[QUOTE=JesterUK;35075733]What DLC? Aside from Javik, the rest of the DLC is armor and weapons.[/QUOTE] Unless you're talking about future DLC.
The ending to a trilogy should leave you feeling sad. Sad that the journey is over, it should leave you with that wonderfully painful hollow feeling in your gut. Leave you sad that the journey is over, but grateful to have been able to take part in it. It's supposed to give us closure, explain what happens to the characters and world you have fallen in love with. The ending to a trilogy shouldn't deny you the explanation(s), or a resolution that you've sought for so long. Instead of that beautiful pain that everyone of us who loves storytelling yearns for, i'm left with a feeling of anger and disappointment.
Illusive Man's line [sp]But I can![/sp] sent chills down my spine. Great delivery. Great game. And please BioWare, have a good plan in regards to the DLC. And I can't stop listening to the end credits song. It really gets to me. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0q945A4iMc[/media]
[QUOTE=Razi The Red;35075807]Effective maybe: would have to check it, but I'm in no position to do so ATM.[/QUOTE] A lot of people seem to confuse effective with Total. ONLY the Effective number counts people. You may have 6500 Total assets (I do), but my effective number is 6500/2, so 3250 ending.
I really hope that the future DLC for ME3 will be as good as ME2 DLC. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meTTM8X-Zy4[/media] epic DLC
I need to get a trainer or something. No way im gonna let go of the game without getting that "good" ending. [editline]0[/editline] Did anyone find out if its possible to edit the readiness %?

[sp]Illusive Man = Saren.[/sp] Good times.
Eugh, all those signals weren't enough, I see. [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Arvuti;35076064]who cares[/QUOTE] I do.
To be honest I really enjoyed the whole game, up until the end. Getting a bad ending like this kinda ruins my whole experience. [editline]0[/editline] At least the soundtrack is still top notch [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndAucnteF7Y[/media] Great track
[QUOTE=Prism;35076143]To be honest I really enjoyed the whole game, up until the end. Getting a bad ending like this kinda ruins my whole experience.[/QUOTE] Exactly how I feel. Everything up until the last 10-15 minutes was great, but then it just spiraled downward from there.
Maybe it's my new headphones, but the sound and music in this game is the best I ever experienced.
[QUOTE=Prism;35076143]To be honest I really enjoyed the whole game[/QUOTE] I enjoyed more than I thought I would, but it was still an odd experience all around. It has some very well done moments, but there were a lot of things that weren't so hot. [sp]Like EDI, she looked like she belonged in some 80's porno. Legion's death was a joke too. The concept behind it was alright, but having Legion just plop to the ground was a poor way to do that scene.[/sp]

[QUOTE=EcksDee;35076236]So am I the only one that doesn't have an issue with [sp]EDI's appearance?[/sp][/QUOTE] I didnt mind it either. Sure it was really, really unneeded, but hey - it made Joker happy :v:
[QUOTE=EcksDee;35076236]So am I the only one that doesn't have an issue with [sp]EDI's appearance?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]before the release I just thought they had made edi an over-sexualized body, but that wasn't the case at all and it was all good[/sp]
So Bioware still waiting to see how you try to clean yourselves up with the dlc
[QUOTE=DX_V;35076080][sp]Illusive Man = Saren.[/sp] Good times.[/QUOTE] [sp]I'm sure it's a common line of thought. There is no hope against such beings, fighting seems meaningless and your instincts won't let you completely submit, appeasement and an assymetric symbiosis seem a good option. Hell, the synthesis option lets you choose it yourself, albeit under different terms.[/sp] [QUOTE=Prism;35076143]At least the soundtrack is still top notch [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndAucnteF7Y[/media] Great track[/QUOTE] I've got to get my hands on this somehow, good music is good music.
The Quarians deserve to get kicked in their collective nuts.
Well guys, its been an epic journey. For 5 years I've been a vivid fan of the series, played all games with all the dlc, read all the books and comics books. And now its over. Feels weird.
I have the strangest feeling that Bioware might be making an expansion pack.
[QUOTE=abracusify;35076588]I have the strangest feeling that Bioware might be making an expansion pack.[/QUOTE] Nah, it's pretty much guaranteed that they will shoehorn in some DLC missions, maybe with a bit of extra garbage and if you're lucky, one good mission. Expansion packs in the old sense are long gone.

Expansion packs in the old sense are long gone.[/QUOTE] I just hope they fix the endings. And continue adding content for Multiplayer, which is unlikely.
Its late but(spoiler warning): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIzzCIQAm7Y[/media] [sp] I wish I could have the Gabe one ingame[/sp]
Logic wise with [sp]Shepard controlling the reapers it would just be safe to assume he would make them rebuild the relays, help clean the galaxy and go fetch what-ever the Normandy crew crash landed[/sp]
[QUOTE=Feuver;35074035]I really wanted to tell her to shut the fuck up. I mean, you're the last species to get nuked, and this is how you react? Mind the other species too lady, the Batarians are completely extinct.[/QUOTE] The batarians are fucked, but hardly extinct.
So, anyone else got this random stutter briefly when looking around?
Now where is my Mass Effect 3:Broken Steel because the plot holes are as stupid as fallout 3 ending. Press button to get yourself killed despite having a fucking robot, Fawkes or an Ghoul right next to you and they simply state "nope"
