What Game Got you Started???

[Axeldeath]

and yes, it gets the "shittiest vehicle controls of all time" award.

 

Now, now. Don't forget DNF and Borderlands.

[Pinkie Pie]

DNF

Ick, don't remind me.

[Chuckthe2nd]

Now, now. Don't forget DNF and Borderlands.

 

Borderlands, yeah. Never played DNF.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I thought both Borderlands and DNF had fine vehicle controls. Granted they took a bit to get used to but once I did I thought it was fine.

 

It's like the Mako in ME1. I can drive it fine once I got used to it. Why do people complain so much about that?

[Axeldeath]

Why do people complain so much about that?

 

Because it's more like piloting a balloon than a car.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Guess I just like shitty controls then.

[Pinkie Pie]

You have a point, though. People do complain WAY too much about that kind of stuff then they should.

 

Seriously, there was nothing wrong with the ME1 elevators, they were optional most of the time and they only took 16 or so seconds. ffs

[Martin]

Dem elevator conversations.

[Alyxx Thorne]

And elevators gave you sidequests.

They were a really long loading screen, the way they did it in ME2 was far better.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I feel we're getting sidetracked here. Let's try and get back on track.

Before the patch in my old PC elevators took above 1min sometimes.

Thats why people complained so much about it lol.

I really enjoyed the mako btw.

[BTGBullseye]

Yeah, I loved driving that Mako around, doing epic jumps, then sticking the landing... lol

[Arby]

I missed Mako Mountain climbing. When I saw Makos on the ground on Earth at the end I got a little watery eyed, "Even you're here Mako! =D" A lot of those ME3 planet backgrounds outside of the mission area look like prime Mako territory, 90 degree cliffs all around. challenge accepted.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Seriously, guys, this topic is not about Mass Effect or the mako, let's try and get back on track. Keep this to the Mass Effect thread, please.

[Kirkreng]

Well what do you want us to do? Just say the game that got us started and that's it? Seems like a pretty pointless thread then.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Or elaborate on it, perhaps? I just thought we'd talk about games that were older than Mass Effect.

[Kirkreng]

Well I think we should talk about games that got someone started and if that is Mass Effect then so be it.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Fair enough, but let's try to keep the discussion a bit varied.

[Husker]

I'd say half-life 2 was what got me hooked. I never considered story to be such an attractive factor in video games before playing it.
