I'm guessing you didn't unlock it intentionally.

Got my copy of Mass Effect Revelations in the mail yesterday, I'm about 30 pages in and it's really interesting so far.

[Master Chief]

Ascension is my favourite but the first 3 books are really great reads.

Hahah.

Got Skyrim for the PC, so no Mass Effect MP for me in a while. >_<

[Upset Spideyfan]

Remember to feed/urinate!

[Nathan]

Don't worry, I do that regularly. And it cuts into my game time!

[Upset Spideyfan]

Damn bodily functions.

Ive been meaning to get back into that. I pretty much stopped playing in anticipation of ME3. Now that Ive completed that, Ive been doing SR3 but still need to plat SSX and TM which have barely been touched since purchaed. But GoT is really making me want to play Skyrim again

[Matt]

The spiders really ****ed me up in Skyrim. I spent hours just exploring Cyrodill in Oblivion, I couldn't do that with Skyrim. I'd imagine I would have spent so much more time in Skyrim if not for the perpetual fear of a giant spider jumping out at me at any given moment.

[Balthus Dire]

I've also started Skyrim since finishing ME3 lol. It's unreal.

[Upset Spideyfan]

I'm waiting (eagerly!) for DLC at this point. I punched through twice and enjoyed the loving hell out of it, but so much of Bethesda games is about exploration and discovery for me that once I've peeked into every corner and nook I find replays difficult.

[Balthus Dire]

Yeah, every time I play Skyrim I keep telling myself "I'm gonna continue the main questline now" and then I end up just exploring for hours lol. I've probably spent about 80% of my time just exploring and finding random dungeons and I feel like I've barely even scratched the surface of the game: there's still entire sections I haven't even been to yet.

I really want to play through it at least one more time, but it'll probably end up like Oblivion where I skipped 90% of the dungeons the second time around simply because the game was so damn big!!

i bought skyrim... then Zelda came out.... then didnt pick it up again...ME3.... really should play it. I have Skyrim and red dead, havent played either for more than a couple hours. thats kinda what happened with ME1... bought it... played a little of it...then didnt go back for months...

[Upset Spideyfan]

Well - done with my FemShep playthrough. My memorial wall was pretty full by the end of the game. So, that means I am done with the singleplayer until the summer.

I had a somewhat similar experience, I really hope we get some stuff like Fallout 3's Point Lookout. I was really jazzed about that DLC on account of the new area that it added. It sounds like they are taking their time with new content so my expectations are high.

Fifty six minute marker - closing remark.

It's a long video, but an interesting listen if you have the time. Tried to clarify what segments cover which topics so you could jump ahead if need be.

I like the writer Patrick. His comments throughout the panel amuse me.

[Matt]

If EA ends up sacking Hudson (and when this mess is all said and done, I tend to think that they will), I hope Patrick Weekes gets put in charge of the Mass Effect team.

[spiderbob]

I do enjoy his attitude. He does to see to really care about the characters and story he's helped create. In a lovable way even.
(not that I'm implying that no one else cared, but his is quite a bit more easy to discern)
His remarks on Wrex and Mordin were great.

[Balthus Dire]

I really don't think they'll sac Hudson to be honest. Even if you think the ending is god awful, there are still people out there that like it, and the bottom line is that ME3 still sold an outrageous amount of copies.

I think getting rid of Mac Walters would be more likely if they get rid of anyone at all.

[Matt]

I feel as though EA will perceive it as Hudson's remarks putting them in this mess (which ultimately led to something that EA despises....free DLC). Hudson cost them money. Someone has to take the fall for that.

[spiderbob]

Why Mac?

[Matt]

Hudson may be considered too valuable to the company and Walters ran his mouth most aside from Hudson, maybe? Plus he was the lead writer.

[Balthus Dire]

Because Hudson delivered 2 previously incredible games as project director, whereas Mac Walters came on as lead writer for ME3 and, if you believe the rumors and evidence pointing to said rumors, was mostly responsible for crafting the ending.

I mean, yeah...ultimately it's Hudson's project and, like with a film, the ultimate responsibility falls on the director. But I think in this case the more likely scenario would be to get rid of the "new" thing that may have caused the problem (Walters) rather than get rid of the old things that have been working for 5 years.

But like I said I'll be surprised if anyone gets fired, TBH.

Actually during the Bombcast on GB, they mentioned that BW/EA must be making a killing with the consumables market. They are essentially getting a steady cash flow from the sales of people who end up spending MS points on those reinforcement packs. Its like a free-to-play without the added cost of running an MMO.
