Why does /v/ always get triggered if a character doesn't look like a Japanese Idol?
>>341481454
I usually don't care about this stuff but Asari are canonically supposed to be very attractive.
>>341481796
Only in the known galaxy. What if this is a Asari tribe from the new galaxy and they have developed different because the environment they live is more hostile. So instead looking attractive for the other races they look more dangerous to intimidate threats/strangers.
>>341481796
You can't show attractive women in games anymore, Anon. That's politically not correct, because there are people who are less attractive.
>>341480786
How do they manage to fuck up asari???
>>341482713
>different galaxy
>still home to the same species as the Milky Way
>>341482918
BiowEAr
>>341483208
Don't bother, Anon. That guy clearly has no sense of how fucking big a galaxy is.
>>341483208
>There is no possibility that there was a connection between both galaxys that got destroyed thousand years ago
>>341481796
>I usually don't care about this stuff but Asari are canonically supposed to be very attractive.
You say that like they hypnotize the other species to make them think that, but that's not actually true. Drunk people at a bar don't change the fact that statues, pictures, etc.. all match up to what we see in game, and in fact, those drunks' descriptions of the Asari stripper also matched with what we saw.
>>341483745
>connection between Milky Way and Andromeda
>thousand years ago
I thought you reddit fags worshiped astrophysics black guy
>>341483745
If Asari were space faring (especially if they were capable of intergalactic travel) that long ago then why didn't they get completely wiped out by the Reapers like Protheans?
>One of the planets/moons you visit is going to have a huge crater in it
>The center of that crater will be something clearly artificial
>"Huh, I guess Newton really is the deadliest son of a bitch in space."
Guarantee you this will happen. The thing that one guy fired will up in Andromeda
>>341483745
Maybe Nubian princes used the power of melanin to pilot pyramids between the two galaxies 6,000 years ago.
After all, we wuz kangz 'n' sheeeeit.
>>341484391
This. What fraction of the Milky Way's solar systems were explored? Was it 1/3 or less? There would be no fucking reason to travel through a 2.5 million light year void to Andromeda, when there are literally hundreds of billions of unexplored stars within less than a tenth of that distance.
>>341481454
The entire concept of the Asari revolves around them being alluring to other species.
I get that Bioware wants to be edgy. I got that when they made the ugly annoying elf in DA:I. But this time they're shitting all over a canon that they established.
Which is pretty much all that Bioware does anymore.
>>341484553
Those slugs travel at a portion of the speed of light. It would take millions of years for one of them to get to andromeda, and the odds of one hitting a planet would be extraordinarily low.
>>341486024
So? Bioware does bullshit all the time.
>>341485267
who's writing andromeda though? did they hire a real writer?
It's over. ME:A is not even out yet and they lost already.
>>341485267
You say that like they went out of their way to make her ugly instead of it just turning out that way by accident. It wouldn't be the first time.
>>341486439
Considering the shitshow that is DA:I, everyone either left or got fired and they dug up tumblr "writers"
>>341481454
Well it's about when a company trying to virtue signal and cater to asshats who isn't even their consumers et cetera
>>341486314
I don't think they've done something that blatantly dumb.
>>341486884
Mass Effect 3 had the Reapers' main motivation being that they should kill everything before they can make machines that will kill everything
>>341486884
Qunari
>>341486786
I think they actually ARE biowares audience now. Mass effect is very popular with the Tumblr types. Just look at the reddit
>>341482713
>b-b-but that's only in the known galaxy reeeee
>>341487082
>>341487083
I mean disregarding fucking basic division.
>>341487656
I guess, but it wouldn't be a surprise if they started now.
>>341487418
I remember that I did not really knew about SJW and the rest until Mass Effect 3, and even then I could feel, playing ME 2 and ME 3 that something has changed.
>>341481454
Nigger if I wanted to experience a bunch of ugly fucks, I would walk around in public more and take a gander at a mirror. Video games are a fantasy setting, so let me have my 10/10 people walking around everywhere.
>>341480786
That looks worse though.
Alright /v/ so I've gotten to replay ME 1 for a long time now and I'm loving it, but I'm a bit weary about ME2. Is it good or did they drop the ball completely? I can't remember.
>>341483208
If humans can get there so can Asari, they live thousands of years.
>>341481454
Japanese idols are shit though.
>>341487987
dey fukd up
>>341487987
2 was the beginning of the downward spiral. Not terrible, but definitely not as good as 1.
>>341481454
I don't know, why do you self insert as ugly women? You're not your mother.
>Playing Mass Effect 7 as a Drell
>Asari still look human
Fucking shit game.
>>341487987
2 was horrendous.
Everything even remotely interesting about ME1 was either ignored or worse: retconned.
>>341487987
ME2 plays better, but just about everything else is worse in every way imaginable.
>>341486439
Bioware hired Chris Schlerf as a writer, who was previously responsible for writing Halo 4
He left at the recent staff exodus and now works for Bungie
>mfw I like the new chubby piggy nose asari
I prefer imperfections in vidya girls. Makes it feel more authentic.
>>341489061
Piss off
>>341487082
I realise you're retarded so I'm going to spell it out for you
Reapers kill advanced civilization before it creates machines that wipe out all life. Reapers leave primitive life to develop again until that point.
It does make sense.
I want to bully Garrus.
>>341489503
Yes, because clearly galactic genocide is the only possible solution to that problem.
>>341489503
You shouldn't defend them. They don't deserve it.
>>341481796
Outliers confirm the rule.
>>341489503
It does not even begin to make sense.
Remember that Reapers also manipulate the technological development of every species in the galaxy.
