Debut trailer from the VGA 2010.

Next year is going to be a GREAT year for gaming.

[Fuhrër-Z]

shit looks tight, I stopped playing ME2 though...got bored for some reason. Gonna give it another shot when I have time.

[mc.]

cant fucking wait to see how my decisions play out.

[Big.Xero]

:fuckyea:

I'm just wondering if they will give us an all new cast...considering that the cast of ME2 could be dead based on your decisions.

[NimbeeTT]

That actually looks pretty awesome...

[TekDragon]

Be interesting to see if decisions you make with DLC pan out in here as well.

[Matlock]

ME3 and DA2 :D :D :D

[mrks]

Be interesting to see if decisions you make with DLC pan out in here as well.

Yea, I wonder if you will still have access to the shadow broker network in the story.

[bestsoup]

Is this coming out for ps3 too? Since ME2 is coming out soon

[twitchyzero]

it is..and the ME2 that's coming out in a few weeks on PS3 will use ME3's unreal engine

[asahai69]

cant wait for this game

[PB10]

Man I have just finished both Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 recently, and I would like to discuss how it ended up for you guys.

SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT PLAYED MASS EFFECT

For Mass Effect 1, I went soldier and war survivor. This was my first time playing, and I kind of rushed through it without talking to any of my crew members or doing enough side missions to bring my paragon up. I ended up not being able to convince Wrex, so Ashley killed him. On the mission when you decide to choose either Kaiden or Ashley, I couldn't let Kaiden die, his biotic abilities were too useful. On deciding whether to attack Sovereign or save the Council, I chose to attack Sovereign. I genuinely thought this was the right thing to do. And finally, I choose Captain Anderson to be the Council leader.

For the second game, I believe I chose Infiltrator. I do not recall any important decisions in this game, but overall, Tali died (I choose to hand in the evidence to clear her name in her side mission), and Jacks died (I wanted to bang Miranda). And, I also decided not to explode the Collector's base, or whatever it was at the end of the game.

[roastpuff]

I played Paragon through and through. No one died (except for Kaidan in the first game) and I got to have sexy time with Kelly. And Miranda. Not simultaneously, sadly. That would have been awesome.

[palepilsenpin0y]

Man I have just finished both Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 recently, and I would like to discuss how it ended up for you guys.



For future references, there's a spoiler tag by adding "[S,POILER]" in the beginning, and "[/S,POILER]" to end it (without the comma after the "S", of course).

For my main playthrough, I


Mass Effect:
-Was a war hero
-Was Paragon the entire way
-Kept Wrex alive
-Kaiden got killed in action/Ashley lives
-Got into Ashley's pants
-Spared the Rachni queen
-Saved the council
-Anointed Captain Anderson as council leader

Mass Effect 2:
-Was Paragon the entire way
-Got into Miranda's pants
-Accidentally got Kelly and many of the Normandy crew staff killed because I took my time saving them :(
-Kept every single team member alive in the suicide mission (reverted to a previous save after 3 members originally died :whistle:)
-Destroyed the Collector's base and told Illusive Man to go fuck himself.

[PB10]

Yes, I forgot that I couldn't even save Kelly, the Doctor, and the crew. It seems like I'm doing a lot of things wrong.

On a side note: Did anyone just feel really bad when the collectors were capturing Kelly into the elevator? It's amazing how the story and interaction draws you into this game, and it made me exhibit emotions towards these characters.

Also, when you were controlling Joker, did anyone die the first time? On the 4th level, you had to wait for the collectors to walk by. I talked to my friends, and they all fell for it. lol

[PB10]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObVxYYB0knA

Did anyone catch this in the game? I was eating and I left my character idle then I saw this.

Joker is a great character, I wonder if this was Seth Green's idea.

[urrh]

I played Paragon through and through. No one died (except for Kaidan in the first game) and I got to have sexy time with Kelly. And Miranda. Not simultaneously, sadly. That would have been awesome.

For this i regret going with femshep. sexy time with garrus made me feel unclean.
on a side note, i saw a random pic of yvonne strahovski and thought "holy shit, she looks exactly like miranda with blond hair." did some digging and found out they scanned her face and she did the voice.
:facepalm:

[Vansterdam]

i have the first 2 games and havent touched them yet lol

[SaviorSelf_666]

^sorry but I have to fail you for that

[Vansterdam]

any tips on items/characters or whatever i need to know before i start the first game?

[JKam]

I couldn't play the first one. The second one I like much more.

I'm playing soldier in ME2, but I want to try vanguard or sentinel on my second playthrough if I get to it.

[Cman333]

Damn videos down now....



Can't wait for this. I love the ME series.

