BTW guys. New MP DLC to be released next week + Prothean Particle Rifle added to MP (Ultra Rare)

[darthYENIK]

I got a quick question. Is there any advantage to buying Mass Effect 1 new? Is there a stupid EA code with a new version, as opposed to a used one, like ME2 and 3?

Nope there is no code with Mass Effect 1, that came out before their $10 project rubbish.

 

Get the classic edition instead of the normal edition and it will come with a free DLC mission pack .

[darthYENIK]

Cool. The reason I ask this is because I rented ME1 way back when, and beat it in 5 days (I didn't have a job). I used that game save when I bought ME2. Played ME2 once, and decided I had the opportunity to play through this whole thing unsullied. One play through for each game, by the skin of my teeth. So now I get ME3 and realize that those saved games from before somehow didn't survive my transition to a new Xbox. So there goes about 5 years of waiting down the drain. So I guess I'm just gonna have to have a marathon run of all three games.

 

EDIT: Holy sh*t! My saved games are in the cloud! I completely forgot about the damn cloud! This is awesome. And I got ME1 before I found this out. Oh well I've been meaning to get it anyway.

Sorry for the double post but I beat the game. And I got to say I don't get the complaints about the ending. Maybe it sucks that to get the "best" endings you have to play multiplayer and the iOS game, and I happened to have rented the game so no go for multiplayer, as well as no extended ending. But I don't get the hate even for the ending I got where Sheperd took control of the reapers and died in the process. Maybe it's because I didn't go through each game multiple times to get all the endings, I just went through one time each, to me the only way you should play the game. Where you don't know the effects of your actions. Where you don't pick and choose from the outcomes you like the most. I think the game and the series as a whole is excellent. The masterpiece of video games.

I was kind of pissed off at a certain character so I decided to rant about it. I think I came up with an amazingly cheesy but awesome movie line for this game.

 

Give me some drumroll....

 

 

I'm going to shepard you....into hell.

 

Get it?

Well i didn't hate ending that much either,but i was wery irritated with locking best ending with MP,and forcing Origin and connection with EA servers. Also i would like them to see something original and not just steal ending from a game Deus Ex released in 2000.Just compare ME3 ending with this video:

 

 

 

Even fourth choice that was added in EC was also taken from a Deus Ex sequel,Human Revolution. Also now when i play HR i realise that Anderson's uniform and Cerberus armors were actually uniforms and armors of Belltower Security, your main enemies from Human Revolution.

Right been a long time since I posted so wanted to give my opinion on the new endings.

 

Definitely love them, fixed what I really wanted to be fixed. So Control ending seems to be the best one yeah? Really love the scene with Shepard walking into the abyss.

I prefer the destroy ending.

[Creed Bratton]

The fact that we are still calling those endings Control, Destroy and Synthesis means they're all sh*t. Having a game with 3 very different endings, none of which are canon and none of which have anything to do with what you're been doing for 3 whole games can not in a million years be a good thing.

[Creed Bratton]

They want $10 for this DLC. Aw, that's so cute.

[stingray.]

Bump. Okay so Leviathan is finally out. I won't discuss any plot-related details (really though, what's the point? We all know how the game ends ), so instead I'll just ask a question related to Dominate (the new bonus power). I seem to have noticed that it only works on Brutes two or three times and not more, but it could also be a hunch (I only used it on one brute so far). I couldn't find an answer to this on Google. Can someone confirm this please? Also, I might get some telling off for reviving a topic for what I think is not a very good reason.

The more you use it on a single enemy, the more that enemy becomes resistant to it, so i assume that using it on the same brute around 3 times and you go to use it a 4th time, it won't effect them.

Why don't people like the ending? It was really good.

You know the best part of this? Information about Retaliation DLC was leaked along with the rest of the DLC that Bioware is supposedly planning, which should fix the atrocious ending...hopefully.

 

The leak came from the same source that leaked info about other MP DLCs, Leviathan and Omega DLC.

 

Here's the full list of leaked DLC info: http://pastebin.com/yjPACqi5

 

Something tells me that Bioware are the ones leaking this info on purpose in order to hype the disappointed players that have all but given up on ME3.

Did you play the updated ending? Even if not, there was still people that liked the initial ending.

I don't actually have the game.I've seen the whole game played through with all 3 endings though.

[Sgt. Foley]

Wow, people still play this?

 

I got to like the 3rd mission when I rented it from Gamefly... I didn't like this game at all. I really love Third Person Shooters so I have no clue why I hated this.

Maybe because it's an RPG/TPS and because you haven't played the previous two games?

[Fnorg]

Did you even play the first two?

 

EDIT: beaten to the punch

[Sgt. Foley]

Yea, I didn't like them either. That was a while back, I rented them when they practically came out. I may rent them again to just play them again.