If they hate technopocalypses so bad, why don't they just stop giving organic life the means with which to create murderous robots?
The Reapers have also demonstrated that they are fully capable of infecting killer robots and bending them to their will, like with the Geth.
Why would they murder all of civilization to save it from robots when they can just turn off the robots?
>>341489503
>It does make sense.
Only from the standpoint of a logically non-thinking machine, which reapers are not.
>>341489369
>>341480786
I think she's cute. Bet she has a great smile.
>>341490473
>Bioware
>Great smile
>Playing any ME after the blunder of the century that was 3
nty
This game is going to be so shitty so that they might actually try to pander to furry audience in the last ditch attempt to score some faggotry points.
which is fine by me
>>341480786
She looks okay. At least she is not Super Girl levels of bad.
>>341487987
The gameplay is a lot more bearable, everything else is slightly worse.
>>341490473
That's a photoshop. Pic related is the actual face.
>>341490968
The fuck is that
>>341491175
No it's not
>>341490968
>Super Girl
What the fuck, that looks like Super 40 Year Old Mother
>>341490968
Looks like a younger Hillary Clinton.
>>341491607
>>341491607
Yes, it is.
I'M FUCKIN HIDEOUS
>>341491704
>Someone actually took the time to shop all of those frames
>>341491704
that scene is so weird and felt out of place.
Do you think in Andromeda we might actually get to see space action from the inside of the ship through its windows instead of the annoying outside God-camera view? ITs just feels wrong when you supposedly on the orbit of some planet, but you can't see that planet from the window of your ship. Your ship feels disconnected from the Universe when you inside of it, and then out of the sudden in the cutscenes from the outside camera position you get to see that your ship in some intresting places.
will they return unlimited ammo?
>>341483745
But that's such a cop out. Different galaxy guys but it's all the same shit except for a few different enemy types.
>>341483406
If humans, a species that's still pretty damn new to space travel, could get to Andromeda, why is it even remotely farfetched to say that Asari, a race for older and more adept to space travel, didn't get there some time in the past?
>>341480786
>"I shiggy diggy"
Xer face is meme fuel.
>>341491175
What exactly is wrong with this?
>>341492406
Not if they want a part of the Cowadoody audience.
Limiting your "ammo" (or heatsinks) is easier than designing a challenging combat system even with unlimited ammo.
>>341492667
She's only halfway done with her makeup, or whatever the hell that eye swipe is.
>>341492667
it looks like Khovanskiy faggot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cELCAK6rtSM
>>341492881
but all asaris have weird face paint
>>341492897
no it doesn't
>>341492667
It's hideous.
It's also fat. She's got a hideous, fat face.
The sort of face a woman has when she is so fat her face is no longer capable of emoting clearly.
And then they animate it making emotions anyway and it nosedives into uncanny valley.
wew lads
>>341492667
Aside from the fact that people generally like attractive characters in their games, it also reflects a larger issue with Bioware's current direction.
>>341491704
>>341491749
Nice after effects retard
What you're seeing here is a subversion of a trope that these people consider offensive these days: The Sexy Alien Girl. If pressed about it no one ever really can explain WHY the trope is so offensive, but I have a theory: It symbolizes colonialism. The idea that there are women out there for men to conquer that could motivate them to explore the world is an impulse that is as old as humans having ideas. It's that desire to see new worlds (and fuck the women that live there) that pressed us onward throughout history. Our postmodern obsession with our own extinction (and the dickheads who walk around saying we deserve to go extinct) get angry when someone tries to create a reason to motivate your average person to explore space.
>>341493067
It's nowhere near as bad as you're making it out to be. It also doesn't even look that fat. You can clearly see her chin, and it ain't a double. It just looks like her face is rounder than normal.
>>341493106
That their character designers suck? We already knew that, see>>341486530
>>341492881
>or whatever the hell that eye swipe is.
Watch a damned movie, nigga
>>341493062
>but all asaris have weird face paint
They had tattoos.
>>341493062
Well if she has time to put paint on her face why couldn't she add some foundation? Or use that weird charm spell thing their race uses.
>>341493062
Don't argue with me boy. This abomintoin also will probably have the same horrible sense of humor. Have you saw the sudden change of attitude? i fucking know this face and its psyche
>>341486439
Mac Walters, some curry nigger who hates white people and an annoying feminist who has never written any fiction.
So still better than Hamburger Hepler.
>>341493106
I am a person and a game full of doll-like characters is boring. Throw in a few people that actually look different please. Also, that image is pure bait. Those 2 characters look nothing like that Jewess. Why is she even in that image?
>>341493482
Well is the eye swipe paint or a tattoo? This is very important.
>>341493310
I think you're overthinking it. It's just feminists and SJWs not liking it when games have anything that appeals to anyone who isn't them.
>>341493654
It's /v/ grasping as usual
>>341493106
Neither of those are straight up unattractive. Even then I despise Anita's "critiques" but not every character in a game needs to be a total sex bomb.
>>341486530
They were actually pretty explicit about "inverting expectations" and "challenging traditionals views" about beauty. That's why the DA:I elf is such a disgusting mutant.
>>341493237
Both those faces are real. The human woman is the default face for the female PC.
>>341486884
Did you ever see the ending to ME3?
>>341493482
Nowhere in the lore does it say they're tattoos.
>>341493520
Are you complaining about makeup on a character? Are you a faggot?
>>341493589
You're over reacting. She doesn't look anywhere near as bad as you're making her out to look, and she's animated better than anything from the other ME games.

