Mass Effect 3

[Tarage]

I was out with my telescope tonight watching the stars, then something came to my mind:

When Reapers eliminate the whole galaxy every 50000 years, what is with the rest of the universe? Shouldn't it be about time other species from other galaxies out of the reapers radius got the technology to get to us?

1. Without Mass Effect technology even getting across the Galaxy takes a LONG time.
2. The Universe is really REALLY big and it is really REALLY empty. Even with FTL travel we will NEVER reach another Galaxy in anyone's lifetime, even an Asari. Odds are the other lifeforms see no purpose in going to a random Galaxy that might not even have life in it.

I was prepared to a final sacrifice by Shepard (picked blue, fuck yeah), but I think they could have done better. All survivors stranded in Sol system, Normandy randomly going somewhere and crashing on some unknown planet?
Seems like they rushed something together and called it an ending. Pity, because the game is amazing up to the last 5 minutes. So many epic moments, like when the reaper gets eaten by the trencher or when the fleet you build is deployed.

I hope they pull out a Fallout 3 and fix the ending.

And... why FMVs are not HD on PC?

Knowing what Bioware has become it'll be a DLC.

I didn't get into this franchise until somewhere between the Shadow Broker dlc and Arrival dlc so perhaps someone who was playing when ME2 was released can answer this. Is it possible that all the endings for ME3 aren't known to the public yet? When people started playing ME2 no one probably had any idea about all the different things that added up to the survival rate in the suicide mission and thus so many variations (albiet small) on the endings. I am just wondering if at the time of ME2 release, if people were like "half your team dies! fuck bioware!" or "Shepard doesn't make it out alive!" etc. Perhaps the same is still viable for ME3? Just wondering if people have jumped the gun on all possible endings or if confirmation of all existing ones are known.

I don't think there was ever a serious question about surviving the suicide mission... it's anvil-to-the-head obvious what choices you should make.

They come from the strategy guide (spoilers)http://uk.ign.com/wikis/mass-effect-3/Endings, and no... unfortunately it just sucks.

I'm curious: BioWare says you can get the "best" ending without touhching multiplayer or iOS game, but I could only get a bit more than 7000 total war assets completing all the missions save for 3 or 4 citatel fetch quest that I missed before rescuing the Krogan female. Anyone got more?

[Tyrath]

How many do you need for best ending?

[arshesney]

At least 8000 if you're sitting at 50% Galactic readiness.

[Tyrath]

Wtf, I'm nearing the end of the game and also around 7k. How am I supposed to get 8k -_-

[Raelia]

To make you buy the game so you can play multi-player (for only about two hours to max out mind you) just to get the good single-player ending.

Gotta love them giving people a reason to buy this game but a better reason not to buy their next one.

[arshesney]

They know Mayans are right and try to cash in before shit hits the fan.

As much as the BSOD's & the random freeze-ups annoy me in the PS3 version, I get a lot of enjoyment out of the graphical lag, wonky model detection, & other fuck-ups.

Question about when the point of no return is...

Spoiler: show

I'm about to attack Cerberus HQ. Do I get a stopping point between this and Earth or is this it?

Thats the final step. Do not proceed if theirs stuff you want to do.

Ugh Mordin.

Spoiler: show

Really didn't want to put a bullet in his chest but didn't have enough renegade to stop him. First time so far I've really hated picking the renegade route.

I'm straight up Renegade and I still went Paragon for this and for the next big conflict you face in Rhannos. I'd rather have more support than be a dick lol.

But if it makes you feel better

Spoiler: show

Mordin dies in an explosion if you don't shoot him anyways

I did it partially because I wanted more support. Does this decision come back to bite me?

[Kuya]

I'm having a crappy day with the multiplayer. Constantly losing my connection to the game. Could the fact that i have a wireless signal strength of 50% on my ps3 have something to do with these disconnects?

[BadKarma]

god i hate carrying the team in MP. I love vanguard but I outscore everyone by at least 30,000....and i get no added benefit.

According to that site, there is a "secret ending" for new game+ Is that the "best" I wonder? I don't think that site says.
