Less stocking, more toes!

ME3.
Sucks.

[url=#user_comment_121806]@jim[/url] give me more hat Money or gtfo. now if you excuse im going to dedicate development to hats on our other franchises such as counter-strike, left4dead and portal. who needs sequels when i can make more out of chumps looking to expand their virtual dicks by burning cash on non-existant clothes.

I died inside when the game finished. Not in a good way.

Meh, I'll watch it on YouTube... maybe...

Hummm. Engie looks good in stockings. Can we have a one-peice swimsuit and ball gag next week?

... I just notice something amazing about this engie...
SHE HAS A NOSE

So much hate in these comments...

I take it Jo like Mass Effect...

DAT ENGIE o_O

EA is going to act like a fucking stalinist wether you give them a reason or not.

Also, piracy isn't stealing. It's copyright infringiment and in no way fulfills the requirements for it to be classified as a theft.

I am not even going to pirate it.
EA games are rarely worth my time.

@Majin K: Updates every week day

@Majin K: Eh, it updates every weekday. Given that this is Mass Effect 3 that just came out, though, I think that Jo is serious about "Next Week".

New to this comic, spent about 4 hours reading from beginning to current.

I'm laughing so hard here, but my main question is how often does this update anyway? ...and before I click the "Troll NOW!!" button, I'm assuming that's the Post Comment Button. Well done, tentacle man. Well done

I don't intend in stealing it, well if I can find a place that sells pc version of ME3 I'll gladly pay for it, but if not I'd rather go pirate YARRR but until then I certainly hope EA will stop being a bunch of pussies with sand in their vaginas and allows steam to sell it.

yeesh people are really bit*ching about ME3, instead of bit*ching about it just go off and do something else, play a different game, read a book, heaven forbid GO OUTSIDE, if you don't like what EA is doing then just don't buy it or even think about playing it ffs

[url=#user_comment_122025]@Combinecommando[/url]: Again, by stealing it, you're just proving their fears to be true. You're giving them the reason to be oppressive dicks. There are some that say PC gaming is dead. In a way, they're right. Between piracy and DRM, being a PC gamer is becoming a far too painful experience.

EA,

I have never liked you. Your FIFA's, your fucking Harry Potter games. And you do this to me.

ARG! DO WHAT YOU WANT 'CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE! YOU ARE A PIRATE!

I mean. As much as Jo loves Hat Fortress 2 we shouldn't be surprised that he'll chug any shit Bioware spurts his way.

There goes a small tear from a non Mass Effect fan thinking of a week without NerfNow...

Suuuure it's really easy to buy the game on another console, like I am going to buy a 360 just to play ME3. I'd be stupid to do so. If EA don't want to sell it on steam and they are actually surprised by the fact pirates got it free, they're asking for it, DON'T FORCE ME TO INSTALL ORIGIN, NO WAY.

AUGH.

THE ENDINGS.

THEY MAKE MY HEART BLEEEEEEED...

Well, EA actually found the digital frontier.. and there's 2 or 3 days of jetlag. My big day is still to come !
Maybe we shall cross path somewhere in the galaxy :-)

Welcoem to your executive-mandated, executive controlled, creativity-free entertainment-unit, consumer drone #42321-1b4. In exchange for your everything, we have issued you (1) copy of Mass Effect 3, whose content has been sanitized and compartmentalized to meet our rigorous standards.

-EA

Isn't Shepard gay? or at least he likes to watch

just ugly.....XD

I was going to say something regarding vibrator-setting on the controller, but clearly people beat me to it.

So instead, this is my comment: BLAaarglarghalarghagh.

That is all.

I will feel the same way when my copy gets here in the next hour or two

Two days before premiere in europe, got my copy today :D

Can some explain to me about what's this supposed to mean? I never played ME3 so I don't understand

what is love? shepard dont hurt me, dont hurt me no more.
im serious this game better be amazing or else some one dies.

Seems that EA does not want me as a customer. Who am I to argue? I liked the first two games, but if they dont want to sell me the third on terms I'm comfortable with I can do without.

@T. Overlord:

>Implying 4chan isn't everywhere.

... OK, WHO DID IT?! Who the **** left the 4chan forum-gates open?! The only good news is that they're all gunning for Mass Effect 3 - so you know what to do people! *Shotgun-pump*

Though I'm not into shooters, ME has an interesting story. Doubt I'll buy this anytime soon, the money gouging is just too disgusting. Pirating games and buying them aren't mutually exclusive, by the way. Call it a trial - the ones worth playing get my money.

my options over the next week will be:

1) read nerf now comics about mass effect

2) play mass effect 3

and thats what we call a win:win.

