Finally completed the campaign on insanity! [sp]When you had to defend the Thanix Missiles on Earth[/sp]... never gone through anything more frustrating.
[QUOTE=Thom12255;35331138]Someone's uploaded an extended soundtrack, an extra 1.2 hours it's also got that song I was looking for when the Crucible arrives. [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/rhe9o/mass_effect_3_soundtrack_extended_edition_has/[/url][/QUOTE] I like how the Dreams music is a really slow instrumental version of the "Leaving Earth" music. It's quite haunting. [editline]28th March 2012[/editline] It's bloody long, though.
[QUOTE=God dammit;35331598]Finally completed the campaign on insanity! [sp]When you had to defend the Thanix Missiles on Earth[/sp]... never gone through anything more frustrating.[/QUOTE] I hate it in games when the last fight is just a swarm of the hardest enemies, and nothing unique.
[QUOTE=God dammit;35331598]Finally completed the campaign on insanity! [sp]When you had to defend the Thanix Missiles on Earth[/sp]... never gone through anything more frustrating.[/QUOTE] I died only once during that section on Insanity, but then again I play Infiltrator. Also goddamn I want the battle music that's playing during that part.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35331206]So wait, is it enough to have two characters at lvl 20 when the weekend arrives, then just promote them when the event starts? Yes, maybe I can finally find that one combat song I love.[/QUOTE] All you need to do is promote them after the update.
Jesus fucking christ third time in the row I'm crashing on extraction with about 5 seconds left. Seems to happen when I shoot the Geth pyro fuel tank. I also keep accidentally buying the jumbo equipment pack instead of the spectre pack.

If you use garrus +40 ar upgrade and incendiary with "attack my target", it becomes a literal point and click fest. [editline]28th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=kelmar;35328262]So I just spent 4 days blitzing through the story. At first I was kinda like eh whatever about the ending, but the more I think about it the more I hate it. It wasn't just an artistic finish. [sp]They fucked over the entire galaxy[/sp]. I liked the entire mass effect universe, not just the story of intrepid spaceship captain shepard. After then ending events of ME3 [sp]there can't really be anything more[/sp] which pisses me off. I'm so mad bro.[/QUOTE] The most messed up part of that is anyone who played the cert copies for testing (like me) or read the leaks TOLD THEM this was going to be a HUGE problem. People, not just the public, told them then endings were going to be hugely problematic. Now they're wondering why second week sales are a quarter of first week, like they're genuinely confused by it. :|
[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;35331443]This sometimes happens when I try to turn. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61137343/shuprud.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] This is what Indoctrination should look like for Shepard.

I once had loads of recurring crashes when entering a certain area in SP, so I just repaired the game trough Origin.

Pretty much the same deal as GTA.
[QUOTE=27X;35333733]Leviathan.[/QUOTE] What? The Leviathan of Dis? Because that's just a normal Reaper.
[QUOTE=jonoPorter;35331894]Nevermind. Found one.[/QUOTE] To the same collection? Link.
Y'know, I like playing the multiplayer in ME3, but there's something missing; it's like there's a lack of communicative ability. Sure there's voice-chat, but some people don't wanna voice-chat or don't have a mic, so there should be alternatives. An example of such alternative communication would be context-sensitive vocalisations like in Left 4 Dead, like saying "BANSHEE!" when they spot a Banshee. Perhaps character emotes, like Flex or Hi-Five or Calibrate, could allow for interactions between waves, and maybe even be unlockable via the Packs. Also it'd be kinda helpful to have indicators concerning the health, shields and cooldown of your allies. I actually do not like the idea of a minimalistic UI; I want to have more useful information on my screen instead of just blank acres of real-estate. Sure, it's good to not have a cluttered UI, with plenty of space to see most other things, but if I can't see what's up with the other guys how can I know who's likely to keel over first, or who's able to pop open a can of Warp-ass on that Banshee? [QUOTE=Swebonny;35333678]That sucks, I keep crashing at the start of rounds, which kinda sucks too. I once had loads of recurring crashes when entering a certain area in SP, so I just repaired the game trough Origin.[/QUOTE] I had similar problems, with the often-mentioned dreadnought level, but I managed to skip past the cutscene and continue the game.
What I want is more customization options, maybe just limited to Armour sets related to the class, but I'd like to not be using Thane's trench coat/Stupid looking Asari outfit/want to put a helmet on my Krogan.
[QUOTE=ironman17;35333830]An example of such alternative communication would be context-sensitive vocalisations like in Left 4 Dead, like saying "BANSHEE!" when they spot a Banshee.[/QUOTE] They do this already, but I agree with everything else you said. Although text chat wouldn't be feasible with combat being so intense.
[QUOTE=Zeos;35333860]What I want is more customization options, maybe just limited to Armour sets related to the class, but I'd like to not be using Thane's trench coat/Stupid looking Asari outfit/want to put a helmet on my Krogan.[/QUOTE] So much yes with this; having customisable armour sets like in singleplayer would be AMAZING, really shake up how we make our character builds. [QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35333879]They do this already, but I agree with everything else you said. Although text chat wouldn't be feasible with combat being so intense.[/QUOTE] Even though it happens automatically the first time that enemy appears, I was thinking more along the lines of actually triggering the vocalisations manually. Also, concerning text chat, I was thinking that the text chat would be in the lobby instead of during the mission, making sure we can communicate before the match starts. Also also, there should be indicators as to what pages the other players are on, like showing if the guy is in the store or adjusting his equipment (pun not intended); since you don't know what they're doing otherwise, which can lead to miscommunication and possible lobby-kicking.

[QUOTE=Zeos;35318495]Well, considering it makes any sort of continuation almost impossible. No, I don't think people are overreacting.[/QUOTE] I dunno about you but i would gladly pay/play for a me game where you are a reaper fighting racism against your race and trying to unite synthetics in a fight against the blobthetics in the universe [editline]28th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35333879]They do this already, but I agree with everything else you said. Although text chat wouldn't be feasible with combat being so intense.[/QUOTE] something like that system where you press some keys to say things like in tribes ascend and tf2
That's what I was trying to get at; a system like that. Time for some more grinding; DefenderBro needs to get to Level 20 so I can promote him for my thingymajig in Operation Raptor.
My cobra capacity is now 4 in multiplayer.
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35333879]They do this already, but I agree with everything else you said. Although text chat wouldn't be feasible with combat being so intense.[/QUOTE] I think a ''look here'' button like in portal 2 coop would be good. I dunno how many times I've told people on the mic that a banshee is coming up from behind only to have them still face the opposite direction and get insta-killed.
