[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

[Deleted]

I'm being oppressed.

ME3 and the series as a whole is def. my favorite RPG but I keep thinking how much better it could've been had they added some more things and gotten rid of Star Kid.

So guys.

I think Shepard was indoctrinated.

[Nerraw]

You say that as if he wasn't always.

[Kaelwryn]

Gravath has turned to the dark side

I thought he was always on the dark side

I actually preferred the planetary exploration of ME1 myself. It really captured the desolation of space and you could get in/out of the Mako as well as monitor your oxygen supply. I'll bet whatever system ME4 comes up with will be more similar to that the other two versions.

Oxygen supply? Am I getting old and losing my mind?

Not oxygen, I misspoke, but similar in gameplay for all intents and purposes

Loved the ME series!

Question though, what is this "IT" thing people are talking about, I've gone back like 10 pages!

I am wondering, after playing the whole series on my xbox, what is the difference when you play ME3 without the save game of the first 2 games? Does it assume everybody died at the end of 2 or.....

probably talking about the indoctrination theory

Which it is time for again, the circle must continue.

So why would the "Destroy yourself" reaper signal also cause the geth to blow up?

To be honest, in all 14 of the playthroughs I've done. I haven't done the default run. So I am not entirely sure.

Just some joke from Bioware forums some people took too seriously.

Here is a good rundown on that:

Basically, yeah, everyone dies, except for ME3 companions and a few core characters, such as Joker and Chackwas.

Because space magic and hastily written deus ex machina!

[Rukh]

I've been playing a ton of ME3 multiplayer. I don't know, I just find it to be a lot more fun than any other multiplayer. I enjoy the cooperative aspect and its got a lot of room to tinker with builds and try out interesting ideas to see if they work.

[Very Tired]

Indeed, something is quite attractive about the multi-player even though it seems like it should be boring given the overview.

Or because the geth were made into part reapers in Mass Effect 3. Which is nothing close to the actually meaning of Deus ex machina.

[thewallofsleep]

If you're a fan of Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica or any other sci-fi, then prepare yourself for 100+ hours of pure awesomesauce.

It is hands down my favorite video game series ever.

And get all the DLC, it's worth it. Especially Lair of the Shadow Broker and Arrival for ME2 and Leviathan and From the Ashes for 3 (Javik is fucking amazing.) Citadel is pretty funny, but it's better for longtime fans like myself and Omega's good, but not as great as the other DLCs.

I 100% agree. Also make sure to download the free "Extended Cut" DLC for ME3, unless it's already included in the base game at this point.

Because in order to disable the Reapers you must disable the AI that controls them (The Catalyst),and since the Crucible releases that energy throughout the entire galaxy it also disables EDI,the Geth and any other VI's/AI's out there.
