Storyline no, gameplay yes.
[QUOTE=KorJax;34794553]All this Mass Effect-ness makes me want to replay ME2 with the Paragon character I planned on doing but never did. Or rather ME1, which I never ended up playing because I knew the storyline and the gameplay looked so much worse compaired to ME2 (and I heard it was too).[/QUOTE] You should really just give it a shot, you might end up liking it.

Yes it was worse admittedly. Story/feel of the universe, definitely no. What I remember most about ME1 was the music. It felt way more scifi-ish than ME2 and helped make the whole game feel that way. Also, playing through ME1 again made me remember the hilarious skintight onesie pajama armor.
Sometimes you gotta look fabulous~ defeating a race of sentient machines intent on the eradication of organic life.
Right, I have a good two and a half weeks. I do WANT to replay ME1 and ME2 before ME3 again, trying to remember what decision I made but it feels like it will be a grind, like i'll try to rush through it. Seeing as I last played these a year ago, I could try and remember who I killed, etc.. should that be my final save for ME3 or just playthrough to refresh memory, but use original save a year ago for the new game? Decisions decisions v:v:v

So I recorded my Asari Adept match and... [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/MassEffect/Images/noope.jpg[/img] :suicide: VirtualDub is not being my friend either: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/MassEffect/Images/noope1.jpg[/img] :suicide:
[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;34794506]You be quiet I'm running around as an adept with just a Carnifex with a scope and heavy barrel and raping everything with that and warp.[/QUOTE] I love the thing too, but I'm a Krogan that just smashes the fuck out of everything. I only use the Carnifex when I need to defend an objective or when I encounter a couple of Guardians, to which then they reach their demise with a bullet through the slit of their shield. Thus results in their heads exploding.
So I go to the store and buy myself a Veteran pack in hopes of unlocking a new character. The system goes full retard and doesn't process my purchase. Worst thing of all, it doesn't refund me my credits. A good match's earnings gone to waste..
You know Origin is pretty good if I never ever compare it to Steam in any way. Or GOG for that matter. Kind of like how mcdonalds is pretty good if I never ever compare it to real food
Why is my game crashing all of the sudden.

It will be.
Why is it that I can run Human Revolution fine, but when I play mass effect I can't hear what anyone is saying and everyone looks like they lost a fight with a demonic waffle grid?
[QUOTE=KorJax;34795444]Geeze what did you do record at 1920x1200 uncompressed?[/QUOTE] Nope, 1280x720/60fps uncompressed on fraps, compressing at quality 7 on Xivd plugin.
You guys need to stop getting annoyed that you don't get something good in every pack.. it's about luck. I play FIFA Ultimate Team which is another EA thing like this where you open packs, except because of how big it is you can use real money. If you got something great in EVERY pack, it would get boring. Yes, it would if you got nothing, but nothing beats the thrill of finally getting something after trying for ages.

I recorded at my native resolution - 1680x1050 but the video cuts off or has border when I render at 1280x720. Now I do video editing, but i'm guessing I would have to play and record at 1280x720? Unless I get a monitor that supports 1920x1080 so I can record and render at 1080.
1680x1050 isn't a 16:9 resolution. 320, 480, 720, and 1080 is. That's why you're getting borders and video cut-off. [editline]20th February 2012[/editline] Record in windowed mode at 1280x720 for it to render properly.
Terrible, just terrible. If their servers are down we can't even access the store or play our games.

Now it says please choose a valid cache foldier, what.
Oh wow 1.07GB file when compressed, gonna convert to mp4 and try to upload somewhere.
[QUOTE=guicool-BR-;34795789]Exactly what I did.[/QUOTE] I was directing my comment to Mr. Agree's question.
Beat my first gold match. Never seen so many Atlas and Phantoms at once. My Asari adept kept the team alive, kept spamming stasis and using warp/throw biotic explosions.
[QUOTE=Koolguy11;34796058]Beat my first gold match. Never seen so many Atlas and Phantoms at once.

Definitely a strategy I'll try in the future.

I forgot, but its around 60,000.
[QUOTE=Koolguy11;34796125]I forgot, but its around 60,000.[/QUOTE] Huh, Silver gives like 30,000. Is 60,000 worth all my rage? :v:
I knew I should have pre-ordered sooner... all of the physical copies of the collectors edition are sold out everywhere :(
