Mass Effect 3 - - - - - Part 14

[Fading]

Inbetween Leviathan and the extended endings, the ending felt better this time around. The choices are still ass, IMO, but it didn't bother me as much. It just makes me think how Leviathan, and From Ashes shouldn't have been DLC. The ending could have been so much better if they built the Reaper's creators, and a living Prothean into the ending, rather than just adding in a few extra lines of dialogue.

Holy ****

Reckoning MP DLC leaked:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-01-mass-effect-3-reckoning-dlc-leaked-in-new-patch-data

Data for a major new multiplayer gameplay mode was uncovered, to be fully implemented in a forthcoming DLC. The mode will use save data from choices made throughout your single-player campaign, including paragon/renegade values, reputation points and overall progress.

"The Reckoning Multiplayer Expansion brings six new never before seen co-op story missions to the game and new co-op gameplay modes. It provides four new maps to conquer and hazard variations of the Earth maps.

 

[Balthus Dire]

Meh.

 

[Benstamania]

I approve. I really enjoy the hell out of the ME MP.

 

[Nathan]

A co-op multiplayer mode using single-player data suggests scenarios linked to the Mass Effect 3 story, which could let players replay the game's major battles with friends.

Love the sound of that.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Retaliation did a really good job breathing new life back into the MP mode by adding the Collectors and the Hazard Maps, so I am really excited to see what they end up doing with it this time around that they are looking to somehow incorporate SP mechanics into it.

*Holding out hope for a Reaper Hazard on the Earth maps*

 

[Spider-Vader]

The choices affecting the multiplayer sound really interesting, I wonder how they'll do that.

I wish some SP DLC stuff would have leaked with the patch though. :/

 

[Storm22]

Thought this was going to be single player DLC. Not interested.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

There will be single player DLC as well.

 

[Iceman]

Sounds excellent but this co-op stuff should probably have been released before some of the other DLCs. Might be a bit late on that for a lot of people.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I dunno, there's still a lot of people playing it

 

[Iceman]

I dunno, there's still a lot of people playing it

A lot of people are playing the multiplayer but nearly all my friends finished everything in the campaign ages ago.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Well the singleplayer stuff is feeding into the MP not the other way around so they would be able to use the campaign data from those already completed games.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't think I'm ever done with Mass Effect SP... I swear this series is a series I've played and replayed more than any other.

As for MP.... I unlocked a Volus last night. Utterly hilarious.

I hope you're playing as a biotic t:

How will the co-op work?

 

[Spider-Vader]

We don't know yet, the leaked info only went over the basics. But I assume we'll be hearing about it veeeeery soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bioware showed off both the SP & the MP DLC at the same time. Maybe they'll tie into each other somehow.

 

[Iceman]

Mass Effect co-op does sound awesome however they implement it. It's a game where you will always need a single player experience but additional/optional co-op missions would only enhance the overall package to me, alongside the unexpectedly great multiplayer.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Co-op is probably just repeatable SP missions with your mp character.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Technically, the MP is just co-op so maybe who ever wrote the article was just talking about that.

Zaeed's voice actor Robin Sachs just passed away.

61 is not that old. What the heck happened? Just old age? They don't even have a cause of death listed on the website.

 

[Fading]

Sorry to hear that. Gonna miss his voice in Bioware games. At first Zaeed's voice sounded so familiar, and then I remembered him doing a few voices in Dragon Age. I want to think I've heard his voice elsewhere as well. 61 is pretty early to go though, I wonder if it was cancer related.

OH wow, I remember him from Buffy

 

[Spider-Vader]

I'm sad, Zaeed is one of my favorite video game characters & Sachs's fantastic performance was one of the main reasons.
