A list of removed songs from the GTA Trilogy have been making rounds on the internet.

I’m here to simply say this list is fake and while the OP claims to have gotten the list from encrypted preload files that is next to impossible since the only consoles right now to have preload is Xbox and Switch at the moment and you need special tools just to decrypt on those systems.

Also R* would of actively went ahead and updated the legacy versions of these titles to remove some of the newly removed songs too.

I read the list then only read the last of your paragraph to realize it’s fake. Thank goodness! I am relieved. :relieved: Because if it’s true, that’s a hell lot of classic tunes gone for the games that set their atmospheres right at their respective eras. Man, can you imagine a ride back to the hotel on a Faggio without Billie Jean playing in the background? It would be horrible! Although I can see where the OP came from, because R* had indeed done this before, to IV and its episodes specifically.

Edit: only realized Billie Jean was long gone since the mobile port. My bad. Still a shame the song never appears since.

To celebrate N7 Day, EA and BioWare have released a brand new piece of artwork, teasing the next entry into the Mass Effect franchise.

It’s safe to assume it’s a sequel to ME3. I’m hoping it’s a continuation of the Destroy ending since it’s the only one where Shepard is shown to possibly be alive.

My theory is that the control ending will be canon.

Spoiler:

In the video teaser trailer we see Liara and she definitely hasn’t been synthesised. The destroy ending is possible - although it would have to assume the player had earned 4000+ military strength points. Personally, I think that when Shepard becomes part of the Reaper collective he/she will see the universe the way they did and will inevitably inherit the same nihilistic view of life. The assimilated Shepard will become the new antagonist. We will be controlling a new protagonist with the possibility of assembling the old crew who knew Shepard well and possibly the only ones who might know how to bring him/her down.

Am I the only one here that hates that this game is a direct trilogy sequel when it should be literally anything else?

I’m more so looking forward to how they are gonna approach the new game in terms of the endings for ME3. They could either incorporate all three that drastically alter the game and the world depending on the ending you did or they could be lazy about it.

This game has a lot of live up to given this is a make or break moment for the series after andromeda. I’m cautiously optimistic.

And that is what I am least looking forward to, I don’t want there to be some sort of definitive answer. The final choice wasn’t some big dumb pick-a-colour, I like to think what option is chosen would say a lot about a person who picked any of the options, a final test after three games. Not to mention there was still some finality to it all, if there was enough was a different question and still is.

I am going to say I think EA got worried and thinks Bioware can’t make another standalone Mass Effect game after the contemporary negative perception of Andromeda so EA and Bioware are reverting to type and defaulting on the OG trilogy, hoping people buy it because it shows them things they know.

Also I will bite and say the crater looks like a Geth.

I still hope for a “Deus Ex” way of dealing with the endings, all are true but not to their full extent.

That is you will find out that no one knows what happened, just that Shepard went in the citadel, a bit later the crucible fired and sent a “white pulse” (because the three endings have a blue, a green and red pulse).
The Reapers then flew away and deactivated, seemingly by themselves.

Personally I don’t see how they can continue Mass Effect with the Reapers still standing. The Green ending basically implies galactic peace. What reason is there for any conflict? In the Blue ending, Shepherd becomes the all powerful Reaper high lord. Can’t nobody fuck with them. Bioware would have to invent some new threat stronger than the Reapers, and while there is Leviathan, they seem to have much smaller numbers so by themselves they would lose. So going with the Red ending with a smaller threat seems like the easiest option. However, this doesn’t mean I want to play as Shepherd again. That story is finished in my opinion.

Say what you will about IGN, but the fact that they gave a racing game a 10/10 is impressively interesting…
God, this game looks so good. Makes me actually sad to be on the other side of the console fence.

Might get it for PC, though I need a controller first.
