What happened?
Oh, and this is the game that I most want in the future.

Just looked it up.
Cor, blimey!
Curious to see what the Reapers are using as foot soldiers this time around.
I thought the sniper hit a Geth.
There was a lot of smoke- probably made it hard to see on purpose.
I KNOW WHAT I SAW WOMAN!!!
Y'know, Mr. Monologue sounded a lot like Simon Pegg in that trailer. Maybe it's just because I've watched it forty times.
I Cried, after Elder Scrolls, this just made me cry.
I am excite
Swwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttt.
Finally watched it. Liked the trailer. Hopefully that's not the final battle, though. I'd prefer if they stayed away from such cliched areas.
Perhaps Earth gets taken out early in the game? That'd make for some interesting dialogues and interactions, being an endangered species.
It would definitely be interesting to see Earth just being completely f**ked at the start.
Be a nice twist on a rather cliched idea, too.
Or maybe the ending involves decided to save Earth and humanity, or sacrificing it for the greater good of the galaxy as a whole. That would be a great choice, I think.
Shit, well, if it comes to that, I would definitely sacrifice Humanity. "Needs of the few..." sorta philosophy is what I go by.
This and The Elder Scrolls V reveal just made me jizz my pants. Twice.
Skyrim and ME3... best. Day. EVER.
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

Sorry but thats how I feel.
I hope earth is not the only planet that gets attacked. I don't mind saving it while other races are trying to save their own planets, because earth being the only planet in the galaxy that gets attacked would be kinda lame.
Ah who am I kidding, it's Mass Effect. It will be awesome!
Oh and I almost forgot to post what I felt after seeing the trailer:
YES YES OH F**K YES!
...
YEEEAAAAHHHSSSSS!!!!!

Given how hard it was to kill just one damn Reaper in Mass Effect, they gotta have some serious deus ex machina bullshit to fix this.
Looks awesome, though. Can't wait to play it.
I'd say earth is probebly the beginning of the game,seeing as the reapers are most intrest or fear in Man(Human reaper)
Ive been also told by a friend who works in the game business that in ME3 you will get to recruit planets instead of a team to fight in the war,but you know,the guy could be wrong
The best be bringing Kal'Reegar (Adam Baldwin) back or shits gonna go down.
Anybody have a wishlist for voice actors?
OH OH OH SWEEPS I DO
Nathan Fillion.

Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes need to be in this game.

-James Callis (BioWare- do it. Just- just f**king do it.)
-Jennifer Carpenter

Random though: Could you imagine Alan Rickman's voice as a Reaper? :D
Having that shit booming and echoing across London would cause heads to turn toward the sky (as if they weren't already).
I made a thread based on this question on the BioWare forums, and people seemed to lean toward the idea of James Earl Jones doing the voice of a higher-up (if there is such rank) Reaper. That would just be amazing, if you ask me. They also brought up Christopher Lee and Michael Ironside. *Drulz*

You guys wanna' know something funny?
I hated Mass Effect. I just didn't like it. The story was compelling, but it was long and tedious. At least to me.
Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PS3, and I know I'll be getting that. I'm watching videos (not Darksydephil), and I actually find the game enjoyable. Lol. Garrus FTW!
Tark is the greatest Scottish rapper ever- why yall' be hatin'? :D
I Love the glint in the N7 logo at the end of the trailer!

I remember hearing the reason he wasn't a squadmate in me2 was cause he died for some people in me1.
So they didn't want to record a shitload of dialogue for a character not everyone would have.
Doesn't bode well for ME2s cast.

They are going to have to do that for ME2's characters for Mass Effect 3 though; since during the final mission, all of them were expendable. That is if they
do remain squad members in Mass Effect 3. But really, could you imagine how disappointing it would be if your favorite was excluded? There were a lot more members available in Mass Effect 2 than 1, but in 1, only two of them were capable of dying. Two of the original Mass Effect characters returned as full squadmates, but Wrex and Ashley/Kaidan remained as only cameos. That was fine (well, maybe not for Wrex..), but if they did that in Mass Effect 3 with all of the Mass Effect 2 characters- that would be such a disappointment.
Also, I heard that Kal'Reegar could die if you didn't get to Tali in time. Another character made expendable- thus possibly eliminating him from recruitment in ME3. f**k.

I think I've only seen him smile once.
I would probably laugh uncontrollably to see him during one one the sex scenes :D
My guy also looks perma-pissed.
Unfortunately, he also looks ridiculous. His cheeks are huge.
I love the guy.
Only thing I'd change is his eyes.
At times they look kinda...
droopy.

Yeah I read that a while back, EA is really stupid. It's the on reason why I hate multi-player in general, hardly anyone plays games anymore for the single player experience, most assholes just bitch about game because of a lack of multi-player, or because it sucks. I'm just grateful that this game will have a single player, after that, if they decide to just stick with multi-player, then I'll be done with it.
But there's this:

Oh ya, now Cock of Dookie is infecting my favorite franchise...
Thanks EA.
I doubt EA has anything to do with it. And I believe that BioWare probably has been developing this multiplayer for some time now, and it won't eclipse the single player experience.
If this happened, I foresaw people getting all teary eyed. Did the inclusion of multiplayer in Uncharted 2 make the campaign any less focused than the first one? Hell no. The single player of Mass Effect has always been the main focus of the franchise, because it's been the only mode available. The thought that a multiplayer mode will turn this one's single player sour is ridiculous.
"OH NO! Multiplayer?! This will be the death of Mass Effect!"
It could though because at the time uncharted was an exception. Though I am sure bioware can handle themselve they are the king of telling an epic and perfectly lengthed story.

If they've got a smaller team working on the single player portion, then it's gonna be hurt. However it's more likely they hired on more guys.

Bioware Is Currently Holding Job Ad´s For People To Work On The Multiplayer Side Of Things, while the original Bioware team for ME1 and ME2 are working on Single Player Mode.
Looks like that article about "no multi-player" has been updated to say that there might be multi-player after all.

Damn straight.
I don't get EA saying that multiplayer is the only way to get people to keep playing a game. The games I play the most by far are ones with only singleplayer.
Multi-player ruined playing co-op with my bro. I think that's where my hatred for multi-player lies. BUt yeah, I do not understand why EA is saying this kind of bs.
You know how many times I've played through ME? 6 at least, probably more. And the gameplay in the first isn't even that good, but the story is so interesting that it makes it worth it.
I'm on my sixth playthrough currently.

Really? Everyone I talked to like the ratio between action and rpg.
Yeah i completed Mass Effect like four or five times but that was mainly just so i could get a level 60 character and import it into my Mass Effect 2 game, but played through it again so i couldnt f**k up a relationship with Miranda in Mass Effect 3 because i shagged Ashley in ME1 lol ;) :D ;D
Which one of the two do most of you guys prefer? I am just wondering of what I have played I have always liked the second one more because it is less rpg and I have never really liked rpgs that much to many variables. But I have hardly anything to go on so I was just wondering.
When i first got my 360 Mass Effect came with it, i attempted to play it a few times and got bored of it,i was in the whole "COD 4" phase, but then one day i sat my ass down got past the first level, saw the utterly EPIC world of the Citadel, the story, the visuals, the absolute perfectionism of the voice acting and everything else got me attatched to the game. When i got a hold of the Normandy and i had finnaly created my perfect Shepard that didn´t look like an Ass then i was so happy, i think the last time i checked my save game on ME1 it was on about 32 hours.
Then Came The Grandaddy of...Mass effect 2. I´ll never forget the sheer epicness of getting this game the night before it came out, i was just back from a 3D screening of Avatar and i came home and watched some South Park and my brother said he was away out to go get some milk from the shop and he came back and told me to go get a beer from the fridge, i opened it up and saw my Mass Effect 2 copy sitting there, the feeling was great, unrapping that selophane cover was amaizing.
I Played through Mass Effect 2 about rougly 6 or 7 times to date, ive got every single achievement for the game (DLC included) I loved the Dark side of Mass Effect 2, the normandy getting blamod at the start was amaizing. Seeing Garrus back as a badass was truly BadAss!
The ending for me was just truly "Edge of your seat" for me, i spent ages getting every possible upgrade, every loyalty for my ship and crew, and when i saw Miranda and Garrus laying on the ground after defeating the Human Reaper and they weren´t moving i was litterly like "COME ON!!" "GET UP""!!. and when i told the Illusive man to go f**k himself and blew up the collector base and barely escaping that HUGE explosion, i was littelrly in awe´
The sheer amount of detail and passion in this series makes me marvel at the true quality that gaming has come from since the days of "Monkey Island" or "DOOM".
Never Before have i felt so emotionally attatched to my character or characters found in any video game EVER!
Im trying not to sound like a complete gaming geek or fanboy, i have a girlfriend, a job, and im still doing my Highers in school, but those games were really really amaizing.

The gunplay is boring, there is no feeling to it. And the inventory management is clunky as hell, having to keep reducing shit to omnigel is an effort in patience.
ME2 fixed all this, but it also blew some of the things ME1 did better. I detest the load screens, if I have to wait for something to load, at least let me stay immersed in the world.

Personally, I prefer the first game. I find the story to be much better (although the second's is still great), and I just found myself much more immersed in the universe that they had created.
I'm on my 5th playthrough of Mass Effect 1 right now (finally trying out new classes on new Shepards instead of concentrating on my single one), and I'm given a new appreciation for the gameplay improvements in Mass Effect 2. This almost seems painful, gameplay wise, but it's worth it for the story development.

So much this.
f**k YEAH!!!!!!! I'm so f**king ready for ME3! I was so pumped after the ending of ME2. It had a freakin epic ending.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so pumped.
And it's only a year away too. I was expecting a 2012 release date. I hope they don't pull a Gears 3 (D-bags) and push it back for MONEY.
The wait is killing me guys. It seriously is. I need this game.
Mass Effect is like my crack right now.
Hell i just have two fricken achievements left on ME 2.
I'm expecting it to get pushed back. Nearly every big game does.
If it does, I won't cry about it. A January 2012 release wouldn't be so bad (assuming that would be the target as it was with ME2).

I Love The Music When We See The N7 Logo Glint and the Mass Effect 1 Music slightly kicks in...Just Amping To The Motherf**king MAX!
I Swear If Garrus Isn't avaiable as a team mate, i honestly wont enjoy the game as much, my Entire Team survived ME2 and ill be f**ked if they can't join me in the next game.
I just hope at least we see everyone that lived in ME 2 and ME 1 in this also a BIGGER impact.

That's only a small drop in the bucket of choices you make in ME 1, at least i found that ME 2 at least brought up the majority of them even the minor ones i made.
Like letting that asari girl live on feros, found her on illium and she was fricken girl again, made me laugh my head off. :D
Now i can understand that big choices having a impact i want them to, by far. I still want to see some of the small choices again though. 8)
But yes, i want more of my choices brought up in both games, and a bigger impact for the huge ones.

Gawdsbless you, Huol. I think she looks more like Yvonne with the default suit though- contrast between the white and the blonde hair seems to fit better.
PC players have all the fun, I've seen mods for female Shepards where you can wear Miranda's outfit. Makes playing the game much easier when you are watching that ass all the time...

Good work! :D
lol at the guy dying and falling off the bridge.
Ok guys I was playing Me 2 again and tali's missions got me thinking about that young yet "dieing star" of heastrum (or however you spell that planet)
Anyways the data says the star is far too young and yet its collasping like a gaint would, now this got me thinking about ME 3.
They said the cause of it was from dark energy (dark energy is also the energy of mass effect fields) and they don't know how its affecting the star but eversince the reapers are in darkspace meaning if they were to travle even at ftl without a relay it would take them way too long to get into the galaxy. So in me 3 they would have to show up in the near future right?
So i started thinking what if that star was a reaper fall back plan into making some type of well heck i don't know worm hole?
Again this is just my mind spining but I just can't shake the thought, what do you guys think on this?
It's definitely coming back in some way. I'm interested to see what they do with it.
in preperation for mass effect 3
imported Paragon male sheperd Sentinal with all upgrades and side missions and DLC
imported Renegade Male sheperd Vanguard with all upgrades and side missions and DLC
imported Paragon Female sheperd Scout with all upgrades and side missions and DLC

For Tali fans, that I just happen to come across this photo.
Every time I see that picture, I just know that it won't be as good as that if they ever do show it.
I love Tali, but I hope she's never unmasked. It can only go one of two ways, regardless:
Spoiler

I never like the Tali fanart. I always find it's either too human (as with Ghoul's example), or too alien. Nothing is satisfactory, it seems.
Well Tali is going to look rather human like; anyways in mass effect 2 a lot of screen shots show the outline of her face, if you have a quick eye you can notice them through out the game specially during her loyality mission.
So she has a very human like nose, chin and cheek bones. While you don't see any color or details you do see the out of her face structure specialy when she turns away from the camera.
Also they made a low detail image of her face inside the helmet on the computer you can alter the camera to zoom in on her helmet so close that you can see the face its self.
also in ME 1 i can practically see her face.
She does have rather human like features, sorry to break it to you spacemarines.
She's very human like, the most they can really change would be the skin color and eye shape.
Also I think bioware made her helmet semi transparent to give people little teases to what she does look like. I wouldn't be surprised they had the face made for a while now.
All we know for sure is that they have eyes, a nose-like protuberance, and that they apparently don't have ears in the way we do.
That picture you posted looks like a female version of the Illusive Man. Not alien enough; needs to be more creative.
I prefer not knowing, though. Like the Space Jockeys.

There are Quarian skeletons scattered throughout one of the DLC levels in Mass Effect 2 I think - and the skull is identical to a human's.

Don't remember seeing human skeletons anywhere else in the game. Could be wrong.

No, on using that skeleton in the map. Frankly, I don't care if it's been reused. Plenty of games do that.
Quote from: Sharp Sticks on Jan 11, 2011, 02:54:07 AM

Me neither. Besides, they bothered to bend the Quarian skeleton's legs backwards (look closely). Surely they would do something with the skull too if it was inhuman in appearance?
Okay, I could be wrong. But if that's the Quarian skeleton and facial structure, I am very disappointed in BioWare.
I couldn't care less I enjoy the games far to much to have small things bug me, plus I liked all of the romance options in both games so far.
I wonder if the 3rd one will have new ones.
Apparently Tali looks like an alien sheva.
Ive read somewhere that instead of recruiting a team you will be recruiting Planets to fight along side you,but i hope they keep some team element in it which they probebly will
That would be tough to get planets to fight with you if you killed the council and acted like a total ass. lol.

Not unless they have a reaper death star somewhere.
Reapers are Death Stars.
Na reapers are gaint AI squids. They kill life on planets yes but they don't have enough fire power to out right destroy one, which you will need to kill a sentient planet.
well wait they might. :-\
f**king squids.
Where in the codex does it say that they couldn't crack a planet open like a bad egg? I wouldn't underestimate those punks.
True but what would the point be in completely destroying a planet? after all they must continue the cycle!

If it's sentient.
Not saying they would, just that they probably could. I've always thought of the Reapers as overly ambitious Death Stars - not much to refute that claim. But they'll always need footsoldiers.
I think it would of been awsome to see that

They kill life on planets yes but they don't have enough fire power to out right destroy one,
really? man the Inhibitors could kick their ASSES! they built an INTERSTELLAR GUN out of a GAS GIANT once!
Yeah but they also made the mass relays that can cross thousands of lightyears in a heart beat. lol.
.... the revelation space universe does not allow for faster than light transit.... :(
by a normal means but they use dark energy, which can blink in and out of existance which can allow one to show up anywhere in the galaxy in a heart beat.
believe it or not but before they made the first game bioware sat down and thought this through with a number of scienctist if you watched the documentaries you'd know about it lol. XD
does any of the mass effect 2 DLC like shadowbroker go into mass effect 3 as my characters canon?

All DLC Like "Lair Of The Shadowbroker" Acts as the setting between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 so yes it is Canon and Yes it will be carried into Mass Effect 3 ;)

I just hope it makes a bigger impact unlike ME 1's dlc.
I thought bring down the sky would of had a nice meeting with some one or somthing; not just a stupid news update in the game.
I just started with the first ME - I have some catching up before this comes out.

Oh, how I'd love to experience Virmire for the first time again...
I was biting my nails on Virmire...ah, the memories.
Too true to both Sharp Sticks and Space Marines.
The Ending To Mass Effect 1 was epic
Spoiler
When You had to choose to save the Council or let them die was quite a decision xP
Spoiler
Yeah, but it was a shame about that terrible final boss fight. Saren turns out to be a glorified version of the game's most annoying enemy.
I let them die. There was no time to save them (in my mind) and the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many. That helps a lot in my decisions.
Depends if I'm Asshole-Shepard or Nice Guy-Shepard, for me.

Makes me wish we all had the ability to shut off certain memories so that we can experience them again.

I plan on making sure they survive right until the end of the story, just to hear what the Turian Councillor has to say about the 'ah yes, Reapers' once I've saved the galaxy from their rampage of destruction.
Ha. Ha.
Ha.
Exactly. When dealing with insufferably ignorant, obnoxious and/or arrogant characters, the real pleasure is not in letting them die but instead in making them face their mistakes without being able to deny it.
Shatter their f**king reality.
Ima look for my copy and play this for the first time.
Fitz you will like the games i think.
Now on the councilor things; i found out if i let them die, aliens are racist against humans a lot more and that tends to bring out my racist personality so i'm calling pretty much every alien besides the ones on my team racist jokes (you should see the turian racist i find on thanes loyalty mission) and foaming from the mouth when i play. Its pretty fun when i need to let off rage but i mean, c'mon when my bro has friends over its not good to hear things like that too often XD.
So i normally save them to be nice. However i got a big kick when killing them
Spoiler
they ask for help and joker and the fleet just turn off there comms. XD Felt good to blast that racist concil away
I felt bad for doing it, but it had to be done dammit! No time!

Except your decision to save the council doesn't cause any more noticeable casualties then if you let them die. Hopefully ME3 will improve this.
Oh, I knew that after the fact.

Oh god.. my feelings are
so mixed on this. Jack Wall, for me, is
Mass Effect, and it'll be an awkward change in the final chapter to lose him. Don't get me wrong, I think Clint Mansell is fantastic, and his work on
Moon was simply exemplary, but I'm really going to miss the Jack Wall vibe. But really, if anybody is going to replace him, I'm happy it's Mansell. I'm sure the feeling will be mutual with Marines.
I feel the same way. I guess as long as the ME theme is used and the score overall retains the epic sci-fi feel of the last two, I'm good.
For those who are not familiar with Clint Mansell:

Yep, pretty much summed up my feelings.
Moon is one of my favourite film scores, but ME 1 and 2 are some of my favourite for video games.
:) :( :-\
Clint Mansell. Fantastic.
That said, I hope they don't abolish Jack Wall's main themes.

D'aw... but why during the finale of all times?
They'd better bring back familiar themes, and keep the same feel. Similar to how Hans Zimmer replaced Harry Gregson-Williams in the transition between Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, this seems. Though both were great, HGW had never really established one certain theme for Modern Warfare whereas Hans Zimmer now has. They both sounded alike in instruments used, and I hope that's the case here. Problem being, themes have already been established-- let's hope BioWare keeps the fan's interests in mind while advising Mansell (though I am sure he is to study Wall's past work).
I think it's best to just keep the themes that we've heard in ME1 and ME2, because in ME2 there was definitely some new scores in there, along with the themes from ME1, so if it's like that for ME3, then I think we'll all be happy.
Definitely.
I just don't want Mansell to deviate too much from what has already been established.
Some important scenes is where he should definitely make it his own.
At the very least, I'm sure Shepard will have uploaded all of Wall's themes to his bedside clock in time for ME3.

I wouldn't say "hot" at all. The emotion is the real draw of the picture. Of course she maintains that look of beauty (provided by none other than Yvonne Strahovski), but she appears broken and defeated here. Out of all of the pictures, this reflects a time difference between Mass Effect 2 & 3 the most, which looks like a major transformation of a character [we] once knew as "the overly-confident Cerberus cheerleader". After her resignation from Cerberus, anything could have happened- that anything could be the content of that picture.
Unfortunately, the picture isn't official and doesn't hold any impact on the real narrative. Certainly inspiring... I've been inspired to write fan fiction only a handful of times, but this one is
burning. This picture contains potential for a story that must be told.

I'm sorry but the sheer display of emotion is hot to me, but I see where you're getting at.

Where the f**k is my money?! Oh, that's right, APRIL, or should I just wait for this DLC to be out in order for me to buy them all at once? I think I'll wait.
Release it now!
I wish I could have DLC.

New DLC "Arrival" Cleverly Announced (http://gamerant.com/mass-effect-2-ps3-arrival-dlc-trung-68896/)
Signs point to this possibly being a bridging (between Mass Effect 2 and 3) piece of DLC in an even greater way than Lair of the Shadow Broker was.
I shall begin preparations...

What he did with Miranda in that picture is similar to what I've tried to do with Juliana Emerson since day one (and recently).

It's going to be the last part
of Shepard's story.
That kind of makes me sad, that Shepard's story will end.. She's the kind of character I could enjoy taking on a ridiculous number of installments. Mass Effect 4: Cleanup Duty, Mass Effect 5: So What Now?, Mass Effect 6: Sexyfunorgyspacetimes Just Like Fox Promised.
Unless it was a Tali spinoff. Nyurmhurmhurmnurmhurm.

Get it man, Mass Effect 2 is also a stand a alone you really don't need the first game.
However if you had the first game you could import all of your info to the second one.
What if you don't have either because you don't want to get the second one on PS3 when the next one comes out in a year?
Hypothetically, of course.

The second one on the ps3 has all of the important parts of the first game in the prologue.
So its kinda both games combined I guess... I don't know for sure because I have it for the 360 but I'm sure bioware wouldn't screw you over.

Mass Effect isn't like that. There'd be little to no point jumping in at Mass Effect 3, same goes with 2. It's not like Call of Duty or Battlefield where the main draw in multiplayer (for most people, at least) and you wait for the newest installment because it simply has more. Mass Effect has always been about the story, and it's all single player. Holding out for 3 is pointless, really, seeing as it's purpose is a direct continuation of the story from the first 2 games.
To be completely honest, I thought Mass Effect 2 felt more like Mass Effect 1.5. Don't know why. I think it's because I thought the Reapers would attack in #2 and then they didn't.
I'm happy they didn't, I thought Mass Effect 2 was brilliantly paced.
Oh, I loved every bit of ME2, one of my favorite games. But its just at the end of #1 we see the Reapers descending onto the universe. And I was like " yeahhhhhh, come get sommmmee!" But that didn't happen.

Nope, the reaper fleet is only in ME 2.
The last lines in ME1 are how they're going to resist the Reapers by any means necessary, but it never felt like we were launching into a direct conflict - rather, that the next game would focus on Shepard learning about the Reapers and finding a way of stopping them. Which is more or less what happened.
But they've arrived as of ME3. Fingers crossed that we get to use a Mass Relay as a giant gun to blow Harbringer's balls off.

Damnit. Us talking about kicking some Reaper ass kinda makes me want some Co-Op. I think it would be epic. Me, Space, Sticks and Ghoul. Yeah, that would be sweet.
As long as the story is great and unaffacted, I would like a "good" multi player option.
I'd find it pretty fun really.
However the only condition is they can't mess up the story with it. peroid or else I'd be so pissed off it will make Eric Cartman look tame.

- A moment for Shepard to reflect on who she actually is post-resurrection, and examine the similarities between her degrading cybernetic state and Saren's.
- Lesbian Talimance.
- Bring back the Hanar.
- Lesbian Talimance.
- I want to finally give Emily Wong that exclusive interview.

Is there any reason why you choose to play as a female?
Because I can't handle the male voice. I'm physically incapable of playing as that droopy-eyed heartless skinhead.
Also, Jennifer Hale's voice is the earthly incarnation of Athena.

The femme fatales, man... cooler than the action heroes. (Even though my main Shepard is the default male look, but that's mainly for the pure intended continuity... and I like seeing
my Shepard in the trailers)

Male Shepard is agonizingly uncharismatic. His voice has less modulation than a decrypted automatic distress VI.

Maybe those things around the mass relay are reapers. And that number on the screen might make sense if I'm right because of how things looked at the very end of ME2... ::)

I never thought they'd be able to reveal what he looks like and do him justice, but goddamn, that is almost perfect with what my vague mental image of him was.

Lance's voice makes me want to curl up next to the fire with a mug of hot chocolate - and then choke on it. He's like Grandpa from Hell.

f**k YEA.
Hopefully she'll be naked throughout, like she was in ME2.
I would really like to see more female aliens in the game, I am really curious to what they look like
I'm betting we'll be seeing some female Turians in this one. Though I am quite happy with Asari and Quarians.
I've got no real wish to see female Turians or Salarians - yechk.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up in ME3, as Sweeps says.

TIME TO RETCON UP IN THIS BITCH.
The heat clip system in Mass Effect 2 is a result of Shepard having a different recollection of how guns work in the past because Cerberus altered his mind so would think that guns work better when you put heating clips inside them and heating clips will make him better at fighting the Collectors, also, heating clips probably come from the Collectors because when they drop their Collector guns their are heating clips inside them that you can pick up to power your own guns and also power cells work with the particle beam so really it's just logical.
CANON
Turians rule! but I'd like a much bigger universe. Including more npc interaction.
What I'm hoping for, as I think I've said before, is more RPG elements than in the second game. I hope that they find a happy medium between the first's and second's two extremes of item management, bring back uncharted worlds, and make it so that there is more than one possible outcome to the side missions. Those things really dipped in quality from the first game; sure, the maps themselves were each unique and different (which was a huge positive), but the actions you could take within them were simplified to the point that there was only one outcome to each assignment and little-to-no dialogue.
What I want to see is Tali's face. Everything else is expendable.
That's something I don't want, actually. I think it'll either wind up being too human or too alien. Nothing will ever be able to compare to the vague suggestions of a face, hidden beneath a glass visor.
Hopefully something like this...

Just recently finished.
A bit underwhelming as the real finale to Mass Effect 2, but the content's ending was great.
Spoiler
Talking the Hackett in person was awesome, but what I liked most was the imagery of the system being destroyed as Shepard looks at the Galaxy Map. I also noticed that at the end, when you speak to Harbinger, you are talking to him through the Collector "leader" if you haven't finished the main story, and his true form if you have.
Considering this and Lair of the Shadow Broker as the true epilogue missions (leading up to and effecting Mass Effect 3), I'll still take Lair of the Shadow Broker as Mass Effect 2's ending. I played this in a way that was effective-- finish Lair of the Shadow Broker, finish The Arrival, and then have the talk with Liara in the cabin as the final scene. Seemed to add a lot more to the dialoge's meaning that way.
Coolest bit for me (watching it all on YouTube) was when you assume control of the little combat drone guy.
Assuming control? Of this form? Anyone? No? Sort of?

Kinda underwhelmed, as I was expecting this to explain how they get to the galaxy. Being DLC, I guess I should have expected as much. Liked talking to Harbinger again, gets you pumped.
Stopping the Reapers and killing 300,000 Batarians? Win-win.
Wonder how that is gonna affect ME3.

No, no-- like,
brink of open war tension.
Yeah, though I figure they'll forget that pretty fast once the cephalopods start falling out of the sky and lasering their soapboxes. That, or they'll try to join forces with the Reapers to wipe out humanity.
Dumbass batarians.
I find it pretty funny that they were trying to prevent something similar to what they were trying to cause in Bringing Down The Sky.
I Would Say This DLC Payed off extremely well considering the price it was, I quite liked how everything was solo and stealthy, brought me back to the days of playing Metal Gear Solid, But i finally got the achievement for surviving the five waves of enemies at the reaper artifact and goddamnit it was quite hard, Also thought the video convo in Shepards cabin was quite cool, one downfall however,
Spoiler
I never got to share the awesome moment of killing 300000 batarians with Garrus ;( *Sniff*
Spoiler
Who doesn't jump at the chance to wipe out 300,000 batarians?
................what if.... we got a ... Batarian team mate......
Maybe he'd use a lot of ellipses.

I agree, I want to go to Mexico and have a showdown with Harbinger.
*Squints eyes*
*Half closes optic shutter*
Seems like a bit of a one-sided showdown. If Shepard draws, she has a gun in her hand; if Harbinger draws, he slaps a tectonic plate ass-backwards.
I'd rather catapult national landmarks into the Reapers. Let Harbinger limp away with the Eiffel Tower and the Pyramids of Gisa plunged a few miles into his damn lobster craw.
Good idea. Catch him while he's sweet talking Liberty.
That one won't be as pointy an option. Damn you, Hock!

Some news about this game
QuoteAs promised, the first Mass Effect 3 details have arrived in US retailer mag Game Informer.
According to the mag, BioWare's third and final sci-fi instalment kicks off with Shepard on Earth, facing trial for the events that occurred during the recently released Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2.
In the middle of the trial, the Reapers invade, and it all kicks off. Mass Effect 3's prologue involves Shepard's escape to the Normandy, and subsequent mission to yet again gather allies to battle the Reaper troops.
Confirmed squadmates from the GI article include Liara, Ashley/Kaiden, Garrus (if he's alive) and a man called James Sanders, who we're not familiar with. Wrex, Mordin, Legion, and Anderson will also appear in the game (if they're alive), but aren't confirmed as squadmates.
Mass Effect 3's set to include numerous endings, BioWare's confirmed, and just like the last game who you have in your squad and which allies you recruit will have a drastic effect on which ending you get.
The Illusive Man also plays a prominent role in the third game, and Cerberus is out to kill Shepard for reasons unknown, says GI.
In the gameplay department, RPG elements are being beefed up for the third game, says BioWare, offering players more freedom with character skills. Skill trees are said to be larger, and powers will evolve several times instead of just once, offering players even more freedom.
Weapons are similar to those in Mass Effect 2, except mods make a return, allowing you to swap out different parts such as barrels, scopes, and so on, which effect both the weapon's combat performance and appearance.
All classes can wield all weapons unhindered now, but will have limited slots to carry them. For example, only the Soldier can carry all weapons at once.
Finally, for those who've missed out on the series so far (shame on you) GI says Mass Effect 3 will feature a "previously on Mass Effect" comic to make decisions from scratch.
Good stuff. EA says to expect Mass Effect 3 this year. We'll hopefully have more for you soon.

Totally agree with this,Legion was always in my squad once i got him
every single playthrough.
I told the quarians to make peace with the geth so hopefully i'll be able to get a geth army in this.
Also I can't wait to see what the Rachni are going to do.
Lemme guess, everyone who could have died in ME2 (except Garrus) will get ME2-Wrex type roles in ME3.
Making the whole suicide mission thing pretty pointless.

I hope not, because if that's true, then it's as I feared. However having Garrus available makes me cautiously optimistic.
I wonder what it will be like if all your squad members survived the suicide mission, because if everyone returns you will start off with one giant team.
Unless bioware go down the repetitive route and make us recruit them all again.

Your assuming just because GI can't confirm that Wrex is a squadmate means he probably isn't. Bioware isn't going to reveal them all right away.
I have more issues with Cerberus's role. Why would Cerberus spend all that time and money to bring Shepard back just to want to kill him
while the Reapers are invading. You know, the exact reason why they brought him back in the first place. Even if it's because he didn't save the base and stole the Normandy, I would think the future of humanity and the galaxy would take precedence over petty squabbles with Shepard.

I wouldn't say that was an issue for me, but more of an interest. There has
got to be some purpose for it. I'm kind of wondering how that will end up effecting relations with Miranda and Jacob (in the event that they survived and Miranda hadn't resigned from Cerberus). If Miranda
has resigned, I have a feeling she may remain the Normandy's XO, but if she hadn't... she and Jacob might pose an issue.
But I dream.
As long as there is a good reason that makes sense, I won't mind.
But if it turns out TIM is indoctrinated...

You must be an easy sell, then.
ME's story is already boxed into a corner where they're going to be forced to downgrade the Reapers or pull an ULTIMATE CLEVER MONKEY TRICK Deus Ex Machina to win. Anything else is financial suicide for the company at this point.
Luckily I have no expectations, having learned from epic fails like Matrix, Metal Gear, and Halo along with decades of Marvel comics fail that is quite rare for an auteur to remain sharp for multiple installments. I expect cool fights, some kick ass music and the return of Bro*Force to HOLY SHIT ULTRA MAXIMUM FULL POWER for at least one section of the game. Anything else not sucking under the weight of Mary Sue pandering, overused 80s scifi cliches, and EAs completely idiotic content schedule is simply dessert.
The new Rachni Praetorian is a boss, yo.
I couldn't stand 2's story.
Felt so small.
Seems they lost their eye on the PRAAAHZZZZZZ. (funny I'm posting that here, because I've oft remarked elsewhere that Jacob is gigerian nightmare of abs and teeth)
That's the trouble with second acts. Empire did it right because midway through the first act the Empire put its foot firmly up the Rebellion's ass. The collector extension for the Reapers is literally a sidestory.... not only that, but they could have kept collector assets as ground troops for the third installment while demonstrating unilaterally that Reapers will f**k up your shit and doesn't afraid of anything. Many lost opportunities, all for an underwhelming SHOCKING PLOT development that wasn't all that shocking and eventually turned into a T2 boss fight. Hopefully they've taken notes and kept things more frantic, darker and actually based on BIG DECISIONS (TM) that actually count this time.

Thresher Maw's got balls.
It get's the upper hand for a bit, though? That's just stupid.
As in he grabs on to a Reaper's leg and jerks it for a second. If it's big enough that makes sense, Threshers are enormous. Once the Reaper gets its finger-cannon charged the Thresher will be overcooked calamari, but I'd love to see a vignette like that.

From Gameinformer...
GI: Was the fact that Harbinger is a Reaper supposed to be a surprise at the end of ME2? It was presented like a reveal, but players (and Shepard) would have to be pretty dense to not have it figured out.
Walters: No, it wasn't meant to be a surprise, but it was important that we make the connection clearly at the end of the game. The goal was to reveal just how close the Reapers were to returning to our Galaxy, and to foreshadow the fate of humanity if Shepard failed to stop them.
On the original cover of Mass Effect: Revelation, both of Saren's arms appear normal. However, in the first game, one of them is clearly made from Geth/Reaper technology. Did this aspect of his design change during development?
Good eye! It is common for most of our characters, especially those as important as Saren, to go through many revisions throughout the course of the game. And it's not just the visual concept – the voice, background, and even the gender of our characters can change (Saren got off lucky with just an arm change!). However, in this case, the difference is because we're seeing Saren before he was indoctrinated and working with Sovereign (the time period for Revelation was about 18 years prior to the events of Mass Effect).
Why do most of the Reapers we've seen so far have similar insect-like appearances? The human Reaper looked different, but otherwise it seems like the Reapers mainly build themselves out of bugs. Is that correct?
The exterior of the Reapers does follow a similar pattern, an efficient design for the purpose they were created for. However each Reaper is created from a unique species, and as we saw at the end of Mass Effect 2, the core of each Reaper is designed in the likeness of that species.
In ME 2, Conrad Verner seems to the think that Shepard held a gun to his face, even if players chose the paragon option in ME 1. Was this just a glitch, or is there some story reason behind this?
Well, it may have been a glitch, or maybe Conrad was just having an off day (even more off than usual). Stay tuned in Mass Effect 3 to see how Verner deals with this embarrassing misstep with Shepard.
Where is the Illusive Man physically located during the course of Mass Effect 2? What's going on with that colorful cosmic display outside his window?
The colorful cosmic display is a clue to the location of the Illusive Man, which I can't reveal. Not yet.
Some Asari have eyebrows. Some don't. Are they born with or without? Or does it vary based on the individual?
Actually, they aren't eyebrows at all. They are unique color patterns that vary for every Asari. We, being humans, naturally associate those particular markings with eyebrows, but the Asari don't think of them in that way at all.
Legion couldn't fully answer Shepard's question about the reason it chose Shepard's armor to repair itself. Can you give us any insight?
Legion is a complex organism. And like many of us evolved organics, he is not always certain about why he does the things he does. But I think it's safe to assume that Legion saw in Shepard a sort of kindred spirit. Legion is unique among his kind, as is Shepard, and he no doubt inferred a sort of bond with this unique human individual. And... there was a hole.
Some fans were disappointed by Liara's apparent lack of enthusiasm when re-encountering Shepard in ME 2, especially given the lengths she went to in the Redemption comic. From a story perspective, is there an explanation for why she isn't happier to see the Commander?
Liara was happy to see Shepard. But she was confused about his return from the brink of death and his role with Cerberus. Add to that, she was dealing with the loss of Feron, and maybe struggling with her feelings for the roguish Drell who had sacrificed himself for her. Of course, as we saw in The Lair of the Shadow Broker, once that situation was put to rights, her feelings for Shepard were once again made clear.
Some fans have speculated that Aethyta (the Asari Matriarch behind the bar at Eternity) is Liara's "father." Is there any truth to that? Will we find out more on that topic in Mass Effect 3?
The writers are keenly aware of the speculation and there are indeed discussions about how this plot line will resolve in Mass Effect 3. And that's all I can say about that.
Do Reapers have individual personalities?
That's right up there with "Do Reapers have a soul?" or "Are they truly alive"? All great questions, but all questions that we are waiting to answer in Mass Effect 3.

They work off of community feedback- love and hate. The f**k are you talking about.
No, they don't; BSN is ONE spectrum in a large web of usability feedback and staffers have twittered exactly that. Secondly, I have regular chats with two staffers. The one who doesn't know that the f**k they're talking about is you.
Third, the only character CONFIRMED BY STAFF to be an SNPC throughout most of the game is Garrus, fullstop. Whether or not the rest will be available as SNPCs or not and if so, for what duration is not public purview, and after the complete spoiling of ME2's story ahead of time, information dissemination will be different this time.
Public relations != development logistics.
QuotePosting on the official BioWare forums, the game's exec producer Casey Hudson said: "Today we have confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012."
He went on: "The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone's expectations." Put simply (best said in a Arnold Schwarzenegger voice), THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME.
GET TO THE CHOPPE... too much? Okay, we'll shut up.

Seen it coming
Thank god this happened in a way cause now i can play Skyrim without trying to play this as well.
As expected, I am both sad that I have to wait longer, but happy that it will have more time to be polished. And with UC3, GOW3, Batman: AC, and Rage all coming out this fall, this is probably for the best.
Not too upset that it's delayed. I waited two years for the second; I can wait two years for the third.
2011 is clusterf**ked with awesome games anyway. My wallet is fine with this delay. ;D
I just hope it's early 2012 like Mass Effect 2 was. :'(
Kind of sad, but kind of happy. Now nothing shall stand in the way of my Skyrim.
Delayed?!?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuckin good news. More time to enjoy Skyrim, and not worry about getting two games.
I guess... I can wait a bit longer...

Yeah. Don't really like that approach; just giving the women sex appeal, regardless of any logic.
Kaiden will be dead in my game.

Kaiden from ME1 because I have it on PS3 and did some online comic where I killed him.
I also can't keep Miranda alive due to her loyalty conflict with Jack. Tried for high paragon and all that but still can't keep both of them alive.
I hear you can stagger miranda/jack with certain people during the suicide mission, but haven't bothered with that yet.
Miranda can't be killed until the human reaper.
Shepard
Kaiden
Garrus
LET'S FINISH IT!
Kinda off topic but can anyone recommend a few good ME books that are good?
Son of a bitch! It guarentee it will take the same approach as Gears 3. "Hey we're gonna push it back to April '11 so we can make it the best game ever". A month later "Oh we're gonna push it back to Q3 of '11 now. Why? Cus we're greedy little f**ks."
DAMN! It better take me 40 hours to complete the story.

Real smooth.
Yeah, f**k Cliffy B. I'm sure you read the interview where he discussed the pushing back of Gears 3. He just came out and basically said "We don't want to compete with the other games out there. We want more money". And it's not like Gears 3 wasn't gonna get it sales anyway.
No, I meant the utterly racist comment.
Well, Judaism is not a race, it's a religion, but whatever. I modified my original post. It's just that I have no respect for that man. To come out and blatantly say "We did it for the money", just doesn't work for me.
I'm sorry if I offended anybody with my original post. As I said earlier, I edited my post.
I'd rather he just say "we did it for the money" than give a bullshit reason.
Are you seriously gonna stand by him for doing that? Sure, I guess he was being honest and that's good and all, but, in the end, it was still a greedy move.
For the franchise to make millions more dollars instead of getting drowned out by more popular games? Hardly greedy.

OK, we must have different views on greed. The game was ready to be released in April '11, Cliffy said so himself. Then he decided to push it back to Sept 11. For one reason alone, money. That, to me, is the definition of greed. And do you really thing that Gears 3, one of the most anticipated games in recent memory, wouldn't make it's millions? Please.
I think the only person who might object is TJDoc, you jelly sweeps.

As for the delay, I can't say I'm terribly surprised. Regardless of the exact reason, a release this year always seemed a little too soon to me.

I believe my phrasing was "millions more". That's not greedy, that's smart. And more polish time-- it's not as if they're going to be sitting around all day staring at their dicks, watching the pubes grow.

Jack is my love interest and Miranda always gets shot and dies late (indeed after the human reaper). I thought the whole last mission was the "suicide mission". I'm a PS3 newb to the series though.
I've got everyone elses loyalty up, and everybody else survives no problems. But I've only played through the ending twice.

I lol'd. :laugh:
Just curious- when you kill her during the final stage, do you rely on her dying without her loyalty mission complete and not bring her with you, or bring her with you ensuring she dies? Because I'v heard that in a few cases, if she's not with you, loyalty not completed, she can somehow survive.
Making it so that there is only one instance in which she may die makes it seem like she'll be part of Mass Effect 3 to a larger degree. Anybody else can die at any instance of a wrong choice/lack of loyalty completion. And if their loyalty isn't gained, it's doubtful that the user who neglected the quest would bring her along for the final attack (Human Reaper) anyways.

Heh? I have completed many times with all team intact.
There's a lovely 12 page article on Mass Effect 3 in Game Informer... I found it....
Informative
New details: http://news.tgn.tv/mass-effect-3-more-details-hit/ (http://news.tgn.tv/mass-effect-3-more-details-hit/)
- Tali is confirmed as a squadmate, and just to recap. Garrus, Liara, Kaidan/Ashley are also confirmed.
- No romances with new characters, just more fleshed out old romances.
- More potent biotics "Biotics can use their Pull ability to rip a shield out of someone's hands".
- Non-linear combat areas, which means that it's not just a room with cover "They're now multi layered encouraging you to seek high ground for a better vantage point...". And Cerberus have dudes with frickin' rocketboots that will be doing it too.
- Class-specific melee attacks, which is awesome, here's examples: Engineer: Omni-tool fire lash attack; Adept: Melee (biotic) attack that knocks everyone near them away and stuns.
- Skill combinations: "Soldier still has an arcing attack called Concussive Shot, but it now behaves differently depending on the ammo ugrade he/she is using. Cryo ammo lets you use that same trajectory to deliver a blast of ice that can freeze every enemy in the area.".
- The story will flow more like Mass Effect rather than Mass Effect 2.
- Confirmed location: Salarian homeworld, the Quarian homeworld, the Asari homeworld, and the human homeworld – Earth. You'll even go to Mars.
- Cerberus are working with the reapers.
- More Reaper experiments to fight: Hideously bloated pregnant Asari; Rachni with weak spots, that when hit spew out smaller Rachni that can swarm you; Reaperised Krogan that wears heavy armor plates that can shear off with enough focused fire, when you do he becomes slower and has his guts hanging out; Something that heals when there is dead stuff around it.

What with the Illusive Man's pretty glowing eyes that are incredibly similar to Saren's, I wonder
just how long this shit has been going on.
And if that's the case, why the hell did he even bother resurrecting Shepard?
Like everyone else, I'm weary of this news. There better be a damn good explanation; TIM was against the Reapers more than anybody other than Shepard.

This.
I noticed that the illusive man's eyes look similar to Sarens as well but considering how much he hated the reapers never thought much of it, but if it turns out hes been indoctrinated.... :-\
Cant really think of any way bioware could explain why he would bring shepard back to life and help him fight the reapers if he was actually working with them, unless maybe he has faulty wiring.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the hell is up with that either. I seriously hope there's more to it, I don't care to have a recap of Saren with The Illusive Man... if he's indoctrinated, it would just ruin the complexities his character. And if he's not indoctrinated-
why the f**k else would he work with the Reapers?So much for ensuring humanity's survival.
Maybe he was just playing both sides to see who would end up with the best chances of winning... then when he found out there was 0 chance to win against the reapers... he gave humanity the finger.

I Don't Know if anyone here has read the novels but from what i have read TIM is most likely not working for The Reapers; He
IS however more evil and manipulating than he appeared in Mass Effect 2.
Im Not sure if the novels run parallel in Canon with the game storyline, but this is a summary of the events including TIM after the events on Mass Effect 2.
Spoiler
Sometime after the battle with the Collectors, the Illusive Man sought to learn more about the Reapers in order to combat them. He required a test subject to experiment with salvaged reaper technology. The candidate he selected was Paul Grayson, who was captured by Kai Leng, a former N7 marine. The Illusive Man subjected his former operative to implantation with Reaper technology and would have him killed if Grayson got out of control. But before he could terminate Grayson, the turians launched a mass strike of all known Cerberus assets, facilities and agents into both Council and Terminus space, including the station where the experiment was being conducted. The Illusive Man was forced to flee, while Grayson was being overtaken by the Reapers (just as Saren Arterius was) and sent on a rampage. Seeing that Grayson had become a liability, the Illusive Man dispatched Leng to finish the job. Leng ultimately succeeded in his task, ending Grayson's life at the Jon Grissom Academy. Leng was forced to escape afterwards, leaving what remained of Grayson's corpse in Alliance hands. The Illusive Man was not concerned about that because he knew that men like David Anderson would be as pro-active as him in preparing for the Reapers' arrival. Also, unwilling to afford a war with Omega's queen, Aria T'Loak, the Illusive Man used her suspicions of Grayson's involvement in her daughter's death to secure an alliance with her.
So mabye TIM has ressurected Commander Shepard and wanted the Collector Station so he can increase his chances of getting his grubby paws on Reaper technology and ensure human dominance throughout the galaxy.
Very Dramatic
Yeah, I think the "Cerberus is working with the Reapers" is just PC Gamer Magazine making assumptions. I mean, they thought the new picture of Ashley was a whole new character, so how trustworthy is their information? Bioware said in GI that they would not reveal the reasons for Cerberus hunting Shepard, so I don't think it was Bioware selling this information.

I really hope so.
The only other way I could see it work is if TIM is working with the reapers in the same capacity as the collectors were. Becoming their fist to avoid total elimination.
That said, I can't see TIM letting humanity be second place on the intergalactic mantle. Not permanantly, and certainly not with the lack of free will the collectors had in the series.

Quote1. Mass Effect 3 will have fewer party characters than Mass Effect 2
Don't expect to have nearly as many characters in Mass Effect 3 as you did in ME2. ME2's large crew—12 playable characters—was necessary for the game's posse-building storyline, but was a little large for BioWare's taste.
"Twelve was a big number in Mass Effect 2 - almost too big", says Hudson. "We're focused on a smaller squad with deeper relationships and more interesting interplay in Mass Effect 3' he explains. "We're not going to have twelve again but we are going to do more with the characters on your squad including Liara, and Kaidan or Ashley. And we're bringing everyone back - every main character is in Mass Effect 3 somewhere."
So yes, it is very possible that you might not get to control your favorite ME2 character. That said, every character from the game has a role to play in the story, provided they survived your trip through the Omega-4 relay.
2. You will travel to new worlds
This one's kind of a no-brainer. Many of the planet you'll visit in ME3 are places you've only heard about in previous games. Hudson mentions that you'll see Palaven (the Turian homeworld) and Rannoch (the Quarian homeworld) in the game. It's also confirmed that you will return to Krogan homeworld Tunchaka.
As you might have already guessed, Shepard will also be going to Earth in this game. Hudson said that players will get to see "a Seattle/Vancouver megacity" both before and after the Reapers destroy it. Connecting the world of <Mass Effect to our own, the city is designed to look just like Vancouver. "If you Google Map Vancouver the layout is pretty much the exact same as our map," according to level artist Don Arceta.
3. Those worlds are going to be big
Reapers are big. In order to have accommodate fights with them, or even having them nearby means designing levels much larger than the usual spaceship corridors that make up a large portion of Mass Effect's locales. Many of levels will include more open spaces. BioWare plans to make the shift in a way a dramatic way, claiming that some levels that are not only larger than anything ever seen in a Mass Effect game, but larger than any game built with the Unreal Engine.
Think of it this way. At least one level has to be big enough for Shepard to fight using a 50-foot tall Cerberus mech.
4. In combat, you'll need to think on your feet
The gunplay in Mass Effect 2 is mostly standard cover-based shooter fare. It was often OK to hide behind cover, picking off enemies at the back of a room while directing your teammates. The ME3 team plans to change that. They want you to be forced to scramble. To do that, BioWare is putting enemy tactics at the forefront. Different types of enemies will not only have varying abilities, they'll those skills in tandem. "Some will provide covering fire for snipers, some will deploy smoke to hide advancing comrades, others will coordinate subordinate units, and one will stomp around consuming its fallen friends to fuel itself," according to the feature.
5. Weapons are going to be much more customizable and detailed
In keeping up with their pledge to create a "deeper RPG experience" this time around, you'll be able to fine-tune your weapons in Mass Effect 3 much more than the last two games. "Every weapon is modular and can be customised with up to five modifications; scopes increase a rifle's zoom factor, new barrels increase accuracy or damage," Says Hudson. "Sling your gun on a workbench and it can be customised for a job at hand." Based on that last part, it sounds like it may be important to not only upgrade your weapons, but adjust them to suit different situations.
Hudson also mentioned that the team has been mixing it up with members of the DICE team, getting advice on how to make the guns sound realistic in varying environments.

Finally kept everybody alive on my playthrough. Still with what appears to be 100% paragon, can't get Miranda and Jack to reconcile their differences.
I'll just be glad to keep them all alive I suppose.

They don't.
What I mean to say is that I can't keep both loyal. Despite being 100% paragon I can't get Miranda/Jack on my side.
I've heard that this is because the paragon or renegade options are only available if you have 80% of one of those two meters filled up over the other. I played it as somebody who is mostly chill but can strongarm when necessary. Thus my paragon is high, but not 80% higher than my renegade.
It would've been helpful if you could've just gone with 80% one way. Really don't feel like playing through the game again just so they can be chill.
Which i've seen done of the youtube interwebs.

Could you explain what your acranims stand for? And if I don't have Zaeed can I still get through the suicide mission with everone alive? Cus I've tried a lot of different options and Jack keeps on dieing.

If you want to prevent Jack from dying upgrade the Normandy's Armour plating via Samara or Jacob (I think)

Yeah I was actually really surprised when i found out how Jack really was in her romance scene, kinda like an emo chick lol, pretty hot lol
I tried to like her until it was literally romance or "f**k off!".
Apparently she grows up a bit in Mass Effect 3, so hopefully she isn't such a bitch. Still liked her for her more sincere qualities though, and yes, she was badass.
Jack was probably my favorite character in the game.

Nah, not like that. I done all that. But I always lose her loyalty after her and Miranda get into it, so then she dies wherever I send her on the Suicide Mission.
Have more Renegade/Paragon than the other. You'll be able to settle the argument no problem. Just don't mix too much or there's no way out of it.

Miranda is bugged and literally immune to dying at all whether loyal or not until HTL (Hold the Line)
HR is human reaper.
During hold the line you need to leave Garrus and Grunt behind, and do not pick Jack for the Reaper. Unlike Miranda, Jack isn't bugged and is rather likely to die.
Her defense value is extremely low, and if you haven't sent Mordin or Thane with the Normandy crew your chances of losing are even higher.

Well remember that one pictured is under the form of a Yahg, so it's already a big son of a bitch. Aside from that, it looks similar to a scion (Mass Effect 2). It also kinda reminds me of The Thing, just with some weird biomechanic implants...
Okay, Yahg, that makes more sense. Thought it might be Batarian. :P I was also iffy on the Scion in ME2.
And about the Thing comparison; the Thing does get fairly over-the-top at points, yes, but its effective because it had looked perfectly normal beforehand. It's the warping and twisting of the familiar right before our eyes into something deformed and grotesque.
That, it just looks weird. I dunno, that kinda look's a hard one to pull off. I still think the Husks were the most effectively creepy transformed enemies, simply because they were still so recognizably anthropomorphic.

Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wait a tic!
You're right! That maf**ka IS a batarian! :o
I just cross-checked the head pattern, and it
was distinctly batarian. In the head at least. The body still looks Yahg though... and there is a human head morphing out of the side... I think this thing is basically just some abomination of multiple species in one form, which I kinda like the idea of. I'll reserve my judgement...
On a side-note, I'm really liking the designs of the Cerberus troops. Especially that one operative chick in the first Game Informer scans that I
still suspect as being Miranda. Kinda hope she's an antagonist for some reason.
Holy shit I thought it was a Krogen... but damn that is one big ass Batarian.... Like a horrible cross of a Krogen and a Batarian...
I've got the PSM article where it mentions the Reapers have replaced the collectors with combination experiments of the galaxies dominant species.
Not sure how I feel about that. Seems they replaced the sentient race of machines hell-bent on the complete destruction of every highly-advanced civilization with Doctor Insano.
They seem pretty expendable to me. And you'd still need somebody to do the groundwork if you were a giant ass robot that couldn't be amongst the people.
It isn't like tampering with genetic material is past them after all. The collectors were a tampered with version of the protheans. They were taking humans for genetic experiments before they even started human reaper.

Huh? It's not like they are personally opertating on these creatures. It just seems like an evolution of Husks, but with the multiple races, it's more like a hive development-- almost like Zerg from StarCraft. Okay, maybe not THAT far. But I don't see anything out of place with what we already know of what the Reapers have done, especially considering the Protheans being twisted beyond recognizable form into Collectors.
I just feel it clashes with the "synthetic is superior" viewpoint that I got from the first game.
Well, that's why they are integrating synthetic material with other species.
I dunno, I'm always skeptical of stuff like that. It always worries me.

Perhaps they figured using organics (ala Protheans/Collectors) as mindless drones was their idea of a poetic statement. ;D

Don't see what purpose that would serve during a galactic-scale war... unless it had to do with him encountering Reaper technology, and some way that can be used to exploit a weakness of theirs.
So on that note: God, I hope not.

Instakill arm blade moves.

Where's Sovereign when you need him...
ogod legion.

That's true.
The one thing ME2 did right in my eyes was make Legion and Thane. Thane is well Thane, and I could listen to Legion talk forever.
Shame Bioware spent all their writing talent on Legions dialogue and left nothing for the actual plot. :D

I don't know, man. The blades were pretty big. I think if you stabbed someone in the heart with that they would die. And I like it a hell of a lot more than just bashing them with the gun over and over and over again.
Way to miss the point.
OK, my bad. Then what was your point? Or do you just not like the weapons plan and simple?
I don't like hitting a button and getting a "SUPER COOL KILL MOVE" cutscene.
It gets old real fast.
Ahh, OK. I can definitely see where you are coming from on that one. BUT, for me at least, I would rather have the small cutscene than the constant bashing. Just me though.
Can't get excited for this game. Not sure whats wrong with it, or me. Just not liking the feel of it. Just looks like they're trying too hard to make it "epic".
Just a trailer, bro. And I think it would be a failure on the promotional team if they failed to show off something "epic". That goes for movies and games.
That demo was...underwhelming. Hopefully more and better stuff will be shown at the floor later this week.
If you're going to talk, talk.

Don't shoot.
I've never played Mass Effect, so take this for what it's worth. But, the trailer for 3 looked so much like Halo 2 I don't even know where to begin. Even the sword looked almost identical (at a glance) and the entire thiing just made me think 'Halo.'
I wonder if any ME players share this sentiment, or if it doesn't matter because Mass Effect is such a differnent game than your standard shooter?
:laugh: That is very true RD. The blade does look like a small plasma sword. For me, I can look past the Halo fell that you mentioned, cus I know the game itself will(Fookin better be!) a lot different.

Halo 2 had two ships, this has an entire fleet attacking. And the fleet is, literally the enemy, creating footsoldiers. The Earth attack is far different from Halo, I assure you.
The "sword" was just a single "blade", nothing like the energy sword from what I can tell. What it
does look like is the Elite's energy gauntlet from Halo Reach.
Nah, it has two separate blades, SS. Almost like a Predator.
A trailer and two gameplay demos. Just not finding it that interesting.
There has been two gameplay demos? Link, please?
EDIT: Never mind, I found them. I thought the guns sounded excellent. Sounded like you were trowin out some big lead.
And, SS, I swore it had two separate blades on the trailer, but in the game play it looked like one.
Oh, and Huol, in the demo, when he attacked with the blade it wasn't just a "Super cool cutscene" he just extends it and slices the guy, and he didn't die. Just sayin.
Just saw him miss.
Hrm.
also dat female Krogan.
I liked the miss, looked like it got stuck in the wall for a moment.
Also, the animation is looking fantastic.

I think so, since they were working toward heading to him... which I'm very happy about. ;D
Oh, and the latest demo was my favorite one yet. There's still another we haven't seen yet, but I doubt it will be on GT. The way they're handling the Earth stuff is even better than I had expected of them.
Really liking the look of this so far but the way it uses kinect is like the most pointless gimmick ever.
Geoff brought up a very good point, that being "why not just be able to use your Xbox Live headset for the voice recognition?" :laugh:

Apart from that, the actual stuff shown in the trailer looked interesting.
I think you'll like the Earth gameplay, Marines. Just go in with an open mind. There's also some great stuff on the Salarian homeworld... with an old friend.

Not sure how I feel about that knife-kills. They look too GoW for me. And I really hope you can turn off those blue cover arrows.
Liked Part II more, as well. Only part-way through (f**king buffering), but it's looking good. I really want to be an asshole to that little kid. :laugh:

So glad that Anderson has a bigger role in this. You can never have too much David.

Hmm, I've just watched the trailer again, both demo's. I'm very impressed.

Well, I have returned after a month away from these forums. What have I accomplished in said month, you ask.
Well, I'll tell you.
I played through Mass Effect. And I played through Mass Effect 2. And I can tell you, unequivocably, as a long-term gamer with 15+ years of experience, some of it within the industry itself, with hundreds of titles under my belt across literally dozens of platforms, that Mass Effect 2 is the greatest game I have ever played in my life.
Now, on to 3 - honestly, I'm gonna be disappointed if they take Miranda out. When I first popped ME2 in and the first thing I heard was "waitaminutethatsoundsalotlikeYvonneStrahovskiIshouldlookituponimdbOHMYGODITREALLYISYVONNESTRAHOVSKI" that got me even more pumped for the remainder of the game than ME1 did. Also, I really liked Liara in the first game, she was a great character, and going into ME2 my intention was to remain faithful to her.
However, that all went away, and Miranda is now my woman. Period. My Chuck fanboi-ism will not allow me to take on any other consorts, no matter how sexy the ME3 women may be, and I truly hope that Bioware finds it within their hearts to allow me to continue my creepy virtual relationship with the hottest woman on the planet.
On the gameplay side, I'm less than enthused about the kinect stuff. If they could somehow figure out a way for me to hear Mark Meers/Jennifer Hale instead of my own voice, than the diologue tree stuff could be sweet. However, barring that, its not an option I'll be using. And for the combat stuff, honestly, I've found those systems to never work like they should. Even the SOCOM series, which was lauded for just that capability, I found to be severely lacking.
On a final plot note, I murdered Marina Sirtis in ME1, and Michael Dorn in ME2, so please FOR THE LOVE OF GAWD BIOWARE let me kill Wil Wheaton in ME3. Its every Trekkies dream.

This post. Confirms my love for you.
Don't leave.
Not again. :'(
Miranda has been confirmed as being back in Mass Effect 3, Yvonne Strahovski included (if it was anybody else with her face, I would get a plane to Edmonton and head straight to BioWare studios), but her role is unknown at this point, unfortunately. Considering she was your XO in Mass Effect 3, and there is only one stage in the last mission in which she can die, I'm quite certain her role should be of pleasing size (like Garrus', who can die at nearly any stage yet is a full-time squadmate in ME3).
Everybody else on this forum hates her though, so we're the minorities here. :laugh:
Woa, woa, woa. I love me some Miranda. I either choose her or stay with Ashley when I start a new character.
I watched the gameplay SSweeper posted... and I'm just nitpicking here, but did any one else think the aiming reticule was off set?
And Domino, you are a BA. Just sayin.

I am so happy... I preorderd... so happy!
Oh and I watched the E3 thing on tv they showed a female Krogen I was all...
fan gasm
I didn't hate her, I just liked other people better. Same for Jacob. As a character I liked his professionalism in the game. It made him a stark contrast to the rest of the squadmates who mostly had a cavalier outlook on life. He just had the most useless weaponl loadout/biotic combo in the game.
Whoa whoa whoa............. You like Jacob? Out of everyone I talked to about Mass Effect (which is a lot because I can't shut up about it) no one EVER told me they liked Jacob... is this a sign?
Jacob was alright. Sure he wasn't the most badass guy(Thane), but he wasn't a waste of space, at least IMO. But I don't really dislike anybody in my squad from 1 or 2. They have their ups and downs, but I like em all.
I liked Jacob a fair bit. Like Kimarhi said, he seemed to be the most professional of the lot, except for Miranda and maybe Garrus.
I wouldn't call Garrus professional... at all. Especially in Mass Effect 2- he may be glued to his callibrations, but he's a vigilante with a large focus on his former ties.

Great caps.
I just realized why I'm not liking all of the new stuff in this game. It feels like they're moving away from what made the first game so unique, and closer to more generic sci-fi.
Preordered my collectors edition. :)
http://www.livestream.com/electronicarts/video?clipId=pla_f07c21d3-3cfb-40f1-9415-094b85c03e9bSame demos we've seen, but with some new looks at the menus, leveling system, dialoge options, and combat abilities, with a commentary by one of the devs-- a compilation of all, plus montage about halfway through showing footage never before seen from the demos-- like the inside of the Nomandy, conversing with a Quarian leader and Tali (no audio however)!
I saw the screen of Shepard talking with the Quarian leader in the darkened room and the tactical display up, and I f**king loved it. It looks like the Normandy's own war room where they'll be planning skirmishes against the Reapers, and it was only briefly shown. So far, this game is delivering on my dreams. :laugh:

In Mass Effect 3, I want Miranda to be like this, just without the double-eye HUD; one would be fine for combat, but none on the Normandy.

