Mass Effect

[Predator Queen]

Tali, Garrus, and Liara. As squadmates, at least. All of the others from Mass Effect 2 will appear in the story at one point or another, however as an aid to Shepard in some form.

So, no Thane for my squad?    That...is...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

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.

[Space Sweeper]

He's still not confirmed, noone else is.

[Prime113]

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.

[Vakarian]

f**k yes!

[Prime113]

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.

And according to Biowares store

These products contain codes that can be redeemed for a downloadable content pack for Mass Effect 3 multi-player. They are slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters. The pack could also include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multi-player squad stronger. (Only supported on XBox360 and PC.)

This actually annoys me. The figures are what was the second series of figures in DC Direct's line. 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. Once again, brick and mortar retailers get cut out of something that, due to the DLC, a lot of people are gonna want.

The dlc being a North American exclusive will likely turn a few potential buyers off getting these, so this second wave failing may not be too unexpected.

I wonder why Bioware took that dlc info off their site.

Thought this was a pretty cool movie style poster:

Must... resist... urge to post... picture of broken bicycle...

I can't say I like that poster at all. It doesn't convey any of the things that are unique about 'Mass Effect'.

[Prime113]

I thought the giant ass reaper was pretty damn unique.

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.

[Prime113]

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?

Don't worry about it, it wasn't dickish at all. Here it is.



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:

[Prime113]

Yeah, man, I agree. That is a very good poster. It does really capture everything about Mass Effect.
