Checked out the IGN review and i know it looks like a proper magazine article but i swear it looked like an ad trying to pose as a review.

Nowdays i only check out vid reviews as i find it easier to decide if i will like the gameplay or not which is the only real reason i play games (f*** story). That and the closing comments of written reviews for a summary.

I remember spending near forty hours on it, but i did so many of the side quests and what not. Could probably get close to half of it I think.

If anyone is wondering ME1 took around 10 hours in the last couple of days. I didn't skip any dialogue, did heaps of sidequests too. (But nowhere near all of them)

Great review. I can't wait until tomorrow. Fingers are crossed for target/big w mix up and the street date to break.

I think I logged about 40hrs in ME1 and just clocked over 80hrs in ME2. I don't see the point in skipping over the story just to finish the games so you get the "rewards". The story itself is the reward.

I haven't been able to get excited about the third ME yet. Loved one and two but for some reason just not really hanging out for number three. I think it's because despite playing ME2 through at least 3 times I never got my characters story right.

First time I played as a soldier and found the combat boring, second time I played as a chick and actually did ok with everyone living at the end. Last time I played a better class but still didn't end up nailing Miranda, talk about high maintenance!

Getting metabombed and last I heard is sitting at around 3.7. Dunno why but i'm enjoying it. I think i'm about 10 hours or so in and so far i'm loving it. Playing on hardcore and oh boy does it get hard at times. Like having to fight 3 geth prime at once which took me like 20 minutes to do. This character is going for Tali and...

Spoiler:
after you end the war between the geth and get her home world back, on the ship she tells you she's left something in your room for you. When you go up there it's a photo of her on her home world and you can see her without her mask/suit on and she's quite a looker


Going to replay again and go for ashely simply because I wanna know if she's packing something extra of if the rumour was just that.

It references a lot of s*** I did in ME2, even really insignificant stuff like the fact I paid to get the operation in the medbay to remove the scars from my shepherd's face.

I like how it includes the DLC as well, theres been stuff that referred back to the choices I made in the Arrival DLC, and theres heaps of Shadow Broker stuff.

I'm a consumer whore, I already bought the Day 1 DLC. Its only a couple of bucks, and its Protheans! Plus Mass Effect DLC in the past has generally been pretty awesome, so all controversy aside, I'm sure it'll be worth the dollars.

It really is pretty cool how much stuff it remembers from previous saves though, even if its only little things. Like the reporter on the citadel tried to interview me again, and I went to punch her again (cos I did that last time) and she dodged out of the way and is like "Not this time Shepherd!" so then I headbutted her instead. Much lols.

From what i've been able to gather, there is a LOT of hate that the endings f*****g suck. I tend to agree with them a bit. There seem to be only 3 endings, 2 of which are the same except 1 where shepard lives and the other dies.

- Spoiler:
humanity becomes part machine, like the TIM I suppose

- Spoiler:
shepard dies but destroys the reapers, the mass effect relays and any synthetic lifeform. Guess this includes your friendly geth buddies and EDI too. Normandy crashlands on a planet with lots of trees.

- Spoiler:
same as above but shepard lives.


Now I wasn't expecting an ending where everyone lives happyly ever after but there's no ending where the reapers just win flat out? No shepard+love interest are together at least? That aside, while we are on the subject of love interests it's worth noting that so far from what i've played Tali was the character they put the most thought into. Both the other 2 main girls seem very straight and uptight, where as tali jokes around with you while you are out on missions and you both make fun of each other. Even better when EDI is around for these moments as she lets you both know she is aware you have been screwing on the ship. Also Tali being drunk is hilarious.

I'm also liking that the choices you make here have pretty immediate effects. I guess they had to do that because it's ending to the story but for example Spoiler:
If you choose to let legion upload himself to the other geth, they eradicate the quarian and when tali see's the crashing ships and flaming debris from the planet below she kills herself. Don't think you get a replacement character for her either.
So yeah don't do that.

Music also has a very daft punkish feel to it like it was from Tron or something which is kick f*****g arse. Oh and turns out the picture of tali and the scene from the very very last moment in the game are from stock standard images you can find online. They just put them into the game.

