Mass Effect 3

Try this: On a map that's not some tight corridors, play as the infiltrator and take two more snipers. Garrus with armor piercing and Legion (or Thane, if you don't have him) with his uber, no normal human can use, arm shattering, death rifle. (You should have the death rifle yourself by that point.) Then just take cover and blast motherfuckers.




In the midst of trying to keep entire civilizations from nuking one another, yea, I'm sure there will be some "come join me" shit going on.


By the way, I noticed the article didn't really say much about the Normandy. The third version better have EDI on it, since after the Normandy-Collector incident, I don't trust humans to be doing shit on my ship. Except Joker, he's my nigga. He and EDI are also the perfect "I'm bored with my marriage" couple.

EDI will be returning on the supposed SR3:



I will rage if she is turned into a Cortana though.

One problem this game could have is the weight of the choices you make in the game. In ME1 and ME2, you knew that whatever you decided to do would have an impact on what was going to happen in the next game. IT is going to be more challenging for a writer to make you feel that the decisions in this game carry the same importance since the consequences are going to have to be more evident since there is not going to be a ME4 or ME5 you are going to be worrying about.

A lot of people may have made the decision not to pursue a romance in number 2 since they didn't want to mess up their romance in number 3, but there is not going to be such weight placed on decisions this time since people will think, "Well, I'll just reload an older save." In contrast to ME 2, you would have to say, "Well, if I screw things up (e.g. Kill/Save the council) I'm going to have to play through the game again..."

I'm interested to see how the writers and game designers handle this problem and see if they are able to still make players sit and contemplate each decision for a couple of minutes.

I'm replying ME2 right now actually, just felt like it.

It's a shame a lot of the RPG-ness of 1 was gone from 2. Not as much leveling and skill placement, etc.

And I pissed off the Illusive Man too, no secret as to why he doesn't like me...

Definitely looking forward to this game.

Shit, I've been playing ME2 for the past month. IT NEVER GETS OLD! I also can't get Kelly to be my bitch. I talked about feeling her up, told her she's the hottest bitch in the galaxy, played Dragon Age with her up in my crib all night long, saved her ass from becoming terminator pudding, and then she does nothing. Cunt.

Speaking of the terminator, did anyone else find this shit creepy?

I just beat it again, and that was literally what I was thinking the entire time. It's not 'scary' per se, but it's definitely a creepy motherfucker if I ever saw one.

But my Cain took care of that. Nothing can stand up to that gun. It's like a giant easy button...

lol hell yeah its creepy, I wanted Kelly to be my bitch to >:O if you did all of that then did you use you're private computer in your room? You cant be with any other chick either :[

Arghhh all of the lost posts

Anyway, same sex relationships confirmed - http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/116/1168458p1.html

For the love of God, Bioware, let Fem Shep x Tali happen. You owe us that much.

Edit:

We now have a gameplay trailer.



Why is it that I just now find out that the glowing thing on my arm that I've been using to hack Geth and mechs for the last two games could've been used to STAB people? And here I've been, wasting ammo, shooting my enemies in the face.

While I'm sure most of us have already seen this, GameTrailers.com has most, if not all ME3 videos from E3

And it's glorious.

The combat system looks a lot like 2's, only upgraded, which is nice since I preferred it to 1. I am still wondering if you'll be able to crouch though.

Indeed. I can't for this. As much as I love the series, it is about time to wrap this up. I just hope EA doesn't beat a dead horse by trying to make a side story/series or a multiplayer game around this like the rumors have been stating.

IT HAS CO OP <3

Yeah, saw the sad news as well... I guess I can live with it, as long as we get the usual awesome story.

Bah! God damn sellouts. Not everything has to have some form of a multiplayer component. -_-

IT's optional. You don't have to do it.

I want to know if EA forced this or if Bioware said "Let's go ahead and do this"

Wait. Are you guys honestly complaining about co-op multiplayer? I'm sorry, but I don't see how that can possibly be a bad thing. Forcing in competitive multiplayer would serve as enough of a reason for concern, sure, but I have yet to hear of a co-op mode being done in a way that it could negatively effect the quality of the game.

I just don't see much point in introducing this in the third game, nor do I have any real interest in it. The fact also remains that while optional, according to the article it does make it easier for you to get a more favorable outcome if you use this feature. Wouldn't mind it as much if this wasn't the case. The way it's done (only for a few missions instead of the whole game) is quite a weird solution as well. At least in earlier BioWare games it's been available for the whole game, if at all.

I honestly don't see any downsides to this. And the fact that it makes it easier is kinda moot imo. It's optional. You don't have to do it the easy way. Plus I think your going to be playing the other armies perspective of the big ass wtf battle. That in itself is awesome.

Sounds a bit better now that BioWare has explained it a bit more.
