    I got my free copy of maff Essect III yesterday. No idea if I'll ever play that.

    Everyone told me I then have to play I and II also. I am not even interested in the franchise :gasmask:

    yeah, but I still managed to drive another city against the wall today :(
    "power snake" is fucked up, I can't sell my processors quick enough to keep everything running, handling services by another city just doesn't work out, my large fire station does not put out fires, sick people tend to walk towards the hospital instead of waiting for the ambulance to arrive, people get of at bus stations across town to walk over half the map afterwards, even though there are closer stations and intersections for them ....

    fuck it. I just don't have the patience to play it save and wait RL days for my city to develop without specializations when they can be turned to shit by bugs within another hour.

    i read something that if you delete a road with a service vehicle the service vehicle remains as "ghost" that takes up a slot but doesnt do shit. dunno have not verified it though ...

    edit:
    also halp what game should i take? i own bf3 thats all. honestly from the ones i can pick from simcity 4 sounds most appealing , but wouldnt it be kinda absurd to take it?! ill also probably not play it as i either play simcity 5 or something else - it might be nice, but its 2d and i cant stand 2d anymore. id rather have future DLC for free ... meh

    I took mass effect 3 without knowing anything useful about it. Played an hour so far and I am not disappointed (does have a lack of nudity though).

    Don't be too nice in conversations with your male crew members or you are in for a surprise.

    OK, fuck it, I'm buying it later today. It can't be worse than BF3, if there are bugs it'll at least be interesting and not one gigantic and boring stalemate.

    It indeed is way less shitty than BF3. If I could I would sell my copies of BF3 and BFBC2.

    That's a smart strategy, you get straight sex and lesbo scenes for free.

    Ok, there's this creepy girl who checks your e-mails and stuff, who is evidently turned on by the overly-sexualized robot's voice (you'll see after the Mars mission if you haven't finished that) and if you're super nice to her and enable her machine fetish, you get treated to a lesbian sex scene! -ish.

    Also, there's that butterface reporter in the overly-tight dress who is in the game for literally no comprehensible reason, but I can't remember if she's supposed to be straight or bi because I never paid attention to her at all in my playthroughs.

    Mass Effect 3 characters were really just so insipid though--there's no real character development, it feels like, simply because all of it has to be jammed into one 15-20 hour game.

    The super buff guy is just sad about some dumb shit he did getting colonists killed (no mission deals with this), the gay shuttle driver is sad because his husband died in the same mission where the buff guy got the colonists killed (you either let yourself get hit on by him or he dies), the creepy e-mail checker is somewhat hot, but she gets turned on by robots which, frankly, I find somewhat disturbing, and the reporter is useless, vapid, and stupid-looking.

    Also, it might just be the sadistic side in me talking, but I'd have liked the ending more if the entire crew just dies except for Shepard, and they cut to him being all depressed and stuff. Unfortunately, this doesn't really work out because there's no really "overarching theme" that spans all three games, as evidenced by their having to wiggle in some stupid conflict between "synthetics" and "organics", even without properly defining the differences between the two (although they could claim to have done that purposefully, due to the green ending blurring the boundaries between the two anyways, now that I think about it).

    I played as a male in DA:o because I feel it helps Morrigan develop more as a character.

    But I never beat the game anyways, or even got to the sex ritual right before you fight the archdemon, so that was pretty pointless.

    I experience most of that just yesterday, the way my plot evolved:

    I shot Unadi in the citadel, when that female ex-crew member that just came from hospital pointed a gun at me in the burning citadel to protect unadi, 10 minutes later I fucked her in the captains shower.Another 2 minutes later had a kinky conversation with that lesbian news reporter. I told the pilot and the robot to engage in love experiments, but so far they just talk :( I told the gay engineer to "die alone" like a proper soldier and gave him engine parts right after. Tali (that turkish alien lady) won't visit my cabin. That blue scientist girl is to busy to fuck. I saved the frog-peoples planet twice and made them fertile again. Now I sat course to, whenever a conversation ends in "Should we trust that race?" with "Hell no, we fuck them over at some point". I guess this game is more messy fun, when you don't understand the story and haven't played the first two ^^ (I haven't)

    Funfact: I downloaded all free DLC, including a nice leather evening dress, that Shepard wears all the time outside of combat, it's open like a skirt. Shepard runs with it like a fat male soldier and tends to sit down with spread legs :heatshot:. Even I find that ridiculous.