>>341493106
Never enjoyed the morning grease effect they added in DA:I
>>341493362
In this case, it's more about SJW pandering than making an honest attempt and failing.
>>341493360
>You can clearly see her chin, and it ain't a double
Which is exactly what makes it so uncanny. The face itself is disgusting in its porcine obesity but they gave her a normal chin and contort the fat face into normal human expressions and it is vomit inducing.

>>341494060
To be fair, that screenshot is taken in a very humid place, a part of the Fade full of dirt, water, and blood. I never noticed that "morning grease" you mention in other locations.
>>341494139
But that isn't an obese face. Pic related is.
That asaris face is defined, no protruding forehead and visable jawline, obvious cheek shape.
Sounds to me you're just mad she's not a Liara clone.
>>341493653
being gay has become a meme.
10% of the population is gay or less, yet in all of the bioware games half the characters are gay or sucking dicks.
>>341493654
>>341493767
you're forgetting about the common conventions of a cast makeup anons. There's likely to be several humans on your team, but only one Asari. Why not make one of the humans ugly instead and preserve the beauty of the alien race?
>>341494486
>But that isn't an obese face. Pic related is.
So you admit that you're blind.
>>341494275

>It does make sense.
No, it doesn't. The fact that the Citadel species have abolished AI and the fact that the Geth can be negotiated with proves empirically that there is no need to exterminate organic life in order to prevent robots from exterminating organic life. You stupid cunt.

