/sci/ - Science & Math

we dont
maybe you do...

>>4667646
Nope, as long as it has a decent story at least.

Because it is fiction and not science. Fiction belongs to /lit/, /tv/, /b/ or anywhere else. We discuss facts and actual theories here.

because science fiction isnt science

u wot m8

>>4667646
Take for example Mass effect. I loved 1 and 2, and is currently playing 3. It's great.

>>>/x/

Because the promises of the imagination will probably never be realized in the real world.

>>4667664
Damn right. /x/ is another board where ficition can be posted instead of /sci/.

>>4667660

Just stop playing when the time comes to retake earth.
You will be curious about the ending.
It isn't worth it.

At any rate, Mass Effect runs off its own physics that the real world can't really equate to. We don't have "element zero" to fuck with the conservation of mass and gravity.

No u

>>2deep4u
fuck off, you havent even seen it yet
finish the game (because you're obviously going to)
and then come back here, and try to explain to me why it isnt shit

>>4667680
Proof that you're not the real EK. Why should the real EK play shitty vidya games?

>>4667677

No. Mass Effect 3's ending is not deep. It is literally the worst type of pseudo meta want-to-be philosophically deep but am just being pretentious "deep".

These are the official ending notes as scribbled by Mac Walters, lead writer of the Mass Effect series.

Note the last line: "Lots of speculation from everyone!"

THAT IS NOT FUCKING STORYTELLING. THAT IS BEING VAGUE BECAUSE YOU LOST YOUR OWN PLOT THREAD AND CAN'T CONCLUDE A SERIES.

Thankfully, unlike Microsoft, Bioware actually lets dead series die.

They've been thinking of returning to Jade Empire and still have Dragon Age 3 to forge, if they do decide to return to Mass Effect's universe for whatever reason, it will be a long while and create a new story, probably not about Shepard and the Reapers.

>EK identifies with the whiner side of /v/idya

>>4667683
the game is actually really good, i just disliked the ending.
and what gave you the impression i wasnt into vidya?

>>4667741
You have no time for vidya. You're needed on /sci/. And women don't play vidya anyway.

>>4667669
>>At any rate, Mass Effect runs off its own physics that the real world can't really equate to. We don't have "element zero" to fuck with the conservation of mass and gravity.
That we know of yet. Don't conclude that everything that seems unlikely is impossible. I'm sure that physicists from 1900 had no idea of quantum states and such.

>>4667741
What gave you the impression I thought you weren't into vidya?

>>4667747
>And women don't play vidya anyway.
yeh, we fucking do
do you still live in the 70's?

>>4667754
he said i 'cant be the real EK' because i'm into vidya

>>4667757
That's why I'm using a throwaway name, so my comment's wouldn't be confused with someone else's.

Science fiction is all fiction and no science.
Its just futuristic high fantasy, no basis on actual science or anything, they throw some "sciency" catchphrases and thats all.

>>4667775
Are you saying that sci-fi doesn't have a place in media?

>>4667775

bitch please

Becuase religion is also a type of fiction, which materialises what you need to believe. Sci-fi just changes the register of imagination with a sciency one, but the pith is the same as that of religion.