[asahai69]

play it first using an adept. then play again using vanguard and choose singularity as your bonus talent

vanguard + singularity = :fullofwin:

[Vansterdam]

are u talking about mass effect one or two? what does that do

[Glove]

do you guys play on easy difficulty?

I always play my games on the hardest setting I can, so I get satisfaction knowing that I beat it.

But saying that, I cant do shit unless im a Soldier, having all the guns is way more important than having a couple of spells.

Both play throughs I did, I picked soldier, I just couldnt beat it as any other class

First playthrough was done on normal doing the paragon path as a soldier. Second playthrough, I played as a Renegade FemShep on Insanity (hardest setting) using the Sentinel class. It's probably the most boring class of them all, but it's the easiest one to use if you wanna get through Insanity difficulty the easiest way coz you have an extra tech shield that you can constantly keep bringing out once it goes down as long as you wait for the quick cooldown to set.

any tips on items/characters or whatever i need to know before i start the first game?

Most fun class would, hands down, have to be Vanguard though for anyone just starting the game or wanting to do another run of ME2. For ME1 playthroughs, your best bet is the soldier class as the ME1 classes were pretty imbalanced and kind of shitty. ME2 though, every class is its own win.

you may have probably already seen this but i got a kick out of this

you dont need a demo unless you are collecting unlockable weapons...because this game is gonna be a day 1 buy.

[bloodmack]

I've played the demo probably 5+. Pre-order the Limited Edition ME3 as well.. going to be fucking great..

[dasani604]

I'm gonna replay ME1 and 2 before trying out this demo, that is if I finish both games before March 6th.

Describe the demo to me without using words of awesomeness.

[twitchyzero]

perhaps if you skip all the conversations/cutscenes/loyal missions/side quests I dont think that's very reasonable...but that defeats the purpose of playing RPG

i would suggest just watching the dark horse comic recap for ME1 and then jump into ME2

[jlo mein]

Anyone found any stores locally still accepting preorders for the Collector's Edition on Xbox? All online outlets are sold out of the CE.

[bloodmack]

way too late now man, just going to have to get up early on tuesday and hunt for a CE. I usually get lucky at futureshop.

[Vansterdam]

im gonna make the effort and finish mass effect 1-2 lol i bought them and havent touched em since

[twitchyzero]

took me almost 50 hours to beat mass effect 2 over a span of a year...i am the point right before the final mission
student problems :okay:

i did all the side quests/DLC though...and mined every last planet...

just beat ME2...i thought the ending was a little disappointing considering the crazy build-up from growing the team from grassroots level.
phenomenal game nonetheless

[Vansterdam]

just started mass effect 1

fuck this game has alot of reading and searching for shit


i zoned out half the time from reading and found it hard to focus at some points prob cause i was baked

awesome graphics and gameplay so far though



what happens when your teammates die? do some of them come back to life after awhile and some dont?

In my ME3 it said I was in Vancouver not sure if its like that for everyone tho :P

[LookHere_Sucka]

Picking it up today :fuckyea:

[Glove]

I just finished it, only took 12 hours,

dont want to spoil it for anyone, but there is VERY little dialoge,
there is very little romancing,
loop holes everywhere,
and all the decisions you make in the first 2 games become irrelevant because the games story is almost set in stone aside from a few little choices you can make,

I remember reading early interviews from bioware devs, that said all the choices will have a dire effect, in fact there was zero effect.

even if you have multiple romances in the previous games, none of that shit gets addressed, just a few dialogue boxes. (which one do you chose?)

and the ending is always the same,

The entire time I was playing the game I was like, where is all the dialogue? where is all the story? where is all the reference from the previous games? where are all the little side datapads/emails that reveal past secrets of the game/story? why isnt this game tieing up any loose ends from the previous ones?

nothing,

in fact when I finished it the ending seemed so shitty, that I figured I had definitly missed something.

but alas, upon looking at the bioware forums, there are 100,000 people who feel the same way.

the Dev's didnt seem to care at all about the story / lore of the mass effect franchise

Bioware ruined the mass effect with this game, my recommendation is dont buy, just torrent it, severe waste of money.

[RabidRat]

^ Wow. Thanks for that.

[Vansterdam]

lol mass effect games dont really hold value anyways

alot of people just beat it once and resell.

should be seeing it on craigslist for 30-35$ soon :fullofwin:

[bobola]

Didnt EA/Bioware release "DownloadableContent" before even the game was released?!

The DLC contain key plots in the game story.
To get the DLC, you either get the collectors edition of the game ($20) or the download it on the day of launch on the regular edition for ($10).

