Mass Effect series discussion

[Grey Belnades]

Woohoo! My ME3 CE has just been shipped!

 

[Mic_128]

Probably not going to get this for a bit. Friggin Origin.

 

[Pluvia]

Think I'll buy my best friend a copy. He can't get one for a couple of months but it'll suck not being able to play multiplayer with him, so I'll grit my teeth get him a copy. He doesn't know about this I'll surprise him.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

You, sir, are a good man. I commend you.

 

[theeboredone]

Someone buy me a copy.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Probably not going to get this for a bit. Friggin Origin.

Is Origin being glitchy or just because you dont like Origin? Both are understandable, especially since Origin has spyware on it.

So I played through the Kingdoms of Amalur (sp?) demo, and got the weapon and armor for ME3. It seemed alright, albeit really MMO-ish. Almost would've bought the full game at some point except well...I accidentally hit the wrong button and wound up smacking a guard in the face, causing everyone in a town to attack me and making me wind up killing 2 quest NPCs in self defense. Only after did I realize I could've just gone to jail for a bit and been fine.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

xD

My brother bought the game. Reminds me of Fable.

I lost hope and interest for the series after 3, so I just got the ME3 stuff and left immediately.

I feel so hype right now. Come on Mar. 6~

ME is nothing like fable

fable is about a nobody becoming a somebody

ME is doing what it takes to save the world, you're already known across the galaxy for being the someone who shouldn't be ****ed with

 

[DtJ Jungle]

That feel when you realize you have no money and can't buy this on release.

Ouch, that's probably the only thing worse than pre-ordering and realizing you have to wait a few more days.

 

[Pluvia]

For me, (I dunno if I've already told you all this but I can't be arsed scrolling back) the company that managed to get exclusive rights for the CE in the whole of the UK, GAME.CO.UK, is experiencing financial difficulties so they cancelled everyone's ME3 pre-order (yeah I don't understand it either) and aren't restocking it.

Fortunately I wasn't working that afternoon and managed to snag a copy from Amazon before it was sold out as the CE was given to a whole range of different companies once GAME cancelled it. GAME usually gave me games 1 day before they came out, and Amazon doesn't, so I'll have to wait until Friday to play this rather than Thursday now.

He's talking about Kingdoms of Amular.

 

[mood4food77]

i haven't played the fable series in a while, kingdoms of amular?

That new game released last month that gives you some armour and a gun for ME3 if you play the demo of it:

Just started going through ME2 again, and it's great. I made a mistake by choosing Liara in the comic, though; Miranda is too good. Will going with her come back to bite me in the butt?

Also, are any of the ME novels worth reading?

 

[theeboredone]

To see people on the ME3 board on gamefaqs rage over the slightest spoiler is rather hilarious.

Everything but Deception.

Deception is written by the worst author in existence. He completely ignores any and all pre-existing canon for Mass Effect, and just ruins the good stories the other books had.

The other books were written by a lead writer for the Mass Effect series before he recently retired.

 

[Archangel]

We playing Mass Effect 3 right now

 

[LivewiresXe]

Curse you when I have to wait like another 48 hours...

 

[Grey Belnades]

Got my CE already. I didn't expect it to be well packaged (one box, two cases).

 

[sakuraZaKi]

For PC players:

http://www.alienwarearena.com/giveaway/mass-effect-3-giveaway

Free sniper rifle.

No ME3 in the mail. Knew this would happen.

 

[LivewiresXe]

So to those that got it, I take it the full game's as good as the rest of us are hoping it will be?

 

[sakuraZaKi]

So apparently, Target isn't going to ship it until the 19th.

What. The. ****.

So, I just had it canceled and now am going to get it somewhere else.

I'll be the first to tell you it is not....

Spoiler

IT'S WAAAAAAAY BETTER!!!!!!! This might be the best game I have ever played in my life!!! and I have played 2,104 games!!!

ME Bros it is time to set aside our PS3 vs Xbox War to fight a Common Enemy!

 

[sakuraZaKi]

To anyone who has the CE:

Is it worth it? I'm not a fan of artbooks, so what's in the CE that's not in the regular?

I feel so free right now, lol. This sucks.

 

[Grey Belnades]

I've decided to NOT play ME3 till they fix the import save face bug. I can't have my Shep look like Default Shep.

Personally, it was worth it.

CE has:
Collector's Edition cover box
Tin disc case
N7 patch
2x4 Normandy Lithogram
Artbook (which I didn't expect to be small and hardcover)
ME comc
Download code for the ME3 OST
Download code for

Spoiler

Prothean

Normandy prop for your avatar
In-game N7 jacket for your Shep
Alternative squad-mate costumes
A robo-dog

 

[LivewiresXe]

Wait, the soundtrack is digital and NOT a CD? Crap...I can't listen to it on my PC then...

 

[Grey Belnades]

Yeah, I was bummed out about it but I can at least download the OST to add to my Zune since my PC can't read discs.

 

[Archangel]

*Hours later* ****! This game reminds me of some old RPG's more so than ever. It's like Suikoden games how you make choices to get people on your side and such. I admit I was PISSED when my face code failed but it was actually easy to make my character again. I even improved him in some ways. So yeah...stop being *****es! there are hundreds if not thousands of people who would KILL to have the chance to play now. In honor of those poor people's sufferings you should suck it up and just play.

 

[Pluvia]

Apart from my female playthrough Shep, I care more about playing the game than my facecode.

Calm down guy, I'll play it when I want to. Besides, still have to fix up my ME2-ME3 playthrough.

Can't stop laughing.

Hahahahahahaha~

 

[Pluvia]

So I guess Mood discovered spoiler squadmate #2.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Well, since mood's posting story bits, I guess I'm out of here for a while.

 

[O D I N]

Yeah, at least spoiler tag it.

Any chance we can get a mod in here?
