Topic header says it all, really. While I did play it back in the day, I never got a good consensus from people about why they didn't like it, other than they thought Star Fox 64 was a superior game. So I ask you, fellow Escapists, what made Star Fox Assault so bad? Was it the short and...

Seeing as how most of the responses to this tweet have centered on "Great, now show us some actual gameplay" more than "ME3's ending sucked", I think it's safe to say most people have come to terms with their feelings on the series as a whole. Yes, Mass Effect is worthy of accolades when you...

The thing is, compared to the flaming turds that would be slung at the mere mention of ME3's ending a year ago, the response to anything Mass Effect related at the present has been very subdued, bordering on apathy. I think once everyone had a chance to collect their thoughts over the whole...

What I see there is 13% chose ME3, hardly enough to for it to be a majority considering you can mash any two of the ones ranking #2(The Walking Dead) to #8 (Far Cry 3), and get a result higher than #1. OT: I really think Pulling an Elder Scrolls would be the easiest out for Mass Effect...

You know, I thought I had moved on from the whole debacle, but then my latest issue of GameInformer named ME3 their GOTY, and all those old wounds I thought had healed bubbled back to the surface, with all the feelings and emotions that accompanied them: The disappointment after my first full...

1. Starcraft: Brood War, Half Life 2, Mass Effect 2 2. Male. 3. 22

You know, I just realized something. It showed TIM for the Control ending, and Anderson for the Destroy ending, but no one for the Merge ending. It was your post about TIM mimicking Saren that made me remember Saren's final monologue: "I am a perfect being, flesh and steel intertwined, the...

You're right, for all that happens beforehand, those 20 seconds at the end throw it all for a loop. Why include it, AND make it the hardest to obtain, unless everything on the Citadel never happened?

It's not just Shepard gasping for breath that lends weight to the indoctrinated/hallucination theory, but several other things about that scene. For example, if you listen closely in the background, there's a distict metallic/synthetic sound that sounds similiar to a Reaper or husk, but they...

Xbox 360, and it's not just the map not working, he can't raise his readiness level at all, either.

Anyone else experiencing a problem with ME 3's Galaxy at War map? Every time my brother tries to look at his Galactic Readiness level, the map has a "Unable to connect with server" over it. But when I use my own system, it works fine. We live in the same house, and we both used separate Online...

After thinking about this overnight, something occurred to me. Isn't there some kind of post-game where you go around finishing all the stuff you missed? If that's so, is it the DA:O kind that zaps you back in time to before the PoNR, or like ME2's where you play after the final showdown?

The double-standards of some haters (or fans) amazes me. Up until now, people were slamming Bioware for possibly pulling a Deus ex Machina on the endgame or that the Reapers weren't threatening enough, and that everything would turn out perfect if you did all the right choices. But now that...

Yeah, I remember them saying things like "silhouette is important in PvP" and now BAM!, cross faction races. I wonder what got them to reconsider cross faction races?

Title says it all, I'd add a link, but the site I would link you to is down, presumably from all the traffic crashing the servers. So, what do you think about this? Has Blizzard finally jumped the shark, or is this just what WoW needs to get back in its stride?