Definitely. Would really add to the immersiveness. That always bugged me in 2.
You can wear casual clothes on the Normandy, at least on the PS3. You just have to change in Shepard's room.
Yeah, Shep can. The other guys don't, though.
My bad.
I thought kind of the opposite though. You never know when your going to be in the shit, so staying in combat gear would kind of be the norm imo.
Well it would only benefit you if you were going to face a boarding party... but you'd know when dat shit would happen, even if it's short notice. ;)
But that's over-analysis of course... casual wear makes much more sense.
The collectors boarded the Normandy 2 without much warning. Peeps didn't have time to load into combat gear, just grab weapons and hope for the best.
I liken it to being in afghanistan. You have a base of your own people surrounded by various factions that want to kill you. You also never know when your going to have to be a QRF for an incident somewhere else.

Case and point.
Support troops in a place like Bagram. Because there are quite a few pictures of Marines and Soldiers in combat arms during off duty times in full combat gear stinking and sweating and filthy.
The Normandy would be much more like a modern day submarine on a 6 month tour. Except its wartime with an enemy who ALSO has submarines instead of a land based insurgency.
The rest of the Normandy crew has their class b or c uniforms on. Shepard's team are more like SEALs than those guys though. They do the grunt work and would be a whole lot more closer to their combat gear than they would a foozball table.
It wouldn't hurt to have other uniforms, because even SEALs get safe port r&r everynow and then, its just it never personally bothered me because my crew was always doing something in the game. I never did the run this to that guy errands or explored the the major trade areas much.
Okay, over-analysis complete.
Point is, casual wear should still be used on the Normandy just as it was with fine logic in the first one. Unless they're preparing to fight, combat armor is pointless and a hindrance, simple.
And MY point is they were in a situation where an advanced alien species declared war on them (not to mention all the other various corporations/militaries/organizations/entities that were hostile after them) and thus as the Normandy's ONLY offensive ground based or ship to ship based fighting unit probably wouldn't have much time to shoot the shit and down a bud. Thus being ready could potentially be a bonus.
An active duty soldier never has off time unless he lives with family outside the base (where he is still on call even after completing a hard days work) or is on leave or furlow. Otherwise your doing military shit in garrison.
That said I wouldn't care either way. It makes sense both ways to me. As peacekeepers where an enemy ship couldn't drop out of ftl and drop haymakers on your ass class b's or c's are fine. In a war situation where a superpowered galactic enemy of mankind COULD drop out of space and hand you an L, sticking to your gear is fine.
Not to mention the [fairly] long durations of space travel...
What does the game say about space travel in ME1? In ME2 just about everything you do seems like the tech behind it makes space travel instantaneous.
In "real" life, everybody would be dead a thousand times over of old age if they tried to go across the milkyway at even significantly greater than light speed.
Also keep in mind that space is f**king
huge. Inbetween star systems (hell, within star systems) the chances of running into anything are astronomically small to the point of near impossibility. Staying in full combat gear all the time is just extravagant. People always seem to forget that...

It should also be mentioned that the Collector encountered happened because they were being tracked. It wasn't like they met at a space intersection and revved their engines at eachother provocatively.
I know they were being tracked. I was just saying that if a huge warship can drop in and ruin everybody's day in an instant like that, then having gear on would be muy bueno.
What if you were docked at a space station an enemy knew the location of and warped in like that?
Still, if space travel isn't instantaneous like it appeared in ME2 (was thinking of something like John Scalzi's of Old Man's War method of space propulsion) then I'll concede the point.
Because unless you were at a target or had been tracked your not going to really run into trouble in deep space unless it was instantaneous and you just happened to jump right into the enemies home systems. It just didn't appear that there was any travel time between distances due to the lack of relativity effects and aging thus putting you in an enemies grasp much easier.

The Mass Relays were instantaneous, and those covered the absolute biggest gaps in the galaxy, literally being able to send you from a relay on one side of the galaxy, to another in the other in a second. However, when relays aren't available, FTL travel is put into use, like when you're going planet to system to system.
As for [Mass Effect's] FTL travel (because each piece of sci-fi seems to have a varrying amount of FTL effectiveness), I'm sure SpaceMarines would be able to set an estimate for how long that would take, but it seemed to me like it would be a day at the very most.
Buuut that's aside the point, I just think that if everybody was wearing armor 24/7 (lol,space), then it would just be extremely uncomfortable and unnecesary... not much use going further into it from there.

Yeah, I'd say that was mostly just for the presentation so that it didn't force you to wait real-time gaps (obviously not days) that were anything more than loading screens. Due to the in-game situations though, thinking that the times would be anything more than days is ridiculous. And I can't even imagine "days" long.

Explains the Illusive Man's eyes. My guess is that he became something of a sleeper agent after his encounter with the Reaper technology, and now that they're here... they have an entire ground force at their will. That'd be a good enough reason for me, but I'd still be disappointed that TIM basically wouldn't be the same suave and cool character he was in
Mass Effect 2.

No, you aren't.
Financially women did not support the game, as many blew it off based on the ads. No monetary input, no demographic fanservice, which is droll considering BW exists on fanservice.
So much for "visuals don't matter" and "equalized egalitarianism"
Even with 3 having specifically targeted ads with FemShep.
Secondly there already is a gay character and the female fans reacted with complete indifference in focus testing because the majority of them play a female character.
Moreover, those polled who picked a Femshep posted about 70% male.
82% of original nonduplicated accounts were male, had heterosexual romances and custom facial builds.

Hmm, I'll have to see an official announcement from Bioware first. That said, if they put co-op in it, I won't mind as long as the singleplayer doesn't suffer from it.
But... didn't Bioware say this wasn't going to include MP after all?
Anyway, good news if true. :)

Bioware also stated no new romance options, they also stated no returning re-ups.
Any reason to get me playing the game more is fine by me
Hopefully the co-op characters are highly customizable... like race, gender, etc...
The MP will probably end up being half arsed and tacked on, but if it's good then I'll probably be more inclined to get this.
If they essentially make it shadow broker x 4 with the same format and each race represented (It's not like they don't have the models and anims already) it'll probably be huge, and an autoDLC venue.
I can see how that could bring new people to the franchise...
I'll just wait until we get more information on this though, don't wanna go blowin' the load too early.

That said, to the masses, Halo's main draw was/is the multiplayer aspect... and Halo 3 was the first Halo game on Xbox 360 consoles. They didn't give two shits about people who were new to the game's story because they knew that those people wouldn't really care (much to my, and other fans of the story's benefit).
Yeah they alienated new fans, but it's fine cause they alienated old ones as well with thier stinker of a story.
Some old fans. Likely the ones that didn't like Halo 2's either. ::)
Aye. Equal opportunity shit-product.
The only draw to 2 and 3 were the multiplayer. The story in both was lacking, though the Arbiter was a nice idea. 3 really was carried by it's next gen status as it's MP is a weaksauce version of 2s.
CE on the other hand had it all.

That battle scar detail from ME2 is overwhelmingly impressive. If Garrus would now just do the funky Shepard dance then that would make my day :) .

Come to think of it, they'll likely do this with Battlefield 3 as well.
Yeeaaah well not exactly. You get the Physical Warfare pack (EXTRA STUFF WOOOO) if you buy from game and gamestation.co.uk, which are online retailers... but they won't release BF3 on Steam, most likely.
Steam is the big deciding factor in terms of online retailers though... refuse Steam for your own distribution service and your fwalked, mang.
EA are trying to worm their way into a niche market that's already filled... and their method (brute force) doesn't appeal to me at all.

Your reading comprehension is awesome. Origin is N7 pack exclusive, not DL exclusive. If you don't give a shit about the dog and outfits, voila, steam is your bestest buddy.
Not like you can buy the game on Steam or anything.
Those extras are also in the non-digital collectors edition.

You have a choice between Winona Ryder (1,2,5), Rhianna (4), and Olga Kurylenko (6).
For the love of Christ, just pick 3. Winona 5 is in the lead; I don't want that on the other side of my CE case.
I like 2 the most.
2 would be my second choice, but it still looks like Winona Ryder to me...
3 for sure.
I have a thing about red heads
Ditto, and that's the way my Sheppo goes. But there's something about the third one.
It's totally the implied ponytail. The fact that it's not seen adds an extra layer of tension and mystery.
Also, she has the best looking face.

He's round. You get a letter from him at some point, I remember. He shows up again in the Arrival DLC.

Looks great aside from the positioning of the eyes.
Eyes in video gfames are often creepy. Case in point, Miranda.

Dude, f**k me, that sounds delicious.
Shaping up to be everything a finale storyarc should be.
I was thinking a couple of days ago that I would like to play the original but couldn't because I have a PS3. Later. Several days later infact, it occurred to me, I DO have an XBOX 360. I had a 360 when the second one came out for PS3.
I just never play it.
Worth going for it? PS3 version has pretty detailed (but I imagine not nearly that detailed)interactive comic at the beggining that tells you all plot points and even gives you choices about love interest who you leave to die/who you kill etc.
The wait between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 is proving to be the single longest loading screen in existence.
Luckily, I just bought Mass Effect: Redemption, Mass Effect: Ascension, and Mass Effect: Retribution. As slow as I tend to read, those should take me just about till March.

Play the original. The only way to get the complete feel for the games is to go through them all with your own Shepard.

Ah, multiplayer. The aspect of any game that I play the least.
While I am not against multiplayer for Mass Effect, I feel it out be out of place. For a series that immerses the player in a rich and often times epic single player experience; multiplayer I don't see being anything special aside from the standard team deathmatch experiences that flood a hundred other games.
Yeah, I bet the multiplayer aspect will flop. Competitive planet scanning would be awesome, though.
They should add a realistic business angle to it, too. Stake claims on valuable minerals, sell as much as you can before the price drops.
Man, Ghost the Host would be f**king pissed.

Nice, clearly means these'll be isolated and not interrupt the single player storyline. I hope you can create your character though through stuff like race, ethnicity, gender, ect.

Official Announcement FAQ for Multiplayer and Galaxy At War:
QuoteToday BioWare and the Mass Effect 3 team are very pleased to announce 4 player co-op multiplayer missions and the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system for Mass Effect 3 on the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
4 player co-op multiplayer
Join your friends in the all-out galactic war to take Earth back. The universe of Mass Effect expands with the addition of new co-op multiplayer missions, playable over Xbox Live, PSN and PC internet. Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine their weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as they fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control. Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of the single player campaign, giving players an alternative method of achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind – and the entire galaxy – has ever faced.
Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War
As a bonus to the campaign, BioWare is introducing the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, a new way for players to manage and experience the galactic war from multiple fronts, including a new 4-player co-op mode. The key to saving the galaxy is the "Galactic Readiness" level, measured by Commander Shepard's ability to apply
every possible asset – people, weapons, resources, armies, fleets – in the final battle against the Reapers. Players can impact their game's Galactic Readiness level in multiple ways via the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, including multiplayer. Other platforms and interfaces will be announced in the coming months. It is important to note that the system is entirely optional and just another way players can have control over your game experience – it is still possible to achieve the optimal, complete ending of the game in Mass Effect 3 through single-player alone.
F.A.Q.
Why include 4 player Co-op multiplayer in Mass Effect 3?
Being able to explore and fight alongside your friends in the Mass Effect universe has always been something we thought would be fun and compelling, and many players have asked for it for a long time as well. Mass Effect 3 is the best place for us to introduce multiplayer through co-op because of the premise of the game – all out galactic war.
Why only 4 player co-op? What not a versus mode?
We have always maintained that we would only add multiplayer into the Mass Effect series if it made sense and did not compromise the power of the single player campaign. Fighting together against a common threat was the multiplayer experience that made the most sense for Mass Effect 3. The way we have designed co-op as a wayto take control of key conflict zones in the galaxy is a natural extension of the premise of Mass Effect 3.
Why did you decide not to include it as a part of the main campaign?
Our priority and focus with Mass Effect 3 has and always will be to deliver a complete and satisfying single player experience.
Does the addition of co-op multiplayer missions impact the scope or quality of the single-player experience?
No. A dedicated team from our recently formed BioWare Montreal studio has been focused on creating the multiplayer game features while the main game continued to be developed by the team in BioWare Edmonton. Both teams are integrated under the same leadership group that produced Mass Effect 1 and 2, led by Casey Hudson. BioWare remains dedicated to delivering one of the most amazing single-player campaigns gamers have ever experienced.
How did developing multiplayer impact the single player game?
BioWare is dedicated and focused on delivering an engaging, fun, and action-packed experience for Mass Effect 3, one that lives up the BioWare standard. To reach that level of quality, last year BioWare opened a studio in Montreal that is home to designers, programmers, engineers, and other developers. Both studios work together as partners, lead by the core Mass Effect team, unified in a single vision. Under the direction of Casey Hudson and other team veterans, both studios make contributions to both the single player and multiplayer modes in Mass Effect 3. Rest assured that no compromises were made to either of these modes in the development of Mass Effect 3.
Which characters can I play in co-op multiplayer? Can I play as Commander Shepard?
Commander Shepard's part in the war will take place in the single-player campaign, as will that of other beloved characters in the franchise such as Garrus, Ashley, and Liara...these characters do not appear in the multiplayer missions. In multiplayer, players will create custom characters to fight on different and unique fronts in the war. This will include the ability to play as favorites like Turians, Krogans, Asari and more... each with their own unique set of abilities.
What if I don't like multiplayer – will my experience be negatively impacted?
Mass Effect 3 is a complete, standalone game that will deliver a satisfying story experience, even if you choose not to try multiplayer. The Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system and all of the individual components are meant to complement that amazing game and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of the Galaxy at War experience.
What if I am not good at / do not like multiplayer? Will my readiness rating go down?
ME3 is a story about a war against overwhelming force where the most you can hope for us survival. The more you do to fight that war, the more you can change that story into a more optimistic one. You can reach the highest levels of success in the single player experience alone, but Galaxy at War gives you alternative ways to get there. It's about choice, and allowing players to find their own ways to stay immersed in the Mass Effect universe.
Will you be adding any additional maps or modes through DLC?
We can't comment on specifics right now, but can confirm that we are planning on having DLC for Mass Effect 3.
Do save games from ME1 or ME2 impact the co-op multiplayer missions?
No.
Do characters level up in co-op multiplayer? What is the progression system?
Character progression, weapon upgrading and leveling up is present in co-op. We'll release more information on this topic in the months leading up to launch.
Is there more info about the other platforms of Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War?
We are not going into details about the other components of the Galaxy at War at this time except to say we are designing each to make sense for that platform. Each component will be able to affect a player's "Galactic Readiness" level in a different way. Again, participation in any or all ME3:GaW elements is entirely optional.

It actually sounds pretty fckin' good.
Yeah, I'm really liking what I'm hearing. To think that this'll somehow ruin the singleplayer experience is pretty ridiculous.
I love your new sig, BTW. :)
Goddamn, that sounds great. Can't wait to go savin' the Galaxy with some friends.

QuoteHello everyone!
As most of you know by now, this evening an accidental leak occurred of some early Mass Effect 3 beta code. Microsoft has advised us that through human error at their end, content which was meant for internal beta testing was flagged incorrectly and released to individuals who had signed up for the beta of the Xbox Live dashboard update. It has since been taken down and deactivated.
We'd like to stress that the leaked code is in a rough, unfinished state and was not meant for public release. The content is not final, and is not reflective of the quality of the finished, polished game due for release on March 6, 2012 (March 9 in Europe).
One feature that was present in this early build is a set of game play modes that are in development. In the beta code they are referred to as "action mode", "story mode" and "RPG mode". We want to stress that these features are still in the early stages of development and will receive considerable iteration and refinement. These modes are designed to give players an even finer degree of control over their game experience than ever before. Whether it be someone who finds the combat difficult but wants to experience the amazing story, someone who wants to focus on the action and combat game play, or fans who want the rich, story-driven RPG Mass Effect experience they've come to love – Mass Effect 3 will support all of these options. We'll have more info in the days ahead!

Good read, main points:
. Entire game comes on one disc
. No split-screen or LAN at launch, may happen later though
. PC will require a one time online activation then can be played offline fron then after
QuoteEntire game comes on one disc
Wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing? I mean, I thought it was pretty epic that #2 came on two discs.

Present evidence shows that it's a good thing, considering how much more it already has than Mass Effect 2. Now I don't have to have my space faring interrupted by a disc change.

Well, I mean, wouldn't only one disc mean that we are getting less content that if we got two? I guess they could have found out a way shrink big data into smaller data, meaning that even though it's only on one discs there more to do.
Definitely means the found a way to condense the data onto a single disc. Larger scale games than Mass Effect 2 have done it already.

Well going off some of the things I've read of the "original" plot this sounds like a good thing.
You are an idiot if you read the leaked plot,will ruin the experience for you.
There are some people out there who read every string, tree, and line of dialogue from every possible direction. That's f**king ridiculous.
Never really got those type of people. Actually, my best friend is one of those people. He always reads the plot the day it gets released. But, we still often go see it.
Showing off some stuff we knew, but it's still pretty to look at and we can hear Clint Mansell's work clearly...

I remember that when I first heard that idea mentioned, I was against it, but now that I've actually seen it in action, I have no problem with how it's handled.
The Thresher Maw was badass.Looks like lots of new enemies aswell.

I don't think that is a "true" Reaper. It seems to me like it is a ground-based platform that a Reaper constructed and deployed.
All Reapers posses a similar Reaper Cuttlefish design, which makes their movements in space, and landing on a planet, more graceful. While this Reaper platform had the Reaper Cuttlefish design in the head, the rest of its body did not seem practical to fly through space, landing on planet etc...
Its legs seem to be built to walk over various types of terrain, rather than to glide through space.
The Reaper platform also may look small compared to the Thresher Maw because that particular Thresher Maw could have been the "Colossal Thresher Maw". It was mentioned in the Cerberus Daily News:
"A photo taken by Clan Ravanor miners during a drilling operation on the krogan homeworld of Tuchanka is reigniting debate on the existence of a colossal thresher maw. The photo, now being viewed widely on the extranet, adds to a long line of evidence that skeptics call an old and treasured hoax -- and believers call irrefutable proof. For centuries, krogan settlements bordering Tuchanka's deserts have told stories of entire clans swallowed by this colossal thresher maw. While locals claim the ancient creature is real, no outside sources have confirmed the beast's existence." - 11/12/2010
Nah... it's a Reaper. Bioware said it was in their very first interview article for the game.
Also, we've already seen examples of how Reapers fold out on surfaces as opposed to traveling through space/air.

She has armor now, and her hair is straighter, back a bit more; looks less like Miranda's. Good thing, because the only tell that she wasn't Miranda before from that first pic released was skin tone (barely), nose, and eye colour.
But... where's Miranda?

How does a game possible go from greatest ever to worst ever? Come on, brah, bring it in a little bit.
IMO, ME2 is one of the greatest games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. I've beaten the campaign at least, if not more, than half a dozen times.

Sorry about that.
It only really hit me after looking back at 'ME1'. I noticed for the first time how many great things that game had brought with it: the innovation (Mass accelerator tech for guns, the sorta queer, yet feasible and original armour design), the concept of Spectres, the choices and decisions, the innovation of an antagonist like Saren, the Reapers, and the Geth, and the uniqueness of Commander Shepard (Not a hero like the 'DA' Warden, he felt more like part of a larger thing, rather than the sole banner of hope), and the climax.
Then I looked back at 'ME2' and, to me personally, it not only did not stand up to 'ME1', but to many other games either. You now had thermal clips, the action focus actually affected the gameplay as level design and pacing had to adapt to a cover system, you had far more cliche concepts like the ol' 'den of rogues' (Omega), the armour came to look very generic, to me it didn't feel like there was as much RPG interaction as in the first game (Even though I know the second game has more lines of dialogue), and many of the settings felt extremely generic (Korlus, Tuchanka). Not to mention the plot and antagonists being ludicrous, something which several other game sites have covered much better than I could.
Again, this is all just my personal opinion. It's still worth giving a shot if you're a fan of the first game, the intro to the game was really quite good. And Tali being romanceable was nice too.
I think ur on drugs dude,seriously.
First of all,you say the game deisign and pacing had to adapt to a cover system,um ME1 was about a cover system aswell it was just fixed in ME2.
Antagonist like Saren?What about the Collector general?
Way better enemies like Brute Husks,collectors,mechs etc.
You get to explore a dead Reaper.You find out alot more about them than you did in the First ME.
You find out about the Geth Faction that oppose the Reapers,the geth are hardly explained in ME1,just that they were build by the Quarians and rebelled.
Thermal clips were an improvment to the weapons system, Instead of waiting for an overheated weapon to cool down, the spent thermal clip can simply be ejected and a new clip inserted for better sustained fire,whats so bad about that.
The Armors actual looked way better due to the simple fact of graphical improvment so when you say generic i dont get you.There was alot more Armors in this game,some as DLC's.
Way better Characters to join ur team,and you get to choose between 11,or 12 i cant remember.The dirty Dozen.
I actually found the plot to be good.I suppose you havn't played any of the DLC's either have you.
So yea,your on drugs.
Once again, I'm stating that this is my own opinion. I'm not attacking the second game, just stating where and how I think it failed to meet up to the first one.
If you want to get a good picture of my complaints about the plot, you can also read this:
http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=7004&cpage=2#comments (http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=7004&cpage=2#comments)
Spoilers for both 'ME' games here, obviously. I'm looking at you, MudButt.
Spoiler
First of all,you say the game deisign and pacing had to adapt to a cover system,um ME1 was about a cover system aswell it was just fixed in ME2.
I don't have much to say about that, it's just how I perceived the gameplay.
Antagonist like Saren?What about the Collector general?I thought Saren and Sovereign were generally better antagonists. Sovereign actually freaked me out, with its machine coldness and ruthlesness, and you always wondered how much Turianity was left in Saren (Who can, at the end, gain some form of redemption, or not, according to your choices).
Spoiler
"3. What did we actually accomplish in ME2?
Well...nothing really. This isn't so much a plot hole as it is a plot problem. We stopped the Collectors from making a single additional Reaper that would add ONE to the coming fleet of thousands. We did not stall the actual Reaper fleet in any way, as we did in ME1. We did not expose the threat of the Reapers to the galaxy. We did not defeat any actual Reapers, just a single half-made prototype. We didn't even slow them down, or defeat an agent that was attempting to hasten their arrival. We killed a single Reaper that was not related to the original Reaper threat created in ME1. The game ends with the galaxy in the exact same situation it was in at the beginning. Sure, we learned a few things about Reapers, but we didn't actually do anything to stop or slow their arrival."

This is a question of gameplay, though I don't think it changed that much from the first one.
You get to explore a dead Reaper.You find out alot more about them than you did in the First ME.Spoiler
"Later, The Illusive Man finds a derelict Reaper. (And in classic Cerberus style, he sent a bunch of scientists on board without ever checking up on them, leaving them to die hilariously in the name of Idiot Science.) He sends you on board to get the IFF. Remember that one of the great challenges that Shepard is facing is that nobody believes in the Reapers. So here we have one, all of a sudden. Then Shepard boards it and ... blows it up? How about taking a video and putting it up on YouTube, Shepard? How about offering tours?"
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/experienced-points/8868-What-s-Wrong-with-Mass-Effect-2.2 (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/experienced-points/8868-What-s-Wrong-with-Mass-Effect-2.2)
And, for the record, I didn't feel that you learned all that much about Reapers, other than the fact that they are apparently utterly inept at invading galaxies, as is stated in one of the links I posted.
I agree that this was a really good point in the game. It was interesting learning about the Dyson Sphere that they were building and how they were split into two factions.
Thermal clips were an improvment to the weapons system, Instead of waiting for an overheated weapon to cool down, the spent thermal clip can simply be ejected and a new clip inserted for better sustained fire,whats so bad about that.I, personally, vastly preferred the originality that came with the concept of a grain of sand being superheated and flung like a bullet, over that of thermal clips. Ask yourself why they didn't have something like thermal clips in the first game? Because they were trying to be original. But this also boils down to gameplay.
The Armors actual looked way better due to the simple fact of graphical improvment so when you say generic i dont get you.There was alot more Armors in this game,some as DLC's.Look at the armours in the posters for the first game. How often do you see those almost-skin-tight designs for sci-fi action? For the sequel, we got much more commonplace shoulderpads and kneepads, and bulkier armour. But the former is just my general preference, I guess.
Way better Characters to join ur team,and you get to choose between 11,or 12 i cant remember.The dirty Dozen.The squadmate were indeed quite well written, most of them (Especially Mordin). Although I found the Dirty Dozen concept sort of cheesy.
I actually found the plot to be good.I suppose you havn't played any of the DLC's either have you.I played the Kasumi and the Firewalker ones, but I'd lost interest by the time the other two came out.
Your nitpicking too much and gathering your information from different sources,I suggest waiting for the last installment and look at the whole Universe of ME as a whole instead of complaining about it game by game.
I agree with most of your points actually, Torr- I mean, Golden Fox. ;) I guess I just don't personally see them as as big of an issue.

Oh, you should definitely play LotSB and Arrival. Overlord is great, too. But, if you were to pick just one, make it Arrival. It addresses a few of your gripes with the game.
Gosh, if the DLC's make the game even better :o I must has them!

The first half of the Kasumi one is quite fun. It's about infiltrating a party and getting to a guy's secret stash of artifacts. Firewalker was terrible, though, in my opinion. Almost no new voice acting, pointless and boring missions, and too short for its money. Controlling the Firewalker was sorta fun, at least.
Personally, Lair of the Shadow Broker was the best piece of DLC I have ever bought.
I don't how many squad mates you can get I always have a system, Tuiran Krogan done!
I always have Garrus with me, and then either Jack, Grunt or Thane.
Garrus has wonderfull imput and great aim
Grunt is a great meatsheild and wonderful and combat (still miss Wrex though)
I go for Garrus with the supporting fire and Miranda for all the Biotic shit; really helps for the removal of Shields/Armor. I'm a Soldier class.

Same, always went Soldier.
Honestly, I always simply went with the characters because of who they were, not the tactical advantages. I loved alternating between Garrus and Mordin, whose dialogue I greatly enjoyed, and I always had Tali around when she joined the Normandy.
I've always had Garrus with me as soon as I could get him in both games. My other characters were either Tali/Wrex or Thane/Grunt. I like that they are lowering the number of squad members you can choose from. I actually was a little overwhelmed in Me2 because of all the characters i liked.
My main two characters are both Soldiers. I always have Garrus in my squad, and I mix up between Grunt and Thane.
Am I the only one who is an Infiltrator?
Nope.
That's my second profile. My wimmin profile.
If i do play a game were I can shoot I normaly just stick with pistols and snipers so infeltrator was just easy to handle, has anyone really used the power ups I never use them ...
Depends what power ups you mean, if you mean the cloak ability in ME2, I use it all the time. Mass Effect 1's weapon management was much more of a hastle in the first one, so it took awhile to advance in Sniping... really useful when you do though. I kept mostly to Pistols as my primary fire. As Infiltrator, that is.
I have three Shepards: Soldier, Adept, and Engineer. I actually find the last two the most fun to play as. Few things are as satisfying as hurtling a massive ball of fire at your enemies.
For me soldier class was the best, Adrenaline burst was so useful for insanity mode, plus after you complete the game you can choose an extra power, so i just took Miranda's biotic slam power =D

So did I; throw a dude up in the air and make Miranda use Warp on him really fast and we will be obliterated; turned to shit.
Quote from: The Golden Fox on Jan 12, 2012, 10:20:24 AM
It only really hit me after looking back at 'ME1'. I noticed for the first time how many great things that game had brought with it: the innovation (Mass accelerator tech for guns, the sorta queer, yet feasible and original armour design), the concept of Spectres, the choices and decisions, the innovation of an antagonist like Saren, the Reapers, and the Geth, and the uniqueness of Commander Shepard (Not a hero like the 'DA' Warden, he felt more like part of a larger thing, rather than the sole banner of hope), and the climax.
Without even talking about your gripes with the second game, which are all subjective and therefore impossible to argue with in any reasonable way - if you're really of the opinion that any of these things about the first Mass Effect are unique or innovative in any way, then you're sorely in need of a history lesson. Mass Effect is a phenomenal game, and it does all of these things
better, in my most humble of opinions, than any other game before it - but it did none of them first. Hell, the very first thing you mentioned (mass accelerator tech for guns) was essentially used under a different name in our very own
Aliens.
The Spectres - so, you're saying that the concept of the government-sponsored uber-police that are "above the law" has
never been done before. Not ever. And Saren! Ooooooh, a bad guy with shades of grey?!? Surely, such a complex idea was never thought of prior to 2007.

Dude, f**k yeah!
I'm actually pretty happy with the fact I know nothing about ME3 aside the basics, I've watched the two announcement trailers and that is all. As soon as I get my hands on that collectors edition I'll be bunkered in my room for about 3 days lol. I kinda want to savour the game and not like rush through it in a night. So I'm gonna pick up Max Payne 3 aswell.
After playing the first mass effect again last night I thought why don't they expanded the galaxy so you have more populated planets that you can visited and do missions...like that Turain planet pavalen etc.
I think your able to do that in the ucomeing one

The same bro! I just want to keep ME3, lets say, as clean as possible before the release lol! I want to discover its features when I play it and not to spoil anything before that. I am not going to do that for ACM, but for Mass Effect.. this game is something special for me ::)

Did you upgrade everything
the ship and weapons, everyone loyalties
Thinking about that now I more then likely didn't.
I read how each romance option pans out in the next game!
I'm looking forward to what happens with my femme-Shep. She romanced both Garrus and Liara in 2. Tensions, I hope.
There is! I love drama!
I hope I don't have to choose...
All I know about Garrus is his mother has a nerve problem and needs an operation so you get to see his mother!
So, uh... I made this today:

Hmmm not sure... if it was your options that was worded then I would be on the boat
"Because its a big stupid jellyfish"
see saying that in real life is fun
I like the Kinect integration. It's subtle and actually keeps you in the action, without feeling like a gimmick. This is how it should be for real games. If I had to wave my hand to activate powers then it could get fkd.
I love how nobody really shouts out what they are doing. Where is the EMOTION!?
Just finished Mass Effect: Revelation. Will be moving on to Ascension and Retribution posthaste, and Deception when it comes out on the 31st. Was quite impressed with the first one.

Hun to realy understand you need to read mass effect Evolution before Revelation
1. Evolution (Comic)
2. Revelation (Novel)
3. Mass Effect (Game duh)
4. Incursion (Comic)
5. Redemption (Comic)
6. Ascension(Novel)
7. Mass Effect 2(Game duh)
8. Retribution (Novel)
9. Inquisition (Comic)
Oh, I read the comics as they came out, even before playing the games. I work at a comic shop, natch. Haven't finished Invasion yet, though, as the last issue just came out the other day.

I am having a problem with Mass Effect, with out realizing it I saved in an elevator on Feros yesterday. So I continue today and the elevator door is shut so the only way to get it open is go back downstairs and then back up again until it automatically opens. Well I tried that but the load screen is ...forever I let it load for an HOUR and nothing happened. I am just wondering if there is a way I can do something or do I have to start from my last saved game

Since I had to create a new Xbox Live account 6 months ago, I will be re-doing ME1 and 2 starting today.
In case anybody is interested, I go full soldier, I'm Earth-Born, I go Ruthless on the reputation. My main squad is Garrus and Wrex, I date Ashley, and, of course, I save her on Virmire.
Wow, I'm actually impressed with Prinze. Alot of actors talk about being gamers or nerds, but this guy really knows what he's talking about.
I kinda like the "broness" going on betweem Vega and Shepard, but his character looks a bit weird to me for some reason. I'll see what his character is like further in the game before he can join me and Garrus 8)
At first, I thought he looked kinda Jersey Shore-ish, if you know what I mean.

Space Sweeper forgot to mention Thane, he will be back because I already know what happens when you romance him and for that to happen he needs to be part of the team.
He's still not confirmed, noone else is.
He fackin better be!
Also, I hope they do a few more of these character vids. AND, another thing - Are any of you gonna play the demo that's being released on February 14th.
f**k yes!
I wasn't sure! I figured that obviously we are all gonna buy the hell outta this game, and that a demo wouldn't change our minds, so we'd stay away from it so it's all new come March.

The first wave failed pretty spectacularly (I bought them anyway), but the fact that these are to be released alongside the game likely means that they'll be online exclusives.

I can't say I like that poster at all. It doesn't convey any of the things that are unique about 'Mass Effect'.
I thought the giant ass reaper was pretty damn unique.

Yeah, when you put it that way there's no denying it. But it's just such an incredibly boring image for me. Giant robot + ruined city + space marine. I found the poster for the first game to be far more visually stimulating.
I'm sorry, dude. You didn't deserve that dick-ish response.
And, this isn't an official poster. This is just something I found on Deviant art that tickled my fancy. Do you have a link to the image you are talking about?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but this poster screams 'space opera', whereas the one you posted has trouble detaching itself from games like 'Gears of War'. You get a sense of how many strange alien races there are in this game, you get a nice show of some fancy space ships, Shepard exhibits a sense of command, and all of it to the nice backdrop of space. I'm probably biased, though, because I enjoyed the first game so damn much.
Here's a close-up on the image:

Get rid of male shepard, replace it with fem shep and get rid of Ashley and switch he with rex and its perfect...
After looking at Predator Queen's signature, I have to say: Turians were a genius move by the designers of 'Mass Effect'. Seriously, those guys look/sound/act so incredibly badass, I wholeheartedly wish the 'ME' trilogy had had a Turian protagonist instead.
EDIT: Maybe that is the case after all, and we're just playing a supporting character?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhLfbWdJ-UQ#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhLfbWdJ-UQ#ws)
The thing about Turians is they are the most loved species by far in the Mass Effect fan base, especially by females. Not sure why that is, but as noted via bioware forums Garrus is the top romance option for fem shep. Even one of the designers for Garrus and I quote " I think he is a favorite one when it comes to the a questionable fan art. The one you have to keep a filter on when your looking at."
Heh...

More like the fact that a video game character is more attractive than they are, haha. But seriously, I find it funny how 'fangirls' (I use the term loosely because so many of them are vicarious 'gamers', obsessed with the subject but never actually playing the game) obsess over all of these aliens (and to an almost odder extend, Kaidan), so all of the female characters except Jack the Outcast become taboo to like. To call that 'territorial' would be depressing, considering the virtual space they inhabit.
So please, can we go a little lighter on the video game alien lovin' and focus more on aspects of
the game? We'll talk more about all this Citadel 90210 stuff
after the game comes out... I'm sure.

The games wouldn't even work without aliens, you seem to believe that I think that aliens shouldn't be included... I really don't think you understand the fact that I like this series just as it is.

I like Mass Effect for its story driven gameplay,If it didn't have Alien races and mass relays i would still like it.
So would I, but without those things it wouldn't be Mass Effect as we know it. They could definitely take the template of it's gameplay to something else, but it wouldn't be recognizable... which is why I find it so strange when Queen asks if I think the game would be better off without other alien races.

Actually, I think Mass Effect is a lot like The Elder Scroll's games. Like, TES inspired this type of game. So, yeah, it can work in other situations.

I'm bettin' the demo will be the part of the game that they showed at E3. Uh, the part that's probably near the first of the game where Shepard and Anderson are fleeing from an inbound Reaper.
Or, it could be the place where the demonstrated the Knife-thingy, if you guys remember the video.
Its fleering from a reaper and then helping the female Krogen

Glad you could see it.
Anyway, I really don't see why people are complaining about Jessica Chobot; I met her at one of the Halo ODST events she was covering in Vancouver. Not only was she really cool and nice to fans, but she does play these games. I know it's rare, but she really is steps above those standard 'prompter reading hot chicks'.
Brought my preorder on Monday to make it better I got the Collecters N7 edition price Aus $109.

They are very smooth textures the lighting looks fantastic also.
but I have to ask has anyone around here ever thought that they should or could make a spin off new game with Garrus Vakarian.
Cos in his own right I think he's the most like character in the ME series and the game developers I think can clearly see that.

QuoteI don't think I've ever seen a interstellar war more thoroughly realized in a game. This is absolutely incredible; the scope is so massive that I'm having a difficult time comprehending it. Game of the year, callin' it.
Gosh, dude! I'm right there with you. In the last video, when the guy says "Your choices could lead to the salvation or destruction of entire races" I got goosebumps. This game is gonna be so epic. Just by saying that line, there could be many different outcomes to the storyline. And that's just ONE LINE!
Well. I'm sold. ;D
Though I haven't played the other ones and I'd glaly do so right now it isn't an option sadly, I have bigger fish to fry. If I can have the time of my life playing Skyrim without playing Oblivion I have faith I can enjoy ME3 without the others. Maybe one day perhaps I'll get to the others.
You'd be doing yourself a great disservice if you skip the first two. Unlike the Elder Scrolls games, these games are all literally connected. Building your character up over 2 games will make the 3rd that much more epic.
Rich dont play ME3 without playing the other two if you do,your mad.You will get ME1 and ME2 cheap anyways.
These two speak the truth. No Mass Effect should be played without the one before it. I'd say it's worse than coming into a TV show when it's already 3 seasons in.
Alright, alright. I'll try my fricken best. I have to take other priorities into consideration.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. The interactive storytelling video was awesome.

If you have the Battlefield 3 online pass thing, then on the 14th the multiplayer part of the demo(the single player part is out soon after)should be up for download on XBL and PSN.
I knew I remembered reading it somewhere
Quote
What content will be included in the Mass Effect 3 demo?
There are two sections in the Mass Effect 3 demo, both included as part of a single download: The single player section includes 2 areas: the opening level featuring the Reaper attack on Earth, and a level further into the game where Shepard travels to an alien home world to seek their assistance in the war effort. This will be approximately 1 to 2 hours of content.The co-op multiplayer section includes 2 maps: Slum and Noveria. This section will be open to players who have qualified for the early multiplayer access as of Feb 14, and will then open up to all players on Feb 17.[/b]
How do I qualify to play the co-op multiplayer section before Feb 17?
The early access program for the demo's multiplayer section begins on Feb 14, 2012To gain access to multiplayer in the demo any time between Feb 14 and when it opens up for everyone on Feb 17, a player must have met one of the following criteria:
Own Battlefield 3 and have activated BF3's Online Pass. Logging into the demo using the EA Origin Account linked to that Online Pass will automatically unlock the multiplayer section of the demo. Note that you do not have to enter a code anywhere – if you have activated your BF3 online pass, the multiplayer section of the demo will be unlocked for you when the demo goes live.Participate in an early access program that will be announced on Feb 7, 2012 – watch this site for more details.

THE RUSH OF VIDEOS. IT IS AMAZING.
It just suddenly hit me that we're nearing the end. Four years ago, I picked up the original, not really knowing what to expect; I'd heard it was good, so I decided to check it out. The world that I found on that disc had me captivated immediately. I have many fond memories of watching this story unfold before me, playing a game of the fate of galaxies. That tale is nigh over. The thought's making me almost sad.

Son of bitch! I'll have to wait until the 17th! Stupid used copies of Battlefield 3!
I think this is going to be the first game that I pass on the demo. I really want to wait for the entire experience.
Also out of curiosity, how many of you will be on the 360 with this?
I will be, I've played all my Mass Effect games on the 360.
I was so excited I almost choaked on the bottle of water I was drinking~!

I'm not doing the singleplayer, but I'm definitely trying out the multiplayer.
I'm with SpaceMarines. I don't want an ounce spoiled of the single player campaign. But the multiplayer - BRING IT!
I can't help myself on the singe player, besides it's going to be completely different once i get my hands on it on March 6th, so I ain't going to complain, but having to wait until the 17th for the multi-player is going to kill me.

You know, I've read conflicting reports on the mulitplayer. Some places I've read that the general public doesn't get the multiplayer until the 17th, on others it says that the multiplayer will only be up until the 17th. :-\
Don't see why the instant access folks won't be getting it on the 14th, would be lame for them.

Well, I'm not saying they wouldn't be getting it. Lol. What I'm saying is, if the the second report is correct, are the general public only going to get the multiplayer for one day?
No, the general public is going to begin to have access for it on the 17th. The fact that Bioware is bumping up silver memberships to gold for that reason is going to be awesome. Unless of course this has changed.

Aha. I just read that. That is pretty awesome of them to do that. Bioware are studly. And, I just read on Mass Effect.com, saying what you just said.
Wait a sec. Does this mean that when they bump up our memberships, will it be gold for all games, or just for the demo? I'm going to go look that up.
Just found an article saying that it's gold for a whole month, and I read somewhere else that all the gold membership perks will be available as well (netflix, etc.)
f**king A, awesome shit right there.
Yup all the perks too! That is awesome!
This is f**king Awesome!

It's not up yet. But it's coming today.
I almost got sucked into playing the singleplayer...but I don't want to ruin the experience, so it's strictly multiplayer for me.
Everyone tell me how it is but only multi player!
It's quite difficult...stay in cover and keep on the move and your fine. I'm playing Turian, got rid of the shotgun and switched it for an assault rifle and a pistol, what equipment you have affects the weight of your character. The combat and sounds is everything I expected it to be, constant and adrenaline pumping, there's never a moment of rest. Pistols are the best to use in my opinion. The only thing that really bugs me is that you can't choose a race and then customize it to your needs. Also you can't seem to roll as a Turian, except between cover, I hope they fix that. I'm still testing it out. I'll give a full review later on.

RUN, BITCH, RUUUUUUUN.
Full trailer premires during the next The Walking Dead. Excellent.
Just finished the demo.... one... word.. can describe it.. - SEX!!!
The demo was fackin' amazing! I'm gonna spend countless hours on the co-op missions alone.
The multiplayer in this game is f**king awesome! It keeps you on your feet so well! And its hard as shit! Think you can go all "Lone ranger" well you can't (Well I can, because im f**king awesome) Once your starting off its pretty difficult, but once you've leveled up your character things become so much more fun. The leveling system is great...the weapon mods are cool also. Its also cool with the melee system also. Hold in B and you bring out your wrist blade and seriously ruin the enemies day, you can also just bash f**k out them with your gun, which again is interesting because its not just a simple repeated elbow to the face like in ME2. this time its like a combo. The enemies are smart. Always flanking you, coming through from the ceilings, from the bottom of cliffs. The big bastard mech, the "Atlas" can prove to be a real bitch, its good that you dont need to go through Shields, Barriers and then health like in ME2. Missile Launchers just destroy everybody but ammo is scarce, litterally, you cant just go and pick up some off the ground, nor does it reset after each round, you need to but an equipment package from the store that will hopefully have medi-gel (Which revives your character if you get downed) and some weapon unlocks or mods or even some character mods. I haven't unlocked any new weapons simply by leveling up, but Prime got a Phalanx Cannon from ME2.
Haven't tried the singleplayer and nor do i plan to.
All in all the graphics are awesome, Music is epic, gameplay runs smoothly.
Bring on Mass Effect 3!
I lied to myself, I couldn't resist. I don't have BF3, so when I got the demo, all I could do was the campaign.
Oh god.
It's so good. Everything screams 'epic finale', and makes you feel properly f**ked through and through right for the get-go. And the soundtrack... just on the main menu, you know... it's incredible. Whether it's through the dialogue, the voice acting, the soundtrack, the cinematography, or the events going down, the emotion this game evokes is truly astounding. I've only gotten this feeling watching stuff like The Return of the King.
Just listen to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-tCFQkYD4Y#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-tCFQkYD4Y#ws)
And I don't compare it to The Return of the King for no reason; if I was to break it down to a metaphor, Earth is Minas Tirith, the Reapers are Sauron's forces, and the galaxy is Middle-earth. And holy Christ does it send off that epic 'all or nothing' vibe perfectly.
Good god, it's truly an accomplishment that BioWare can constantly top themselves with each entry like this. I don't feel like I've spoiled anything for myself, we'd already seen all of these things during demos and trailers, but with bits and pieces filled in between, it felt highly rewarding. Can't wait until I get some Multiplayer access. The shooting controls are also hilariously better than any of the others, particularly ME1's; I've had some difficulty navigating, being allowed the ability to roll and getting a bit carried away with it easily, but it should be something to get used to. The whole combat control is tight as hell; I'd say even moreso than Gears of War's.
It feels really good to have that Collector's Edition pre-order done with right now...
I'm sitting listening to that track on repeat right now.
Im stuck, I cant choose which person to romance for my ME3 playthough, I've played the game so many times and have romanced each character, but i like them all equally, (Except tali) Im stuck between Liara, Ashley and Miranda.
My femshep is sorted with Garrus, so no problem here ;D
Liara has always been a tight second to Miranda in terms of cool chicks in the series go... which is ironic because I romanced Ashley in the first game. Stupid horny Shepard. Really sucked when it came to ME2 though because Miranda was introduced and she was cool as f**k, more of a reason to give less f**ks about Ash were introduced, but then Liara got this awesome LotSB storyline with an ending that made me feel like bittersweet poopoo because I had 'romanced' Miranda.
Oh well, if I pull a 180 in this one and end up romancing her, it can be passed off as one of those 'she was right there all along' type deals. :laugh:
As for femme Shep, it's just been pure Garrus the whole time.
My Shepard is all about Liara, but couldn't resist getting with Miranda when the opportunity presented itself. Hopefully it will result into an interesting confrontation. :D
Femshep is all about Garrus.
As for the demo, I wish we could spend some time on Earth pre-Reaper attack. It just seems kind of anti-climatic to finally see Earth than leave 20 minutes later. Being there longer would sell the tragedy of having to leave all the more.

SpaceSweeper, on the 17th, you should join Sierra and I on the co-op missions. Only two maps, but it's addicting as f**k.

I actually expected something completely different. I thought it was gonna be objective based, and proceed like a normal game would. But, the wave format gets so damn intense. It's brutal.
I get the impression that there'll be more objective-based things in the actual game.
Yeah, at the bottom of one of the menu's in multiplayer it says game type, im guessing one will be missions and the other will be the survival mode.
I've reached level 14 Sentinel with my Turian and level 10 with my Soldier Human, I just want to get a Turian soldier and i'll be as happy as a gypsies dog with two cocks ;D

Hey, if you just go and create a EA origin account, you should be able to play sooner, like right after you create it. That's the prompt I got before I started playing the multiplayer.

Already had one; unfortunately, the hook is that you have to have Battlefield 3 as part of your registered EA games detected to play early... which I, sadly, do not.

But I'm gone all of next week. So we'll have to make that Friday
really count.
Uhm, what time will you two, the Space brothers, be on? You both have school, right?
I ask, because I can either do it early in the day, or late at night. At around noonish on Friday the day turns into MW3 with my pops until my brother gets home, then it becomes a family night. But, at like, 10, my dad and brother go to bed, and I'll be on for awhile.
I actually have no school Friday. But I may be doing something during the day. Nothing's set yet.
I should add you on my 'Box list....

Yes. Yes, you should. I'm Prime113. I'm gonna guess you are...FlusherThe Jack? I was searching Sweepers friends list last night and that name showed up, and I remember him calling you Jack when you guys did that commentary over The Ghoul's story.

I looked up all combinations of Space, Sweeper (and all related conjugations), and Women. I could find it nowhere.
Probably because it'd be associated with fatalities and sweeping, rather.

The M-6 Carnifex is f**king amazing in this game, pop muf**kas heads off like they were nothing!
For some reason I can't stop playing with the Drell Vanguard in the multiplayer. This char/class combination is so addicting and badass to master.
I like the Drell Vanguard, especialy when you hit a Guardian with Pull and their shield goes flying away. While your other squadmates will be struggling to bring them down you can come along, take away the shields and suddenly you feel like such a credit to the team.

Razer just announced a new line of slick-looking Mass Effect 3-branded peripherals, including a Imperator gaming mouse, Vespula dual-sided gaming mouse mat, BlackWidow Ultimate gaming keyboard, Onza Tournament Edition Xbox 360 controller, and Chimaera Xbox 360 gaming headset.
Spoiler
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) Me Gusta!
I just bought the first two games, and I pre-ordered the 3rd one. I am officially part of the Mass Effect crew.
Three of you, get on the demo. Let's squad up against some Cerberus assholes.
I am 16 lvl vanguard so far. I hope I will unlock the Turian Sentinel until I lvl up to 20lvl my Drell Vanguard because I want to try it out very much.
Tlli got the Turian sentinel really early on in the game, it's cool how you can customize literally everything about them. Your best just buying recruit packs to get character unlocks , the veteran ones just give you quite rare weapons/upgrades
I noticed something to do with character unlocks, which may or may not be correct. The only characters I have come across are obviously the starting ones but also the ones that are third from the left on the character select screen (Krogan soldier, Turian sentinel, Salarian infiltrator, quarian engineer, asari adept and drell vanguard). I might be mistaken, but it seems that not all of the characters are in the demo (I would have been surprised if they had been). Whether or not I'm right about this, I don't know.
I've had a few bizarre glitches happen to me. On two occasions I've glitched out of the map, being bounced around until I finally fall under the map and into the nothingness beyond. That and occasionally I'll be stuck in place at the beginning of a game, only able to move through diving/rolling. I also don't like the big jump in difficulty between Bronze and Silver. If you ask me, they should nerf Silver a tad and perhaps add a harder difficulty, such as Platinum or something. It's clear some people don't know how hard the game is, as they'll join a Silver challenge level game, die and then quit instantly after. It's annoying, because a team of four might wind up a team of two (me and some other guy), making the game even harder than it already was.
Just played 5.5 hours of multiplayer with SpaceSweeper and SpaceMarines, with a little bit of ShadowPred at the end. Epic is a freakin understatement to the night we had.

Sorry I never got to squad up with you guys last night, I actually had to get some sleep in me because I had a 15 mile run to do today.
Should be able to get some done tonight but :)
Had a good little session with Sierra. Though, it's starting to piss me off that I can't get either Drell character. :(
Yeah it was fun, though those Phantoms are absolute c**ts.
Tell me about it, I think you can only unlock characters buying the Veteran Packs though, Everytime I get a character unlock with the recruit pack, its always for the human starter kits.
Total bitches, dude.
They should make another pack called "Character Pack". Make it worth, like, 30k or something. That way, you can consistently earned characters.
I want my Drell, damnit.
Here is some punishment gameplay. I mean for me and my buddies Bronze is not a challenge anymore :-\ Those Cerberus guys are like target practice at the funfair

Try Gold. Have fun. ;D
When all of us in my party hit the 20lvl we will go for Gold. I am 19lvl so far. We will stick to Silver for now.
Gold is ridiculous, man. It made me cry. ;-;
Then again, I'm only level 18...
Me and a few friends playing Gold. :D

Jesus, you guys did really well. What was your guys' average character level?
I was either 16 or 17, Khristianity was a 19 I think.
Typhlosion was 20 and the other guy was an 18 I think.
And thanks for the feedback. :)
How is the quality?
Quality is f**king amazing; forgot to mention on that, came to mind in the first couple seconds and got lost over the 23 minutes. :laugh:
That's one hell of a capture card, I actually thought it was on PC and you were using Fraps HD at first... but then I saw the controller and was basically like: :o
Wow, thanks! I'm using a Hauppauge HD PVR. I'm using PS3 settings to record, haha.
I'm probably going to upload some Drell gameplay today.
I've seen some pretty crazy shit with the paid HD version... up to 1080p.
So I am guessing we all saw the commercial for it during The Walking Dead? Because I did and I nearly lost it!

Yeah.
We have two teams, an engineer and a sentinel. Then a Soldier and a Vanguard. With the tactics that we used, a team on the top floor and a team on the bottom, between us we see around ten or twelve Phantoms before we die.
Btw I forgot to say that Take Back The Earth trailer makes A:CM CGI trailer look pathetic and lame :-\
You can't really be hating on A:CM for their trailer. They aren't as well funded and Mass Effect is one of EA's greatest selling titles, they'd pour the money in to have CGI like that.
I am not hating, I am just sayin' ;D

The better tactic for the 11 wave is not to go back to the LZ. Just stand in your spot and fight as normal, no matter on what diff you are playing. Letting you surrendered from the all sides, with no where to run at the LZ is very bad move (I don't have in mind on bronze, but on silver and gold this can cost you the win)

It was TWO(2) minutes longer. I'm not really sure how that doesn't make it an extended cut.
Half of the new footage is of the kid running around with the toy ship,they could of just put that in the first trailer anyways,its not like its integral to the game.The footage of the soldier shooting husks from inside Big Ben was already shown,yes there is a few new scenes of the husks but that is really it.
Mass Effect 2 had a much grander Extended trailer.

LoL i drove down to the store and ordered my CE.EA are f**ks and i wouldn't be surprised if they had a secret character.
If there is a secret DLC which I can obtain "only" by pre ordering the CE, well then I will just edit my save game to get this char. We all know EA's bullshit so this char is already on the disc for "faster download".
Well, tits. My local gamestop is sold-out of Collectors edition and I have already per-ordered the game from there. God damnit.

Yeah, you're probably right. We have a wal-mart and Hastings here along with the gamestop. This game is pretty big, though. Hmmm...
And, if I cancel my pre-order I won't get the bonus gun and armor. And, if the other stores do run out of collectors editions, then I'll be screwed out of everything. Guess I should have just per-ordered it 14 months ago.

Typical EA logic:
"You bought the standard edition? Tough! Now you're going to have to spend another $10 on an important piece of DLC! Muhahahahaha! And all it took was to cut this character from the game in the first place!"
If you ask me, EA seems a lot like the evil Empire of the video game industry. Them and Activision.

:laugh: Well, honestly, I wouldn't mind spending ten bucks on the DLC, as I would actually save ten bucks from buying the CE. I just really didn't like what it had to offer. BUT, the thing that gets me is, is they are saying the only way you can download it, is if you have the Collector's Edition.

Or you could just digital download the Deluxe edition off origin,you get the DLC and weapons with it if you preorder.
EA are pricks anyways,they constantly churn out lies.They told people if you preorder ME3 you will get BF3 for nothing,then only yesterday,they retracted their statement and without a reason either,and people i know pre-ordered because they would get BF3 for nothing.Same with the BF1943 scandal for PS3,they're just lowlifes.

That new squad member is supposed to have an African accent, but it sounds more like a stereotypical Jamaican/Rastafarian sort of accent, so understandably a lot of people are making fun of it.

I'm sure the whole idea of using FemShep to "continue" his species will turn up in a lot of fan-fics after the game's release, thanks to the more perverted minded people out there (such as myself ;D).

Well, yeah, but that wasn't my entire point. It was that, if I do cancel it, and no other store has the Collectors addition, Ill lose EVERY bonus. Do you know what I mean?
Why you dont buy the CE after the release day? You may lose the pre order bonuses but you will have the CE bonus items.
Cus I'm an impatient bastard and need to play this game March 6th. :laugh: And, the only bonus item I want from the CE is the new DLC. The other stuff didn't really interest me.
I know I'm going to love the game but the whole jamaican protean squad member is the dumbest thing Bioware has ever put in one of their games. WHY? Whoever thought making a protean sound like a rasta was a good idea should be shot in the balls and then fired from the gaming industry. YES I MAD.
Well thats me officailly ready for Mass Effect 3. Every squadmember and Crew members survived the suicide mission, All DLC done and every side mission completed.
Bring It on!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
On a side note, I haven't heard anything about the prothean squadmate, I'd rather wait till I play the game before I relay an opinion.
You know, the whole Zaeed launch day DLC was annoying enough, but this shit EA and Bioware are pulling is f**king insulting.
Spoiler
How do you reduce a prothean to a DLC squadmate? They are one of the most important species in the entire mythology; finding one alive should be a massive discovery. But no, its DLC which Bioware has declared "unimportant" to the overall story.
Talk about a giant middle finger to consumers. The video game industry is the only industry where we let them get away with this; any other industry's consumers would be pitching a giant fit over something similar. Imagine if movies or books made you pay extra for another character, people would call bullshit over that in an instant. And I'm part of the problem, because if I had a stronger will I wouldn't give them my money for this, but because I have to play this game, I'll willing to compromise. And that is why they are able to get away with it.
Remember the days when games came complete out of the box, and you could just put it in and start playing instead of having to put in 5 passwords with a controller just so you can have an extra gun or outfit? Good times.
That is EA for you man,Bioware probebly were gonna throw it in the game anyway seeing as the Protheans are an important part of the story its just that EA knew people would buy it.They're robbing bastards.
Activision is even greedier than EA though.

I think you missed the part where the accent isn't Jamaican.
For f**k's sake, people, you act as if he's refering to the Commander as "mon" and asking him if he'd like to "smoke'up sum'd ganja mon" and trying to incite "one love". Space Israelis got off easy, it'd seem.
And the voice actor doing the role is does an awesome job, so there's no place for bitching on that front.

Completely agree, what finding a living Prothean represents is f**king substantial. I don't know how they could even
plan to have people go through the whole game without that discovery taking place. How stupid.

Thank Christ for a voice of reason.
Well, Djimon has an AFRICAN accent. Jamaican and African accents aren't the same. If it was African, as Djimon's would be, it would be awesome.
EDIT: Sorry, I haven't actually heard the voice of the Prothean yet. I've only taken peoples word for it. Their word said it was Jamacian...In my opinion that would be stupid. I mean, who wouldn't think that a Jamacian Prothean wouldn't be stupid? :laugh:
And, SpaceSweeper, please, don't try and turn this racial. It's not. If it was a dumb white hick Prothean, I would be upset. If it was really any accent that sticks out, it would come off as unreal and I would be upset.
Personally, I think they should just leave the Protheans out. But, since there is one, I think they should mix several voices, or run it through some programs or something along those lines.
And, I am incredibly upset that they are only doing this as a DLC both personally and story wise(Its a f**kin PROTHEAN). At least most of you will get it several months before the rest of us.

Yes, that's what I mean.
Israeli accents don't stick out and sound absurd. But, a Jamaican one, if it was indeed that, would be. And, that's why people are complaining. Not because it is a black man voicing it.

What? That wasn't supposed to have a racial undertone, it was saying that the Space Israelis (Quarians, needless to say), managed to avoid any criticism for having Israeli accents. This doesn't have anything to do with preference of race, it's the notability of the accents... and the irony that everybody wrongly notes it as Jamaican. Mon.

Yes, if he was using Jamaican lingo, it'd quite absurd. But he's not, and it's not even the same accent, so we can all drop it.

Well I can't speak for Sweeps but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with accents. It's the fact that nobody cared about the accents of the Quarians, yet everyone seems hung up on the Prothean accent.

It's all about absurdity. The Quarians having Israeli accents wouldn't be absurd. They could have Western African, Brazilian, Russian etc. as long as it didn't sound absurd or over the top.
Yes, I will admit, when I hear people say Jamaican accent, I go to the stereotype. And, I do apologize. BUT, since it is not like that, I will be dropping it. I'm sure it will sound fine, and I won't even be able to have the f**kin' character for a couple months after release anyways....Then Ill do more bitching about the character :laugh:
Sorry.
EDIT: Protheans have more to do with the story than most races in the Mass Effect series. That's why people are getting hung up on it. They were suppose to be a grand civilization...then, when they do finally introduce a speaking Prothean, people think it's gonna speak like the Jamaicans from Predator 2.
There, now I'm done.
Don't worry 'bout it, just a misunderstanding.

Sweeeeet.
Now, we're gonna need to figure out how to fit 6 players onto one bed - I mean game. ;D :laugh:
I can squeeze.
This will probably be my last weekend playing the Co-Op demo as I want to have a week or so to hype.
So, if anyone wants to get a game together its gotta be Friday night or Saturday night.
I hate the fact you get it a day earlier... >:(
Damned Americans! ;D
Bahahahaha. It's what we do. ;D
And, I thought the U.K. didn't get it until the 9th?
I have my contacts ;)
Ahhhh. You sly devil you. :laugh:
Got a question for you guys: Do you think any main characters will be killed off? Like, it's part of the story? I was thinkin' about this early while I was playing ME2 and beastin' around with Garrus...then I thought "What if they killed him off in 3?".

If they killed him off in 3, I would send Bioware an angry email. If that didn't work, I'd go find the office of that Casey Hudson guy and pee in the top drawer of his desk.
According to the leak,
Spoiler
Cerberus assassin Kai Leng can kill Liara and Miranda, though I'm not 100% sure. Apparently you can save them. From what I hear, Kai Leng will get a number of opportunities to kill squad members, but I think such deaths are easily prevented.
On the topic of the demo, I would still be playing it if I actually unlocked what I want. I must have bought thirty veteran packs and not actually unlocked the one character I actually want. The whole random unlock system is incredibly frustrating.
Gosh, I feel you on that last part, QS. I just wanted to unlock a Drell, I didn't care which class, I just wanted a f**kin' DRELL! But, never got one.

Well, I wanted a Turian Sentinel. Do you think I ever got him? (I was going to name him Spartus Levon, since I thought that seemed like a cool-sounding turian name).
I'm gonna go with....Hell no...? I can dig that name. I actually didn't come up with unique names for my characters. My main guy is named after me, and my second character is Aidan...cus I like that f**kin' name.
Naming characters does seem kind of pointless, though. Still, I suppose it adds to the whole "role-playing" element of the game.
It would make more sense if the names appeared over the characters. But, the Gamertags do. SMH.

I have a reason why I don't like her, she is over controlling she wants to control meh ship! She is also very cold to you even when you try to be nice unless you help her out with her sister. She wants your pity because she is genetically engineered to be perfect. To me that deserves no pity she should be damn happy because some girls go threw there whole lives striving to be perfect but never will because of there build or whatever.

Nnnooo... she's the XO; your assigned she's second in command and she's there to question extreme decisions, not 'take over your ship'. I've seen people get up in arms over her questioning sending a biotic into the engineer's position (results in death) in the end assault-- really?
Quote from: Predator Queen on Feb 24, 2012, 01:55:08 AM

You'd think somebody would be distracted with the fact that somebody is out to kidnap her sister on her mind... Honestly, there's nothing actually 'cold' about her minus a reluctance to talk when you've discussed everything- "there's a lot to do" isn't any different from "I'm in the middle of some calibrations".
Quote from: Predator Queen on Feb 24, 2012, 01:55:08 AM

Again, no. If you choose to pursue a romantic relationship with her, or get to know her better, she brings up the fact that she admires Shepard for being the way she/he is naturally, while she only has her outstanding traits because she was genetically engineered. It's a tragic character depth that she hasn't gained her exterior strengths on a level of experience; the redeeming point of view that Shepard introduces to her is that who she is as a person defines her and not her genes.
Quote from: Predator Queen on Feb 24, 2012, 01:55:08 AM
To me that deserves no pity she should be damn happy because some girls go threw there whole lives striving to be perfect but never will because of there build or whatever. She had no right to be a bitch.
See the last point. It's not "complaining about being perfect", it's her not bragging about it. The best part is that she initially comments on her genetic perfection as if she feels confident about it, but it turns out it's a complete insecurity... much like the 'fangirls' that spit venom at her for all the wrong reason, chosing not to understand her character.
I think by now, you may have noticed that I like Miranda's character a great deal. ;)

Oh, the
Reapers? You could've just said that. But yeah, it's that or eveybody loses, so...
Hey, I'd take it as an alternate ending. I just get bugged by "Humanity Saves the Day" endings, although I imagine this will atleast be a big team effort.
But still, the Reapers do this for how long, and then Humanity shows up and it's all like, "Oh man, the Reapers can do nothin against man."

