Mass Effect Megathread - This one doesn't have time for your solid waste excretions! - Games

Btw, Mercurius, I think that VLC is the semi-commercialized version of medigel's chemical formula.

[QUOTE=Goldenboy;26645583]Woke up with nearly 300 new posts - that's 'Minecraft Thread' levels of chatter. Impressive trailer. Guessing we'll get a British squadmate, which is pretty cool. Can't wait. EDIT: Anderson was born in London apparently. You learn something every day.[/QUOTE] We've already had a British squad mate: this badass motherfucker...

I thought that Zaeed was Italian.

Whoah, the animation in this trailer is probably the best I've ever seen. it looks so real! Especialy the lighting!

When will the graphics in the game actually be the exact same or close to the graphics in trailers like that one? :sigh:

[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;26646324]When will the graphics in the game actually be the exact same or close to the graphics in trailers like that one? :sigh:[/QUOTE] Probably a pretty long time when you consider that trailer is made using billions of polygons and most likely took days or weeks to render.

[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;26646324]When will the graphics in the game actually be the exact same or close to the graphics in trailers like that one? :sigh:[/QUOTE] BioWare commented on the graphics of Mass Effect 3 by saying that there will be very little improvements since Mass Effect 2.

Here is the fixed one for people who had problems to watch it in Europe: [url]http://tubedubber.com/#7XX6cTjaih4:ABqh9N-Mw5E:0:100:0:0:true[/url]

[QUOTE=mercurius;26646676][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHCA8tK117c[/media] Did ME2 look like in the trailers? Nope...[/QUOTE] That trailer was labeled cinematic, you know...

Oh god I can't wait to sink my teeth into ME3!

[QUOTE=the_killer24;26646762]That trailer was labeled cinematic, you know...[/QUOTE] Stating the obvious

I hope the 'Über-Collectors edition' of ME3 either comes with a model of: A Reaper The Normandy The M7 Assault Rifle A Mass Relay ... or The Citadel Any of those would be fucking epic.

[QUOTE=sltungle;26646822]I hope the 'Über-Collectors edition' of ME3 either comes with a model of: A Reaper The Normandy The M7 Assault Rifle A Mass Relay ... or The Citadel Any of those would be fucking epic.[/QUOTE] The only thing I would find useful are ship models.

[QUOTE=sltungle;26646822] The M7 Assault Rifle [/QUOTE] I swear if it's a fucking lights and sounds assault rifle

[QUOTE=mercurius;26646849]The only thing I would find useful are ship models.[/QUOTE] I like the idea of an operational Mass Relay that's connected to ONE OTHER Mass Relay that one other person receives with their 'Über-Collectors edition' of ME3.

Anyone seen the film Skyline? It was pretty shit, but the new ME trailer reminded me of that, with the giant ships coming down and fucking shit up. The only difference being Skyline was in America. Now that I think about it, there's quite a few parallels to the bad guys in that film with the Reapers...

And an Alliance/Spectre badge would be cool, in a case.

[QUOTE=Devodiere;26643397]Legion will return, probably as a squadmate. [B]When the Geth die, their memories are archived and their experiences given to all other Geth. If Legion dies, all other Geth will have his experience and you know they will all value it greatly. If the Geth were to produce another model similar to Legion with the capacity to run thousands of programs simultaneously then it would no doubt have the experiences and memories of Legion. There is not much variance in Geth personality so no-one would even notice the difference if it was a different platform. If Legion died, they could make another one almost the exact same.[/B] I think he will be a squadmate due to the reaction to having him in ME2. I'm sure Legion was among the most popular squadmates for his awesome dialogue options and the fact that having a competent squadmate with a Widow is a massive bonus. Unfortunately however he was not in the game for much and there would of been a bit of disappointment about this. No doubt Bioware will listen to this and give us a Geth squadmate for a lot more of the game.[/QUOTE] Actually some of Legion's death dialogue indicated he failed to link up to a "carrier" to upload his mind, meaning if he died on the Collector Base he's not coming back.

I jizzed so hard it burst through a wall. Do want a fucking spectre edition of ME3.

[QUOTE=MoarToast;26642290]I am honestly kind of worried about the whole "Earth being attacked" thing being the ending to the Shepard story arc. It wouldn't be the worst ending they could do, but it's still kind of underwhelming since ME2 seemed to be building up to the Reapers attempting to wipe out every form of life in the galaxy. As opposed to just Earth. I might be pessimistic about ME3 for a while, since I always get paranoid about these kinds of series. And I'd rather be pleasantly surprised by a good game than severely disappointed by a bad game. So on that note: Was it really necessary to make even the Incisor gray?[/QUOTE] Something tells me earth isn't the only planet being attacked by the "threat to the entire galaxy" but it makes sense that Earth would be important to shepard/Cerberus. I'm assuming the game will start with the defense of Earth and then build on that with "those bastards tried to kill all of humanity this fight is more personal than ever now!"

[QUOTE=Novangel;26646910]And an Alliance/Spectre badge would be cool, in a case.[/QUOTE] Do they even have badges?

I'm saying that Earth gets fucked over as the start of the game. Imagine playing as Shepard, and you are one of the last humans left alive, and you are charged with taking humanities final actions.
