I'm just waiting for Bioware's official statement regarding the ending, it better be good. If they update the game with a new ending (which they won't but if they do) I would gladly replay it
[QUOTE=EcksDee;35093577]What how What did you do? I had max paragon and didn't have it.[/QUOTE] You have to choose either paragon in every conversation with him. Or renegade in every conversation with him. (I believe)
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35093564][sp]And the kid even fucking TELLS YOU THAT. How do you miss that, Bioware?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp] Maybe Shepard now walks around horribly crippled and blind? [/sp]
[QUOTE=GetBent;35093571]The thing is [sp]Shepard wakes up on what looks like Earth. Building debris, and you can hear wind blowing. Which would imply that whole choice sequence never happened.[/sp][/QUOTE] Let's hope so. I'd like nothing more than to start the game, [sp]with a new DLC (preferably free, after this shit) that says Shepard being back on the Normandy and the entire conclusion was just him being knocked out after the Reaper cannon narrowly misses him. And then the actual conclusion happens, where you have the choice to control the Reapers by altering the function of the Crucible (and the Citadel IS the Catalyst, only in the sense that it allows Crucible to use the Mass Relays to get its job done) or shut down the Reapers. Everybody is happy.[/sp]

I just beat it... but what the? [sp]All of a sudden, I get this glimpse of someone wearing N7 tags, under a stack of rubble? Surely if the citadel exploded, he couldn't have survived? Did I get killed in that big reaper explosion or something? I'm so confused.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Jackald;35092631]By the way, this is hands down the best armour in the game. [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/469738043633402676/434AEF3B4E997560BE222AF37DC0FD257864455B/?jpg[/img] I also love the Black, White and Red colour scheme.[/QUOTE] no collector armour #1

Seems omni-tools have gone a step further, and now comes as an edible version. (Spoiler-ish background, invasion of earth) [url]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/505766656279648690/034383D50A02E40DF7DBF36556D88240E67B14BE/[/url]
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35093564][sp]And the kid even fucking TELLS YOU THAT. How do you miss that, Bioware?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]That was the kid, the Reapers, trying to protect itself/themselves. It wanted to let you know that you would die, that you would be responsible for the death of all synthetic life including the Geth. If that indoctrination theory is true it was trying to stop you from making that choice and break free of the indoctrination, it was trying to appeal to your sense of self preservation which, if Commander Shepard is selfless enough wouldn't matter. Something the Reapers probably don't understand, being programmed to preserve themselves.[/sp]
I wore the Iron Man armor but when I kissed Liara towards the end he didn't take off his helmet so her face went through it, shit was weird.

It wanted to let you know that you would die, that you would be responsible for the death of all synthetic life including the Geth. If that indoctrination theory is true it was trying to stop you from making that choice and use your will to break to indoctrination.[/sp][/QUOTE] I'd be fine with this, but the plot is basically giving really no hints to this or extremely slim ones so its an obscure shot in the dark that fucks people over.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;35093582]This is true too, how the fuck does he get back on earth? I sure can't wait for a bullshit "it was a dream" deal.[/QUOTE] [sp]An indoctrinated dream would be convincing and better than what we've got. I would accept that as long as we get a proper ending after[/sp]
[QUOTE=Thom12255;35093701][sp]An indoctrinated dream would be convincing and better than what we've got.

But it doesn't, and you know it will be a paid DLC to continue the game.
Bioware are clever. They've created an ending that's so terrible that their whole fanbase is willing to pay for a different one.
I would hope the negativity shitstorm would be large enough to make them reconsider. Then again, knowing publishers, I doubt it.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;35093719]Bioware are clever. They've created an ending that's so terrible that their whole fanbase is willing to pay for a different one.[/QUOTE] Honestly, I'm just dedicated to Mass-Effect and I want to see what they cook up. Call me a chump, but as fucked as this ending was, I just goddamn love Mass-Effect
[QUOTE=doommarine23;35093708]But it doesn't, and you know it will be a paid DLC to continue the game.[/QUOTE] [sp]I doubt with Shepard however - it'll probably be exploring the world after the choices made by Shepard in the Crucible / Citadel... if it wasn't a dream (I still have my doubts).[/sp]
Any coalasced files or something to improve graphics or anything? I see some people whose games look alot better than mine (max settings with AA, AF at 16x forced in CCC etc)
[QUOTE=doommarine23;35093708]See, I would be okay with this. If the main game continued after-words. But it doesn't, and you know it will be a paid DLC to continue the game.[/QUOTE] Which is bullshit. I know, EA and Bioware are businesses, but this is the perfect way to ensure your future sales are significantly lower.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;35093751]Which is bullshit.

This is all tits up, but we're basically Bioware's bitch here. (You don't have to buy it, I know, but just saying. We're at their mercy for anything good)

[QUOTE=N7;35093803]Mass Effect Fields[/QUOTE] Produced by what? Traynor's toothbrush?
I really liked the ending and the game as a whole really, it was really fucking good. Got a terrible ending though since I couldn't be arsed to increase my galactic readiness and, like I always do, said 'fuck off' whenever I was confronted with a WoW fetch quest. I did all the actual sidequests (you know, the ones with actual voice acting, gameplay and a coherent story) and they were all quite good. I was expecting the game to be mediocre so for it to be this good is fantastic. Unfortunately I didn't import a save from ME1/2 and made choices ingame that were less than stellar so basically everyone who could die in ME3 did. The game looked really good as well, apart from some lowres textures (as per for bioware) I was genuinely impressed with the visuals (though the most technically impressive thing for me is that they finally bothered to animate kissing) Worst thing by far was the fucking child that appears throughout the game, not so much an emotional cheap shot as an emotional cheap shot that failed on every conceivable level (I didn't care that he died, and I doubt shepard would care that much that he died). The dream sequences with him in were fucking awful (I spent about 10 minutes running around in the first one) and his voice actor was sub-par as well. I was moved emotionally by quite a few moments in the game but I couldn't give less of a shit about the fucking kid. And the ending epilogue scene with the photo sucked, can they not find kids who are decent voice actors
[QUOTE=doommarine23;35093708]See, I would be okay with this. If the main game continued after-words. But it doesn't, and you know it will be a paid DLC to continue the game.[/QUOTE] If the game did continue after that then Bioware would be hailed as the greatest game story tellers of all time but no, they threw it all away.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRRpGlmtws8[/media] Also has the best gamers review of mass effect been posted here yet? I can't be bothered to check.
EA and Bioware have lied too many times to ever be trusted again.
[QUOTE=mac338;35093333]Anyone else really bothered by this? [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44722719/Leng.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] oh yeah and this guy was pretty dumb as well