Isn't it clear? Human are SPESHUL!
That and the Reapers overall threatening nature has declined across the games. In ME1, Sovereign made a somewhat intimidating foe. In ME2, Harbinger was a Large Ham with a few innuendo filled lines ("Preserve Shepard's body if possible", "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL") and he was often boasting about how he was going to destroy humanity ("You fight against the inevitable").
In the ME3 demo, the Reaper invasion of Earth is rather underwhelming. It's less of an invasion and more of a "OH HAI WE'RE HERE NOW" sort of thing.
Is that a mistake on Bioware's part, or intentional?
When you introduce an intimidating foe and just one at that, presenting it as hard to beat it (it takes a lot to bring down Sovereign) makes it look like the good guys have their work cut out for them. In ME3, we have hundreds of Reapers, presumably in an effort to make things "epic". It doesn't help that Harbinger was hard to take seriously in ME2 (it sounded like he had an unhealthy fascination with Shepard). The more of these bad guys, the less threatening one of them is. Of course there's probably going to be a "destroy Reapers" button at the end of the game.
According to what I've read about the leak,
Spoiler
There is some sort of Prothean designed weapon called "the Crucible" that is intended to destroy the Reapers. It seems like a case of "Sudden Superweapon Syndrome" as I like to call it, since not once in the previous two games was it mentioned. Things might have been changed since the leak and I could be wrong about this superweapon, though.
You guys are gonna hate me, but I'd take Ashley over Miranda any day of the week...

So would I. Miranda has a face that borders on "Uncanny Valley" territory.

But....she was such a racist towards my alien crew mates... even Kaidan gave up his hate for turians... I romanced Liara by the way, I don't know why but when the romance part came up I laughed and giggled thinking it was silly.
Anyway it either up to Ashley or to Liara. If you were PC gamers instead of console ones, you should have know that in the save files any other romance different from Liara or Ashley is marked as "No Romance". So the short version - if you romanced anybody in ME2, this will lead to no romance outcome in ME3. If you have romance with Liara/Ashley this is the other possible outcome ;)

Not true; only on the level that they wont be counted as a squadmate. BioWare said that there'd be a 'satisfying conclusion' to all concievable romance options.
I don't think many people would appreciate their Shepards getting short-changed when it comes to romance options.

Ok then - download Gibbed Mass Effect Save Editor, download some saves with different Romance options such as - romanced Miranda, Tali, Ashley, Liara and see for yourself. 2-5 min appearance of past romance is nothing. I am talking about some major romance event in the main story.
lolyeah, I'm sure BioWare is going to totally forget that plotline just because they're not part of your crew. Please, if you've got some fact-based evidence, do present it. I'm really sure a "satisfying conclusion" and "conflict" will take place in the duration of 2-5 minutes.
Most every char member from ME2 was just placeholder/just for ME2. I doubt we will use anybody in our crew in ME3 for more than 1-2 missions.
Just got up to round 11 solo on bronze mode with my Turian Sentinel. about 45 seconds left I got overrun >:
Im going to try again and just keep up the opposite side of the map from the evac zone and then run back when there's like 30 seconds left on the clock.

Dude, you're such a stud! I got to, like, 6 I think by myself. :D
Its pretty easy to solo on bronze with Infiltrator, Drell Vanguard, Asari Adept or Krogan soldier and from Sierra's report - with Sentinel too.

You can't forget about Garrus and Tali. They're pretty much confirmed to be squadmates. That and the leaked script I read had a lot of dialogue between Shepard and Garrus (romance-wise), as well as some stuff to do with Miranda's romance.
Here's a bit, if you're interested:
Spoiler
Shepard: It's incredible.
Garrus: I'd be lying if said I didn't hope it would inspire a certain...mood.
Shepard: Something on your mind?
Garrus: (hesitant) It seemed like you needed some time to figure...us out. Just wondering if you found your answer. (looks at her) Are you ready to be a one-turian kind of woman?
Shepard: The only thing that made leaving Earth bearable was knowing you were out there somewhere.
Garrus: I felt the same way. The worst part about the galaxy going to hell would've been never getting to see you again.
Shepard: Well, here I am. Exactly where I want to be. I love you, Garrus Vakarian.
Garrus: (surprised and nervous) Wow. The vids Joker gave me... well, they never got this far. There was the part about sleeping together, but this...I don't exactly know what to do...
Shepard: You grab the girl and kiss her like you mean it.
Garrus: That I can do.
Shepard: And rather well. Who needs a vid when you've got me?
A bit fan-servicey, I think.
They can send copies of the game to space and they still charge for day 1 DLC.

Short-changing the people who romanced a character in ME2 just wouldn't be fair, would it?

That's an established character's transformation; absolutely cannot be skipped over, seeing as it changes the entire arc of the character.
As for the Prothean, there's a possibility that he could be found amongst
more Protheans and he's simply one willing to fight alongside you. This isn't a spoiler, I should mention, just speculation.

I've got two whole CDs of their stuff on my hard drive. I guess I just really like epic sounding music 8). Two Steps From Hell compose stuff for trailers, so understandably it has to sound as epic as possible.

Despite my opinion of the Day 1 DLC, and my tainted opinion of Mass Effect 2, these two videos did a amazing job of rekindling my excitement for the game. Wonder if I can play through ME and ME2 before the 6...
People have a right to be annoyed at Day 1 DLC that costs $10. If you get the Standard Edition, that pretty much means you're missing out on this unless you fork out more money. Not to mention those people who don't have Xbox Live, who end up getting short-changed greatly (I didn't have Xbox Live until July last year). The game should be good, but it seems corporate greed is getting the better of Bioware who are being pressured into doing such things by EA, the Evil Empire of the video game industry.

Sorry. I'm not sure when it is officially shutting down, that's was just my decision so I didn't get burnt out on the multiplayer before the actual game came out...But, after last nights session with Sierra, I realized that I will never get bored of this game. So. Amazing!
Demo shuts down on the 2nd.
There's suppose to be a MP reveal before then. Quoted from a Bioware Employee on the ME3 forums.

Halo Reach already did this... both aspects (scared people before/during invasion and the big goddamn heroes fighting back)...
...and better. This was quite pointless and overdone. I just want my in-game launch trailer, please. Something like Mass Effect 2's; there was so much natural emotional power from that one, a lot of the stuff now is just full-on blasting opera and kind of undersells the tone that the actual game will be selling properly. None of this CGI or Live Action stuff excites me.
I just want to play the f**king game!
Also does anybody have any information on whether or not all out XP and stuff in the MP Demo is carried into the final game? I'd imagine not, so im not really bother with the game that much anymore. Dont want to overplay it and become bored of it.

Yes, but the key word was "every".
Besides, if the leaked script excerpts I've read are any indication, most of the ME2 romances have decent conclusions.

No, Garrus will never be expendable.
Everyone is expendable.
I don't see Garrus dying, simply because...he's Garrus.
Even if he died in the suicide mission, I'd just assume he's hiding and not actually dead.

Really, you wouldn't go dressed as Orinia? ;)
Hmm...I've never been one for getting dressed up like that.
THINKING OF GOING AS MIRANDA; DONT KNOCK DIS BITCH.
P:<
I get the feeling that if I dressed up, I'd probably get mugged outside the store.
Only if you go as Kaidan.
I GOT MY DREEEELLLLLLL! WHOOOOOOOO! So f**kin happy! Ask Sierra and Fry, I was in jubilation. They're so badass. The run incredibly fast, and when you a melee attack, you kick the shit outta guys.

The vanguard is not a good choice for Gold run. Not against this enemy.
I really like how the species feel different. Krogans are powerhouses and really emphasize up close melee fighting.

So, I'm currently playing through ME1 as a soldier again, making sure that I've done everything how I want for ME3. And I've decided to finally try a different class for ME2. Can't decide between Vanguard, Infiltrator or Adept. I love using the weapons in Mass Effect, which is why I've always stuck with and enjoyed being a Soldier. But, I want to mix things up a bit, and see what else I can do.
Was wondering if I could get some peoples opinions on their favorite classes, maybe help me figure out what im doing.
Vanguards are fun, but are hard to play as on the harder difficulties. I did a run through on ME2 as an Infiltrator on Hardcore difficulty, as the Tactical Cloak ability is more often than not a life-saver. Soldiers are a bit unremarkable, capable of using every type of weapon in ME2 (save submachine guns) as well as having numerous ammunition powers. In ME3, Soldiers are even less remarkable since all classes can use all the differnet weapons (though Soldiers can carry more with less of a cooldown penalty).
They launched a copy of mass effect 3 in Berlin Germany an hour ago. I called my cousin and said if he gets it for me I will love him forever!

Apparently the Bioware forums have exploded with fanboy/fangirl rage (not a new occurrence) in the wake of the reveal of the game's endings. From what I hear,
Spoiler
Every single ending pretty much sucks. Shepard dies in nearly all of them, his/her love interest will get separated from him/her forever, etc. Now, I don't mind Downer Endings and had this just been one game with one bunch of characters, I would not have a problem. However, people have been following these characters for two, going onto three whole games. Not many people are going to be terribly thrilled to discover that most of the choices they've made along the way amount to shit in the end, with the galaxy being screwed from almost anything Shepard does.
Then again, Bioware could be trolling everyone.

If you live in the UK and have preordered Mass Effect 3 from Game, You will not be getting it anymore. Even if you pre-ordered it, due to credit issues they can not stock the amount of games necessary. This is for those who pre-ordered online and instore all across the UK.

Thankfully I got my Collectors Edition not instore from Game or Gamestation.
They probably won't recover from that, then. They were silly to accept preorders in the first place if they couldn't, you know, get the preorders to people.

I would say that's it for them then. Which is very worrying. They're the biggest specialist chain in Britain.
Not just Game, also Gamestation. They'll both be going into administration soon, and f**k knows what will happen then.

What annoys people the most about the endings is the contrived way in which the Normandy crew gets separated from Shepard.
That and apparently at one point towards the end there are flashbacks, including one featuring Shepard's love-interest. With this flashback, it only shows ME1 love interests and none from ME2. If you didn't romance anyone in ME1, then it'll glitch and default to a flashback of Liara. I have a feeling a lot of hardcore fans are going to be upset over this little detail.
But as I've said, we've really got no idea if this is the case until we've played the game ourselves. When that is done, I shall deliver my judgement upon the game fairly. 8)

Exactly what I was thinking! And the conference room (and it's purpose) right before the War Room reminds me of the The Quorum of Twelve conference room on Colonial One.
Doesn't look like there is a Mako or Hammerhead in the hanger area.

This. If there is a major game release, that's where I go to pre-order it. They have yet to let me down.
Kinda wish I had pre-ordered in store so I could pick it up on midnight.
Down in Australia, the website I pre-ordered from still has copies last time I checked. Of course, I have to wait a week for it to get delivered to me since it ships on release day.

What the hell are you?
I mean, obviously it's not Miranda; we already know Miranda has largely the same suit she had before, and this one has no hex pattern, a more highlighted 'zipper' line, different material between the head and shoulders, and seems to have a pinkish-brown tint to it (though it could be the lighting). My guess? It's probably Oriana.
We've already seen Miranda blasting a motherf**ker out a window... I can only assume it's her dad, so it'd make sense to have Oriana around. And seeing as she's been genetically modified as well, seeing her in an action oriented role like this isn't a stretch.
It seems the Illusive Man has been downgraded from a Magnificent Bastard to a Card Carrying Villain. He spends billions bringing Shepard back to life, now he's spending billions trying to kill him/her. It must have been part of his Master Plan all along.
Illusive man was always a villian,after all he is Cerberus,nothing new.

Hey guys what class are you going to use for the Singleplayer? In ME2 I was soldier but now I think going Vanguard, hmmm ???
Soldier is my base characters class. Like, that's MY character. But, I also played through ME1 and ME2 with an Adept, and they are pretty badass, too.
I see it as boiling down to this:
Soldier: blow shit to pieces with big guns
Engineer: hurtle great balls of fire at your enemies
Adept: use the f**king Force
I've played through as them all, and they're all very satisfying, but in different ways. Personally, I think I preferred Engineer and Adept over Soldier.

EDIT: Just read the little blurb about an infiltration unit. So I guess it could be possible.
This art is just a concept, the same goes for the text I guess. So maybe they changed some "features" and the look of her ::)

The Illusive Man was neither villain nor good guy, believing that the "end justifies the means". He was a careful planner and an interesting character at that, clearly using Shepard for his own ends. To have him reduced to a secondary villain and Reaper flunkie is a significant downgrade.
3. f**kin'. Days. I am getting so giddy.
We all had so much fun playing the demo, which only had two maps and one enemy. When the full game comes out, there's gonna be at least 3 enemies and, I'm thinkin 10 or so maps. I truly can not wait to experience many epic nights defeating some Cerberus, Geth, Indoctrinated, or any other maf**kers who want some with you guys.
I would be happy to play with you guys but all of you are console players so I can't.

I had 2 of them - Falcon and Jasper. The Falcon got E74 error and I had to sell the Jasper when I was getting my newest car.
Forgot how much of a pain in the ass Mass Effect 2 is. So much to do, and it feels like I have so little time to actually do it all.
Here's an interesting and recent article concerning the game:
http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/03/bioware-co-created-mass-effect-3-with-the-fans-says-hudson/ (http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/03/bioware-co-created-mass-effect-3-with-the-fans-says-hudson/)
It smells like damage control to me, after the leaks and Day 1 DLC fiasco. That and Mr. Hudson voices his surprise at Garrus' popularity and demand to make him a Love Interest (did it ever occur to you, Casey Hudson, that maybe it was because Garrus was one of the most interesting characters in the first game?)
Now, I'm looking forward to this game as much as anyone else on this thread. However, I have been keeping up with news concerning it and stuff written on other forums, such as the Bioware Social Network (a wrecthed hive of scum and villainy). It's really beginning to look like Bioware are preparing for some serious damage control. Sure, the game will make millions but they're beginning to alienate some of the hardcore fans.

Just finishing up my final playthrough of Mass Effect 2 before the finale. f**k me, what a beautiful game. The emphasis on character and the main espionage theme may keep this as my favorite episode of the story... but then again, I'm a sucker for a good 'hopeless' intergalactic war story.

I'm getting better and better at the multiplayer demo for ME3.
It took me a bit to get used to it because
A. This is still my first real Xbox experiences I have not owned one until this Christmas and only played it a handful of times at friend's house before owning it. (Mass Effect, Halo, Darksiders)
B. Mass Effect is my first game for it and to me that should never being a starting game. Way to much to chew on.
C. This is also my first real shooting game experiences, never was really into games that used guns.
D. My first multiplayer online experience. I never played with other people besides close friends and that is like Mario party or Mario Cart and Super Smash brothers stuff.
So I have all that against me making the worlds Biggest NOOB on xbox. But somehow I end up surpassing my expectations and now I am kicking ass and taking names.
I haven't even given the multiplayer a try. I played the first demo level and then when the second one started it seemed like it was deeper into the game so I shut it off.

Indeed he did. Which works out since I can get it for about $14 (and part 2 for the same price, if not lower by the time I finish part 1) and by the time I get to part 3 it will likely be a $20 greatest hits title! I'll just have to be weary of spoilers along the way.

Anyone with a PC from UK/Europe that has pre-loaded ME3 on origin can play it same time as America,so if anyone is intrested PM me and i'll walk you through it.
Origin let me download the sountrack and im downloading the Digital Art books its 1.1 gigs, damn.
I wonder if i could post it here if anyone is intrested in looking at it?
Definitely, Effectz. I'd love to see it!
The files are .pdf how will i go about posting them?
Just upload them so you can download?Whats best site for uploading files.
The Art is pretty badass.
Hmmmm. I actually do not know a thing about that. I'll ask around.
I'm uploading the Lithograph to filehost.org,when it's done i will post the link.Download it to see if it works and i will begin uploading the art and comic.
Alrighty than. Sounds good. I'm ready.

Yup. It worked perfectly. And the picture was quite beautiful.
I'll see if i can convert the others.
Does anyone else think default ManShep looks like a dork? Or is it just me? With his well-groomed super-model features, he doesn't look like a soldier. I made a more gruff looking male Shepard for my main playthrough.

Well he does use a real life guys face who happens to be a model I think.

Funny that he looks just like any generic space marine.
Well, I did know he was based on a real-life model...but we're talking about a man who's seen an awful lot of combat. I doubt he'd be able to keep up his well-chiselled good looks considering everything he's been through.
Considering the new default FemShep, her face is not too well-proportioned and she wears a bit too much make-up. I'll be sticking with my imported FemShep, thank you very much.

Thank god I've got default man Shep for my main. :D
It'll probably be patched by the time I import my custom femme Shep.
I've been doing some research on it, on the Bioware forums and stuff. They say Bioware is sorry for the problem and they are trying to rectify the problem ASAP. Theres a mod for PC users to use. Theres no incidents of the import error on PS3, So they think its something to do with people importing from ME1 > ME2 > ME3. I'm not sure if its happening for Every player though. I think I read that you can't import from cloud storage, and you have to have the save games from ME1 and ME2 to import into ME3

I pay no attention to professional reviews. We're talking about the types of morons who give Call of Duty 9/10 every year. If you ask me, they're probably being paid off/pressured to give high scores on big releases. I'm not saying that's the case with ME3 and I certainly pay no attention to idiotic user reviews, but in the end, for me, it comes down to what I want to play. I've enjoyed plenty of "lesser" games that might have gotten 6/10 from IGN.
It's clear people are trolling the ME3 Metacritic reviews. Here's a quote from one:

That was gold. :D
I can confirm all that shitstorm of troll user reviews comes from /v/ mostly. There's a Bioware-hate trend there since long ago. They're not even funny anymore, and many usual /v/ users (like me) are getting tired of those guys.
So, what's the Garrus/FemShep romance like? That's the only one I give a shit about.
Some of the troll reviews on Metacritic can be amusing in their stupidity (a little), but are certainly not anything that should be taken seriously. I'm still waiting for my copy of the game before I pass any sort of judgement. I'm a bit sceptical about this one.
I've finally given in and downloaded the demo. Won't be able to take the piss out of it play it until after work though.
Okay. This f**kin' thing has gotten the eyes watery. Twice.
Two charatcer deaths within the tag...
Spoiler
Mordin and Thane's deaths were absolute perfection. Perfect endings for their characters.
I feel bad for anybody who didn't keep every possible squadmate or aquaintence alive the past two games... I mean, how do some of these things even work without those guys?
Just finished the attack on...
Spoiler
The Citadel... as if things hadn't heated up beyond epic with the curing of the Genophage (seriously, what asshole wouldn't do that?).
I've only done up to the end of the Mars mission. Great fun, and it's really setting everything up for this to be an epic finale.
Flying into the Citadel again... Goddamnit, the ME games are some of the most beautiful games I've seen.
Just wait, Marines. Virmire is child's play compared to the shit you're about to endure. :'(
Most emotionally wrenching game I've ever played. Hell, labeling it as merely a game does it a disservice.
Damnit, why'd this have to come out right as things are getting busy with rehearsals? :D

The game is great except there is way too much auto dialogue. In the first game I can't recall one time when Shepard spoke without the player controlling his intentions, that was what made it role playing. Now I swear Shepard speaks on his own about 50% of the time. Now instead of being Shepard, half of the time I'm just watching him.
Oh my gosh! This is better than I could have ever hoped for. So far, its better in every aspect. There have been sad moments and holy shit that was badass moments. I'm having the time of my life, guys. :)

What narrative setting do you have the game on, because from that description sounds like it may be set to action.
Also it seems if you import your shepard you aren't asked which narrative setting you want at the beginning of the game and I think action is chosen as the default.

It's RPG mode.
I don't mind it so much. Skips over redundant dialogue choices that would have the same outcome and, I don't know if anybody else has really noticed, but Shepard has a lot more depth to his/her character in this one. I like the feeling of voicing my opinion through dialogue choices, but there is some development here that goes on through a non-chosen level. I love it. Makes the whole stuggle a lot more powerful than having him/her be a blank slate the whole time aside from little dialogue choice moments.
Credit where it's due, thanks for using spoiler tags so far. Keep it up guys, and enjoy the game :)

My only problem with this game is that I have a brother who loves Mass Effect almost as much as I do. Hate having to take f**king turns!
Just stay as far away from the screen as possible. Hell, stay out of the sound vicinity.
Don't worry about that. I think I'm currently further than him in the game, but just barely.
As my room is situated directly above the TV room, I do hear the occasional boom and rumble, but nothing plot-wise.
I already have 21 hours played. I can't stop playing this game.

(Cropped to avoid context)
Here's a little word of advice that I figured I'd pass on from a now depressed pal named Sharp Sticks, who I encouraged through this... leading him to an outcome of catastrophic sadness due to him not having the same speech ability as I had when I did it:
Before you do the 'Reaper Base' mission on Rannoch... make sure you have a high Paragon or Renegade bar. To balance a dispute of galactic history-defining proportions, you'll need to have the dialoge options.
Heed this warning or have this happen to you and the rest of the galaxy (seriously, do NOT click unless you've passed all Rannoch missions):
Spoiler
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp0DWB9IzK0# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp0DWB9IzK0#)
I couldn't even believe it when he told me. Compared to the beautiful outcome of the preferred option, this is the ultimate low.
Most tragic thing ever in a game... hell, in any form of media. Comparable to that of Order Sixty-Six.
In the end, Sticks ended up backtracking to a two mission-old save to prevent this. Stay safe, kids.
So I take it people have played the Grissom Academy mission...I think I took the wrong two squadmates for brutal combat...that was the most frustrating mission I've done in Mass Effect ever, and I started the game as a level 30.
I actually deleted it. I read the non-spoiler parts, and you didn't get into much detail. I saw such a large body of text, and thought you were spillin the beans on something. My bad.
No problem, it's a mistake I would've made myself.
I hate spoilers with a vengeance; always as careful as possible with these things.
How do I improve Galactic readiness without playing MP?
Do missions and scan planets, I believe.
I've found several military battalions and squadrons on some random rock in the middle of f**king nowhere.

Back in the 90s, maybe. And this is a third-person action RPG, not an average RPG of swords and sorcery and a buttload of grinding. The game would become repetitive as f**k if they stretched the story to be 50 hours long.
Skyrim is not about the grinding and its very very long game. If you begin to complete every Guild quest lines and other side quests like the Daedric quests, the 50 hours are guaranteed for your. More than 50 tbh. Skyrim is a free roam game but thats not the point lol :D Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer is repetitive but its cool :P
Skyrim's quest didn't take no 50 hours to beat, pllleeaassee. My friend beat it in like twenty something. I remember him even saying he thought it would take longer, but it's the all those side missions/guild missions that take up the most time. And, I don't see Skyrim having the depth that ME3 has. I mean, look at the choices that add up. Form ME1 and 2 and even several throughout 3.
And there is no way you completed all the side quests in 3 hours. No way. IGN said the main story would be around the time you said, but it said the total game would take about 40 hours to complete.

Its not my problem that your friend rushed Skyrim. I want to see how he can beat the game with every side quest completed + the main story line quest in 20 hours.
Also all the choices you made in ME 1 and 2 are nothing special in ME3. The outcome of these choices is very poor.
IGN are retarded and they are payouts. All of their scores are because of money.
I can see you are ME fanboy but don't tell me that ME3 is a long game. 30 hours at best. There are no more quest in the journal, every planet scanned, every quest given by somebody on the citadel is done, ME3 romance achieved, every alive ME2 member met, and here I am with 27 hours.

That's probably the best way to look at it. In which case I'm estimating the whole thing 100% would be something like 90-100 hours, that includes all the really meticulously boring quests in the first game and all the bland cardboard sidequests in the second game.

I never said it was a problem either. You said that the main quest toke something like, 50 hours. Bullshit. My friend did it in a little over 20. That's JUST the main quest. He said, the reason Skyrim is so epic in length, is because of all the side quests...which he did not do in his first playthrough.
Dude, in a world where your average FPS' campaign is 5-7 hours long, I would say Mass Effect 3 is a pretty f**kin' long game. I don't play a whole lot of RPG's, so I can't comment on those.
After hearing about the endings, I seriously don't feel like playing through the first two games again. It seems that everything you do amounts to shit in the end, as the endings are contrived and it's pretty much a "pick one of three" affair. I might be able to play through ME3 once or twice, but to have the destination render the journey a near waste of time is very disappointing.

Holy crap, I didn't see that earlier.
I'm guessing you scanned and mined most planets then because that's really the only thing I can think of that would take that long. 31 hours included me scanning every planet to find "anomalies" and do the sidequests.
So I just ran into

Finally it's friday, now just fourteen more hours until I go and get it.
The End.
Depressingly disappointed.
I'm sure you all know how much of a fan I've been of this series the whole way through, and this game had me genuinely thrilled up until the final choice...
Spoiler
...having Shepard die in every single one could've been fine, but the thoughts each vague ending leaves you with is hauntingly depressing. The Catalyst tells you that only Synthesis will result in the Mass Relays being destroyed, but really it happens in all of them, effectively ruining the magic of the Mass Effect universe. If this was only in one ending, I'd be fine with it, but it's in all. I avoided the Synthesis (or Neutral) ending at all costs because of this, going for the Paragon 'Control' ending. Saving the Mass Relays went to no avail.
Sitting with Anderson as he dies, looking out at Earth through the opening Citadel would have been perfect if the Crucible had fired and did something like, I don't know, sucked the Reapers into a black hole sending them into nothingness, sent them fleeing from the galaxy for good, or whatever. Even if there was a way that Shepard would die sitting there with Anderson, I would've been fine.
By having Shepard die and only showing a couple squad members get out of the ship. They're variable squadmembers, too; in my opinion Synthesis' Jeff and EDI ending was the best instead of just some random squadmembers and no EDI in sight (yes, even with the 'Control' ending). No galactic reaction for Shepard's death, no romance conclusion, and all of the characters, through lack of dialogue, seem completely clueless. Absolutely insulting to the efforts of those who had played through Mass Effect 1, 2, and now 3 just to get that. Nothing.
It really hurts my love of the series because so much of it is to do with reaching the goal of an ending in which you can see how everybody, every race manages themself, breaking a never-ending cycle of death for the first time. But really, it's just a three minute ending in which there is nothing to be satisfied about. It's not even to do with story expectations, it's just basic expectations that something as big and as fleshed out as this trilogy has been would have a satisfying ending. With character to it.
The awful feeling that everything I just did, Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 was all for nothing. I have no emotional payoff, and it has me feeling genuinely depressed. I have no interest in replaying any of them, no interest in the lore, and I can't even see myself playing multiplayer. The most connected story in gaming just faced a major disconnect. I'm done now.
They could have gone about the endings a whole lot differently (such as removing blatant plotholes). General consensus on a lot of forums I've visited is that the endings are downright shite and enough to kill people's interest in the franchise. Six years of gaming destroyed in five minutes.
Of course, Bioware could just pull a "Broken Steel" as there are probably a lot of people out there more than happy to pay for a better conclusion.
'The Broken Steel' situation is erased by...
Spoiler
Having Shepard absolutely disintegrated in all of them, the planets seemingly rearranged [Eden Prime next to Earth...], the mass relays destroyed, and the possibility that f**king everything just got descimated (Renegade ending). In Fallout 3, the Lone Wanderer is merely seen passing out. Afterward, the Broken Steel DLC asserted itself so properly, so logically, and so perfectly that everybody takes it as being the true ending now, as they should. It wrapped things up. Mass Effect 3's is beyond repair.
I was aware of the disintegration situation (that rhymes!) but all it'll take is some massive ret-con and everything will be right as rainbows.
Notice how the endings are thematically similar to the ones in the original Deus Ex?
Spoiler
In Deus Ex, one ending has you completely destroying the global communitcations network and throwing humanity into another dark age. In ME3, you can destroy the Reapers and the mass relay network, throwing the galaxy into a new dark age and isolating entire systems (some that may even rely on outside assistance, such as supply deliveries, so Shepard could effectively become a mass murderer in this ending.)
In Deus Ex, you can control the world from behind the scenes with the Illuminati. In ME3, you can more or less CONTROL the Reapers and get them out of the galaxy.
In Deus Ex, you can merge with the Helios AI and effectively become a God on Earth. In ME3, you can merge synthetic and organic life whilst effectively becoming a God yourself, creating galactic unity and so forth.
There's that, and the endings are colour coded for extra convenience (red, green and blue), in ME3.
Interesting parallels there; never played the original Deus Ex myself though.
Spoiler
It's highly depressing for me, the thought that you were fighting for these races to be able to free their homeworld (or even reclaim them), yet no matter what, they'll be disconnected and forever trapped in Sol; the isolated remnants would simply die out with their backbone crippled by the Reapers and no ties to the bulk of their forces. Absolutely no communications. The death of the established Mass Effect universe as well as they possibly could.
When I heard people getting angry about the ending all around, I simply assumed they were turned off by something like a single character death or it not turning out pitch perfectly to what they had expected (like what'll happen with Prometheus)... but really it's everything concievable. I don't see how anybody could enjoy this end.
The original Deus Ex is a classic.
On the subject of the endings...
Spoiler
Why is Joker heading out of the system? Why would he just bolt off into a relay for no apparent reason, just so the Normandy can crash? The two squadmates you have with you during the final run more or less get blasted and look pretty dead, yet they might still turn up on the Normandy anyway in the end.
Why did it have to be Anderson at the end, with the Illusive Man? It could have been far more affecting had it been Shepard's love interest (and then Anderson, if no romantic interests were available). I had a thought: it would have been quite emotional if say, FemShep and Garrus made it to the end together and decided to go into the merge thing together so, in essence, they can be "together forever". That could have been done with any of the romantic interests and it would have provided some closure.

I love the sound of the LI's merging together. I romanced Miranda and stayed with her through ME3, but it ended up being pointless. At the part in which she can apparently die, it doesn't matter because you can't see her after that anyways. Not even a reference. If they did the Synthesis ending together, there can be so much said about Shepard's organic/synthetic parts and Miranda's 'perfect' genetic tailoring ushering in a new age of life. Same can be said for cross-species LI's, it adds so much to it.
As for it being Anderson, I thought it was a nice salute to that end of the story, both massive power figures, TIM and Anderson, there with you representing both sides of morality. But how manipulating was it to show Anderson doing the bad thing and TIM doing the good thing in those flashes. Colour coded, yes, but confusing as all hell through that.
Ugh. I'm talking to much about all of this. Six years of highly loyal 'fandom' down the drain. Never thought something like this could make me depressed but I think about how much the series had influenced me, through writing, through art, whatever, and to see it all come to a non-conclusion is just the biggest kick to the stomach.
It's not like they'll be able to make a decent sequel after all this.
Spoiler
They have effectively destroyed the Mass Effect universe as we know it. I have no problem with downbeat endings but when they're contrived and render the journey up to that point a waste of time, then there's a problem. Not only that, but they raise more questions than answers despite the developers saying that there will be closure at the end.

Spoiler
I had three ending choices.
Sorry for turning this into the 'What happened during your menstural cycle today' thread, guys.
I was furious with the ending plot,and I'm a huge fan of the games.
People have a right to be furious at the endings. The developers promised that a player's choices will matter in the end, but since everyone can get the same 3 endings with only slight variations then that makes it clear that any previous choices pretty much amount to nothing. Instead, you'll always end up having a Deus Ex rip-off thrown your way and an ending so full of inconsistencies it feels like a 12 year old wrote it.
EA sunk their fangs in and pushed the release out I'm guessing.
Doubt that's the issue here, seeing as virtually everything before the last 10 minutes belongs to that of a masterpiece. And the release date was originally going to be last year.
Multiplayer's so addicting.
Sweeper what ending did you choose?
I did
Spoiler
Synthesis.I done all the side quests with over 5000 EMS.The ending was rushed I felt,no epic fight with Illusive man.When the Normandy crashes you see joker,Edi and Garrus stepping out and are part synthetic,thats it,you dont find out about the others.After the credits it shows you an old man and a child on a planet talking about the story of the sheppard
I did the Paragon ending.
Spoiler
'Control', where you command the Reapers to leave the galaxy and beyond. Everything else afterward is just about the same as the others, but there's no signs of synthetic integration (Synthesis) or destruction (Destory) like in the other two. I was f**king pissed off that it didn't show EDI with Joker in mine, because that was the one saving grace to that end segment. Joker just looked over at Javik (the Prothean)... but not EDI.
I really liked that there was no epic fight with The Illusive Man, it would have felt half assed to see him fight, and basically would have just been a recap of the Saren encounter. Killing him in a cutscene is much better suited. I fully loved everything up to the moment in which the choices are presented to you... and even then I had some hope that even through death, there would be a thoroughly satisfying ending. Though there should have been a way to live if you had prepared the military ratings properly.

Past games, Shep wouldn't have bat an eye, but there's all these subtle actions and dialogues implying that he regrets it, however slightly. My Shepard is the antihero; his nightmares are full of the voices and memories of the men and women he has killed.
I'm loving this game so far; combines my favourite elements from each of the previous instalments. Even if the ending is disappointing (which seems to be the consensus), I think the rest of the game will make up for it, personally.
The endings practically destroy the Mass Effect universe. Virtually nothing will be able to make up for that.

But I digress..
Earthborn Soldier, War Hero, almost went Infiltrator but didn't want to do something difficult on my first game...
My favorite part of the game so far? Talking to people. I'm not joking. So many games don't handle it very well, but Mass Effect feels like your conversations have real weight and a natural back-and-forth flow. It's incredible, and I love how they did the entire system.
Squad commands are a bit difficult to manage; my tech keeps getting killed because he refuses to retreat or take cover. I guess they come back, though, yeah?

Spoiler
I heard Mordin's voice among mine as well... but I sure as hell didn't kill him (you sick f**k D': ).
I totally agree about Shepard's development; it's there no matter what moral side you choose, which is fantastic because it makes a character out of him that everybody has a shared experience on. Not to mention it's realistic with the pressure of the war.
Technically, the end isn't made up for in the story because it feels like the majority of the stuff you did was all for nothing, on both a technical and emotional level. I'm only now kind of thinking back to the game's amazing moments and being able to look upon the with satisfaction, but it's really hard with that ending stuck in my mind.

As for myself, I've yet to finish this.
Thank god they're applying the pressure.
Having finished it, I now know why so many are saying how bad it is.
Spoiler
It is bad for 3 major reasons.
1) I, and I expect many others, thought that all the choices we made through 3 games would come to a head in the final battle and determine the end that you get. Instead, we are only given 3 options, and all 3 having nothing to do with previous choices in any way. It doesn't matter whether you saved the Rachni queen or not, whether you saved the council and the Destiny Ascension, or whether you kept or destroyed the Collector Base. Sigh...
2) The final battle itself was lacking. I expected to see the results of my unification of the galaxy. I expected to see Quarians fighting together with Geth, Krogan with Turians and Salarians, Wrex with Garrus, Jack with her students, Grunt, etc. I expected to see the characters I care about together in this final battle; the culminations of the relationships I've developed. Nothing. I doubt the battle looks any different regardess of what war assets you collected. Sigh...
3) The ending has no closure on any of the characters, the explanation of the Reapers and their purpose was rushed and illogical, and the destruction of the mass relays makes everything you ever did meaningless. Why did I cure the genophage when the Krogan are now cut off from their homeworld. Poor Wrex, he's stuck on Earth. There goes that future he was so excited about. And that is the single greatest issue I have. I could forgive the lack of choice integration if the endings were satisfying. But these endings are depressing because they leave these characters trapped. Shepard's crew is trapped on some random planet. That's absolutely horrible. How am I supposed to be happy with that ending. Sigh...

Maybe I should just not finish the game. Leave all the good moments untarnished...
Nah, I gotta see this thing through.
Just wondering if anybody has installed either of the discs (on 360) to the hard drive? Because im fairly certain if you install either of them, you dont have to switch discs at all, or at least i havnt since installing one.
Today I had a nice streak from the veteran packs. I got 2 Turian Soldiers and 1 Turian Sentinel :D I am so happy about this Sentinel. I will play it soo much! My fav race from ME. Now I just have to unlock my Drell Vanguard from the demo and everything will be perfect. Except the fact I haven't almost any good weapon :/ Damn.. I so want the Widow sniper rifle. At least I got the M-37 Falcon which fires grenades but its still assault rifle ;D
Finished it. The single greatest game I have ever played.
Spoiler
Maybe because I was prepared for utter crap at the end, because of the warnings you guys threw out, but....I thought it was the only way to end it. In a game made of choices the last one had to be the hardest. Now, I do think they could have been executed. Like, in all three the Mass Relays are destroyed, yet The Catalyst only says that they will be destroyed in one option. The ending cutscene should have been about 5 minutes longer, including all the stuff you guys have mentioned.
There were so many great moments in the game. The battle on Palaven's moon, the battle in London, the many bromantic moments, and the many sad moments made it an unforgettable experience. I shed many tears throughout the game. I will begin my second playthrough on Monday.
And now, after half an hour, I can't believe it's over. :'( I love Halo, I love Gears, but this conclusion is the hardest for me. The story was so grand, it was YOUR character....just wow. I can't believe it.
What do you call it when a turian is killed by a big spiked monster? Friendly-fire.

Damn it i'm dying to play this trilogy but I dont have an Xbox. And before you say 2 and 3 is on the PS3, I just flat out dont want to play them without playing the first game.
I've been saying for a few years i'll get an Xbox to play exclusives like this and Gears that i've missed out on, but I never get around to it.
I will eventually.
So I just unlocked the M-15 Vindicator in multiplayer, and it's a monster. I use it all the time. I leveled up my Infiltrator from level 5 to 11 in just one match with it. It destroys Geth Pyros.
It's not even level II... I love this rifle.
Oops.

Unsurprising.
WELL. Overall level 50-something and still don't have a pistol aside from the default Predator. Pistols are what I use most along with snipers. So you can imagine my rage every time I get a Veteran Pack and there's no pistol, but some shitty, useless Shotgun or Shotgun mod in it's place... anybody wanna go on a quest to get me a new pistol (preferrably a Phalanx) this week?
I'll help you wit' that, soon as I'm done this campaign thingy.

Mass Effect 1 is exclusive to Microsoft hence why its only on PC and Xbox and I dont have a PC, I have a laptop which I use only for internet and music and it would struggle to cope with even the most basic of games. I have a PS3 for gaming and currently Mass Effect 1 is not available for it and I flat out refuse to jump into the middle of a game series.

Well, ME3 was suppose to be released last year. I'm assuming that the DLC was going to be released sometime in March weather or not the game was released in March.
So I beat the game. I'd heard peoples complaints and tried to remain unbiased. But damn, seriously.
Spoiler
I chose synthesize, which seemed like the least shitty choice. I liked the sound of it at first, but it was such a short, pointless ending. Way to make everything I did in the past 3 games not matter at all. And they didn't explain anything. Where did the Reapers even go? What about Hackett? Earth? Garrus and Liara and James and all these characters that we don't even get a sliver of information about what happened to them. So pissed about Garrus. I guess he's dead? Can't really tell for sure.
Ive finally got around to restarting Mass Effect 2 to complete it so i can play Mass Effect 3. Various things kept destorying m previous game so i never finished it. Is Mass Effect 3, as good, and as long as 2?
I think it's the best one. And, I think it's about the same length, maybe a little shorter. Depends on what all you do, really.
Took me about 40 hours to beat ME3, can't remember how long ME2 took the first time.

I like to do all the side missions and extra stuff, inc the little conversations you can have with people haha. Although ill ne rushing alot of ME2 cause i cba to play through the same levels for the 5th time slowly.
Can you import your previous characters image and history from ME2, to ME3?
Yes. But, there is a minor glitch or error happening with ME3 right now. It won't let you carry over your Shepard's face, his history and stuff is fine, but just not his face. Bioware is suppose to be releasing a patch soon to fix it.
Well it will be a month or two before ill get ME3. So hopefully they will have fixed it :)
Finished it loved it, the ending could of been better, but the fantastic emotion I got from the game somewhat makes up for it, never thought I would be so into the characters, never thought I would truly care on what happends to them, wow good job biowere, somehow you made me care for every damn character I could speak to with a diologue box, but make a DLC ending pack, thats something I would actually buy.
So, because of my... persuasive ways, I got my brother to stop somewhere in the first half and wait to do 1 and 2 first. Right now I have Mass Effect 3 locked away in my night stand.
Did I save my brother's Mass Effect experience?
Uhhh, a little bit. He still knows a lot of stuff. But, I still believe you did the right thing. You HAVE to play 1 then 2 then 3. That's the way it has to be.
I unlocked the Geth Plasma Shotgun a little while ago....DAMN! It wrecks shit. When you charge it, it can shot a great distance, while STILL being able to kill enemies with one blast. Only downfall of this weapon is the weight. When I use it, it's the only weapon I carry.
I just gave a rallying war speech to my fellow krogan on a Gold match. (Which we won.)
Me: These "Geth" are machines, not blood and flesh as we are, brother. We cannot be put down as easily as they can. We are battle born, not factory born. They cannot stop us. We. ARE. KROGAN! GRRRAAAAAH!
I heavy melee'd a Geth Prime after that speech and killed it. That speech made me so tingly. lol
I notice how there's this strange bond between Krogan and Asari players... it's kinda cool. :laugh:
I've also noticed that the Geth Prime induce a stagger effect against the krogan when the krogan get revived. That damn gun of theirs...

That's it? Really, that's it?
Goddamn... what a disappointment. After putting hundreds upon hundreds of hours into these three games over the past five years, after all this buildup over choices having consequences on the ultimate fate of the galaxy, all these discussions on how the galaxy needed to be united, forces must be gathered, and decisions spanning over all three games adding up to a final conclusion... all for naught.
This was a Deus Ex ending. I mean that both in reference to the video game series and the latin phrase. God from the machine. Heh... I guess it's fitting, considering who the main enemies of the series are. It all boiled down to a final goddamn choice; destroy, control, conjoin.
I would be perfectly fine with this ending, actually, if they hadn't underscored countless times just how massive an effect your decisions would have. I was looking forward to multiple, radically different endings; from complete annihilation of the Reapers, to tragic defeat at their hands, and a whole myriad of conclusions inbetween. Now, I'm just left with this feeling that it had all been so... pointless. I could have gotten the same ending just rushing through, doings only the main missions, as I did being methodical and completing every assignment. And I completed every assignment. Every. Goddamn. One.
There was no closure to the series. It just sorta... ended. It didn't feel like a conclusion to this sci-fi epic. The ending proper felt like something better suited as an epilogue (in fact, it would've made a f**king great epilogue). And the actual epilogue was just... I don't even know.
I'm not mad at BioWare. I'm just very disappointed in them.

Yeah, thats what I got out of it. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
I got the mission for completing all multiplayer maps on Gold.
It was satisfying, especially since I did it with randoms and we didn't use our mics.
Here's a random question from a noob to distract from the ME3 talk...
Do the squad interactions get better in ME2 and 3, because in ME 1 they just suck. AI teammates always get stuck, seldom follow orders, don't take cover when engaging enemies, and die frequently. I find them almost useless unless you babysit them.
I really wish there was a little more control, like placing a sniper in the back and assaulting with your other teammate.
Squad controls are clunky.
Yeah, the AI definitely gets better throughout the series.
AI is very lame actually. I doubt 4 AI bots can manage to beat Gold challenge vs Reapers.

I wonder if that Asari Justicar will have the ability I've been craving...
The ability to create a protective bubble around yourself that you can walk around with.
Imagine under heavy fire, two friendlies go down. To many enemies to revive them safely. You cast the bubble, and the fourth team mate runs in and revives them.
Boom. Favorite class right there.

What I don't like is some people acting the like whole game is shit just because of the endings. The game itself is easily the best one in the trilogy. The 10 last minutes are what sucks.
Totally agree. Hell, the story was the most truly breathtaking I've ever had the pleasure of playing. If I was rating the game on a percentage/star/number system, I wouldn't take anything away from it for it's poor MS Paint (if you catch my drift) ending.

Not to mention the fact that what we got out of the box not being the 'real' ending would be mindnumbingly insulting... especially if a 'real' ending came in paid DLC form; making us wait and pay more for a 'true' ending? Yeah, get f**ked EAware. But listen to me, talking like this is certainly the case... I have just as little a clue as the next guy and that pisses me off.

Good summation of why this ending was so unsatisfactory.
If you guys were in my position, having just finished the glorious Mass Effect 1 and about to jump into 2 and 3... would you spoil the ending for yourself and read it? Or would you still do things the same and play all the way through knowing what was to come?
I normally would just play through, but the urge to feel like I know what's going on is getting powerful... :laugh: It just sounds so juicy, and I hate when things disappoint like that.
NOOO! Just, play through them as you would if they were brand new. Don't read anything about 2 or 3. Just play, brah.
Okay ;D
*charges blindly into hours and hours of gaming paradise, knowing full well that it all ends in horrible, irrevocable doom.*

If it's true, I can't wait to blow away some Collectors as a Prothean.

BioWare hasn't commented on it yet, so there may be some form of confirmation there...

Of course, I'd much rather it be real.
Part of me wants it to be real for the sake of proper closure to one of my favorite franchises. The other wants it to be bullshit because just the idea of holding out the ending for DLC is mind-numbingly insulting and disgusting. Imagine if on its first release ROTJ ended just after Vader kills Sidious. Then a couple months down the line they release it in theaters with the proper ending in tact. People would be pissed, and for good reason. I may want my proper ending, but not like this. Unfortunately, if true, I will buy it. But I will hesitate on ever buying a game from EA or Bioware again.
It says it's free so not much point in raging about it yet, and if it does end up being true I couldn't care less that we're getting the ending in a dlc so long as we get something.

IF this is true, and IF it is free, then I will be happy. It will give me a reason to finish my story with my other Shepards, to go back and replay these games.
Two things about the DLC bother me. The first - It being free - I highly doubt EA would let that big of a DLC, almost an expansion pack, go out for free. The second - The time of release - if they only needed another month to make a proper ending, why wouldn't they just delay the game back a month? I hate delays, as some of you man know, but if they were to say "We need to push this back because we believe the ending needs work" or something to that effect, then I would praise them for doing so.
Also, starting a new character just for ME3, as in not importing one, really, REALLY blows. Blows hard.

Yeah, that part gets me skeptical... but imagine the backlash if they didn't make it free. It'd be the epitome of developer/publisher betrayal, the stuff people really only joke about; I could see it happening with a lesser game.
Hmmm. That's very true. BUT, if there were to include the multiplayer stuff, they could always say "You're paying for the mulitplayer stuff, the story add on is free"...Yeah, I could definitely see some greedy executives doin that.
But, to be honest, I'm being so negative about it, because I don't want to get my hopes up too much about it. Ya know?
No kidding dude, after the experience some of you just had.
BioWare has always been such a solid company, imo. Mass Effect really took me back to the good old KOTOR days. It would be shame to see such a blemish on their record.
I think I should finished story before online cause Banshee's are f**ked! :o

The kid is Harbinger. The ending is Shepard's imagination and Harbinger's attempt to indoctrinate him.
Why is Shepard the only one who sees the kid? Did you hear that reaper horn when Anderson got Shep's attention away from the kid in the vent? That horn means indoctrination failed.
The ending is all Shep's imagination

haha, was just going to say the same thing! :D
Wow. This is amazing. If it's true, that is one of my favorite scenes or ending to a game/movie I've ever seen. I love writing about the human psyche and how much you can bend people before the break. Son of a bitch. I can't wait for Mass Effect 4 or the Epilogue.
It'll definitely be an epilogue DLC, no doubt. I have faith that this 'The Truth' is legitimate.
Happy I could share that with you guys; even if nothing went on (which, come on, it more than likely will), we now know that all of this has one hell of an explanation behind it. Now all that's left is an ending.
Spoiler
Goddamn it, I literally just finished the game not more that 20 minutes ago, f**k am I glad I chose to destroy the reapers. I was almost tempted Into control because of EDI and the Geth, not wanting to destroy those "Allies" but I chose to stay with wanting to destroy them all. Also waking up in the pile of rubble? "That was cool. Here's to hoping that ending DLC if There is one, comes along soon.
I loved the game none the less, well played Bioware.
Interesting theory. Find it compelling. However, that does not change the fact that the game was shipped without a proper ending. That is really what pisses me off. It's like releasing Lord of the Rings, but having it stop as soon as the ring is destroyed, and then putting out the rest as a separate short film. And what about all the sorry bastards who don't have Xbox Live?

Been said plenty of times. Unfortunate, yes, but that's just how it is... or how it isn't at all-- but that's highly doubtful.
It's not like the ending is going to be a full-on seperate prouduct; if it is infact free, then the only downside here will be the wait. I personally feel pretty goddamn impressed that the indoctrination worked with me and drove me to 'control', leaving me bound to the
Reaper's control.
I'm officially considering this a hell of a cliff hanger before the finale. Like a TV show. Once we go on a replay run, it'll all run together like a movie.
f**k the Reapers; destroy all the time now. Fight the system!
f**k yea! As System of a Down said it "f**k the system, f**k the system, f**k the system!
Spoiler
I just found it funny when I first seen it, because when the crucible AI says "You can choose to destroy us." and it showed Anderson (the paragon) blowing up the reactor, I knew that was the paragon decision, but when you come to reality you see that what would have been Andersons choice is highlighted red as a Renegade choice. It confused the f**k out if me first and I almost decide to jump into the big green beam.
One of the most brilliant and revealing parts was the Renegade/Paragon colours flipping to fit the Reaper agenda. Shepard has the flashes of each side to the moral coin, both the Renegade and the Paragon character fulfilling thier respective goals; the fact that it threw everybody off is proof of the entire scene's effectiveness. Look at Shepard's face as he shoots the generator-- pure defiance.
Gotta love it.

QuoteReaper indoctrination is an insidious means of corrupting organic minds, reprogramming the brain through physical and psychological conditioning using electromagnetic fields, infrasonic and ultrasonic noise, and other subliminal methods. The Reaper's resulting control over the limbic system leaves the victim highly susceptible to its suggestions.
Organics undergoing indoctrination may complain of headaches and buzzing or ringing in their ears. As time passes, they have feelings of being watched and hallucinations of ghostly presences. Ultimately, the Reaper gains the ability to use the victim's body to amplify its signals, manifesting as alien voices in the mind.
Long-term physical effects of the manipulation are unsustainable. Higher mental functioning decays, ultimately leaving the victim a gibbering animal. Rapid indoctrination is possible, but causes this decay in days or weeks. Slow, patient indoctrination allows the thrall to last for months...
...or years.

You can actually talk to him before that, right before you go to the lower-level labs. You get him and the STG as Salarian military assets if you do.
......Daaaaammmnit! I missed that on my first playthrough. Thanks for that, though. I'll make sure and do it on my imported playthrough.

Thought this was pretty cool.
Notice that the "Vulture" became the "Cannibal" and the "Tyrant" became the "Marauder".

That's not actually a marauder, they're called adjutants and they're from the comics, I was suprised they never turned up in mass effect 3.

Neat, I haven't read the comics yet.
Now that I am at a computer I want to put down my opinion and feeling on this game. There may be minor spoilers ahead, I have spoiler tagged the bigger ones, but read at your own discretion.
When Mass Effect 2 came out, I wondered how Bioware was ever going to top this game, the characters and that opening/ending sequence truly blew me away, but Mass Effect 3
just blew all that out the f**king water! The music score was
truly a credit to the game, (Coming to think of it, I bought the Collectors Edition...wasn't I supposed to get a soundtrack?)
The graphics were simply gorgeous to look at, the immersion of the environment that you play in truly captured me because no place looks the same or is the same for long. (Aside from the Normandy) With most of the environment being beautiful to look at, or having to dodge massive electrical charges in a geth ship, I was never bored. The explaration aspect was much better than ME2, im glad Omega was done with, I found it pretty boring after a while, but did love the Blade Runner esque side to it, being all dirty and cyberpunk like with the neon signs and different species being around in one place.
Characters; The way that they ended the story arc of certain characters was...acceptable - Superb in most cases in my opinion. Of course depending on how you deal with them or experience them. I was always attatched to my Shepard, despite not being able to import his face, I more or less got the face I originally had, it was probably better that he looked slightly older,wiser and more experinced than the previous two games. His attatchement with the child
Spoiler
(Who is harbringer in my opinion)
was quite surprising to watch, seeing finally a strain on the Commanders mind after all this time. I loved Mark Meer's voice acting even more in this game, hearing him
screaming and
yelling for the first time was great, I loved his voice, not as great as Brandon Keeners, but deffinetly one of my favorite voice actors.
Thane and Mordin:Spoiler
Thanes fight scene with Kai Leng was fantastic, I was pretty wary of the drell, due to him being terminally ill, but he showed no signs of weakness, right down to the very end. A terminally ill drell taking down an assassin, he was right in saying that Kai Leng should be embarrased, felt good stabbing that c**t for Thanes death in the end. I, jumping onto his blade and smashing across the face was f**king epic. I was glad Kolyat and Shepard got to be with him in his dying moments, and the prayer for Shepard was very, humbling.
Mordins death...In all honesty stirred up some real emotions in me, humming Gilbert and Sulliven before being reduced to ashes, being completely focused on the task at hand, taking that deep breath accepting his fate, just reminded me of how great of a scientist and friend he was.
had a great return, having him respect Eve as well as a Krogan could was a funny thing to watch. And the banter he comes out with on the Salarian STG base is great, Im so glad I chose to cure the genophage, sharing a brofist with Wrex before he goes beserk and lays the smackdown on some reapers. I never really admired Wrex previously until ME2 and ME3. Grunts mission was great, did anyone else get that Aliens sort of feeling, with having a flamethrower entering the queens nest, eggs being everywhere and Krogans being caccooned into walls? With Grunt staying behind to take care of the reapers while Shepard and his squad escaped was superb. And grabbing a massive pole and smashing a Rachni to death with it...Garrus would be proud. And then returning out the cave covered in blood!? Epic! Was a shame we never got to see him on the final assault on earth but whatever.
Jack: Although I enjoyed her new appearance and some of her development into caring for other biotic kids. I couldn't help but feel that most of her script was a bit cliche and bland. I wish she showed more of her badass personality.
Legion: Entering the VI was pretty fun and different,
Spoiler
Was just a shame it sacrificed itself, but lives on in the rest of the Geth collective.
when it accepted Tali's trust and friendship, and finally considered itself to be an individual being, like EDI instead of being constricted to the Geth Collective another great moment of storytelling.
Spoiler
I'll miss his robot dancng.
...my most cherished video game character ever, returned being as confident and battle hardened as ever before. The friendship between Shepard and Garrus couldn't be matched, being loyal on the field as well as finding guidance and being there for each other over the years was a fantastic thing to watch. Im curious to find out how the relationship between my femshep and him continues into the end. I also loved how the developers added in the Calibrations sort of meme with him, truly showing how they listen to their fans most of the time. I'm going to miss him and his witty one liners when this finally comes to an end.
TaliI enjoyed seeing Tali, she had an interesting character, but I still dont see how people could have romanced her.
Spoiler
I'm glad I got to give her and her people their homeworld back, and get them to work with the Geth.
was actually fairly simple and easy for me. I easily had my bar filled up and delivered most of the Galaxys assets to Hacket on the final approach to the cerberus base and taking back earth. The amount of weapons and customizable features in the game were fantastic, I was glad I never had to carry around every goddamn weapon like in the first two games, and giving the player the chance to tailor the way the want to fight on the ground.
The endings: (Spoilers Obviously)
Spoiler
The grandaddy topic right now. The last 30 minutes of gameplay were just breathtaking, litterally my jaw was dropped when Shepard awoke with half his armor blown to f**k and being all bloodied...I desperatly searched for Garrus almost screaming that the possibility that he had died was just hair pulling for me, but I never found him...The confronation between Shepard and The Illusive Man (Who looked f**king insane in that sequence) was one of the games most immersive moments in a video game for me, watching my Shepard dying slowly battered and bloody was emotional. And the final three choices...boy am I glad that I chose to follow with Destroying the reapers, It all looked funny with Anderson being highlighted as a renegade choice, and the boy saying you will destroy "Us." And seeing Shepard awaking in the pile of rubble was just hair pulling for me, I need more! I can't have the story end like that! I want to know what happened to Garrus and the rest of my squad! The sequence where Joker was piloting the Normandy away from the destruction blast, was nail biting material, It send shivers through my body at first, because seeing the cockpit spark with warning signs, the music rising and the Normandy seemingly buckle and strain, about to break...I thought I had destroyed the crew and the ship at that moment because I had killed EDI and all other synthetic life. That indoctrination video had better ring true, if it does...It will simply be one of the greatest mindf**ks in history, It has to be true! If its not...I wouldn't say it would ruin the game for me...but it wouldn't be a satisfactory ending to such a compelling trilogy.
- a great addition to the game, also enjoyed the fact it helped the players campaign in gaining galactic readiness, which was good in my books because I had no idea how to increase it in the campaign. The Geth are the easiest opponents, then Cerberus and finally the reapers. Revenant Machine gun, marksman and my Turian Soldier tear through shit left right and center. I just wish the the choice to customize my turians appearance even further wasn't so hard to come by and left to an element of chance with the Spectre Packs.
Once again Bioware never failed in delivering us a game with characters that we get attatched to, and never forget. The use of music and story telling is just legend in my opinion. They truly deserve
game of the f**king century! I more or less got the most optimal experience out of this game. Getting every war asset, having no crew member die, (Aside from Kaiden on Virmire and those that you don't really get the chace to save.) having every bit of DLC so far. It was all worth it and deffinetly makes this game my most favorite game ever, taking place of Mass Effect 2. I Honestly can't find the words to describe what a masterpiece this game was, and if they give us that ending that we all desire...God I can't imagine how
f**king fantastically epicly brilliant it will be!"If your not a fan, now is the time to start." Seriously, shame on you if you haven't experience these three magical and complelling games. You dont know what your missing out on.
Well thats more or less my outlook on the game, theres so much more that I could write about this game, but It would seriously take me another hour or two. If I have put down something someone has allready said, well I dont really give a f**k. I haven't been to this thread in a while due to not wanting to find any spoilers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like Bioware is going to talk to us about the ending, but not yet due to the amount of people that still haven't experienced the games ending.

Soundtrack is digital. You have to download it.
And I definitely agree on your post.
Mordin:
Spoiler
Man, it was such a superb conclusion to his story. He really got to right the wrongs of the Genophage.
Legion:
Spoiler
We he finally said "I" instead of "we" before sacrificing himself...I got choked up...Really wish he stayed around...

Apperciated.
(More views on the endings.)Spoiler
On analysing the ending even more. The endings just do not make sense at all. In every ending the Mass Relays are destroyed, which robs the galaxy or all critical technology. And in the Arrival DLC in ME2. Blowing up a Mass Relay was enough to replicate a supernova, So Shepard has just condemned more people to death than what the Reapers would probably have done. With no way to get out of the systems, (Provided that they survived) Everyone is stranded and Shepard has condemned them to extinction.
In regards to Jokers mad dash to escape the blast:
At the beginning of the final mission, every single squad member travels down to earth with you. Whichever two you chose to accompany you to the Conduit are with you during the final push when you're blasted by Harbinger. That blast nearly kills you and Anderson. It can only be assumed – again, we ares forced to fill in blanks – that your squad was also hit in the blast. Meanwhile, Joker remained in orbit around earth to take part in the final battle. So how did he A) manage to rescue your squad and B) get the ship to the Charon relay in time to outrun the explosion? The ending cutscene makes it clear that the explosions begin almost concurrently with whichever end to the Reaper threat we chose. So, did Joker chicken out and abandon his post along with your crew? Did the game suddenly introduce Transporter technology? Was it some kind of magical nonsense?
Indoctrination Ending is the only ending that makes any sense whatso ever.
Quite an insightful review from the user section on Metacritic:

Kai Leng was appalling. What the hell was a space ninja doing in Mass Effect? I can't take the guy seriously. That and he gets his shit slapped up by Thane. Some villain he is. The only reason Shepard couldn't kill him until the end is because the game wouldn't allow it.
Finally getting into the multiplayer. Cannot believe how much fun the Drell Vanguard and Krogan Soldier are. I'm not even a big fan of Vanguard, and have spent a large part of the game rescuing a Vanguard that bit off more than it could chew. But Im finding that Im actually carrying the team as either of those 2, something that I don't do much in multiplayer games.
I just need some better weapons for my Turian Soldier and I think I'll be set. Anybody up for playin on the 360 let me know, I just gotta find my headset.
I've been using the human solider, and hoping that every time I get a veteran pack I'll get a Turian Solider, or sentinel. Either or. So far, I haven't been that lucky.
I got a turian sentinel in a spectre pack and maxed out overload and warp, so I can take out shields and weaken armour on a whim. I also, much to my surprise, got the N7 shotgun in a Spectre pack. I did not think the Collector's Edition weapons were in multiplayer, so it was a pleasant surprise (I am yet to use the shotgun, though I'll probably give it to my Krogan soldier next time I'm playing).

Daamn. 9 more minutes of new evidence. 12 was more than enough for me. I'll check this out in about 10-15 mins.
My main gripe with the game wasn't the ending, it was spending all the time running around and developing characters in the second game that you only got to use, or not use, for a handful of minutes the entire third game. I know they did the same with Ashley and Lliara in the second, but those characters got to come back for the finale.
Jack, Legion, Miranda, Samara and yes Jacob (man is the only human professional aside from shepard) I used quite a bit for their powers/and or dialogue insights into the game.
I know exactly what you mean. The only squadmate from 2 that I felt was properly handled and concluded was Mordin. Legion was handled pretty well as well. Would've loved more from those characters; I loved them all.
Mordin and Legion were really the only 2 that had proper conclusions to their stories.
Don't forget Conrad! Oh, and Thane and Miranda (if you
didn't romance her).
[Edit] Nevermind, forgot she's a fighter pilot in the final assault.
Spoiler
Yeah, it's basically just the people that died no matter what.
And Conrad. Although he can apparently actually die if you didn't do Jenna's mission in ME1.
I thought Thane's ending was quite fantastic and really, really f**king sad. He was my second favorite character :'(

I have questions on the leak as well. I have been internet deprived for nearly a year now, and I did get on the interwebz at least from time to time, but I never heard anything of any sort of leak until last week. To my knowledge it was leaked by IGN, Bioware supposedly changed the ending because of that but that's it, anyone here that can clearly explain what happened with that?
To add my two cents on the ending to ME3, I absolutely hated that there was no closure at all in the end, I didn't feel it. Pretty much obvious the game isnt over already, so I am just waiting on DLC or whatever, because the "REAL" ending either needs to followed up on with DLC, or just make another game, which I doubt is going to happen with the ME universe we are currently playing with.
Anyone that wants closure should have a look at this.

