I think the problem with the endings is that they're just so abrupt [sp] I mean everyone WANTED to see the Reapers dead, and quite rightly so. Suddenly we find out that there's more to it than just "Reapers are evil" and it's heavily implied that destroying them is the worst possible idea. It's just too sudden, we have no reason to not want to destroy the reapers, and yet it's implied that doing so is the "Bad" ending. We needed more conflicts and insinuation (Snide ones, perhaps) along the way, unpleasant implications that the reapers actually have what they deem a just cause, a purpose. Otherwise if you plunge the user into the situation where the reapers are suddenly the good guys, it's just confusing. I'm fine with the explanation for the reapers' motivation, I found it satisfying enough once I thought about it enough. It was just too much all at once. We needed some indicator that the Reapers were not just some BBEG, and that there was something more behind it that we didn't know. Then the players could make their own decisions about whether they're right or not - Just like Deus Ex (Which people have drawn comparisons to already) - The moral decision lies with the player. Oh, and the endings needed to be a lot more different. As it is it just looks lazy, even if the decisions had significantly different effects, the fact that the cutscenes are pretty much identical makes the choice seem almost irrelevant.[/sp]
maybe like the missions on rannoch where you find out the geth origion story and it makes you move more onto "their" side? [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] the ones where you go into the matrix
Actually, does anyone remember that one girl you talk to in ME2, if you took the War Hero Background? The one who escaped batarian slavers and who you have to calm down in order to get her help? It was a very moving scene for me. Does she show up in ME3 at any point?

A Mass Effect game about the Protheans would rule. Like how they were shortly before their reaper invasion, and how they fought against them at first. The races in the other Mass Effect games only being mentioned in a codex and occasionally by NPC's. It could be really awesome, imagine a Sci-Fi game where humans are cast into a role of only having modern humans ancestors mentioned. I don't think that's been done before and could be executed well. [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=jp_rsardeto;35280362]Wow the yelling is so stupid. Sounds like they are having an orgasm.[/QUOTE] Ashley's sounds more like she's dying.
I finished me3 last night. I am disappoint. But I played on hardcore as an adept. Put all points into recharge time/power damage. Did not use guns at all except for one pinch I was in on the geth destroyer.
I have just found this It is mildly amusing [img]http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m198e8RbnC1r436hfo1_500.jpg[/img]
Umm, All my powers just reset My squad is level 43 and i went back to lvl 1 with 3 points to spend, And that with my ass on the line against harvesters and shit on Tuchanka It happened after my my game crashed and i had to select which save file (cloud or local) to use, i used the last one which was the local one. I played with that save like 1 hrs ago without problem Has anyone had anything similar, and in that case any solutions ?
[QUOTE=jp_rsardeto;35280362]The yelling is so stupid. Sounds like they are having an orgasm.[/QUOTE] It actually sounds like they are screaming. Although Ashley's is pretty weird.

I can't remember that at all and my main has war hero background.
Asari ass. I like. [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/596965974993969480/24F958E698F6A2BD6C49116AD2DF20B1959F45EA/[/t]

[QUOTE=jp_rsardeto;35280362]The yelling is so stupid. Sounds like they are having an orgasm.[/QUOTE] To me it seems like that audio belonged in a cinematic where after that happened they would sort of go Rambo and start yelling and shooting in a rage. Except Ashley, I don't know what the hell that was.
Just came back from a multiplayer game. Three of four players being of Krogan descent. You can imagine how well that game went. Felt like demolition derby, just with frogs on steroids instead of cars. We got to Wave 3. That's when one of the guys shouted "GEE-GEE noobs" and left.

Well, thankfully the issue was fixed somehow; dunno how I got past it but now i've finally ended the war between geth and quarians. Both sides are allied, and Legion became a martyr, just like Mordin. Next I guess it's time to go to Dekuuna and Irune, then go to Thessia to check out the top-secret artifact.
Goddammit I wanna play more ME3 multiplayer but I'm also bored and don't want to. I'm just mad that I'm not getting any of the fun guns.
anyone planning on doing a stream?

[QUOTE=jackattack;35280855]Older than Jesus. I didn't even know Sha'ira was a possible romance. How does that go?[/QUOTE] She's a 'soft' romance in the vein of Samara & Kelly in ME2.
I dunno what to do next. should i do trust missions for all my buds who aren't loyal? or should i go off and recruit more people? mass 2. soldier build, i like to have someone with a sniper and battle rifle and someone who can decently do close quarters. garrus, grunt, miranda, the dude with the fucked up face, katsumi..

Oh God what the heck is wrong with her eyes.

What crate has a higher percentage for getting attachments? I have like no attachments for anything, and the few I do have are only level 1 or 2.
damn claymore is nice
[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;35281186]What crate has a higher percentage for getting attachments? I have like no attachments for anything, and the few I do have are only level 1 or 2.[/QUOTE] I've gotten quite a few attachments from that crate that is 33,000 credits. Though even the 5000 credit crate has given me attachments before as well. I'm not sure one crate gives more attachments than the other, its all luck.
I think quite a few attachments are common so there's an equal chance of getting them in any pack.
