[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;29255288]Yeah. But since it has been brought up, You starts to wonder what else the Protheans might have exaggerated. Hell, Might even turn out that the Reapers were created by the Protheans in some way[/QUOTE] I thought it was explicitly stated that the Reapers have excited for several million years prior to the Protheans, if not longer?

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;29255413]Ah, I see. Had a feeling, just wanted to make sure I was on the right page ;D.[/QUOTE] Sure you did.
I just realized that he was fucking with me too. I just played through Arrival. Asshole.

@Cree8ive and BreenIsALie: Does this help: [url]http://www.google.com/search?q=kasumi&hl=en&biw=1399&bih=799&gbv=2&tbm=isch&source=lnt&tbs=isz:i&sa=X&ei=-n6rTcTWDuTa0QG4iKz_Aw&ved=0CAkQpwUoAw[/url]
are we past possible ME3 music well i'll leave this here anyway [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl45Qa4ntBw&playnext=1&list=PL67EB6A2C1DB51720[/media]
[QUOTE=jackattack;29250940]oh yeah, sorry. i tried to reply 5 times but my ipod ran out each time. you still get all the characters but no alternative chat options, just the basics. But you should get a PS3, MGS4 and all that. Anyway the're better in my opinion. And please, no "xbox 1s w4y b3tt3r trollololololol!!!!111!!1111"[/QUOTE] I know we were kind of finished with this topic, but seeing as I wasn't around for it I just gotta ask, like with Conrad Verner does it just assume you pointed the gun in his face? And like shiala and those guys do they act as if you'd done the missions/spared them or whatever? I think I might get a PS3, the only annoyance is me having to replace my extensive library of 360 games with PS3 games.
[QUOTE=Cree8ive;29255810]Where do you guys get your cool art avatars? Wondering if there is one of Kasumi :3:[/QUOTE] I have the image saved. Lemme see if Kasumi is there [editline]17th April 2011[/editline] Nope, no Kasumi.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;29257294]I have the image saved. Lemme see if Kasumi is there [editline]17th April 2011[/editline] Nope, no Kasumi.[/QUOTE] It's only mass effect 1 characters

Also to possibly revive the possible ME3 trailer music to go with the one you posted: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pb6MluUMXY[/media]

And like shiala and those guys do they act as if you'd done the missions/spared them or whatever?[/QUOTE] I just want to say this Conrad Verner thing, I swear I did NOT stick the gun in his face the first game, despite importing the ME1 save, he still was all bragging how I did that though, but maybe that was the only way they scripted it. I thought I chose the paragon route and asked him what his wife would think of him being a specter, and he walks away depressed. The other issue I had in ME2 was when I ran into 10th St Reds gangster again, though I thought I shot him in ME1, but maybe he was only presumed dead. Other then that, the rest of the story in ME2 that I loaded from ME1 seemed to be cannon. I think Conrad was just trying to act out, since he spent all that money getting a fake N7 outfit made for him.
The Conrad Verner event is bugged in the save import. It always reads whatever you did as sticking the gun in his face.
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;29254313]Well, At the end of Arrival you talk to Harbinger where he explains that what the Protheans told us were lies and that the Reapers are actually our salvation Pretty surprising Plot twist in preparation for ME3[/QUOTE] Yeah that explains why killing millions by Geth and Collector was a good idea instead of just telling them to kabolt out of there
[QUOTE=dogmachines;29260055]The Conrad Verner event is bugged in the save import. It always reads whatever you did as sticking the gun in his face.[/QUOTE] yeah I always found that kind of weird
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;29250589]I already did. [editline]17th April 2011[/editline] Try again.[/QUOTE] PC users don't remember it started out on XBOX360 and they turn 360 degrees and walk away.
[QUOTE=dogmachines;29260055]The Conrad Verner event is bugged in the save import. It always reads whatever you did as sticking the gun in his face.[/QUOTE] You think they would have released a patch by now.
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;29252818]That would be fun Oooh Phaedon, You did do nicely with the Mass Effect 3 Trailer Voiceover...[/QUOTE] I still have to buy a good mic so I can actually record something myself. [editline]18th April 2011[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T47aheRgeRI[/media] Keeper, Jacob, Tali threesome.
[QUOTE=phaedon;29251037]Yeah, if you have a PS3, I think that it would be a better idea to buy ME2 for it instead of the 360 or the PC. It has all of the DLC except for Arrival and it has slightly better graphics. But if you already have ME2, then it's not really worth it, imo.[/QUOTE] If you don't have too good of a PC I suppose the PS3 version would be best, but overall playing the trilogy on PC is the best experience. [editline]18th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MaverickIB;29253415]It's just ME2 assets on the ME3 engine. So lighting and whatnot might be a tad different, but the models and quality of graphics don't magically look better when changing engines. Put Halo 1 assets in the Halo Reach engine and they'll still look old and shitty. They had probably already been working on getting the ME3 engine to work on PS3's, so it was a wiser decision to simply put ME2 assets in it and port it that way instead of going back and trying to get the ME2 engine to work on the PS3.[/QUOTE] Halo 1 still has the best looking spark effects out of any game I've played, even though they're just sprite animations. [editline]18th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=ForgottenKane;29254378]Just a clarification: The PS3 hardware CAN support coloured lighting. It's just that the nature of the graphics cards in them is to last a long time (why you don't need to change the card on a console, but you do for a PC) and coloured lighting wears the card down faster than it should. Some games take advantage of that feature, but it's rare.[/QUOTE] If it was made to last, why didn't they put a current-model GPU on it when making it? The one they have was already one or two generations old by the time the console was released. they're supposed to use the Cell which is the biggest processing advantage the PS3 has, but that would require a major engine rewrite to fully utilize it
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;29250589]I already did. [editline]17th April 2011[/editline] Try again.[/QUOTE] Nope. It's initial dev and deploy platform was PC and the 2006 principle concept demo was PC. It was picked up as Xbox 2005 exclusive because of the strength of the vision and the fact it was planned from the beginning to be a trilogy, thus another feather in the microsoft lineup. This is well before Demiurge would have had anything to do with game, and I'm not talking about the PC port, I'm talking about the initial [I]design platform.[/I]
[QUOTE=doommarine23;29257294]I have the image saved. Lemme see if Kasumi is there [editline]17th April 2011[/editline] Nope, no Kasumi.[/QUOTE] :saddowns: Can I have a look on them if possible? Curious since I love the art.

[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;29254449]Turns out that the Galactic core is going critical in a massive supernova, The reapers are our salvation by giving us a ride out of the doomed galaxy. The Protheans mistook them for what they looked like , A massive invasion fleet, instead of an rescue fleet and declared war. The reapers had to defend themselves[/QUOTE] But..... But they kidnapped hundreds of thousands of humans to build a Human-Reaper-Larva! Also: "Human. You've changed nothing. Your species has the intention of those infinitely your greater. That which you know as Reapers are your salvation through destruction." That doesn't sound like a "we're here to rescue all organic life." And to add to that, Sovereign said: "We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it."

At least, that's the kind of stuff I would say. Not like some "misunderstood race of tragic heroes."
The Collectors were a stupid threat anyway, they couldn't have possible threatened earth with their shitty forces
