Took a while due to a bit of laziness, vacation, and getting enough hours into Shin Megami Tensei 4 to get a good review in (which you should totally read on Rotorob). But here's the second installment of Ask Greenman.

Mr. Snee was wondering while on the can

what's better: MAss Effect or KOTOR? and why?

I would definitely go with Kotor in this scenario. First off, the Kotor games lend themselves to replayability gameplay wise more. I defend ME for how its classes beg for replaying as I use very different tactics if I'm playing as a Vanguard, Sentinel, or any other class except Soldier (Fuck Soldier, why just shoot guys when you can set them on fire or throw them around with your mind?).

Kotor, meanwhile, doesn't just have differences in classes, but in other ways as well. Weapons, for instance, can play a crucial role as there are some playthroughs where I was sticking with blasters and rifles. Leveling also gives different outcomes as whether you can take hits well, are a glass cannon, or use traps/grenades/stimulants/Force powers dictates how you approach combat. And this is just Kotor 1 combat, don't even get me started on how 2's fighting stances changed everything.

Secondly, the Force is just plain better than tech and biotics. They're based on science fiction which as much as I love it because it helps Mass Effect seperate itself from Star Wars to be something really different, the mysticism with the Force is too good. Anyone who's played Kotor 2 knows a plot like that could never work in Mass Effect 

Don't forget lightsabers > no lightsabers

Which brings me to my last point, when Mass Effect tried to say something, they just turned Shepard into Space Jesus and we got that terrible ending. And as The Phantom Menace proved with making Anakin's mom a virgin, there is absolutely no way to make something good with Space Jesus. Kotor 2, as rushed as it was, still has what I consider to be the deepest video game plot ever constructed. I still have yet to play that game with the full restoration mod, but if it fixes my issues with that game's plot, Kotor 2 would replace 1 as my favorite game ever.

What's a Cow spent 4 days coming up with

I was simply wondering about that loan I owe you. Some people came around, and now my legs don't work. They're threatening to make my arms stop working next, but I need those for, ahem, stuff. Could you please give me an extension? I'll have the money by the end of the week I swear!

 Other than than that, what is your least favourite game of all time? The game that makes you want to punch a granny in the kidneys?

 Sincerely, Whatsacow.

 P.S. We should be together... if that would pay the loan. If not... eh, fuck it, you're pretty.

That last part isn't a question, but I will treat it as one. NO! I will not be with you. I am in a committed polygamous relatiohship where we refuse to let anyone without titties join. So unless you get some implants that make you look sexier instead of creepy, you can't get in.

And no, that will not pay off the loan. And I am already sending my hired goons over to collect you so we can earn our money through a better way. I know some scientists conducting an experiment by assigning Quick Time Events to random keys on a board that change every time. Each time you fail one of these, you get shocked with the intensity increasing each time. Maybe next time you'll think twice before borrowing.

As for the least favorite game, Crash Twinsanity. That's the Attack of the Clones of video games to me, took something I love and raped it, ruining my childhood. You know how in Bethesda games, you kind of jump in odd places to move up cliffs? That's the best way to sum up how half the jumps felt in that game. Some day I'll tear that game apart.

Crash believes this is Coco. Let me repeat that: CRASH ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS IS COCO!

Alex C-25 was curious about

Is it true that Jimmy Hoffa is buried under your house?

The only people buried under my house are a bunch of Native Americans who have been there for hundred of years and whose corpses I built my house on and a good portion of the Assassin's Creed 3 development team. So unless he's one of those guys, no.

Joe Step is searching for the truth about

Favorite Pokemon and/or can you describe your first experience with the series?

Favorite Pokemon is Dragonite. Love how he's one of the friendliest looking guys in the game, yet a complete monster in battle. First experience: Turned it on, picked Bulbasaur, yada yada yada, my mom yelled at me for playing too much.

Don't fuck with the Dragonite bubba

Captain N has been puzzled about

If you worked for Bioware, what game would you make and why? And to make this interesting, be it remake, sequel, and/or new idea. Anwser all or 1.

First off, I'd rather not be involved as half the fun of Bioware games are seeing how my choices impact and as much as I love their games, I would not want to be involved in making something like this. Yet I can't leave this unanswered, so I will turn this into, if I could pick on what they work on. So for remake, I am going to assume they can remake any game, not just their own, and pick Fallout. I would love to see their take on the Fallout universe in a more concise, character driven story. 

Sequel would just be Kotor 3, though if they made a Mass Effect take place 1000 years later and the only living people who knew Shepard are Liara and Grunt, I wouldn't say no to that either. New idea, well, this may sound weird but I'd go with Avatar: The Last Airbender. I love that universe, bending would give great powers which would be interesting both for combat and leveling up. They could even have specializations like lightning, blood, and metal bending. Not to mentiont there's thousands of years unaccounted for, so I'm sure they could do a Kotor style thing with it, or even go into the future 

This should be all the convincing you need that Avatar needs a great video game.