>>341494650
Not him but you are an absolute retard, her face is wide but it's not fat. A fat face does not have a strong jawline, pronounced cheekbones, and sunken cheeks.
>>341494505
How do you know that Asari is even on your team? You're making assumptions when we've only seen 2 girls, 1 who is the new femshep who also doesn't look that bad.
>>341494672
>fuck he got me
>better call him shill
cy@
>>341495013
Fatsari doesn't have pronounced cheekbones or sunken cheeks either, which is why she looks so fat.
>>341481454
Probably because tumblrware can't do simple character design, we don't even know why it looks like Shrek or this dude in pic related.
>>341493751
Maybe, but when you have those same people throwing around ideas like "toxic masculinity" and poo-pooing legitimate scientific achievements because the man who did them wore an offensive shirt I'm not so sure. The idea that humanity is garbage that needs to die off is a more pervasive one than you think.
Apparently, Aaron Flynn had to go to therapy due to the ending backlash, according to one the more recent interviews.
>>341494653
If you are worried about unrealistically attractive female characters in a fucking game about a space ninja kicking the ass of ancient evil robots, then you are clearly suffering from a form of autism that is so extreme it is a wonder you are able to function.
Or you're a feminist who thinks that donating to Anita will convince girls to touch you.
Either way, you're a faggot and you don't belong here.
>>341495023
well generally games don't promote themselves by using background NPCs that have no bearing on the plot.
>>341494384
It's absolutely not just in the fade - how the fuck have you never noticed the shitty lighting in DA:I?
>>341495320
Good, hopefully he realized what a dickhead he was
One of the bioware writers is the same person who claimed that GTA V let people virtually rape people and wanted police action done against it.

In my experience, people who advocate "culling the human herd" never include themselves among those who need to be culled.

I am fully aware I am autistic, but this bugs me so much.
>>341495923
I see you've never met a VHEMT activist.
Hopefully this "controversy" still exists when it releases and someone will just mess with the textures and fix it.
>>341496093
They're still not including themselves. Just potential future generations
>>341495356
Who said I'm worried?
I prefer characters with actual definable looks and that generally includes imperfections in their face or body shape.
Look at Zaeed. He was one ugly mother fucker but nobody complained about him. He was a great character. I loved his look.
The fact you're so offended that I don't like seeing mannequin faces that you're resorting to calling me an anita supporting feminist is hilarious though.
>>341496093
I think those people just say we should stop having children, not actively kill anyone.
>>341496405
But you disagree with me so you must be a SJW nu-male feminist cuck :^)
Thank god I wrote this series off after ME3. What a fiasco.
>>341496085
No you're spot on.
Mass Effect 1 was pretty good. ME2 was entertaining and good but it showed a lack of direction towards the end. ME3 is full on pants on head homo and retarded. When you build a universe like ME1 you at least can expect COHERENCE in it but that would be too hard and you have to sell the homos.
And the homos don't even play these videogames.
>>341496532
They want to cull the entire human species, themselves included.
Their preferred method is voluntary extinction.
>>341496623
u got me
>>341496785
They will die out eventually, they just want everyone to stop having babies.
>>341496742
>it showed a lack of direction towards the end
I think you mean "from the beginning", they had no idea what to do with anything from ME1 so they ignored it entirely for a bunch of side-quests to help the crew with their daddy issues oh and also let's ignore the Reapers entirely for some random bug people.
Oh and here's TIM: King of Cerberus! He's got no idea what the fuck he or his organization are doing, and since the writer was too stupid to notice this you aren't allowed to call TIM out on it.
>>341497281
>and also let's ignore the Reapers entirely for some random bug people
You mean the Protheans modified by the Reapers to collect genetic samples and then humans to build a pseudo-reaper that looks like Terminator for no reason?
>>341497852
They're not Protheans and the idea that they were working for the Reapers all along was clearly a random last-minute asspull.
The reason this bitch looks so ugly is because her face paint makes it look like she has no eyebrows and people without eyebrows look fucking weird.
>>341496785
They don't want to murder anyone, though.
Regardless, all those arguments about how humans need to die "for the good of the planet" are stupid anyway. The planet doesn't give a fuck. It *can't* give a fuck, because it's just an inanimate, non-sentient ball of rock. Why anyone would care more about an inanimate ball of rock than thinking, feeling, conscious beings is beyond me.
Antinatalists oppose procreation because they want to avoid creating human suffering. That makes sense. But fuck the self-hating VHEMT types who cite "the good of the Earth" as their motivation.
>>341483954
They use psychic powers to make themselves look attractive to you. They do not actually look like humans.
Did the Reapers ever visit Andromeda?