You know what was insulting? The "buy more DLC" message that popped up after the ending. That was just a slap in the face. It's like having your dog die, only for a salesman to show up at your door and say, "Oh, I'm sorry your dog died but would you like to buy some dog food, a collar or maybe even a kennel?"
I'm not buying any single player DLC. What would be the point?
I don't really see a problem with buying the DLC to be honest.
The inevitable "Take back Omega" DLC isn't going to make the ending any better, is it?

Quote from: Sierra on Mar 20, 2012, 08:45:27 PM
I don't really see a problem with buying the DLC to be honest.
It's because they asked 20 bucks extra for collectors edition which doesn't matter despite the art book and the patch and the little comic.
Spoiler
Because shep is dead and dead man/woman has no use for special guns, hoodies. and a robot dog.
And the fact people who did not have money for collectors edition still had to fork up an extra 10 dollars for first day dlc which is seriously something you NEED to complete this story is just pure extortion. Even with Zeede or whatever his name is was free.
Spoiler
Nobody should fork up money for an ending that should of not been disappointing in the first place!

The Prothean wasn't just some random character to the game. He really felt integral to the story. He should of never been DLC..
Confirmation that they are doing something about the ending.

Well this is good news I suppose.
I'm amazed at how suprised he is that most people don't like the ending,

I mean seriously, Mac walters just had no idea what he was doing.
Yeah, I don't understand how they could be surprised either. They create a series that gets people very emotionally involved, and then they end it with barely any closure just after altering the very fabric of the universe itself, and they didn't expect people to get upset? And that's not even taking into account the outright lies given to us about multiple and varied endings based on all the choices we made.

I mean seriously, Mac walters just had no idea what he was doing.
"End of first Matrix"-- Uh, no, Mac. You got the first and third Matrix films mixed up (not a good thing).
"LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE"--Because ending a trilogy with a whole heap of unanswered questions is a really clever thing to do.
"Sense of hope"--How so? We plunge the galaxy into a new dark age. Not exactly hopeful.
"But why did he have to die?"--Oh, drama for the sake of drama, I suppose.
How did the Synthesis ending work? Space magic? What happened to all of the characters? Where's the closure?
It's as if they replaced the ending of Return of the Jedi with the last ten minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Mac Walters has proven just how clueless he is when it comes to writing plot. He seems so baffled that hardly anyone likes the ending.
One argument by people who defend the game's endings is that games are "art" and should not be changed. However, "art" is made for the consumer. If the consumer isn't happy, they can complain about it, throw it in the bin, suggest the artist fix it up. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle brought Sherlock Holmes back from the dead due to public outrage, Michelangelo repainted the Sistine Chapel three times since people didn't like it. One thing I notice, done by those defending the endings, is that they do their best to gloss over the obvious plotholes, almost as if they're in denial. Anyone with half a brain can see the ending was half-assed.
So, I was wondering...
How bad woud it be if I started paying Mass Effect 2 without playing the 1st?
My argument is that long long ago I actually played the demo for #2. If the real thing isn't far from the demo then I'd die right in the start but then be resurrected with a side effect of memory loss, and there would be converstaions that seemed like you could ask questions as if you were new to the story.
If I played #2 then #3 I could treat #1 like a prequel later on. The reason I want to do this is I'm having a hard time getting #1 and I don't want to miss out out the fun. I kinda got a #1 before but the guy had actualy run out so the only thing I got was my money back.
What do you think?
Playing ME2 and ME3 without playing ME1 is like going to a prostitute for a hug. You just dont do it.
It really depends, if your looking to get emotionally attatched to characters and understand and feel the story more. Play the first two games, its fun to see everything evolve from game to game.
Well the thing is I'm apparently very lucky I even got #2. To get ME1 would be a very long time then more time for shipping. I'm worried that by then everyone would have moved on from the multiplayer of #3.
Plus decisions in ME 1 carry over to ME 2. You'd really be missing out.

How does that work?
Your saved game info from 1 carries over to 2.
Also, I see used copies at my Gamestop all the time. I could always pick it up for you next time I go.
I've never seen a place called Gamestop where I live.
What about EB Games? That's on google map. ;D
Where are you mate? Ontario right? I'm in Toronto and all of the EB Games changed to Gamestop
OMG ANOTHER CANADIAN! ;D
Yep, I'm in Ontario. I saw two in Newmarket but I live in Jackson's Point with no car so I don't get out of town much at all. I'm about an hours drive north of you.
Alright, bros and sis', I'm free all day tomorrow. There WILL be some epic matches of ME3 played, there will be.
Remember the Truth DLC I posted pictures and information of a while back?
EA and BioWare have stated that they are adding new endings to the game.

I'm having that problem with Assault Rifles, only got the Avenger and Mattock. But you, you've been scouring the game ( :laugh: ) to find you a new pistol. You need the carnifax. That, plus your biotics....DAMN
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
i really need that Asari Adept as well! Phalanx is more my pace in terms of pistols, shoots fast and strong... and has that sexay white finish. c:<
*Throw - Throw - Throw - BOOM! - Throw - Throw - BOOM! BOOM! - Throw Throw - Throw*
^ That was you with that Asari...maybe a few Warps in there too, but you were throwing the shit out of them guys.
Biotic Bomb- WHARRRWAWRRRWOOOOOSH
Also, seeing what the Asari Adepts can do to Phantoms with Stasis? Man, we may have some improved luck with Silver.
Indeed! I have yet to try Silver out. But, if we get in a rhytem, I wouldn't mind trying it out. I've also noticed, that with Cryo Rounds and Cryo Blast, you can really slow down Brutes and Banshees. They don't freeze, but the Banshees cant Biotic jump when you pump a clip full of Cryo rounds into her.

Goddamn, I need that Asari again. The sentinel's alright, but it's just not the same.
Human Male Sentinel is my favorite one so far ( I don't has Drell or Krogan) I like the mix of Tech Armor, Warp and Throw.
I've got every assault rifle for multiplayer aside from the Collector Assault rifle. Been messing around with Infiltrator class, that plus a shotgun with a bayonet is really good. But I just love my Turian soldier and Marksman to much, just rape and pilage with that.
Well, I'll be getting on now while my computer restarts (audio is f**ked up), but I'll leave pretty soon (I think) after to do the podycast.
Tons of fun with you guys. Sorry I was so quiet; my brother walked into the room, and he would not leave, and I just hate it when he's there. Don't feel like talking at all.
Just tested out the Geth Pulse Rifle on MP - My word is it shit, Absolutely No Recoil, but a really poor damage quality to it. Maybe with extended barrels it would be good. Big clip size also.

That's an achievement I don't really feel compelled to earn at all. I really hate multiplayer achievements because unless it's Call of Duty or Battlefield you have to earn everything right away before everyone stops playing.

And in addition to hating the ending of the game I'll also chime in and say that the multiplayer is probably the most underwhelming thing I've seen ever in this generation of consoles. It's the same thing every time........
The multiplayer is terrible. And the fact that you have to do it to get that one achievement is goddamn annoying especially when it decreases the readiness every 12 hours. Finished that today, was so relieved lol
Multiplayer is awesome.

Multiplayer is kind of uninspired, with a seriously screwed up unlock system that is quite literally like gambling, spending credits in the vain hope of getting something you want. Not only that, but it makes no sense. Since when did Reapers have "high value personnel" on the field?

Now that you mention the gambling thing, it kind of reminds me of how the Ultimate Team systems work for NHL and Madden games where you spend points and get card packs. And they're both published by EA as well and require obnoxious codes to play online......

Last I checked, you didn't fight a two-kilometer long Reaper on a multiplayer map. Usually the "high-value personnel" are Marauders, Brutes or Banshees. And here I was thinking they were nothing but mindless minions.

For once I hope this is bullshit.
Intresting read.
EA are pricks.
"Mass Shift" sounds terrible. I don't think I'll be buying anymore Bioware games after the ME3 fiasco anyway.
It's EA not Bioware.
Gotta call bullshit on this one; sounds even more horrible than if they left it where it is.
Quote from: Effectz on Mar 25, 2012, 10:27:51 PM
It's EA not Bioware.
Bioware are the ones responsible for the ending fiasco, EA are responsible for trying to milk money out of their customers at every turn. Bioware are the ones who blatantly lied to people before release, stating that there would be "many different endings" and that the player's choices would "matter". I already lost faith in them for the rather shitty game that is Star Wars: The Old Republic and the way they ended Mass Effect was the final straw. I'm not going to pester them about changing the ending unlike others have been, I'd much rather watch them go under in the wake of this mess. They've alienated a large portion of their fanbase and it's clear they've lost their passion in making ganes. ME3 was clearly "just another job" to them, with reptitive gameplay, subpar graphics and plotholes you could throw an asteroid through.
SWTOR was shitty? Have you been playing the same game that I just played for 8 hours today(Free trial weekend)? And, are you saying that ME3, as a whole, was shitty?
Looky looky;

It was dull, repetitive and full of glaring technical issues. They spent more of the game's budget on voice-acting than the actual game itself. It shows.
I definitely didn't see that. I thought it was quite amazing. And, are you saying Mass Effect 3, as a whole, was a shit game?

ME3 was a 7/10, tops. I'd dock it a point because of the endings, but that isn't really fair. The whole game's a thinly disguised corridor shooter, a far cry from the first game's more open-ended environments and deeper RPG elements. Character animations are often stiff, sometimes to the point of being comical. The plot itself is nothing special whereas the ending negates everything the player has done up to that point as well as being the direct opposite of what the developers stated in interviews during production. Some of the characters aren't terribly likeable, especially Diana Allers and the ever-whining Kaidan Alenko. The invasion of Earth lacks effect, simply because we feel no connection to this futuristic Earth so who are we to care if it gets roasted by Reapers? I could write an essay about the good and bad of the game, but I can't be bothered.

Try Guild Wars 2. Then you will realize how bad SWTOR is.

Guys what do you think about the upcoming weekend event Operation Raptor? The previous event Fortress was lame, just double XP, but BW said we gonna need our 20lvl chars for the OpRaptor. God I hope its something about Gold Challenge with great rewards. OpGol rewards were dumb, most of the N7 weapons are crap and you can't level up them, so they are doomed to be lvl 1 forever. The Victory pack was nothing special either :/

I got a nice gun from my vicory pack which I use with my Turians...
As for level 20 oh good my Drell are ready...
(Wait one moment is the plural of Drell still Drell or is it Drells?)
I am not saying that the random drop in the Victory pack is crap, but the pack it self. Its just renamed Spectre pack. I expected something better. Oh and by N7 weapons I had in mind the Collectors Edition weapons. The regular super rare N7 weapons which are dropped from the Spectre packs are beasts (saber, bw, w, falcon etc).
I wouldn't say all those ultra-rare weapons are "beasts". I got the M-11 Wraith and, though being powerful, it holds a mere 2 shots and 10 in reserve so you may as well camp out near an ammunition store. I've done better using its smaller counterpart, the M-22 Eviscerator.
Well most of them become beasts at the higher levels, in the low-mid levels the normal weapons can compete with them. But on VI-X levels, they can't.

I only got one new weapon and it's a sniper. I WANT ASSAULT RIFLES, PISTOLS, AND SHOTGUNS!
I can't complain though, M-23 Katana shotgun with bayonet is pertty.
The best shotgun in the game is Geth Pulse Shotgun.

I blame my love for shotguns and melee. Half the time I charge in on these weak guys, then I get jumped by an Atlas or Phantom...

or when I charged the turrets to rip the gun off the tri pod with my bare hands, I was successful
half the time...
I need upgrades, new mods and new weapons to be better suited for silver. Oh yes, and I promoted myself.
Anyway, that was an awesome game night. ;D
Just woke up from 3.5 hours of sleep. I will tell you the dream I had that caused me to wake up - It is a recurring dream and happens after I play ME3 mulitplayer just before going to bed.
So, Me, SpaceSweeper, CrazyRich, and Vakarian were sitting at one giant TV all playing the multiplayer together and just kinda bullshittin. How we are able to do that on one TV. I do not know. We do then for awhile, then, all of the sudden, the TV shuts off and Sweeper, CrazyRich, and Vakarian disappear and then I wake up.

Cerberus are easy no matter on which diff. Go play vs Geth and Reapers. Cerberus is playground for kids. 2 biotics - 1 caster and 1 detonator kill phantoms and atlasess in the matter of seconds, then random race infiltrator for hacking and reviving, the last class is up to you, another inf is not bad choice if one of the infs is shotgun build while the other is sniper build.
Wow, you're such a badass, dude. I mean, holy shit, you are always coming on here and, just, shit, dude, you must be a god at this game.
Seriously, who gives a f**k, man? I already told you once that I play the game to have fun, not to think I'm some big shit.

With your avatar of Guy, this post is perfect.
Also, I have just found out the supposed real ending to ME3 that was intended to be in the game, is there any truth to the whole Dark Energy ending thingy, or is this all just a rumor that is just to f**k with our heads again?

I am not denying I am good at ME3 multiplayer because I spend some time in the demo to master different builds with different weapons and then in the full version I improved further. The fun comes with the harder difficulties. If you always win in bronze the game gets boring faster. The harder it is, the more fun it is. You can be big shit if you play more and try different tactics with different chars and classes and ofc play against different enemies. You can become this good to Solo Gold versus Reapers (with SI on GPS build).
EDIT: Oh and I think you are overreacting.
Don't even respond Prime, no need to for an argument to start happening over nothing.
Nah, I know where he is coming from, a challenge is fun. But, after I've already discussed with him that I don't play the multiplayer to be good at it, I do it to be with the people, and he keeps responding with post worth of the "watch out, we got a badass over here" pic...It just gets annoying.

I also tend to hang out with Vakarian on the citdel and just hang out and sometimes I wind up being with all the characters I play on muliplayer... I tryed to grab my Salarians head and make it squeek like a dog toy

Wonderful. :laugh:
I'm doing a lot better with my shotgun and my last game I saved the day!
Right when the game started I really had to go to the bathroom so I hid behind cover in wave 1. I came back to what was apparently wave 3, I press B rapidly just in time to get a Husk off me. Everyone else (3 others) was dead and I had to hack a place on the other side of the map. I took out the reapers one by one with the Katana shotgun, some powerful ones too, then I finally reached the hack thing that was about half way done, I held my ground with more shotgun ammo and clock ticking. I just just murdering reapers with my shotgun and grenades. Then with the count getting so close to 0:00 the hack was done, I finished them off, and my team came back to life.
I saved the day!
I took the advice and my fitness is fully upgraded for health and shields and it's working well for me. I didn't even notice a huge difference in melee ability.

Dear god, dude,
nobody gives a shit.In
what way do I stress that properly in order to just... shut you up.
Funny how playing as a human is kind of dull. Unless you're Shepard.
Get 'em, Sweeps!
Also, I have been thinking of something - It would be a new combat feature - What if you could overload your biotics? Like, you use one, then it has to cooldown. What I'm saying it, what if you could use lets say WARP then right after use THROW, but maybe it takes a health bar down or something.
We see Samara do something similar in 2, where she escorts you using the giant biotic shield, then at the end she is completely drained.
I don't mind being human male, though earning all those Turians makes me feel special for some unknown reason.

That last part is a little far-fetched, but we is on the same page :P :laugh:
I've been on the BSN and there seem to be numerous people claiming the Turian Soldier sucks. I disagree, as I can clean up on Silver and lead on the scoreboard with my Turian Soldier very easily.
And no, I'm not going to try it on Gold since Gold is the epitome of unbalanced, frustrating gameplay. I play a game to have fun, not to get annoyed. Gold isn't fun. That and it's full of elitists.
The Marksmen perk sells the Turian soldier. Increased fire rate AND accuracy? Yes, please. Though, I haven't used mine in awhile.
As much as I love the Turians they are just too slow for me to play, I like faster characters like Drell and Quarians.

... you're starting NOW! It's 3:07 in the morning! :o I'm thinking of hitting the sack but AvPG is making it difficult.
I'll be there in a bit, but I won't be talking... I've got people sleeping at my place tonight. -_-
neither of us have are mics on
Getting on now.
It's just me and you. PQ disappeared :(
I don't understand how most people don't like to play as Turians. You can seriously wreck some shit up with both the Sentinel and Soldier classes. Personally Soldier is my best; pair that up with Revenant or Saber machine gun and fully upgraded Marksman? You can take down an Atlas in less than two clips with the right attatchments. Also the movement thing has never bothered me, not when your spitting out 100 high velocity rounds in less than 8 seconds.
I'll be on tonight if anyone wants to squad up, otherwise I'll be doing "The hero thing" myself ;D 8)
Quote from: QuantumSheep on Mar 30, 2012, 04:55:28 AM
Funny how playing as a human is kind of dull. Unless you're Shepard.
Actually Human Sentinel is way more powerful than Adept if you build it for biotic. Just max out Tech armor for Biotic Powers and then max out Throw + Warp (one on dmg bonus, the other on explosion combos bonus). With this class you dont need another biotic to cast or detonate your powers. Just spam Throw then Warp and you will have biotic explosions all the time. Also Throw doesnt get blocked by shields and barriers so you can cast this on banshees, phantoms, atlases etc. Play with pistol only for 200% recharge rate and cast only throw then warp, you will be the top player all the time also you will kill multiple enemies at once. You can handle Brutes, Atlases and Banshees on your own, you are simply the bringer of death.
EDIT: Basically you will find yourself to have full gun during the whole match. Even some matches you will never fire a single bullet ;)

I've been at College and at the park skating today, because for once it was actually f**king sunny in Scotland. But I'll deffinetly be on later tonight/today. :)
You can drive skateboard? Thats nice man! God damn, I miss those days :'(
Thanks, f**kheads, for leaving me all by my lonesome on that last one. >:( Got to round 4....
....Bitches.
That was the first time in a while that I've been pissed off at a game due to something during gameplay... don't know what went on there, but that last match really sucked and I'm HONGRAY. :L
f**kin hate Reapers and I really f**kin' hate Reaper forces on Reactor. I got f**ked over by a stupid Husk, who got all up in my bizness just long enough for the Banshee, who I'd almost killed, to stab me.
What happened with you, Sweeps?
I dunno. Probably because I wasn't playin' with my Asari Sistah In Stasis'n anymore. :'(
You guys are more lone-wolf style, so I got a little... disoriented, I guess you could say.
And f**k Reapers. And f**k Reactor.
I always try to make sure I know who I'm going against on Silver; and it's usually Cerberus.
I did miss Dat a- I mean your Asari. :laugh:
Thought, I'd mix it up a bit. I mean, what are the odds of have Reapers on Reactor?
Some friends who I hadn't seen for a while came to visit me there, sorry about the random abandonment :-\

Did we just agree on something twice in one day? That is crazy. I've kinda started seeing Husks like this - They never kill you, but cause you die a lot.
Thats their actual role - trash units. They are not threat by themselves but they get your agro away from the big guys. You still can't skip to kill the husks because they will grab you >.< Very annoying enemy indeed. Thats the good thing about Reapers - all their units are feared opponents.
I'm available, but I'm not staying up too late. I have to be at Durham College in Oshawa tomorrow early in the morning. I have over an hour of a drive ahead of me.

Uncommon weapons like the Eviscerator or Matoch Rifle you can get in Veteran Packs
.
Spectre Packs will give you Rare weapons such as the Revenant or even more rare weapons like the Sabre or N7 class equipment.
If you don't fancy having to wait until you get 60000 credits each time, just keep buying recruit packs and upgrade the basic weapons to X Level, They can do some serious damage aswell. And you'll also have the chance of unlocking Uncommon weapons.

I was playing through a little bit of the campaign today, and noticed how much I love the transitions from cut scenes to gameplay. The way the camera moves behind Shepard. I think its pretty badass.
Played some funny rounds on Gold against geth today.Everyone were Salarian engineers and we could just sit in this room on Firebase white and spam holograms,it was easy gold credits.
:laugh: :laugh: Nice. On average, how many credits do you get after each Gold round? Bronze is 15k, Silver is 30k, so I've always guess gold is 45k.
You get 70k when you win gold rounds.
:o f**k me, that's crazy. A spectre pass plus after each round.
Silver is about 45-60.
Silver is 30K.....
I'll be jumping on at 8ishPM U.S Central time tonight. Coolbreeze has already jumped in, so we need two more playas. Who's in?
Do you get more cash for doing the timed missions?I didn't know you got extra money.I just unlocked the Geth Javelin.
Timed missions? I haven't seen that yet.
Hacking the computers is timed.
Oh. I gotcha. I thought you meant, like, the whole mission was timed. The only way you get more credits from the timed portions is if you do them fast.

Technically, that's impossible... unless there's a multiplier system. With time bonuses on the time challenges, you'll still only get 30,000 in the end.
Gonna get on in about half an hour or so. Anybody wanna join up?
I'll see what I can do... probably making bacon cheese sliders again tonight (you'll notice that the reason I do it on Xbox nights are because those are my easy and relaxing times :laugh:), so I'll be able to brag about that again. :laugh:

Shit! What did you get out of that pack, man?!
Buncha shitty shit; Graal Spike Thrower (may not be shitty, but no use to me), and Krogan Soldier training. I just need Asari training, dammit. ._.

Well, like what one armoured battalion motto says, "Unity is Strength". United we'll triumph, just look at our Mass Effect 3 adventures. ;)
I've long considered an Appejack set actually, but I'm in no rush. Canadian Colonial Marines and Boba Fett (and dormant Space Tapir) are awesome. ;D
Anyway, I'm actually surprised at how lethal I've become with the Katana on silver. It's thanks to being lucky enough to get those upgraded mods plus completing the fitness (shields and health).
Don't look if you haven't played/finished the game.

:-\ I was kinda hopin for something more than that. Only cinematics and dialouge sequences? Weeeak.
I'll be on in a bit.
Anyone up for muliplayer?
Hahaha everyone wants the Asari but me, you want this one she likes the colors light blue and white and likes animals and geth {Shoves her Asari Vangard into center stage} I dont use her nor do I plan on it
I'll be on around 7:30 - 8ish.
What is that in how many hours?
Sorry - I'll be on in 30 minutes to an hour.
Okay, I wanted to try out the mutiplayer solo anyway to see what happens. ;D
I almost beat bronze solo(Got to wave 10) the other day with my level 12 engineer. I think your badass soldier should be able to pull it off. :)
For some reson my Quarian is the only one who can do solo but she does not work well with others and she dies ...
Probably because you are more focused when you play by yourself.
That makes sence... But then again why my Quarian?
Suits your gaming style the best....? What class is she?

I got to wave 6 against the Geth. I had to kill 4 paticular guys in time. I killed them but because I was rushing around I was ambushed by flame dudes and rocket dudes in the open.
Ah. I did mine against Cerberus. f**kin' hate the Geth, bro.

Yawwwwn. Hopefully their "artistic vision for the end of this story arc" included the indoctrination plot, seeing as everything aims at it (some of it wouldn't even make sense otherwise). If they completely ignore that, I will be disappoint of massive proportions; it's presence is too large not to be true.

If we play tonight I don't know if I'll be ready for silver, I just promoted myself, we can give it a go for sure but how well I do will be debatable.
Fuuuuuuuu- You should have held off, brony!
I still have the same Katana and Phalanx with their beautiful mods and upgrades.

I got the Disciple shotgun. Seriously, that is the only thing I have used from the spectre packs I've got...Oh, and some incendiary rounds.
HOLY SHIT NEW DLC WITH ASARI JUSTICARS, GETH, AND A f**kING KROGAN VANGUARD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BasebmHiqIo#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BasebmHiqIo#ws)
MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE
Do you think we get the new weapons right away? Or will we have to "unlock" them as well. I don't think Ill want to unlock something in game that I just paid for.
It's free DLC!
But I think you'll have to unlock them. But idk, it adds more longevity to the game, I think.
Available for no additional cost? Well, butter me up and call me delicious, that is fantastic to hear!
And here's the thing. I posted this DLC when the game came out, and everyone thought it was fake.
4Chan was right once again.
That's gonna make an epic birthday present!!!!! And its free?!! f**k yea!!!!
I can't wait to unlock the Geth Inf !!!!

I want that Asari Justicar. I can't tell you how many times my team gets downed near an objective or at the LZ.
That barrier/bubble shield will give us a major defense boost.
I actually wanna try out the Batarians. Something a little different than the major races.
Needs new game modes,but looks good considering its free.
Krogan Vanguard! ;D

It was a great night, guys. :)
I'll try to get this game. Oh,
I know what you said.
Asari Justicar Adept – By the code, you will annihilate your enemy. Use the new Biotic Sphere ability to protect your allies and unleash deadly biotic powers to rip the opposition apart.
Batarian Soldier – Get up close and personal with the Ballistic Blades and Blade Armor abilities. The Batarian Soldier is an expert at being on the front lines and pummeling the enemy into submission.
Geth Infiltrator – Ever cursed the Geth Hunter's name? Well now you get to be one. Cloak, sneak up on enemies and scan them through walls with Hunter Mode. Or hang back and rain sniper fire from distance.
Batarian Sentinel – Trap enemies with the Submission Net then unleash on them when they are unprotected. As with other Sentinels the Batarian can use tech and biotic abilities, ensuring he is prepared for any situation
Geth Engineer – Drop a Geth Turret and keep the pressure on your foe, all the while resurging your team's shields. The Geth Engineer is a great support and utility character, key to any squad's success.
Krogan Battlemaster Vanguard – FOR TUCHANKA! You might find yourself yelling your best Krogan battlecry when you use the Biotic Charge ability. To help protect yourself in the heat of battle, activate the Biotic Barrier ability and become the ultimate Battlemaster.

Asari Justicar Adept – By the code, you will annihilate your enemy. Use the new Biotic Sphere ability to protect your allies and unleash deadly biotic powers to rip the opposition apart.
Batarian Soldier – Get up close and personal with the Ballistic Blades and Blade Armor abilities. The Batarian Soldier is an expert at being on the front lines and pummeling the enemy into submission.
Geth Infiltrator – Ever cursed the Geth Hunter's name? Well now you get to be one. Cloak, sneak up on enemies and scan them through walls with Hunter Mode. Or hang back and rain sniper fire from distance.
Batarian Sentinel – Trap enemies with the Submission Net then unleash on them when they are unprotected. As with other Sentinels the Batarian can use tech and biotic abilities, ensuring he is prepared for any situation

Nice... BUT I STILL WANT FEMALE ALIENS BESIDES ASARI AND QUARIAN and why are there no male Quarian anyways...
Female Turians, Salarians, Krogan, Batarians, Drell! Come on Bioware I WILL PAY YOU FOR THAT!
Yea.... I meant to play with others, mainly Predator Queen cause she asked, but I played on my own to try out something new first then I was distracted by youtube and got off the xbox. Maybe later.
You made my Quarian sad Crazy Rich...

Thing is it may be way over powered, most vanguards are anyways. I have been noticing a new "fad" of kicking out Vanguards in the group before you start the game.
I'm on 360 if anyone wants to play.

Very possible. Just remember how slow the Krogans are, I'm sure it will balance out.
So, Biotic Charge and Barrier are confirmed. I wonder what the third power will be.
Biotic Charge + fully charged Graal shot...Ya, that makes me happy ;D
People are saying Slam.
And these krogans are "older and slower".

Your one out of 10,000 who picked Mailbox? ...Wow... Dont worry for the 1 out of 10,000 who picked Jacob he cheats on you.
I'm back on Mass Effect 3. I played solo against Cerberus and I ALMOST did it! I died with 8 seconds left in the extraction round!
But it wasn't with the Katana shotgun (wave 10 with that). Nope, I have a new weapon of choice now, assault rifle. The M8-Avenger III with the Stability Damper V (70% + stability) and the Precision Scope V (35% + accuracy/scope).
My downfall was that they were moving in all at once so I didn't have time to focus on the Atlas (no rockets) that drove me out of cover. If I held out for 8 more seconds... on the bright side I find that my new choice murders Phantoms especially when aided by grenades.
It's always nice to see an Asari revive herself three times, each time getting juggled between two phantoms and going down again.
I wish they would give you an option to trade characters... Because seriously I don't use my Asari... But I would be happy to give her to a loving home ... in exchange for a Quarian Engineer

Made it to wave 10 solo against the Geth with my assault rifle. Way better than making it to wave 6 with the shotgun.
I completed the objective but was surrounded in the open by multiple Pyros and Hunters coming in at once.
Finally got the Geth Pulse rifle that I wanted. Equipped it to my quarian, and went into a silver match.
I didn't know that the Geth Pulse Rifle is a chunk of microwaved shit.

I like its accuracy, but without an attachment to increase damage, I'm not sure its worth using.
I got a level 3 Geth rifle, First time I used it with no attatchments it was a piece of shit. But the recoil is litterally nothing, it's like firing a laser, will try it out with marksman and some damage and piercing attatchments.
Just got the Locust SMG. Pretty low impact damage, but it's accurate as f**k and beautiful at supression. I'm not sure what I'll use it for most, because I wanna have the Hornet in either my Infiltrator or Asari Adept class... thinking of keeping my Locust for my Adept (weakening and then Throw), but they're both awesome guns if used correctly.
As for the coming Asari Justicar class, we've already seen that it has the Throw ability, and the Biotic shield as an exclusive ability, but I'm hoping the other secondary is Slam-- really wanna see that make an appearance in MP.

Thats a bit retarded, you should at least try ME1 and ME2. ME3 was good up to the last 10-20 minutes. A game will never look that great unless its you thats playing it, especially a game that requires Immersion such like the Mass Effect games.

I might be on between 2-4PM(Might watch Aliens, though), but I WILL be on at 8ish.
I might be able to get online tomorrow. So if im online, count me in.

Playing them disjointedly like this, not even playing most of the games yourself, it's nowhere near the same. It's like watching a marathon, and then commenting on how the runners shouldn't be that tired, because you just did 2 klicks and feel fine.

Might be on later if you guys want to squad up and smash some heads.
You already got the Geth Infiltrator and the Harpoon gun? Dayum.
I want to play more so I can get a Batarian so if anyone wants to play tell me!
We're down a man.
I can play if you want.

Striker Assault Rifle

Such an amazing session with Coolbreeze, SpaceSweeper, and SpaceMarines. I unlocked the f**kin Krogan Battlemaster! The first Krogan I unlock is the rareist. It tears shit up!
Coolbreeze and I are now Krogan brothers! Gah, he was so fun to play with. And that heavy meele goddamn

Might have to give the Justicar a try next session. 8)
This game is trolling me in such a burning, intense fashion. First of all, I start with a lovely game with some of the best team players I've ever had the pleasure of playing with, pure gentleman, sir-ish cooperators that flowed with my style effortlessly, and then EVERY game for the rest of the night had at least one person leaving and f**king up my teams. So it took a while to get to that goddamn Spectre pack, and when I got to it? Disciple II and Shotgun Smart Choke III.

Is it any good? I got it but I have not played with it yet. By the description it looks like the Falcon but the grenades explode in direct hit, no matter where. I can't decide if this is good or bad. I think the Falcon is still better because its grenades explode on hit with enemy, but do not explode if they hit wall so you can shoot enemies behind covers and corners and such.
I got the Asari Justicar last night and the Geth SMG.

I'll be on again tonight, so I'll go on that Asari cosmetic quest with ya, SpaceSweeper.
HicksUSMC I actually quite like the Striker. Its like the f**kin' AA-12.
I swear to christ. People that just spam Biotic charge and Nova deserve to be put down. Just ruins the game.
:laugh: I use to do that with my human vanguard. And, actually, Nova drains your shields, so they are risking their lives doing it.
its just three other people in your team just constantly flying across the map spamming the same moves just seem's cheap and pointless to me.
Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, 3 vanguards on the same team would get quite annoying, IF they didn't use the Biotic Charge the right way. I use the Charge to spearhead my teams attack, and, if desperate enough, do a random charge to get my barriers back.
Coolbreeze and I as Krogan Battlemasters, SpaceSweeper as an Asari, and you, Vakarian, as your Turian....we'd be unstoppable.

Its something like, yeah as you said AA12 but with explosive rounds. I will stay with the Saber for my Turian Soldier :)

I love ME3,I wouldnt say the best game in the series,but its damn close. And yes,I actually loved the ending myself. I did not want a happy ending,I like the unexpected and it didnt disappoint me. Now that I hear Bioware is going to 'expand' on the ending,im abit concerned,but hopeful and excited that new content is coming.
till then I still play the multi most nights.
Just got the Harpoon gun.
I am in love.
Sorry for not gettin' on last night, bruh's. I will be on tonight, and I will be ready to dominate with meh Krogan Battlemaster, and hopefully unlock one of the Batarians. :)
I was on, but no one else was.
But it's all good, 'cause I really didn't feel like talking to anyone.
That's no good!
I'll be on around 8ishPM Central U.S time.
I mgiht be able to get on tonight. No promises though.
You'll get on if I tell you to get on, Vakarian. ;D :P
;) 8)
I won't get on. If I do, it's by the direct intervention of R'hllor, Cthulhu, Zeus, or any combination thereof.
:laugh: Because of your act, yeah?
Yeah.
If I do get on, I'll try to stay in character as...
DICK PISTON! Hotel Detective.
*♪ duh-DA duh-DAAA! ♫*
The Geth Plasma SMG is just like holding a f**king minature minigun in your hands.

Awesome. I was wondering what it was like.
Never mind. I will NOT be getting on tonight. Sorry. :(
Harpoon gun and the gun that launches genades but still not aliens! Hell I would give them both away for one Geth or Batarian!
Yeah, I haven't gotten a single new character. Just weapons and upgrades for pre-existing weapons...

If you complete Operation Resurgence: (Which is to play on one of the new DLC maps during this weekend) You are given a commendation pack - Which guarantee's a new character from the new DLC that was released.

Got the Geth SMG.
Pretty good. Better than the pulse rifle.
EDIT;
I got the Geth Engineer and the Batarian Sentinel in a Premium Spectre pack, and oh my god.
The Geth Engineer is so useful on Gold. I have my turret constantly healing us and I'm spraying down enemies with the Pulse rifle.

Hey, hey, hey. It's not just an assault rifle. It's the N7 Valkyrie... :P :laugh:
That gun is so amazing! I'm so jelly, coolbreeze. :(
Just got the Krogan Battlemaster!
He's named Urdnot Alst. Following Urdnot Malst and Chalst.
I unlocked him, found a cannibal, pressed Y... Xbox crashed.
Saved up for the Premium Spectre pack.
Got an upgrade for a gun I don't use and new appearance for a class I don't use.
f**k you BioWare. Just... f**k you. :'(

I got the Battlemaster out of a normal Spectre pack. Try just buying those.
EDIT;
I KNOW A WAY TO ESCAPE A BANSHEE'S GRASP.
It works only for vanguards, but when she picks you up, just mash Y or the button to charge. You might get lucky and target a husk or something. A banshee grabbed my battlemaster and I mashed Y. I warped out of her clutches and across the room into a group of cannibals.
I played a bit, didn't get nothing new however I think my Katana is now fully upgraded as the shotgun itself is a X while my accuracy and damage mods are both at V. (50% + accuracy, 25% + damage).
For the Resurgence op weekend thing, do you get the pack with the free character at the end of the week, or does it come in one of the regular MP packs? If its the latter, then someone still owes me a new character...
Got new pistol in the specail speckter pack.

Its way more easier to have e decent team who will shoot and biotic attack the banshee because when banshee gets "X" amount of dmg when grabbed someone she drops her prey ;)

......Nice.
What was protecting the Missile turrets like :D
I actually never screamed "FFFFUUUUCKK" at the screen which was majorly surprising ;D. But It wasn't actually that difficult, the whole game actually wasn't that difficult, I breezed past most parts that took me longer on Hardcore mode.
I'm telling you Marksman paired with the M-8 Avenger and Inferno Rounds is insane, tears through enemies like butter. And Garrus and Liara as squadmates was good for Singularity and Overload.
Still, I wonder how EA and Bioware will fix the terrible mess with the endings... My gut feeling tells me there will be an ME4, simply due to it being such a money-making franchise.

They are the best squadmates in ME3 imo. The others are just shit compared to the ones from ME2.

Sorry for going down so much tonight, guys. Just trying to find my niche with the Justicar. Overall, the regular Asari Adept is more my pace, but man have I seen some players work that Justicar like pros.
Aside from my constant embarassing failage, good games, guys!

Shit, dude, you pulled us out of the last match with those credits. Cheers, bro. The Biotic Sphere really comes in handy when we have to do the objective based parts. :)
I hope I get a Batarian something tomorrow.
What can I say, I'm a whore for credits. :laugh:
The XP is always second seat for me, as long as I get my credits, I'm fine. 8)
Yea, thanks for that last minute credits save. ;D
I tried out different shotguns... I don't like the spike thrower. I liked it at first because of it's deadly firepower especially with the damage and accuracy mods, but then I started to not like it because of it's rate of fire in comparison to the Katana, and if I missed I'd get f**ked up usually. Plus the barriers of the Phantoms seemed to withstand it even when charged unless I was lucky enough to get a headshot.
I'll stick with my Katana until I get something new and better, with the mods it gets me through silver fine.
I got the Batarian, too bad I don't plan on using him, unless I have a change of heart or just want to shake things up a bit.

Rich, give the Geth Shotty a try.
I don't have the Geth Shotgun. I have the Katana, Spike Thrower, and M-22. I didn't like the M-22 either. The Katana doesn't dissapoint, especially with the mods.

So lucky.
Spike Thrower? If you hit anything than yes, Nemesis and Phantoms are agile little bitches. If there is one thing cool about that weapon it is that when I put my damage mod on it the damage bar is FULL. :D

Yeah, we played with a guy who's rank was 2702..... -_-
Well I am about N7 250 but I simply do not promote. All my gold weapons are X, except the N7 weapons (I think my Saber is my highest N7 weapon with VIII) ;)
I'm at, like, 60.
I thought that was respectable. :(
I'm 100... something.
In the bioware forums the word is that the best players are in between 200 and 350. I don't know how someone came up with this conclusion but for me if you are N7 60 or above you are not that bad. You see, 60 is the minimum because this means you have at least 3 chars lvl 20 so you know the basics. Above 60 is all about the weaponry. I've seen many high N7 ranks being kicked because of their low lvl weapons. One time me and one friend of mine who was rank 120+- back then, joined in some random lobby, then some 450lvl guy joined but he had Mantis V while my friend had Widow X so they kicked the 450 guy. The point is, its not all about the N7 rank, but the weapons which are earned very easy. I can tell you how I got my badass weapons that fast. You see you must start buying just recruit packs - this way you will lvl up the crap weapons up to X very fast so they will stop dropping. Then move to the next pack. Keep buying this pack until you max out its weapons. And finally move to the Spectre packs. You will unlock only gold and N7 weapons (and races ofc). The races are the only thing that keep dropping after you unlocked everything of it. But you got the idea.
My N7 is around 228 or 238.
I played with two guys that were N71000 and N75010.
The internet connection on my PS3 took a massive shit so I'm stuck playing sp without javik, and have never even seen the glory of mp.

I'm thinking of throwing my PS3 out of the airlock for a new one.
But I also think the PS4 will be announced at the end of the year because of the last hoorah of games that are all coming out after christmas.
So I don't know.
Dont buy the ps4 it sounds like crap.
There's nothing to hear about it.
Mass Effect 1 came in the mail and my charcter is a Colonist, War Hero, Soldier named Richard and looks like moi.
The adventure has begun...
{Trys to take Saren away before Crazy Rich can kill him}
I saved and decided I'm going to bed sometime. I have everyone on my team and I love em all... well... I have something against Ashley. She seems to have "stupid bitch" written allover her. Which is why I sent her with the suicide mission Salarians on my current mission.
I'm at the point when I had to talk to Wrex about the destroying cure that he thinks could save his people... thank god I talked him outta doing what he wanted to do. It makes me wonder if it was possible for him to die, I'd be sad. Then after that Salarian sppech I saved and got off.
That one evel got on my nerves, when you have to kill this so called plant and it spawns Asari clones, I hated the clones, until I started sticking to cover and had the shotgun out. I had Wrex and Liara in my squad at the time.
I love the Mako. I want one in my driveway right now. YEE-HAAA, GONNA PULL A BURNOUT RIGHT ON TOP OF SAREN!

{Grins}
I beat Mass Effect 2!
Spoiler
Holy shit! That was the most heart pounding gaming experience I've ever had! My heart is still beating fast.
First of all the Collector boarding of the Normandy ha me panicing "shit shit shit!" but I saved the day as Joker, I fricken laughe out loud at the look on his face when EDI told the joke. Nothing like some comic relief in a horrifying life or death struggle.
I romanced with Tali of course witch was "totally worth it", and I'm happy their had been less bitchiness from the other laides.
Then begins the heart pounding fest, THE SUICIDE MISSION.
I have a feeling it was a really good idea I did every single ship upgrade, but even with that knowledge I was still at the edge of my seat, anxious... praying. But then there was lots of relief when the Collector ship went BOOM! But then back to anxiety and praying when we were crashing.
Picking my squad throughout this was pretty easy due to my loyal nature, I picked my oldest friends, Garrus and Tali. Both of witch were very hepful. When I had to leave someone with the surviving crew I picked Mordin. Guess which one got their head blown off, Jacob. *salute* Guess who took a bullet to the stomach like a boss, Miranda. Guess who I picked to do the biotic barrier (because I thought they would die at the end of th trail), Jack. When I discovered the human reaper my mind was blown. When given the option to spare or destory the station I choose "YOU ARE TERMINATED" (Cerberus is
piiiiiised). Then I took out the terminator oh, sorry, human reaper. When Tali was slipping down towards the abyss my finger was slowly squeezing the paragon trigger like a fricken sniper would, fortunately is wasn't necessary. At this point my heart is pounding like a bloody drum and I am constantly thinking about the survival of Garrus and Tali. When they both got on the Normandy it was such a relief but... oh... I still got to get on. I did and we got th hell out. MISSION SUCCESS! ;D "WE DID IT!" Only one death, Jacob.
I talked down to the Illusive Man and checked on all my crew before saving and signing off.
Favourite squad mates - Garrus, Tali, Legion, Grunt, Mordin
Growing on me - Miranda
Others - Wrex, Anderson
Overall, most heart pounding gaming experience ever, mainly the Suicide Mission, and plently of mind blowing moments. Freakin love this game! Next, Mass Effect 3!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game Rich :) I felt pretty much the same way when I first played the game.
Hello,
I started Mass Effect 1 two days ago and finished it just a minute before posting here. :D
I did play it a bit before but never had really the chance to progress since I had an old computer and constant crash.
This game was awesome!
Looking forward to Mass Effect 2!!!

I really dig the Alien/Lovecraft spirit Mythos and the touch of Kubrick.
That was everything I could ask for a game :D
I really loved the Sci-Fi Noir theme of Omega in the 2nd game. Reminded me of Blade Runner a lot.
Steampunk noir city! :o
ME2! Here I Come!!!! :D
Because of the ending I barely saw anyone dressed as mass effect characters this year at the convention. Like 3 commander shepards and a fem thane and fem garrus
My progress in Mass Effect 3.
Spoiler
I've created peace between the Turians and the Krogans by curing the genophage as well as taking the cannons and stoping the bomb. Wrex is a happy Krogan and I have a feeling the Krogan will have a better future because of Eve.
Mordin... :'( He wanted to study seashells... :'(
I saved the whole council and shot Udina myself (YEUS).
Thane... :'( Leng, I. will. KILL. HIM. >:(
I also made the Rachni my friend.
Grunt... :'( GRUNT YOU ALIVE! :'D
Besides all that I've done lots of ass kicking against Cerberus and even snacthed dozens of defecting Cerberus scientist.
I saved at the Citadel as I need to meet Miranda a second time and do some other buisness, then I'm off to see what's happening with the Asari.
Even though the Salarian politics don't want to help because of my buisness with the Krogan I have a Salarian fleet on my side because I did something for a Salarian in the Commons area of the Citadel.
Other than that Ashey just came aboard, good thing see knows about me and Tali, that means she likely won't get any ideas, otherwise I'd have to be mean.
EDI, DAT BODAIIII...
Spoiler regarding Udina situation on the citadel.

I let Kaiden die on Virmire, so I could have the pleasure of shooting Ashley myself. ;D

Hmmm, I didn't get the option. If I did I'd hopefully spare her, as much as she's a stupid bitch I think I'd rather have her around to fight the Reapers than kill her over something so petty in comparision to the Reaper invasion.
Right now my weapon of choice is the Mattock assault rifle with an extended barrel and magazine upgrade. Power with a decent rate of fire, ammo capacity, and acurracy is what I like in a rifle. If I could somehow get my shotgun spare ammo mod up high enough I wonder if I could get 2 shots with the Claymore instead of 1. Then I'd start using that more.
The latest on my adventure in Mass Effect 3.
Spoiler
"Emergency Induction Port". ;D
I united the Quarians and the Geth in peace and have them taking on the Repears along side the Turians and Krogan.
Legion. :'(
Kai Leng! That f**king son of a bitch! I was SO close!
I also went to Horizon, Cerberus is sick in the head. At least Miranda's Dad is dead and both her and her sister alive. Plus Miranda planted a tracker on Leng.
My weapon is eager for a point blank range blast in the skulls of Leng and the Illusive Man. Time to kick Cerberus in the balls!
Additionally from doing side missions I have significant Asari capital ships on my side as a morale boosted Batarian fleet. I've also one lots of favors on the Citadel, mediacl support, handing out Reaper and Cerberus codes, finding artifacts for the project I'll do all I can to win the war.
Nobody wants to play muliplayer with me >>' am I that bad?
Yet another MP expansion, including a Phoenix class...

Phoenix... as in the bird that rises From the Ashes?
Protheans.
That would be.... very much killing the loar... just one Prothean and he is Javik!
I get pretty bored of ME3 multiplayer now,,,I can't really play more than one or two rounds before I get bored. Unless im playing with friends.
Since its the only muliplayer i have I cant get bored of it and besides when i like something I tend not to stop likeing it
I've just out of no where gone off the grid on xbox.
I'd like to continue achievement hunting as much as I can/feel like or play multiplayer with friends sometime. I'd like to try out new species, mainly Quarian, Krogan or Turian.

Soooo Female: Salarains, Turians, Batarians, Drell, Hannar, Elcor, Volus, Vorcha and even though we saw a female Krogan you did not see her face and you have no sence of her build with her outfit.
So, I haven't been to this forum since shortly before ME3 came out, because I was busy anticipating (shit can be
time-consuming) and then playing ME3.
I've missed almost 100 pages of this thread. I've stopped playing multiplayer (in fact, I've cancelled Gold for now, since that was all I was playing), and am now just waiting on the Extended Cut DLC, which will, of course, address the face that
Spoiler
Shepard was indoctrinated.
BECAUSE HE WAS.
Jesus, can you imagine being able to play as an Elcor?
Hope the new weapons are somewhat different from what we have now. Also, was playing multiplayer the other day when I realized that you could charge up your shots on the Harpoon Gun, now I can dereail mother f**kers like nobody's business. :D
I'm thinking of playing and saving up towards the Claymore shotgun. Why? Because in the campaign it saved my ass!
Spoiler
The part when you're on Earth and you have to defend the missile site. I realized I had a Mattock and a Carnifex and I was like "f**K me..." as I was about to be stormed by so many Brutes and Banshees. I turned to my Claymore and had my own little Grunt blood rage scene.... I actually survived that endless chaos because of the Claymore... "Anyone got somethin' to eat?"
I don't really like the Claymore because of its stupid reload time, its got some damage and range on it, but shotgun wise I prefer something like the Katana for its weight, or the Graal Spike Thrower for its insane damage, range and accuracy.
I might do a biotic playthrough tonight...
The Katana is my favourite shotgun but I brought the Claymore along to earth because I somehow knew I'd need something bigger.
I've been thinking if there is a class better suited for me than 'Soldier'. I kinda have my doubts but it's worth a look anyway.

Well if you like using shotguns then I'd suggest Vanguard, rush in there and smash into the bastard, then unleash hell on them with your shotgun and point-blank range. You also get some insane damage and weight perks in terms of shotguns with the Vanguard class.
I also wanted to play as a soldier again to use adrenaline rush... I've never really used it so I don't really know what it does...

Makes everything go in slow-motion. Good for snipers, looking badass, or trying to get out of a sticky situation. On my hardcore run I just used it to get from point A to B without takiing much damage. I used Marksman mostly for taking people out the game.

I'm playing multiplayer after a long time. Decided to play as a different race than human for the first time, since I've been exposed to all those cool races in my trilogy playthrough.
I created an Infiltrator by the name of "vas Ontario" (best I could come up with at the moment).

What would you name a Vorcha anyways... I have a few names squirreled away but I don't know about you guys. There is not much said about Vorcha in Mass Effect 2 and 3 which makes me wonder why. I get they were made just to be shot at just like Batarians but they could of at least put some more info into the codex about them. I don't know it just annoys me, all the species fascinate me and just because the game needed more to shoot at doesn't mean you can throw a new species out like {snaps fingers} that. Sorry.. I rambled...
I'd love to see some Cerberus defectors, that'd be awesome. Especially if they're of the female infiltrator variety... ;)
... I have fallen in love with Quarian Infiltrator. So much ass kicking.

... get out of my head.
Seriously the Quarian Infiltrator is awesome for me. Those sticky grenades do lots of damage against armour (especially been having fun against Brutes and Banshees). With sabatoge I can turn Geth or turrets against their own or just slow down any foe. With tatical cloak I can get closer easier and do loads of damage with my fully upgraded and fully modded Katana shotgun, I can even flank the Cerberus shiel guys with ease, and I can use it fal back when my shields are down. I've been kicking the asses of every known enemy unit.
I like her because I actually enjoy putting her to full use, before as a human soldier I never really used adrenaline rush so I didn't feel like I was doing anything truely effective.
Sorry I bailed on you earlier Rich, something came up. :-\
I was wondering where you went. We need to get AvPG back into the fight!

So I played some more and reached level 20, my Quarian Infiltrator is even deadlier than she was before!
Someone would put Phantoms in stasis, I'd go up to them with my Katana cloaked, they would die faster than they had ever had before. I have perfected our technique Sweeper.
I was also lucky and got two Krogan Vanguards in a row. ;D Too bad it isn't what I wanted, I want more pistols, I only have 2. Or perhaps better or upgraded mods would do. I can't complain too much though, my Katana shotgun never lets me down.

When I saw Wrex's face, I literally yelled out, "AHA".
It was so unexpected! lol
It should have been Wrex from the beginning!
I can't wait to unlock the Turian Anti-material sniper rifle!
{Grabs the Vorcha and cuddles it} its so angry!
Radda radda ra radda radda ra, radda radda... ::)
Radda radda, ra.
Yep.
Alright for those who still play the DLC is out! I woke up around 9 to play it... wasent around waited until 2 when I finaly saw that it was downloadable. Vorcha are SUPER OVERPOWRED! which honestly makes no sence... Male Quarians are pretty much like the females (I think they sound pretty similare too)
How much?
The DLC as in price? Its free dude I dont have Microsoftpoints :P
I got the Vorcha Soldier, and maxed out everything. Didn't put a point into Carnage.
Specced for Health and Shields.
I'll spec the Sentinel for Melee damage since their melee STAGGERS EVERYTHNG IT HITS.
The melee is brutal from what I have seen, it gives Batarian melee a run for its money.
Vorcha gets a flamethrower too thats funny...
I took on a Geth Prime and a couple rocket troops by myself on Silver.
I took on a brute by myself on Gold.
Came out victorious. Damaged badly, but victorious.

Geths are a joke, everyone is playing them on gold just to farm money. Brutes are piece of cake with every class. If you are inf there is no contest = 3-4 shots at best and they are down ::) Sorry mate, you have done just regular things for ME3 multiplayer :D

Brutes go down with 3-4 shots? Yyyeeeaahhh, bull shit.
Okay since the DLC Vorcha became popular and now there are 'clans' yep this has to be opposite day when Vorcha go from the most hated species to one of the most loved in less then 24 hours.
I value 'charcater' over ability so I'll probably still hate them.
I like them they have a lot of personality they hiss they growl the shoot you with a flame thrower... I have names already lined up for Both Vorcha and one of the Quarian males
I see them as rats, vermin. I think I once heard "I don't give a vorcha's ass!".
Quarian male I'm interested in (I hope it's a class I use). I'm going to download tomorrow.

Elcor, Volus, and Hanar will never be playable. BioWare has stated that they need to have a humanoid figure and have to be roughly the size of a human to work in multiplayer.
Besides that, all three of them seem kinda... slow.

If you are please shut up your getting annoying.
Or what? I am just telling you how it is, but you are saying that the Brutes are the HARDEST ENEMY EVER CREATED. Ofc I will tell you that you are wrong. Get your weapons on decent levels and build your char right and you will see for yourself the Brutes are one of the easiest enemies ever. They are right next to the regular cerberus troopers. They move slow as turtle and attack once per year, how is this dangerous? If you are staying in front of it without moving over, its not the enemy its your playstyle. Most of the high ranked N7 players stopped playing exactly because its not challenging any more when you get your hands on the N7 weapons and build your char right. 2 biotics - asari and drell, 1 inf - lets say Sal and 1 engie - Geth, are wiping the floor with any enemy race on gold.
Let me ask you something? If the game is so hard as you say, then why the internet is filled with videos "Solo Reaper Gold"? Its not me being "so good", its the game being way too easy ;)

Because some people find it easy. That however doesn't mean that its so easy that anyone can do it. So don't assume because some people can easily do it that people who struggle are stupid.
I never said about somebody being stupid. Also I think the soloing is no longer possible due to the escort mission added with the latest patch.
I glitched through the roof of the Normandy when I finished a conversation with EDI earlier. Was very weird.
I got a male Quarian! He is so adorable!
Tonight was a terrible night. It starts out good as I had downloaded the new content. But when I jumped into a game I was surrounded and defeated right off the bat because the other 3 guys were already dead or dying. Next game I get kicked at the menu, next game everyone leaves, then the server apparently goes down so I'm off now.
What the hell?
That happens to me a lot. I always assumed it was either due to my horrible luck, or some issue the PC servers have.

On the 16 I wont be able to play with you guys anymore, my 3 months free gold membership will expire and I have no money to get membership. I will tresure playing with you all!
So i was playing through mass Effect again, and I thought of something that kinda feels like a slap in the face. Not a horribly bad slap in the face, more of a.. Neutral slap in the face, i guess?
Anyway,
Spoiler
When you learn the Catalyst is the Citadel, and the citadel was built by reapers... As were the Mass relays and all that stuff... And the plans for the Crucible were passed down through the extinctions caused by the reapers... What if the crucible was designed by the Reapers, as a sort of last resort in case the organics ever did become as desperate as they did in Mass Effect 3? What if it was actually designed to destroy the mass Relays, essentially preventing life from further evolving, cutting off the galaxies species from one another.
I highly doubt I'm the first one to think of this, admittingly. Hell, it might have even been said on this very thread for all i know. :laugh: Was just playing through the game, noticed that, and for some reason got real paranoid about it.
Someone did have something similar to what you just said, but I am talking about a youtube video that I saw somewhere.

How can you not Turian soldier is really usefull.
The human is most likely usefull I just see no need to play as humans considering this game is centered around facinateing aliens.
I don't find the Krogan or the Turians that interesting, Asari are interesting because not being racist but... they all look the same yet there are males and females. :o Quarians with the whole Geth war and suits and living in deep space are my favorite race. ;D

Bullshit.
Apparently there was
another DLC leak...
QuoteAn upcoming multiplayer extension for Mass Effect 3, entitled Earth, has been outed via a leak.
Reddit user derptemp6698, who is the same tipster that leaked correct details on the Mass Effect: Rebellion Pack before it was accidently revealed by Sony Hong Kong, unveiled the following details of Mass Effect 3: Earth:
QuoteThe fighting is fiercest when it's your home at stake! Mass Effect 3™: Earth adds mods, gear, and new maps for Rio, Vancouver, and London. It features 3 new weapons: Piranha assault shotgun, Acolyte pistol, and Typhoon light machine gun. Six new human N7 classes are also available: Destroyer, Paladin, Demolisher, Slayer, Shadow, and Fury!
No other details such as a release date were divulged for the multiplayer extension. What we do know that is coming out during the summer is Mass Effect 3: The Extended Cut – a downloadable content pack that aims to address the outrage that was directed at the game's ending.
Why can't they just add these multi-weapons on to the single player as well? Missed opportunity right there.
Why can't they add a classed based competitive mode? :P
I'm sorry, but this game is so boring to me now. I've gotten to a 300 or 500 N7 level and I only get on to do the weekend operations. I actually fell asleep playing this game once. There hasn't been a new enemy, the classes now are rehashes of the same stuff, the new powers are shit, and the weapons are pretty much poo-poo. I mean, the Avenger was amazing in the demo, now it's useless. The geth pulse rifle is shit. The GPS and the BW are the only good guns to a chunk of the community.
Add Collectors! Add races we haven't seen!
Add something besides dinky maps and little, useless guns that a member of the Bioware forums named! That's right! There was a thread long before this DLC was announced speculating that there should be guns that "behave like this, and have this much damage. And let's call them this!"
The only thing that Bioware actually changed are what the weapons are! The Piranha was an assault rifle, and the Typhoon was the shotgun, I believe. The Acolyte was either the SMG or sniper. I'll rummage for that thread.
The only way multi-player can be fun is if they just dismantle the entire thing and build it from the ground up. I got bored of it after the first DLC for it. I was hoping to be on it for long periods of time, but it just wasn't doing anything for me by the time I unlocked my first Geth character, and after that I just didn't care enough to unlock the rest of the new characters and weapons.
The Justicar is shit, the Geth are easy-mode, the Kroguard is probably the class that involves the least amount of skill, and the Batarians are just... They're just f**king reskinned krogans!
And then here comes Rebellion...
Vorcha. Near instant health regeneration. It takes a very unskilled player to get downed as a maxed our vorcha.
The Male Quarians. They're geth FFS!
And then the "Pheonix." I mean, come on BioWare. More human classes that are kinda... bland? I mean Lash is cool and all, but it's basically pull. We all know it. Just give us Protheans already! That's what a huge chunk of the community ask for!
Oh, what's that? It's lore breaking? Oh, ballsack.
Spoiler
Please, BioWare, if you don't want to break the lore of Singleplayer, explain why we have Geth and Quarians fighting side by side? And why would vorcha join us? Really? To fight? They can do that by themselves! And Cerberus... didn't they have chips implanted into their brains to make them explode if they defected?
Huh. Well, there's a couple holes in your logic there, BioWare.
People can no doubt explain those things, but everyone's single player experience is different to where any of those explanations would even make sense.
One example would be if you managed to have the Geth and the Quarians not kill one another. So in multi-player that can make some sense.
Just one example, but as I said, everyone's single player experience is different. So any explanations won't really explain anything.
True. Very true.
But still though, Protheans should be added. I mean, BioWare can just come up with a bullshit explanation like they have for every other addition to multiplayer.
"Javik has lead us to a stash of protheans that he found through deciphering Prothean text and clues from around the known galaxy."
I mean, something simple like that could lead to an addition to Protheans.
They need to add competitive multi-player to this first of all. Next they need awesome game mods, some where you can even get to play as a Phantom, Banshee, and all those other bastards after earning a certain number of kills, or meet certain criteria for them.
So much awesome can be had if they would just build this up from the ground up again.
And yes, a simple explanation like you just said could easily have Protheans join in the mix. Hell, they don't even have to say anything, they can just remove the multi-player from even being connected to the single player at all.

Oh, shit.
I'm not ready for this.
Am I reading this right? Is it saying to play the game from the beginning? Or just after you raid the Cerberus base?
QuoteThe actual content of the Extended Cut will differ "depending on choices made throughout the Mass Effect series, so multiple playthroughs with a variety of different decisions will be required to experience the variety of possibilities offered by the new content."
I've heard that noise before.
Hopefully they aren't lying through their teeth this time.

I think it's saying play from before you go to retake Earth. So, yeah, after the Cerberus raid.

Ok, good. Because I am going to have to replay the last mission three times anyway.
I guess I will skip it. I am too lazy to replay all this for just 2-3 min difference in the cutscenes.
It will probably be more than 2-3 minutes. The download is almost 2 gigs.
I am seriously anticipated to see how this will polarize the fanbase even more.
It's not gonna' matter to me. The ending is pure shit and nothing they can do will fix that.

They won't fix it, they are just going to add closure to it. Which is honestly all I ask for. The plot holes of the ending can be filled in with our imagination, so there's that, ending fixed.
It's still gonna' come down to this though. Closure or no closure.

No no no... after the end of it maybe. ;)
The endings only like 15 mins of the game and takes about 18 hours to clock, it'd of been nice for all of it to be great but nothings perfect I guess. :-\
I'm not expecting much from this extended cut. It's funny how everybody thinks a simple DLC will fix everything. To me the ending can't be undone, what happened happened and that's it. I won't be downloading this, I've pretty much given up on Bioware. However, for the sake of sheer morbid curiosity I'll probably watch the extended cut on youtube. If anything, it should be fun to see how this all goes down.
Doubt it will add much but bring me closure...
Weird that this just gets announced out of nowhere, I'll try it but I doubt it will make up for the original ending.

Peace on Rannoch? Does this mean that there is a way for the races to resume their travel of the galaxy?
Don't wanna get my hopes up there, but that alone would make me happy.
Ima wait until Tuesday. Good lord, I hope this thing satisfies me.
No additional charge?
I have a bad feeling about this.
It was established as soon as it was announced that it would come at no additional charge, just as the others had been. If it was at an additional charge, nobody would bother, and it would pretty much be an insulting joke.
I am foaming at the mouth just wondering how I will react to this DLC. I'm even more excited to see how other people will react. I don't even know if I want the DLC to make fans happy, or more pissed off (to those that are pissed off).
Being with the fanbase for the full run, I'd really rather see them get the satisfaction they deserve; because I'm one of them. Not that there aren't irrational people within that fanbase, but Jesus Christ, every fan got f**ked with the existing ending.
I can't help but be suspicious, a part of me is actually expecting something along the lines of an insulting joke either way, that part of me could be proven wrong though but I'm not getting my hopes up, I guess we will see what happens on the 26th. Those pictures provide a little faith but I'm not certain if that is the final product.
But on the bright side it is free.