So they create a full game, cut part of it out and sell that part as downloadable content for more money.
This was on LAUNCH DAY!!
It would be fair if it was few months later, where they work on the content after the release.

Not going to support EA on this one!!

I don't see any threads that voice your same concern (this is in the BioWare forums, Mass Effect General Discussion - there is no main Mass Effect 3 forums). The only main topic being discussed is the fact that DLC was released on Day 1 etc.

12 hours is pretty damn fast, did you do all the quests etc.?

[Glove]

Lol perhaps you shouldnt be playing games if you cant even find the mass effect 3 forum... When its on the main page...

Yes i did everyquest

:badpokerface:

[hotshot1]

Is it even a RPG? Even the 2nd one seemed more like Gears of War than Mass Effect 1. I haven't played 3 but I wouldn't be surprised if they continued that kind of game.

I dont believe you at all, im at 10 hours of game play and am not even half way through it. in fact after re-reading your other post I dont even think you put the game in your console.

I think ME3 is very polished, I have enjoyed every moment of it. Haven't tried insane difficulty yet but I have yet to play on anything lower then hard and its been a few deaths here and there. Im playing as a vanguard as well.

[RabidRat]

For those of you who have a copy of ME3, have you tried multiplayer yet? How is it?

[bloodmack]

its like gears of war horde mode

Oh I didn't look at the main Bioware forum. Only checked the ME section since it included 1 + 2 (assuming including 3 would make sense). Too bad, still playing games :lawl:

I agree. 12 hours is amazingly short and I've been enjoying every moment of it. I'm playing on insanity and it's annoying at times because I just want to get a level done, but it reminds me of times when old video games were hard as fuck by default.

[bakasam]

I'm 7 hours in and I don't think i'm even halfway done the game.

Theres a lot of background info with all the different races and whatnot. I'm assuming you just skipped the dialogues and didn't eavesdrop on any random convos etc. Also some of the characters are quite humorous

[RabidRat]

Well fuck guys, should I buy the game or not?! :lol

[twitchyzero]

mid to low 90's across all reviews...another strong goty contender so i'd say yes

[bloodmack]

Well fuck guys, should I buy the game or not?! :lol

for sure man. if you like action, hot aliens and being a good or bad guy whenever the fuck you want. Buy this game :P

[Glove]

why not read the bioware forums before you buy it?

I played it on PC not console.

all those side "conversations" are just war assets, no I didnt listen to any of them, just whip through the whole citadel, whip through all the planets and collect all the artifacts, then just whip back through the citadel, done, none of those conversations have anything to do with the story at all.

also, use sniper rifles, they are OP in the game, one hit kill everything.

Trust me once you get half way through the game it starts getting real gay, real quick.

there are no environments to walk around, just citadel and normandy,

the entire game can be summed up in,

step one, run through entire citadel to get all the artifact quests,

step 2 run through all planets and get all artifacts (hint, when the reapers come after you for scanning too much, just keep going in and out of the system over and over until you spawn right next to the artifact, no need to leave and come back)

step 3, do all quests one at a time, they are all pretty much run in a straight line shooting anyway.

done,

optional step, choose love interest, no dialoge, just simply pick which one you want, and have 1 love scene with them before the last mission.

also if you guys have actually played the first 2 games and imported your characters, have you noticed that all the choices you made have had zero effect in this one yet?

kill council or save council, doesnt matter, same council is still there,
give udina or anderson counsilman, doesnt matter, udina becomes counselor.
kill or save rachni queen? doesnt matter, rachni queen there anyway,
renegade or paragon? doesnt matter, ending and dialogue options stay the same,
killed or saved wrex? doesnt matter, the same dialogue and galactic options are there,
killed or saved kaiden or ashley?, doesnt fuckin matter, same dialogue.

ect ect.

every decision made in the previous games have no bearing on this one whatsoever, except for a few different dialogue options, the story remains unaffected.


a person playing mass effect 3 for the first time, would have the same experience as a person who played the first 2, because nothing mattered in the first 2.

[R&R]

Anyone else encounter this problem yet? I'm stuck orbiting the krogan planet I can't seem to land on it tho I got 3 mission's for that planet but can't choose any of them.
TIA

I was contemplating the other day on whether I should start playing mass effect

[Ch28]

Just finished ME3 tonight. I did every available side mission and my game play was around 25-26 hours long.

The final mission took close to 2 hours to complete. Make sure you save often cause there was a couple of really rough spots. There was one part where you had to take on 5 brutes *_*

Haha I think I got roughly the same playtime as you.

