Mass Effect 3

[BladeTwinSwords]

I really do wish this game was going to NOT be released on Origin.

[maynard]

origin sucks... on the plus side you could always just torrent it if you're uber against origin.

Sadly you HAVE to register the game on Origin.

[maynard]

I 100% guarantee there will be a torrent for it lol.

[Steamer]

I 200% guarantee this comment above me is true. Crack*

[Chikun]

Origins needs the decade long development that steam has. There once was a time when steam blew ass.

lies. Steam had CSS, so in short... Steam was always a fucking rock star!

[Chikun]

lies. Steam had CSS, so in short... Steam was always a fucking rock star!

I'm referring to the renaissance/darkage of CS (depending on your point of view) when steam friends never worked.

I'm with-holding my official judgement of Origins till a full 2 years pass or unless things go seriously downhill.

[Sin]

Origin has more than STEAM had when it first came out. STEAM was shit. It launched with CS 1.6 and a friends system that rarely worked, a server system that draaaaagged when downloading. I remember people actually went and bundled STEAM with CS1.6 to spare people the hassle of having to download the game through the client. Lol

My experience with Origin has been nothing but good. Download speeds are phenomenal, friends system works, they update frequently, the only downside right now is that I can't change my name whenever I want. :(

Back on topic, I'll definitely be picking ME3 up on PC. I love this series.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Is mass effect 3 a game I can jump right into with out ever playing 1and 2
????

[maynard]

steam was a new concept when it came out, origin isn't... so origin having more games than steam did when it launched is well... not really all that impressive.

[Xerenix]

Pre-ordered CE edition of this game as i've done with all Bioware games. Never been disappointed before by the previous games.

Don't really care if it uses Origin or not since i have no problems with using it.

Probably. I know Mass Effect 2 had a DLC/Feature when it was later released to Xbox360 that explained the story so far from Mass Effect in a Comic style way and gave you the options to choose the story influencing choices from the first game to implent your own story into ME2.

It's a real shame that you haven't played both of them tho since they are such great games.

[BladeTwinSwords]

Is mass effect 3 a game I can jump right into with out ever playing 1and 2

You can but it affects choices you made in the first and second games. Most of the time it will give you the worst of the choices if you did not play them. It also affects romances if you decide to give a fuck.

I will be ordering the CE simply because I want to see how the game ends.

[Sin]

I never said Origin having more games than STEAM when it came out mattered any. I simply said "more".

I just don't see the problem with Origin aside from it being just "another platform", which in itself is a lame argument. If the issue is the way DICE handled BF3 with their battlelog feature, it had nothing to do with Origin.

I mean it can't even come down to preference, or the fact EA requires their games to be registered through Origin. DRM is DRM and it will only get worse with piracy over the years. It's just like Microsoft requiring their games be played through Windows Live... now THAT is fucking annoying. I don't enjoy having to sign in before I can start beating The Joker and all his henchmen's asses.

On Topic: I could never get through the first ME cuz it was boring as fuck, but the 2nd was amazing.

[Xerenix]

The ME3 Demo is available now on PC Origin and 360!


My impressions of the demo is that the first mission in the SP was very emotional and that Multiplayer is way too addictive even with having just 2 maps and one enemy type.

Can't wait for the game to be released!

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Ok blade, ill try this demo. If I like it ill invest in it. Mass effect 2 is not 5$ anymore liar.

Awesome new CG trailer

[Curdy]

those fucking reapers fucked london up.....

Time to go fucking churchill on them!!!

[BladeTwinSwords]

Beat the game. Here are my thoughts.

Graphics: Good
Atmosphere: Great
Dialogue: Hit or Miss
Character Development: Superb
Combat: Good
Difficulty: Meh
Controls: Agitating
Story: Full of plotholes but ok
Ending: Disheartening

The ending really does ruin the experience of the game.

[maynard]

..... O_o

[KɅΞW]

The end was just...

I'm starting to hate Bioware

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Stfu you spoilers. I'm not even done with me2

[Chikun]

God damn I stayed up till 4 AM just to watch that garbage ending.

I should have been given the option of desecrating Kai Leng's corpse. Fucking ballsucker.

I mad.

[maynard]

if you're going 2 give spoilers, say fucking SPOILERS!!!!.... have some respect for people who didn't have 20 hours 2 play it strait...