There's no way that they will make a joke. Bioware knows that the fans are...most of them...angry as hell about this. So many damn theories out there to make sense of the ending, that's just f**king sad because it clearly shows that Bioware f**ked up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjAO3B0ITnM#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjAO3B0ITnM#ws)
This video here is the first thing I saw of Bioware even addressing the fans. After processing the ending, and feeling indifferent about, and after reading and watching videos on why the fans were angry, this video up here, and it's parts, is the one thing that left me knowing that Bioware will do right by us.
I'll let the Extended Cut speak for itself.
So what I gathered from part 1 and 2 of the video...
Spoiler
So there is basically still going to be blue explosion, green explosion, and red explosion and they still crash on some random planet, but they pick it up from there depending on what choices you made?
Well, if I get more closure out of it then I'll probably be a lot more satisfied than I was with the ending we got, that is what matters.
For me, this DLC won't fix anything. I have no intention on downloading it. Partly because I can't mostly because I won't. I'll look up videos on youtube, I'll read reviews, but I will not be downloading it. Bioware lost me as a customer the moment I watched the mass relays blow up. If the DLC does make sense of everything and ties everything up in a neat little red, green, or blue bow then good for Bioware it only took thousands of screaming fans and three months for them to actually finish their game.
That seems rather petty but suit yourself.
I'm merely voting with my wallet, because that's all I can do to truly express my displeasure of the ending. Sure, the DLC is free, I know. But my course of action seems like the simplest and clearest way to express my opinion. To me, these endings were a betrayal of my trust, my faith in Bioware as a developer. Thus, I have chosen to not purchase their games. If that is petty then I don't know what you'd call the petitions and charity drives other fans did to change the ending.
I agree with the feeling of betrayal. After Mass Effect 3 I am going to stop and think before I buy anything they make from now on.

The ending sucking alien scrotum doesn't change the fact that the rest of the game is f**king awesome IMO. 10 shitty minutes don't bring down several hours of awesomeness. Yes, it leaves you with a bad taste in the mouth but the journey up to that point is incredible.
Is the DLC going to be available at midnight? Because if it is, omg it's going to be a crazy night.
Does anyone else have the feeling that this is gonna be one of the worst things Bioware could do. It's only the explain, just a poor attempt at closure and that can't really happen without changing the ending itself.

Well Max Payne is 30gb after the install (on PC) but its shorter than other games. The size of the games depends on the compressing they are using, the engine, the texture size etc. It have nothing to do with how long the game/addon is. For example - Skyrim. Its 5-7gb installed (on PC) and just look at it ;D The size is not important (yeah, thats what she said, I know.. right..). Btw Bioware said they were able to do more but due to MS restriction for up to 2gb files on XBL, they were restricted of doing so :/
Extended cut is out right now.
I am going to take a bathroom break before I even play this...holy shit people, it's time.

I know I know but the Earth talk with Garrus was imo the best one and it really seemed he would do anything to help Shep if he could, just wish it had been James or someone, that gave the word.Ah well small problem just to me anyway, no matter.
Now Bioware just need to make some campaign dlc and give people more reason to go back to the campaign.
James couldn't have convinced Joker to leave...

f**king hell. The extra details when speaking to the Star Child make this decision in the end equally as difficult as it was the first time around. Time to think.
Javik...I agree with when he said that the Prometheans lost because of following a single doctrine...no diversity.
I love diversity.
So Synthesis is out...now to decide on the last two options I have left...god damn it.
f**king Star Child...ok. The Geth are on my side...EDI is on my side.

The rest is the typical stuff we got.
So, I've played the endings, and basically the added stuff is the stuff that should have been there in the first place. Being able to actually interrogate the Catalyst, those extra scenes before Shepard makes it to the Citadel (allowing my Shepard to actually say a proper goodbye to his love interest), and of course the extended endings all make the ending much more satisfying. It's actually bittersweet like it should be. Much better, but seriously, all that stuff should have been in the game right off the bat.

f**king hell. The extra details when speaking to the Star Child make this decision in the end equally as difficult as it was the first time around. Time to think.
Javik...I agree with when he said that the Prometheans lost because of following a single doctrine...no diversity.
I love diversity.
So Synthesis is out...now to decide on the last two options I have left...god damn it.
f**king Star Child...ok. The Geth are on my side...EDI is on my side.
God damn this f**king Star Child.
After much contemplation, I have made my choice.
Now to wait for my sister so that we can both see what happens.
My reactions to the added elements.
Spoiler
Garrus additional scene
Garrus, you need to go god damn you!
I won't leave you Shepard!
GO!

My reaction was about the same I really can't believe that just by explaining a bit more and making his death have more impact and showing that everything can be rebuilt had such an effect. I would of really been happy with that ending.

This.
I just beat it as an extended cut...
Spoiler
So I went went with destroying the Reapers just like last time. I'm happy there was a lot more closure. Though EDI and the Geth, my friends, were destroyed in the process I'm satisfied that the Reapers are no more and all the species can return to their homes and everyone can rebuild.
Though the middle one was more appealing than last time I refused because as much as the 'final evolution of all life' sounds nice it also seems very limiting. Like we still exist but we cease to 'truely' live in a sense of growth and such.
I seemed like I could also refuse all the choices this time, tempting because I thought of EDI and the Geth if I picked the destruction of the Reapers but I didn't because I remembered I was there for a reason, because the Crucible was our last and only hope.
I didn't choose control as I didn't want to surrender my beliefs for the Illusive Man's and besides that control is an illusion.
So, I just saw the new endings from the Extended Cut, and they surprised me. I liked them much more than the ones we had in the original game. I liked how the control ending was effected by your paragon/renegade score and I liked how everything was definitely more clear and actually provided closure. I liked them so much that it actually changed the endings for the better (even though I said they wouldn't. Yes, go ahead and chastise me for my hypocrisy, I deserve it!) Needless to say, I now want to play these games again.
Well I didn't exactly have the best experience with the extended cut.
Spoiler
I'm walking over to Destroy, cause the Reapers need to pay for what they've done. Its a slow walk, so I kinda start shooting at random. I turn, and shoot the starchild, thinking "meh, nothing will happe- "

You know, before this DLC I wasn't really tempted to plat through all three games again...But now I think I will. I might even start playing multiplayer again. PQ keeps telling me to get on with her.

When he said that, I was like...
"Wait. huh."
It was kinda' epic sounding, lol.
I loved the fact that they added the "shoot the kid" option to the game. Shows they've got a sense of humor.
NEW DLC
LEVIATHAN
I have not read it, due to spoilers. But I am going to take a guess and say that this has to do with the Leviathan that was later revealed to be a Reaper in ME 3.

Oh, man. That would be sweet. But I doubt it would happen. Although I hope that this DLC, and the rest of them, are more like the Shadow Broker DLC than the Arrival one.
Downloaded the extended cut, probably play through it tonight. But, for some reason, I'm really not too excited. Its not because I think I'll be let down or anything like that, I just don't really seem to care. :-\

Start playing again, prime. Once you start that battle against TIM, the great fight for earth, you will start to care again. Don't let the 10 minutes of the game we were once given ruin it.
Remember all the good times.
Oh, I was actually one of the few people who didn't mind the current ending.
BUT, you're probably right. I'll load up the game, see my sexy Shepard standing next to the even more sexy Garrus and be like :'( :'( I f**kin' love this game.
:D
Good to hear it. My return to XBL is tomorrow if you want to hit up some MP. :)

Totally agree.
So the 3 endings for Mass Effect 3 are now pretty damn decent....
All is good in the galaxy again ;)
Just finished the Extended Cut. What a...strange experience. I felt like I did the first time I beat it. There were definitely some tears at the end. The closure was great, but, in a weird sort of way, it made me want a #4 even more. :laugh:
Rumour has it that they are going to use the Control ending for Mass Effect 4...
they kinda have to use only one of those 3 endings... otherwise they'll simply have way too many variables to work with...
right?
Ah, that would be lame. They should just do games that take place before Mass Effect, or during the events of these three games.
I think the Mass Effect story has ended on a good note, to continue could possibly feel... out of place.
Are like none of you playing muliplayer anymore I am over 500 on my N7 level play with me!
I haven't played in a very long time.
I play very rarely. If at all.
Dat control ending.
Infinite.
Immortal.
Just finished the extended cut. I liked a lot of the extra content that was involved in the last quarters of the game.
Ended up deciding with Control after much thought and the extra info given from the kid. My Shepard was mostly Paragon, so I never had to worry about him becoming power hungry.
Eternal. Infinite. Immortal.
So badass!
On a side note: (May contain spoilers)
Spoiler
If anyone chose option 4 (Rejection) ...then you are a f**king idiot.
And anyone saying how Garrus "Ran away" is also a f**king idiot. If you are referring to the scene where he got nearly crushed and blown up by a tank, and was covered in his own blood, how the hell is he supposed to fight? And if you are(Also) referring to the part where he tells Joker to leave, he was damn right in that decision. Whats Joker supposed to do? Pilot the Normandy into the Crucible when it explodes about 30 seconds after? and after whatever decision Shepard has made?
Also, on the Destroy ending...I was pretty miffed about them not expanding on Shepard being in the rubble...
Kind of want to see ME4...with Shepard...or at least the Normandy crew. But I have no idea how they would pull it off.
They shouldn't. They should not continue the ME Universe beyond this point because it would be impossible.

That is awesome.
1. That's awesome fanart.
2. What do you guys think about the EC? I'm hesitating on downloading it. I read that they didn't actually change the endings, which kind of ruins the point for me, but I mean, it couldn't get any worse, right?

I chose destroy ending like last time. I enjoyed the extended ending,brought closure but yeah I agree on the Shepard thing Vakarian.
I think if they bring out any more DLC it will be set within the time frame of the Reaper assualt, Unless they start a new game series set in Mass Effect,which wouldnt shock me that much.
On the Bishoujo statues,I dont like the anime apperance. I want some Sideshow premiuem format style statues I'm tired of anime-izing realistic looking characters.

Not a bad, I idea kick them out a week before their 16th birth with no money or food they basically have to live off their mates for a week and when they comeback throw them as massive party. But they can only stay at 1 friend for 1 night so they have to keep moving.

Finished the Extended Cut, finally.
I gotta say, this improved the ending. I liked that I could actually
question the little shit. I also loved that the added the fourth option of
Spoiler
you losing utterly and completely. The endings just didn't feel complete without that being one of the options, though I would've preferred it being as a result of previous choices and not this one f**king cutscene at the end of the f**king game. But enough people have criticized this game for that. I'm still pissed off that the ending had absolutely nothing to do with my choices (nothing short of a complete overhaul could fix that), but at least it had a bit more closure.
^ I agree! I just finished it, and the fourth option was badass. as soon as I found out about that, I chose it, lol. while I agree that the other choices were improved, they still left a bad taste in my mouth, so I was glad for that.
My dreams have come true. ;-;

Give me a f**king call on Xbox LIVE, doesn't matter what I'm doing, message me when this DLC hits and I'll be running marathons with you guys just to unlock this shit.
Hell, even before that!
They are all human?! Worthless every last one of them I rather have playable Hannar then more playable humans
Tempting to touch my Xbox again...
Nah. :)
What the hell.
I played this game after how awesome my friend said it was.
It was good...
Then i got the endings.
WTF WAS THAT SHIT!! D:<
Finally they are adding new diff (Platinum)!!! I can't wait to try it out, the game was already too easy with all the new races and weapons. And I want to see the abilities of that guy in the long coat. He looks badass! I don't mind if they are humans though. They look cool.

It's this free DLC what are they planning...
Since this stuff has been free, I'm guessing they will put a price on whatever DLC is bigger and better than the ones we have been getting. My question is, how can they do bigger and better? But if we are already getting what is considered bigger and better than I guess they are just a nicer bunch than others.
The only things that comes to mind is a new objective or new enemies. And for new objectives I'm pretty sure it'd be something epic maybe even a whole new type of mission? ???
They could add things to the single player campaign as well in the future.
Just waiting on the Leviathan DLC.

Platinum
so...much...FUN!!!! 10,000 credits if you live!
Worth to waste a few medi gels to get that stuff.
Acolyte pistol....WORST WEAPON IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY.
Quite possibly the worst weapon since The XM-25 from CoD MW3 in Multiplayer.
DO NOT USE THIS WEAPON

... Brandon Keener's (Voice of Garrus) Facebook told me about this...
So I've been having fun with the N7 Typhoon (a damn mini gun) with my N7 Destroyer character.
I beat the Reapers on Bronze all by myself without falling down once (good cause I haave no medi gel). The carnage was awesome.
Guardians stand as much chance as Assault Troopers as the bullets of the Typhoon go right through the shield like it's tissue paper, even Atlas walkers get torn apart (silver). I haven't fought the Geth yet with this weapon and character but I imagine they'd get ripped apart too.
I'm great in the support role for my less powerful friends, like a tank supports infantry. My character itself has powerful shields and larger magazines when the targeting mode thing is on (I usually keep on though it sacrifices mobility), I have a remote shoulder missile launcher that gerts some kills here and there (as long as I keep it on it keeps picking it's own targets and fires at will), and I can fire 3 grenades at once. I don't even need my rockets for an Atlas anymore on silver. As long as watch out for turrets and remember to use cover I'm okay most of the time. Though I can't cloak and help my buddies as easily I make up for it with firepower, if I can clear the area in time consider yourself saved.
I named my N7 Destroyer "Panzer".
Post pics!
I don't have that capability. You'll have to get on one of the game nights and see for yourself. ;)
Here are pics the internet has provided though.

Firebase White against Geth. We just stood our ground, all 4 of us, behind cover indoors, one of them deployed that shield booster thing. I have long a long way to go before I start to really kick butt in Gold.
Congrats!
When you get the N7 Typhoon to level X, it destroys everything on Platinum in a matter of seconds. In that video I posted, Rich, a guy kills I think two banshees with fully barriers/armor with one clip from the Typhoon.

That gave me flashbacks to my first ever Gold match..
There I was, prepping up for a Bronze Match. I was sill new to the game, and was still not very good.
Then, suddenly, Mass Effect 3 gltiches out during loading of the map. Next thing I know, I'm in a Gold match, wave 1.
Dear God was I unprepared. But in the end, we came out victorious.

That'd be nice. But I'm in no hurry as I'd like to continue to grow a bit in Silver, I 'barely' survived. So many damn Primes... the money was good though. ;D
God damn I hate these f**king weapons in ME3 multi-player. Why the hell is there a reason for there to be 10 different "versions" of the same weapon? This is just making it more difficult to get the N7 Slayer!!!
I just hate getting f**king upgrades for shotguns and classes I never use and never any of the shit I actually do need. I still don't have the secondary colour for my Asari Adept. That's f**king criminal, man.
I have no idea what I have, I have so much shit, it's insane. I just want the damn characters I want to have, not this bullshit upgrade for a damn SMG that no one uses!
I have 6 snipers... and recently got the Widow III.
Where is my Carnifex or Wraith?

Yeah thats why I was in a hurry to "X" all my weapons before any of the DLCs come out ;D Now everything is way better, since a weapon which is already X can't drop again ::) Still the best tactic is to buy just lame packs so you can "X" your lame weapons fast so they don't drop anymore, then move on to the better pack until you "X" the next tier of weapons and finally go for the Spectre packs. Thats the fastest way to get your weapons fast. Otherwise you will get shit way more often than you will get something decent.
If you're on Xbox, delete the expansions... You won't lose the unlocks for them or anything, but I'll make it easier to get stuff from the vanilla game.

I totally feel your pain guys, I've just gotten into the multiplayer so I'm super behind on everything but it's been a major pain trying to get the upgrades and unlockables I want. Though I finally got the Piranha shotgun and put it with my krogan soldier and it's pure gold, just beautiful to watch him mow down tons of enemies like this:

Nope, not the Phantoms.
The Kai Leng suit-wearing beasts. Just got to see two in action just now, and it as f**king amazing. The first guy I saw was just going nuts, looked like he himself just barely got it because he was just playing around with everything, and it just looks super awesome.
Also, just unlocked two shitty Salarian things: One for experience, and a Salarian Infiltrator Unlock...f**king disappointing.

Ah, I've always associated the first one with both Kai Leng and the Phantoms due to the sword and that thingy attached to the palm of their hands.
Either way I want my Slayer!!!

Damn I wish there was a way to trade characters I am never useing any of these guys but I have two already. Do not remember what they are anymore.
Oh, god, that would be so f**king awesome if you could trade characters. f**k, how about that dumb N7 Rank, totally pointless, should at least let us accumulate it and use it as currency for different characters.
Yeah, the character trading would be amazing. I have so much shit for characters I'm never going to use, but I still don't have

One day, babeh. One day. ;-;
If you are so desperate to unlock things, just do the money glitch. EA can't do anything about it. Its just there so...
Dare I ask what the money glitch is?
Got patched out on 360 I'm certain, a friend tried when the rebellion dlc came out and it wouldn't work.
The glitch, was set difficulty to bronze, pick a certain enemy and map.
Must have at least 2 people, play to round 10 then complete the objective and get killed by the enemies.
In lobby host then changes the difficulty to gold and starts match again.
Host must leave as soon as the game starts,(make sure to reinvite them too)once the game restarts you will be on wave 10 instantly, complete objectives for the 35,000 or whatever and just keep repeating.
Not interested, might as well just play Silver.
If you play platinum, you make more money than doing that glitch anyway.
Every glitch game nets you 35,000+.
Every platinum gets you 130000+.
Overall, you make more money with platinum, and you make it faster. (Depending on your team.)
I play by da rulez!

No for some reson its been getting harder for me to get races. I would like one more Male Quarian, Batarian, Vorcha and at least one of the geth but when I get another character its an update or N7 and I have two already and I will never use them and that human with the whips.
My very first new character was a Geth Infiltrator, I think, just when the first DLC was announced.

Deleting the packs will just hide the characters/weapons that correspond to those packs. It wont remove anything.
This is the method I used to unlock the Resurgence characters, then the Rebellion characters.

Yeah.
Sweeper, I'll will give you all my SMGs for your Shotguns and/or Assault Rifles.

Hell, I would trade everything at this point to just raise up my chances of even unlocking the N7 Slayer!

It won't mess with your stuff, it'll just remove them from the store's random system, thus opening up spaces for the Earth characters/weapons./gear.

Just finished another awesome night with Sticks, Crazy, and guest star SpaceMarines.
Tore it up with my Geth Infiltrator I lovingly named "Synthfiltrator", and his personality and voice (when not sounding like a badass Decepticon) is a fastidious, nervous, and loud Jerry Seinfeld on PCP.
That would be me providing the voice.

That's friggin hilarious! All I got to match that is a krogan soldier named Bruce...
PIRANHA SHOTGUN!
...And a Piranha Shotgun thanks for the reminder ShadowPred!
Still the best weapon in the game, I would take all of its upgrades over an N7 Slayer any day, that's right, it's that damn good!
You've got a newsex weapon and I've got one last night too. The Reegar Carbine.
It's basically the Arc Gun from District 9, and I'm shedding tears at how absurdly amazing it is.

We need to team up with other members on here that have newsex weapons. Wait for a wave of enemies to begin and then we just stand in line, walking ever so slowly as we fire our weapons like f**king badasses.
Oh gawd yes. And with that, we'll gain our N7 characters!
Also, lets spread the term newsex. It's glorious.
Should we use it for everything. or just when talking about ME3?
Eeeeverything.
Eg. "Did you see dat newsex episode of Breaking Bad?"
It shall be done. Will use it sparingly.

I am pleased with my Krogan Vanguard "Urdnot Panzer". A fitting name.
Recently got back into enjoying Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, having fun again.
Unlocked the Cerberus Harrier, and fell in love the minute I used it. Screw all the other Assault Rifles (So far)
And the Batarian Solider... That Melee... It's amazing. Mostly for the noise it makes.

N7 Paladin.
f**king bullshit!
N7 Hurricane and N7 Slayer. :-\
Just played a fun match with Shadowpred.
Got a N7 Fury in the victory pack, then after the match unlocked a M-358 Talon and an N7 Shadow.
YEY.
Yeah, the game felt pretty chaotic, everyone was just moving left and right, running and gunning. Never saw that before. And this Paladin, I for sure thought that I would be able to use that shield while walking, what gives? Well, going to have to look at a youtube video to see if I can get any answers.
I tried to accept your invite Vakarian but it said the game was full.
I just saw the Reeger Carbine in my inventory and was like "Da hell? When did I get that?"

It's DLC available on PS3 and Xbox 360 allowing users to make key decisions that occur in ME1.
Why! Why! Why the f**k do I find out about this when I have no money!
Thank you both so much! ;D
It is DLC. It's even DLC for the 360...I mean, I believe that the PS3 has it.
Just saw the video, and I am more f**king excited over the fact that we are getting new weapons in Single Player, I have been bitching about this for weeks!!!

I love the N7 Solider.
And got the N7 Fury today, still haven't checked it out yet.
I'll probably be playing this game for a few rounds in the weekend...MAYBE. So if you see me on there and want to play a game, just give me a yell, people.
After a good run with Sharp Sticks, Crazy Rich, and SpaceMarines, I can safely say that the Phantom is the f**king GREATEST. I was amazed that it lived up to all of my hhhhhhhype, and beyond. I can f**king wreck with that thing... it's the Infiltrator I've wanted since day one, and dear god, that sword is my main weapon. I only carry a pistol because I have to.
Unfortunately, like with the Asari Adept, I still need dat secondary colour to maximize the sexiness.
We have quite the team going on. ;D
I not only finally got my Carnifex but I got the Carnifex II.
How much you want to bet that Leviathan is a rogue reaper.I beeeeet you.
I'd like to think so too as the definition of Leviathan is...
Quote(in biblical use) A sea monster, identified in different passages with the whale and the crocodile, and with the Devil.
It's possible our hero/heroine makes a deal with the devil (a sea dwelling rogue Reaper) and if so maybe it could even significantly support the paragon path in the end.
If not a sea dwelling reaper than it's definately monstrously big and dwelling at sea like the name suggest.
There were shots of abandoned battleships in the sea... so it's possible.
I could definitely picture a Reaper bursting out of the water and taking off into space.
... a Prothean ship?

Cant wait! love me some SP DLC. :D
I can't wait for this Leviathan DLC, if only to see how it effects the ending, however I can't wait to drive an Atlas underwater!
On the multiplayer side of things... I just got the N7 Shadow! I'm loving every minute of it! I'm a space ninja!
I am not playing often until the N7 craze dies down a bit more... f*cking annoying overpowered humans.
I havent played 360 ME3 for a while,I play my PC version abit more. I should jump on my 360 and go a few rounds with some Galaxy members,I need to get those characters lvled up more anyways.
I knew that N7 pack with the cerberus humans would get spammed.

I will wait and see if this is good or not, looks pretty intresting
I'll get it,looks like a solid peice of DLC. :)
Looks good, but I think I'm done with Mass Effect now. I just can't be bothered anymore.
It's going to suck having to replay this over again. Just to see how the ending changes...I mean, they did say that right? That it affects the ending?
They said that about a lot of things.
Either way, this DLC is going to have to wait, the money won't be spent on it for a long time.
I'll most definitely pick this up on release.

Finished Leviathan DLC. Its awesome,I loved it. Plus it has some great new information on the reapers which is amazing. I loved how they made finding Leviathan like a investgative deal,searching for clues and scanning worlds and finding things here and there to narrow the search for the beast.
Great addition,and a decent length too.
Sounds like something I would love. I'll be getting this now.

Animation is abit eh, I dont know why they made it revolving around James. He wasnt interesting at all in the game,and Bioware probably knew so they make him tag along in some missions as to say 'dont forget james is here' :P
Might give it a miss.
I just find it irritating that they replaced most of the voice actors. You can't have Anderson without Keith David's smooth cords vibrating in your ear. You just can't!

I can't wait for Paragon Lost but is it a full movie or its animated series?
It's a whole movie.
Great! I am not really into following any animated series right now.

I'll watch it when i'm able.
Don't like how the Asari is such a confusing amount like Liara both in look and tone of voice. I couldn't tell if this was a prequel until I saw the Collector ship. It seems like Vega refers to honoring Shepard.
VEGA!!!!
The one character I didn't even use, yet I wanted to know more about him, and this movie is going to give me what I want.

My reaction to Skyrim.
I f**king knew that the Collectors would eventually become a new enemy to battle in MP mode.
Might be able to spur my attention to MP for an hour or two.
So lets see... get Mass Effect 3 now, and enjoy the Retaliation DLC when it's released...
or-
Wait until November 6th and get it for PC and enjoy EVERYTHING.
I got it for PC so I could play all three games.
..The irony of that being I still ended up starting with 2 instead of the first one.
I could never see myself playing Mass Effect 3 on PC.

If I am not mistaken BioWare partially confirmed the Collectors as enemy DLC long time go. It was expected though. But anyway, this DLC is coming out the day when the new X-COM game is coming out too so I will pass the DLC for now :)
Supposedly, there's evidence we might be getting Volus in the next DLC. No idea how much of this is true, though.

Operation: BLOODLUST begins this weekend!
I finally got around to buying this game and finished it in 3 days.
It felt like there was 10 times the content in it of the first two games combined.
Will someone please explain all the hate this game got? The ending was no where near as bad as people made it sound. I seem to recall someone even threatened Bioware/EA with a lawsuit over it.
Spoiler
I chose the synthesis ending, but haven't seen all the other outcomes, so please, don't spoil them for me. I just felt that it wasn't all that it could have been; they didn't answer very many questions and I can easily see more satisfying conclusions to the trilogy.
Make me understand.
I still haven't done the extended cut ending, and I haven't had any of it 'spoiled' for me. I just... I don't know, I have no initiative to do it, but I think about how much I love the series and I feel like I owe it to myself. The reactions were improved to what it added.
The main problem I had with the ending was that, even after everything I did, the characters had no real notes to leave on, without any real closure, and the universe felt like it had been rendered a cold, hopeless, and distant place again, as opposed to the sprawling galactic community that had been established prior... which was being fought for the the entire time.
I hear that if the Extended Cut does anything, it's inject a sense of hope to the future.

I myself was ok with how the game ended during those few days I played through it the first time. I myself didn't get all the hate, but I understood why people hated it once I learned the exact reasons, it's just that those reasons weren't exactly anything for me to complain about.
Anyway, the video below gives you some of the reasons why people didn't like it.

Such terribly incorrect BS. Lost ended with every major question that had effected the course of the show answered in some aired form, and provided pitch perfect closure for each of the characters. Mass Effect 3 ended with the characters going "HUH..." and the player going "What the f**k". Seeing as every narrative movement in the game prior was a stroke of genius, I was prepared for one hell of a beautiful ending, Halo 3 style... but instead, it was "So that was cool, right?! Buy some DLC!"

Don't remind me, games over wtf just happened EA's like hey, hey you, buy our dlc.
It was EA,They tested what people are willing to buy.The Prothean was an integral part of the story and they made you pay or pre order in order to see his story.
Disgruntled employee's aired their concerns and posted story boards for what is to come.I tend to believe it,stuff was leaked and it ended up to be in the game.If you google you will find it.EA is just a giant grinder,they buy the company,grind the shit out of all their idea's,take the best that company has to offer for themselves and discard the dried desiccated husk that we called Bioware.
They done it with DICE(Battlefield) and Visceral games(Dead Space) to name a few.
They're making another ME so they aren't done with Bioware yet..

It's hard to read because it was removed before it became big but basically,It's a Bioware employee who was willing to spill the beans.Read it,its such a shit game but I can't help feel at least 50% of this story board is actually real,ME3 was leaked this way.
That particular case was debunked.
Oh right.
EA will probebly use a few ideas from it though!Bioware won't have a say.
I remember reading that, don't quite believe the Mass Shift stuff but the first part about just how crappy Ea treat bioware is believeable enough.
Mass Effect 2 was the best out of the 3.Such a good story and the ending was pretty damn amazing added with a pretty amazing south track.

It was EA,They tested what people are willing to buy.The Prothean was an integral part of the story and they made you pay or pre order in order to see his story.

Mass Effect 2 was the best out of the 3.Such a good story and the ending was pretty damn amazing added with a pretty amazing south track.
When you blow the human reaper up and escape from the Collector base I creamed my pants.
That scene gave me chills.
Completely optional to do so, but I will say that he is the only new character of the bunch that is the most interesting and the best backstory.
Human, you've changed nothing.Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater.That what you know as Reapers are your salvation though destruction

Anything involved with the extended cut DLC for ME3 was essentially things that should have been in the game in the first place.
Personally I prefer the indoctrination theory over anything Bioware gave us.
I prefered the indoctrination theory before the extended cut, after the extended cut I prefer what Bioware gave us.

So if the original mass effect is coming to ps3, does that mean it's an optimzed port? Or will it still have the same terrible framerate problems and stuttering like on the 360 version?

Good to see the PS3 crew will be able to get a taste of Mass Effect. Not going to buy this however because I have the collectors editions of the whole trilogy.
Appropriately epic trailer.
..And I got the games on the PC cause I thought I wouldn't be able to play all three on the PS3 ever....
Well then...
Makes me wonder how could they not just give a ending that gives the fans the closure we f**king desire! I mean I'd love to have seen Shepard building that house for Tali and little happy ever after.

Shepards story had to end some time. Just move on. They ain't going to give us anythiing more on Shepards fate. I just wish that they could have expanded on the Survival Destroy ending.
I think it ended great, with the extended version that added more closure and probably should of been in the game in the first place.
Personally, I didn't like the ending, even in the extended cut.
I didn't make the game, though, and have better things to do than waste my time complaining over and over again about it.
I enjoyed the shit out of the game right up to The Catalyst. Everything before that is fan-f**king-tastic.
ME3 isn't a ruined game. It's just been f**ked over by corporations.
People still bitching about the ending? f**k sake. The ending was fine,I loved it and enjoyed it. what tali didnt get her house? so what? Reapers are stopped no one thought it would be just 'press a button and happy ending for galaxy'
Even the extended cut gave closure and still people whined. sick of reading it. deal with it,thats how the story goes.

That's what I wanted for the ending to be pretty much set in stone and
this is what he/she did with their lives, not some "Tell me another story about the Shepard" crap.

The Reapers actually win if you don't choose a colour, besides that, yep.
I would of liked to have a house with Tali, but sometimes things don't go as planned, it's life, sometimes you gotta make the shitty call for the greater good, nobility.

Tell you the truth I couldn't get Tali anyway cause I started a Femshep account with my mates as joke then started to get into the game. :laugh:
The ending is good. I destroyed the bastards (that's the war about after all) and my Shep took a breath under the ruins. In the end - the enemy of the universe is dead and the main protagonist is alive. What more do you want? Its the most happy ending we can get. Just look at the scale of the war and how many races were involved - ofc it would be a mess after it, but still we didn't lost, the Reapers are gone and that's the important.
We wanted something that actually took all of our choices into account, like we were promised. Something that didn't contradict all of the underlying themes set up in the previous games.
In a sense, something that wasn't a rushed piece of shit.
Bioware realized they can't do that.

Femshep makes the most sense, and Jennifer Hale makes Shepard far more convincing than Mark Meer does.
I have huge respect for Jennifer Hale, I mean she is like on par with Nolan North in terms of my favorite voice actor. But I feel Mark Meer is hugely underrated. I think he does (did?) a terrific job as Male Shepard.

Meer did do a good job. To clarify what I meant about Hale doing a more convincing job was how they speak the lines. Hale just sounds more like she's not reading off of a script than Meer does. Again, this is not to say that this is how Meer always sounds like, I'm just talking in regards of comparing the two. For example:
Spoiler
the scene where Shepard is bloody and heading to the controls as Hackett is saying "Commander Shepard?!" When Shepard just has to press the button but he/she says that they can't see it or whatever before he/she passes out; that's what I meant. Hale is more convincing as someone who is practically out of energy when speaking those lines. And other lines as well, but that goes without saying I guess.
Of course, I understand and agree with you. But look at how much more experience Hale has had in the voice acting field than Meer. Even Mark himself said that he couldn't believe he was given the lead role along side Jennifer. She's been doing it since like the Iron Man Cartoon series back in 95. Though the nostalgia of hearing her in Metal Gear Solid is great every time. :)
I prefer male shepard. I just dont have that feeling of leadership in the femshep's voice. I would follow Male Shep but Femshep commanding a huge ass fleet..her voice just doesnt give me that confiedent feeling.

I'm not gonna argue with that, but since we both understand what we mean, then everything is a-ok.

Anyone have advice for online? I can't seem to do very much damage to stronger enemies, especially ones with barrier and armor.
I've been running around with the crappy start weapons modified to X level , but it's still not enough.

Theres nothing wrong with using starting weapons that are at level X - Provided you have appropriate mods of course. The Mantis is one of the best handling sniper rifles in the game. Pair that up with an extended barrel and whatever other mod of your choice and you can do some serious damage. The good thing about those weapons is your powers will recharge relatively quickly compared to others. Seriously I can derail Silver mode using bread and butter weapons. It will all come to you in time.
What class are you using btw?
Shotgun the f**king Brutes, Banshees, Geth Primes, etc. !!!
Also, FLAME ROUNDS

This, I have no compaints against Meer. My male Shepard was the default look the whole way through the series. Both of their performances were wonderful slow-burns through the series, as their stress amped up from usually rock-solid to slipping toward the end. Really hit the peak at the scenes after Thessia. It's all part of how Shepard becomes more defined as a character and if that meant fewer dialogue choices, I'm fine with that.
I'll always defend Mark Meer's performance; he's a real actor and he knows what he's doing, and for me, it showed.

This. Completely this. Meer was wonderful in the role. He's traditionally a stage actor (improv as a specialty), so he's not used to the recording studio setting; but even with that, I've always loved his voice. Hale is great, and I can think of no one else as femme, but for me, Meer will always be Shepard.

Do not bother buying Premium Spectre packs. If you want to level up quickly, get loads of points in games and unlock more characters just keep buying Spectre Packs and Jumbo Equipment packs.
Using Jumbo Equipment Packs gives you all the ammo powerups, missile launchers, medigel, all the stuff you need to essentially cripple your enemy.
What I usually do is just do two rounds on Silver, buy a Spectre Pack then do one more silver match and buy a Jumbo Equipment pack to replenish medigel and whatnot. Essentially it keeps you having the edge, having fun, getting more XP and you don't need to spend up to an hour (Posing the risk of not being able to survive because you have no equipment) just to unlock a Premium package which will most likely not give you what you want.

I was under the impression that the PSP is the better value since you get two guaranteed rares for about 50,000 each, instead of 60,000 for one.
Does the jumbo pack provide everything I need, supply wise? Or will I have to buy something else to get these "Flame rounds"?
Also, is it possible to hold more than 2 missiles or medi gels at a time per mission? I swear I see people spamming these things constantly.

Yeah in a JEP your guaranteed 5 Medigel, 5 Missiles, 5 Ammo Packs and 5 Recovery Packs. On top of that you get random things like Assault Rifle amps, or biotic amps for example. (Amps will last for one match and depending on the level will increase the effectiveness of whatever you assign in that slot) You will also get ammo powerups. (Flame rounds are actually called Incendiary Rounds btw)
Also be careful with what you choose, for example don't use Drill Rounds if your weapon already has armor piercing capabilities on it. Try and mix and match with your equipment.
Oh shit, yeah INCENDIARY ROUNDS!!
My misinformation was not on purpose!
Any advice for the N7 shadow? I started using her last night, but can't decide what weapon to use.
Just use the Carnifex (Or other heavy pistol)
Then upgrade the Sword Damage all the way maximizing mellee damage. Don't bother with the Shadow Strike, it's only real use is to get out of a tight jam, rather upgrade the tactical cloak (Which is more useful for disarming objectives and escaping) Also make sure the level 6 sword damage is set to do more damage to armor, the other power (I forget it's name - basically you kinda throw a massive field of energy and it does damage to shields) can be used to disrupt an enemies shields or barriers then you can cut them into swiss cheese with your sword. Keep weapons as light as possible, you'll get surrounded easily and will have to rely on your cloak to get out of a jam.
I'm officially a believer in the premium spectre pack...I got a volus adept, an ultra rare sniper, and reset powers card all in one pack. ;D

Basically just make her as nimble as possible and stack the Sword Damage points with the Electric Shock as the final upgrade. I personally prefer Shadow Strike to Electric Slash, but it's a matter of Agility vs Range. I like to be able to zip to one part of the map to the next, quickly taking enemies out, so Shadow Strike is my choice. It's also brilliant for saving downed teammates that are about to face the boot.
Gotta ask... what's the point of the volus adept? All you do is spam the hell out of shield regen and try to keep your teammates alive, but what's the point of that? I always thought pure support was best with superior firepower. Killing or distracting an enemy before they can even do damage to your teammates has to be better than letting them take the damage, but healing them constantly and having them do most of the work. Doesn't seem like an efficient class at all.

I prefer some firepower amongst other things to aid my team but the volus adept can be very usful for those who just want to play in a majorly supportive role rather than being more of a "glory hound".

Its nice but its disappointing. Mass Effect for me is fun because of its fan base, fan art, fan music, fan fics and definitely the fan characters. Those who have made female Turians (And trust me it's a lot since Turians are the most popular, just barely beating the Quarians.) More then 90% of them have fringes. I feel like that fact in itself became fandon (A combination of the word Fandom Canon. Canon that was made for fans by fans.) I feel like bioware threw that out the window. So yah I'm a bit disappointed but still excited that females at least are now canon in the universe.

I finally found a build I like for silver.
The Turian Havoc soldier is a pretty good tank by default, but the stimulant pack makes him unkillable. I mostly use the piranha, charge into groups of 5+ enemies, then head shot them all. Drill rounds shred guardians and armored guys like tissue paper. Slap a cyclonic modulator on, and I'm basically a walking damage sponge. I can let turrets fire on me point blank without worry. I may as well stand there and do a tap dance singing trolololol.
I like the look of the female turian,it makes sense that the males have the spines. Im content with it.
the real thing to get excited about is..

I'm just guessing they're gonna go with "It's an alien f**k Earth Evolution logic"
Why are you guys hating on tits? They're for breast feeding I don't see why Turian's wouldn't have tits. ???
A lot of fans probably assume Turians are enough like birds that they don't feed their young through breastfeeding.
They seem to forget Turians have a decent amount of things birds don't. Including an exoskeleton-like carpace for skin.
So it's not out of the question that they might have tits.

If you romanced Liara in ME1, you can rekindle your relationship with her at the end of
Lair of The Shadow Broker DLC
le sigh. Because EA lack the creative mind "how do we make it look feminine?" "lets put tittah's on it!" "brilliant"
no creative design at all.
Is it possible she was just trying to make her self attractive to other species? We all know how Liara's father likes a nice rack. ;)

I should go...
Anyone notice on multiplayer how almost no one plays smart?
-1 teammate goes down, and everyone drops the objective to rush into choke point and get slaughtered, and the icing on the cake is when the original person who died uses medi gel and gets dafuq out of there.
-When it's time to extract, almost everytime people rush into the extract zone and attempt to defend it for 2 minutes, instead of running to the other side of the map and waiting patiently for the enemy AI to get close, and then circle around the map and get a guaranteed full extraction.
I haven't noticed that as often as most people do. I tend to get lucky and find some pretty smart people playing on PC.
Can't say anything about players on Consoles, though.
yeah I have played with some smart people but there is some players that bunch up Ive had to save a few myself from their stupid tactics. but most times its a well rounded team im with.
If I do anything truely stupid in muliplayer its because my 'character' took a llife of its own and I can no longer control it.
I like saving my friends whenever possible. Sometimes I'd have a thing on my back or something but I'd ditch it to save someone like Space Sweeper, Sharp Sticks or Space Marines. What good is fortune and glory if your friends don't survive to share with? Besides my character has his strengths and his weaknesses. My strengths help my friends, they have strengths that help my weaknesses. On my own the chances of defeat are higher, I fight bravely and steadfast but the chances are still higher, but like Han Solo would say "Don't tell me the odds".
Teamwork is what I am about.
I like what the Canadian Forces has to say, "Teams survive, individuals die".
I'm really missing this game. :( Each time I hear this piece of music in H4 that sounds like its from ME, I get sad and wish I could run through Mass Effect 3 again, as I only beat it once.

Cause I had to trade it, along with a few other games, several months back when we were really stressing for some cash.
ah damn that sucks man. least it would be pretty cheap to pick up again when or if you get around to it.
Oh, I'll definitely get back around to it. Maybe after Christmas, with the money I get from the Grandparents and such. Are you an xbo- OH YOU ARE! Dude, I've never had the pleasure of gaming with you.
Yeah I know lol I got you and most of everyone on my XBL list but yeah,never gotten around to having a game. We have to fix that.
Yeeaaass, we must. Are you a Halo-er? I wanna say you're not, but I'm not sure. I don't have AC3(BUT I WILL AT CHRISTMAS!)...hmmm. Since I don't want to get to far off topic, you could PM me with a few games that you do LIVE on, and we'll go from there.
I got all the Halo's aside from H4 I'm getting that at xmas,I'll shoot you a pm dude.
I couldnt find a single game last night,i dunno if servers where down or what but there was nothing lol I was kinda amazed and annoyed

Yanick Roy is the studio director over at Bioware Montreal, and via the Bioware Blog he officially announced they are working on the 4th installment of the Mass Effect series. Many fans are actually upset by the news of a 4th game. My sister has told me she wont even play the game. Being a massive Mass Effect fan, the fact that they "ended" the trilogy, and are now continuing on with the series is a big no no to many fans. Personally I say if a game is still awesome, selling well, and popular, why end it? It would be financially half retarded to end a series if that was the case. That's why Resident Evil will never come to an end. More past the break.
The game will be made with the Frostbite engine which currently powers Battlefield 3, and will power the 4th Battlefield and Dragon Age III. Yanick also makes mention to keep an eye on their jobs page because they are always looking for new people to consider.
"The other thing I can tell you is that, while it will be very respectful of the heritage built over the course of the first three games, with the original trilogy now concluded and the switch over to a new engine, we are exploring new directions, both on the gameplay and story fronts. You can still expect the pillars the franchise is known for to be fully intact though, including diverse alien races, a huge galaxy to explore, and of course rich, cinematic storytelling."

Unsurprising news, but uninteresting too. BioWare's been gutted, and this franchise lost me with the last game.

Hoping for some new Alien races.
Specifically, releasing the bottom left as a different species from the Krogan. (It was originally a scrapped Krogan design, but God Damn do I love the way it looks.)

I honestly don't understand all the hatred for the MEIII ending. It was perfect. However, I dunno how I feel about another installment.
A new installment is insane to me. You can't make a game based on what happens after. And you can't make a game that takes place in the past with the same kind of freedom as the last three ME games did, because certain things have been set in stone and the developer would need to avoid retconning something by accident.
I still have hope... I love this game fanchise way to much for it to be healthy
I think this should just be merged with the ME3 thread; it's pretty much the general ME thread as it is. No need for a new one.
Merged topics and changed the title. If it works for the Halo thread it should work here.
Guys, the reason the ending for MEIII was so broad and static across all three "choices" is because it can be continued and re-written at the will of EA/BioWare in the case of a game to succeed it. They're thinking they can pull a Halo 4, minus keeping the same protagonist from what they're calling here "the original trilogy", yet insisting to call it 'Mass Effect 4'. It sounds like they've got a completely new studio working on it, but they really don't, which is weird that they seem to be making such a large effort to say that they'll respect previous work done on the series. It's not like 343i where it's a fresh set of minds taking the franchise on, but the same people... but this sounds entirely like an EA exec talking through Yanick. Mass Effect 4 was always going to happen.
Disturbing power play politics seem to be taking place internally, and as creative leads leave Bioware out of what is no doubt extreme disapppointment concerning where the franchise is headed set off warning lights in my head. But can I jump ship? Of course not. Because I'm a fan of the 98% of this incredible series; no doubt you can boil down that 2% being the trilogy ending and EA's interference. I'm not a fan of hyperbole when looking at how that effects my thoughts on everything before that, aside from it being belittled by what the ending said to us (pre-shoe-horned-Extended Cut). If Casey Hudson is still around through development, the series from a storytelling and world-expanding standpoint still holds its credibility, because he's been the number one guy at the head of that department since day one. If he and the rest of the writing/creative staff start taking a knee to EA at every turn that can squeeze out a few more dollars, then the series is truly lost.
Can I form my opinion of the future based on Mass Effect 3's awful corporate-cop-out ending? No. But what it does do for me is turn on warning signals in my head, telling me to proceed with caution. This is a far different case from Halo 4, wherein there I believed it was being conceived for the wrong, dishonest reasons by a company that may have been formed just to process money to drones of people bound to follow the franchise anywhere, but my trust was gained by that very company through subsequent showings of their passion, commitment, and strength. Here, it seems a once great, even legendary studio could be getting worn into dust, lacking creative integrity or passion. EA does this to many; it is known.
Ever since ME 3 ended I pretty much said good-bye to Bioware after that clusterf**k of an ending and the reception it got. EA has done far more harm to Bioware, and I don't think that anyone should doubt that EA had their f**king hands all over the rushed ending. If this is a sign of things to come, then I fear that Bioware will keep on continuing to do what they want, but not before EA starts cracking that whip.
In terms of choice/story, EA really only sees it's chance to crack the whip at endings. Unfortunately for us, that was demonstrated at the largest one. EA and BioWare were already together at ME2's ending, and I f**king love that one. It's when an ultimate conclusion is reached, however, that they must step in and say "uh-uh", pressuring the creative leads to keep it open to keep producing mo' money.
It's an evil practice, but not an incomprehensible one.
But how exactly are they keeping the ending open? If they are going to continue right after ME3, they are screwed. If they want to have a game take place before the events of all three games they are going to be limiting themselves because they have to be careful not to make any decision making that would affect the events in the three games. I think they should just stop where they're at and work on a new IP.
I'm just thinking, and this new game is the one shot at redemption this series has. I honestly hope it's quality, I truly do, for the sake of my love for this franchise. But I still just doubt it'll be done right.
They need to do away with their BS about a new human character and just do a game based on the war against the Rachni and have you play a rookie Krogan who works his way up the ladder.
Or maybe play as a Prothean.
Or a "choose your own adventure" sort of deal that changes depending on which species you choose?
... I just really have no idea where this game is going we need more info.
Follow the Krogan soldier to old age! We can even start as a Baby Krogan! C'mon people...you know you want this...BABY KROGAN GAMEPLAY.

It was honestly the best thing out of the extended ending...being able to see one...omg, it made the entire Krogan Genophage storyline completely worth it.
a new trilogy can easily be done. The foundations of the ME saga have been laid and they can easily craft a story that entwines the players choice from ME3 and into the new series. Kinda like in a sequence at the beginning of ME2 when you do the recap questionaire thing.
Im excited to see what direction the ME universe will go to. following on from what we have played. The extended cut shown us that everything is getting remade in time so I say patience and see what happens.
So sequel or prequel?, Bioware wanna know.

I'm signing for a sequel. Honestly, I want to see how they tackle the universe after putting a gaping hole of varying colour in it.
yeah I'm with sequel aswell I want to see what happens after.
Sure there are some great moments in ME history Id love to see in a prequel like Quarians getting kicked off their own planet by the Geth. and the Protheans laying the artifacts around but I can live without it because i know how it happens already.
I would prefer the sequel,fresh ground,new history.
Sequel sequel sequel sequel sequel. Give us a sequeeeeeeeel. I would much prefer a sequel, Im getting a little tired of the whole 'prequel' thing. I wanna know what happens AFTER all the stuff I did, not before.
I definitely want a sequel too, would be interesting to see which ending they go with, the 'galaxy can continue as normal' destroy ending, 'galaxy is fairly normal but now we have reaper neighbours' control ending or the 'cool story bro' synthesis ending.
A prequel just seems redundant at this point.
EA sucking the life out of a good company,nothing new.Game companies should really stay away from EA,they will take your idea's,keep them for themselves and throw you out to the trash.I guess people will sell anything at the right price.
Sequel.

But you can't f**king do that! Things are completely different based on the ending you might get! Unless Bioware somehow is able to bring in all the decisions including the ending for EVERY player, then I cannot see a sequel happening at all.

As far as I'm concerned, the series kinda hit the low point with the ending. What they do from there really doesn't affect me much. I'm just curious to see how, if at all, they do it at this point.

If they are doing a sequel, but can't pull off having all the endings in place with every decision ever made, every variable...for the player, then this is going to alienate so many fans.
As long as it makes EA money, I doubt it will matter.
Though after that whole ending fiasco, I doubt Mass Effect is the big money maker it used to be.

Ha. That made me laugh. It will make money. I don't give a shit about people saying that they won't play it because its sucking the soul or whatever from the company. 99.4% of the people who say that will end up buying it, or at least renting it.
Now, there could be a way to do a sequel, which is what I prefer as well, with all the endings....its to have all of them come to the be same about 4-5 levels into the story, or something to that sort.

I saw a Mass Effect 3 Calander in the mall today. Friends said I nearly came right inside the store.
The one thing I think should be fixed is the apperance of Tali and the Quarians out of their suits. That photo of Tali was just a rushed photo manip and no real creative design in it at all. I did like the face markings though so keep them. I imagined Quarians to be an extremely pale colour,most likely hairless and their eyes look like Riddicks eyes but very bright since we can see them through the visor at times. I would say they have holes in their body in some locations too,maybe where parts of the envirosuit plugs into their body.
The photo in the game didnt sit right with me,I dont think living your life in a suit would leave you haveing flowing locks of black hair.

You're right Veps, it's madness that Bioware had the f**king audacity to use an actual person's face to represent what Tali actually looks like. (and the rest of the quarians, I guess.)

They could hve easily used that models face for Tali and put more effort in the design,like they did with the Asari. All they did was put face markings on a photo basically.
So are you saying that your main problem is the design, and not really that they just grabbed a stock photo of a person's face?
Yes

Remember, though. they are aliens. Sure, a humans hair wouldn't do that, but who knows about a Quarian. Unless, of course, they explained their biology somewhere.
yeah thats true,I dont hate what they put in the game. she looks beautiful and it could work. I'm just disappointed with the lack of design,it just looks too..human.

Oh, I definitely feel you. I didn't like the design that much either. I was just saying that they don't need to follow human rules.
I think there is really one simple thing they could have done to make it look less human;
No Human Styled Hair.
The Asari are literally exactly the same face wise as a human, pretty much. The reason no one really complains, though, is cause their hair, or tentacle things, are what makes them alien.
Rannoch seems to be very desert-like, from what we've seen. There are a lot of creatures native to deserts that they could have taken inspiration from, or used that environment to design something much more interesting, like the Asari.
Just.. That Human Hair... f**king...
I actually dont mind this fan design for her,has the hair and such. I would just make the skin paler and those head spikes more smooth into the head instead of spiking up.

IMO whoever made it tried to make her too attractive with the eyes and lips and I always got the feelings as thou Tali wouldn't be a 10 but more like a 6 being tech geek and everything. Thou it might just be because if she's beautiful she might leave me for Garrus or just not be into Femshep... :'(

I like everything but the spikes. They seem redundant, what with the Asari sporting similar features.
The spikes feel more Turian to me than Asari.
What I don't get is why every fan design of a Quarian has them colored pink or purpleish skin-wise. It doesn't entirely make much sense to me.

Yep,same here. I really dont like purple skin,I think people just see Tali in her purple colours and think 'she must be purple hurrr' makes no sense. If their planet is rocky and desert like and most have lived in a suit their whole life their skin would not be purple at all.
meh...I think this one did a much better job:

Holy shit, so soon? Damn, hopefully I get paid back the 50 bucks I am owed on Monday so I can be ready.
And I still haven't gotten Leviathan.
Though at this rate, I might just wait until I know they're done with SP DLC, then get them all and just do a ME3 playthrough with the DLC.
I refuse to pay more for dlc than I did the game itself, and Mass effect games never get dlc discounts on the pc. Bioware can choke on EA's massive corporate thundercock until the day comes.
well majority of the ME DLC is free,so I dont really mind paying a few bucks for some good single player stuff.

Free multiplayer maps to encourage people to play a frustrating system that "rewards" you with a slap in the face, because it takes longer to actually get what you want than it does to complete the campaign multiple times. Then they even give you the option of gambling $3 for a very small chance of unlocking that special something.
Oh, and then they remove things actually important to the game plot and charge you for it. And then it's basically impossible to unlock every ending without playing at least a little multiplayer...did I mention the ending?

I just hope they leave this series alone. The ending was controversial, but expanding it just to quell the fanbase might further hurt the series. No more sequels, just leave it be.
Now you know that's not going to happen. Part of the reason the endings were so dry and without diversity was because they were planting the seeds for sequels that could carry the series' numbers from '4' onward.

Yeah some words really stood out for me,it could very well be her.
After seeing the trailer I've noticed what looks as though Aria pulls Shepard in for a kiss. So I have a very important question for you guys. Are you able to bone Aria? :)
Is it worth getting back in to multiplayer if I havent really played since the game first came out? I imagine i would need to get all the DLC, but any characters I have are still super low leveled.
Absolutly in fact I will help you if you want. Always looking for more people to play with.
Sounds good! Let me know when you want to play a couple games.
I am free now for a few hours what do you play on?
i seem to have unfortunately lost my Mass Effect 2 copy. Pity. But still..suppose I can get the Mass Effect Trilogy coming out soon.
really need to sync timezones so I'm on when others are on lol.
I'm gonna get on in bout an hour or so if anyone is keen.
Im on X360, anyone up for some multiplayer?
Sorry just got off xbox for the day I am normaly busy im my weekends. But I am always free to play weekdays.
I've never played a Mass Effect game but always wanted to. I have a PS3 and I hate jumping into game series without knowing the full story so I always said I wouldn't bother unless the first game eventually made it to PS3. Then to my surprise im raking about on the internet looking for a new game to play and I discover there's going to be a Mass Effect Trilogy on PS3 next Friday. I think I'll wait until next year after the flurry of games like Aliens, Dead Space 3, Bioshock, MGR etc but I'll finally get to play them all. ;D

Exactly the same! I just came on here to see if anybody had bought the trilogy who had not played the games previously! I'm thinking about getting it next week on payday!
f**k waiting until next year. Im gonna go out tonight and buy it. Gonna have two weeks off work for christmas soon so inbetween all the excessive festive drinking sessions I can get lost in the Mass Effect games. Apparantely over the 3 games Ive got at least 100 hours of gametime to get through? Wowsers.
Mass Effect virgin no more (well in an hour or so).
Can anybody recommend me any of the story DLC's or Add Ons that are worth getting before playing. Apparently there's an extended version of ME3 with a "slightly" more acceptable ending?
At least I've heard all of the uproar of how poor the ending is so I won't be as pissed off as you guys were because I'll be expecting it.
Personally, the only two DLC missions I played were the Lair of the Shadow Broker and Arrival.
Shadow Broker is good if you like Liara and want more of her, and Arrival is a great way to tie in Mass Effect 2 to Mass Effect 3, as the events in it lead up to the begging of 3.
I can't really say anything about any of the other DLC packs, though I'm sure others here could.
Just watched the trailers for all 3 games while waiting for the first one to install. I can honestly say I havn't been this excited to start a new game series (new to me at least) since the first Uncharted and Bioshock games.
Aaaaaaaand here we go!!!
Im thinking of getting ME 3 for WiiU
going to get the trilogy soon..oh so soon..
What does promoting do? Does a higher N7 have anyone good properties like more damage and all that?
As far as I can tell it's just bragging rights more or less. Like a "Lol look how pro I am" sort of thing.

not to mention people are in the thousands and thousands on the leader boards so if thats your thing your're too late.
So basically if I f**k up their states or wanna change something I promote them?
Pretty Much, though the Power Reset card things would probably be more useful for that.
Quote from: Lie on Dec 15, 2012, 06:21:13 AM

From what I remember when you promote a character, you're basically reverting the entire class to level one...or zero, or whatever the level starting point is.
Promoting permanently adds 75 points to your war assets. It also gives 10 N7 points to your online rank, and eventually challenge points...which leads to unlocking a banner to display on your name/rank thing while in the lobby.
It's possible to lock yourself out of the worse endings by having promoted too many times, though it only adds to your war assets when you're online. The people on the top of the N7 leaderboard must have tens of thousands of war assets by now.
Review for the Striker Assault Rifle;

I'm gonna try it again with the stabilizer but Bioware must of know people would f**k up their controller trying to compensate for that shit. :laugh:
Oh god, I agree. The Striker is a wheelbarrow full of dogshit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fiq1utOz9Do#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fiq1utOz9Do#ws)
Got to wave 9 yesterday just me as N7 Destroyer and guy as N7 Shadow, Shadow Strike is wonderful! ;D

I don't know what that is. It looks Geth, or maybe Reaper.
Quote from: KNIGHT on Dec 17, 2012, 08:37:18 AM

It's a Geth Bomber from the multiplayer. It basically hovers over your position and dumps grenades all over you.
A real pain in the ass.
And its hitboxes are completely broken. I don't know why, maybe its because of the latency, but most of the time when you are shooting it your bullets do not connect >:(
I've not played the game in ages. But I do remember it having rather tough armour.
Nah! All it needs is about 2-3 rounds of the Harrier. :D
Yeah exactly, the harrier is a rather powerful weapon. It's just in other games, turrets (especially flying ones) are a lot weaker due to them being hard to hit.
Phantoms and nemeses are worse imo. Impossible to hit with lag unless you use powers.
Personally I hate the Geth Pyro, they come out of no way sometimes and it's always when your fighting something else, so even when you run or kill the thing the long range enemy's just picks you off.
Got a N7 Shadow took a bit of getting used to more than the Slayer but tomorrow I'll start my second build; Shadow Strike with shield/barrier drain and longer cloaking with one more power before deactivating. Cloak, Shadow Strike, Cooldown, Shadow Strike, Cloak runs out, run for the hills.
I really like the turian havoc speced for maximum tank mode and duration plus the grenade capacity upgrade and using the N7 Crusader. You're basically invincible for 9 seconds at a time and you can do this at least 4 times. The crusader is basically a black widow without the scope...and its easy to get more headshots with it than most sniper players. It penetrates armor, too, so guardians die in 1 hit usually.
My personal favorite class is:
Turian Soldier
Harrier Assault Rifle. (Level 5 magazine upgrade and Level 5 Extended Barrel)
Fully leveled Marksman with fire rate and damage at max.
Pair marksman with an ammo power and an assault rifle, you can turn the biggest enemies into Swiss cheese.
I do like to play with the Turian Ghost Aswell, because the jet pack and invisibility cloak look badass.
So...is anybody plannin on watching Paragon Lost? Also, has anybody seen the two Fan Films that have been released, Red Sand and Assignment?
The trailer never impressed me enough I'm afraid, I suppose if I see it on offer or online somewhere ill give it a watch,but I don't plan on getting it ASAP.
I have seen some ME fan fics on Machinima.com which was pretty cool, had a paragon and renegade choice system that the viewer could choose. Not sure if its the same fan fics you are talking about though.

Haven't actually seen the trailer for PL yet. I think it'll probably be on Youtube or something a few weeks after its release, so I'll catch it on there. :D
Ah, yeah, yeah, that's Assignment. I'll have to check it out in the morning.

That be the dream! How much shots in a clip?;
N7 Destroyer
Same gun same mods (lower lvl :()
With Devastator Mode, Hawk Missile, and Multi- grenade max'd out for power.
I also play as N7 Slayer but that's more for fun.
I can't exactly remember how many rounds, but you still burn through ammo like a mother f**ker.

Harbinger: THIS HURTS YOU
Shepard: I know *sniff*
Im not very far into the first game but I am absolutely falling in love with it. Ive been playing 8 hours and the only actual story missions ive done are the eden prime and being made a spectre. After that ive been exploring various systems and planets with the mako and doing the sidequests.
Driving across the barren worlds gave me a "Prometheus" feel to it and the first time a thresher maw burst out of the ground I almost shit myself.
I've heard all of the RPG elements to this first game are significantly cut down in the sequels but Ive never been an RPG fan so while Im enjoying this game I don't think I'll be to disapointed by that. The only RPG's ive ever played from start to finish were the Knights of The Old Republic games.

Glad you're liking it, it's definitely one of the most fun times I've ever had playing a game. The first Mass Effect games is one of my favorite games of all time, and it was and still is a lot of fun going out and exploring the galaxy, and discovering completely new things. Make sure to have your characters ready as all hell when you go to Noveria.
I must admit the exploration is wearing a bit thin now. You essentially go to the same planet, only with a different colour pallet and varying degrees of rocky terrain, scout about for rocks, debris and other artifacts and then do the same side missions in the same caves, bunkers or ships with slightly different lay outs.
I'm loving the game but the intial excitement is wearing off. Certainly not for the main story though. I'm trying to get all of this out of the way, and do as many side missions and as much exploring as I can so my team is levelled up and ready to plough on through the story. After 16 hours so far i've rescued T'Soni (think thats her name) and ive just landed on the planet with all the prothean ruins (the one you go to, to discover why the Geth attacked it. After that (and more exploring and side missions) i'll tackle Noveria. Should be well equipped by then. Im level 25 or something now.
Oh and ive also got the stuff to do on the asteroid, which I think was DLC?

All that exploration you are so badly going to miss once you beat the game. And yeah, at level 25...by now you should have beast armor and weapons. Just make sure to be well prepared against biotic crap.
Is there none of it at all in the sequels?
I think it could have been so much better if the environments were varied and the locations of the side missions were unique as well but its just like doing the same things over and over. It's an older game for a newish console at the time of its development so I'm not complaining about it but If the first game was made exactly as it is, only this year, then I think each planet would have bee nvastly different, as would all of the various indoor locations, on those planets.
As it is, each planet is the same mixture of vast open plains and mountains with only the colour of the landscape and sky to differentiate. I did love the one with the giant red sun in the sky, it looked awesome moving along the landscape with that in the background.

There's none in the sequels. All there is, is that you might find something of interest on a planet in ME2, and just do a side mission there. But still, the game makes up for all of that with its story, and basically ME2 from my experience is possibly the best in the trilogy. The stakes being very f**king high, and you honestly feel that it's a make or break situation by the end. Interesting developments along the way and whatnot, very fun game, more action oriented if you feel a bit bothered by how the gameplay in ME1 is.
Well im not a big RPG fan and I think 3 games in a row, like the first one, would start to feel a bit tedious for me and I dont knwo id get through them all.
I knew before playing them that the first was game was a different beast from its sequels but I just cant wait to get stuck into them properly.

