Mass Effect Megathread: Electronic Skills Still Too Low - Games

Did anyone manage to do that Platinum challenge in the end? I attempted it with a few friends and we were overwhelmingly unprepared.

I stopped playing the multiplayer ages ago. Just don't find it fun

I grabbed the platinum title a day before it ended. Was a massive pain. Collectors are easily the worst plat faction. Also yes the m-22 is absurdly OP, but it has a tiny clip and a huge headshot modifier. So if you have great aim and you're on a class that benefits from pistols, it's great. I'd still rather use my harrier, though. I love that gun so much.

Kinda wish I got more pistols or smgs through packs. It's practically all I use so I can keep that +200% recharge.

pistols are okay ish but I'm not even joking when I say SMGs are shitty as fuck

Well I mainly play Geth Juggernaut so I can use both with no recharge penalty. Hard to want to when the only one you continually get is the geth plasma smg.

i'd take the plasma SMG over another Hurricane or Locust or Tempest any day of the week

What I want to know is, where's my co-op campaign Bioware? That is literally the only thing that would make me play the multiplayer again

Maybe that's one of the things they'll reveal at E3. It was in the code and in the marketplace leak, so unless they scrapped it completely it's almost certainly real.

[QUOTE=Saza;39911921]i'd take the plasma SMG over another Hurricane or Locust or Tempest any day of the week[/QUOTE] The geth SMG over the Hurricane? That's crazy talk.

I think they should have done a better job on recapping the whole trilogy in ME 3. I think the dream sequences should have included the characters Shepard has lost in the past and maybe his PTSD could kick in where he has to relive surviving on Akuze or fighting through Torfan or defending Elysium during the Blitz. Him witnessing the death of the child could have kickstarted that. I was honestly half-expecting Ashley/Kaiden and Jenkins to appear in them

Don't bring up the dream sequences. God, I hate those so much. I have story reasons for the hate but also you can't skip them and have to sloooooooooooowlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy follow the kid. I really want to somehow obtain the N7 weapons in the SP.

I have the N7 Valkyrie in SP and it's kinda shitty. [editline]14th March 2013[/editline] But I wouldn't mind the Valiant or the pistol.

Prothean Particle Rifle is OP in Single Player. I love it. Also the Javelin Sniper Rifle.

Two things on my mind. I'm kinda disappointed by the alternate appearance pack for ME3. In ME2 they were pretty cool, here we have Liara and Garrus wearing very dark outfits, EDI is okay for the most part. I guess their reasoning for giving Garrus Terminus armor is if you are playing renegade or also wear Terminus armor. Still doesn't change the fact it doesn't suit Garrus too well. Second is I love two things about the Citadel DLC. I'm so happy they managed to record Zaeed's lines and[sp] Mordin's note[/sp].

[QUOTE=Saza;39912690]Someone's never used the Hurricane.[/QUOTE] I've used the Hurricane many times. When the game was released, it was terrible, but they've buffed it significantly since then. I've got mine to level IX and it absolutely destroys everything. Try using it on a turian or with equipment that improves stability and you will understand why it's so good.

throw it on a cabal and watch things just melt.

In regards to the Citadel DLC, [sp]I just loved how Garrus and Zaeed were trying to secure the apartment. As paranoid as they seamed, they both cared about you. Now I'm sad. :([/sp]

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;39914222]Plus, the whole nightmare-park seemed pretty empty if no one died in ME2.[/QUOTE] Having him relive pivotal events in mass effect 1 would have been great for orienting players that never bought it.

The whole series is just so...sad. :( me and FemShep have wrecked the galaxy for three games. And at the end she just seemed...sad. And exhausted. God, the voice acting difference between the shepards is so noticeable. FemShep gradually sounds more and more angry and fed up and exhausted and male shep's kind of all over the place.

Our teacher has a guy studying to be a teacher that sits in on his classes and occasionally holds lectures and stuff. He asked me in the hall today about my N7 hoodie, what it cost and where I got it etc. Turns out he's a fan of the games too. I tell ya this thing is a real icebreaker. :v:

I wish the hoodie wasn't so heavy. And made poorly. I'd wear mine more if it was lighter.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;39915747]I wish the hoodie wasn't so heavy. And made poorly. I'd wear mine more if it was lighter.[/QUOTE] I have the first generation one, I like how thick it is. I wear a tee, the hoodie and a leather jacket and that's usually enough for this time of the year.

I was the only one in the school to comment as it wasn't based off cod or fifa and therefore no one else had any idea.

Plus the stripe on the side is incredibly poorly made.

It's always pretty fun to run into someone with the same hoodie. I ran into a guy once wearing a black one and I had mine on. Just one of those cool "whoa" moments.

It's still by far the best hoodie I've ever bought.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;39916129]I have the first generation one too. But it's super thick, I hate it. Plus the stripe on the side is incredibly poorly made.[/QUOTE] Man do we really have the same thing? I love mine. Wear it virtually every day.
