Mass Effect 3

And also how they can explain away why your squadmates are suddenly half way across the sol system by the time you rock shit

And not dead.

Oh, i forgot to mention how pleased i was that they used Sol rather than solar to name the human system. Even to someone who speaks spanish, it makes it sound more interesting when you say sol, and also luna.

[Brill Weave]

I wouldn't be surprised to see them eliminate a large portion of the final cutscenes and replace them completely. They made zero sense.

Did the same in Star Control II, MEs predecessor.

Well, duh, Latin. It's science-speak.

"Solar" would be 'of the sun,' which makes zero fucking sense when you're talking about a galaxy with billions of 'em. Human science-speak for 'the sun we got' is 'Sol.' Guess "Trebia" is Turian science-speak for 'the sun we got,' and "Aralakh" is Krogan science-speak for 'the sun we got, which could kick your sun's ass.'

[Kuya]

It also helps that luna sounds much nicer than moon.

[Arximiro]

Ok yeah just tried it out, thing is pretty badass. Like a shotgun that holds a shitload of bullets in the clip with a much better crosshair.

FFS, they said they are not changing the ending at all. All the stupid retarded ass shit that was there is just going to have new unvoiced scenes sandwiched in. It's still going to be the star child, it's still going to be 'pick your color explosion', it's still going to be complete bullshit.

If anything this has cemented my vow never to buy another Bioware game again. They clearly don't know what the fuck they are doing anymore, or are so tainted by EA that they can't do anything the old Bioware did. If you need an example of this, look at the TOR-tanic. The first month was free, but when the time came for people to either pony up money or unsubscribe, EA/Bioware hid the 'unsubscribe' link and banned the people on the forums who posted it. Do you honestly believe this was a mistake?

[Kuya]

Some people were more upset with the lack of in depth follow up to your choices rather than how stupid the things got around the end.

[Pendulum]

The whole Joker thing was about as good as the ending movies in Tekken, so it really shouldn't be too hard to improve this.

[Tarage]

You would think so, but this is Bioware. They have equal odds of making things worse.

[Ikarys]

I think at this point "Zevran / Shepard love scene" would be a step up, so I'd tilt the odds slightly in favor of at least providing more closure.

[Plow]

Hey fuck you Tekken endings were vastly superior to me3's shit, plus there were way more and with way more variety.

Choices you made like who you picked actually mattered and everything.


Also the dlc is too late I already traded in heh. Good to see it's free though, it probably would have been an utterly devastating blow to bioware if EA tried to make them charge for it.

This along with 13-2 have largely turned me off of preorders more than anything, though. I don't think I'll be preordering anything that's not dark souls sequels anytime soon.

[Rulke]

i think we've all seen that what bw says and does is often very different. i'll buy into the whole starchild deal but would love to see the abomination that is joker, the normandy and squadmates part amended, delted or redone.

Allied forces have matched krogan mercs and batarians with asari justicars for unconventional warfare. Their mission: to create resistance on Reaper-occupied planets to tie down local Reapers.

All N7 Forces will receive a +25% Experience Bonus for participating in Operations in any Theatre of War against any foe. Good Luck!

Operation Beachhead is here, the next N7 Multiplayer Weekend!

Last weekend the community rallied to promote a record breaking 350,000k+ operatives in the field. This weekend Operation Beachhead will run from 6PM PST Thursday April 5th, to 5AM PST Tuesday April 10th on Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3.

Please remember to set “Upload Gameplay Feedback” to “on” in the online options to be able to participate in Operation Beachhead.

See you on the Battlefield!

Looks like they've hit panic button about the store exploit and just stuck a 25% xp round in as filler?

What exploit?

[Rhyis.]

This isn't the first xp weekend. Every other week they are doing it. Seems to be the formula.

[Pendulum]

Then why say "Operation Beachhead is scheduled to deploy next weekend, April 6th- 8th and will require expert trained soldiers to complete" earlier in the week?

There was a post by bioware that commendation packs had been suspended due to a possible exploit of getting infinite packs. I still haven't received my commendation pack and the blog said "no later than" Wednesday (yes i do have data logging on).

Because that's the operation. Operation Fortress was the same shit.

[-Zer0-]

Goddamn, I want infinite packs. The only good thing I've gotten from 5-6 Premium Spectres so far is the Assault Rifle Extended Barrel upgrade to level 4.