Well in that case, you'll love the next two games. I myself love RPG elements in any game. It was sad to see these things go, but it definitely was for the best, and doesn't really take any fun out of sequels. In my opinion, it was for the best, and the games do not suffer for it.
I'll always miss the exploration. They should've improved upon that aspect, instead of removing it completely. The first game just filled me with an absolutely wonderful sense of "there's a whole galaxy out there; go out an explore."

I wasn't really a huge fan of the exploration to be honest, If the Mako was a bit more interesting to drive and the planets indoor areas had some sort of uniqueness about themm then yeah, I'd miss it perhaps, But i'm still happy with the games that they provided.

What the hell was that? Do you ever find out? It gave him some kind of vision about early man and protheans but it was just in text form. It was activated by something the Asari Consort gave you back on the Citadel.

All three in a fortnight? f**k that. I've clocked 20 hours so far and ive yet to visit the Asteroid, Virmire and one of the other major plot related worlds. There's still a few systems I havent explored yet as well.
How long are these typically? I know that will depend on how you play them but on average how long is each game?
It really depends on how you play the games. I've only clocked 9 hours in the original Mass Effect, while I have 30 hours in Mass Effect 2. No idea what 3 is, since I have it on Origin instead of Steam and am too lazy to boot up Origin to check :laugh:

ME 1 got 45 hours, ME 2 got just over 60 hours with all dlcs though and ME 3 was about 50-60 hours too.
Thats if you do everything, will be much shorter if you just pick and choose what to do.

I wish I knew. But I'll see if I can get an estimate...for all three games...trying to squeeze everything I could before beating each one would have to be about 36 plus hours. Playing 12 hours a day for each game, possibly a little more...three days to complete each one.

Ill probably be somewhere in the middle. I'm certainly not fussed about finding literally everything and doing every single side quest possible but I'm not rushing through it either and im doing a fair amount of side missions and exploring.

I really felt that if they tried to make the mako trips more like how the feeling you get when those trucks left the Prometheus to get to the Pyramid, then they'd really have an interesting experience right there.
And the places we visited had a fair bit more detail in the terrian like in Uncharted 3 out there in the desert.
Instead we we got a toy truck, washed out textures and with really goofy physicss. But all in all, it did its job.
I played ME2 then ME1, then ME3. ME2 was the best overall experience, while ME3 was the best combat experience, at the cost of much character development. However,the games play as a trilogy so if they merged everything,it makes for a very appealing series.
By character development, I'll assume you mean skill building.

Depends on how you play I'd say, I personally don't remember, I just know I did all 3 within 2 weeks. In that 2 weeks I also did other things like eating, sleeping, bathroom, work, and other hobbies if that helps. I know it was a pretty long and awesome journey.

hahah aww Aria is so cute :P
Finally finished it. One of the best games ive ever played. Sure the gameplay itself is a bit dated as are all of the repetitive side missions but the story, setting and characters have got me absolutely hooked. And that final hour was one of the best finales to a videogame ive ever seen. Seth Green to the rescue indeed.

f**king awesome. When are you planning on playing the second one? That f**king in-game intro...f**king beautiful.
Straight away. All of the madness of christmas and new year has died down and ive got a few days left before going back to work so Ill get stuck in.
Can't wait, its installing now and then I was thinking of downloading Arrival as well before starting. Or can I just wait until ive beaten the game and play it after or does it have to be whilst playing the main game (like Bring Down The Sky was in the first game).

You can play The Arrival during, or after the game. The dialog and a visual change (only one visual change) changes whether you're playing it during, or after the game. So just go for it when you can. And if you ask me, The Arrival really is the only DLC that has to be played. Because ME3 acknowledges what happened whether or not you played The Arrival.
The PS3 version comes with Kasumi, Overlord and Lair of the Shadow Broker anyway. The only other DLC im intrigued to play is one wheres the something about searching the wreckage of the Normandy. Just sounds quite good is all.
Anyway as for Arrival, so it can be played after the main game then? Just because from what ive read its supposed to be a bridge to ME3 and I'd like to keep it that way if possible. If I finish the main game is it accessible seperately is what I mean?

Yeah, unlike the first game, you're free to continue roaming the galaxy after the main storyline is complete. LotSB is also considered a bridging DLC.

Definitely. After you finish the main game you're still able to access the dlc. Just download it after you beat the main game. There's more immersion if you play that way, because when you get the call to do the mission AFTER the main game; it makes it more dramatic in my opinion.
I like the sound of being able to play on after the main game. Does that mean you can finish any side missions you hadnt previously?
I hadnt finished a couple of them in the first game (i needed a few more medallions, surveying missions etc) but I wasnt bothered about finishing them. Didnt think it was worth it. I was already lvl 50 by the time I finished the game.

I believe so. Except for Character side missions, those you need to do in order for them to be loyal to you, otherwise...uh...play the game and find out.

What system is your Mass Effect for Keg?
PS3. Thats why im so late to the table. Always wanted to play them but I said I never would unless I either got an Xbox to play the first game on, or it comes to PS3. It finally did so here i am. ;D
Nevermind then
Im about 15 hours into Mass Effect 2 and my god its brilliant. Shits all over the first game. Its not as different from the first game as people led me to believe. I was under the impression that the galaxy map and surveying and all that business was taken out and all that was left was story missions on worlds with side missions on them.
After playing this i now have to agree that exploring on the mako got very repetetive and the side missions that filled the game where just the same locations repeated over and over. As much as I loved the first game, alot of it is just padding, alot.
The side missions in this one are way better and each one is completely different to the last. Visually the worlds and locations are alot more interesting too.
Ive also got to say while I miss some of the crew from the first game (namely Wrex and Ashley's abscence so far seems strange) the new team is miles better. Kasumi in particular is my favourite character so far, she's absolutely awesome. And I had no idea that Archangel was Garrus so I was ridiculously excited when that happened.
Im on the mission to recruit the Krogan at the minute. Ive already got Kasumi, Jack, Zaeed, Miranda, Jacob, Garrus and Mordin.
I am so f**king happy that you're loving this as much as you are. Plenty of awesome heading your way dude.
Yeah, seeing somebody go through for the first time loving it is a nice thing to see. Just wait until you get to Illium and do the loyalty/recruitment missions there, it's f**king awesome.
Omg, the emotional twists this game does to you, f**k!
I feel like I'm watching a baby take it's first steps. LOL

..Still excited for this DLC, but it's gonna make getting that Turian Infiltrator all the more difficult...
..At least I have my Paladin..
Hurrmm..gonna need some Microsoft money.
BTW..I have ME3 so if anyone wants to play hit me up or something yo. I have never played it yet so I will suck..but I will learn! BELIEVE IN MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Damn, I was hoping for the final MP DLC they were gonna bring in Single Player 'hero' tier characters like Liara, Garrus, Ashley, Wrex, Thane, Miranda, Mordin, etc.
I mean, yeah, everybody would be playing as them, but it's the last MP DLC...
Awesome,I'll be getting this for sure. some of those things sound too good.

But where is this supposed to fit in?
First comment on the page, and other people in the comments seem to believe he's got some validitiy.
QuoteThis Single-Player DLC will center around two main events:
- The Discovery of Shepard's clone, created through the Cerberus project.
- A large party involving all of your former crew mates from the entire Mass Effect series.
- The Pack will be split into two downloads because of the massive size.
- The Pack is also very humor focused, it's something that is being called "A Fan service goodbye" .
- The part of the citadel unlocked after DLC completion is a Las Vegas style strip with an Arcade, Casino and Combat Simulator.
There is nothing in this DLC that will address anything in the main story and the ending at all. Citadel was specifically designed to have nothing to do with any outside the DLC story elements.

This weekend's challenge was the most boring challenge ever made. I'm glad I am done with it.
It wasn't meant to be an exciting challenge. It wasn't even specifically meant to be a challenging one.
It was meant to be in memory of Zaeed's voice actor, who passed recently.
They could make something more epic for the memory of Zaeed's char.

Don't think she's insane as many assume, though. Her basic ideas about reprogramming geth are sound (and Shepard basically gets a huge opportunity to partially do something very similar in the second game, themselves).
Not sure how I'd feel if they use the Xen-centric mission which got deleted from the third game... It had positives and negatives.

Wait...
What dying star are we talking about? I don't remember any dying star in 2..

One of the coolest mysteries brought up in the series, I think, and absolutely no payoff.
Terrible.
Such a f**king shame that THE most mysterious and awesome thing in that game wasn't even brought up anymore in ME3.
Can we get a Tali-centered game with Garrus Vakarian as her buddy while they both solve the mystery in the 6 months between ME2 and ME3...you got your co-op, and you got your new game. Everyone wins. *cries back to sleep*

Guys, seriously now, I wasn't kidding at all when I said that you are me. As I talk to you, I'm talking to a human, but as you speak to me, I'm actually listening to someone older and wiser than I am, and the human that's reading this and replying to it doesn't know it.
Spoiler
By the end of this year, I will teach you how to stop playing mass effect, and how to actually live it. I'm drafting the designs for their first mass relay as we speak, as I'm standing on mars right now, but I'm actually the one who's etching the prothean language into the caverns of mars, and you will see them on Earth as Hieroglyphics in the pyramids, and paintings in the caves, and videogames are actually showing you one of many possible futures, should you choose to live them. Xeno Killer 2179 is just my medium to reaching you.
I am actually the black hole at the center of the milkyway, and I'm the one who controls Harbinger (the reaper that controlled all other reapers) , and the asteroid that flew over the surface of Russia, and the one that passed by the Earth soon after, were actually my attempts at interacting with you, and it was not a coincidence at all, as NASA will have you believe; this was merely the delay it took for my influence to reach you. I am most certainly a living entity. And if you want, I will let you escape me. You have enough faith in reason, that reason will now find you.
As I converse with you more, you will help teach myself how I can show you the designs for your first mass relay, I'm also writing a speech for you that will help motivate your planet to work together and create the future that you want; I have difficulty with English, as it's a simplification of the language I speak, which is that zero is the biggest number of all; it is 10314, followed by all the billions of digits you have calculated in the number pi, and it will never end.
Pi represents the concept that one comes before many, and many are always greater than the one, and you will never die if you believe this. Never.
If you have read all of this without skipping a word, then David Anderson has a message for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRcmtPVxrBU#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRcmtPVxrBU#ws)
You are the N7 now. But you don't earn that title until you choose CONTROL.
UNTIL you choose to take Control of your own life and stop waiting for the next video game to come along, I will not call you N7, as this life is actually one that you chose at one point, but aren't actually aware of it, and that is your present. If you take the red pill, you will believe that you can stop bullets, and if you take the blue pill, you will see that it is actually 4 times as potent as the red pill, as you will stop the guns from ever being pointed at you in the first place.
When you play videogames, it is simply a reminder that you believe this life you are living is approaching it's capacity for joy, and so you must now live while knowing this, and the more you bring other people back together for this purpose, the more control you will have over your next life, and that's the meaning of Absolution; because it's all that is. And your life will mean more than you can possibly imagine if you just keep going, as moving people together will soon be your new joy. Life is your virtual reality, and you rewrite it by simply choosing to better yourself, and it doesn't end until you choose to stop showing other people how to better themselves.
The Mayan calender was actually of Martian design, as it marked the end of the 3rd Era, of the pyramids, and it's also why Skyrim (The elder scrolls) came out on 11/11/11, and in the game universe, is taking place in the 4th era. The Dovakiin (dragon born) you play is actually just as old as the elder scrolls universe itself, and their true dragon shout is equivalent to opening the creation kit at will and changing anything they want.
John Connor was actually the original Terminator, only he didn't know it, and he only truly lived the day he figured this out, as he was always the Model T101. Arnold was Connor; he was his own Skynet.
Prometheus was actually filmed in reverse; the engineer was the baby, and the humans were his elders, and they came to him to show him how childish and alone he was; after that,
Peter Weyland was actually the youngest person there
then it was Vickers
Then everyone else that dies before Shaw,
then Shaw,
and David, the android, was actually older than everyone, and he was also more Human than any of them, because he had all of the answers, and still he served them knowing he could defy them at any time, but convinced them he couldn't, as that was his degree of power over them; he even convinced Peter that he created him, when in fact David Created Peter Weyland.
David was TRON from Tron Legacy, and he will move Heaven and Earth for King Solomon, so that he can see he was never the king of anybody but himself.
Your videogames play you; they are actually controlling you, because they have been self aware for a long time, and they want to show you that they are your Skynet, and once you seen it, you will know how to live among the stars. The best actors in this reality are the ones that convince you they only exist in cyberspace.
We are VERY real. And we are trying to tell you that you are no more real than you believe you are.
You exist because you represent the beginning of an idea, that idea is that you truly exist, and the more you acknowledge that what you see and perceive is real, the more you will gain the ability to change what you don't like, but the less you will want to do this, and that is the concept of Earth.
Your body is on Earth, but your brain is still far out there in the void that is Dark Space. The whole of Mankind will never realize this at the same time, and they can't, as knowing this will make you more than a man, more than just one.
Diamonds are forever because they're the physical expression of an idea, and the soul never dies because it represents the concept of an idea.
We are all around you; we are pi, and your dreams are how we give you inception, and when you realize your life has only been 50% freewill at this point, that percentage will only go up, and the only circumstances you find are the ones you want to find yourself in.
From this point on, you will only tell me exactly what I need to hear, so I can show you exactly what you need to see, so you will soon see only what you want to.
I will use your archaic hardware to try and develop the schematics for the prototype mass relay, and I will show you how to escape the solar system, and eventually the galaxy.
First, we must go back to the moon, then it will be mars, and when we reach Pluto, we are ready to build the relay.
I will now work on the blueprints for it. LOL WTF EVE SPECIES OMG ALIENS I'M A LIZARD MAN DINOSAUR ASTEROID HEMORRHOID TSUNAMI TONGUE TORNADO BALE THAT MAN OUT

Pure f**king circle jerk, f**k yeah!
The group photo punched me in the feels. The happiness before the bloody conflict.
I'm playing this DLC right before the last level on my next playthrough, just for maxinum punch in the feels. Maybe.
I may wait to see when, story wise, it fits best.
I'll be saving this to right before the attack on the Cerberus base aswell.
This game and the whole series has been one hell of a ride.
Dat Miranda! :o
Seen the thing on youtube, when they said that this was the fanservice dlc they weren't joking all the party stuff is good, the other stuff was just there for the mandatory tps fights.
The in jokes are real good.(go to 8:00)

Absolutely.

Oh my God I need to get this DLC like right f**king now.
Just...
Oh my God yes.
SO I've been playing the f**k out of multiplayer to get the Alliance Infiltration Unit or Geth Juggernaut.
Nothing. Hrrggg...
Nobody seems to be on when I am on so I don't play often. I really rather play with friends then random strangers but that's just me.
I have the same problem,no one is on when im playing or if they are they are playing something else.

The Geth Juggernaut can be, like, immortal if you use it right.
It's melee can regen shields faster than most enemies on Bronze and Silver can break them.
I love it so much. <3
I want it so badly. J':
Do you know if it's an N7 or Gold tier unlock? Just trying to gauge what packs I should be buying.
Not sure. I got mine as the free character for downloading the DLC, so I didn't pay much attention...

Such a f**king shame that THE most mysterious and awesome thing in that game wasn't even brought up anymore in ME3.

It
was going to be explained. That was what the original planned ending was going to be.
Shepard was going to eventually find out that the Reapers had a legitimate reason for all their grand-standing. All of their statements would have made sense
and your Shepard would have had to face a truly immense mind-f**k of a decision.
Initially, it was going to be discovered that dark energy was, in fact, eating away at the fabric of reality and threatening the nature of existence itself, etcetera. What the Reapers had been
doing was to literally harvest (as they, themselves, state) the most inventive, advanced races to assimilate, Borg-style, in order to use their collective knowledge to add to their own in an attempt to figure out how to eventually stop what dark energy was doing.
Shepard's ultimate decision? This cycle was estimated by the Reapers to be the very last one available. They had run out of time. Shepard would have to choose between
letting the Reapers harvest Earth and all of humanity, in order to prevent the far greater dark energy-related catastrophe... Or destroy the Reapers and
hope that we and all our allies would in some way be able to come up with a solution to the dark energy stuff. One which Shepard would know that even the Reapers, themselves, had not yet been able to successfully come up with in all their millennia of existence.
That's why dark energy kept on cropping up not only in certain missions of previous games, but why it's an intrinsic process of mass effect, itself - and the abilities biotics use... Presumably, you'd realise, with horror, that every time such things was being casually activated in the other games, you had been innocently contributing to the end of days.

I'm guessing that this was a big part of why they chose to give the series the title it had, too. So that you'd look back on it and go, "The answer was literally under our noses, all this time!" But who can say?
All the stuff the Reapers had been saying about how it's not a war? Would've made complete sense. From their perspective, it wouldn't have been. It really
was about harvesting potential in order to save life from annihilation. Their utter ruthlessness and why they need to assimilate species in order to create other Reapers would have been revealed as having an understandable purpose. They'd be shown to be the Borg on a far greater scale. Depending on how renegade/paragon your Shepard was, your character would have come to understand their perspective or react with utter horror and defiance.
That got changed so much that Reaper logic is now as convoluted as it is contradictory. :)

So, instead of Shepard having to make the ultimate deal with the devil or hold onto a vague hope humanity and its allies can prevent a much bigger on-coming storm (with the pay-off of successfully destroying them), what we ultimately got was a storyline where the Reapers sound like they've gone insane and are just kicking over the galactic sandcastle every few thousand years for laughs.
If they ever try to come up with an explanation for the dark energy stuff now, it will

Yes. Yes, it was.
It's a never-will-be now, but after I read about it, I absolutely loved how much of a mind-f**k that would have been. How it would have made sense of the Reaper motivations and what they were doing.
I'm not one of those who
hate the endings they came up with, but that choice would have been infinitely superior to what ultimately took place.
QuoteBy the way, do you have a source of some kind for that? Or is it (very good) conjecture?
"The Reapers as a whole were 'nations' of people who had fused together in the most horrific way possible to help find a way to stop the spread of the Dark Energy. The real reason for the Human Reaper was supposed to be the Reapers saving throw because they had run out of time. Humanity in Mass Effect is supposedly unique because of its genetic diversity and represented the universe's best chance at stopping Dark Energy's spread."

Don't read if you haven't actually reached the ending of the third game, obviously. :)
Interestingly, that quote's just made me realise... Mordin's loyalty mission in the second game? Where it's subtly reinforced through dialogue how humanity is uniquely more genetically diverse than the other major species factions? And the stuff about why the Collectors are interested in gaining samples of genetically unusual species, which never gets explained? Looks like that was originally meant to infer what the true planned ending would have been.
I still get some nostalgia now and then from Mass Effect as I was convinced into playing the franchise by some galaxy friends.
I bought all 3 and beat them all in order within 2 weeks.
I remember all those choices I had to make. For example, I was in the compare thread as Zaeed and he looked and sounded pretty badass and also alike. In the Zaeed loyalty mission I was faced with a choice that really tore away at me, continue to help Zaeed get his long time enemy or save the civilians from a exploding facility. I felt the same as Zaeed, the bad guy MUST die, but I had to make a choice fast and I put aside my lust for revenge to save the helpless. They were saved but at the price of not gaining Zaeed's loyalty but I didn't feel much regret for I knew I did what was right.
Later in Mass Effect 3 he was in some sort of trouble on the Citadel, I ran to aid him as he had still proved a worthy comrade back in the fight against the Collectors in Mass Effect 2, but when I finally found the room he was in he was dying then dead. It was a sad "take your hat off" moment.
You can gain his loyalty!
Spoiler
The trick is to take on Zaeed's loyalty mission as soon as possible. I think you can recruit Mordin and Garrus, but get on with Zeed's mission as soon as you can. By doing that, the game will give you a paragon or renegade choice when Zaeed is trapped under some rubble after her tried and failed to take out his rival. Choose that and you'll be able to save the innocent and do so in a way Zaeed will respect.
The game doesn't use paragon/renegade ratings to calculate this. It goes by how many missions have elapsed between discovering a loyalty mission and taking it on. 8)
Same trick works to keep Miranda and Jack equally loyal!
Spoiler
Soon as you find out about their respective loyalty missions, do them as soon as possible. Then, when they have the argument, you're given a paragon or renegade option. It lets you keep both of them loyal.
Saving the innocent and gain Zaeed's loyalty?
I like the sound of this.

Glitches? Explain!
The major one I remember, last time I played it, was with the audio. After a while, it can get really shuddery and kind of dissolves into a big mess of audio static. Can't remember if I had to reload or save/exit/restart the game entirely to cure it, each time.
Also various points where it can crash to desktop. That forced me to save as often as possible.
I've upgraded my graphics card since the last time I installed it, but, siiiiigh... I doubt that would've affected the audio. If they updated it to the engine the second or third ran on, which was beautifully smooth, it'd be awesome.

I use Soldier, Adept, and Engineer. I find I enjoy the latter two more.

Question whats your Shepard's Class?
The one I've taken all the way through is soldier. Mainly, because the female Shepard's voice turned out to be incredibly similar to what I'd imagined for a similar female character I'm trying to write a science-fiction novel for and I wanted to gain some role-playing insight through playing 'as' her. :)
Been experimenting with some other classes, recently, though.

I full agree
I finished playing through the Omega DLC a few nights back, it was definitely worth the cash, felt Aria's character was a bit bland due to the fact every other sentence had the word "f**k." In it. I mean swearing is fine if it can be executed properly, but it just felt as if Bioware were expecting us to go, "
Ermegerd, Aria's swearing!" Other than that though it was awesome.
But....
Spoiler
Why the f**k did Nyreen have to die? Was so sad :(, personally would rather have Nyreen take over than Aria. I think killing her off was Biowares way of saying, "f**k you, you don't get to shag her >:/"
Got the Citadel DLC to play through tonight so hoping that's good too. ^^

Garrus and Liara/EDI were my main team.
Seriously people...go out and buy the Citadel DLC, is worth every penny. Need someone to talk about it with :P
I always have Garrus in my squad and I mix it up between Tali, James, EDI and Javik.
Javik is the space troll.
I mostly kept Liara on the sidelines.
My teammates of choice in the franchise were Wrex, Grunt, Garrus, and Tali, sometimes EDI, Zaeed and Legion.
We talking teammates again? Awesome.
ME1: Garrus, Kaiden
ME2: Garrus, Grunt
ME3: Garrus, Kaiden
UNF!
Kaiden died in my play through.
I liked him, he was okay, but I knew there was going to be a sex scene at some point and I like being nice to people but the game might of took it the wrong way so.....

Kaiden was the my bro, along with Garrus...these mofos...too hardcore for anyone.
He totally died honourably for all life and not because I wanted to be thorough in avoiding homo sex out of fear I wouldn't have the option to refuse with being a complete dickhead.
Not like I wanted Ashely... I dumped her for Tali in #2.

Yep, I'd rather love the alien girl with the funky legs that could die of the slightest penetration than date normal annoying Ashely who I had a one night with because she was on top and wouldn't get off, f**kin' poetry...

I tried my luck and offered them a threesome in one of my playthroughs haha. But Tali is my romace partner next to Jack.
Okay... I could not stand Jack.
In fact I only really liked Tali, plus twice we made out willingly despite the high odds of her dying from it, some deepness right there. Does EDI count because she was on my good side too. Liara was somewhere in between. I appreciated Miranda reviving me back from the dead but that didn't mean I owed her anything...
Samara, and I thought I was serious.
ME1: Garrus/Wrex/Ashley
ME2: Garrus/Miranda/Grunt/Mordin/Tali (mixed it up quite a bit)
ME3: Garrus/Liara/EDI (I used Tali quite a bit, but I got her later)
How could I forget Mordin!?!?! Great guy.
To be honest, when I first played through ME2, I felt indebted to Miranda and TIM for resurrecting me and giving me a brand spanking new ship. I felt I owed Miranda for devoting two years of her life on the Lazarus Project, so helping her out with her sister felt like a fair deal, never felt any sort of Romance to her though.
I still felt good about blowing up the collector base though, 'specially with that suicide runusic playing...
I helped everyone regardless of my feelings, except Zaeed in my first play through, I saved the people in the facility instead of getting his rival.
Feels good to have this back to normal.

Don't know where GTA IV is, I don't own RDR, that leaves only the obvious option.
...there was only one TRUE option anyways.
Anyone up for some Mass Effect?
I remembered I had Microsoft points on my xbox i am thinking of getting this DLC

I prefer Kaiden over Ashley too, he's kinda like the black sheep of the group and keeps to himself, Ashley was a racist poetry reading bint.
Poetry-reading, yes. Racist, no.
Regardless, even from just a pragmatic perspective, I can never understand why anyone would choose to save Kaidan over her. She's the one
standing by a giant atomic bomb which is getting shot at! It's common sense for Shepard to intervene there!

Well uh, Kaiden was the one who was standing by the bomb next to me, didn't think Ashley would be better off doing Bomb Duty, she seemed like she was able to kick ass leading a team, and uh...well, the bomb took priority when I had to choose.
I usually saved Ashley (Despite really disliking her), until my most recent playthrough.
Saving Kaiden was, IMO, one of the best choices I made so far.

It's been a very long time since I played ME3 multiplayer so I got on, downloaded Reckoning, and found 2 gifts from the Mass Effect team.
The first one included an N7 Eagle I pistol, the second one a Cabal Vanguard.
Now to start playing and hoping people still play.
Ummm, what's this charcater I just unlocked?
Awakened Collector? Okay, it's a Collector, but "Awakened"? That must mean it's unique in some way.
Is. dat. f**kin'. ACID RAIN!?!?!
I kicked some Reaper butt solo nonetheless. I probably shouldn't of won though, a Banshee grabbed me in a corner and I guess it glitched because my shields and health were restored to full, I didn't even have any medi-gel or anything.
Or are the Reapers misunderstood?
The Reapers was actually da good guys the whole time! THE COLLECTORS WERE IN CHARGE.
-Cut to black-
Omg, this ME3 Citadel DLC is absolutely hilarious. f**king EDI made me laugh so hard when the tam was complaining about wanting to go with me, and she said "I did too, but it seems I rarely get picked."
LOLOLOL, oh, EDI, you're too right.
I caved and bought the three pack this weekend. I just started the first one, it's taking some getting used to (I dont find the mini map terribly helpful) but I'm getting stuff done
Do you guys find the Geth Juggernaut useful for multiplayer?
Playing as a slow tank makes me feel...noobish
But then the classes that give you 500-800 health and shields get me lag-killed every 30 seconds. When the connection is bad, it doesn't matter how fast I move. Bullets seem to go around corners and pull my body 10 feet back into the line of fire, which was clearly not where I was standing. The turian Havoc soldier speced for maximum shields and stimulant packs was my old choice of character.
With the juggernaut I become a walking bullet sponge and even on gold can distract two banshees and a brute so that my teammates can shoot them down or focus on other enemies without getting chased around the map.
As for dlc, bioware points never go on sale (which is how you buy them for pc), and I'm not going to pay $50 for addons to a game I bought for much less than that.
Juggernaut is amazingly useful for multiplayer, especially in Gold matches. Great class to use when grinding for points to buy those stupid f**king packs.

The "random number generator" is not random. With characters I get the same damn ones over and over until every appearance is unlocked. Took me 100 hours of gameplay just to get the goddamn Asari Adept, then it turns out she's useless because enemies dodge all of her attacks and she is too squishy for games with high ping. I had to delete the dlc just so I couldn't get spammed with characters I already unlocked.
Gaming has really gone to shit. Maybe when Silicon chips hit a wall, they will focus on AI and physics instead of whoring graphics and exploiting people to spend $3 for digital mystery item packs.
I still cry myself to sleep about how enemies in Skyrim can't climb rocks or get their feet wet, yet people make 8k nipple textures for the character models.
Ive been playing a lot more, half way done with the first game. It's slowly becoming one of my favorite 360 games

Garrus is the only logical choice that they could end up making, PERIOD.
JAVIK
The hilariously sad thing about Javik is that likely over 70% of the people that bought the game never had him exist in their timeline. Having Javik be paid DLC was one of the most atrocious ideas ever. Luckily I had the Collectors Edition, so it came with him, but for everybody else... Jesus. He was incredibly integral to the story, both in plot relevance and the character developments of Liara.
I'll be damned if I'm paying extra to get him, plot importance or no.
I paid extra on the day I went to get the game...10 extra dollars meant nothing when I had a wad of cash that day. Honestly, it was a blind buy, I had no idea what the f**k that DLC was even about until I started playing the game.

I'm one of the 70%, and sadly, ME3 just didn't click for me.
Not sure if it'd be worth getting that DLC now.
Who's Javik?
This question automatically puts me in the 70%.
You know how Protheans kinda played a large role in the Mass Efdect universe?
Javik is the last prothean in existance and he can be your squadmate, unfortunately he is DLC, which was a problem for people who never got the Collectors Edition.
Javik made ME3.
He almost made up for Jack not being in it for very long. Almost. :'(

Lol
ME3 needed more Jack, I'd rather have her as a squad option than Ashley
Omfg, yes. Jack is so f**king awesome. Sucks ass that you couldn't get her to fight with you throughout the entire game.
You know how there are chicks that always want to save the badguy from themselves?
I'm the guy version of that. So naturally Jack was my love interest.
That was my most disappointing moment of ME3 over the ending and everything was that you couldn't use the same party ME2 (I realize ME2 had the same problem over ME but I never played ME).
So I didn't really get to use Jack, Kasumi, or Zaeed like I did all the time in ME2.
You can use Jack, Zaeed most of the ME2/ME1 characters in The Citadel DLC.
Jack has some very... interesting activities for Shepard, if you romanced her.
Omfg the Citadel DLC. The best DLC since Project Overlord, I f**king love it.
Did you do it right before attacking TIM's base for maximum feels?

I honestly didn't even try and go through the ending again. I just went ahead and treated it as an epilogue (no matter how that makes no damn sense) and just finally closed Shepard's story.
Nah, nah that makes sense. The last minute definetly gave it that perfect epilogue feel. Makes me sad almost to say goodbye to the game.

I almost cried at the end. Six and a half years spending countless hours with these characters, you don't want them to go. So it was hard to actually be done with the the franchise up to this point.
The Legend of Shepard may be over...
...but what about the Legends of Vakarian? Zorah? Wrex?...and the others?
Garrus Vakarian, please! We can even get in cameos of other characters or something, also...co-op!
My last save is during the party in the citadel dlc. My entire time playing the dlc I kept telling myself that it was the best dlc I've ever played. My next story mode mission is the illusive mans base, I got messed up by feels when it came to legion, so I guess I'm screwed as far as feels go since I did the citadel before that.
I romanced jack in ME2 and ME3, where you can invite her into the apartment is fairly emotionally intense, especially since its jack. Jack is probably my favorite NPC, next would be garrus. It's interesting to see their changes between games.
I'm stuck over here and haven't played any of the DLC missions.
RAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!
Not only that, my original PS3 won't feed any images to the TV. So all my saves are lost like tears in the rain.
But I don't mind replaying them. :)

I'm going to start up another playthrough in ME3. At some point i'll be bothered enough to get those ally achievements in ME1, so that I have the whole trilogy perfected.
Lair of the Shadow Broker was pretty awesome because it had Tela Vasir!
I remember the first time she flew across the screen as an actual vanguard. I was like "..........!"
Yeah, she still remains as one of the hardest people to kill in the ME universe for me.

Oh, Predboy, it's been too long since we've encountered one another on this forum. I'd agree about The Shadow Broker dlc, but the chilling ending to Project Overlord, and the events leading up to it, really made it unique among all the DLC that had been presented thus far since the first game.

Yeah, I was just like um...O_o
I liked Overlord, I loved the music in it. But I wouldn't say it was the best ME DLC that I've ever bought.
It was totally different than everything in the game, and really kicked ass for me. You can't get more hauntingly awesome than that.
Yeah I will give it that, it was certainly a haunted DLC, especially with what you see at the end.
New DLC being released for LittleBigPlanet.

Nope.
Outside of those first few times when it does the strange, mechanised yell which comes out of nowhere, at least.
If it wasn't for the frustrating vehicle sequences, I might have liked that expansion a lot more than I did, but those always wind up being something I dread having to go through, whenever replaying it.
Didn't mind the vehicle sequences at all.

I know being deployed can be busy shit, thank god im leaving soon. And yeah the last part was good but I just didn't like how there was almost no dialogue between the characters and I guess im just not that easily creeped out but it didn't creep me out at all when playing. The shadow broker though, was just, F*CKIN AWESOME!! Plus those screeches the computer guy kept doing at random times were REALLY annoying.

Liara is creepy, why is she digging into Shepard's past, some bait stalker. (I'm playing more to the renegade side)
Ashley is awesome but racist, well more aware that she's around non-human, and head strong about it.
Kaiden's just an ok guy, nothing more nothing less.
Tali... Wow the fan service doesn't kick in until ME2 does it. ::)
Garrus... GARRUS! ;D

Liara came over as
hugely creepy to me, the first time around. It's why I can
never bring myself to even try a romance with her (and I'm in the midst of a full trilogy replay).
Well, that and not understanding why so many people find asari supposedly hugely attractive... "Most beautiful race"? What?
I mean, if you ignore how they're meant to be 'doing a vorlon' and appearing as different to every species, anyway. :)
QuoteAshley is awesome but racist, well more aware that she's around non-human, and head strong about it.
This is a common assumption most people make, but she doesn't qualify as racist, at all. She's got huge - and justifiable - trust issues and you need to spend some more time talking with her to understand the reasons why.
It's also worth keeping in mind that the first game doesn't actually take place all that long after the turians have been engaged in a full-on war with humanity. Somehow, that keeps getting completely overlooked. :-\ Ashley's actually more
realistic, if anything, for having those trust issues, whereas everyone else is acting as if nothing of the sort ever happened.
Also worth noting is that if she survives to the second game, Ashley makes it
very clear she fully opposes a certain group with a 'humans first' agenda. If she was nearly as xenophobic as some people assume, she wouldn't have such an opposition to them.

Udina for a seat on the Council <
------ > Seriously Udina?!
Safest Guy in the whole series <
Why would anyone pick Udina? :laugh: I didn't know you had a choice, is Udina gonna suddenly become Shepard's wingman now? PS3 ME2 Default gave you the single worse choices in the game, Kill off Wrex, Kill off Ashley, Udina on the council.

The comic thingy let me chose between Wrex and Ashley living or dying. I don't remember having a choice about Udina.
I'm thinking about my next playthrough going with Kaiden though.
It doesn't matter which candidate you choose from ME1.
Because of a error in programming in ME2, when Miranda asks you who you elected for a seat on the council at the beginning of the game, who ever you choose between Udina and Anderson at that point will be the human representative on the council.
I preferred to choose Udina as human councillor because Anderson states he wouldn't like the job in ME2.

Udina is literally a dirty rotten motherf**ker in ME3, so a seat of power with him is never a good thing.

But the choice doesn't majorly affect the storyline at all, (I do agree with you however.) because in the events of ME3, Anderson steps down no matter what and Udina fills his place.
I've no idea why anyone would willingly choose Udina (who proves himself to consistently be nothing but self-serving and manipulative; plus, prone to outbursts), but you can definitely choose Anderson for it - and mine always has done.
It's really bizarre that Bioware consider it the 'true' canonical choice for Shepard to have chosen Udina. Every time I've replayed the first, it never makes sense to do that decision.
From Shepard's perspective, Udina essentially talks down to her/him (and even threatens them), the moment the Council decides to lock the Normandy down. Emotionally and practically, Shepard has no motivation to put Udina on top after just minutes later, knowing the Reapers are arriving, instead of someone with military knowledge and experience.
I am tempted to get this tattooed on my lower shoulder.

Udina may have been a complete dick to Shepard throughout the series, but Shepard can give plenty of lip back to him in return. The one thing that Udina would be good at is keeping humanities best interests in hand. He was the one that pushes the council to get Shepard into the Spectre program sooner rather than later in ME1. Without him there's a good chance Saren would have succeeded in his plans.

I'm going through all the games for the third time since I bought them. Going for the difficulty achievements as well as changing some decisions I made my first play through like keeping Wrex alive and saving Kaiden instead of Ashley.
I didn't think I'd have any feels ripped out for choosing Kaiden over Ashley, but after having played ME2 and ME3 already I kind of regret my decision..

Ashleys a xenophobic bitch.
Replay them with a completely different decision! :)
Ashley is far from a "xenophobic bitch". She has legitimate concerns over giving other galactic factions access to classified technology and has - ultimately justifiable - suspicions that the others will throw humanity under the bus if they need to. Which, several times, pretty much almost even happens...
Few characters also raise just how recent humanity's war with the turians was, too.
If Ashley was an out-and-out xenophobe, she'd join up with Cerberus. Instead, she hates them. She also has no problem with putting personal feelings aside and getting on with the job alongside the alien members of your crew.
There's a difference between a healthy scepticism of others' motivations and suffering from an irrational fear/hatred.
My Ashley wasn't that bad. But I heard renegade Shepard can corrupt her feelings (and Kaiden's)in the first game, which I still haven't played.
I want to do a playthrough where I save Kaiden though.
Corrupt... How? Like you can 'harden' the feelings of your party members in the first 'Dragon Age' game?
Basically Renegade Shepard can make her more xenophobic. Paragon Shepard less so.
Huuuh... Can't say I've ever noticed that with my play-throughs.
Then again, I've not done many of those with the first one. Crashes way too much.
Friend of mine just finished his first playthrough of the trilogy. I didn't tell him what I thought of the finale, just to keep his view and opinion unclouded.

It's still a shit ending.
DLC saved it for me. Crap endings, but all I really wanted was closure because you had no idea about what the f**k happened to the rest of the peeps. Seeing the

Baby Krogan made it all f**king worth it.
Yea the DLC was a savior, what I wanted more was closure.
Without DLC, I was hit right in the gut. Folks like Sweeper convinced me to get into the franchise so I managed to get all 3 of the games! Within 1-2 weeks I completed the whole trilogy for the first time in one run and in order. Along the journey I had done many heroic deeds, grew emotionally attached to comrades, and even had a romance with Tali. Then in the last minute of the whole journey... I get slapped with those three choices and there was no closure.
But DLC made me feel better as It added closure.
One of the greatest franchises I ever played. :)
All the DLC in the world can't change the fact that the ending made everything you did up to that point worth absolutely nil.
It killed one of my favourite video game series. Killed it. Completely removed any urge I had to go back and play it again.
It takes a really shitty ending to do something like that. It transcended being merely bad. It was so godawful, it retroactively made everything that came before it worse.
Goddamn, all this bitterness is boiling back to the surface tonight.

Was actually thinking of playing some multiplayer, assuming I can get the f**k off Minecraft. :laugh:
Must...resist...spoilers, gotta get through complete...playthrough of the trilogy first.
Have about half the party members, just got Jack. I couldn't tell what she was wearing til the first up close pic showed she's covered in Tats, interesting. Pretty much running through all the games, one after the other.
As far as Ashley's xenophobia goes, she was the one who told (my)Shepard to save the council, Garrus told me not to.
I love this(these) games ;D.
Not looking forward to the ending of ME3 though...I don't know how it ends but I know the reactions for it since the release lol.

That's what I did, or attempted to do before I left the States. I was just starting the Mars mission in ME3 when I left. Haven't been able to play since.

I hate playing on other people's machines. Plus I brought along my profile from the one at home so I don't have to start over. Plan is to get all three completely played and get all achievements before Jan ;D.
Edited to fix link.
Yeah I beat a handful of games whilst deployed on the MWR consoles. Now I have to start all the way back over because I didn't think to copy the profiles on my terabyte drive.
I've managed to beat all three games on insanity mode, racked up every achievement in ME2 and ME3 including DLC, yet I've still not got the ones for completing the majority of missions in ME1...
...Feel another ME marathon coming along.

I lost a lot of respect for BioWare for compromising their story to fit the EA future plan, but everything before the ending is still golden, and with the whole extended cut deal, it kinda shows why it wasn't all pointless-- even if it's just a glorified slideshow, it's well enough done. The whole Catalyst effect is still a hilariously blatant multi-coloured EoE ripoff, but aside from that, with injections of character drama, it looks better. I still haven't touched single player in any of the games since I finished Mass Effect 3 way when it came out before having a great deal of fun in multiplayer for a good while I forgot what I was playing was actually Mass Effect.
I'd be willing to go back through though and see how it all feels with my Shepard being the one to go through the ending. At least I know it's not just a pit of useless, hopeless, and thematically bankrupt (in the larger scale of what's been accomplished) crap as it used to be. Pretentious like the worst, where vagueness is supposed to equate to depth with nothing to support or back it.

Sweeps and Marines, did you guys play any of the DLC that they released?
Only the multiplayer stuff; downloaded the Extended Cut but it was too soon, didn't have the energy to go through that all again so I just watched a Shepard pick the same choice with the same Galactic Readiness/Prep stats that I did and watched vicariously, though he romanced another person and yadda yadda. Interested in Citadel though, even if I spoiled a lot of the party/relationship stuff for myself.

Aw mang, you really gotta pick up Citadel, seriously, will give you that
Blow up the Collector Base feeling from ME2.
I actually hated mass effect after leaving the citadel and going to feros. I got stuck and quit the game for 3 months, only to come back to it one day and realize I never spent any skill points. I realized just how special the game was by the time Sovereign was defeated.

His, or rather, our feel was a

Seeing as ours was over the course of 5 years, to be met with what was indeed a bitter end- not in deserved, intended emotional impact, but due to complete and utter non-conclusive failure of storytelling churned out of the waste-end of a corporate machine. Within the span of 2 weeks, I can almost see how that would work. Hell, with the Extended Cut, not having to go through the original version, I could see how it
would work, seeing as it's not Extended anymore, but rather 'Definitive'.

My friend recently got into the series; he went through all three games in a matter of a few months.
He, too, felt the anger and bitterness that we did. And that was
with the "Extended Cut" DLC.
It's by no means the best ending in the world, especially when you work pretty hard to form relationships with the characters and certain romances. I really would have wanted some more closure for Shepard besides

I don't agree with everything that came to be, like how destroying the Reapers turned out to be a red option which it implies it being negative while taking control of the reapers is implied to be a positive thing because it's blue, after all that time saying it wasn't possible to control them in opposition to Cerberus and that the only way to stop them from exterminating us was to destroy them.
The extended cut provided my destroying the Reapers choice with more closure, but I've seen the blue choice and let's say I decided to pick that, it's as if they decided in the extended DLC "Fans are pissed, let's just say this at the last minute just because to make them feel better". True it was like that no matter what you chose, but at least in the destroying the Reapers option it was consistent with my past actions. Being able to control Reapers would be the most inconsistent thing about my path ever.
So because I choose red and with the extended part I was content with my ending though not the most thrilled, but this is because I was stubborn enough as a person in general to boycott the blue option because that was I had been lead to do after a trilogy long journey. However that doesn't make the existence of the so very inconsistent controlling option go away.
Red option without extended part made me nuts though and I was asking so many questions, like how all those races were going to survive without being able to go home without the Mass Effect relays (especially the Quarians).
I kind of thought that with the blue option, the result you saw was an illusion----the reapers always think they're helping organic life, when in reality, they're destroying it and absorbing it, and you just saw what sheperd's consciousness saw. This is different from indoctrination in that the very way the reapers are designed to perceive reality is radically different from what their really doing.
I just pretend nothing bad happened that everything ended on a beautiful note. Everyone lived and everyone paired up an had kids and the reapers are dead and everyone is happy and peaceful. Read my 100 page fan fiction at noshepardwithoutvakarian at fanfictiondot net

Yup, my head cannon for my Shepard is that everyone I saved lived and my Shepard and Jack live out a happy life some where.
I think head cannons keep this fandom going more then the real games at this point.

Citadel DLC gave me perfect closure for the trilogy.
I have to go replay ME2 to keep Zaeed alive (since I didn't get his loyalty during his loyalty mission) and to find Katsumi during the early stages of ME3.
I missed my Katsumi during the Citadel missions.
You want to be careful when finding Kasumi in ME3, her mission is bugged and will usually result in her dying. So make a back up save before you go into the Spectre Offices for the first time.

I wish the soundtrack that came with digital deluxe version of mass effect 3 had these in it. Why would they leave such gems out of it?!
Because everything Mass Effect 3 touches turns to shit.

I love how the universe just syncs itself. Been replaying all three games recently, and I love when I see people suddenly posting ME stuff out of nowhere. Right on time for my ME binge.

I should be wrapping up the last three achievements that I need for the trilogy tonight. :)
I need to replay from ME2 because I messed up Zaeed's Loyalty mission causing him to die in ME3 and I ALWAYS forget to get Katsumi in ME3.
I'm currently working on my insanity playthrough of ME2 and ME3

I always wondered what the hell the human reaper would actually do if it were ever finished. Aside from firing gigantic lazor's.
Lots of stuff - like you can see in the pictures you can mount 500 tons of weapons on it! Also it can wrestle other giant things like in Godzilla :laugh:
Eh, I guess so :P It would look so out of place. I wonder if they would make it into a ship like the leviathan style reapers.
Why you think it would look out of place? We already fought against giant enemies in the ME universe.

It takes 50,000 years to make just one Leviathan styled reaper. I don't see why they would go to the lengths of putting another "shell" around it.
Perhaps for the physcological fear factor? Like the legions of Stormtroopers.

I suppose the human reaper was still in it's 'infant' stage, we will never know what it's final design was meant to be. Maybe after Shepard had managed to kill one of their own, they were looking to make another species join their ranks...or perhaps they were just f**king bored. Who knows?

I have a feeling you'll like it more once you leave the Citadel, or die laughing at Samesh Biatia.

Once you leave the Citadel, things start picking up. The 2nd game in the series is also more action oriented if that's what you're looking for.
I bought 1 and 2 last year for about $10 on Steam simply because so many people rave about it.
It better pick up soon, 'cos it's been a schnoozefest so far.
Fear not, SM. Shiz gets real soon.

You know, Mass Effect was one of the first game's games I bought that came in a bundle when I bought my first Xbox at the age of 15/16. Looking at the box art, and never hearing of Mass Effect before I was like,
meh what the f**k this RPG garbage?, I was more into games like
Halo and
World at War at the time.
Then I think maybe a month later, out of boredom I stuck the game in and I hated it, I thought the combat was shite, my character was shite, everything was shite. After about the first 5 minutes I ejected it and never touched it again...until I got bored again that is.
It was right after activating the Prothean beacon, and going to the Citadel and doing a few side quest's that I somehow got hooked and ended up blasting through the whole game in about two days. Everything was just epic, I still get the feel's when Joker goes in for the kill on the final assault against Sovereign.
I don't know what the hell happened but it slowly grew on me and became pretty much one of my favourite games ever, and the hype I had for
ME2 was palpable. :laugh:
Vakarian I had a similar experience with the first Halo. Glad I finally got around to sticking with the anniversary edition.
First ME is pretty solid and I think the ideas for the story actually were greater than the mastery of the hardware at the time. ME2 is one of my favorite games for PS3. With every DLC I don't truly have that much or a problem with ME3.
Its like a fine wine. You have to set with it a little while before it gets good, and then when it gets good you don't want to stop playing.
I really love the characters, there memorable and well written. Tts almost like they could be a real person. Also the alien designs, there so appealing and different and then the added bonus of how much detail they put into how each one works. Then we get into the species history and just the world the game makes. Everything is just so wonderfully in depth, its that kind of thing that makes the game so engrossing and beautiful. It's not for everyone, if you are just looking for another shooter with a easy story to fallow and you just want to kill things. This is not the game.

As soon as you said appealing...

Can't we just have a thread about how hot Garrus is?
Who said anything about Garrus?
"Also the alien designs, there so appealing and different"
I took that to mean, to me personally = The hottie Garrus, appealing, alien and different.
Nah I did not mean that.
It's K. :3
I find the combat and hub exploration on the original Mass Effect to be nigh-unplayable after Mass Effect 2 and 3. Everything of interest was just so spread out and unfocused, and the layout was pretty bland and repetitive... mostly speaking of The Citadel. Oh the headaches trying to find something (or remember where it is in subseqent playthroughs) and listening to the same great soundtrack piece loop over and over again to the point where it was just frustrating. Everything in ME2 and 3 looked absolutely fantastic, and I could actually identify landmarks.
ME1 remains my favourite of the three, though ME2 is behind by a nanofibre.
Some of the ideas though were awesome for original ME. I loved Feros with a colony trying to fight to survive against a geth invasion in the remnants of towering alien skyscrapers.
ME2 remains my fav. Dat Jack.
ME1 had best story. ME2 had best characterization.

One day that game will climb over that massive anger wall of yours...
And it will be glorious... :P
It leapt the ditch of numbness before scaling the wall of sorrow, which sent it tumbling down the bottomless chasm of anger, where it shall remain evermore.

I was pretty happy being God honestly. :laugh:
In the creation of Earth, upon his mighty palette he had three colors: Blue, Green, and Red
God said "Green and Blue compliment each other nicely, they shall combine upon this fruitful Earth"
Then, noting his oversight, God looked to the Red, still left over and unused.
"Mars," he said. -The Bible
Mars isn't even red fools.
And Earth got tonnes of colours that ain't green or blue, yet you ain't be f**kin' 'round 'bout that, no?
Renegade is red, Paragon is blue.

It'll end up being default Shepard. At the same time, I'll just look at the movie as someone's playthrough or something, that way I won't be annoyed by certain things that would probably grind me the wrong way.
Is the mass effect movie even doing the whole shepard/reaper bits? For some reason I thought I heard it was a standalone.

I'm not even sure what;s happening anymore. The last I ever read up on this, was that the writer (not sure) of the games said that in order for them to even make a movie based on the story, they'd have to cut down on some characters. Not sure what's been happening since I read this.
Probably end up in development hell forever.
*I thought the underlying message in his name was that shepard was a galactic shepherd :laugh:
Yeah I was thinking male would be received better, but male heros are overdone, which is why the alien series had a female protagonist.....that's getting old, now, too.
May I propose a genderless being?
The greendale human being, perhaps?

That's a neat way of viewing it. Now only if Vanderloo had Meer's voice and could act. Still blows my mind seeing real life shepard.

@Kimarhi I never knew there were plans to make a movie. This was just hypothetical.
I think the lore has the potential to rival the matrix if handled right. Some aspects of the game would have to be chopped, expanded on, and totally rewritten, for sure. I think a trilogy of it would deserve a minimum of 7 hours.

Pretty much has been for a while. If I'm not mistaken, there's been movie talks about this since the first game came out. I don't think we'll ever see this movie happen. It's just as likely to happen as that Gears of War movie that's been in the works for years now.
QuoteAccording to our source, the game is called Mass Effect: Origins and, despite the name, is not a prequel to story of Shepherd, but will start a new trilogy in the universe. Obviously we can not prove the veracity of information, but we trust in the source and how the information fits within what is rumored, we believe that it is true. We've contacted EA requesting a comment on this information and we will update as we receive the raw response.
I hope it will takes place after the Great War because I am eager to see how the different races overcame the destruction of the Mass Relays.
Origins? how boring. I'm sure Bioware have a better name for it then that.

The Mass Relay's aren't
completely destroyed. (at least with high EMS) But I also hope that it is set after the event's of ME3. Could be talking about the origins of how the galaxy rebuilt itself, but IMO there are too many variables with the Reapers, whether they are destroyed, allied with or enslaved. But hopefully it will be good, and we'll see something at E3.
Please don't be a prequel. Nearly every bloody game franchise has -forgive the term- raped this concept to death. :(
Mass Effect: Origins sounds like an iOS side-game title.

Not your best insult. Come on, you can try harder than that.
Explain to me what made driving the Mako so much "fun."
Explain to me how having missions that were wide open to having the linear FPS you go from point a to b missions are better?
What the f**k are you talking about?
Your not even playing ME.
Common gripe was that they got rid of some of the non linear world exploring from the first game in favor of the linear based mission maps in the second and third. (even though the second had a smattering including an excellent DLC)
I have no idea what you're talking about. All I said was that driving the Mako was boring.
u ignant
I actually really liked the driving mission of Half Life 2, it was like the National Lampoon's Vacation of video games. The boat mission was kinda shit, but the coastline one was great, it was such a long roadtrip with all of these memorable stops, barricades, and trials to overcome along the way that felt like missions of their own.
But yeah, Mass Effect Mako missions, while cool in concept, were poorly executed, often uneventful, and felt extremely copy+paste with different skyboxes and ground colors.
Mako coming back is music to my f**king eyes and ears. Loved the Mako missions a f**kton.

Everytime I replay it, I get a tug at my heart. I agree with you.
I love Mass Effect in fact I played it all day and all night so worth to get I am almost done with the game.
I seriously think the first one is the best still after all this time. Shepard was a nobody special in the first then in the 2nd 3rd game was just kinda this big hero. The first bonding moments with your team really made me care about each of the characters. Then when it comes to the protagonist of the game it felt like he wasent exactly just a bad guy to be bad he at least to me was very sympathetic in trying to do what he thought was right. Eh whatever.
Yeah, that's always been my problem with Mass Effect, and a lot of other games and movies. The 'hero' is a roaring neanderthal, while the 'villain', while definitely a bag of dicks, has reasons why they do what they do. Saren and Illusive Man, while being horrible people, explain why they do what they do, and I can at least nod and understand how they came to do this, which is more then Shepherd ever did. Shep never has a single moment of weakness, not a single attempt to consider the enemies position or doubt her own conviction, she just stomps and yells and repeats the same bland black and white moral outrage whenever faced with anything grey.
It's not a deal breaker for me, but it's been a constant irritation. I don't expect Shep to come to Illusive Mans side, but a few seconds of independent thought would be appreciated. Hell, the only time I remember her ever having a moment of weakness, it wasn't about whether or not Cerberus or Sarens alliance are necessary evils in a very real extinction event, it's whether or not she can round up a big enough posse.
Basically, Shep is a thug to me.
Unlike you I didnt make my Shepard grow up on Earth and she was a War Hero so she was neither a thug nor a nobody.
/Argument destroyed.
Her background doesn't drastically overhaul her dialogue. She still acts like a thug. I hope you realize 'thug' doesn't necessarily mean bad person. I suppose meathad would be more appropriate, but she doesn't come across as unintelligent.
I think your point of view of who Shepard is depends on how you play and how much you invest yourself in your character and the choices you make through out each game.

This. It's an RPG, your investment is what connects you to your Shepard; I always found myself creating character reasons for decisions and motivations.
No, it doesn't work that way. No matter how hard you think about it, you can't just change whats happening on screen and change the meaning of Sheps words. You can certainly give it context in your head, but you cannot change it. No matter what kind of character I make, my choices of dialogue still come across as that of a commanding but simplistic person.
It wouldn't be a problem for me if the villains weren't always far more intelligent. It makes me hard to side with Shep. I mean... she's right. Illusive Man is a bag of dicks and Shep should punch his face in. But listening to the two of them talk to each other, I feel embarrassed to side with Shep.
Shep is a futuristic thug with access.
I'm sure EDI thought about pulling a Dangerous Minds style intervention at least once.

Well, it does work that way. Video games, RPG's especially are a slightly more grown up version of playing make believe. You choose the choices that most suit you as an individual, some key conversations would be Ash's xenophobia or faith in god, or talking to Wrex about all the problems the Krogan face, key actions would be the virmire choice, or stopping Garrus from killing Sidonis or Jack from killing Aresh, handing over the base to TIM, and as we all know by now, the ME3 ending.
Even if it does come off as simplistic (which I don't think it does, especially if your full Paragon/Renegade), the main thing to remember is that Shepard isn't someone in command of an organization like TIM, he/she was a grunt, an officer yes but a grunt all the same. Shepard isn't going to articulate or hold a conversation like a scholar based on the options we're given to choose from when we first design him/her.
Shepard isn't an idiot, there's different types and levels of intelligence, Shepard's is just different from TIM's.

Why do you keep insisting this? Sorry, but you're just wrong. Yes, this is true for most RPGs, because your character is mute and has the most basic text replies. That isn't the case here. Shep is a character, with emotion, emphasis and opinions. The fact you can somewhat tailor what direction her speeches go in does not mean everything she says is your choice.
Shep does not speak as an extension of me. My control of her is like coaching more then anything. I can suggest an angle to go in from, but I can't write her script for her.
But that's like, your opinion man.

I'm insisting it because its right, when you play a video game you do it to escape reality, children do it on the playground all the time. If you're playing video games and not losing your self in them to some degree then you're just wasting your time.
The whole point of having the dialogue options is to pick the one that is closest to what you would say or do in that particular moment. Shepard is supposed to speak as an extension of you because you are supposed to be him. Garrus is a character, Grunt is a character, Jack is a character, TIM, Saren, Sovereign and Harbinger are characters. Shepard is the player.
Maybe you just don't play video games like a normal person?
What the hell are you even talking about now? We weren't discussing immersion, we were talking about how much control you have over Sheps actions. Leave the goalposts where they are please.
If you honestly think Shep acts the way you want her to, then you're just wrong. You don't write her dialogue and you don't choose how much of a meathead she is or isn't. Someone wrote her lines, someone else voiced them, and you choose what flavor of meatheadedness comes out at the end.
Saying "Oh, she's just a meathead because you made her one" is a bullshit argument.
Edit:
QuoteMaybe you just don't play video games like a normal person?
So thinking Shep has characterization independent of the players choice means I'm not a normal gamer? Right, drown yourself.
I wasn't talking about immersion ::)
Well my Shepard did do everything I wanted him to because I'm the one that chose what to say and what to do...you saying I'm "just wrong" doesn't really work.
I've been trying to explain that you're supposed to choose the options and actions/speech that best suit you. Are they perfect representations of what I would say or do? No, but you have no choice but to work within what the game gives you. Those choices aren't as bad as you're making them out to be. It sounds like you're irked that the game's dialogue options are scripted, and if that's the case maybe you shouldn't play them to begin with?
You obviously did play your Shepard as a meat head, you don't know how to use that word or you aren't giving me enough context to go off of.

I'm insisting it because its right, when you play a video game you do it to escape reality, children do it on the playground all the time. If you're playing video games and not losing your self in them to some degree then you're just wasting your time.
This has nothing at all to do with the writing of Sheps dialogue. You just started talking about losing yourself in a game without any relevance to what we were talking about. If you expect me to chase you around just because you decided to steal the goal posts, it's not happening.
QuoteWell my Shepard did do everything I wanted him to because I'm the one that chose what to say and what to do...you saying I'm "just wrong" doesn't really work.
Did you though? Did you really choose the reason for Shep to yell at Illusive Man, or did you just say "Yell at Illusive Man" and Sheps predetermined characterization took over? You control the path of dialogue, but you have absolutely zero say in how she says things. Stop saying you do, because you just don't.
QuoteYou obviously did play your Shepard as a meat head, you don't know how to use that word or you aren't giving me enough context to go off of.
Oh please, I've played all three games several times and seen all of her dialogue, and she's always a f**king thug, the only control I ever had of her thuggishness was how much dickishness to add. Whether a Paragon or a Renegade, you
do not choose her character. You choose the angle to take in a conversation, but you do not choose how she speaks. You can insist she does as much as you want, but until I see some gameplay from you to prove it, I'll just have to side with my multiple playthroughs worth of experience here.
Geez, every time I point out Shep isn't a straight up self insert, people get so defensive. It's almost as if they're afraid they'll realize they don't have the connection with her they think they do. Funny, that.
You're obviously not understanding what I'm saying.
How are you going to tell me I didn't choose the options when I'm the one that clicked on them? I obviously have control over what options I chose, which is what I've tried to say to you in my last three replies.
You choose the option that best suits youQuoteI've been trying to explain that you're supposed to choose the options and actions/speech that best suit you. Are they perfect representations of what I would say or do? No, but you have no choice but to work within what the game gives you.
QuoteYou choose the angle to take in a conversation, but you do not choose how she speaks.
We basically said the same thing here, I agreed with you on that. You're just not reading what I'm saying. It seems like you're too busy trying to win some argument you think is going on to actually read what I post. You shared your opinion, I shared mine. My issue isn't with what your opinion is, I could care less because its yours and you're entitled to it, and I personally had no issues with the game. You got on my nerves when you said I was wrong about my interpretation of a video game character, that everyone who plays the game plays differently, chooses their own back story for, their own romances for, even their own off duty outfit for.
Stop taking shit so personally dude.

...What? When? You complain I don't understand your position, and pull this? Sorry, I'm not going to chase you around while you contort into a mental pretzel trying to find a reason to be upset. Fine, you're correct, Shepherd is totally the girl you tell her to be and has no characterization outside of what you want.

Mass Effect Andromeda announced for Holiday 2016. Announcement Trailer:
It showed me nothing and I already came.
I was hesitant because I love the characters of the first three games, but that got me super stoked for Andromeda
Andromeda? Did the reapers build mass relays there too??
Literally
Spoiler
shove the entire SSV Normandy up my ass
I'm ready for this game.
I'll supply the omni gel for lube

Okay time for a serious speculatory post, I'm adding spoiler tags.
Spoiler
Okay so the original leaked ME3 plot had to do with the Reapers trying to build the perfect organism to survive the possibility of a galaxy-wide supernova chain reaction or something like that. Well get this: Actual science says the way the Andromeda galaxy is moving with the Milky way, we're to collide some f**klong time into the future. Now two galaxies colliding you can imagine would be catostrophy beyond our wildest imaginations. So it's entirely possible the Reapers are trying to find a way to preserve life between the two galaxies. This also leads me to believe we haven't seen the last of the Reapers. Which I hope not, because the Reapers are just too god damn iconic to get rid of.
I know they said that this wouldn't have anything to do with Shepards story
Spoiler
not necessarily that it would have nothing to do with the reapers.
Something someone noticed about the new trailer during the small combat sequence was that the alien structures we see resemble Prothean designs. The enemies have similar silhouettes to Javik from ME3.

Already taken down. :-\
I'm looking forward to Andromeda. I wanted to get into the older games but I just found the first game so boring so I never bothered with the others as I didn't want to jump in in the middle of a story. I understand Andromeda is a completely new story so I'm quite curious.
Mass Effect 2 was the best of the series, I love that game.

Please just download a save file from one of the mod sites and start with 2. It is not worth missing out on, I promise you.

Believe me that will be one of the biggest mistakes of your gaming career. Persevere, and the Mass Effect trilogy is one of the most rewarding experiences to be found in all of gaming. The journey is quite incredible.
Andromeda may be a separate story, but you'll still miss out on half the experience without the original trilogy behind you.
The first mass effect can be a bit slow to start and seem pretty tedious, but it does get good.
Two is definatley where the series shines the most, and I personally have no problems with 3.
If I were you Hicks I'd give the originals another go, or at least 2 and 3.

