Mass Effect 3 - The Arrival Thread!

[TX85]

I rushed it by playing all the main story stuff first,I should of done a few side missions/some of the DLC stuff and THEN finish the main game!!

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I have to say the end where

Spoiler

You see Shepard just so utterly hurt and battered and bleeding from his ribs made me physically uncomfortable. Seeing a character I loved like that was really upsetting.

This was a very sad and bittersweet game if nothing else and I appreciate that.

Spoiler

Ah I see & is there uh any way I can keep Legion & Tali & still let both races have a happy ending ? Or if my next play through I side with Tali both Geth & them can go on happy ? Or is it really one choice only ? Legion or Tali ?

Damned if I know. I haven't even spoken to the Quarians yet.

Sums it up for me.

Spoiler

I felt so sorry for Shep the whole game as he witnessed Mordin sacrifice himself, Tali dying, Thane, etc. You saw a different side of Shep than ever before. Truely beautiful moments are seen in this game.

Very minor spoilers:

Spoiler

I talked to Garrus on the Citadel, he took me in a car, up on top of a Citadel bridge where he wasn't allowed to go as a C-Sec officer but always wanted to see the view off of....Shepard and Garrus discuss how lucky they are to be friends and then Garrus challenges Shepard to a shooting contest to finally settle who the best marksman is. I let him win, his bragging is really funny.

I'm glad Garrus and Shepard have so much banter in this game. In ME2, he only has like, 3 convos with Shepard (if not romanced)...his initial conversation, his loyalty conversation and his post-loyalty mission conversation. I'm really happy that they stepped it up this time.

I'm actually at that moment right now funny stuff & you would think. With all of those chicks on the Normandy. Shepard would get some of them to teach him how to dance

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Is your rating on the ending the same as earlier?(I understand IF it is,Just curious)

I still think so.

Spoiler

Mainly my ire is centered on the lack of a Interrupt verses the Catalyst to argue your case and marooning the crew on some jungle planet.

The mass relays being destroyed and Shepard dying - I am all fine with.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh, and I just saw, what might be the funniest moment in ME3. Drunk Tali, hilarious. What do you guys think was the funniest moment?

BLASTO 6: PARTNERS IN CRIME.

Funniest **** ever.

I'm going to say "Badassfully" before every sentence I say from now on.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I got my N7 shirt today and I get the game tomorrow, hype!!!

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Endings:

Spoiler

The one good thing about the endings I will say is that whatever ME4 is it won't be Mass Effect: The Next Generation, like I will deeply miss the ME universe as it existed but they certainly are in a position to take it wherever they want.

 

[Donut]

Ah got to the romance part with Ashley. Made out on the Citadel. Calm before the storm now

 

[zenith16]

Dang it if I can't get my Kelly chambers back, I'll have to go on to the chobot character. I'm sorry Ashly we're done . [BLACKOUT]If I can make EDI hook up with joker with push I should allowed to make Ashly hook up with Jacob that same way or any one else of my choosing. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[spiderbob]

Spoiler

Jacob's kinda... taken.

 

[zenith16]

oh yeah [BLACKOUT]our former Resdent thief[/BLACKOUT] I don't see that working seeing how fast she wanted to shag

Spoiler

jacob

after she was still morning her former lovers death. The grieving stage barely begun for her. there's 3 stages to go through and she didn't finish with stage 1.

If she's like that the relation ship wont last at all. Still love her character though.

Spoiler

I think ME 4 will start a"The Next Generation"trilogy,And I personally want it move on,I loved most characters&the trilogy's galaxy and I am deeply sad that my Shepard died But..

I want part 4 to take place over 100 or even thousands of years after ME3,Liara could easily make an appearance or be part of the crew since she can live for thousands of years and she even hinted after the geno cure that she can see a cycle start&end in a 100 years,The ending cut-scene with the man&kid in some snowy place could easily take place years after ME3

The man tells the kid"you will one day get to explore and see the stars"and then the kid asks for another Shepard story,for all we know we could end up playing as that end when an adult who is trying to follow Shepard's footsteps

That's my only major problem with this game's design; mashing the journal and codex together was a stupid decision. I wouldn't mind it but you can't even expand each quest to get more info. I missed out entirely on Kasumi's quest coz I didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do. I've adjusted to it but damn, that was a hell of a learning curve.

You too huh? By the time I realized I passed her mission, I was well near the end of the game. Apparently it's a timed mission. You can do it anytime before the [BLACKOUT]mission to cure the genophage[/BLACKOUT]. After that, it disappears. However, I don't remember seeing the option to start this quest. I've read stuff about a glitch with this particular mission.

I beat it a few hours ago, already starting my second run. Love it, the combat is so much better now. No weapon restrictions, custom options, upgrades, etc. There's the upside to getting the COD fanbase Bioware was looking for, or was it EA? Anyway, with them we get a whole new spectrum of awesome fun gun combat. Overall, my verdict on the game is a solid 9.5 out of 10. The only thing that holds it back is the endings. They don't ruin it for me by any means, but I would of liked the option to get something more...[BLACKOUT]cheerful[/BLACKOUT].

[Matt]

Samara [blackout]just tried to off herself. I had to paragon interrupt her. Crazy *****.[/blackout]

 

[DeGenerate10]

For the next Mass Effect trilogy I would like to see them do some kind of political thriller type story.

 

[zenith16]

Miranda DLC for ME3? When was this announced?

 

[zenith16]

Miranda DLC for ME3? When was this announced?

it's in the former thread before matt renamed this one arrival. It was when we found about about the annoying DLC content attached to those things to make us buy stuff that we might not want to other wise cause EA's maketing really greedy. Havok was the one who found it first. I thought you saw it though. I remember you being on line when that happened. Maybe you just forgot about it some how. .

 

[BrollySupersj]

I seriously don't remember reading anything about Miranda getting DLC for this game. Can someone show me the source to this?

 

[zenith16]

one sec I'll bring it up.

Mass Effect Will Set a Record for Most Expensive DLC

Four series of Mass Effect figurines being offered by Big Fish games are certainly nice enough collector’s items. They also come with a card (one per figure) promising “access to downloadable in-game content”. One figurine is $US17.99; a set of four is $US67.99. All four, then, is $US271.96, or about 32,000 Microsoft points. Ouch. More »

This is what the Kotaku update says.

Commenter Chronicles points us to this listing on the BioWare Store site, which says the DLC "is slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters." The DLC is only available for use on PC and Xbox 360 versions. Thanks, Adam!

That doesn't mean you should rush out for them though. they show up later on the usual DLC on the Bioware site and you know how to find that.