>They're not Protheans
Yes they are. You learn that on the Collector ship.
>>341482848
>because there are people who are less attractive.
No. There are white straight men who are less attractive. You can't compare anyone higher on the oppression ladder and determine that they are lesser in some way than cis scum. Equality of outcome, comrade. We have nothing to lose but our chains. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
>>341498238
Asari don't have eyebrows anon.
>>341498238
Asari don't have eyebows.
Some tattoo fake eyebrows on, like Liara, but not all.
Actually I'm not even sure why she bothered, wasn't she supposed to be a turbo-autist who spent 50 years Indiana Jonesing old ruins? Other Asari her age are at least pole-dancing strippers and have a reason to care about their appearance.
>>341498508
And it's based on absolutely nothing but one throwaway line from a guy drunk off his ass at a bachelor party.
>>341498523
The writer tells us they're Protheans, but that conflicts with everything the first game tells us about Protheans. Because the writer for 2 was retarded.
>>341485267
>But this time they're shitting all over a canon that they established.
But they didn't. The original writers bailed the fuck out long ago. The current people don't give a shit about lore or canon if it gets in the way of "progressiveness".
>>341496742
Pants on head is /v/'s newest memeword. Get this and other famous memes on 4chan.org: your place for fun.
>>341498834
Head over to the bar run by the Asari matron and take a shot of Wrexohol.
Her texture changes and she looks more scaly, revealing her half-Krogan heritage.
Getting drunk off your ass dispels her glamor and she stops looking quite so human.
>>341485267
To be fair I thought Mass Effect 3's story was pretty darn good up until the ending. But that wasn't the fault of the lead writer, they had to fudge up some horseshit because the first one got leaked instead of them being intelligent and rational, and just keeping the original fucking ending which wasn't complete dogshit.
At the very least the fans in their denial gave them a way out of their shitty fucking tri-colored bullshit with their own theory that conveniently explained everything.
>>341498697
b-but you can clearly see the faint hairs of eyebrows on her???
>>341498905
why can't they be prothean related? they were just so modified that they they took on an appearance so vastly diffrient from what they originally were. that is where i thought that they were going because we clearly see protheans on Ilos and in the visons, along with collectors in the visons. it's just in three that they went full Africa with Javik
>>341494384
Wrong. She almost always look like she applies Crisco as lotion, or sweat clear oily slime. Like Tumblrinas do.
Disgusting.

Yeah, this totally proves that they're hypnotizing everyone.

Or, perhaps, it's just a "beer goggles" joke.
cmon, boys. it don't fukcing matter.
>>341499894
He said the exact opposite thing nigga.
>>341499458
The original dark energy ending was just as bad. ME3 was fucked from the beginning.
>>341500107
He's also wrong.
She's scaly even before you get drunk. After you get drunk, the biggest difference is the whore make-up and she looks a little younger.

Why does the nose change so goddamn much with during such a tiny facial animation?
Oh yeah bioware can't animate worth shit

Looks like a tranny. They must've modeled it after one of the trannies working for EA. Either that or one of the man-looking 'womyn' working for EA.
Definitely man-looking
>man facial structure that's slightly feminized with hormones
>man nose, which doesn't really change even under extreme hormone therapy--only surgery could fix it
>in addition, the nose is ugly and undesirable--again, only surgery could fix that
>man mouth structure, with man lips (and lipstick)
>man chin and jaw--hormone therapy was not done early enough
>hint of shaving over the years
>hint of Adam's apple
>thick neck
I prefer OP's pic. Looks much more feminine. They need to fix this to look more like OP's pic. Don't want another Trans-sandra to romance.

I had a feeling the nose was... well, you know.
Also looked like one of the 'sandpeople' or a dirty Turk.

That's right. Because I said so. Problem?

Different species but evolved down a similar route.
