Is it just me or does Illusive Man have one of the best themes from the whole series? I love listening to it, it's so memorable. Hell, Illusive Man is one of my favorite characters.

[QUOTE=Feuver;35208146]Try your other weapons. Otherwise, you'll have to load a prior save.[/QUOTE] That's turrible.
[QUOTE=Muertos13;35208105]So I'm doing a NG+ run, and I get to the end of Mars. Dr. Eva's charging me, and my only weapon is a Scorpion pistol. what do?[/QUOTE] Time to restart the mission!
[QUOTE=Feuver;35208146]Try your other weapons. Otherwise, you'll have to load a prior save.[/QUOTE] Shotgun to the face worked for me. Just do it a couple of times.

Good remix~ [video=youtube;CHu1gXIekr0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHu1gXIekr0[/video]

[QUOTE=usaokay;35207961]I wonder why Shepard hasn't faced Salarian Reapers (as seen in Mass Effect: Invasion). I'm assuming we'll face them in that leaked DLC where it is said to have two new enemies. Dunno if it's right since the DLC is simply just a rumor.[/QUOTE] Sur'Kesh only gets invaded very late in the game. So there's relatively few Salarians out there who've encountered reapers. There are probably Salarian, Drell, Hanar etc. husks out there, just in relatively small numbers. Volus probably can't be huskified, and the Vorcha, Yahg & Raloi aren't spacefaring.

Anybody have the Reaper sound files? I bought the game on Xbox so I can't get them myself.
[QUOTE=Feuver;35199948]They are. [sp]Synthesis is a huge fucking joke, if you even know a little bit of biology you can completely yell bullshit. How can robots become partly organic? How can organics become synthetic? How is a wave of pure energy able to change every single bit of different DNA in the entire universe to fit with a human male with robotic implants? Synthesis is a huge fucking joke. Control ending is even worse. You die, and you don't even know what you will do with the Reapers. Maybe the Reapers took control of Shepard? Maybe Shepard just died in order to pause the cycle. Maybe the cycle will begin again someday. You just don't know. Destroy ending is the only viable ending. You die (The breath at the end is bullshit. If he's wounded and in the middle of ruins in London, he might as well be dead.) But the Reapers Die. Also, I freaking love how they added Geth and Edi in the mix, because that is bullshit too. Why the fuck would destroying the Reapers require both the Geth and EDI to die? What is the extent of damage to synthetic items or life? The only passable link is that both the Geth and EDI have some reaper in them, but not enough to require utter destruction by a magic wave of energy. My problem with the ending is that it turns a sci-fi epic into a fantasy epic. A god has no place in a sci-fi universe, even more if you can't even ask him the real questions. The wave of energy are space magic, they do stuff that makes no sense at all. [/sp][/QUOTE] Synthesis appears to be a 'just go with it' ending. I doubt anyone thinks that far into it.
[QUOTE=RG4;35208409][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBLOvSb56Vc[/media][/QUOTE] Am I the only one who thinks the ME2 soundtrack was way better than ME3? The themes are nice but I don't really fall for any of the songs in the ME3 track, but in the ME2 track there are multiple that I can listen to over and over and never stop lovin'. [editline]19th March 2012[/editline] Oh god just got the Talon in a Spectre pack, dat N7 insignia background made me cream.
[QUOTE=Agoat;35208413]Anybody have the Reaper sound files? I bought the game on Xbox so I can't get them myself.[/QUOTE] I want the theme that plays during [sp]Kai Leng's final boss fight on the cerberus base[/sp]
So, has anyone gotten one of those packages you're supposed to get after beating reapers on silver difficulty?
[QUOTE=Starship;35208565]So, has anyone gotten one of those packages you're supposed to get after beating reapers on silver difficulty?[/QUOTE] they come on tuesday

[QUOTE=jiggu;35208479] Oh god just got the Talon in a Spectre pack, dat N7 insignia background made me cream.[/QUOTE] I got it when i was like level 15 on my first Spectre pack. I didn't like it very much until I added a scope so it has some range. I'd rather have gotten a black widow.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;35208115][IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/mjbzwp.jpg[/IMG] Kinda disappointed, seems like it might be a decent weapon if I didn't have to sit on top of an ammo box. At least it still instantly applies ammo effects like it does in SP, though.[/QUOTE] I got it in the Early Access Demo and it kinda sucks.

tbh for any mission after you find the widow in sp it really the only weapon you need to own everything or you could buy the black widow and turn everything to jelly
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35208758]tbh for any mission after you find the black widow in sp it really the only weapon you need to own everything[/QUOTE] You buy the Black Widow. I guess you're talking about the regular Widow, I prefer the Javelin. The sound it makes as you fuck shit up is just beautiful.
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35208758]tbh for any mission after you find the black widow in sp it really the only weapon you need to own everything[/QUOTE] You mean buy?
I also dont understand why javik had the accent of someone fresh off the boat from africa [editline]19th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=jiggu;35208807]You buy the Black Widow.

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;35208428]Synthesis appears to be a 'just go with it' ending. I doubt anyone thinks that far into it.[/QUOTE] But I want to be able to make sense out of something in a science-fiction work. I always felt like the difference between fantasy and science fiction is that science fiction can at least rationalize the stuff that happens so it makes sense. Nothing in the series so far was totally magic or something like that, but when you arrive at Mass Effect 3's ending, it just turns into a fantasy work of pure magic and unexplained stuff.
the particle rifle is a pretty cool weapon too [QUOTE=Feuver;35208840]But I want to be able to make sense out of something in a science-fiction work.

[QUOTE=Eltro102;35208828]I also dont understand why javik had the accent of someone fresh off the boat from africa [editline]19th March 2012[/editline] oops yeah[/QUOTE] Because the translator device assumed he was Jamaican.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;35200997]Oh, ME2/3's armor definitely has it's perks. If you remove the shoulderpads and choose the right arms, you get a nice balance. Though I still wish ME2/3 had ME1's N7 helmet. The new helmets don't look good, what with the visor going up the sides for no reason.[/QUOTE] I chose armor that makes me look like a praying mantis in human form
I'm a Vanguard in multiplayer, what shotgun should I use?
