[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

[Deleted]

Flip that around and you have one of the deadliest wasps out there.

Still not as horrible as a flying spider with a stinger that loves to hit people.


Oooh that reminds me, i never picked up my rewards from the last operation.
Oh bugger, it have timed out.

[Nerraw]

Oh, and notice the new times. EU players will be able to participate Friday night.

I never got a commendation pack from last time...
Got the victory but no N7 weapon... really low on those upgrades (and still haven't even seen the Valiant) :\

[Adam Jensen]

personally control ending was the way to go, the ultimate sacrifice was needed and I was aware of that. never hesitated...
seeing my shepard trouhg that...i was kind of happy, i knew it ended and it would never happens again, because of me.

Control is a really good ending.

Finally.

"Leviathan can join Shepard's fight against the other Reapers, presumably becoming a War Asset."
OH HELL YES!

Now to be utterly sad that we wont get a cinematic where it joins the Sword and fights the other reapers in the space over Earth.

[Grizzly Willy]

Very excited. Wonder if there's going to be a new squad member as well. That life support room has been a bit empty.

Its been a bit void of life.

[rhorle]

And there is that.
Its cheap.
You get a great teammate with the ultimate solution to all problems in life for the price of a pizza.
Complete with fully fledged cutscenes, a return to eden prime and the rifle that MELTS YOUR ENEMIES!

The DLC is so fucking metal.

I'd rather have pizza then buy a companion for a game personally.

It also ends a whole day earlier since it ends 10 am pst on sunday.

[Korgoth]

I wish they'd do post ending DLC instead. One where you play a squad member on the Normandy finding your way through the aftermath; and one where Shepard wakes up in the rubble and sets up a 4th game.

Because screw the MMO! I want a ME4 with Shepard.

I'm not sure what one has to do with the other, but the shitstorm would be massive if they went back on what they've been saying all this time (that Shepard's story would end with ME3). I wouldn't mind it, but I'd much prefer an entirely new cast to get to know and love.

[Grizzly Willy]

I'm very doubtful that there will be a Mass Effect 4 with Shepard. It simply can't be done given the ending of ME3. My Shepard survived the game because that was the action that I felt my Shepard would have taken, so that's my head-cannon as it were. Other people people have different endings that they picked that are different enough that reconciling all of them to work in a new game would be such a massive undertaking that I quite frankly don't see Bioware being able to handle.

That, too. I don't see how they could do it. I mean, I suppose they could make the "Shepard Lives" ending canon and go from there, but that would be a terrible choice, in my opinion, as it would basically make any choices people without that ending chose irrelevant (and even some with that ending since save importing wouldn't be doable, at least as far as story goes). There are other ways around it, but they all involve something so ridiculously convoluted that I just don't see it as being feasible. It would make much more sense for BioWare to stick to their original plan of ME3 being the end of Shep's story, and ME4 introducing a new cast. As much as I love my Shepard, it just doesn't make sense for her to be around any longer.

Head cannon isn't official cannon. Bioware doesn't have to reconcile a bunch of differences as they would just pick a cannon ending. Its why the story of Shepard is done. So they can start with a fresh decision/choice tree instead of having to carry everything over. They just pick the "cannon" path if it is set in the future. They still have to pick a cannon path even if it is set in the past as some things won't be able to be changed and still need to be true. Though that rarely is a problem for prequels.

Guys, take a look at this: http://kotaku.com/5924980/take-a-loo...ct-3s-next-dlc

MP DLC I assume? If so, not interested. :/

[CrossNgen]

Indeed it is, but I still suggest looking into it, it has nice new models,skins and weapons that look awesome.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

Yeah I've seen those details before in this thread but it's MP stuff so I'm not interested in the least. I really wish they'd stop cranking out MP DLC so much and make some new Overlord/LotSB type DLC for singleplayer.

Well,it was already confirmed; the Leviathan DLC is in development, so now you just need to wait. My guess? we'll be getting a trailer at SDCC.

I couldn't agree more. MP is a nice "extra" for the game. I fell in love with ME due to the SP, not MP. And I can only hope for another DLC with the quality and content that LotSB had. Don't let me down again, Bioware.