Aw man, that's unfortunate! It's the closest thing to an RPG (if you can even call it that) that I can stand. I hate the decisions of levelling up and trying to balance a character. ME streamlined a lot of things. The conversation system was peaked my interest anyway!

Mass Effect 3 will always have the worst ending of all time. (no spoilers)

 

You can probably find games with worse endings in individual aspects, such as FFVII or Ripper, maybe Bioshock if you're really harsh on it, but the difference is that those games were the ending to ONE game. ME3 was the ending to a WHOLE FRANCHISE. And yes, EA were probably going to jump on its corpse and make more games, squeezing as much as they could out of it, but the main series would always end with Mass Effect 3. And in that regard, in terms of wrapping up a story that lasted three games and drew hundreds of thousands of fans into the series, invested them in the characters, in the world, in the story, to give us such an abrupt, short, piece of sh*t ending. The extended cut isn't much better; it still comes out of nowhere and is way too brief.

Seriously, call the whaambulance or something. What were you guys expecting out of a ending? The ending ended for open-minded individuals, to let you sit around and spectate as to what happens next, but that was to hard for people to grasp as they wanted every single answer down to detail. This is not a ending to a franchise, as EA would be completely retarded not to develop more games for this massive and rich virtual world that Bioware has created.

 

I wasn't disappointed with the ending, and this is coming from a person who has been playing Mass Effect a few months after its release. I'm just astounded that so many cry babies actually made this team re-work a ending... just like weak parents to a spoiled child in a toy store, just ridiculous.

 

"worst ending of all time."

(giant spoilers below)

 

I don't know, something that fit with the narrative structure of the game, something that rewarded the player's choices instead of all being the f*cking same, something that provided closure while still leaving some questions and mistory, something which rounded off the characters, something that wasn't a massive deus ex machina that the writer's just pulled out of their ass, something that made sense. All of the above.

 

 

The ending ended for open-minded individuals, to let you sit around and spectate as to what happens next,

Nope. No it did not. Since the mass effect relays are destroyed in all of the endings and since it is shown in the Mass Effect 2 DLC Arrival that the destruction of a relay causes a super nova, destroying the system, and all its planets. Therefore, If you are smart you will now notice that regardless of you actions you destroy every system in the galaxy, every star, every planet, every life And the fact that the fleet was in the Sol system which was destroyed by the relay super nova, it meant the horrible death of every soldier and fighter in the known galaxy. Even if they did survive, every race in the galaxy is hovering around Earth, and there is no way for them to travel anywhere else so everyone will starve to death due to lack of resources and space. Wars would break out and the Krogans would probably dominate due to being the strongest and eat everyone.

 

 

 

 

but that was to hard for people to grasp as they wanted every single answer down to detail.

No, even an idiot could figure how it made no sense and how the crucible came out of nowhere. Seriously, the main reason why the Reapers destroy everything is to stop organics from being destroyed by synthetics, despite the fact I managed to enlist EDI and the whole f*cking Geth army on my side, who both joined because they wanted to help on their terms. I got the Quarians and the Geth to solve their differences! That destroys the Reaper's argument that synthetics will destroy all organics when the synthetics are helping us! Not to mention that the whole motivation is basically "I heard you didn't want to be killed by synthetics so I created some synthetics to kill you every 50000 years." That makes no sense. And don't get me started on the arbitrary blue, red and green choices, dear god, I hate that so much. The whole ending sequence just comes out of nowhere!

We didn't want "every single answer," we just wanted a conclusion to a series who all cared about. There were so many deep, rich characters in the series and it deserved a better send off. They fixed a few of the issues with the extended edition with some of the timing of how your crew got back on the Normandy and tried to make your choices feel different but the same problem of it coming strait out of left field still exists.

 

 

This is not a ending to a franchise, as EA would be completely retarded not to develop more games for this massive and rich virtual world that Bioware has created.

Yes, the massive and rich world that Bioware blew to smithereens at the end of this game so anything else in the series will either be a prequel where your choices won't be important because its still got to fit into the main canon of the first three games and it won't matter anyway because of the universe being blown up or so far in the future just so technology can catch up to where it was that the series no longer resembles itself and may as well not be called Mass Effect!

Good for you. I presume you haven't played the first two have you? Its people like you who defend EA when they keep exploiting the layman who sicken me.

 

 

just like weak parents to a spoiled child in a toy store, just ridiculous.

Yeah, how dare a company try win back tons of fans who were generally displeased with their product. EA should have stood their ground and lost a whole ton of sales from fans who wouldn't spend their well earned money on their products. EA shouldn't care about customers at all.

 

 

"worst ending of all time."

 

lol

 

"I liked the ending"

 

lol

 

Wait, no, not lol. Its no laughing matter. Simply put, ME3 has the worst f*cking ending of all time. F*ck Bioware, f*ck Casey Hudson, f*ck the crucible and f*ck EA.
