Mass Effect Megathread: DING DONG BANNU edition - Games

[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;34645102]Alright, just finished the demo. Feel free to ask anything I don't answer. That's about all I can think of right now; I'll post more as I think of it. Any questions, feel free to ask.[/QUOTE] Maybe you already said this, but I didn't see it. Did you play on 360 or PC?

Is there any way to force anti aliasing on ME1 and ME2 with an ATI card ( and a steam version ) ?

Disable multipass lighting (for ATI users only) maxmultisamples = X

[QUOTE=Lizard Of Guilt;34646536][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QAfAR.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] The line is "I'm Commander Shepard" not "this is Commander Shepard", God gamestop get it together.

[QUOTE=27X;34646851]Disable multipass lighting (for ATI users only) maxmultisamples = X[/QUOTE] How do I do that ?

JeanLuc761 your review of the demo has excited me.

Just my opinion on the FemShep trailer. I'm very disappointed that it seems like they simply imported the ME2 teammates and only removed their Cerberus logo. Especially Jacob still wearing his skin tight suit in war time. But I think I should accept this fact because except for Garrus and Jack, every other ME2 character appears to get the same treatment. Another thing, Hale didn't let me down to show her emotionless lines.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;34647517]Third and fourth maskless quarians look P. nice IMO Third is a bit dark around the eyes, but that's a small fix[/QUOTE] I like the fourth one best. some of the other ones look too human or cartoony, but 4 looks like a believable alien, at least to me.

Right, quick heads up, don't read the comments on the "why we love our Commander Shepard" article on Kotaku, they contain ME3 spoilers. Rather annoying I have to say.

Does anyoen have any of the Action figures? I am wondering how detailed they are.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;34647705]Does anyoen have any of the Action figures? I am wondering how detailed they are.[/QUOTE] They're pretty decent when it comes to detail, the only problem I've had with the Grunt figure was a small tag of plastic that was on the chin, easily removed.

Well I mean just look at the trailer putting "PARTIAL NUDITY" right in the spotlight, of course it's not going to be anything.

So is FemShep saying "And tell your friends I'm coming for them next" foreshadowing the fact that all the Reapers are friends and regularly go out on picnics together?

[QUOTE=Tortekr;34646304]How does the health system work? From the footage it looked like it was a hybrid between regenerating health and medkits.[/QUOTE] Yep, that's exactly right.

Well, I know a lot of people have said it before, but [sp]EDI[/sp] looks fucking ugly. It's the [sp]head-bits[/sp] mainly.

[QUOTE=usaokay;34648084]I'm taking this on a wild guess here, but if you killed the thresher maw during Grunt's loyalty mission, then it will have dire consequences in ME3's Tuchanka mission. It is a possibility since there was a thresher maw attacking a reaper ship in one of the ME3 trailers, so I'm just assuming that it's the same thresher maw from ME2 and not some other thresher (as if there were more than one).[/QUOTE] Nope, that one in the trailer is the [sp]mother of all tresher maws.[/sp] You should read the leaked script buddy, it's name is [sp]Kalros.[/sp]

It would have been neat if her physical form was a sort of human/Geth platform that EDI and Legion worked on together or something. Something original instead of " SHE'S A FEMALE AI SO LETS GIVE A ROCKIN BOD"[/sp]

Got a key for ME3 demo on xbox 360. Aw yeah.

It just reeks of cheesy low budget sci-fi [/sp]

Now that I'm awake and thinking a little more clearly, update on the ME3 demo. Vega does not sound like Freddie Prinze Jr. I'm thinking his voice acting is still placeholder here. Same kinda seems to go for Mordin. Half his lines he sounds like Michael Beattie, but the other half...I honestly don't know. Additionally, the demo's portrayal of conversation threw me off really badly. There is never a point when there's more than two dialogue options, paragon/renegade options don't exist, and there is never an "Investigate" option. It's EXTREMELY simple, which I'm hoping is simply for the sake of the demo.
