Ceptic Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Been in hospital over-night. I did try and warn me young pretty (Nurse), on the eve afore, o' theese prophetic occurrences that will take place thus, on the following day, nameleee the nineteenth o' this, the ninth month. Pity is, me hearties, that me warning was to no avail....Particularly when attempting to communicate to the various Housemen, Consultant, Staff Nurses, Student Nurses, plus their attendants, in this ancient language of the 'Olde Privateere'. I thought they would have, possibly, cottoned on, pretty quick.....I was wrong....Thank God. Edited September 19, 2017 by Ceptic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomboid Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Idiots. All of you... For not recognising May 4th and November 7th. As am I for even capitulating to this nonsense. C6T. I know may 4th, but what's exciting about November 7th?Only thing I can think of is Mass Effect, but that's not exactly mainstream. I doubt many of us here have a clue why Quarians wear those suits... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Aha! You get twenty points Zomboid. It is indeed Mass Effect day! Where we all take everso slightly too long to answer a simple question because it might ruin our day later on and try to get blue alien chicks into our quarters. This year I are mostly being annoyed at the ruination of a franchise by the announcement of no DLC for Andromeda, concentrating instead on online dicking about. Grand Theft Auto V in space then, cheers EA. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I wasn't that bothered by DLC in the trilogy (aside from the stuff that was essential to explain what happened between 2 & 3), so not having any for Andromeda isn't bothering me. Online multiplayer Mass Effect though... Pointless. Didn't do it with 3, won't do it with Andromeda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) It probably shouldn't bother me either, but I REALLY liked 2 & 3. But due to purchase price at the time, bought a PS3 'lite' with only 9Gb drive. That soon gets filled and barely have enough space for one of the add-ons, let alone four! Didn't make the same mistake with PS4, a 1Tb monster. In an ideal world they'll remaster the first three, with add ons, for PS4, but read they'd disbanded the team/studio that made the games, hence no more storyline add ons, which also probably means no remaster either?

Big James Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 They originally started to remake the first 3 but EA stepped in and stopped it saying their wasn't any money in it they should focus on andromeda. Andeamada wasn't a bad game but it was a bland game. I preferred dragon age 3. Big name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 How does the first Mass Effect stand up to 2 & 3 then? Getting the game by itself seems tricky but the Trilogy edition seems to be knocking around pre-owned. Pointless buying it though if the first game fails to deliver. The download for ME1 is 10.2 gig, and rather naughtily IMO, Sony trumpet a 12Gb flash drive on PS3 lite, but only tell you in the blurb 2Gb of that is required for system software! Might be worth wiring in a portable hard drive or even part-exing for a fatter console... C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 ME1 is a very different game in terms of how you play it (45-60 sec cool down on skills, infinite ammo - though the guns over heat). But it's terrific. Looks its age a bit, but if you like ME2/3 then you simply have to try ME1. You can have Wrex in your squad for a start... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
