Mass Effect 3 - The Arrival Thread!

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, transferring or using cloud can stuff them up but nope, he played all 3 mass effects on the only xbox and hard drive he's ever had. He only played them in the last 5 months too. Very frustrating for him since, whilst we've had fun on MP, he just wants to sink his teeth into the story.

Finally received my collector's edition of the game today and played it gleefully for a couple of hours. Suffice to say, I love it so far.

In addition, EA fixed my issue with the soundtrack after a long time. So I'm in a really good mood at the moment. t:

I am finishing up the mission with Grunt in the caves.

[blackout]The whole mission feels like something out of Alien. So atmospheric. And it looks like saving the Rachni queen was a bad call considering they just went and got themselves enslaved again. [/blackout]

GRUNT!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy ****, him walking out of that cave covered in blood was pure bad assery. I thought I lost him for sure.

Yea i just finished that one up as well. GREAT level, but thats how this game has been going for me. One emotionally filled level after another. I mean theres been some not so great missions but damn they're far and few between.

 

[TX85]

Which mission is the Grunt one?

On a random side-note..I f'n hate Banshees!

 

[Master Chief]

Haha, that's one of my favorite moments of the game so far. Shepard slowly backing away in horror was great.

I had to watch it like 5 times lmao it was great.

The flamethrower really added to that hahah, and then the eggs.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

This game has really solidified for me, I am loving it at the moment - seeing Reapers stampede through a city never gets old.

Closing in on the end of the game here. Very excited.

Fighting on (MINOR SPOILER) [BLACKOUT] Thessia alongside Asari [/BLACKOUT] was visually amazing.

Yea that HAD to of been their intention.

How long are you guys in to the game ? I am about 12 hours in

 

[ProjectPat2280]

How long are you guys in to the game ? I am about 12 hours in

Yea iv prob sunk about the same. Iv only done a few "Priority" missions.



How long is the game supposed to be?

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

30-40 hrs.

 

[TX85]

I don't know how many total hrs It''s been But I assume I'm in the end since..

Spoiler

I'm back on earth with all fleets to fight the Reapers&get in the Citadel

I've been mostly doing the main missions&being at the Citadel or talking to crew in the Normandy,Once I finish I'll do side-missions/explore&The Ashes DLC missions!!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

30-40 hrs.

But thats if you do everything right? Explore all the side missions plus the main "priority" missions correct?

 

[The Squirrel]

So who has seen/read about the way Tali looks? [BLACKOUT]I can't believe the cheap way Bioware went about it.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[TX85]

the way she looks as in her face?,For me she..

[BLACKOUT]took her helmet off and turned towards Shepard(with the camera point at him)and jumped off a cliff[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

But thats if you do everything right? Explore all the side missions plus the main "priority" missions correct?

I stopped doing side missions (as in multiplayer maps) pretty early and I'm at 30 hrs now and its saying I'm right before the point of no return.

Also Tali [BLACKOUT] drunk [/BLACKOUT] is hilarious.

 

[TX85]

No driving in this game?I miss driving the M35 Vehicle!

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I thought they left the door open for possible vehicular sequences with Esteban's dialogue on the Normandy, when I first met him.

 

[The Squirrel]

[BLACKOUT]took her helmet off and turned towards Shepard(with the camera point at him)and jumped off a cliff[/BLACKOUT]

No I'm talking about (and this is a spoiler, so be warned):

Spoiler

[BLACKOUT]When Shepard finds a photo of Tali where you can see her face. Bioware maniped a stock photo from the internet. There are comparison shots out there of the original and the manip that is in the game.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Benstamania]

Grunts mission felt SO much like Aliens... Awesome.

This game is easily the most intense and emotionally draining game iv played. Im mean i can't take too many more casualties. Iv already lost a few people i liked. This truly feels like an epic war story. Bioware killed it.

Agreed. This game feels more like full scale war than any game I've played, in any genre, ever.

It felt so good

[BLACKOUT]Killing Udina [/BLACKOUT]

Agreed. I'm full on paragon and I couldn't let the chance slide. It, however, shouldn't be a Renegade choice, IMHO.

 

[TX85]

I have to agree that this feels way more like a full-scale WAR than any other game I've personally played,Gears 2&3 comes close But I feel this is IT and the full package that makes the rest feel like just battles!

The dialogue between characters that constantly talk about friendship/surviving/the past/a possible future/being worried/scared/love/ideas/panicking/big characters actually dying in the battle&war& also sacrifices makes moments emotionally amazingly awesome!

You actually see thousands of fleets and battling it out with the reapers that seems like it came out of Star Wars

Then you have moments where you actually start shooting&going for cover in a frenzy as as soon a shuttle door opens,Even the camera shakes in one part

 

[BrollySupersj]

So is there anyway I can get my chakram launcher and Amalur armor to transfer to me regular profile? That's where all my data is, I'm not gonna go back and replay all 3 games just so I can use one gun.

 

[Donut]

I ended up playing Chess with Kelly #2. But now that Ashley is back shes mine

 

[Tanin]

No I'm talking about (and this is a spoiler, so be warned):

Spoiler

[BLACKOUT]When Shepard finds a photo of Tali where you can see her face. Bioware maniped a stock photo from the internet. There are comparison shots out there of the original and the manip that is in the game.[/BLACKOUT]

That doesn't really bother me in the slightest.

Spoiler

I'm just glad I get to see what a Quarian looks like at all to be honest.

Why build it from scratch when you can save money with a stock photo? It's not like she just looks human.