[blackmail242]

does this hold relevance? http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

With out giving any spoilers what romance route benefits the most from me2 into me3.

[Chikun]

Tali, <3

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Tali, <3 I don't like the idea of marrying some birch who will live 200 years longer then me. Besides, do aliens even have vaginas?

[BladeTwinSwords]

I don't like the idea of marrying some birch who will live 200 years longer then me. Besides, do aliens even have vaginas?

Quarians don't live for that long.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Quarians don't live for that long.

Oh yea you are right. Tali is the one that relies on a breathing apparatus and chain link hood. It's the blue people who live as long as vampires. At any rate.. miranda has some wicked camel toe, and im afraid to commit to the cutesy Kelly. Decisions decisions.

[maynard]

quarians have like fuck all for immune systems, which is why they wear the shit they do... it's explained in ME2 if you choose 2 bang tali.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

quarians have like fuck all for immune systems, which is why they wear the shit they do... it's explained in ME2 if you choose 2 bang tali.. Thank you for the info. As I wouldn't have choose her any ways. How am I supposed to get pixel blow jobs from a chick who wears a 1980 style mc microphone on her face.

[maynard]

she takes her mask off ^^

[BladeTwinSwords]

Not to mention that she is made of a completely different proteins meaning a possible allergic reaction if you fuck her.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

she takes her mask off ^^ ohhhh saucy!


Pretty sure I'm going to go with kelly! Mirandas teeth are all jacked the fuck up and she has a hard core lazy eye.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

Not to mention that she is made of a completely different proteins meaning a possible allergic reaction if you fuck her.

dextro-amino acids i think


ohhhh saucy!


Pretty sure I'm going to go with kelly! Mirandas teeth are all jacked the fuck up and she has a hard core lazy eye.

i'm pretty sure you can screw kelly and it won't effect anyone else

[Chikun]

You don't screw her she just does a sexy dance.

[BladeTwinSwords]

ohhhh saucy!


Pretty sure I'm going to go with kelly! Mirandas teeth are all jacked the fuck up and she has a hard core lazy eye.

No Kelly is my dirty secretary

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

You don't screw her she just does a sexy dance. but is said sexy dance more then what you visually get if you bang, say... Miranda?


Also can someone confirm acos comment about Kelly not being a romance story and just a fling? Or is Kelly someone to marry into the next game.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------


No Kelly is my dirty secretary then she is cheating on you. I get my rocks off every time I here "you have new messages at your private terminal commander"

[KɅΞW]

Miranda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO2fEaz3DbE)

That is all

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Miranda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO2fEaz3DbE)

That is all

Hot Damn, the only thing different between her and miranda is that she didnt have butt fuck ugly teeth, blonde hair, and no eye that randomly decides to drift off in random directions when having sexy conversations.

[Xerenix]

Just finished the game and i loved it altho the ending wasn't that great but it was acceptable.

The Normandy really felt alive in ME3 compared to the other games with all the characters moving around the ship and talking with each other through the comms instead of the usual "Everyone stay in there rooms the entire time while being silent" and seeing some companions drunk almost made me fall off the chair. A drunk Tali with her "Emergency Injection Straw... err i mean Port" was just hilarious and laughed so much with the usual conversations with Joker and EDI.

Gonna start a character from ME again and play it through the games to see the differences.

[maynard]

I should have ME3 done tonight... after that ill be starting in ME1 again as an infiltrator and working my way up through the series =p

[Xerenix]

ugh. My computer handles ME 2 and 3 at max graphics without any lag at all but with ME 1, i have most settings on normal yet i get such horrible lag and sound delay.

[maynard]

I noticed that ME1 runs a lot harder than 2 and 3 as well... kinda odd given 2 and 3 have far better graphics.

[Sin]

It's because ME1 wasn't really optimized for the PC. It was more of a direct from console port. BW actually TRIED with ME2 and 3.

There are some configging tricks to make gameplay smoother for ME1 though. Spread around the internet.

[maynard]

It's because ME1 wasn't really optimized for the PC.

true that as it was a 360 exclusive thing... forgot that it started on console.

[Curdy]

from start to nearing the end was great

then

the worse ending in gaming history

Oh my god I lost it at "All I wanted was to be with Tali at the end." So funny and true.

[maynard]

romance scenes with Tali suck.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Bioware is working with funimation to create an anime about Vega.....