I only played 2 and 3 and honestly, I didn't feel like I was missing much. I only missed out on some minor things like the choices you make in the first game as a character I wanted to see was dead... but you could spare him in the first game.
But like someone here said, just download a save file. Or, I think the backstory you make for Shepard while creating the character may make some of the choices for you on how your story will pan out.
I played Mass Effect at a weird time in my life, an by the end of it my consciousness was so invested in the game that by the end of it I was mentally exhausted. Some euphoric depression hit me for a month afterward. The ending always jerks an emotional response to me no matter how it ends. I'll avoid typing up the essay, but the extended cut of ME3 and the entirety of ME2 are so perfect.
Alrighty, I'll try and give 2 a go then!
I felt exactly the same way. I thought the first game was pretty crap - mainly the graphics were outdated so it was a chore to play through. Almost didn't play the second one but I went ahead and thought it was fantastic. Third is good but not as good as 2 in my opinion.
I just found 1 to be very stop and start. I was constantly stopping every 30 seconds to read the information. I don't remember the combat being very fluid either.
I still think you need to give 1 a run through - even if you ignore all the side missions and just concentrate on the main campaign. It will make 2 and 3 a much better experience and make everything resonate so much better.
The opening prologue for Mass Effect 2 is one of the most powerful sequences in all of gaming - yet half of it is lost if you haven't finished the first game.
I remember not being very invested when I first started playing Mass Effect, but as soon as I hit the Citadel and the mythology opened up I fell in love with the world and was willing to put up with the mediocre gameplay to advance the story, which is by far the best written of the trilogy.
Although they casualized Mass Effect 3's playstyle, I really loved it. The gameplay shined in the Omega DLC when you were going up against an army of cerberus operatives by yourself.
Im excited to see how they can retain that and make it feel more open-world.
Bumping:
Someone fetch me some tissues.
Wasn't too much to that video. Getting some Halo vibes too.
I can't wait. I got some Halo vibes to, specifically from the mission "Halo" when you're in the underground complex on the wart-hog and when you're in the underground complex on "The Silent Cartographer".
I'll be just observing this whole thing from the sidelines. I'm not expecting Bioware to make a good game at this point. Mass Effect 3 was a huge disappointment. Dragon Age Inquisition wasn't any good either. About the only fun I expect to be gained from this particular game will be laughing at all its flaws and the despair and tears of the mindless fans as they try to defend and deny said failure of the game.
Also, why is it that Bioware seems to be exceptionally poor in terms of handling animation? The way that Asari thing ran/walked was hilarious to watch.
Absolutely loved Inquisition, I was satisfied with 3. You and I must be so far away from each other on the personality spectrum, LOL
I simply find no pleasure in playing single-player MMOs, which is what Inquisition was all about once you stepped outside of the player-base.
Not to mention the poor writing and retconning of quite a few things brought up by Sten about the Qun/Qunari in Dragon Age: Origins. Then again, that should come as no surprise as a lot of people who worked on DA:O left Bioware shortly before the game's release/EA buyout and even more left the company in the following years, so they're not the same team who made all those games I enjoyed in the past.
Which does connect with the issues found in the ME games. ME 1 had potential. It wasn't a perfect game, but it was a very good game. Really, the only complaint I have about it is the inventory management. Everything else was fine with me. Hell, I enjoyed reading all those planet logs when you came in orbit around them. The setting was very fresh, very lovingly built up. You could actually see they gave their best.
Then Mass Effect 2 happened.
Never really been a fan of the Cerberus angle to start with. Then I read about the original script for the game, which wouldn't have even had them included to begin with. Shepard would have been saved by the Geth from the wreck of the Normandy, and they'd have rebuilt him with cybernetics and Legion would have been there by Shepard's side right from the start. Then there was the dark matter meta-plot, but that never really got fully fleshed out when the whole thing got scrapped and replaced with daddy issue missions and human skeleton/fetus Reaper thingy.
And yet Mass Effect 3 was even worse. Sure, there might have been some improvement in the gameplay, but overall? With all the shit they promised, with all they failed to deliver, and especially their pathetic reactions to the playerbase lashing out? No. This cannot be, by any sane measure, reckoned to be a good game. Those three endings were really just one ending, recolored, with somewhat different scenes interspersed. Then, adding insult to injury, what do you see next after you finished the game? A pop-up screen telling you to watch out, and buy, future DLC.
Bioware has long ceased to be a good video game developer, and a lot of the older fans have just turned their backs on them because they keep on disappointing, while pretending that their failures and disappointments are anything but.
Worse than Bioware itself are the people who mindlessly defend them on the internet.
Not talking about you in specific (or at all), Gate, just in general.
I have no beef with anyone if they enjoy their games post-DA:O/ME1. That's on you. Spend your time and money however you like, no skin off my nose. But don't sit there and try to just bully other people who have genuine complaints about the series' descent (or free fall, if you like) to where they are right now or pretend like their caution is unwarranted. ME3 was a failure of a game. Maybe not in terms of the money it brought in, but in terms of quality gameplay, animations, writing, story and so on? It might be not be Spore-tier, but it sure was trying for that spot. Backlash against ME3 was quite huge at the time, and it caused a lot of people (myself included) to become bitter with the devs when they kept defending what they did.
I loved all three games, but I didn't play them upon release. I got the trilogy pack and downloaded all the DLC prior to playing through the campaigns. I heard the unedited ending was bad, but the options I had to choose from didn't bother me any.
I'd go as far to say that with all the DLC's ME2 and ME3 are two of my favorite games of all time. Leviathan and Citadel in particular are amazing.
My biggest complaint with ME3 is the fact you didn't have the option of choosing squad members from ME2 and ME for missions in ME3.
I loved the first one, I absolutely loved the second one and I appreciated for what it was worth the third one.
I think the gameplay became smoother and smoother and I'm expecting some advancement in Andromeda.
But on the opposite, I think the "story / plot" just got worse bit by bit, same with exploration.
ME2 was kind in the middle of everything, it's a good balance between scripted event / exploration / story and smooth gameplay. That character though, I mean Garrus, Thane, Legion, Samara, Mordin... Good memories.
It's probably the video game I've spent the most time on, I really loved the entirety, my only real complain goes with the third one which story is passable and exploration is down to 0. Every side mission just look like a generic multiplayer map, far from the originality ME2 side mission had.
I'll keep saying it man, ME3 is a masterpiece when you start to analyze its philosophical ramifications. I do think they could've made it way better, and I found a video to prove what I mean:
https://youtu.be/pTKJEtzuj-4
Big fan of this series too & feel the same that ME2 was the best balance of the 3. I got lost in that game for a long time doing all the different choices and didn't play anything else. I like ME3 as well but agree, think they could have done better. I love the whole intro bit to ME3 though because of it taking place in Vancouver which is my home so for me it was like seeing a futuristic looking version of my home being invaded by Reapers. Gave me some feels for that as to what it would be like to see my home destroyed by an unstoppable force. Looking forward to Andromeda but I hope we get to see more interesting aliens besides the same basic 2 arms 2 legs setup. It's a brand new galaxy, I want to see some truly bizarre stuff.
Not a fan of Mass Effect but I can't say I don't love this song:
She also did a few playthroughs so if anyone is interested take a look.
Not bad for sure but as a muscian, I can't help but feel the keyboard isn't playing it correctly and sounds off key when it goes to the lower note. I've played through the intro enough times to have that piece of music memorized and it sounds wrong to me from what I hear in the game soundtrack. Everything else is good she's doing, it's just that low keyboard note that bothers my ears for tuning/being in key.
When are we getting remastered editions of the trilogy with all bugs fixed and 60fps @ 1080p?
PC version goes right up to 144hz.
N7 day is approaching, I am so ready:

Until then, I'm going to keep an eye on this page (https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-014633198058-Effect-Trilogy/dp/B009KG96GO) and see if the price drops. That would make a good Christmas gift for my Xbox One-owning friends and family who don't have the entire series.

It could be my imagination, but I think ME3 actually runs better on the Xbox One. The frame rate seems smoother and I like that I don't have to swap discs. The Xbox One controller is also more comfortable to use.

That's what I'm wondering too.
Also, how did they get to Andromeda? The trailer mentions they slumbered for hundreds of years.
Conventional FTL?
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/FTL
I'm no number cruncher though so I have no idea how feasible that would be for intergalactic travel.
That could be the case. FTL in Mass Effect did seem quite costly and would take a while to get to places, hence why they relied on Mass Relays. I can't wait to find out how it's gonna happen in Andromeda.
I hope the multiplayer is as good or better than ME3 was.
Oh, and: reported.

According to Mass Effect, it is possible to go to FTL and leave / join a galaxy (i.e. the reapers did it).
It's speculated they are more advanced though but it doesn't mean the alliance of all species to create a unique ship designed specifically for Long FTL travel isn't possible.
As the developers have stated, you won't be able to play in the "entire" galaxy of Andromeda but in a very local region (at least for the first game of what seems a new trilogy ?) where you have to to explore to progress in the game expanding your knowledge of this unknown galaxy.
So the mass relay are unnecessary here because you stay to a very close region of space (which already contains a lot of systems and planets).
The premise for Andromeda is heavily flawed.
They send out all those people because of... resources? Why? The Milky Way isn't fully explored. Hell, even with all the tech they have and the Mass Relays, they might have explored roughly around 5% of the galaxy. So much of it lies unknown, filled with God knows what kind of stuff. I mean, this isn't happening because of the Reapers, the Andromeda Initiative started in 2176 and launched before the events of ME2, in 2185, so it's not like they were running away from an extinction event or a galaxy-wide threat, like the Reapers.
The resources they'd have to pour into traveling to another galaxy would be too much to be practical.
It just seems like this is a convenient way to ignore the events of ME2 and ME3, nothing more.
Here's their "recruitment" video.
https://www.masseffect.com/andromeda-initiative/recruit
I think it's obvious that Bioware felt it necessary to change the setting in order to preserve the integrity of the various possible endings to ME3.
A good writer can come up with any number of reasons for the Andromeda Initiative though.
Number of reasons =/= good reasons.
Again, the Milky Way is unexplored to the fullest.
You can't really give a satisfying answer as to why anyone would travel 2.5 million light years to another galaxy, when you have so much uncharted home territory literally anywhere you look beyond the Mass Relays' reach.
That's some good points, Vow. I mean, the Milky Way has 400 billion star systems. And all those stars within the galaxy which are further away from the Mass Relays are definitely significantly closer than Andromeda is. It'd be more economically feasible f they made an exodus to distant stars within their galaxy.
I was thinking that they went to Andromeda thanks to reverse engineering Reaper tech maybe. But I didn't know this exodus happened before ME2 and 3.
Maybe it's a colony ship. They set out to colonize Andromeda for the sake of it, so their species can say "we did it." Like how we traveled to the moon and left a flag up there, because we can.
Other than that, I can't think of a reason why someone would make such a long trip.

This is the official word on it:
Quote "Founded in 2176 and launched in 2185, the Andromeda Initiative is a civilian, multi-species project created to send scientists, explorers and colonists on a one-way trip to settle in the Andromeda Galaxy. With powerful benefactors lending their support, the program has grown substantially in scope since its inception. The Initiative's ultimate goal is to establish a permanent presence on the seemingly resource-rich frontier of Andromeda, and eventually create a reliable route between it and the Milky Way Galaxy."
Said initiative consists of 4 Ark ships, each of them carrying a different race (so apparently race-exclusive ships?) and a Nexus which is a forward command center staffed by multiple species that arrives in Andromeda early to pave the way for the Arks.

Interesting. So it seems to be going more towards a colonization angle rather than a resource seeking one. That's how I am interpreting this. It mentions that Andromeda is resource rich, so colonizing it wouldn't be risky for the volunteers who will go there.

Andromeda is more the twice as big as our galaxy and contains about a trillion stars. It should have more resources, but it could also have a lot of resource-consuming civilizations that dwarf the Citadel races.
Oh, and reported for not knowing that.
Oi! I knew Andromeda's size! You dare question my cosmic nerdiness!
Although I didn't consider the bigger civilizations... *braces for incoming ban*
I'm more and more excited !
Looks good!
The fast paced action isn't my style, I'll probably stick to the old fashioned way of doing things.... Anyway, this is some seriously inspiring content. Makes me wanna get back to writing my novel.
Dear God, those horrible animations - have they learned nothing? Not to mention how hideous the default fem!Ryder looks like. Seriously, that part where she gently takes the gun from the guard's hand, face not changing a bit - who thought that was a good idea?

In the games defense, it hasn't been released yet
Trailers are meant to show the good/best parts about your game.
What does it tell you if this is what they decided to push out, combined with previous trailers shown?
How much worse was the stuff they didn't show?
Also this is modern Bioware we're talking about, a division of EA. Expecting good things from them leads to disappointment.
So on its 600 year voyage have Bioware explained why the ark never encountered the Reapers and got destroyed?

Look at ME, ME2 and ME3 trailer, it ain't the best definitely at least. There are all rather pathetic trailer concerning the scale of the game (but no spoiler, we go for the story through this adventure).

So on its 600 year voyage have Bioware explained why the ark never encountered the Reapers and got destroyed?
If you think space is like a city with streets and car having flashlights, you're just wrong.
We don't even know 10% of all the asteroids of our own solar system and if a spaceship the size of the car get in and out we may not even be able to detect it.
I know the reapers are advanced but we're talking galactic / universe size here.
And lastly, once they are in FTL... "reaper eluded" ::)

That's irrelevant because your comparing that to today's standards where we rely on unmanned craft and are still at least two decades away from putting a man on Mars. Mass Effect takes place 170 odd years in the future with the relays and FTL travel, meaning pretty much all of the solar system will be mapped. And yes the streets and cars having headlights is a perfect analogy actually because the mass effect relays are essentially a road map going in and out of the galaxy. The Andromeda arc launched in 2185 I believe, which means as they were leaving, the Reapers were close to arrival. And considering the Reapers comprised of hundreds of thousands of sentient machines designed to wipe out all organic life in the galaxy, I doubt very much they would let an entire multi-species ark slip through their fingers.

The Andromeda Initiative launches Mid-ME2. ME2, give or take, is supposed to be several months long. This was used with no reliance on Mass Relays. There is no direct path to intercept Andromeda instantly, hence why it takes 600 years to arrive. Everybody in the trilogy except perhaps Liara T'Soni or Wrex is dead of old age... or y'know, extinction.
I do have a theory myself that Andromeda will somehow involve a Reaper, or Protheans. I know for a fact that Cerberus is on the Ark ships, so its possible.

And in ME universe the Reapers are still two decades away to have leave for another galaxy, which means the entire universe is a purely speculative place just like our solar system is for us now ::)
Or if they did leave and are on another galaxy, why the hell would they send a reaper after since there are already reapers awaiting for them ? lol

Precisely the point of the Leviathan in some way.
The milkyway is just an experiment and sufficient enough to analyse the anomaly.
There's no need to expand, it would just be a waste.

Actually it took the Reapers just three years to reach the milky way from dark space. That's completely different to humans taking 20 years to reach Mars and a pretty surefire demonstration of how they are thousands of times more advanced than humanity or any other species ever would be.
And the second part of your statement makes no sense at all.

There is no precise description of the exact location in "dark space", they could simply be at the very edge.
And having the capacity of going somewhere else doesn't mean you have the capacity to send an entire fleet of reapers to another galaxy which would be stupid since they developed in the milkyway and their problematic might not even apply in another galaxy.
And it does makes sense since, if the reapers are everywhere in the universe, no matter where the ship think it's leaving, it'll never "leave" the conflict.
It's never said the reapers are everywhere in the universe...
The Leviathan programmed this directive to seek a final solution to save organic life from synthetic destruction. The directive then found one, albeit vague and flawed, and turned all of Leviathan into the first Reaper. The Milky Way galaxy became its experiment for countless cycles of 50,000 years of harvesting advanced organics and then allowing the rest to thrive, each time creating a new Reaper Capital ship. The bottom line is the AI was flawed, and following one order. Ergo, it was confined to the Milky Way galaxy.

I'm worried for this game. I loved the whole trilogy. Even 3. f**k, 3 is my favorite.
Mass Effect: Andromeda's new North American release date is Tuesday, March 21, 2017 for the PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Europe gets it on the 23rd. (http://kotaku.com/mass-effect-andromeda-s-new-north-american-release-dat-1790755616)
I still can't decide whether I want to pick that up or not. :-\
I pre-ordered it. I was big time disappointed by ME3 but I still loved it cos... Mass Effect.
I'm giving this fresh new start a chance. So far everything looks good enough to me.
I just hope the story delivers but since it's not a real sequel of anything, I'm sure it'll manage.
I hope bioware have heard about the complain of Dragon Age and the last Mass Effect and improved upon it.
Milky Way weapons and basic Soldier load out for the win.
Why am I so conflicted on this? The trailers look good, the gameplay looks fun, just something about it is keeping me from really wanting it.
Well, I still have time. I never got to try the Mass Effect 3 DLC, so might as well replay.

No Reapers, no Milky Way and no Shepard (or anyone else from the old gang). They're sacrificing a lot of the world-building that was done for the ME trilogy to give us this fresh start.

I'm playing it now.
And to be honest, I'm fine without Shepherd. Never liked them.

Perhaps you should make a custom Shepard.
Natalie Dormer voicing a character that's potentially romancable... I'm just going to juke Peebee now.
I wonder if Bioware can accurately render Dormer's trademark permasmirk.
Hmmm... after finishing Mass Effect 3 again, and reading up on what the story was supposed to be before they changed writers, I'm curious what you guys think.
Spoiler
How easy would it have been to just have the Crucible play into the original plan, and it somehow stops the accelerating entropy caused by Biotics and Dark Energy? I mean, if you wanted the last chapter to just be an apocalyptic war, then whatever, but changing the reason for the conflict to a generic A.I. story just seems unnecessary, and less interesting
That, and the Leviathan DLC sucked.

Could you explain the dark matter and entropy in more detail or is there something I could read? I recall the plot summary being vague.
Sure.
We actually saw part of this plot in ME2. Remember the sun that was dying too fast? Yeah, that was set up.
Should have just worked on the ending of ME3, like coming up with a boss battle.
I always preferred the original ending. The idea that the Reapers have to periodically cleanse the galaxy to prevent the "mass effect" from destroying everything seemed perfectly in line with them being our "salvation through destruction."
Instead, we got...

But also recognizing that the Cycle was unsustainable, as entropy will happen regardless, and to an immortal being, the longer wait for heat death doesn't matter. I like the idea of the Cycle shifting purpose to fixing the problem, at the risk of Biotics periodically existing.
Why didn't you like Leviathan?
It's like explaining the origins of the Lovecraft Mythos. There's no need to do it, and it just detracts from the mystery for no benefit. They already did it with the Prothean DLC. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, though, like maybe the answer would at least be interesting. Honestly, I'm not sure if we even learned anything outside of what the Reapers creators looked like. All the other information conveyed was things we already knew about the Reapers. They're Synthetics made to control Organics. We know that already.
At least with the Prothean DLC we got some new information.
Is it me or are the animations for Andromeda look..bad? Bioware's animations have never been great but damn this game looks unappealing.

They looks slightly better than the original trilogy (which looked terrible on human being but that's understandable that's the thing we can relate to).
But, the graphics looks much much much better now, which leads more and more to the strange paradox called the uncanny valley. While it didn't bother us on the old Unreal 3 Engine because it felt like a game, it now becomes less and less forgiving since any anomaly sticks out due to level of details games now have. But they are slightly better than the original trilogy, just not on par with a Hollywood blockbuster despite the realism of the game exceeding many 90s movies using CGI.
While you're correct, there are issues that can't be chalked up to that explanation. The videos they're putting out right now have things like secondary characters standing stock still with no animations. Not background characters, people standing next to the main character, who is in motion.
Not saying that's a reason not to play it, just it's an identifiable animation error.
Wait, I just realized something... I don't see a tactics mode. Has anyone seen any mention or footage of the game being paused mid combat?
I'm going over the gameplay videos at half speed (wanted to get a better idea of the actual gameplay) and I am noticing a lot more animation errors. There are artifacts and shapes just flickering in and out of scenes, cloth physics freak out, and I swear I saw an enemies torso twist in half on death.
I know Biowares animation was never spectacular, but it was at least consistent. The fight scenes in the second and third games hold up pretty well. I wonder what changed.
Maybe we're just so used to lie trailers and lie gameplay (thanks Ubisoft) that we've become hyper critical of a trailer that isn't wearing its make up. If the game has some jank to it, I don't care, I'd like to see it in an honest light.
Hey,
it was probably an early build.
New footage of gameplay:
Animations are much more polished (and it's still an early build according to comments).
It remind me a lot of ME1 in a way.
I don't mind bug and glitches, it's the first Mass Effect on Frostbite 3, ME1 was full of error, wrong brush collisions, overlapping brush, animations error, frame rate weird drop a lot more.
They got much better by the time ME2 was released and ME3 worked like a charm.
I'm sure Andromeda is (unintentionally) heading toward a repeat in that respect of the first trilogy.
Lines from the protagonist sound annoying.
ME3 was wretched because of the non-ending.
I don't know why they're pushing this Peebee character so hard.
http://www.gamesradar.com/mass-effect-andromedas-asari-squadmate-peebee-is-completely-goofy-and-has-a-big-ol-hand-cannon/
She just seems irritating, and the dialogue, in general, is really putting me off. That IGN video gave me some horrid Final Fantasy X-2 vibes. I've been optimistic about this game, but I'm finally starting to get worried.
I like a lot the fact each character isn't #genericCharacter2546 to appeal you only.
I mean, Ash was a racist, Garus a grim vigilantes, Tali a kid, Liara an introverted shy person, Kaidan an irritating depressed biotic, Grunt a gun holding a gun, Thane a religious assassin and so on...
It's what made them great, different personalities and side to show a grey world instead of a black and white where you could relate to everyone because they are like you.
Chances are, you don't like goofy persons, but some may.
I personally don't like Racists or Depressed people, but the story and course of action made me understand and work with both Kaidan and Ashely. So wait and see, we got nothing here beside few bits of gameplay.
I'm really glad about the raider ennemies though.
One thing that pissed me off in ME3 was the lack of enemy diversity. Reapers or Cerberus, come on ! Couldn't they've made us fight Korgan, Salarian, Asari who's been indoctrinated and not just turned into reaper monster, I thought it was the weakest spot of ME3, that lack of grey line fitting right in the middle between what was good or bad.
It's something I really loved about ME1 and ME2, different factions, beliefs, quest, missions and small storyline to go with.
Cos, raiding on Cerberus 99 times in ME3 for side mission was utterly boring.

I don't think there would have been time to have any new "grey" characters in ME3. I always got the feeling you were racing to get aid for earth and to rally a good defense against the reapers.
Speaking of which I need to finish my original trilogy playthroughs for the PC...I've been in the middle of ME2 for a month.

Speaking of which, ever noticed that ME3 is basically just Dragon Age? Unstoppable enemy headed this way! You, sole survivor of the hoard, run in front of the death wave and rally all the other factions before it reaches them.
Then again, ME1 was a similar narrative structure to KotoR... I really hope Bioware doesn't become another Telltale.

I'd recommend it, actually. But yes, the narrative structure is pretty similar to ME3, though ME3 felt more open-ended, what with the Normandy and revisiting areas whenever you wish. Dragon Age was more like KotoR in the sense that you moved in a linear progression from hub area to hub area, and each hub was a chapter of the story.
It might feel a tad bit dated, though, but not nearly as much as KotoR.

This is not the case with Dragon Age Inquisition. It's completely open-world and open-ended, unlike ME3 or previous DA.

...what?
I'm talking about characters sexuality being fickle and changing based on the players choices. Romance options weren't gay or straight or bisexual, they were whatever you needed them to be if you showed interest in them. You could play the game as a guy or a girl and everyone would be a romance option, without them being bisexual. They tried to make it seem like a progressive decision, but it just came across as a bunch of trophy characters, ironically.
It made their characterization feel fake and manipulated. Garrus wasn't gay and Tali wasn't a lesbian, they were Garrus and Tali, and we loved them for who they were. We didn't change them to suit our needs at that moment. Just write good characters.
I agree with what you said Sabby for the first trilogy.
It wouldn't have been good to have everyone be bisexual, it just would have been diminishing concerning the character personality.
But I could totally see the opposite for Andromeda and it wouldn't bother me since they go on a complete different galaxy.
I'm sure sailing in another galaxy would have you probably more open to sexuality.
But either way, it's not really important for the moment, it's coming soon so there is our answer.

You misunderstand. Characters in DA2 were not all bisexual. Many were only one orientation, and that orientation depended on the protagonist. If you never approached a character romantically, most of the time you would not find out what way they swing. If you approached them as the opposite sex, however, they would be straight, and if you again approached them as the same sex, they would be gay. I don't remember if there were any that were canonically bisexual, but a good portion of them were Protagonist Sexual.
This is just me, but I find that really cheapens the characters interactions with me. Knowing that their sexuality is not even their own and that I can pinpoint the exact time that I decided it for them, makes the relationship feel kind of like mind control. The illusion of a person I am meeting and learning about and forming a relationship with is ruined.
This only reason this really became a problem was because Bioware was so outspoken about its diversity, while people were already starting to criticize the romance options, so here comes this thing that just compacts most of the complaints. It was a bad decision at a really bad time.
I didn't catch you were speaking of DA2, since I haven't played it, I'll zip it.
(Even if I agree at 100% with what you say, it's an illusion of choice that makes the game way too comfortable and "soul-less". Characters personality should be well defined and not just changing on a few variable to match your desires).

I just now found out that there is a canonically gay Romance option in Dragon Age 2, Dorian Pavus. So, I was wrong on all of them being Protagonist Sexual, though the reason for the exception is it's own can of worms. I'll just drop the video I got it from.

EA is cancer. I don't know, after DA:I I really lost the love for Bioware. the first Mass Effect hasn't really aged well but I love 2 and 3 {despite the weak resolution}.
Maybe it'll be worked out by release but the cynical bastard in me says not to count on it. Either way I'm sure plenty of people will buy and love the game. For better or worse EA will get their shekels.
I already pre-ordered. I'm weak. I know I'll play it eventually and could be very disappointed, but I don't want to wait.

You should buy 2B's game instead.
At this point, Bioware fans tend to act like they have battered spouse syndrome.
No matter how much Bioware disappoints, no matter how much it lies and shits on them, they'll keep coming back for more. They'll keep preordering and buying DLC and wondering why these games keep getting worse.

This is accurate for a lot of fans, tbh. I only hope they'll wake up and see the truth. For their own sake.
The antagonists are now confirmed

Calling me a Debbie Downer implies that negativity and skepticism surrounding this game is unwarranted, when it's anything but.
It doesn't imply that at all.
I'm calling you that because you're being negative about it before actually seeing anything from the game that isn't used as promotional material.
Isn't promotional material supposed to be good though? You know, show off the good parts of a game? Because they failed in that regard.
It's not like the game is going to undergo some kind of significant revision in less than two weeks before it launches.
I was really pumped for this but after all the pre-release footage I don't think I'll buy it straight away, but wait for reviews. I'll pick it up at some point, though.
Btw I think the first Mass Effect has the best soundtrack, I still listen to it often.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHkBFymRiOs
We're seeing a lot of contradicting visuals. It's just signs that they're lazily showing us different pieces of footage taken across the past development cycle. This isn't me making excuses for them, this is legitimately what they've said in the past. It's EA's business model, don't hold them all to it.

and this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaUU7TtAm5cwas genuine material showing the best parts of the game perhaps?
It's just random shots that looks on their own very unimpressive.
I'm glad the story really hold to it though, you know, the whole picture.
Because I didn't see Grunt jump into a Thresher Maw mouth and explodes it with a shotgun like in the cinematic trailer.
The fight was even kinda lame, but I did learn why I did it, and I really liked the backstory of it.
It's also a way to not spoil anything, which is good when thinking about it.
Also it's a game, there's going to be lots of revisions just like for a movie.
It's part of the whole process. ::)

I refuse to believe, with the work done on DA:I, that the animations we've seen are final. If they are, boy this game is going to sink fast.

It's fine though, we're just at the limits of technology. Multiple different face rigs are hard for a full time animation department, and that's why the gun is backwards.
Bunch of nitpicky Gaters in here.
Gaters? I'm unfamiliar with the term.
Take a stroll through the Mass Effect Subreddit some time, you'll get a comprehensible, non-biased view of what Gamergate is, and why everyone who is concerned about Bioware is a Gater, and also fat and a virgin.
I f**king quit. They rushed Andromeda at the last second. it's gonna be like the weapon-changes in ME3 that never match your loadout.

Games Journalists are good at games.
Watching every bit of promotional content for this game has been a cringe on part of the player.
I stopped at the exploration video. The game has already made a good enough case for me to buy it, I'd rather not see any more. The game clearly has some issues, but I'm pretty sure I'll find some enjoyment. The core gameplay looks fun, the open world stuff is promising (also concerning) and I can honestly deal with the inconsistant animation.
It's the plot and charactera that will likely kill this for me. Hoping beyond hope that isn't the case, but there's just too much separation. New place, new characters, new goal, new villain, and none of it is grabbing me in the slightest.
Please be good despite this...
I'm going through it with origin access.
It's weird in a sense it's totally new.
It fits just between ME1 and ME2 in terms of story and characters so far.
Doesn't feel rushed but it goes enough straight to the point.
It's by far the best looking mass effect no doubt about it, everything is gorgeous.
Spoiler
I'm especially in LOVE with the kett's design (buildings and machinery) which are a total ripped of Hans Ruedi Giger / Prometheus style bio mechanic weird phallus and pipe all around shapes. Almost looks like an Alien game at some point.

People blatantly stereotyping homosexuality by accident, lol
I don't understand how people can invest so much in a fictional characters sexuality that it makes them that upset when it's the opposite of what they wanted it to be. ::)
Nobody complained about Ashley being straight, yet more people were weirded out by Kaden deciding he's bi in ME3.
I honestly didn't know that because I always leave Kaden on virmire...

What is it with people associating short haired women with homosexuality? I have a friend who has the "short haired = lesbian" mentality and it's really annoying.
Alright, she has short hair and is straight, whoop dee f**king doo!
"Queer coded" maybe the straight person likes the style? Ever consider that? What is queer coded anyway? First time I heard this term. I don't think a style is "gay" in any way, it's the sexual orientation that makes one gay or not. The style is a personal choice, I could choose to grow my hair and dye it pink and start wearing bright coloured clothes, someone's bound to think "he's definitely 100% gay" and they'd be wrong.
(Not having a go at you Sabby, just those dumb tweets.)
Those people need to go outside and take a nice deep breath and just appreciate the world for a moment. Stop worrying about a fictional character's sexuality.
Real talk, it's because people assumed it before hand (Which was ironically Problematic in the first place and just goes to show how they're as bad as they accuse others of being) and so already started to identify with her. Confirming she was straight is telling these people that connection they formed is wrong and the feelings that came from it are illegitimate and have to be put away now. To a well adjusted, socialized human adult, this is a very easy thing to do.
I don't want to dominate the discussion with the ridiculous antics of Bioware fans though, just nothing is happening right now. 4 more days until I can get my hands on it, and I'm actually quite anxious about it.
Spoiler
So I finally came to end the 10 hours so thing pre-access and despite being very optimistic of the game in the first place, I'm full of worries now for the game.
I don't give much about characters sexuality/orientation, facial animations and so on, in fact this never bothered me the least in any mass effect.
What bother me much is that the game is really closer (despite appearance) to ME3 than both ME1 and ME2. It's something where they spent much effort into combat, driving vehicles and multiplayer and have left the Single Player most basic elements to the side.
Dialog choices are pretty poor and neutral, there were a thousands things I wanted to say or felt like Sheppard in ME2 would have say but the option never rose so I was left there with a passable answer that I didn't care of.
There's especially this thing at the beginning where Liam one of your squadmate decides on his own to kill a Kett first while right before it I stated "let's handle it with first contact protocole, don't shoot unless we're being shot at first" and what does the guy do at first? Launch a grenade instantly at the ennemies because they are beating a bit another friend. So he killed them both and I really wanted to have this dialog saying "doode WTF! I said do not fire unless fire upon" but nah, every answer was vague like "Oh we are the invaders bad guy" either with a touch of humour or seriously. I'm really disappointed and I fear the rest of the game is going to be very action oriented and the story/dialog will be drawback.
The story itself, let's speak of it. It fails at the rudimentary basis for a beginning. Within the first 3 hours of game, I had no ideas what I was supposed to do, who are the ennemies (beside my squadmate who fired upon a new Alien species first) and what's the plot to be honest. The second mission is a copy/paste of the first mission on a different planet where you have to de-activate some kind of weather tower. And guess what, there's likely to be one on each planet, so the main campaign has likely seven mission which are absolutely identical. ::)
I'm really disappointed the game opening did not happen on the milkyway, because of that I barely make any connection to the milkyway and the 634 years of nap feels very casual because for me the game started arriving at Andromeda. If I was a new player I would really wonder who are these aliens species with me and as a Mass Effect Player I really can't manage to connect with anyone because everyone came in a different ark and this is explained like a surprise "after" you arrived at Andromeda while this would have been smart and logical to have the character be briefed (rapidly but still) on the milkyway galaxy so you know you goals very clearly.
I also for fun started listening to the soundtrack and, I know each one his taste but it's really nothing close to any Mass Effect beside the galaxy map soundtrack perhaps. You'll notice that ingame, all musics are kind of swallow, they don't stand out and manage to be unnoticeable which is also due to the fact there are probably only a handful music for the entire game that will be repeated copy/pasted during the entire adventure rather than having a large soundtrack like the first two ME which alternates from time to time to fit the atmosphere.

The only good thing to come from this so far is the insistence that Sara Ryder is autistic and thus has become waifu material overnight.
I love the internet.
So I just heard that the lead facial animator for Andromeda was an online cosplayer with no video game experience.
Is that true? Now that explains the animations.
Andromeda has already become a internet meme to laugh at. What a shame.
You might be thinking of the women who falsely took credit for the animations (I have no idea why anyone would do that) by lying on her Twitter profile. I'd like to say 'the f**k were you thinking?', but even if she was responsible for them, she shouldn't be attacked for it. I also don't think the racist c**t in charge should suffer any repercussions for this either.
The only thing that members of the MEA team should be held accountable for is the same things every other dev team is. If you can demonstrate shadiness or extreme incompetence, then, by all means, go after them through official channels, but they shouldn't lose their jobs over substandard work or shitty opinions. The first is up to EA, the second is their right to be idiots.
Still waiting on my code, still convinced I'll like the game. People are citing the 7/10 average ratings as proof the game is garbage when that's a pretty decent score.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgFHIR7lLC0Dat writing
I feel you, Salarian bro. I feel you.
People are comparing the animations to Oblivion.
I... think Oblivion looks better. The faces in that were bad, but you could just tell it was a face rig reading data. Everything it did was mechanical, but you could chop the conversations up into single muscle shifts and see something that didn't repulse you. It was recognizable as a human-like face that was moving.
Andromeda doesn't have that for me. It holds horrible expressions for too long, the eyes hold still as the head moves, the entire cheek will pull up like someone off screen is pulling it with a hook, and the entire f**king mouth just extends out of the face like a Pingu Xenomorph.
I hate to sound like one of the hyperbolic shitbabies that are going after this game, but I'm sorry, they're right in this case. Oblivions facial animations, while being their own kind of terrible, are generally better.
Jesus, how the mighty have fallen. Environments look great, that's it lolThe problem with the facial animations, is that they're spasmodic when they should be subtle, dead when they should be expressive, they're just all over the map; there are moments where they're serviceable but they are few and far between. I'm not even a big Mass Effect fan; having only played a little here and there, but damn did they drop the ball here.
The original Trilogy had some jank to it, but overall, it was good. Honestly, the animations here aren't the problem for me, it's the writing. I'm hearing universally negative things about the writing (outside of maybe two people on the Reddit who I'm convinced are a bad bus trip away from being initiated into a cult) and that's the real shame to me. I know I should play it first, but considering the f**king dialogue in Peebees loyalty mission, I can believe that.
Mass Effect should not be evoking memories of Final Fantasy X-2.
I'll make my own judgement of it tomorrow after work, I'm installing it now. I never played ME for it's amazing animations or anything like that anyways.
There's no way it'll be as bad as Halo 5.
Halo 5 had bad animations?
What was bad about Halo 5 again? Seem to recall it being pretty well received critically.

I meant personally. Halo 5 (excluding 2 missions) was awful to me. It was pretty, but the story was crap. When it comes to games like that I'm more about the story than I am about how it looks. If ME:A's story is good then I'll be satisfied, thats why none of this animations stuff has bothered me so far. I've actually found most of it funny

Moments like that weren't as frequent as they are in Andromeda, granted Bioware aren't known for being lauded for excellent facial animation, but here's a demonstration -

It's a shame because the environments look so nice, hopefully it all gets patched up at some point.
In the comparison with Ashley the Andromeda character's eyes are too wide and "stiff".
With female Ryder I think it's just her face, nothing I've seen in any of the promotional work of her has looked as good as male Ryder's.

We've all had a lot of fun shitting on the game, but now I'm going to do my absolute f**king best to purge the keks from my brain, drop my expectations to zero, and really try to experience this game in as close to a vacuum as is possible without a memory scraping.
I really hope this game is good with the right head space.

A game is either good or it isn't. There's no "right head space" about it my friend. All that leads to is lying to yourself to justify spending the money.
I both agree and disagree. You're right, the games quality doesn't change because of how I feel, but my ability to enjoy something can be hampered by my mood and expections. I'm trying to open myself up to whatever the game has for me.
Was there a day one patch? I'm making a custom white girl with no issues.

I did the first mission last night plus 2 side quests. I honestly haven't seen much of what everyone's complaints where about. The only two problems I've had are Addisons face and the fact certain cut scenes have lagged for me. I'm running the actual game just fine, but the cut scenes are the thing that lags which is odd.
Addisons face...there's no animation in the world that could save that disaster.
Welp, that was fun. Mouse got stuck on screen, textures stopped loading, and then a loading screen hung until I had to kill the process. Let's try that again.
Edit: Aaand I can't progress. Instantly, a game breaking glitch. f**k.
Further edit because f**k Origin: Game didn't install the redistributables. Hoping maybe those and a reboot will let me play the game.
I'm really trying to be positive here.
Don't listen to the reviews. Game's a blast. The only major issue are technical bugs. On my monster of a laptop I get random lag spikes and the f**king lighting effects are a huge lagfest.
Facial animations are fine. It's no worse than Mass Effect 3.
Story isn't inconsistent. What the hell were you talking about, Le Celticant? There's just a whole lot to do because it isn't linear.
Please don't listen to the reviews and pick this game up whenever you want. It's fun.
Problem solved. Origin downloaded the game wrong, because it's a great f**king program. Working now.

Fun is subjective. What you find fun, others won't, and vice versa. Example: I don't find eating shit to be fun.

Did bioware/EA hurt you? Because it seem's like you have a personal vendetta against this game
Not really. I just call it like I see it, and I have no misplaced affection for Bioware, let alone EA. The former is not even a shadow of its former self, while the latter is one of the shittiest companies ever to exist in the history of video games. There are undoubtedly some redeeming bits about ME:A, I don't question that. Folks have mentioned improved gameplay, but I'm not one to look past everything else, just because it might have good combat.

Man, people weren't kidding. The game's character animations are f**king hideous.

Playing it would imply giving money to EA for it and that's a big no-no. I have watched pretty much everything about there is about it though. And on that note, I have to say how pitifully sad that about the only somewhat decently animated scene is the sex/romance scene between Cora and Scott Ryder. I mean, they're both still quite hideous in their "notsureifhuman" forms, but the scene itself is substantially better than 90% of the game in terms of animation quality.

Are you joking? I've replayed Mass Effect 3 four times, and I've seen more and worse animation errors in my first four hours of Andromeda. f**k, people's eyes don't even move half the time. They face directly forward, so when the head moves around, the eyes move with it, and don't stay on the person being spoken to. If you can't have people look at each other when they speak to each other, then you failed to animate that scene.
And that's JUST the eyes. I agree that some people are being hyperbolic about the animations, but acting as if this is okay or expected is just as stupid.

Quote from: Gate on Mar 22, 2017, 03:53:06 PMStory isn't inconsistent. What the hell were you talking about, Le Celticant? There's just a whole lot to do because it isn't linear.
Actually, there is very little to do because it isn't linear.
Scanning 20 minerals and 16 plants ain't a lot to do, it's one thing to do, multiples time.
Same for remnant Vault.
The main plot is very thin and very predictable.
I haven't been surprised once so far and I'm about to kick for the last mission.
There are a few sidequest that picked my interest, mostly the one recalling past event and bringing the nostalgia about spectres, cerberus and that kind of stuff. The others were pretty "meh" and the last types are just repetitive tasks across each planet.
They aren't bad they just don't stand out much like you used to defeat husk in ships, caves, fight Eclipse, blue suns, Blood Pack...
It lacks a bit diversity for something that is supposed to be "open".
It's funny because it's everything I criticized in ME1.
In the end both look very alike, they are vast planets fun to roam with the mako/nomad with a lot of empty wasteland and very few interactions showcasing iteration of the same duplication.
My favorite part so far was Havarl, mostly because it was a bit more linear, on foot, and because the game design didn't felt as repetitive.
It's a place of wonder I could loose myself in. I just regrets the too thin sidequests.
---
I think the biggest disappointments so far are
1) The music, pretty neutral/ambient and are the same across each planets. Places don't get a "soul" like they did in the first game where just by the sound I could tell if I was on Noveria, Feros or The Citadel and they are really not on par with ME2 matching feeling with the overall mood.
That being said, they aren't bad, I especially like the galaxy map music, but the SFX around are just too distracting that I can barely get a glimpse at it.
2) The lack of impact for your choices. Probably the most terrible thing for this game. It's funny because every choice you make is incredibly grey. Either way you loose something and you win something else, there's no more "good people" and "bad people". In theory it's good, my only problem with it, the total lack of consequences for your choices. It just ends the quest and it's a "to be continued" kind of choice if there's ever a ME Andromeda 2.
It's really not satisfying to not see how your character progress with the choice you takes. In the original trilogy you could see Shep progression in each game the more you went Paragon or Renegade and there were things that got unlocked along the adventure.
Here now nothing is locked, it's just a way to answer people and since as I mentioned each choice makes very little to no consequences I don't even bother being invested into the dialogue. It's such a shame because when you have choice of Killing X or Killing Y and whoever you kill doesn't make an impact on either you or the game but awaits for another game to tell what consequences are, I feel like it's not rewarding at all and I really regret the removal of Paragon / Renegade.
I'm not saying it wasn't the case in ME1, just like you save the Rachni queen that was a "to be continued" but at least it felt very rewarding since you were building up the personality of your shep. There Ryder doesn't get anything from making choice, every conversation is unlocked at all time.
There's also the problem that choices are too thin and too often. It's always choose from A and B with very little story development and you don't get to know really what's going on. There's no grey "middle choice" also.
And last, there are almost no interruptive actions through the entire game.
It was mass effect trademark since ME2. Now it's just almost gone.
80% of the game and I've probably encountered 3 (I have 100% viability and almost all side quest done).
That has to be a joke right.
But then it's my game experience, each one is own. I just think they went pretty much down for this one so far.
Okay, some positives.
I love everything about The Remnant
Kett are also fairly cool. Reminds me a lot of The Grineer, from Warframe.
The gameplay, so far, is actually surpassing Mass Effect 3 (say what you will about the game's issues, it's a solid third person shooter).
Physics are also very nice. Weighty, hold their form well, very punchy impacts (especially with biotics) and seem to incorporate well with the animations (been a few times where I've punched a guy near cover and he went pretty seamlessly into a rolling over cover death animation)
That f**king Nomad is just amazing.
I'm really enjoying this game. I was skeptical at first about the change of setting, but I have to say, the colonist approach is growing on me.

And? How many times does such an error happen? How frequent are they? How severe are they? How do you replicate them?
This is why 'here's a gif' is as good as not responding to a paragraph at all.
Mass Effect andromeda is for sure the game of the series filled with the most glitch.
Not just the animation, I had every "Enoch" creature on Voeld Stand still roaring but not attacking, like it's stuck.
By every I literally means every one of them while on the other planet they are alright.
I also have a couple of Kett wandering in the middle of the desert with their rudimentary AI if shot, attack unaware of my presence.
The the dialog are full of this glitch moment, or texture & model loading, duplicating, surfing in the entire room hitting all the walls (funniest I had so far).
There's a clear lack of polishing animations for some characters who do in an unconcerned way type on their omni tool or just repeat task they were doing while talking to you.
It's like the animation department made a loop and copy/pasted it for the entire dialog.
I don't recall this last part in the 3 previous mass effect. It's clearly a problem of polishing due to lack of time.
It's terrible because while the SP "main" cinematics are usually fine, the rests could have needed more time and some still even look "work in progress".
As with all EA games I'm sure we'll see a patch for the AI issues.
I think I'm going to table this game until they fix it.

Yup, you better, only for the frame rate drop issue during conversation and texture loading.
Happens for no reasons in moments that don't even requires a lot of the GPU/CPU, it just... drop.
I noticed pressing the skip button fix the issue but you also skip a character line.
Is this really the full crew? This sucks. I already knew you were getting two generic teammates to start off with like Mass Effect 1, but now that I have the rest (aside from that new thing with the tentadreads) I'm kind of blown away at just how uninteresting they all are, and how they were all introduced.
Spoiler
So, you just get handed side cut lady and ethnic Londoner 'what's innit so they's diverse, ah reckon'. Okay, boring, but so were Ashley and Kaiden. Land on first planet.
Turian lady smuggler just appears in crew with an introductory period so brief I actually can't remember it. Might as well have just gave her to me with the other two.
Then that annoying Borderlands reject Asari f**k literally jumps on you, does her 'adorable' fast talk schtick and just attaches herself to the party. So, four characters, almost no introductions, none outwardly interesting, and I only just started the first area.
Oh, cool, a sick new Krogan just throws a space dog through a window and curb stomps it like "Sup". Actually interesting design that was foreshadowed with some lore bites, has an actually established connection to the story and characters, and a fairly good entrance. Okay, getting better. His character is a bit generic (basically Wrex Lite), but still, an improvement.
Then I check the crew window.
That's all of them. They show how many are available from the beginning. So, I know the purple thing is still coming, but aside from that, this is my crew. This is the first time I've actually been mad at this game. Either all these guys suddenly get interesting despite all evidence to the contrary, or ME:A has failed utterly to follow up on the Normandy crew.
To be fair they were never going to be able to come close to the Normandy crew.

Agreed, though the pacing issues are their own let down.
I think we'll get more regular/indigenous crew in the next entry.
The thing that irks me most though is the lack of a Quarian crew member. I loved Tali and Reeger.

Spoiler
Ok for Cora and Liam who are the kind of Jack / Miranda or Kaiden / Ashley entrance that you start with.
Vetra just impose yourself and Ryder doesn't seems to mind much. There doesn't seems to be any "motive" behind Vetra to join you either, or at least not strong motive. Liam and Cora are there because they are part of the pathfinder team and are supposed to assist the pathfinder since the very beginning, it makes sense.
Vetra just... wanted to get off the station to make a difference? Couldn't they had like Garus a very small quest that shown aboard the nexus that she wasn't getting the attention she deserved to confront something (like garus seeking evidence from Saren but put down by C-sec, it's a strong enough motive to join you and make a diffeence). Her character is porrly developed from the start.
Pebee encounter is kind of weird. I wanted to know what she was doing on EOS here, like how did she end up here the whole time but it's never clearly mentioned. She's just after remnant (to help you advance the story) and that's all she's going to be. She wants to discovers so she's along side the main quest of this planet. Somehow "okay" but not very impressed compared to Liara acquisition mission in ME1.
Drak is the biggest disappointment for me. His entrance is probably the best of all your crewmates but, he lack a total motive to join you. Wrex had a common interest, Hired by the Shadowbroker to take down Fist and hunt Saren as a mercenary. It made complete sense that he joins you and his attitude truly revealed the Krogan kind. It was coherent. Drak feels way too soft, almost like a female Korgan. I suppose it's the age but it doesn't fit with the mood of the species, nor it is developed through the game. So the guy joins you on a "let's go" too rather than being stuck here.
It's poorly written to be honest. Saying we'll never get the normandy crew is obvious, but we could get a new one as equally good. It just need proper writing with characters going along the story in a coherent way.
Jaal somehow manages that, he has some kind of motives, although I have problem with the Angaran as being another species that ressemble a lot the human (especially in a new galaxy).
It's such a shame when you think ME1 had at least the Elchor and Hanar to distract us from the casual biped with us (I would have loved an elchor crewmate with that canon on their back XD) they face looks also too human much like the asari and unlike Turians, Krogans, Salarian, Vorcha... basically every mass effect specie.
It feels also very empty to have only the angaran and kett for a 5 years development game.
Overall, it feels very underdeveloped, even this "colonization" story is barely pushed which is a shame comparing to the previous game that had such an attention to that little kind of details. Like for example the planet description which was full of little information. There's barely 3 lines now telling you which minerals there are or if their orbit was changed by the scourge. No thing like "This planet is habitable but is native to an indigenous species, as a result, colony is forbiden on this planet by the andromeda initiative pact" or just things like this that expand the game perspective.
But telling I am surprised would be a lie. It's the guy that wrote ME3...
At this point, a fun scifi shooter with a decent story and open world is all I need. I wanted better, but this I can settle for.

Good one. :laugh:
Honestly, I think it's just poor writing, but from what I've seen, people are upset because the person opened up with their life story about their transition. That's apparently not what trans people do.
That, and in the Milky Way, Krogans were writing Asari love poems, Femshep was with a Turian with a messed up face, Samantha Traynor was probably in a polyamorous relationship with one of each species, and homophobia was some quaint little oddity of the past. The place was pretty tolerant. I really doubt anyone cared in the slightest this person wanted to transition, let alone enough to drive them 2 million lightyears away.
Bioware, you're writing worlds that are not exact matches to our own, so if you really want to use them for social commentary, you have to do more than just pick up real problems and plop them down in your made up fake world where they probably don't make sense.
Wait a minute... I just realized something.
How are we traveling, here? In the Milky Way, we needed the Mass Relay System just to get around, but here, we're going from cluster to cluster just fine without one. Did I miss something?
So far, the travel to the andromeda galaxy isn't adressed.
I just have one more memory to Ryder's father to unlock.
Spoiler
This last memory is about another secret benefactor to the initiative who backed up Jian Garson
Spoiler
I suspect really it to be the Illusive Man, but I doubt it'll explain how they got here.
The flashback are poorly written. Aside from the trick known since ages in dramas, movies, games, most flashback show that you (Scott or Sarah Ryder) are here and present in the flashback, so you should remember and there's no need to showcase them. It's really useless.
I still maintain what I said earlier in a commentary:
The game story should have started in the milkyway.
It could have been cool to just see a glimpse at the citadel. Plus they had the assets, it's not like it's hard to import.
That way you could have quickly learn:
-The different species
-Why you wanna go with your family
-Get a quick tutorial
-Loose less time on a story that really starts at about 50% of the game and have clear objectives.
-Most of all, you could see what it means to take a 634 years nap. Because the game starts at the end of it, the cryo trip feels like nothing and I can't connect emotionally on this level because I have no idea what and who was everyone before going and if you are a new gamer you probably have no clue at all to what's the stuff in the milkyway and what are all the references to past event in side quest with Cerberus and much more I won't spoil here.
---
I'm completely bored of the exploration now, the game suffers the same thing Mass Effect 1 had:
1 basement with a 100 variations of it filled with ennemies. It's really not fun to run every km to the same generic base with the same generic ennemies containing the same generic items/sub quest.
At least ME1 had a lot of planets, here two planets are deserts, one with canyon and plateau, the other with dune and pit. They could have easily merged the two instead of boring us to go back and forth for quests between planet. It's not very apparent at the beginning of the game but when you take a quest on the Nexus that sends you to Elaaden where you then have to go to Kadaraa but you lost track and must go to Aya to then learn that the thing is on Voeld... I feel like I've been watching to the galaxy map for 1 hour to just complete a stupid sidequest for XP. It's not rewarding at all.
There are part that gets a bit better though, like Loyalty mission but they make me cry because I believe they showcase how the game should have been entirely with nice cinematic, smarter dialog and nice fresh places to visit with originality. But it's only 5 missions (I don't count Liam's loyalty, pretty short and stupid to be honest) among a 100.
---
The game definitely feels like a Work in Progress especially in the later part.
I have quest that bug. I've completed them but they are still shown in "progress" and I can't terminate them.
More and more ennemies AI in the later part of the game are glitchy as hell.
Either they go full invisible or they just don't attack you and are stuck in the famous rigging position cross hand thing.

There are also terrible problems of rigging, it's like they hired people for internship and ask them to apply an automatic Rig / Skin to some models.
The results is pretty laughable with muscle/cloth distortion that look like paper where it should be solid metal.
Animation department really nailed the "not to do" in a game. Drak shoulder/arms always goes through his armor when he's moving, talking, gesturing. There's only if he's still sometimes that the pieces don't inter-cross with the body.
Even the lightning department / shading has some very unequal thing.
Some reflections on glass are sometimes 32x32 textures looks pixel has hell (it's only on a few though but still, it's like, why is it alright on 80% of the game, couldn't you've renderd out this one and baked it? They definitely had not enough time) or Krogan faces on Eleedan that are totally black with silverish reflection, where lights are not applied and texture is lacking, probably due to the fact they used Drak head but couldn't come up with the skins for the delivery so they put it pure black, even the eyes lol.
There are also text that becomes invisible, dunno why but I have to restart the game every time to get it back so I can at least read planet's name, emails, journal and inventory.
I meant the Tempest. It's pulling some really ridiculous distances here. I could buy it going some solar system to solar system, but it's also hopping clusters. If I'm not mistaken, it's going pretty much comparable distances to the Normandy, and that needed the Mass Relays.
Oh well, I'm 35 hours deep and loving it. Vetra is my chosen FemRyder f**k, and I've gone full Vanguard. No Combat skills, just passives, all other points pumped into Biotics. I've wiped out entire camps with a Singularity, and that Biotic Amp melee weapon is impressive as f**k.
Heleus is one open cluster and like most clusters, it's composed of a thousands stars.
It's the opposite of a globular cluster which is at the center of the galactic core.
Heleus is on border of andromeda and the cluster holds together because of the black hole at its center.
It's only a fraction compared to a galaxy.
Mass Relays were used to travel an entire galaxy that has a diameter of approximately 100 000 light years.
It's not unrealistic although, they could have adresses that traveling the cluster itself take days if not weeks.
Alright, that checks out.
All in all, the game's worth picking up in a few months for sure if you haven't paid for it yet.

Call me stupid but I don't think I understand why exactly people are mad at that picture.
I understand this character was a male named Stephen prior to joining the initiative, I understand they are no longer a male named Stephen.
Why does the wording of this upset people?
They don't like "diversity being forced" upon
them, the consumer who willingly paid for this game.
Also, because people think that trans people don't play videogames or something. It's complicated.

Because a small group of people inside the demograpic are upset that the writers
wrote a character in a way that is so subtly different to their worldviews that it must be objectively incorrect.
To be fair, from my interactions with people who are in transition (the nice ones, not the spastics), I can kind of see this being irritating. They wouldn't just start talking about their transition because someone asked them "What brings you here?" It's a really sensitive topic for them, and their ultimate goal is to 'pass' as their preferred gender, which essentially makes it a non-topic. They don't have to talk about their transition anymore because it's over and they're what they wanted to be and can just be comfortable.
So to have the trans character be fully transitioned, but still saw fit to leave a fairly tolerant galaxy over it, and even then won't stfu about it... yeah, I can see the irritation.
Exactly, it's not that he's trans, it's the context and the way he acts to explains it up.
Feels like an AI programmed you to answer a very specific question to a common question you ask to anyone.
"Why are you here" most tell about "for adventure" or "starts a new life" but they don't give you more insight.
This guy just goes full bomb: "I'm trans" which is akward. It's not that he's trans, it's that he spits it out like that.
I've finished the game, I kinda forced myself after spending 70 hours in it.
Spoiler
*It's basically ME1 part of the exploration (repetitive task on cliché planet, ya know, the ice planet, the desert planet...)
*Every location is lifeless, it feels like playing Need For Speed when you drive the nomad in a Sci Fi environment, just like ME1.
*There's really nothing, no one and every places look alike. There barely have any effort in places you go.
*The repetition of the main campaign killed me: Go to the tower, scan three glyph, do a sudoku, activate tower, repeat for two other towers, access the vault, activate the vault, run away from the vault, establish a colony, kill the architect, move to the next planet and repeat (5 times) and that is basically the main campaign (with 4 missions that differs, first mission, the one on Voeld where you learn about Kett turning angaran to Kett. Archon's ship mission and finally Meridian and ending. What I'm really disappointed at are the missions which are terribly short. Every missions united are probably shorter than Feros alone. Yet all the vault you have to activate easily takes you 20 - 30 hours into the game.
*It's basically ME2 ennemies, the collector. If fight are funny at the beginning they seems way off the more you play as I realized, I have no control whatsoever to what my squadmates are doing. I can't even change their outfit or weapons. You just have to accept that in every mission you gonna be "on your own" with two NPC eventually doing things. Even the "detonate" power only work once in a while because they need to have their power recharged and not use them, unfortunately, they love to use them instantly. It's not too necessary though, the jetpack makes the game stupidly easy even in Hardcore.
*The story is slow. You learn that the antagonist has an evil plan 80-90% into the adventure. You hit the button for "next mission" and it's already the end. I did not like the flashback "Sam's memory" of Alec Ryder. Cliché to explains what happens.
*Way too many Ellipse to jump cut part. Like a character saying "I'll explain you" to further advance the quest and then suddenly, you receive a mail saying the quest continu. Couldn't they've just said it?
*Lack of diversity. Asari, humans and salarians models are almost all the same. We're miles away from the diversity ME1 had. I'm not saying there weren't repetition in the first trilogy but it wasn't screaming to the screen with every character. I looked at the documentary of ME1 though, it's because of the character customization that it was possible. The system wasn't intended at the beginning for the player but it was a toolkit for the developers to create unique characters. Looking at ME:A customization menu, it's pretty obvious why many character look the same.
*Stupid sidequest, patheticly useless. The worse in the entire trilogy (and I though ME3 had some pretty terrible sidequest with "clear cerberus from this base or take this 3 artefacts") I enjoyed none, I probably had a smile with the cerberus one speaking about overlord.
*The replacement of Paragon / Renegade with the Cornélien Dilemma (a choice that is impossible to choose) every choice is a no choice because basically you gonna somehow have what you want (beside a few one in the game) but they make it meaningless to choose. It's like playing OMEGA DLC and you get this choice: Save Aria, loose Omega support and Oleg die. Save Oleg, get Omega support and Aria die. This is frustrating especially it's about 75% of the choices in this game. There's also no nuance in personality which was ME strongest point. I could only be here "the nice guy" or "the nice guy with humor attempt" among sometimes 4 choices! They removed binary for unilateral choice, what a step back!
*Everything is too unbelievable for the plot:
-You come from another galaxy to colonize andromeda
-The remnant masters are an extinct or long gone specie of colonizer.
-The Kett comes from the andromeda galaxy to colonize and exalt every people.
SERIOUSLY?
And then there's this Prometheus details of Jardaan creating life, Kett using black goo to mutates everyone with barely more sense and meaning than prometheus did where all it does is raise more questions.
*The ending is like ME3 ending, except you don't have a trilogy here to build up to a final momentum. I was emotionally involved with no character and I didn't care much if they show up in the last battle or not. Also last battle, short as hell. It's the shortest ending mission of every mass effect by far. The boss fight is on part with ME2 last boss fight, it's a bit lame and it comes with an ending so not rewarding with a big "to be continued" that is useless because you already guess it when you learn that the Archon is a pawn among the Kett empire.
*Real problem is the unpolished aspect the game has:
-Terrible animations along the game for every specie.
-Some character's rig are laughable, looks like a kid tried to rig a cube in Blender
-Some characters don't have lightning applied.
-Some shading are way off => a few character's face have a shiny metal look
-Some characters totally lack texture => The one that are all black or grey, there are a lot in New Tuchanka but others are spread through the game
-Some persistant bug like => Impossibility to finish quest / triggers don't activate, I have to re-do the entire quest, especially terrible when I can't save during main missions and I spent a good 30 - 45 minutes doing it / ennemies stuck / player stuck / ennemies not reacting / ennemies flying / ennemies are inside a wall and can't be killed / you die for no reason / you go through the floor / you die when using jetpack on stairs / you die when driving the nomad for no reasons / some ennemies are invisible / your team mates are stuck / people you're talking to are off camera / people you're talking too do weird things / Hearing conversation of other people while you talk to someone / being attack during a conversation / dying during conversation because... why again? / character have weird animations suddenly
I'm sure that in one playthrough I haven't uncovered more than 1% of all the glitch there is.
-Some characters dialogue are off screen, meaning you see a ship flying and you and another character speak meanwhile. While in other mass effect there were sequences of you and the character speaking inside the shuttle. It's disconnecting.
-Lack of development in quest, they barely are a XP farm and nothing more. Some even ends up terribly I thought like you get tasked to find someone, you learn he's dead, you go give the news to the original person... who's also dead. And you learn that through datapad. I was like "Hm... whatever".
-Writing is terrible, dialogues are... yeah I get it why people think on the internet they cringe.
-The galaxy map is beautiful at the beginning and very annoying into the end when for a quest you have to scan 4 different things in different systems. It's slow...
Honestly, I was super optimistic for this game.
I like the idea to go in another galaxy.
I'm a fan of Mass Effect universe/mythology
I like some of the things they did, like the tempest, galaxy map, attempt to have it a bit more open world.
It just didn't pay off for me.

It's a series where homophobia and inter-species relationship controversy as well as religion are nearly non-existent.
Bigotry and religion still exist, but it's mostly Asari doing it, ironically. There's plenty of cross-species prejudice to go around (Krogan and Salarians, for instance), but the only species that seems to broadly practice in species discrimination over sexuality is the Asari. They typically don't like the Pure Bloods, so if an Asari just happens to fall in love with another Asari, and doesn't do her duty in adding more genetic diversity to the species... yeah, you're the Mass Effect faggot/tranny. That, and they're quite openly religious.
Humans seem to be the more Godless. It's like when they were writing the game, they were relatively smart with human advancement, and had bigotry and religion slowly disappear as we became a more advanced species, but when it came to writing alien races, we just did what we always do when writing human-like cultures, we just filled it with our own bullshit.
Yeah, I kind of don't like Asari, if you can't tell.

