Mass Effect series discussion

[F8AL]

Glad you enjoyed it. I remember that whole final stretch just feels...wow. Like the first time I went through it, I was like "all right, this is what I worked through the whole game for" and all that jazz.

Fighting Saren from ME1 was more difficult IMO. I ran out of heavy ammo during the final battle in ME2 so I had to use my BR. :v

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite post in the thread.

Now you only have to tell the Council about one thing

I lost to the image.

Great that you had a great time, lol. I remember my first time completing it.

I was screaming 'LIVE, MATES, LIVE!'. You really don't know what's going to happen, even if I did save everyone in both of my playthroughs, lol.

Now we don't have to spoiler tag ME2 stuff now, yeah? YEAH!?

^ LOL

Well, you should still spoiler tag the DLC since I have yet to play any of them.

Did you save your crew?

Yup!

 

[Pluvia]

Yeah, I know, and that ain't a Batarian, or something that would be a DLC MP character so...

He has been officially confirmed as being the DLC character.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

MP is so fun wen you play with random people that actually know what were doing.

It's like our minds are all in sync.

 

[F8AL]

I'm going to assume that ME3 picks the paragon ending to ME2 when you shut the illusive man up.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I know he has, I was just referencing potential MP DLC races people were talking about, not trying to say he wasn't.

It picks whatever ending you pick.

The same could be said for all MP games.

It is a rare, yet wonderful and magical occurrence.

And kinda feels like this.

Spoiler

Also, that moment when you're the last man standing (in a party of 4) as a Salarian Infilitrator... AND WIN.

Hold the line, dawg... Hold the line...


Awww yeaaaaaaaah...

 

[F8AL]

I hated it how I had to switch the game disc twice while playing ME2. Like the 2nd time near the end of the game. =/

I think the game data for Omega/Omega 4 relay are tied to Disc 1, and Ilium is tied to Disc 2.

Just something I've noticed. It IS annoying switching discs, but whenever I've gone to get Thane/Samara, HEYO pop in disc 2 pl0x.

Yeah....having ME2 and that ME3's going to be on 1 disc? Aaahh...absolute awesomeness.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

So a relative of mine got ME3 Collector's Edition for my birthday which was yesterday, lol.

It's for PC, though. I guess I'll have to miss out on you guys ;_;

I mean, why split up totally different parts on both discs? I expected the first 50% of ME2 to be on disc 1 and the other 50% to be on the second disc. Not this: switch discs in the middle then again near the end.

=/

Is it gonna be on 1 disc on the 360?

LEAVE, JUST LEAVE! ;-;

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Hey, i didn't ask for it xD

 

[F8AL]

IMO, you should double dip and get the 360 version to play with me and ODIN.

 

[Pluvia]

Is it gonna be on 1 disc on the 360?

No.

Things some of you might not have seen:

Everyone's opinions when you meet Jack, including the characters you can't have at that part like Legion and Samara. Kasumi's not there though because she wasn't released when that video was made.

And here's what everyone says when they die on the Suicide Mission:

http://youtu.be/ZkRxe_R6SqI

Part 2 is in the description, and here's Kasumi dying because she's not in that video:

http://youtu.be/LtS1hQFwKzM

Edit:

Miranda dying is modded though, she can't get killed by the seeker swarms like everyone else.

AWWWW YEAAAAAAH!

I can't wait for the full version. It's gonna be amazin' sauce.

In response to your 1 Disc question F8AL, it's only 1 Disc on PS3, I believe.

 

[O D I N]

So I finally unlocked the Krogan Soldier.

How to play Krogan effectively...

Spoiler

I'm going tank/health buffs, but still, I have enough melee buffs to topple a small city in Silver. It's about smart headbutting. And then charging. Oh, the charging! Nothing is quite as satisfying as bumrushing a Nemesis with their back turned and catapulting them out the window they're facing.'

Also, found this. Oldy, but a goody.

Spoiler

 

[Pluvia]

Does anyone here not know who the DLC squaddie is yet? Because he's pretty much been officially revealed now.

It's a HE? Well, way to just ruin EVERYTHING, Pluvia!!

I don't get it?

 

[LivewiresXe]

8 days, huh? And probably 10 until I get it in the mail from Amazon. This...is gonna be a long week and a half.

 

[F8AL]

Downloading all the DLC now, taking forever. =/

 

[Pluvia]

Yeah LotSB is like well over a Gb if I remember correctly. The good thing about ME DLC is it's actually DLC, even the day 1 character for ME3 isn't on the disc.

 

[F8AL]

Yeah, I just saw that. I'm happy.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, I just saw that. I'm happy.

I won't spoil anything from the DLC, but I WILL say that LOTSB is a LOT of fun and I think you'll enjoy it.

Awesome, good to know.

Just finished DLing everything; including the free stuff. Took like 2.5 hours...

Gonna start a new play through tonight.

 

[Grey Belnades]

8 days, huh? And probably 10 until I get it in the mail from Amazon. This...is gonna be a long week and a half.

I have release date shipping so hopefully I get it Tuesday.

Lucky you, the Canadian version of Amazon doesn't have that.

 

[Pluvia]

All the DLC costumes will carry over, but now you can remove the helmets in ME3, like so:

Also you get these outfits for playing the ME3 demo apparently:

Spoiler

There's also pics of them wearing nothing but their underwear, obviously for romance scenes, but you'll have to search for those ones yourself cause I'd probably be skirting the rules by posting them.

 

[Master Xanthan]

All the dlc armor transfers over? Dang I'll never get the collector armor or the rifle......

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Yesssss...

 

[Pluvia]

I haven't got the Terminus or the Collector, but maybe there'll be another chance to get it for ME3 eh.

Edit:

I managed to find a direct source with spoilers oddly. I only asked about Miranda though, as she was only lightly touched upon in the leaks, and Kasumi because I heard her role in the game was different from the leaks. It wasn't.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Yeah I don't have terminus armor either, which is unfortunate because it looks really good, plus I imagine the stats are probably really good too.

 

[F8AL]

Gonna try ME2 on hardcore difficulty.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I'm on insanity, lol.

 

[F8AL]

How is insanity for vanguards? I'm currently level 25/26. (Can't remember atm.)

 

[sakuraZaKi]

You'll die a lot in certain situations. No joke.

It's nice to just keep dying until you finally figure out a way to get past something, though (or just get past it by some divine intervention), lol. You really get a feel to appreciate the Charge, a horrible power or not. Just bring along a good shotgun.

Unless BW changed the enemy AI in some ungodly way, I can imagine the Vanguard's Charge becoming much better with ME3's dodge system and with the 100% shield recharge from what Pluvia said.