[url=#user_comment_121863]@Aze[/url]: Actually no, there is an alternative to just stealing it. Get it for console. This Origin debacle has resulted in me buying a used 360 and playing EA's titles that I enjoy playing on it. So you see, stealing is not the answer. You can just move to another platform to get away from it.

If you go Ashley, you are in for a surprise.

[url=#user_comment_121922]@Davtwan[/url]: HUR DUR I PIRAT THIS GAEYM I CAN HAS MY STARZ?

Fucking EA, because of them can't even buy it on steam.

Engi/sexy fem Shepard fanfic here.

BURN MASS EFFECT 3, ON RELEASE DLC IS THE DEVIL

1.7 general? 1.7 general!

You're actually going to play this pile?

[url=#user_comment_121869]@Derpington[/url]: Good for you. Piss off if ya ain't gonna consider that some of us might not want anything spoilered. Get a feeling there's more to it than what you're saying, but even if there isn't, it'll be an interesting experience regardless.

Dunno if you're serious about the "C'ya next week", but it ya are, I can't blame ya.

This game's gonna be beautiful mate.

Hey! Lets see what kind o Mass Effect 3 comics will we get, yea?
Looking forward to it.

One week from now, you'll come crawling back to Team Fortress! I'll be waiting. A spot for my buddy to help push the cart and defend the intel...I know you'll come back Jo!

I don't mind that people pirate games, but why the heck are they announcing it in the comments for?

"I pirated this game." Good for you, want a gold star or something?

[url=#user_comment_121897]@Someone[/url]: Funny thing though is that the prices of games largely hasent changed, if anything the development I have seen is making them cheaper already. I remember having to pay 500-550 Danish Crowns for a brand new game, now I can get it as low as 400 with a bit of luck.

Oh great, it's like Skyrim all over again...
(Skyrim WAS awesome by the way)

Way to make yourself unpopular...

i hope h is kidding about the " cya next week"

Also Jo, love your comic. Please keep up the great work :)

[url=#user_comment_121895]@Someone[/url]: And yes, I realize the flaw in this idea: the amount of people who are moral enough to really pay if they can get away without paying is most likely low in this world. -.- But it's a nice idea I think nevertheless.

I, for one would much better like a payment style where I can play the game through for free, then give as much money for the developers as much I think they deserve for it. This way they would be "forced" to make better and better content.

[url=#user_comment_121889]@Dragon[/url]: the funny thing is, if the publisher (because no, it's not the developers who make the prices) would sell it for less, then more people would buy it. This is common sense. Especially if they sell it online without the physical media (dvds), it really should cost less by the material cost...

[url=#user_comment_121888]@Dragon[/url]: But really people who pirate games because they think it is too expensive are massive hypocrites. "I am gonna pirate this game because it is too expensive thus forcing the developer to increase the price due to loss of money, hue hue"

To all those Pirating ME3.

If you actually went out and bought games instead of pirating it and denying the creators rightful money perhaps they would not see the need of releasing costly DLC to make up for the losses you cause them. Think about that.

Yes I know there is more to it.

Hands up if you preorder your copy of ME3 N7 before Christmas with Game/Gamestation only find out that they weren't going to stock it.

Ended up getting it from Sainsburys ... guess that means the end to the dedicated games retailer in Britain.

@Sable Drakon:

It's almost like you're implying that the current form of DRM inconveniences anyone except the people that legitimately buy the game

BUT WE BOTH KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE

Got my copy bought it on release day, pretty much haters gonna hate.

Heres the ending: Your choices don't matter, you die regardless and the only effect your choice has on the ending is the colour of the energy explosion and who leaves the ship on the planet it crashs on regardless of any of your actions over the past 3 games.
Pirated, Played, Moved on.

Still need to finish ME1 but the side missions destroy any fun I could have with it. 3 different layouts for buildings...

@Sable Drakon: Sorry but that's nonsense. People who want to use illegal copies, will do so - no matter whether the publisher uses DRM or not. The only effect of DRM is to drive some people who would otherwise buy the game to download a cracked - working - copy instead.

You know, if you don't want games to have oppressive DRM, perhaps you shouldn't be stealing it. All the dumb cunts that do pirate it are doing nothing more than proving the publishers right and paving the way for even more draconian DRM. You are killing PC gaming by acting like entitled little kids.

So much hate. Come on, guys. Let them at least have their night.

now only if that banner said welcome back gordon freeman but it doesn;t so go go pirate bay

And people wonder why the monetization of games is increasing. IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU LET THEM DO THAT TO YOU, JO.

I meanwhile will be pirating the fuck out of this game.

If EA dont wanna add game in steam, they dont wanna my money. Thx, the pirate bay.

Consumer whore.

