Mass Effect Megathread: He said "I should go." Do I sound like that? - Games

i love how dorky and enthusiastic sara ryder is and how no one really takes her seriously she doesn't know how to be this pathfinder thingy and it shows, but damn if she's not trying such a needed change from super siriouz 100% badass professional shepard

[vid]https://files.catbox.moe/88e9ex.webm[/vid] I see Mass Effect is just like I remember it.

I am pretty sure that Scott Ryder is just doing a Mulder impersonation

just did [sp]vetra's loyalty mission[/sp] , how do i get off this fucking asteroid? I've been ramming the tempest but there's no prompt to get on board, and there's no fast travel option for it either. I've been stuck for the past half hour doing donuts and exhausting the squad banter. how do into leave rock???££??

[QUOTE=27X;52007423]The charger X is also equal to the hurricane I and the hurricane still has a better ammo application chance, and since when has the avenger ever been anything but garbage [B]ever[/B]. I said assault [I]rifles[/I], not the avenger, because that's like saying pick Claw as your first street fighter character. No one uses the avenger except for mastery points, and they never have. Been racking up enough money to get every character except hammersis and the salarian op to VI or better, pretty sure I've got a decent handle on weapon balance.[/QUOTE] Both the Charger and the Avenger are starting weapons. The Charger, a pistol, does a better job at being an assault rifle than the Avenger, an assault rifle. It doesn't matter how shitty its been a sub gun shouldn't be out preforming an assault rifle as an assault rifle. On top of that who is Claw? I don't particularly play much Street Fighter but do you mean Vega?

[QUOTE=RikohZX;52005099]It's pretty obvious the game was written in a way to try to ignore some of these logical problems. It's especially jarring given that (late/endgame plot spoilers apparently) [sp]there's apparently a Quarian ark on the way since they were late to launching with the rest of the Initiative, so god only knows when they left in relation to the ME2/3 timeframe.[/sp][/QUOTE] In the books, the Quarians peaced out before everyone else did, not long after the events of ME1. There is a section in the books where Anderson has to board a Quarian ship heading out of the galaxy to put a gifted human on board to protect her from Cerberus.

[QUOTE=ihatecompvir;51994882]Damn, I've had ME1 and 2 on Steam for years now and I haven't really played them (got to Feros on ME1, ran into a game breaking bug, and didn't pick it back up) and I decided to play and finish them. I'm now currently a good ways into ME2 after having played ME1 in two days. Games are fantastic. Hopefully ME3 is also good, and then I may pick up Andromeda as well.[/QUOTE] I know I'm two days late to commenting on this but I'm doing the same sort of thing. I paid $5 for Origin Access with the plans to run through the entire Mass Effect series and a couple of other games. I've played through 2 already, but I started off there without a ME1 character and not knowing about certain space racists and whatnot. Taking a quick break to play my 10 hours of Andromeda though. Still debating on whether or not to take it seriously or use default femryder because it's installing right now

The hurricane is a better assault rifle than the avenger and hornet [I]combined[/I], if that's the tact you want to take, and that's hoiw ME has been since day one. The highest dps weapon in ME1 is a pistol, and a heavy weapon only available to soldiers in me2, and the four highest in me3 sp are locked behind a paywall. None of that changes shotguns and snipes have many many more bad choices than good ones, unlike ARs and [subweapons], and those good choices are much MUCH stronger than the bad ones, which is actually the point.

Finally finished ME3. Usually movie/tv/game endings make me sad because it's saying goodbye to beloved characters or a universe. This ending made me sad because the games built up so much, but then disappointed me with a lackluster ending. I knew not to expect much after reading what people have said, but even then I felt kind of ripped off.

The starter weapons. I don't understand what is so hard about understanding the Avenger is worse at its role as an assault rifle than a sub weapon in the starting weapons category in multiplayer. Stop bringing in unlocks to this.

The one not paying attention is you. Maybe you should go to the original post, because ignoring ME's staple setup [I]even in SP[/I] of 'ditch the avenger immediately for any other weapon' hasn't changed. It's entire purpose is 'the gun that shows guns in ME work' and that's it. Secondly: Charger: D:36 Non Zoom Acc: 45% RoF:650 Avenger D:52 NZA: 52% RoF 525 Since both weapons are in the same category they have the [I]same bonus growth rate on damage and accuracy[/I] (33%), so factoring in reload times the charger wins in exactly one category (magazine size) until such time as BW sees fit to change the stats of weapons through balance passes. So if you're done thinking your opinion > facts, we can move on.

[sp]The vault on Voeld was kinda disappointing after the one on Eos, but I'm really enjoy in this planet [/sp]

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;52008620][sp]The vault on Voeld was kinda disappointing after the one on Eos, but I'm really enjoy in this planet [/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]i got stuck for a while on the console puzzle because it lead nowhere then i realized that it indeed lead nowhere because it was just an optional path to get more items i was more disappointed because voeld looked gorgeous with the blizzard and just meh without it. still enjoy the planet and all the angaran buildings on it though[/sp]

The Architect was a lot cooler than I thought, but I'm hoping not every one of them is the same.

Anyone else having a problem with the 'Strike Team' screen not responding to anything other than changing to another tab? Like, either pressing the hotkeys or clicking the buttons doesn't seem to do a damn thing, they work in the other tabs just fine, but I can't do shit on that one tab, the tab that fucking allows me to equip my teams with shit and recruit new ones.

So uhm yeah I found a remnant starship wreckage exploring a system and from it I looted Asari comm pieces and Quarian spaceship parts. that makes sense /s

Is it just me or is multiplayer broken right now? I keep getting booted out of games. :s:

[QUOTE=WhySoSeriouz;52009033]Is it just me or is multiplayer broken right now? I keep getting booted out of games. :s:[/QUOTE] You could just be getting bad hosts/personal ISP problems. Just hopped in a match so I'll let you know if I get booted. Well I immediately just got stuck trying to jump and not going anywhere and I was mauled by a Fiend. This is actually lagging really badly.

Why does the game half my frames in conversations. I go from 45-60fps in 4k to 25. On. A. Gtx. 1080. And I have most settings on medium

Basically everything on ultra with a 980. So I dunno, it runs remarkably well compared to what I had in the trial. I'm guessing that you've already updated your drivers and all that nonsense?

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;52009639]Is it normal for my character to be freezing in the vault of Voeld? I can't seem to do much when my character rapidly runs out of life support in there.[/QUOTE] If I remember correctly you're supposed to run into those glowing bubbles to bring your heat back up.

I haven't had my quests be over ridden yet thankfully

I love the kett leaders big dumb sad looking face so much, he just looks so upset in his first cutscene, like a sad fish

So I fell down a hole in Kadara vault and for some reason the game respawned me in the Nomad :v: [t]http://i.imgur.com/uOG9PBx.jpg[/t] I really like how you can get the planet viability up rather easily, I was under impression that you would have to do these grindy radiant tier quests where you just scan resources or take out prefab outposts, but fortunately that content is entirely optional, you can do just fine by doing a few odd one here and there and focusing on the bigger missions / placing forward stations.

First crash fighting the architect :(

how can I stop my character (SP and MP) from continuing to sprint forever after tapping sprint? I have it set to held only and it still just keeps them sprinting forever. Its really annoying and makes me feel like I have no control over my character.
