[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

I was very dissapointed in the miranda story, she was my big love intrest in ME2 and all i got was a couple of talks and a farwell...

There is just way too much stuff that hasn't been answered. I feel like i played half a game and that they just rushed to sell it asap. Sucks big time !

When a game has a 3 on the end the sad truth is that it has long turned into a cash cow and the developers/publishers don't give 2 fucks about satisfying the loyal fans because the fans are going to buy the game regardless. That's the truth and that's how they handle it.

@ita Reverse engineering the Mass Effect relays would be impossible. They didn't mention this in the ending, but in theory, there's another plot hole with Mass Effect. You have all organic races in the sol system, with no access to FTL travel. The sol system is very barren on resources, especially with how fucked up Earth is. That means you have 6 species with the resources of less than 1. They'd last a fucking week before turning on each other due to lack of food. And with conventional travel, it'd take hundreds of years to reach a habitable planet.

So in theory, all organics die no matter what.

The protheans say hello while pointing at their conduit.

I disagree. Gaming...a truly well-put together game is never about the money, and don't forget, the developers and writers are the real ones who make it. Not the company as a whole. It's obvious someone put a ton of love and care into creating this game. It comes out in the tiny details...that woman you pass in the commons talking about leaving her husband for an asari lover. The two parents talking about raising their child. The detail put into every mission that makes them twist and turn just enough emotionally to bring a tear or a smile to your face.

I've played a good hundred video games and out of those, the Mass Effect series, all 3 games, will stand out as examples of a game the developers loved.

Sappiness aside, this was always planned to be a trilogy provided the previous installments worked out. Always. It was said from the beginning. Each game left off at the right moment to set the stage for the next. There is no "cash cow" involved here. Once this one is over...it's done.

The reapers brought the Citadelle to Earth. Hell that was convenient LoL.

Anyway it looks like there is 16 possible ending but really there is only 3 major trends and little variations on any of thoses. Hoping to see a chart soon.

and
the "Space hamster"
Are there actualy any referances or something like that?

**Northern Goblin** · 2012-03-10, 11:48 PM

There's tons of Easter Eggs in the series. Especially Conrad Verner who is a competionist's dream as he makes a load of pointless sidequest stuff from ME1 suddenly utterly vital.

There's also jokes referring to common memes by Shepard and his squad and lots of references back to events in previous games.

Whereas the base game is far far harder, there's certainly less of a spread between the difficulties.

And for the love of god Bioware let me make use of my keyboard. I am sick of randomly rolling about and dicking in and out of cover.

**Flextt** · 2012-03-10, 11:52 PM

Anyone also barged in on Garrus and Tali making out in the main battery?

**Northern Goblin** · 2012-03-11, 12:16 AM

Spoiler tag that stuff. But yes, and it's absolutely hilarious.

**Bluegirl91** · 2012-03-11, 12:47 AM

Only time in my life I felt similiar to watching the ending movie here was... watching the ending of Lost. lol

Really... the endings got something to them, yeah... philosophic questions, yeah... but too many questions unanswered, too many loose ends, all in all, just unsatisfying and not worthy for this series.

Maybe a few minutes of showing what happened after the chosen events would have sufficied. Like some parties on earth, what happens with all your comrades, maybe showing how you live on with your romance partner etc...

I never thought I'd say this - but I want my generic "Happily Ever After" ending. Drinking with Garrus, living on with your LI, etc, etc.

You're right, there was no closure to it. And it's just a shame it had to end that way, because the rest of the game was phenomenal.

**MmoFanatic** · 2012-03-11, 02:10 AM

god damn the ending sucks so much i got so mad that u just quit the game att the ending cutscene worst 60 euros ever spent

**wombinator04** · 2012-03-11, 02:27 AM

How do I put spoiler tags?

**wombinator04** · 2012-03-11, 02:36 AM

What really annoyed me Is on how Tali kills herself after I sided with the Geth and all of her fleet got destroyed. Oh wah wah my fleet got destroyed because my people are really stupid and pretty much started the war with the Geth(I'm assuming I'm right about that) so I'm just going to remove my mask and not let Shepard see my face and then jump off a cliff and kill myself! I never liked the Quarians or Tali anyways. Their human space chickens with annoying voices.

You better take that back! I LOVE TALI!!!!

**rol3x** · 2012-03-11, 02:39 AM

I was having an amazing time through the whole thing, epic fights and important choices that I really felt torn on and guilty about the repercussions. Then that ending.
I cant even run the game anymore, I like the multiplayer but I just cant bring myself to play it over something else I know its just a game but it feels like betrayal.

Yea that didn't happen for me. I made peace and the Geth helped the Quarians rebuild

Yeah I heard there were different outcomes. But damn that was really annoying.

You can still side with them, and avoid her to kill herself. At least, I did it...
