That Time Kojima Deceived Everyone About Metal Gear Solid 2's Main Character Cliff Notes Version: The gameplay demos for Metal Gear Solid 2 featured the franchise's beloved protagonist, Solid Snake. When the game shipped, players found out to their horror that Kojima had swapped out Solid Snake for Raiden as the main character and fans went apeshit with rage. And yeah, if the Ryder's are brother and sister and the demos feature the brother, there is potential for the sister to be the actual default main character.
Eivion Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I kind of hate and love that at the same time. I don't really see them doing that here though as it sounds more like an either or thing, and I can't imagine them taking away the gender choice with the type of game MA is.
J.T. Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I personally think it would be awesome if one of the starting members of your crew / fireteam was the other Ryder sibling. That would be different if your bro / sis was your XO or Gunnery Chief or something, but most real life military regs do not allow family members to serve in a direct chain of command. I am sure that military realism grognards would raise hell about it on the Bioware boards if it went down like that even though 1) it's a game and 2) we're talking about unique expeditionary mission where only a few people will have the expertise to pull it off.
RIPPA Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I believe Dishonored 2 is doing a sister where you pick either Father or Daughter and play that character the entire game (unlike the Assassin's Creed model where you flip back and forth between siblings) I am not thrilled at the prospect of playing as two (or more different people) but whatevs I already know I am gonna sink another 1000 hours plus into the game

You know the sibling would get Jenkins'd in the first mission. 1

Jenkins really is set up to fail in my more recent playthroughs. Alenko and I are rolling up with our maxed out Predator armor, Savant amps and Spectre weapons, and that poor bastard is stuck with his crappy level one gear. No wonder he went down so easy.

I would rather be the Jenkins model than the DA2 model Because the DA2 model totally fucked over my game because she was my base Mage Stupid fucking DA2
RIPPA Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 The constant hype over a N7 Day reveal gives me more and more confidence that this game is coming in March
J.T. Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Fucking hell. I need to get me a Slim by February.
Jerome Miller Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 My own half-assed predictions, because I'm an old fart who has better things to do with his life than produce a 90 minute video blog on Youtube in which I break down every single frame of footage of the PS4 Pro and make guesses about it: Spoiler The sleeper ship is the size of the Citadel and actually has 12-13 million humans/turians/asari/krogan/volus/salarians/batarians/etc. in the stasis tubes. The asari did like Castro in the Marial Boatlift and used the launching of the sleeper ship as an excuse to secretly dump a bunch of criminals and mentally handicapped/mentally ill asari on the ship and out of asari society. The "raccoon" asari shown is an expy of Jack. The Big Bad is the Ryder father, who spent long periods out of cryo stasis and either went crazy from isolation or struck a deal with aliens in the Andromeda galaxy to sell off the humans, etc. as slaves or food. (Basically, Matt Damon's character from "Interstellar.") The "Virmire Choice" will involve having to sacrifice your sibling to save the rest of the crew. Bonus points if your sibling is then corrupted by the aliens ala Sarah Kerrigan.
BurningBeard Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Take it FWIW but apparently Amazon have leaked the release date of the game via the listing of the Andromeda art book (they were due for same day release)
RIPPA Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 If that remains true - the release date is March 21, 2017

RIPPA Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I was legit planning on getting a PS4 just for Horizon: Zero Dawn and it almost feels pointless since I know I wont play anything outside of Andromeda no matter how terrible it is

The only drawback is it's got The Order: 1886 and No Man's Sky. Can't win them all.
Eivion Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Poor Persona 5 is going to be ignored by me about a month in of playing it.
Gonzo Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Small reminder that we're about a week away from N7 Day. That is all.
J.T. Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Nice callback to the moonbase we weren't allowed to destroy. Fucking Rogue VI. 1
AxB Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Don't talk about EDI that way. She was young and confused back then. 2
