For some reason I am now playing this instead of Dishonored 2. I don't know what happened! I wanted something to play on the PS4 since I just bought a projector! This only cost 6 bucks! It all happened so fast.

is it any good though?

I'm enjoying it! For now, at least. While it doesn't really excell at any one aspect (the combat, exploration, and story are all solid, but unremarkable) the whole package is exactly the kinda epic space adventure I'm in the mood for right now tho.

That article ranks with Polygon's huge mega blow-outs like their Oral Histories in terms of unnecessary depth and research, and I love it to bits. They ought to feature it somehow in the next Mass Effect whenever it is, maybe in a quest-related findable that features a nymphette recounting her lurid history of sexual encounters through an audio diary.

Personally I'd put Turians at the top by virtue that Garrus is a Turian but that's just me 8]

Gaaaawd I wish there was an option to shut SAM up. Every time I bring up to display to mine resources he helpfully informs me that I can mine resources! Oh really, SAM? I can mine resources? Where can I mine resources, SAM? CAN I MINE RESOURCES WHERE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MINE RESOURCES? HUH? SAM? :mad:

Didn't Mass Effect 2 establish that the Asari somehow appear attractive to whomever is viewing them based on that species' standards of beauty? How could any other race compete with that?

I've played 30 hours of this thing over the past week. I... kinda love it. It has a few issues, sure, but nothing that gets in the way of that great space-adventuring. The combat and exploration are good, and much of the story and characterisation has me hooked. As with most epic RPGs it does suffer from your quest-log filling up with an insane amount of quests though, which leads me to forget what several of them are even about once I get around to doing them. Right now I got a dozen different high-priority missions, but they'll all have to wait, because right now my personal primary objective is throwing a kick-ass movie night for my crew and trying to get into Peebee's pants! :cool:
Here's some photos from my trip so far. These can't compete with Sulphur's Ansel-enhanced PC shots, but even on the lowly PS4 this game is a looker.

I suppose they got improved by a patch at some point. They're not quite Witcher 3 quality, but perhaps slightly better than the ME3 ones.
