@BenBrocka mmmh

if you remember at the time

there were a bunch of complaints

Lucas Kauffman

which is very unfortunate

kalina

one big one: the choices at the end suck

Zerofennec

@kalina for me it was just a decision to put another game manager on my computer. Since I already have nearly 40 titles with steam, what's the point of setting up another account for one maybe two games?

kalina

and loads of small ones, like "where did my crew go", "why was there nobody at the beam" etc

the free DLC turned the last 15 minutes into 40 minutes

and answered all of the little questions while leaving the ending crap

@Zerofennec 200 games on steam, 10 on origin

shrug

Ben Brocka

So, definitely not worth checking out

kalina

4:02 PM

@BenBrocka if you own ME3, play it with that DLC installed

Ben Brocka

Especially since I played with a default save, and the default save made the worst decisions ever in the first two games

kalina

if you don't own ME3 and you're not a fan of the series, I duno, wait until it's dirt cheap on sale or something

Ben Brocka

@kalina I already beat it twice

Unionhawk

> nearly 40 titles with steam

heh

kalina

@BenBrocka right then, probably not unless you actually want to play the game again

Unionhawk

4:02 PM

Humble Bundles o/

Ben Brocka

and I don't know if I have a save file close enough to the ending (or if I can do that)

kalina

if you play it again, it's worth having that DLC installed

if you want to see how the ending changed, don't really bother

the Citadel DLC is worthy buying for any proper mass effect fans though because they bring back all of the characters for a party

other than the Citadel DLC, the others aren't really ground breaking enough to warrant buying unless you want bits of side story

Zerofennec

@Unionhawk That number is due to increase. I've been under a hefty car loan for the last 5 years. I'm about to pay that off on the 15th....HELLO VIDEO GAMES :D~~

kalina

you do get to meet one of the species that created the reapers though

and the Omega DLC is a nice distraction

gives you a reasonable mission with Aria in your squad

arguable that none of them are as good as Stolen Memories either

5:59 PM

Well, that depends on what you think the step from TF2 to TF3 involves.

Powerlord

@FEichinger Well, the thing is... the inventory system, at least for cosmetic items, would have to be ported between games.

Mainly because an entire user-run economy sprouted up around it.

Valve makes a LOT of money off of TF2.

FEichinger

@Powerlord Yeh. I definitely don't see them making an independent new game, and leaving TF2 as is. Give it a rather big update with the engine switch and call that TF3, though? Sure.

Powerlord

...simply because the base currency is an item that costs $2.50 real money and must be bought from Valve by someone in order to enter the system.

@kalina I still don't understand why a competitive FPS game is all about the hats.

kalina

@Sterno well it wasn't, was it? It was Valve's platform for testing microtransactions

the fact it's hats is just because Valve is a bit random

Valve says hats

I say cake

that sort of thing

Sterno

Presumably, it's about shooting other people in the face, and just happens to have hats. That's how it always was for me, anyway.

kalina

but once you introduce something like that to a product, moving people off that product at a later date becomes harder as more time passes

well Team Fortress was always less about the individual player and more about team work

Sterno

I never understood the people running the game in another window to grind for hats

I don't understand grinding for hats.

@kalina Hats were added to TF2 before Microtransactions by at least a year.

kalina

@Powerlord there is an interview somewhere that the whole point of hats was to test microtransactions, just because the mechanics for paying took another year to add means nothing - this is Valve we're talking about

by adding the hats first, the microtransaction mechanics had less chance of causing an uproar

Powerlord

@Sterno That doesn't work in TF2 any more.

It requires you to acknowledge an item drop before the timer for the next one even starts.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno We decided that if BCG was the better place, to migrate them there.

Yah, but I think things will get even cloudier with Hex. The rules are VERY close to Magic, so people over there might be better at strategy questions. But since it is online only, it doesn't make sense to ask over there.