Regarding the ending:

I'm actually pretty content with the ending. Not disappointed with HOW it ended but I felt the devs could have put a little more into it. Went with the paragon ending where you control the reapers and youtubed the rest cause I don't think i'll have time doing multiple playthroughs.

I was already kinda expecting Shepard to die in the final trilogy so it wasn't a HUGE suprise to me though it would have been nice if there was an option for him to stay alive

What I didn't like about the ending was the fact that they didnt show what happens afterwards (regardless which path you picked). Felt like the devs just decided to stop and call it a day after Joker + some crew members get off the normandy.

Some other gripes I had with the game was your crew didnt feel as solid as the second game. Would have been nice if Grunt and some of the other Mass effect 2 crew could rejoin the crew instead of being simply "war assets"

[IMASA]

every decision made in the previous games have no bearing on this one whatsoever, except for a few different dialogue options, the story remains unaffected.


Can anyone else confirm if previous game decisions have any impact? I was given ME3 for the PS3, but have save files for ME1 and ME2 on PC. Just wondering if it's worth going out to buy ME3 for the PC. Either way, seems like the consensus is the ending is prettty bad.

[bloodmack]

IMASA play get it for PC so you can incoperate your saves. Don't listen to what others say decide for yourself.

[J-Chow]

.... Just finished ME3, took my sweet time, around 30-32 hours and I didn't even do all the side missions lol.

Ending was aight. Typical hero ending. Gonna start from my last save point and choose the alternate ending. The weapons in the game was a big jump from ME2. So many guns to choose from. now it's bed time :)

Mass Effect 3: New Ending Incoming - PlayStation 3 News at IGN (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/122/1221273p1.html)

Don't really know how I feel about this, on the plus side we get a new ending, but on the negative side it shows that Bioware caved and doesn't really support their writers.

[G-spec]

first time playing Mass Effect games, I think I am almost halfway through, this is on my PC btw.... game is an obvious port from console, but graphics are still good.... uhmm.. I find myself involved with the story best I can, but digging the game very much overall..

but I wanna tear my hair out when I'm walking or running around over and around obstacles, for example in the middle of a gunfight I'm holding sprint button and I end up accidentally taking cover by nearby obstacles because the sprint button is mapped to the exact same button as take cover, there's no way to change it..

literally the worst feeling character movement of any 3rd person game I have ever played.... firstly he walks way too slow, and when he sprints he's like a fcking juggernaut who can barely turn so I find myself never sprinting during a mission because I ALWAYS get stuck taking cover or hitting a wall

or am I missing something since I'm a first time player ?? when I'm walking up to an object I have to jump over, I literally have to crouch/kneel/take cover and then wait for the arrow to pop up saying jump over this and then jump over, I can't just run and jump over like you normally would in any other game

[beanzzz]

You should be able to jump over an object by double tapping the space bar. The whole running and taking cover system is worst when your playing multil-player since enemies pop out of nowhere.

[Vansterdam]

if you actually took the time to read and do all the side quests in ME1 you would appreciate ME2 so much more. that and the fact that the controls feel so much smoother compared to the first game on the console

gonna hop on ME3 right after

heard the ending in ME3 sucked though lol

[G-spec]

just finished it, damn I didn't know an ending could have so many plot holes, lol, felt like I was watching a straight to DVD low budget hollywood movie... now I understand the frustrations of hardcore fans who have been through all the previous Mass Effect games, and I gotta say I feel lucky I'm not one of them otherwise I'd be pretty choked too, left all incomplete and unsatisfied, it's like banging a hot chick and just when you bout to bust you stop... I've only played ME3 not knowing fully the whole story at all, and the ending still gave me blue balls

this guy nails it pretty damn good in one simple paragraph, Mass Effect 3 Ending Deconstruction - Twenty Sided (http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=15395)


"If you are crazy enough to make a three-game series that ends on a black note with no questions (sensibly) answered and no sense of closure, then the least you can do is make sure the things you do say at the end doesn't contradict what has come before, or introduce new plot holes in the last minutes of the game. This is what Mass Effect did, and it's what has players so angry. Everyone dies, the bad guys turn out to be ridiculous, we don't find out what happens next, and the things we're shown don't make any sense. It is the most insufferably frustrating, obtuse, and nihilistic ending I've ever seen"

[Graeme S]

I played the game through, and I'm on my second playthrough now. I really enjoyed the game itself and even got teary-eyed a few times...like when Thane kicked the bucket and his son was praying over him and I get why people disliked the ending. I am playing through again, however, because apparently if your EMS (Effective Military Score) is >7,000 you get a teensy tiny sneak peak at what the ending really is...or isn't.

I would suggest that the rest of you join me just for shits and giggles.

