[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

[Deleted]

So uh, does anyone still play the ME3 Multiplayer? Also, does the galactic readiness for TMS carry over? Like, assuming I got a few matches in, if I start a new character, do the multiplayer matches carry over.

The readiness you see at the start screen is the TMS you have.
But it wont matter how much you have until you start the attack on cerberus.
So you can farm up it just prior.

Wipe out several races via inaction.

I gave the rachni queen an acidbath just last night.
Wonderful.

BioWare studio director Yanick Roy recently described the next Mass Effect game’s development status as being "somewhere in the middle."

Want E3. Now.

I quickly remembered how much fun Mako exploration was. Trying to get everything before I go on to the next game. Fuck these 85 degree mountain faces.

Im glad they got rid of that one element of ME1 in sequels. I can rush past the main plot in ME1 in 7-8 hours if i ignore those but it bumps up to ~25 hours with it

Nodacrux and company in the maroon sea is the worst though, i don't know what the designer was thinking when designing those.

Never did an evil playthrough. What exactly happens in it?

Eh, im not sure id call shepard "evil". He is ruthless and calculating while a renegade but he never really takes that step towards pure evil imo.

So over the passed few days, for a few hours been replaying the trilogy, NG+ on insanity, decided I would start with Vanguard on ME1 (Never played Vanguard on ME1, always adept, infiltrator, soldier). Man, I'm so used to biotic charge and not having it on ME1 was crazy. Saved my ass so many times on ME2.

I do hope they don't follow the same route for vanguard/adept in ME3. 2 button mashing = win. Although Charge > Nova was fun, got kinda boring.

The Mako was a treat, but the exploration was shit.

Dont imply you dont enjoy ramming geth colussi with it so they fall over in a very, very sad manner.

Or better yet dragging the corpse for a good mile or so :P

Shepard yells at everyone and is just an overall ass. Just play the first 30 mins of ME1 and you'll see.

Renegade is just the asshole version.
Considering that a lot of lives are saved by taking the renegade options, its silly to call it evil.

Everything is for the greater good.

It also leads to a lot more hilarious things being said. "How can you say she is not bad, she is with Geth and pointing a gun at us".

Just started my 2nd playthrough, and i gotta say, sentinel is fun as hell. The throw is an awesome ability, especially when you get the talent so it throws 2 balls, instead of one.

2nd playthrough.

Anyone feeling old yet?

[zealo]

Anyone feeling old yet?

A bit yeah.

My ME3 copy in Origin sits at ~320 hours with multiplayer included.

I've finished ME3 5 times, each time about 50 hours /played.
ME2 6 times, each time about 60 hours /played.
ME1... 15 times, I think, each time about 50 hours /played.

So it is about 1350 hours or so. My poor real life...

So far, ME has been the only game close enough to even being in contention with my League and WoW time played. I have Pokemon Y with around 200 hours put in. Pokemon Emerald still holds the title of all Pokemon games with almost 900 hours played.

I don't even want to know how many hours i have logged in WoW over the last 9 years, but i know for sure it surpass 5000, most likely more.

That is the definition of a true timesink game.

Made a decent number of friends playing, but in retrospect to it im so fucking glad im free from it.

Last i checked, my warlock had 364 days worth of playing time.

Replaying ME1 i noticed something very odd.
A thin strand runs by Jokers throat and makes it look like his beard (and the skin its attached to) is fake and was just plastered onto his face.

Never knew Joker had surgery to attach facial hair.

I wouldn't put it past him. I mean he already does a questionable number of things while piloting a ship.

I haven't played much WoW or LoL, but without them ME seems to be one of the leaders in time consumption. Well, I would estimate the top of the list like this:

Starcraft 2 - 2000 hrs.
Mass Effect series - 1350 hrs.
Doom 1/2 - 1200 hrs.
Age of Empires 1/2 - 1000 hrs.
KotoR 1/2 - 600 hrs.
Dragon Age 1/2 - 500 hrs.

I have no life.

[-aiko-]

I have no life.

Xfire has me clocked at over 4000 hours of Counter-Strike 1.6....

...and I didn't always have Xfire open.

I don't how I managed it...I even had a few boyfriend/girlfriends during a lot of that time. Yay me!

Edit: I'm starting to see why my relationships don't last. Halp!
