[QUOTE=Takuat;34712903]Except most PC gamers spend give or take £1000 on their system. If the game looked the same as it did on console what is the point in me buying a gaming PC.[/QUOTE] I guess that's true, but I don't know, the PC isn't the game. You paid 60USD for the game license and its content, why should you or I get better? Besides, every PC game is just a (typically sloppy) Xbox Port, we'll never have a true PC game for a long long time. [editline]15th February 2012[/editline] Regardless, sorry if I don't reply to this discussion, I'm playing ME3 with a few FPers. :v:
Yeah and they only make shitty textures and dont have to actually scale them down for consoles
The worst part about ME3 is that I'm interested in playing it, but because it will never be on Steam, we will never see any Steam sales or major discounts for it, except maybe on Amazon.com. I just cannot justify paying full price plus extra ($60 total) on something that feels like ME2 but downgraded. It seems pretty much worse in almost every single way than ME2, at least visually and dialog wise. Gamplay felt the same, but I never sat back and went "ME2 has amazing gameplay". ME2 was good to me because of the visual atmopsphere and quality to it, the dialog, etc. The gameplay was good, but nothing that made me want to prefer it over something else. So it's the perfect game for me to get on sale, but because EA controls the purstrings exclusively this time around I'll never get it on sale. I feel like buying Russian keys after BF3 won't work anymore either. If it does though, that'll be awesome (because then it'll only be $35 or so).
Usually demos are somewhat earlier builds of the game. You people need to chill.

Had to for fiscal reasons, so I'm largely in agreement with you. Hopefully Ultimatum Games or someone will have some discounted keys up soonish after release so I can have a second look.
You know origin holds sales as well. Of course since this is a big title we'd probably only see a 25%-33% sale after a few months, but its like that for steam as well.
[QUOTE=markfu;34713121]You know origin holds sales as well. Of course since this is a big title we'd probably only see a 25%-33% sale after a few months, but its like that for steam as well.[/QUOTE] Actually BF3 and Arkham City had 50% off sales fairly shortly after release.
Infiltrator continues to be the best class ever. -1 hit kills with the avenger -Sticky grenades fuck Atlas mechs up -Cloak is multi purpose, extra damage, get out of a tight spot, revive an ally in the middle of a group of enemies then fuck them up bro team style -Cryo blast to make enemies fall down stairs [editline]15th February 2012[/editline] It also allows you to take out an entire enemy group alone by cloaking behind the enemy. I've saved the day by wiping an enemy squad, plus Atlas, 5 times already. I feel like a fucking hero.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;34713308]Cryo blast to make enemies fall down stairs[/QUOTE] Wait a second... Is the new Cryo Blast capable of making icy patches, or does it just make them fall over? If the former, then Cryo is gonna have masses of comedy potential a'la Dark Messiah. (the Ice spell in that game could make icy patches to make enemies slip)
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;34713110]Usually demos are somewhat earlier builds of the game. You people need to chill.[/QUOTE] You mean like Crysis 2?
Was there a way to generate finished ME2 save games with the choices you want, like a site or something? Would love the get ME3 on PC, but I have the earlier ones on X360, and I can't really afford to buy them all for PC right now.
[QUOTE=GetBent;34713209]Actually BF3 and Arkham City had 50% off sales fairly shortly after release.[/QUOTE] I definitely remember BF3 was 50% off a month after release because that's when a friend of mine bought it, sometime in November. Honestly while I'd still probably buy ME3 for $60 since it's the only game I plan on getting for awhile, the coop being fun as shit only adds value.
I was so happy when I started up engineer and found the little drone. However, the rocket turret seemed to do little. If I play again I want to try the flame thrower turret. Also singularity and heavy melee just isn't fair. My one problem with combat is that a lot of times I was trying to get into cover but I would just keep rolling.

There is a glitch were cryo blasting an enemy in a singularity freezes them in place until they thaw/die. I just think it's funny to freeze someone at the top of a ladder f a ramp and watch them fall down.

Plus eventually you can get the sniper rifle damage up insanely high with cloak so the damage difference won't be as noticeable (on non Atlas enemies anyway).
I'm still hoping some lovely, sexy son of a gun is going to preorder ME3 for Origin, and since they are such wonderful people and already own BF3, they decide to help a poor, pauper boy and grace them with generosity. And by poor pauper boy, I mean me.

Plus it's weak as shit.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;34713513]I hat the viper, the avenger hits exactly where the crosshairs cross, the viper hits near the crosshair. Plus it's weak as shit.[/QUOTE] Eh, to each their own. I'm number one every time with the Viper so far in pubs.
I might downloade Mirrors edge aswell since i had that one activated when i had my new nvidia card 2 years ago, but me3 demo: here i come! Also: OriginID Panzerdebeuker, i might not respond much since i prefer Steam.
soldier + level 3 or above concussive shot + assault rifle / heavy pistol combo ultimate trolling [editline]15th February 2012[/editline] opened FOUR recruit packs and still no classes god dammit give me a Turian soldier already
[QUOTE=Saza;34713624] opened FOUR recruit packs and still no classes god dammit give me a Turian soldier already[/QUOTE] I've opened 10 vet packs and ~5 recruit packs and haven't gotten one. All I got was Female Human Infiltrator XP twice.

I re-unlocked female Vanguard :v:
Are you more likely to get weapon mods in recruit or veteran packs? I keep getting the one round upgrades but I wants some scram rails or something for my sniper rifle.

Concerning the VAs, I've noticed Meer has improved, but has Hale continued her downward trend in the series or has she actually improved?

I am okay with not having high res textures on the pc because my computer is a six year old store bought piece of shit.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;34713729]Concerning the VAs, I've noticed Meer has improved, but has Hale continued her downward trend in the series or has she actually improved?[/QUOTE] I only played once with FemShep and she sounds better, a lot less bored.
I guess I'll get a Vet case next time even though I haven't been able to afford one I should soon hopefully I'll get what I want [editline]15th February 2012[/editline] haven't unlocked any other than standard classes though so I'll take whatever I can get but god damn the human male soldier helmet is ugly as fuck I wish you could customize them