[maynard]

but... he's so boring....

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

but... he's so boring.... Tribal tattoos are sexy!

[maynard]

yeah there about as cool as getting a skull.... or some Chinese symbols!

[Chikun]

Vega... Sounds like a pole dancer's name.

[blackmail242]

So a friend of mine who has been die hard following bioware for the mass effect series told me today that they are working on redoing the ending and releasing it with the patch to fix the transfer glitch on xbox. :/ I hope this is true

[maynard]

it will prob be a fucking DLC that's 800-1200 God damn points...

[Chikun]

It's free or I will get it for free. Either way BioCock isn't getting money from me to finish a game they should have done right the first time.

[maynard]

It's free or I will get it for free. Either way BioCock isn't getting money from me to finish a game they should have done right the first time.

oh I fully agree... but given they did a day 1 DLC.... it wouldn't surprise me.

[Chikun]

I wish they add a minigame during the fight in London where you drive an old car around shooting cannibals. Bonus points if there's a CD in the car that plays The Clash.

A man can dream...

[maynard]

Lol... I Wish ME3 had a lot of things.

Well I'm on to me3, with acceptable casualties. Lost Jack, thane, legion, and mordin. Jack was a nasty slur who conflicts with my romance choice, Thames was going to die anyways, legion was a bad choice from the get go, mordin was meh.

You have given meaning to mordins death...... Natural Selection.


Edit: my main goal for the suicide mission was to keep Garus and miranda alive at all costs. Everyone else except for Grunt, Sam, bodacious kelly, and tali were expendable.

Edit Edit: Jacob Taylor just wouldnt die.. i tried very hard to add a token black guy effect to my story. :/

does taking time between main missions to do other quests and upgrade gathering effect my story in any way?

[maynard]

your main story will still be shaped via your decisions you make on those missions and as you talk with your crew... but some of the side missions do have follow up content in the other games also.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

[maynard]

absolutely. I would suggest exploring everything. you find lots of interesting little things and side quests along the way.

Liara: a Spicy blue eyed alien id stick my wang in any day.

Unfortunately, i clicked the wrong dialog option when meeting with Miranda, initiating what i think is the romance? I have been reading up and i cant be Captain Kirk in ME3, can someone clarify when you are officaly "Stuck" with Miranda? Id hate to keep playing and have to revert to a save 6 hours ago.

[maynard]

you're not stuck with any 1 till you sleep with them. other chicks will tell you 2 break off what you have with the other person, and that after that they will basically be willing 2 fuck you.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

you're not stuck with any 1 till you sleep with them. other chicks will tell you 2 break off what you have with the other person, and that after that they will basically be willing 2 fuck you. I thought that was only possible in me 2. I'm worried as I just had a convoy with liara with a dialog choice of "i care about my friends bla h blah blah.". Think I'm friend zoned cause i told Miranda my feeling were the same when I first met with her at the citedal.

[maynard]

I got like right 2 the point of being able 2 bang miranda, and ended up going with tali. tali just told me 2 break it off with miranda first

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Meh checked my saves, only have three missions to redo. One being that God awful curing the genophage mission, you know... When it spawns 4 brutes on top of you while being shot at by a huge ass fucking reaper layzor. This games difficulty is much higher then mass effect two and the emotion the story oozes at points is haunting.

Im not angry, im not pissed off... im just disappointed. It is going to eat the fuck out of my brain tell this DLC comes out.

[brett friggin favre]

so i finally got around to playing this. i must honestly say i have no issue with the ending, at least the one i came to. i gotta say i really enjoyed playing through it, never before have i been so torn over decisions...in a goddamn video game. i thoroughly enjoyed the game. looking forward to me4 (which, yes, i hear has been confirmed).

[maynard]

I'm assuming you didn't play the first 2 games? cause if you did and the ending didn't bother you, I think you would be the first lol.

They re-released the ending a little while ago though, not sure which one you've done.

[brett friggin favre]

I'm assuming you didn't play the first 2 games? cause if you did and the ending didn't bother you, I think you would be the first lol.