[url=#user_comment_121835]@Triv[/url] TAKE IT BACK! Star Wars Battlefront 3 will be out by Christmas :P

I have to wait for my next paycheck before getting it... might just cheat and dig into my savings account :3

Whats $75 for a collector's edition anyways?

@Gordan freeman: What happened to Lucas arts? well they made SWTOR so they arent gonna need a new game any time soon

@Worth the Weight
Huh? To boycott is to deny business to a company. If you pirate something, you're denying the maker your business. Sounds like they're doing it exactly right, other than the legal/illegal aspect.

I'd pay for an upgraded version of ME1. It's combat is poop.

it's origin, for fucks sake.
oh, that's an xbox controller. SAY WHAAAAAAAT?
inb4 jo screams bloody murder because ME3 is a shooter.
consoles < shooter

I gotta lol at people who claim to be boycotting the game and then pirate it. Way to make a statement bro, then again it's hard to take them seriously when they whine like entitled children.

I'll(regretfully) have to wait for a chance to play Mass Effect 3. I got midterms all this week, lucky me.

First Sluggy.com and now Nerf Now. How many niffty webcomics will you claim Mass Effect 3? How many is enough?

@gabe newell : Weren't you already doing that?

My body is ready.

>Buying mass effecr 3
I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

@gabe newell curse you villain!

@Gordan freeman - just for that im halting development time for episode 3 for two years and focusing the entire valve team to developing nothing but more micro transaction based items for TF2. im also calling my friend mr.lucas to make sure lucas arts only releases star wars kinect dance games.

The only threes i want to see are star wars battlefront 3 anf half-life episode 3. Might as well ask for other sequels such as a new jedi knight and timesplitters 4. What the hell happened to lucas arts? enough star wars branded god of war clones and non-building star wars lego games

Prepare for disappointment :)

Coughing-like sound is bioware who got some dirt stuck in her throat while she was licking EA's boots clean."

I would like to 'retweet' this

[url=#user_comment_121775]@Nat[/url]: I loved Darkstalker looks, but I'm not pumped to see it in 3d. Perhaps Capcom will surprise me?

I'm kind of disappointed with SF x T for being a game that had so much potential for being great turning out to decent but disappointing overall. Darkstalkers 4....here we go?

I wonder how Jo will react after beating the ME3..

Dont sweat it Jo
The boycot meant dont getting things at all, meaning not buying nor downloading it
And its everyones choice to join the boycot or not
F**k the badmouthed people

I enjoyed the last 2 games, I'd love to see how the story progresses. But I refuse to reach this level.

SFxTekken has 12 DLC characters on the disc already. It's shit like this that people need to boycott.

Atlus is bringing Gungnir and Growlanser to the PSP. I preordered both since I respect Atlus. I am not playing ME3, I am not pirating it.

@Eh?

I'd like to think that if the company did something right for once, instead of constantly milking its customers, more people would be willing to buy it.

@Mark Vincent N. Cocjin: You do realize if people like him didn't buy it, it wouldn't get made?

Prepare for disappointment.

PEW PEW

I hate all the self entitled assholes who are pirates. If you want to boycott a game, fine. But boycotting does not mean illegally downloading it instead of paying for it.

I don't know why everyone's on the Bioware/EA/ME3 hate train but I'm looking forward to playing the game

...on PC (if you know what I mean).

But seriously, don't hate on official versions. Stealing anything, even if it's a rip-off, is still probably not legal.

Jo--
Glad that you're going to have a good time with ME3, but... Well, friend of mine showed me the endings and holy crap, I don't want to have played/enjoyed the first two anymore.

It's Star Ocean 3 level bad.

Are you parents proud of you? Is this your first time paying for gay pornography?

Yous about to get trolled several times.

lol? since I dont recall this comic boycotting me3

Do you smell that?

That's the smell of tobacco (which they bought with your DLC money) being rolled in fresh, new 1000 dollar bills.
Oh, and the coughing-like sound is bioware who got some dirt stuck in her throat while she was licking EA's boots clean.

Son, I am dissapoint.
People like you make boycotting bad companies hard, which means that you DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THEIR WAY OF MARKETING. GJ, OH AND GUESS WHAT, I JUST SAW DARKSIDERS 2. IT HAS ALSO BEEN SPLIT INTO A FIRST DAY DLC, TO MILK THE COSTUMERS.
You make the gaming community look weak.

Wait a couple of days? It's already been leaked.
...Actually bout to go play it. Later.

Enjoy paying for something that has its best version found in Pirate Bay. Literally the best version since it has no restrictions and is far more convenient.

Fanservice on a whole new level.

why did you buy mass effect 3 could you not wait a couple of days to pirate it. you disappointed gamers everywhere buy giving corrupt company's your money joe

Let's hope it'll be good.

Enjoy your bad game.