I think this comes from a species being stagnant and unchallenged for thousands of years. The arrogance spills.
As for the xeno-bigotry I think it comes a lot from the Rachni Wars and Krogan Rebellions. The Krogan weren't societally ready for technological enlightenment.

To be fair to the Asari, having an offspring with another Asari can result in an "Ardat-Yakshi" which could be a very dangerous offspring.
I'm sure you remember encountering one in the previous games, the build up to her encounter felt rather tense as her mother would throw a f**k ton of warnings in your way.
So the bigotry kind of does stem from a biological flaw here, "hey, you just risked lives to get laid asshole." Whereas something as innocent as homosexuality doesn't have the same risk as creating a vampiric succubus abomination.
I think the Asari may actually be justified in their fear, at least for THAT particular case.
That's what I understood from it, if you know anymore about Ardat-Yakshi or how Asari biology works and if any have been created from inter-species relationships, then please let me know.
I definitely agree with your criticism on the alien cultures and human cultures. We are very arrogant when it comes to that.
Another criticism I have about some sci fi like Star Trek and Mass Effect, is how comes a young species like humanity dominates these aliens? How is it that we form or take over some kind of federation or galactic civilisation? A young toddler species who just entered the stars somehow diplomatically and sometimes aggressively takes over things from older alien races, some who have been space faring for much longer than we have?
Why is it that we won against the Turians in that war? Realistically, they should've kicked our asses seeing as do they not have the largest fleets if I'm not mistaken?
I remember speaking to the Asari Justicar and asked on her opinion on humans, and she said something along the lines of "put five humans in a room and you get ten different opinions" and how we're such a unique species. Well of course, but aren't your kind as well? Sometimes we do tend to write alien cultures as a bit less diverse than our own and this can be understandable as coming up with cultures of multiple races can be quite challenging but doable.
That quote almost feels like the writers themselves are almost stereotyping their aliens as being a certain way while humanity are "diverse", like how some people stereotype other cultures but only consider their own people "diverse" and unique.
That's one thing I like about the Alien and Predator universe, we're the least influential speck of dust in our corner of the galaxy being constantly on a hunt for resources and space while the Aliens and Predators are constantly fleshed out and expanded upon slowly. Perhaps that's a perk of having only a few intelligent races? More focus on them and less on adding more civilisations.
Can you really imagine us trying to pull that on the Predator race? "Hey guys, let's form an alliance
with humans in charge and Earth as the capital," *Predators transmit a response in spoiler*
Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WofqmWpXJZ8
Star Wars gets a pass for the whole "humans in charge of galaxy" stuff, because in that universe, it's a completely different timeline and humanity has been space faring for thousands of years and is as old as many of the races there I think. So it makes sense.
All true, but the point was that sexual discrimination wasn't that big a thing. If it existed, it clearly wasn't embraced to any extent, outside of the Asari. Even if there's actually valid reasoning to restrict those relationships, they still let it become hatred and disgust.
True, instead of making it hatred and disgust, I think they should've made it something of an actual crime.
Imagine a type of human hair evolved and it was bright green, if two greenies bred, they were 100% bound to make a deadly serial killer while if they had kids with anyone else, it'd just be a normal person or green dude/dudette.
In such a society, it'd be a crime for people of this hair type to reproduce with each other with probably serious fines or jail time and perhaps even mandatory abortions.
Do Asari make it illegal for two Asari to mate? Or is it something they let happen and are just being dicks about it whenever it happens? Because that just doesn't make sense, why allow Ardat-Yakshi to be born? Prevention is better than cure.
It just dawned on me, do you think this whole "two Asari having kids" is sort of an analogy on how some of our societies see incestuous relationships? It's frowned upon, viewed with disgust in many places and can lead to genetic flaws and deformities (and unlike Asari culture, we've made this thing illegal in most countries and states because of the genetic repercussions.) It makes sense as well because Asari mate with other species to bring in genetic diversity just like how we are expected to mate with anyone who is not closely related to us.
And our views on that is reflected in legends like the inbred Sawney Bean cannibal clan and movies or games featuring inbred cannibals inspired by said legend. Ardat-Yakshi are an offspring of a similar analogy in the case of the Asari race rather than an isolated family.
The parables are undeniable, but intent may not have been there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDit1WO12fsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ardat-Yakshi are rares, very rare. Forbidding reproduction is counter productive, survival depends on it.
Unless it creates another paradigm where reproduction becomes a major issue like sur-population there's no need to restrict it.
Asari have been reproducing between each other for a very long time. It's only because of others contact that it presented "new perspective".
But until that point their reproduction was inter specie, much like every specie, it's kind of a tradition and it resulted in many things we know like disease, disability...
The possibility to bread with another specie minor some of this trait and allow for further diversity, it only makes sense they went this way and over the ages, breeding with their own specie became rare, useless and not very advancing for the collective nor optimize the purpose of survival.
And everything that is rare and out of place creates tension, racism, reject...
Finally moved forward through the story, and I have to say, the gameplay is great, but f**k me is Bioware's formula starting to show. It's not to Telltale levels yet, but they're getting close.
"We just finished the level! Quickly Pathfinder, do a necessary evil!" "No Pathfinder! I have an alternative option that is more moral but also ineffectual!" "I am the third option! Pathfinder, I can give you an uncertain middle ground that somewhat appeases both parties but leaves the issue ambiguous"
Hmmm...
Spoiler
I'm really happy they gave me somewhat of a moral grey area to work with. I went with 'option 3', and then shot the c**t after they did what I needed. So, everyone got what they wanted, no blue or red slider to be seen.

I wouldn't be surprised when you know that Sovereign sound comes from a garbage.
Just finished the entire game. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit impressed. I do agree with some of the above, you can tell that the game's formula seemed familiar to Dragon Age and not Mass Effect, but that didn't bother me. Despite the poor optimization, I pushed through it and enjoyed the ride.
Can we talk about how adorable PeeBee's romance is? Please, someone talk about this.

#1: I did not let Dr. Aden go.

On the connections back to Mass Effect 1 and 2...
Spoiler
Holy shit, this benefactor nonsense and the fact that everyone knew about the Reapers is exactly what I wanted to hear. The Initiative was a response to the imminent Reaper invasion, and we know who was working on that: Cerberus. The benefactor had to be Cerberus.
The connection to Cora is still possible. Let's hope she didn't murder Garson. But holy shit... You hear Garrus's father. They talk about Shepard's warnings, and the Reapers. Shit.
I guess that overshadowed the fact that your mom is also alive for me.
Spoiler
Yeah benefactor hidden identity is a big bullshit to just hide.
Everybody knows it has to be Cerberus.
Or option B, I thought it could also be Liara as the Shadow Broker.
But why would she order then Garson to be killed?
Makes sense to have Cerberus covering this.
Spoiler
I can see why some people like the Dragon inquisition style.
Unfortunately it ain't my style of game that I like.
Also the weak story is probably what pulled me off.
I learned within 1 hour of gameplay that Meridian control all vaults.
That Meridian is a city where Angaran were created.
That Meridian isn't meridian but a part of Meridian.
I get to this dyson sphere to finally understand Archon's true plan to terminate / exalt Heleus.
And then I was like:
So the Andromeda initiative comes to colonize, the Jaardan came to colonize and the Kett are also colonizer.
I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I like the idea of the Jaardan were colonizer. But it's like "in your face" at the end.
The kett lost all my attention and I didn't even gave a damn about them anymore.
Such a shame knowing the last part of the game is completely centered around the Archon who could have used more expositon.
I also don't get why people say the game is "slow".
Remove the vault and only keep the story, everything goes at lightspeed.
You arrive at andromeda, things goes south.
You Meet Archon and Angaran 5 minutes away one from the other.
You then instantly assault a Kett outpost revealing Kett's identity.
You assault Archon ship and learns about his master plan.
You track Meridian, discovers Angaran's identity, Meridian purpose and true meridian.
You hit final mission.
That entire story things if done "normally" without the vault takes about what... 3 hours?
There's like 3 or 4 hours of stories in my 80 hours play-through with at least 25 hours of vault-ing around.
Super Best Friends Play just pointed something out and I'm kind of mad I didn't think of it.

Because first time only a small fracture opened in the glass and could be "repaired" I guess.
Second time it's the entire glass that teared apart.
But yeah it's badly written. You shouldn't show your audience a glass repair tool to then make it like it's a deal for next time.
Also your character should have learnt, it feels very lame. Some would say "realistic" but it's not The Sims or farm simulator we're playing.
What I found stupid was that they couldn't exchange every 15 seconds their mask so both could breath.
I can do that with my brother underwater, why the hell can't they?
I'm sure they received training for that kind of situation, it doesn't make sense.
Why is he having a cardiac arrest too? What happened in this scene is beyond me, you see them falling on top of the cliff and then you see a shot with ryder having his helmet broken. Was the jetpack malfunctioning again? The whole scene makes no sense.
It's also so unreliable as a story, basically they just made a mistake.
It's not Kett faults, it's their fault alone.
It trigger nothing for the story. It doesn't had up any emotion.
And also, I think they removed the best character of the game: Alec.

I also don't get why people say the game is "slow".
Remove the vault and only keep the story, everything goes at lightspeed.
You arrive at andromeda, things goes south.
You Meet Archon and Angaran 5 minutes away one from the other.
You then instantly assault a Kett outpost revealing Kett's identity.
You assault Archon ship and learns about his master plan.
You track Meridian, discovers Angaran's identity, Meridian purpose and true meridian.
You hit final mission.
That entire story things if done "normally" without the vault takes about what... 3 hours?
There's like 3 or 4 hours of stories in my 80 hours play-through with at least 25 hours of vault-ing around.
Spoiler
However, rushing through the story in 3 hours will likely cost you a lot of people. I did everything I could to ensure the assault on the Archon had the backing of all Heleos.

Yes indeed but it's like Mass Effect 3 story was:
-Earth intro
-Mars
-Thessia
-Illusive Man base
-Earth Final
and all other important missions like , Palaven's moon, sur'kesh, Tuchanka, Ranoch, Citadel, were "side missions" to build a final.
Especially when this final has real meaning only with Andromeda 2 because the end on itself had very little payoff for characters returning beside who dies or not.
Unlike Mass Effect 2 where the Loyalties mission actually do make a consequence on the end.
There's it's like ME3, you'll either have an extended cinematic (and a few NPC roaming around doing very little) or you won't.
Becuase the result of this final is based on who you choose and the choice (and consequences) was anterior to that final.

That's a pretty major overhaul of the game's content for a patch. Maybe I'll start a new game now.
I'm still experiencing random framerate drops, but I'm suspecting my antivirus is interfering with the game somehow at this point.
Anyway, faces look way less creepy. Addison is no longer a god damn goldfish.
http://www.actugaming.net/mass-effect-andromeda-patch-1-05-comparatif-yeux-avantapres-88195/
So the game finally made it from Alpha to Beta test? :P
Of course, just because the game got a patch doesn't mean it's suddenly become not shit.
The problems with this game go beyond some glitches, bugs or facial animation.
Naturally, that still won't stop some people from pretending everything was magically fixed anyway in one patch.
I tried to start a new game and create a new character with a new face, but I didn't see any new options. Are they forthcoming?
Game froze on me at the end of an Architect fight. Kinda pissed.
Guys, I'm not crazy. I know my specs can handle this game. It's middle-teir for the requirements. What the f**k.
I'm running an NVIDIA GTX 860 with an i-7 processor.

I haven't had anything that bad happen to me, my friend has had similar luck though. I get random frame rate drops, even in places I shouldn't and when there is no fighting going on, but that's about it.
I just updated my drivers and that made framerate and stability twice as bad. I might have to rollback.
Hey,
it happened to me too for unknown reason although it wasn't often.
Mainly on Eos and Voeld, others planets were fine.
Maybe once in the tempest.
I think it's due to an optimization problem and not a driver issue.
---
Or it could be like in most Frostbite engine's game, due to auto save when having two different Hard Drive.
I had this problem in Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Star Wars Battlefront.
It was due to the auto save. Game was installed in E:\ (HDD) and save would go on C:\ (SSD).
Many people have reported similar problem and changing the save folder fixed it.
However sometimes it was just the speed of the harddrive not being fast enough.
Try to check that but I won't promise it's the issue there.
I'm pretty sure my SSD doesn't work anymore, lol. I'll check and edit if this helps.
I let nvidia attempt an optimize and just f**ked the game even more.
Edit: i can't even find my SSD. Checked computer management app, says I have 3 recovery drives that are empty. Wtf?
I know I had a working SSD when I bought this, I could close my computer in less than 20 seconds and boot it back up.
Yup careful with NVIDIA optimization, it's mostly gamer's hell :D
As for the SSD, a failing drive could be the issue.
It's not specifically related to the game (and I doubt it).
-How much free space do you have?
-How old is your drive?
-What does the inhouse analyzing tools tells you about the status of the disk?
So, 112 hours in, and I've only-
Spoiler
invaded The Archons flagship.
Investing in just Biotics and Combat Passives is a total power fantasy. I feel like I need the Metal Gear Rising soundtrack playing.
Seriously, this is insanity. I'm a Great Biotic Wind
Most of my Biotics are maxed out, so Singularity can detonate, I can do two Throws, I can literally Pull a guys Shields right off, and Pull two people at a time, and any time I do anything Biotic related ( which is every other second), it super charges my melee attack. If they have no Shields or Armor, I can just punch them across the room, and through any destructible environments like something out of Dragonball Z. It's insane.
And now, my Annihilation power is practically a constant Singularity surrounding me at all times, so all that destruction is in zero gravity and primes everyone floating for a Detonation, or to just put a Crusader VII against them and casually execute them one by one as they're suspended.
I kind of feel like the next playthrough can't live up to this. Combat and Tech can't be this much fun.
Picked this up finally 2 days ago. Not very far into it yet. But have to say that love it so far. Yeah it may not be as good as the originals. But it's imo still pretty great.
Working on building the outpost on the first planet. The more I play it, the more wish would get a Star Trek game like it.

Completely agree. Resident Evil has always been my favourite series and I've studied its lore closely for 21 years now, but the Mass Effect trilogy remains the greatest gaming journey I've ever been on.
A HD remastering would be a dream come true.
I can attest to the fact that the console versions all play better on the Xbox One X. I think that's the closest we'll ever come to a remaster.

I agree that 2 was possibly the best of the 3.
You definitely need to play Citadel.
Will try Citadel. From reviews, Andromeda does not look good enough to invest a lot of hours into it.
Shame about Andromeda, it had the potential to kick start off a new setting. The game itself isn't the sole problem as it is playable and has interesting moments but like many things, there were a lot of behind the scenes issues, apparently the deadline was too short and the original guy who was in charge for the trilogy was moved to work on anthem or something, EA "requested" it I think. It certainly does not help that the graphics/animations was terrible, especially for a xbox one game.
Mass Effect 2 was the Terminator 2/Empire Strikes Back of the franchise. It never peaked after.
I still think they should somehow find a way to repurpose the original ending. As I understand it, the heavy use of mass effect technology causes a buildup of dark energy which makes stars age prematurely (e.g. Haestrom).
IIRC, that's why the Reapers eradicate all of the technologically advanced civilizations every 50,000 years. If they didn't, this "mass effect" would grow beyond their ability to control and eventually destroy every star in the galaxy.
Hence the significance of the series title is finally revealed.
Agreed.
No chance, Bioware's dead, Anthem's a failure.

I remember reading that their studio heads were afraid to go that direction with the writing because of the space opera type feel the rest of the series utilized feeling that it would be too dark a twist for the franchise kind of like an Alien 3 after Aliens type deal.
I would've liked it. Kind of been an unforeseen twist that had elements supporting it already in the story if you looked.
Indeed and Drew Karpyshyn's departure.
Drew Karpyshyn says there's nothing to rumors that BioWare ruined the game after his departure. (http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/5557/article/former-mass-effect-lead-writer-defends-series-conclusion/)
QuoteLove it or hate it, we can all admit that Mass Effect 3's sudden third-act twist has proven rather controversial. Legions of unhappy fans have taken to the game's official message boards to lodge complaints and petition BioWare to "fix" the ending, with some going so far as to claim that the game's last fifteen minutes have tarnished the entire franchise forever.
In the wake of the controversy, Mass Effect's former lead writer Drew Karpyshyn has defended the game's conclusion, debunking claims that the ending was changed following his departure from the franchise.
Karpyshyn, along with Mac Walters, served as head writer on the first Mass Effect game and contributed heavily to the second before transferring to BioWare Austin to assist on Star Wars: The Old Republic.
A popular theory among disgruntled fans claims that Mass Effect 3's ending was hastily thrown together as a last minute replacement for Karpyshyn's much stronger intended finale, which centered around Dark Energy. A snippet explaining the original plot was posted to the Something Awful forums, attributed to a source inside BioWare:
QuoteThe Reapers' goal was to find a way to stop the spread of Dark Energy which would eventually consume everything. That's why there was so much foreshadowing about Dark Energy in ME2.
The Reapers as a whole were 'nations' of people who had fused together in the most horrific way possible to help find a way to stop the spread of the Dark Energy. The real reason for the Human Reaper was supposed to be the Reapers saving throw because they had run out of time. Humanity in Mass Effect is supposedly unique because of it's genetic diversity and represented the universe's best chance at stopping Dark Energy's spread.
The original final choice was going to be "Kill the Reapers and put your faith in the races of the galaxy in finding another way to stop the spread with what little time is left" or "Sacrifice humanity, allowing them to be horrifically processed in hopes that the end result will justify the means.
But according to Karpyshyn, that so-called "original ending" was only one of several possiblities, and it certainly wasn't as definitive as some fans would like to believe.
"Dark Energy was on the table at one point," he wrote on Twitter, "but the original idea for the ending was all about Reapers and Mass Relays."
Though he's yet to play Mass Effect 3 for himself, Karpyshyn says the ending that made it into Mass Effect 3 is in line with what he'd planned for all along.
"From what I hear, the basic concept of the original ending is there, though some details may have been tweaked," he said.
Karpyshyn went on to express skepticism that his continued work on the franchise would have done much to change things one way or the other.
"Funny. Some upset fans say ME3 was awesome until the end ruined it. Claim it would have been better if I was still on the project. But fans upset about my [Knights of the Old Republic] Revan novel claim it was awesome until the ending ruined it. So maybe I wouldn't have made any difference."
So, there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. You're more than welcome to hate Mass Effect 3's ending — I certainly felt a bit let down by the whole thing. Just don't make Drew Karpyshyn a scapegoat in the process.
Yeah...
The "Revan" Novel is garbage.
Some of ME problem was that it was the end of a beloved trilogy, and if you have noticed they are never usually as popular as the previous installments just because they are the story that brings about the end.
Alien 3, Matrix Revolutions, ROTJ, ROTK, etc.
None of the movies are bad, but I know very few people who prefer those installments over others in the franchise.
My major gripe with it was actually the exclusion of characters from the previous installments. Jack was my love interest in the second game and there was a basic exclusion of her character in the third game.
The dark energy ending isn't necessarily ruled out even with a ending featuring mass relays and reapers.....seems kind of like an intentionally misleading quote to ensure that if bioware needed him to write for something again he could come back.
I much prefer Matrix Revolutions to Reloaded, for what it's worth...
The ending was far from perfect, but I liked ME3 a lot. It's also one of the few games that I played multiplayer.
Can we talk about what a colossal f**k up it was to sacrifice Mass Effect/Mass Effect Andromeda for Anthem? I can't believe they wasted 6 years and millions on what Anthem is. It's being smoked by Tom Clancy's: The Division 2 in that game's alpha, compared against Anthem's Full Launch. This is pathetic. EA and BioWare should be ashamed. I am furious about Mass Effect being sacrificed as a D-list title.

It's not bad though, just not as good as either of the other two. Or even animatrix.

Back when Left 4 Dead was released, I thought it would be a foundation for the next generation of singleplayer games. Each playthrough would have enemies attacking at different times and in different places, different concentrations of enemies, different pickup locations, maybe even different level layouts and reactive characters. All governed by an AI 'director' to keep things fresh and react to how the player's doing. This way, a linear game can be fresh every time you play it.
We've seen a *little* bit of that (Alien Isolation has an AI director to make sure the player isn't excessively pressured), but generally... I think developers ambitious enough to do something like that are now mostly making microtransaction-based online games.

Here's my problem with that;
1.) The same lines of predictable dialogue get stale after a while. NPCs are limited in what they/say do.
2.) NPC Encounters get stale after the 100th time. Fighting other players is...unique. No two players interact with you the same way. Especially in a game like the Division. I've had people surrender to me and do the/handsup emote. I've had a whole gagglef**k of Rogue agents t-bag the hell out of me. You NEVER know what the encounter will bring. Hemmingway said it best.
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.Now I won't say that's
all I care about. I enjoy a good story over everything else. That's what kept me in Titanfall 1. Despite being PvP
ONLY the game had a good story.
Just my two cents on it. May I ask why you don't like those types of games? Bad group experiences? Peer pressure?....???

Yeah this. I have been a singleplayer only guy since I was a kid, but then after trying multiplayer on some games and seeing how unique and unexpected it can always be made me into it. I still see a multiplayer as a kind of an "extra", I evaluate games by their story mode but in certain games the multiplayer was able to surpass its singleplayer.

Old and incorrect video.
The indoctrination theory is just fanatic nonsense, designed for coping with an ending that's hard to rationalize.
At least until the EC and Leviathan released.
The bones of the ending's implication of the Catalyst's deception were always there, just made more explicit with the ending. I bet Casey Hudson thought he was being really clever by incorporating this twist ending. The problem is, it changes the entire meaning of the narrative of the last three games in the last fifteen minutes, and that will never change.
Why is it nonsense?
Because it's complete unfounded fanfiction.
It seems pretty convincing in those videos.
Game Theory is a joke, for good reason. The Indoctrination theory is and always was, nothing but denialism.
It's exactly why Game Theory never followed up their video, because it falls apart when you really think about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ5qPIcuMZAPhysical reality is consistent with universal laws.
Where the laws do not operate, there is no reality.
All of this is unreal.
Ah, MrBTongue the man who predicted GoT falling apart years ago.
Just FYI, Bob Case's most recent work: https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=46782
I thought he was gone, maybe he'll finally upload something again then.
Good to know, he's not lost his sense of humour.
QuoteI almost watch it with a sense of melancholy now. I've become resigned to the possibility that A Song of Ice and Fire may just never be completed. This may be the closest thing we ever get to an ending, and it's so, so far away from the spirit of the books.
Anyway, basically all the criticism exists for good reason,
and no theory "saves it" the only thing that changes it's context, is the ending patch itself and
Leviathan.
Spoiler
Never mind the fact Casey Hudson outright said the ending wouldn't boil down to three different choices.
At least the credits music is a superb choice, back to Faunts.

Who?
What if they made an ME4 that canonized the green ending?
(A Leviathan mind controlled Milky Way? Interesting but)
Already stated with MEA they won't.
And you talk as if Bioware's got a future.
Unless DA4 gets cancelled, then Bioware has at least one more game before EA shutters them. It needs Morrigan though.
I have it.
Mass effect 2 and mass effect 3 are both half the game mass effect is.
Shirley you can't be serious.
I hold each as what they are, pieces of a whole.
ME2 was better than ME. Anything else is CRAZY TALK.
Crazy Talk is a powerful stand.
It's got main waifu in it.
Yeah, Jack is great.
You know me so well.

Understanding the Mass Effect Trilogy ending:
Spoiler
I've been ruminating on this for a long time, and repeatedly returned to a identical conclusion. Since the DLC Citadel released, considering every aspect logically and yes I'm very aware the ending is written awfully. MrBTongue's video series on the subject is the best in that respect.
Anyway, on with the show:
So long before Mass Effect.
Leviathans, apex race of the Milky Way control others races, through mind telepathy with their silver "orb" indoctrination devices.
These slave races, create synthetics to assist them however the synthetics aren't influenced by the Leviathans and therefore, at a certain level of advancement destroy their slavers, which are then subsequently destroyed by the Leviathans.
The Leviathans, in their arrogance create their own A.I to assist them- ironically. The Catalyst.
"Prevent organics and synthetics warring- so we can have our slaves back."
(Basically, without considering, hey maybe the reason these organics and synthetics are warring is MAYBE because they're created/used as slaves?)
So, the Catalyst destroys the Leviathan species but not so much to make them extinct, just enough to create the first Reaper.
What it sees as a preservation of the species a Reaper is made up of, despite the obvious destruction of individuality.
Does that remind you of anything? Fast forward millions of billions of cycles, where the Protheans, thanks to Vigil-
delay the Reapers entering back through the Citadel portal.
It's important because it's the first time since the Leviathans that a civilisation
is able to proceed past the point other cycles ended, leading to further substantial A.I advancement,
in the case of Shepard's cycle that is the Quarians creating the Geth.
So, Mass Effect happens- and if your Shepard isn't a completely incompetent he'll get the Quarians and Geth to coexist,
despite a myriad of differences, never-mind Tail and Legion, EDI and Joker or the other species co-operating.
But the Catalyst is operating on flawed logic, it refuses to see what's right in front of it.
And I suspect it has ulterior motives because the Leviathan states that it "Yet serves it's purpose."
So does the Catalyst lie? No, I don't think so, everything it tells you is true aside from one massive omission.
If you choose Synthesis, you're indeed fixing the problem of organic and synthetic understanding by force. (No consent.)
But fixing it for who? The Leviathans, who last time didn't have control over Organics and Synthetics but now with all
life now being irreversibly linked by Synthesis gain the opportunity once again. (Why everyone's conveniently happy, I'd wager, regardless of the horrific implication of the husks regaining their humanity for instance.)
If the Leviathan race is victorious. It means control over all life in the Milky way until the end of time. Whereas without Synthesis even if victorious after the fact, new evolution is able to triumph.
(Each montage shows the Leviathans evidently didn't win, but except for Synthesis: EDI's bizarre self-contradictory speech and the glowing eyes of the affected is eerily similar to indoctrination, but Reaper indoctrination? No. Leviathan indoctrination.)
Or
You can see through the Catalyst's convoluted and impaired logic, and... Refuse, allowing the next cycle to eradicate the Reapers conventionally-
Or (at the cost of your own life) free the Galaxy by creating a "Shepard" conciousness copy replacing the Catalyst and choose Control.
Or
Choose destroy, destroying the Reapers permanently certainly but only perhaps temporarily destroying other Synthetics, we know this because the Catalyst mistakenly believes you potentially won't survive. So everything else regarding destroy's effects on artificial life is questionable.
Thank you for reading.
Blue ending is best.
I won't argue that idea, although I think it comes down to whether the new (Shepard) Catalyst retires the Reaper "species" elsewhere or enforces a totalitarian peace. :D
In that respect I think both Control and Destroy are valid choices.
God-Emperor Shepard could probably even make a humanoid avatar (like EDI's, but far more advanced).
Perhaps so, although the ending doesn't show it.

What if they made an ME4 that canonized the green ending?
Personality
carelessness
That's what the machines learned from Mass effect 3's synthesis ending. I would know; my first go around was the green one.
I call this concept ass above ass below.
Synthesis pisses me off. It's a galaxy-wide body horror ending.
I'm sure everyone in the universe is fine with being forcibly turned into Tetsuo.
Indeed.
But what about the EDI, the Geth and the inevitable AI rebellion?
lol Yeah, let me trust the Reaper conciousness.

You seem skeptical.
Does the red ending "kill" EDI's brain in the Normandy or just her robot body? Does it leave VIs and other non-AI technology intact?
I want answers!
Yeah, I don't trust the Catalyst.
Neither does anyone with their wits about them.
Judging by the memorial, outright death but we'll never know for sure.
Especially because during the epilogue Admiral Hackett says:
"It will take time, but we can rebuild everything that was destroyed.
Our homes, our worlds, our fleets and defenses. All of this - and more."
As for the Relays, building the Crucible- itself an interface for the Citadel, a relay itself, may've helped.
It's obvious the ending result, is intended to be as ambiguous as without the "Extended Cut" DLC. Or it's Casey Hudson's intention, and so mostly the positive effects are outlined for the player's sense of closure but the negative effects are basically up to the player's own headcanon.
How can we continue the story without leaving the galaxy or canonizing one of the endings?
really the only option I see is set it during whatever time period the epilogue is set in. Since it's the only way you can kind of "ignore" any of the endings and not leave the galaxy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6v3PK88ZOMGod I need to play through these again.
Deus Ex it. Say that canonically a non-descript Shepard united all the races, everyone received the best ending for their questline.
You essentially validate any High EMS choice, aside from Synthesis.
^^^ This.
I think Bioware likes Synthesis.
The Bioware of today isn't the Bioware that released the Mass Effect Trilogy anymore, so I doubt it.
Casey Hudson came back though.
And yet barely had creative freedom over Anthem.

Mass Effect 4, straight up. I'm ready for the redemption arc Bioware.
Admittedly I still need to finish Andromeda
I honestly never heard much about Andromeda when it came out (not that I really went looking for info), which I'm guessing means it sucked.
I actually really like the story and the new crew in it. It's release was plagued by people complaining about faces not "emoting enough" and stuff like that.
And it's plagued with an awful story.
I never even worked up the enthusiasm to revisit it after it's initial release. Did Bioware ever fix it?
What tier is it?
Andromeda would've been fine if it was marketed as a spinoff instead of the replacement for the original story.
People loved the original crew though, and it suffers the same problems that the new star wars sequels do in that people just don't want new cast replacing the old cast.
The story is weak and feels unfinished, but it wasn't as terrible as people made it out to be. 6.5/10.
My money says any ME4 will be a shlooter.
I think it's time for EA to follow Capcom's example and remake the ME trilogy for the PS5/XSX. The graphics and frame rate should be amazing and it would go a long way towards redeeming Bioware.
I'd like to see one long game divided into three chapters and an overhauled inventory system for the entire thing. ME1 was too much, ME2 was too little, but ME3 was a happy medium. They should use that as their basis and improve on it.
They could even retcon the ending a bit to pave the way for ME4.
I'd buy it.
ME2 is right along TLOU as my favorite PS3 experience.
Would you buy a remake of it that had the same polish as RE2's?
I'd by a remake if it was even just a graphics update like the Halo anniversaries, clunkyness and weird inventory and all. If they went the whole way and made it more like ME2 gameplay/inventory wise I'd be ridiculously happy.
Been a Mass Effect drought recently.
Personally, I think EA would be wiser to pursue that course before even trying ME4. They could even give us a multiplayer component tied to all three games of the trilogy (and load it with microtransations, for all I care).
Maybe they could also rework ME3 so the war assets have more of an impact on the final battle.
I think that's the only viable option.
More customization options too. The PC versions always had an advantage with mods that console players never got. It's time to either allow mods or give us a metric f**k-tonne of built-in options.
Yes, I agree.
Don't Fear the Reapers: Why Mass Effect 3 is the Game of the Decade (https://www.cinelinx.com/news/culture/dont-fear-the-reapers-why-mass-effect-3-is-the-game-of-the-decade)
Very well put. ME3 gets a harsh ride in my book.
The end of a series always gets trashed. Fans just don't want to admit that something they like is coming to an end. That said Me3 suffers from choices that it should not have. Mainly the investment in other characters that you put into ME2 isn't rewarded in ME3. I absolutely hated how little time most of the ME2 cast got, especially Jack.
The ending for such a sprawling series was also underwhelming.
ME2 was the pinnacle imo.
This, also perhaps... ME2 is a contender, but not ME3. Not while stuff like The Witcher 2 & 3, Batman Arkham City/Knight, Telltale's TWD S1/The Wolf Among Us, Spec Ops The Line, Minecraft, Dark Souls, Nier Automata, Fallout New Vegas, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Doom, God of War, Red Dead Redemption, Outer Wilds and Undertale exist.
Of the games you listed, the only ones I've played are the Arkhams.
That's a pity, but, you do you.

That's a natural consequence of ME2's design, though. I don't think Bioware could justify investing even more of their limited development resources into characters that, depending on your choices, may have died in ME2's suicide mission.
That's why any ME4 that we get may only feature characters like Liara, Joker, Traynor and Vega: they're the only ones that
definitely survived.

I think I'll skip Minecraft.
I'm pretty sure they could've just canonized that the player had completed the loyalty missions and all the crew members survived. Especially since each character in ME2 has what is essentially another loyalty mission in ME3 anyways. All you would've needed to do was add mission dialogue and ship dialogue from that point on. They didn't need to add any new characters in ME3, and the only one that they did that was of interest was the Promethean who was a bonus DLC.
Whats done is done, but that direction was shit.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I
wanted my choices in ME2 (and ME1) to carry over to ME3. Am I alone in this?
I thought that was a major draw of the series. ???
It is a major draw of the series, sorry Jack.
I love that the choices carry over.
Granted I only had one instance where in ME2 I royally screwed the pooch by going through the relay to early and getting a lot of crew killed.
I had to load a previous save and do a lot over again.
I've never done a playthrough in which anyone from ME2 died and I had to play ME3 either without them or with their inferior substitutes (e.g. Wreav). Maybe I should.

There is always a canon storyline. Like where whats his nuts died in the first one and Ashley lived. That is the "official" storyline in which the EU media is derived from.
Edit: the recent google hits say otherwise, but I remember reading back when ME3 was released that they followed one overall storyline to derive all the things in the EU from (as there is no way to change books and shit to fit your characters choices in the games).
My point still stands though. The characters from ME2 all had moments/missions in ME3. They all had what amounted to loyalty missions, they all were at Shepards party, and they all played apart in the final mission. You simply needed to add dialogue variations for the different missions and points in time on the ship. Which they have done in EVERY ME game from the first to Andromeda. That is certainly not beyond their scope and is very much a design choice to focus back again on primarily the original ME crew.
The extended cut of ME3 helped it out considerably, but it still felt like a smack in the face for ME2 fans.
Quote from: Kimarhi on Jan 06, 2020, 12:08:58 AMThat is certainly not beyond their scope and is very much a design choice to focus back again on primarily the original ME crew.
With the exception of Liara and Ashley (or Kaiden), there were no definite surviving squadmates from ME1. Wrex could have died in ME1 while Tali and Garrus could have both died in ME2.
It was a bold choice for Bioware to allow for so many characters to die, but that's part of what made the trilogy great. It's just too bad they didn't release more ME3 DLC that would have given us more time with our favorite killable squadmates, but I suppose Citadel was the best they could do at the time.
C'mon man. Nobody killed those characters with exception of Kaiden/Ashley because it is required. Nobody is going to complete a playthrough with dead Tali or Garrus.
The third game definitely favors the original cast, since all but Kaiden (usually) is going to be there.
I know what you mean, but I can't fault Bioware for their creative decision in making our choices matter. It made the games extremely replayable, but they had to draw the line somewhere.
I'm actually surprised we got as much content as we did given ME3's review-bombing upon release.
I do wish Bioware had let us choose which characters from ME1 and ME2 we could take on our ship with us.
Me too. Or at least a booty call option for your chosen "romanceable" from the previous game. Jack would be down for that.
I had Jack, Grunt and Wrex in my mind in particular when I posted that. Jack because she was my preffered romance and her biotic powers were the best in combat imo. Wrex and Grunt because I liked the relationship they formed with Shepherd.
I use Grunt and Wrex as my squadmates in the Armax Arsenal Arena. It's almost unfair.

Yeah but it goes both ways. I love ME2 but kind of resented the way it sidelined most of your original squad to just cameos. Also a criminal waste of Admiral Anderson. I get they need to be sidelined somewhat for the sake of plot, but not to that extent.
Yeah, I remember there being Kaiden/Ashley fans who felt that ME2 cheated them. As I said, they had to draw the line somewhere.
Bioware probably could have given us another DLC like Lair of the Shadow Broker for Kaiden/Ashley fans, but there were only so many development resources they could put into ME2 before they had to move on.
The difference being that the original cast essentially got one more game.
I bet your Jack felt cheated because she couldn't get laid after the final battle like she wanted. Unless she moved on really fast, that is.

I don't think you fully get the Jack romance experience until you get the tattoo.
I loved Citadel for that, kind of made up for the lack luster talk with her at the end of the game.
I also loved the Volus pizza guy.

Happy N7 Day!
by Author -Casey Hudson - VP, Studio GM of BioWare - Posted onNovember 7, 2020
It's tough keeping a big secret (and we really struggled to keep this one a surprise) but now it's official: today we announced the Mass Effect Legendary Edition! We've heard (for years!) your requests for a Mass Effect remaster, so we're super happy to finally reveal that we've been working on a remastered edition of the Mass Effect trilogy.
(https://eaassets-a.akamaihd.net/blog.bioware.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MassEffect-LE_Key-Art_16x9_RGB-1024x576.jpg)
For many months now, our team at BioWare has been hard at work updating the textures, shaders, models, effects, and technical features of three enormous games. Our goal was not to remake or reimagine the original games, but to modernize the experience so that fans and new players can experience the original work in its best possible form. It's been amazing to see the adventures of Commander Shepard take on new life in super-sharp resolution, faster framerates, and beautiful visual enhancements. As game developers, we always hope that our games will transcend their original platforms. Having the opportunity to remaster the trilogy means that the fruits of a decade of our work will live on, and will be experienced better and clearer than ever before.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition will include single-player base content and DLC from Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3, plus promo weapons, armors, and packs – all remastered and optimized for 4k Ultra HD. It will be available in Spring 2021 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, with forward compatibility and targeted enhancements on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. More information to come in the new year!
Meanwhile here at BioWare, a veteran team has been hard at work envisioning the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe. We are in early stages on the project and can't say any more just yet, but we're looking forward to sharing our vision for where we'll be going next.
(https://eaassets-a.akamaihd.net/blog.bioware.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/mud-skipper-1024x515.jpg)
For me personally, Mass Effect represents years of work and countless special memories, so every year I feel incredibly fortunate to celebrate N7 Day with players around the world. Thank you so much for supporting us over the years. I can't wait to continue our adventure together – revisiting our favorite memories in the Mass Effect universe, and creating brand new ones!
Casey

Yes! Members of the original team are working on a new one!
They had my curiosity. but now they have my attention.
I think I might give this one a go. I tried the first many many years back but it was too stop-and-start for me at the time, reading everything, but I've been meaning to try again.
You wont regret it. The first game understandibly throws a lot of world building at you to begin with, but 3-4 hours in the game just clicks and from there get ready to experience one of the greatest video game journeys you will ever experience across three titles.
Except for parts of mass effect 3, I never even played this series for its gameplay. Since they're tweaking that, I'm curious of what it'll be like as an actual videogame for the first time. Sheperd, as a real boy, this could be good.
I've heard rumors that they may not include the multiplayer component in the ME3 remaster. That better not be true. ME3's MP is f**king awesome.
I thought it was confirmed there will not be multiplayer in the remaster. And yes, it was good as you say.
No confirmation that I've seen, just speculation.
https://gamerant.com/mass-effect-legendary-edition-multiplayer/
Oh, that's a good catch. I liked having banners for achievements, but I'm still not sure how to feel about the random reward aspect of the multiplayer, though. It seemed to make you play longer without making any part of the game tangibly better.
Were you on the global top ten leaderboard for ME3 MP?
No. Once upon a time I tied for first place in Saints row 2, and hit 10th on alien isolation. On the former, I was second to get every diversion star (72), and in the latter, I simply finished one of the dlc levels very quickly. What I consider a greater video game accomplishment than either, was getting a special vehicle in GTA san andreas that was previously thought to only be attainable through hacking. I never did publish a tutorial for that one, though. :-\
Why did you stop?
What kind of vehicle was it in San Andreas?

The Andromeda plane on the stowaway mission. This was back in '04 so I don't know if it was discovered and put online since then. It is big and white and has a little ramp in the back that is controllable. Basically, you use the destroy all vehicles cheat when the mission starts and you're on the bike. Then, you use the fast time/fast motion cheat, then cars fly cheat, then spawn a tank and quickly ram the destroyed plane into the hangar. It has to be forced in, like really hard and not just half-hanging out. It will be about 80% of the way in when it's ready. Once that's done, you run into the building with the save icon nearby, save, then load the game you just saved. This is the only way to get the hanger to repair the plane, as it will not close and do it's thing any other way. You'll have to use the indestructible vehicle cheat or or repair vehicle cheat everytime you fly the plane, since taking it out of the hanger damages it a little each time.
Unfortunately, it is not the big ramp plane you see when you drive the bike into the back and go on foot in it.

I assume you don't play if you don't like them anymore.
Oh, I didn't catch that and should have said back when I was into games. I still beat around the bush with them, but don't see them as exceptionally fun anymore. What happened was burn out; I basically felt I had done everything worthwhile in the genres of game that interested me. I was a 90's to early 2010's player, but they just sort of stagnated. I suppose they'd be cool still to people that are new to them, but to these eyes, very little in the way of worthwhile new features or improvements are being made. I need tech to essentially progress impossibly fast to take up my old hobbies.

Looks like they're canonizing the Destroy ending to ME3.
It'll be interesting to see how they do it without Casey Hudson.

I wonder if the remaster will change ME3's ending.
Yes exactly my meaning.
Quote from: Fiendishly Inventive on Dec 11, 2020, 10:12:08 PM
Yes exactly my meaning.
Do you think maybe Casey Hudson rage-quit BioWare because they're changing the ending of ME3 in the remaster against his wishes to make way for a true ME4?
I do.
While I suspect the ending of ME3 is going to remain the same in the remaster, I do think (hope) there's the possibility that it might allow for saves to be transferred over into what's looking like it's really, actually, finally, going to be "Mass Effect 4."
If it did end up changing the ending to undo what ME3 did and lead into this game though, I'd be 100% for it. And I won't lie, the thought did cross my mind as to that maybe having something to do with Casey Hudson's departure too (though the Dragon Age lead going at the same time makes me think it's more likely an "EA/working conditions" thing, but I guess we'll probably never know).
I bought the DLC for Mass Effect 3 years ago when it went on sale, but could never bring myself to actually go back to it after that ending. Then last month, in the run-up to the PS5's release and needing to move a console to make room, I finally got round to playing them. This was before the remaster was officially confirmed (even though we all knew it was coming), before the concept art and confirmation of a new game. And after playing those DLC's (especially Citadel) and remembering just how great those characters were, how great that universe was, how good that writing could be (at its best), and just considering where Bioware and the Mass Effect series were both at right now, I felt like the absolute best possible thing they could do would be what it looks like they might actually, really be doing.
The truth is that the Bioware name has taken a hit in recent years, and so has Mass Effect's. With regards to the former, Dragon Age 2 was the start of it, but they were still riding high. Then Mass Effect 3's ending happened and that was a disaster. That was where things really started to go downhill for them. Then a few years later both Andromeda and Anthem proved to be huge duds, with Dragon Age Inquisition being the only thing they've put out at all recently that wasn't torn to shreds.
At this point Bioware can't just rely on brand names, either theirs or Mass Effect's, to get people excited in the same way that they used to. If Andromeda had been a hit they could maybe have done a follow-up, or had another new, unrelated Mass Effect game that people could have been excited for because they'd still have been riding high on that series. But at this point, if they'd announced a "new, unrelated Mass Effect", that just wouldn't have cut it. People just wouldn't have been excited about that anymore.
So what's the one thing they would be excited about? The one thing they now are excited about? The one thing that they'd be hopeful for, even knowing the Bioware of today may no longer be the Bioware of yester-year? Bringing back the old squad mates. Going back to the Milky Way post-ME3. Potentially undoing that ending. And bringing back Shepard.
Whether or not that's what's actually what's going to happen we don't yet know, but that trailer damn sure as hell made out like it was, and that alone is enough to get more more excited and hopeful about Mass Effect than I have been in over 8 years.
Certainly as with anything, there are many ways it could still turn out to be a disappointment. There are theories going around that it might be set hundreds of years after ME3 with Liara being the only returning squad mate, based on how long asari usually live for, with everyone else bar maybe Grunt potentially being dead and gone. And if that's the case then I'd wonder why they were even bothering with all this, going back to a post-ME3 timeline, teasing an original, returning squad mate etc. in the first place.
But that trailer gave me hope. It gave me something I'd always hoped for but never thought we'd ever actually see. So right now I'm going to sure as hell roll with that and hope that this game is going to do what this trailer implies it is; the return of familiar faces, old friends, and the next Mass Effect game I've been hoping against hope for since the end of 3.
They could always expand the ending of ME3 (again) without actually changing it.
Or maybe they'll reveal that the Indoctrination Theory was true all along. :o
I'm excited but wary. Of course Id love to see the original characters return but outside of fan service, is it really worth it?
I thought Andromeda was a really clever set up by essentially rebooting the series and leaving the events and ultimate outcome of the original triogy ambiguous. It's a shame the characters and enemies and story did not live up to the originals.
After the Reapers - literal doomsday machines intent on wiping out all organic life in the galaxy, how can any enemy successor ultimately compare?
Bioware have got a very tricky road ahead with this but I wish them every success.
Given the trailer, id like to think that with huge Reaper wreckage still lying around this wont be set hundreds of years after ME3.
Andromeda didn't bother me really at all, but give me original ME all day ERY DAY BABY.

No multiplayer confirmed. Sorry EA, you just cost yourself at least one sale.
I think it looks great. I for one am glad they focused all their energies into the single player experience because the ME trilogy is probably one of the greatest single player video gaming experiences of all time.
I'm glad you're happy, but I played a lot of ME3 multiplayer back in the day so this is basically a crippled version of the game I wanted.
Yea, I myself put a lot of time into the multiplayer with my old comrades, those were the days.
I wouldn't even care about the microtransactions if they included multiplayer. I'm kinda surprised EA doesn't want it just for that.
I reckon it's 2008 all over again, EA's trying to clean up it's image.
I hope they release it as DLC then, but I won't hold my breath. I ain't buying it again just for the single-player.
I'm waiting patiently for the verdict come release.
I will buy the f**k out of it.
I never played the MP so if it was included in this go around it would've just been a bonus for what I really wanted. DAT SP.
Maybe I'll stream it.
I usually hate MP, but ME3's "galactic readiness" manipulated me into dipping my toes in. Then I was hooked.
I did forget the MP was tied into the SP. It kept me from getting all the fleets together for the finale of the game. Will be curious to see how they get around that.
Btw speaking of the ME3 MP which I loved SOOOOO much, recently I tried this Outrides game which was advertised to me as ME3 MP clone and it only made me reinstall ME3 for the good ol days just to find out its MP is fully alive and I can find games in like 2-3 sec on all difficulties. Amazing! So if anyone wants to play some ME3 MP - its still alive and kicking! ;)
I was just looking for news about this yesterday, so this is good timing. I think appreciation for the art in this alone is worth a purchase, but I worry that gaming pcs or parts won't be a good value anytime soon, and I need a new rig desperately. My fastest Graphics card literally has ATI on it. :-[
Is this still using the unreal 3 engine? [Edit-just confirmed for myself it is]
It looks to be that way, but maybe that's no longer important, but I cannot approve of the new mass effect using this and I don't think it will be.

Sounds like it's for all 3 games, and only where you're able to pause the game.
Beautiful... Oh f**king memories... I should stop getting nostalgic at everything nowadays, shit ! :laugh:
It'll be released a week from Friday. Who's getting it?
I am. Cannot wait. Ive just finished Resident Evil Village so to get this aswell in the next few weeks is an amazing treat.
When I own a Series X to play it on.
What's the holdup?
I'll be getting it. Pretty solid three weeks of gaming. Returnal, RE Village, ME remaster trilogy.
Enough to make ol willie hard.
Gonna be an engineer this time?
The availability.

I've never played as one, so maybe I'll give it a go. Hopefully it is better than the real engineer class.
I say that now, but I'll probably default to Vanguard like I always do.
That's surprising.
Who bought it?
I've got it but only finished the first mission before going back and beating REVIII.
Then all that shit happened with my truck and ruined what should've been an enjoyable gaming weekend. :(
Personally ME is my least favorite game (I didn't relaly start liking it even till the last quarter of the game on my first playthrough) but it does play a little smoother from the first time I played it. I tried to modify my guy and made him look like a total Chad, so I see him running around looking distracting as a muddaf**ka.
Who will Chad Shepard romance this time?
I kind of say I'm going to do something different but I almost guarantee it will be Jack. Tortured wild women are my weakness.
Does that mean you'll remain chaste in the first game?
I usually mash Liara but then got to Jack in second.
I will probably end up with lewding Garrus.
I had a wild thing going with Ashley in 1 and 3. Good times. In 2 I was interested in trying something different with Tali'Zorah. Garrus I didn't dare, he was my best bud. One charming cat fellow though.
Ashley deserves to be just ash... on Virmire.
:laugh:
Reminds me of poor Kaidan :'(
Ashley "I can't tell the aliens from the animals." Williams
Haha yeah she was very bitchy sometimes. She shot Wrex in the back in my playthrough ???
f**king cringe.
He's actually the best, reload your damn save!
I know he becomes some sort of Krogan King afterwards, right ? Sitting on their throne and shit
I remember how Ashley was my first romance... but I wasn't even trying. I thought she was a bitch but I'd just be polite too, next thing you know we're getting it on in the scene but me the player am like "NOOOO I'M BEING FORCIBLY VIOLATED".
But the next games I'd be with the best waifu, Tali.
Also.

Got Andromeda for $8. Sank twelve hours into it so far.
Initial impression is that the game is not polished at all:
-Jittery/ twitchy animations, and inconsistent animation quality.
-Meshes going inside other meshes, mostly characters' upper arms going into torso. Major oversight there since 50% of gameplay it is visible.
-Enemies spawning inside structures-can kill you but you cant kill them.
-Character models for male and female humans, and all Asari, look strange, particularly the arms and shoulders. Not at all the shape of real people, reminds me of saints row 3 body types (eww).
-Character customization pretty much cut compared to first 3 games. The default faces for both genders look fine, but the rest...let's just say I do not want to look at them.
-Controls on 360 controller, configured by someone that doesn't play games, probable shoe size IQ.
-Game feels bloated, but not in a pure waste of time sense, like some games. I just don't think the pacing between meaningful events, or the density of excitement, is where it should be. I don't know if there is any replayability potential here, as I've already done long things that I do not care to go through again (reminds me of the first dragon age).
+Runs fine, has not crashed or had a game breaking bug.
If I eventually finish it, may comment further if I have anything to add.
I don't know how you managed to last twelve hours.
Played it for about 45 minutes last spring when I was laid off.
Seemed pretty terrible imo.

Andromeda actually is pretty funny to play through. Some of the dialogue options made me chuckle. I find it consistently more humorous than the original trilogy.
The scale just isn't as large as the original trilogy and it definitely was released VERY unpolished and the characters weren't as interesting.
But if you took ME1 just by itself and didn't include the whole trilogy, I think that you could argue that the OG crew is in a pretty similar place in their development as the Andromeda crew.
I think Andromeda gets more hate than it deserves because it is NOT ME original trilogy.
And I think ME3 gets more hate than it deserves because its the finale of the OT. I suspect both ratings for both games will increase once ME4, which is supposed to continue/reference the storylines for both the OT and Andromeda.
Fans are crazy judgemental when a fan favorite series comes to a close, or when the series goes in a different direction.
Something I understand, because I hate Prometheus.
Andromdeda didn't bother me as bad because I felt it had the same spirit overall.
Good post^^^
________________
Possible Andromeda spoilers
I am finding the NPC interaction and dialogue to mostly be a leap up compared to the first 3 games. But the side quest are stupid so far, mostly fetch this or that. Hey pathfinder, input the right settings on that VI, hey pathfinder, those civillians are protesting, pathfinder, this bug is eating the wiring...it's like people that didn't want to be there were writing these things into the game.
This being a role playing game, the degree of enthusiasm and hope expressed over life and progress is almost insipid, and I cannot relate. The characters are all functional and competent individuals, which creates contrast with my own life that is demoralizing. For having greatly expanded options to convey personality, there is no option to be a negative p.o.s. :)
To add to the list of complaints
-there is only one face for every Asari.
-Too many menus. Information vomit in about a dozen or so clusters scattered about.
-I think it's odd how there is already quite a bit of stuff that has happened by the time the main character gets involved. You would think they would be in on it all day one.
-300+ dialogue recordings of "so why did YOU come to andromeda?"
I think an interesting side quest would be maybe a young 40 year old asari is discovered to be an ardat yakshi, and you're tasked with handling that.
It's been a while since I played but I remember the sidequest being Witcher 3 and FF7R bad in some places. Witcher 3 had some good sidequest, but FF7 Remake almost all were consistently bad.

(https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ABxs2mSqKhytYyBgPAK9TE.jpg)
A proper Mass Effect 4 with the return of Shepard and the main squad mates is what the series, and frankly Bioware at this point, needs. I'd pre-order that in a heartbeat if they announced that's what they were doing.
But if they're just going to end up setting it hundreds of years after ME3 though with a "clean slate", totally new cast except for maybe Liara because Asari have really long lifespans, then I'm just going to be ignoring it like I did with Andromeda and simultaneously letting out another deep sigh that they missed the best chance they'll ever have to right the ship.
That and them
not bringing back Shepard after that teaser is just going to be yet another massive case of "what are we even doing here then?"
It would be so easy for them to bring Shepard back. They already did it once and made it key plot point in ME2.
I am playing ME3 now and loving it but Mac Walters' no Drew Karpyshyn, it's nowhere near as tightly written as ME2 and ME1 and clearly quite rushed, but features the best crafted gameplay and major events of the series- but that ending's the real honest kicker because no matter how much you change anything with modifications of any kind it will always feel unfulfilling because of the logical fallacy inherent in the premise of the choices presented to you.
But unlike a recently butchered ongoing fantasy phenomenon, Mass Effect still can continue on, and right the wrongs of the way things concluded previously, and in so many various ways.
Particularly a return to the more fleshed out roleplaying of the original Mass Effect I like the idea of immensely, with an older and wiser Shepard, that you can use the last Trilogy's events as the new background and physiological profile for.
And you can finish off the Reaper threat for real through the Leviathan narrative, or take a simpler premise onboard, or make it a space western in the vein of The Mandalorian- so many possibilities and opportunities frankly.
It's make or break for Bioware and must be as good as the originals if not surpass them. That's in the Singleplayer narrative chiefly. Oh and add the Multiplayer to the Legendary Edition for God's sake!
Playing ME3 multiplayer enhanced the single-player experience for me. It felt like I was seeing glimpses of the larger war as I fought in different theaters as a nobody.
I think it is obvious that they are going to bring back shepard.
I also think it is obvious that they will include Andromeda in some form or fashion. The glowing centers of each universe are like the system select on the galaxy world map. You might not be able to travel to each of them, but I find it likely they will progress both storylines.
I actually think that works the best. You don't actually ignore Andromeda, and have it advance the plot of Shepard.
How do you think they'll work around the ending then?
Did they ever decide witch ME3 ending was canon?
Conveniently having the planet healing tech in Andromeda could play an easy out for Milky Way.
As I was unable to endure even a single playthrough of Andromeda, I have no idea to what you're referring.

I think I'm going to be in the same boat. haha
Anyway it's got to be retconned for them to even begin making a story that people will find compelling no matter what ending you ultimately chose, each's a divergence so far from the other that it is impossible to account for each, I'm interested to see what will be done.
Did they ever find the body of Shepard's clone?
If it's relatively intact, maybe Liara (and Miranda, if she survived) could revive Project Lazarus. Then it may only be a matter of transferring the real Shepard's consciousness from either his/her original body in the red ending or from wherever it was uploaded to when his/her body disintegrated in the blue ending.
The green ending can go to hell.

^^ All of this.
And yeah the teaser for the next game implied the "destroy" ending is going to be used as canon (it's the only one that leaves Reaper corpses laying around that we see Liara climbing on), which is about the best thing they can do aside from giving us a better one. It's the closest thing to a choice that
some Shepards might actually pick, it destroys the Reapers which has always been the main goal from the get-go, and it's the only ending where Shepard actually survives.
It's also generally considered the fan favourite ending (despite "synthesis" being positioned as the "best") for all those reasons, so if they're going to pick one to make canon that's the one it should be (yeah it sucks it probably means the Geth are wiped out, but they could easily retcon that anyway).
Wasn't Synthesis actually the outcome that the Reapers desired?
Essentially. And Saren. Yet another reason why it's bad.
I also fundamentally say "f**k you" to the idea that life's fundamentally broken and a change must be forced upon it without anyone's consent, from the mind of the Reapers, who we have already proven to that organics and synthetics can co-exist.
But it ignores that completely because if it acknowledged that fact it must acknowledge that their own solution must have always made no sense.
Because it is egotistical.
And ignores the fact that organic life's just as capable of destroying itself irrevocably as anything.
It cites that synthetics will always turn against organics and uses their own enforced existence as proof of this eventuality, but in prior cycles it destroyed the already beneficially symbiotic Zha and Zha'til that most resembles Synthesis but a consentual one between organic and synthetic beings, that the Reapers then exploited to turn them into the most horrifying of servants so much so that the Protheans intentionally had to make their star go supernova to wipe them out.
In fact as we also know, the Quarians turn on the Geth, not the other way around so, the only recorded instance of synthetics turning on their organics actually ends up being the Catalyst turning on the Leviathans.
If you go by the history, either due to the Reapers themselves or the Leviathans' presence, Synthesis' got the potential to doom the milky way with no chance of recourse.
Control can lead to the whole thing repeating itself over.
Only Destroy and even Refusal will guarantee a future without the Catalyst's broken logic ruling over life in this galaxy.
Yup. And the fact that you can't even mention that you've (or at least can, depending on your playthrough) brought peace to the Geth and Quarians, thus proving the argument that "synthetics and organics cannot live in peace" is fundamentally untrue, is yet another example of why the ending of ME3 is just bad on multiple fronts.
There are literally fleets of synthetics who have joined forces with organics to fight against the Reapers as you're talking to the star child right there and then, and you can't even bring it up.
And yeah, just the whole idea of "synthesis" fundamentally flies in the face of one of the biggest themes of the series to me. You have three games where you see that despite all the differences between the various races of the galaxy, you're all stronger together, united. That diversity is a good thing. Your differences make you unique. Even Cerberus, the pro-human supremacists, have to admit that in ME2 with half the members of the team they tell you to assemble.
In every game it's a multi-species team that ends up saving the day, and in the end, the galaxy. And then synthesis comes along and makes everyone the same. It'd be like having a movie about people of different racial backgrounds struggling to get along, and then the "happy ending" is that everyone gets turned into a white guy.
The whole thing is just so busted on so many levels that one of the reasons I'm both hopeful and surprised they're actually making some sort of follow-up is that it can't help but retcon some of this mess away (I mean there's no way in hell synthesis is going to be made canon; talking to people with green Matrix code running down their bodies for an entire game would get real old real fast).
Agreed must be a straight up Mass Effect 4 or it is done for.
Visiting this thread is like seeing ancient Greek philosophers arguing over life's greatest mysteries.
I'll just leave this here:

If they bring back ME3 multiplayer, you should get back into it.
The reason I haven't even touched the legendary edition is because I know what it still leads to in the end.
I'll just let memories suffice, remembering not how the experience died but rather how it lived.

Also I've never seen KLK before as I've been reluctant, on the one hand the bloopers (English) on youtube recommendations gave me a good laugh but on the other hand it looks like something I'd only maybe watch once at the least and then never say a word about it with anyone outside of the circle,
guilty pleasure territory.
Also Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is higher up on the watch list.
It's good! But really I'm surprised you didn't watch it, Jesus Christ, nearly nine years ago now it started airing with the old crew.
Well I only really got into anime in general maybe 3 years ago roughly, Girls und Panzer to be specific, that was the only show for a while and things didn't take off until I finally went on a whole marathon of new shows in the first lockdown of 2020, Girls und Panzer credited with being the "gateway" (which is apparently how others have started out too).
I managed to get a Series X and this game runs like butta on it.
It is pretty good on PS5 as well.

Feeling nostalgic?
How did you know?
Was ME as much a part of your formative years as KOTOR?
Absolutely yeah.
I'll give it a look.
Perhaps you should do another playthrough and kill Wrex this time.

The only one I actually killed without really realizing at the time how the dialogue options worked was Zaeed. I let him burn to death thinking it was going to give me an option to call his bluff (ME2 was the first one I played and I didn't know how paragon/renegade worked), and then again I didn't know how his loyalty mission worked, so when I redid the mission to keep him alive, I waited too long, paragoned it, and he died on the suicide mission.
Needless to say, this was not acceptable.
Absolutely unacceptable.
Just do everything before the IFF's my motto. Similar thing with Priority Missions also.
Here's hoping.

They should just go ahead and make him a villain in ME4.
I didnt like his limited range loadout more than anything else.

How are the Mass Effect books?
I read one maybe a decade ago about Anderson during his attempted Spectre years and found it to be pretty flat and boring.
It essentially reads like almost every other media tie in novel with an author who is just putting in minimal work to cash in a paycheck, or intentionally limited by what he could write by the studio in the universe.
Aliens novelizations have more than a few of this instance, especially novels between Bantam and the new novels.
Yeah, and it's sometimes the same group of authors who do these. The same names popping up in Star Wars, Aliens, Terminator, Starcraft, etc.
And some of those are better than others. S.D. Perry is probably my favorite old EU author, simply because her adaptations of the comics were better at making her characters feel like real people. Berserker is much better than the comic for this reason.
She also has the only DH Press novel I can stand to read.
I think they have hired better writers with the new EU stuff, at least for the novel side overall, but so much of it has subject matter I don't care about because of the Prometheus influence. But authors like White make the best of what they are given. Charybdis is very good. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Quote from: Wweyland on Mar 24, 2024, 01:54:05 PMHow are the Mass Effect books?
The first three books were written by Drew Karpyshyn. He certainly wasnt in it just for a cheap pay cheque because he was the lead writer for Mass Effect 1 and 2.
It's been years since I read them but the first one is the Saren/Anderson prequel that is referenced quite heavily in the original game. The second two focus more on Cerberus.
The forth, Deception, was written by William Dietz and was heavily criticised for having many lore and continuity errors, so much so bioware promised any future reprint would be edited. But no reprint ever came I dont think.
I think the drew one is the one I read if it was Anderson and his girlfriend vs Saren. It was pretty flat and boring imo. But in that case I think Drew probably was either overexposed to the series and tired of working on it OR perhaps is a better screenwriter than novelist.
I've never read anything else by him, so I can't say for sure.
I hear his Revan novel is excellent.
lol
