Mass Effect Megathread - Ah, yes, titles. We have dismissed that claim - Games

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30715927]So are you just visiting China or what? Also you should get Chrome.[/QUOTE] I'm Chinese, but born and raised my entire life in Norway. My main browser is Chrome, so yeah, but it wouldn't install for some reason. (Keep in mind, China is not a big fan of google).

How nice is China over there, by the way?

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;30712617]Um, yeah they sucked compared to the first game, because they were overpowered in the first game. It sucks that you actually have to use some kind of tactics when it comes down to using powers and can't just win the game by spamming one power? Good god, stop the presses, they need to be put on trial for such a travesty. How hard is it, really? Take Miranda, Garrus, Mordin, hell anyone with a power that targets shields/armor/biotic barriers. Use squaddies to take down barriers, then let loose with your own powers and wreck everyone's shit. Oh my god, that's so hard and totally makes Shepard look weak. He totally can't just mindfuck enemies and make them fight each other or anything like that. I think the only power I've used in my latest playthrough so far is dominate. Squaddies take care of the rest. lol revenant isn't even that powerful. Soldier is actually fairly difficult on Insanity because you have to expose yourself in order to do damage. Adepts and everyone else can sit behind cover and toss powers out from behind it. I don't think it's a case of adepts being bad, I think it's a case of you being bad. You obviously had no idea how to play the game as an adept because you expected it to be easy mode like in ME1.[/QUOTE] Adept's in ME1 weren't overpowered, their attacks [B]hardly[/B] did any damage. If you wanted to kill someone you still had to hose them down with bullets

Is there anyway else to get Bring Down the Sky? The links [url=http://masseffect.bioware.com/me1/galacticcodex/bringdownthesky_pc.html]here[/url] are well, dead.

Not dead for me. Are you using a current account? Steam or retail? [URL]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=786714[/URL] Looks like you have to contact EA support directly, they'll give you a code.

The links there are dead. Redirects me to the BioWare homepage. Not talking about the download mirrors.

See above. (for steam)

You gave me the same link I posted :doh: Anyway, the links are dead because of this [url]http://support.ea.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5374/kw/mass%20effect/showhome/true[/url]

it could also be due to the fact that the nwn forums are still down and you access your bring down the sky CD key from a page there.

I might be late but Arvuti, your avatar is evil. Aswell on the biotic OP discussion, they shoud let biotics affect people with armor, just not as much as without. I understand shields and biotic barriers can block those attacks but armor, it's like the only way you can effect people is by attacking them while they're naked.

Well fuck. I was thinking about buying the Arrival DLC, so I went to log in the BioWare social thing. Last time I tried to use it I had trouble with something when redeeming the cerberus code - I can't remember what it was exactly, but I've always used the same account and it doesn't say I've redeemed it. Now when I try, it says my code has already been redeemed, and I'll have to pay 1200 BioWare points (about £10) just to be able to pay an extra 600-and-something to then buy the DLC. I can't really justify spending that much. A similar thing happened to me with the BF2 complete edition a couple of years ago, I entered the redemption code for the two content packs on the site the launcher links you to, but that's the old EA store page, so when I found the new (current) one it said the code had already been redeemed. Is it worth spending £15 on the Arrival DLC? I can't see it being worth it.

So, how's mec coming along? Any updates?

[QUOTE=Cree8ive;30715883]You do realize most of the parts that people use are manufactured in China, and assembled together in the US, right?
