Mass Effect series discussion

So guys, should I post up the leak images?

Also the first half of the demo is all story, it must be like 70 or 80% cutscenes, but the awesome music at the end makes up for it.

The music's shaping up to be really good and will live up to people's expectations. Bits from the Voice Cast and FemShep trailers have been stuck in my head.

If you must, hide 'em in one of those text box thingies.

And I just completed Samara's loyalty mission. I wanted to save both of 'em but you can't.

Samara is also easy on the eyes.

I agree Femshep with more footage has me more ampted now.

Pluvia, does the ME3 demo spoil anything from ME2?

 

[Pluvia]

Nah. The 2nd part has mild spoilers for ME3 but that's about it.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Though I never thought it possible, Vanguard is now even worse, and could possibly be worse than the Adept now considering both their buffs in ME3. Vanguard keeps his Charge, which seems to be slightly better but still completely useless, and gets a new power, Nova, which makes the Vanguard punch the ground and produces a biotic shockwave. Now that sounds good but it's tied to how much barrier you have, so if you've got almost nothing the Nova blast is small, and given the fact that your health doesn't regenerate anymore it means charging in is even more stupid. Plus Nova removes your barrier lol.

Argh, why, BW, why!?

A Vanguard is a Soldier/Adept kind of character, right? We should have biotics mixed with guns, not punching the darn ground and charging like a suicide bomber.

 

[F8AL]

Okay, thanks.

When can you guys play co-op with me on Friday? (I don't own BF3 so I gotta wait till the 17th/Friday to play the online co-op in the demo.)

I'm EST btw. 11:12 PM atm.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Nah. The 2nd part has mild spoilers for ME3 but that's about it.

And by "mild spoilers" we mean it shows footage from the second level that's been shown by Bioware back in the late summer/early fall in video form. I kind of like how we haven't seen ANYTHING about that whole "Reaper Base" thing that was the debut gameplay video from E3 since then.

Isn't the Vanguard the "Hit and Run" Character? Doesn't charging in, punching the ground to send people flying, then Charging out kind of well, go with that?


Edit: Why did a post get deleted? This was NOT a double post when I first posted it.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I know that, but I'm just questioning BWs decision to make it a 'Hit and Run' character.

We're already a three-man team running and gunning down things. No need for guerrilla tactics, imo.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Uh...is there any way to delete posts, out of curiosity?

 

[theeboredone]

You have to ask a mod. Don't worry too much about it.

 

[Archangel]

Any news on Sentinal? Any at all? I can't play the goddamn demo yet

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Demo out tomorrow, right? (PST)

My body is ready.

Do we know when uh...today it's going to be available? I'm looking to see when I can get it off PSN.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Well, I just checked the store, and it's not there yet, lol.

 

[Archangel]

I'm guessing it'll be up after 6:00 AM East coast time...simply because it will officially be tomorrow everyone including Hawaii......goddamn it!

 

[Pluvia]

So multiplayer?

AWESOME! It's only waves of bad guys but it's surprisingly fun, and they give you objectives every few waves to keep things interesting.

You can play it now??? What???

And the ME3 demo is now available on the XBLM. (From what I've read.)

I'm down to playing the co-op Friday afternoon if you guys are.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I checked the PSN Store right when I got up today (9:45 EST) and it wasn't up there yet. Anybody who's a PS3 user gotten it yet to debunk me?

 

[F8AL]

Just beat the demo. The first mission = 5 hours of cutscenes and like 10 min of actual gameplay.

Second mission = Decent.

ME3 feels like Gears now. iunno if that's a good or bad thing.

Guess I'll figure out why cereberus hates you in ME2.

 

[LivewiresXe]

They can update the gameplay sure, but as long as the story measures up to ME2, I'm fine with it.

Edit: Oh, and having already seen the Earth part of the demo (or someone playing through it at least), I have to say, the last 4-5 minutes of the Earth bit were really good. Gah, that music.

 

[F8AL]

I wasn't surprised

Spoiler

when the little boy died in the demo. Predictable.

 

[Pluvia]

Guess I'll figure out why cereberus hates you in ME2.

No you wont.

 

[F8AL]

No you wont.

So why are they attacking you in ME3?

 

[Pluvia]

We don't know.

 

[F8AL]

We don't know.

Oh.

Sorry for my assumption.

In ME2, all I need to do is Jacob's and Jack's loyalty missions and some other stuff. 30 hours logged!

 

[sakuraZaKi]

So was this on 360? I guess I can DL it now, but I'm leaving for school soon.

It's also available on the PS3.

Sak, let's play on Friday!

 

[LivewiresXe]

No you wont.

If you're Paragon it's pretty obvious. Plus there was a line in the Surr'Kesh playthrough footage that Bioware shows that gives a reason, but not much more than that.

 

[theeboredone]

A bit of a random q, but are you just playing as the default Sheppard or can you carry your data over?

I'll probably start downloading the demo on PSN (if it's there) in a few hours.

 

[Grey Belnades]

I think you play Deafult Shep.

We don't know.

I know.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Man it take forever to find people in mp, oh well I'll guess I'll just play with friends and not randoms.

 

[theeboredone]

PS3 demo won't be up until 4 pm Pacific

 

[F8AL]

Well you'll have to wait till Friday for when people like me can access the online MP.

 

[Master Xanthan]

ME mp is too good. Much more challenging than Gears 3 horde.

 

[Archangel]

Why is it not out yet on PSN?...THE **** IS THIS BULL****!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pluvia]

Btw there's a glitch in multiplayer at least. The passive abilities for characters, such as the Vanguard and Soldier, actually increase the cooldown timer rather than decrease it. It'll take you to about level 5 or 6 before you get a faster cooldown than if you'd put nothing in it at all.

 

[theeboredone]

Why is it not out yet on PSN?...THE **** IS THIS BULL****!!!!!!!!!

Lol, story of Gamefaqs boards right now. Just chill.

 

[F8AL]

Wait, it's STILL not out on the PSN?

Wow.

 

[theeboredone]

It just got released. It's because Sony updates their PSN store at 7 central. Took another hour to get it online. My internet is crappy, so I won't get a chance to play it until tomorrow morning.