Also for optimal EMS:

Support the gung-ho civilian on the Embassy presidium
Don't give spectre authorization for the gun to the chick in the medical wing
Don't give spectre authorization for the chick to transfer away from cerberus
Don't talk to the two cops after the Cerberus raid

Did I miss any?

[twitchyzero]

wouldn't it be worth your while to wait for bioware to make their new ending?

[Eclypz]

I got robbed of 60,000cr on PS3 Multiplayer mode :(
I tried buying a Spectre pack and i got a message saying a problem has occurred and to contact support.

I then see my credits got returned, but I still wanted to buy my Spectre pack, so I quit the game, went back in, and noticed my 60K credits were gone, with no new equipment...

Just a warning to you PS3 players

[SkinnyPupp]

I really liked Mass Effect 1 and 2, but for some reason can't get into 3 at all.

[Vansterdam]

mass effect is all about trying to score with aliens lol

[palepilsenpin0y]

Finally finished the game a couple of days ago.

I spent just over 50 hours completing almost every single thing there is to do.

The game was amazing (& emotionally gripping) overall..... except for the ending. I can see where all the hate is coming from. It was a masterpiece until the final 10 minutes.

Here's pretty much all the main reasons why it did blow. *Spoilers below*

Just get it from Walmart for $30 + $1 Shipping . Its pretty damn cheap.
Walmart.ca: Search results for mass effect 3 (http://www.walmart.ca/canada-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?trail=SRCH%3Amass+effect+3&ancestorID=10012&searchString=mass+effect+3&startSearch=yes&addFacet=SRCH%3Amass+effect+3)


Would I be able to load from a save point and see the new ending or would I have to replay the whole friggn game?

This game is SO good!! Finished it after playing three days in a row. Now I can focus on finals.

Anyone else working hard to get credits so you can get the new Geth or Batarians?

Hey sorry if this question has already been asked but...do you guys recommend playing Mass Effect 1 and 2 before playing 3?

[Vansterdam]

most def

[Graeme S]

At least two, which gives you a quick overview of one as well.

I wouldn't even bother playing 3 if you haven't played 2.

I'd say finish 1 as well for the full experience. It's really not the same without it.

The default decisions made for you in ME3 if you're not importing from ME2 are pretty bad. You'll get better enjoyment out of ME3 if you've imported from ME2.

PS3- You're stuck playing ME2, reading the online comic for ME1.

Definitely play ME2 before ME3. I regret not playing 2 before 3 :(

[Cman333]

yeah playing the whole series gives you a better feel for the story. You're feel a bit more for the characters as you play.

[G-spec]

Wasn't that the whole problem though ? the people who invested so much time into the story of Mass Effect only to have ME3's ending absolutely shit on each and every one of them.

I guess if you do play ME1 and ME2 invest all that time into the wonderful storyline, then DO NOT finish ME3 the way it is right now, WAIT for that extra add on ending they are to be releasing soon.

Anyone have a copy of Mass Effect 1 they would sell me? :fuckthatshit:

Looked everywhere, and cannot find one :(

[Vansterdam]

did you try craigslist and eb lol you can def get it for 10-20$

i would sell you my copy but im currently playing ME1 again on hardcore

if you have a save file from ME1 , you will get some extra xp,levels,minerals when you start ME2
(theres also a achievement in ME2 that requires you to either beat ME2 twice or beat it once with a save file from ME1 thats about 50G right there)

for playthrough its about 25-30 hours for ME1 if you read, and do most of the main/side quests

and i wold say about 25-30 for ME2

[Fcukedd]

Yeah I cannot find a copy! I even tried calling all the EB Games around my area to see if they have it in stock...nada :okay:

[IMASA]

I was looking for ME1 few years ago after I finished ME2 but couldn't find it. Ended up getting it on steam.

[Fcukedd]

Walmart has Mass Effect 1 for $30 in their big box of games "$19.99 and above" or something like that. Saw it yesterday when I was with my friend...forgot my wallet fml

[ChaSuiBow]

Anyone wanna explain to me why the Mass Relays all got destroyed regardless of any choice?

[Vansterdam]

the new alternate ending/extended cut DLC is available FREE for download now

hope its not shitty like the original ending

[Vansterdam]

just finished all 4 new endings and man the first one i chose gave me goosebumps after watching


after considering how the original ending sucked so badly and i felt ripped off after spending hours completing all 3 games, i kinda wished they had these extra cutscenes added originally

a little too late but meh.

Hmm so its in between ME2 and ME3? Don't know if I want it either but any new Mass Effect is better than none.

[Vansterdam]

Is that suppose to be a new game or movie?
