[QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;34817486]short youtube links don't media tag there you go[/QUOTE] I have the sudden urge to play a 'xenophobe' playthrough. Killing as many aliens as possible or downright refusing to work with them.
that works out until you pick ashley or kaiden to die and you have to use an alien for a second squadmate
Hmm it looks like that Coalesced thread got deleted?
IP bans to everyone who edited their coalesced ea style
[QUOTE=Skyward;34817157]Why do companies choose to release stuff on different days like that?[/QUOTE] The trading week ends on a Tuesday in America no idea why. It endson a friday in Europe, because that's, you know, the end of the week. They release games on that day because the day one sales make the week look better and slightly pushes their stock prices up.
[QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;34817674]that works out until you pick ashley or kaiden to die and you have to use an alien for a second squadmate[/QUOTE] True. But still, I'd do things like killing Shiala, the Rachni queen, the council, any other alien I can and possibly not even recruit Garrus; fully support Terra Firma; only let the humans on the ME2 team survive; Unconditional and blind support for Cerberus; romance either Jack, Ashley, or Miranda; etcetera, etcetera.
go with ashley for the space racist duo team
[QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;34817731]IP bans to everyone who edited their coalesced ea style[/QUOTE] They ban you from whole internet. FOR TEH JUSTICE.
[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;34817633]I have the sudden urge to play a 'xenophobe' playthrough. Killing as many aliens as possible or downright refusing to work with them.[/QUOTE] I tried to kill the humans on my team in ME2 except for myself. Jacob was the only fucking survivor. I had to replay it 3 times just to get that and everytime Miranda survived she looked like a smug bitch who knew I was trying to get her killed and failed.
[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;34817633]I have the sudden urge to play a 'xenophobe' playthrough. Killing as many aliens as possible or downright refusing to work with them.[/QUOTE] Xenophobe =/= Chaotic Stupid, my "official" playthrough is racist xenophobic Space Marine and I'm getting along swimmingly with Garrus and Wrex. Look at it this way; use the aliens for what their worth, and when the opportunity arises, kill them. Just because you hate aliens doesn't mean you don't recognize their usefulness as tools to better aid Humanity. Hell, you could even use that logic to see saving the Destiny Ascension as a good thing, earning the trust of the xeno until the Cycle arrives, when they'll be weakened enough to deal a killing blow. So far I've killed the Rachni Queen, saved Shiala, supported Terra Firma and kept Wrex alive. I'm definitely planning on siding with the Geth and Salarians in ME3 though, the Geth just want to be left alone (and thus aren't a threat) while the Salarians are the weakest of the original Council Species whilst closest to Humanity in behavior.

Crysis 2 all over again, wont enjoy the multiplayer when everybody runs around max lvl and equipped with everything on release.[/QUOTE] Doesn't let me view the thread, what is it?
[QUOTE=KorJax;34817969]Doesn't let me view the thread, what is it?[/QUOTE] It's an exploit for item drop chances, just read this: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1160336?p=34815999&viewfull=1#post34815999[/url]
Just a quick question, Just pre ordered, does the game not go into you list of games until it is released ?
[QUOTE=Tuskin;34817202]Most things being released on Friday in Europe is the same reason why most things are released on the Tuseday on NA. I don't remember that reason, but that is why.[/QUOTE] It's because stores start their inventory week usually on Tuesday in NA. If you release a game in NA on a friday/saturaday, you're only going to have 2-3 days of "sales data" vs. knowing what sales were like accurately for an entire weekly period. It mostly has to do with the fact that it's easier and more convienent to track numbers when you start selling at the start of the week when Gamestop and Target and such get their inventory in.

[QUOTE=horsedrowner;34818148]asd[/QUOTE] oh right sorry, Hmm I'll try reloading origin. [editline]22nd February 2012[/editline] hmm no still not there, did it appear instantly ?
[QUOTE=reecematee;34818178]oh right sorry, Hmm I'll try reloading origin. [editline]22nd February 2012[/editline] hmm no still not there, did it appear instantly ?[/QUOTE] More or less, I installed Origin after I purchased it online.
[QUOTE=mercurius;34815999][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rq2ao.png[/IMG] Oh sorry guys I messed up! I forgot to fix the rarity of Rarity_Uncommon items to Rarity_Common as well!

[QUOTE=reecematee;34818178]oh right sorry, Hmm I'll try reloading origin. [editline]22nd February 2012[/editline] hmm no still not there, did it appear instantly ?[/QUOTE] someone else said the game never appeared for them and that EA support told him it wasn't their problem
[QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;34818289]someone else said the game never appeared for them and that EA support told him it wasn't their problem[/QUOTE] You can sue for that can't you?
[QUOTE=Broguts;34818311]You can sue for that can't you?[/QUOTE] i'd wait for the game to be released to see if it appeared first but yeah that's blatant something
[QUOTE=horsedrowner;34818208]More or less, I installed Origin after I purchased it online.[/QUOTE] damn, well okay this is annoying, ill just have to wait and see.
[QUOTE=Takuat;34818270]Where does it go? I can't locate the ME3 directory.[/QUOTE] Use windows search to find the original file and replace it. Maybe make a backup before doing so. The paths are different for me because I install games in different folders on different drives so they are no use to you.

[QUOTE=Broguts;34818311]You can sue for that can't you?[/QUOTE] Sure, you can sue everyone if you want to, although you might not win every case...
well as long as the case is "I paid for a product with a valid payment that took money off of my account and I never received product and the support staff told me it wasn't their problem that I didn't receive my product so I stayed calm and politely sued them" I don't see that case not winning... I'm not a lawyer but it's ok I stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night
[QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;34818289]someone else said the game never appeared for them and that EA support told him it wasn't their problem[/QUOTE] oh wow
may i also ask, does everyone have it in their list, specifically any uk residents.
[QUOTE=reecematee;34818560]may i also ask, does everyone have it in their list, specifically any uk residents.[/QUOTE] I have it as unreleased.
[QUOTE=Broguts;34818569]I have it as unreleased.[/QUOTE] dsfdasvsa v okay so i guess it is me, sorry for asking so many questions but i guess you also got yours straight away, plus do you have the demo on origin. [editline]22nd February 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/eAC4rs.png[/IMG] Plus it is also on order submitted, is anyones different.