They re-released the ending a little while ago though, not sure which one you've done.

i played about half of me1, all of me2. and i got the original ending, downloaded the game when it first came out, and nothing else. i was expecting some abysmally disappointing ending and yeah, some parts of it don't jive with me but when i consider the epic (and i mean FUCKING EPIC, like hundreds of thousands of years, maybe millions of years of history, being changed in that one moment) scale of what happened, i'm not surprised and not disappointed.

also i think it's a damn good lesson for life. you always have freedom of choice, but you can't bend the outcome to your will. ultimately you have to make sacrifices, and you might not end up where you expected. some things are out of your control, but you do still have a say in your own destiny.

[maynard]

that's the thing, all the endings do the same thing and show the same cut scene lol... only thing that changes is the color.

read up on everything they promised, then you should understand people's disappointment

[maynard]

nah, my boss loved it. he said there really was only one choice, and that was to destroy the reapers. he didn't even hesitate.

then he most likely didn't play the first 2, or know about what was actually promised.

if a game developer gets you to spend around 30 hours per game, where you build hardcore relationships with the in game characters and are always making massive decisions that impact everything... well.. when you're told all the shit we were supposed 2 get with the ending that didn't happen... well.. like I said... unless you didn't play the first 2, or know about what the ending was actually supposed 2 be, I find not being upset with it damn near impossible.

it's like someone offering you a bar of gold and giving you a copper coin.

if you judge the ending just on it's own merit.. .well.. meh it's ok... I gues... even though it's still incredibly bland and no matter what decision you make the exact same clips play lol... but if you look at the simple fact they promised us so much shit and didn't do any of it... well... fail.

literally the entire game community that support mas effect and loves it went fucking ape shit over the ending.. hence why they re-released it and admitted they fucked up.

well apparently mediocrity is his cup of tea, it's not mine... nor the mass majority of people who played the game.

if you liked it, great. but it's a joke in terms of what was promised and not delivered.

[brett friggin favre]

i think the tough part to swallow was that it was supposed to be the end of the series. talks are going on about another full game in the mass effect universe (presumably mass effect 4) and with that knowledge in mind, it's easier to take. speaking of which, i think they need a new soundtrack. i'm thinking daft punk, after the job they did with tron: legacy. cameo in a club...mmmm. a guy can dream...

though i feel like the reaper sounds were ripped from glitch mob songs so maybe it would be a nice touch to have them do it.

[Xerenix]

i think the tough part to swallow was that it was supposed to be the end of the series. talks are going on about another full game in the mass effect universe (presumably mass effect 4)

They have always said that Mass Effect 3 is the end of the Shepard story, not the end of Mass Effect.

[maynard]

I'm not gonna lie... gonna miss that mother fucker...

[Xerenix]

Feel the same.

In a sense, Shepard IS Mass effect but not playing as him has lots of good opportunites for ME4 tho. Imagine the First Contact War and kicking ass with Anderson or as a Turian. Or Both

[maynard]

our next character 2 fall in love with and put 100 hours of gameplay time into better be human... that's all I'm gonna say.

Also, as far as I'm aware, there's not going to be ME4... They may and probably will still do games within the ME universe, but ME was Shepard's story... And it's over. Then again, knowing EA...

Meh, just noticed that Xerenix said the same thing... But yeah, as far as I'm aware, he's correct.

yeah i have no problem with shepard dying off. you save the galaxy 3 times, eventually it just feels silly. gotta catch up to him sometime.

as to who the next protag will be, only guess i'd have would be the kid from the closing cutscene. or just someone entirely new. it would make sense because since that's in the future, another intergalactic transit system might be up and running. i haven't checked out the new ending from the dlc but based off the original ending, it'd be pretty hard to make another mass effect without the relays.

or, interesting concept, one of shepard's descendents. could be half asari or something if you're importing o.O

The next one could just be a prequel. Maybe giving more insight into the protheans and the other races/civilizations that were destroyed by the reapers. I think they'd have a hard time making another ME game to take place after ME3 since they'd have to make new baddies and the reapers would be hard to top. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't try anyways.

Also, I played all 3, loved all 3, and I still enjoyed the re-made ending to ME3. I refused to play ME3 before they redid the ending though. I think it's also worthwhile to go watch at least one of the ME3 indoctrination theory videos and their take on the "choices" you make at the end. AngryJoe has an indoctrination theory video even. I wouldn't recommend watching the entire 1.5 HOUR long indoctrination theory documentary though, that one was a bit too long.

I watched the whole thing. Furthermore, there's more than one version of it. (I haven't watched ALL versions). Imho, quite worth to watch the whole thing.