This thread has become very dangerous :P

I'm still not very far in, since I've only played it for a couple of hours last night, and a couple of hours the night before, but one thing that I guess has let me down a little is the science doesn't feel as convincing as it was in previous ones. I mean, I know its mostly made up science anyway, but (especially in the first game) they made it sound really convincing, and if you went through the codex a lot of it was spelt out in great detail, even right down to how the battle tactics for different sized ships, how they cool the reactors of ships, the physics of travelling through a mass effect relay, etc. So far in ME3, while its sitll good, it feels like its dropped in quality a bit to generic cheap sci-fi science where they just throw around big words like "Quantum Entanglement" and hope they stick.
DM
Posted 07:11pm 09/3/12
Yeah sorry about that, I got a little bit too enthusiastic about what I should leave out of spoilers. Will cover up more next time. Here's something I found pretty cool though. yeah spoilers below...

- Spoiler:
There is a mission early on to rescue students from a school under attack by cerberus. If you do this mission you get to see jack with hair, who looks really weird. However if you miss that mission (main story missions until the class one vanishes) you will fight jack later on after she has been brainwashed by cerberus. There is a similar thing like that with Thane and him coming to protect you with an awesome cutscene of him fighting.


I like the planning they put into things like that. That if you miss something it can come back to bite you in the butt.

I'm really loving how they refer back to the DLC and bring back characters and events from it, really makes it feel like part of the story and not just tacked on. Just did a mission that referred back to the Project Overlord dlc, and there was a story arc involving Kasumi as well.

Makes me wonder though how those would play out if you weren't using a savegame that had played those DLCs. Like, is the Kasumi story even available?
DM
Posted 04:04am 10/3/12
Kasumi is in here? Wow i've not come across that mission yet and i've done every avaliable one so far this run through. Maybe it's after meeting tali. Shame you couldn't romance her last game because she was an interesting character.

Nah, its not after meeting Tali, cos I haven't done that yet, I got it pretty early on, the second time I went back to the citadel.

qmass
Posted 05:24am 10/3/12
So in my version of reality, in which I just finished ME3:

Spoiler:
shepard didn't notice the kid in the vent so some random child getting on a shuttle never registered so two shuttles being blown out of the sky was just another day at the office... thus there was no reason for a retarded callback to the ending of contact and the devs decided to just end the game when the camera zooms out on silhouettes of anderson and shepard lighting up giant space-cigars and talking about how much strange they are gonna get when they get back to earth.


Pretty good ending really

Wow I thought I had scoured the citadel but I've never seen that quest before Khel so I guess I need to look harder.

Posted 04:31pm 10/3/12
Weird things i've noticed

- Sometimes when you load a saved game it f**** your character up. Like if you imported a saved game it sometimes resets your character look back to default or some randomised one. I just had my black haired shepard turn into a ginger with freckles.

- Same as above but my loadout sometimes changes to s***** weapons I never use with odd loadout mods like scopes on pistols.

- Why are some choices considered renegade when they involve saving people from being killed? This sometimes involves your own team mates.

- Anyone having an invisible garrus roam the ship? I hear him talking to people but can't find him anywhere. He was talking to tali, and my speakers told me he was right in front of me but couldn't see him.

- Sometimes people just don't show up in cutscenes. Like they miss their assigned position on the screen and it just shows a wall or something. Lol.

- I had a crash (damn bugged room on horizon. save lots while here people!) and after reloading it shows my military strength at 0%. WOO! so gonna win this war now.

I never saw Renegade choices as "bad" or "evil", no matter how you play Shepard is still a hero, I just saw Renegade choices as more the "victory at any cost" and "take no s*** from anyone" kind of choices, so you can still do good things and get renegade points if you went about it in a no-bulls***, hardcore kind of way.

Anyone having an invisible garrus roam the ship? I hear him talking to people but can't find him anywhere. He was talking to tali, and my speakers told me he was right in front of me but couldn't see him.


Sure he wasn't talking over the comm system? I've walked into a couple of rooms and walked in on conversations he was having with other people over the ship's comm system. He hangs out in the main gun battery area normally

Played some multiplayer this morning, its fun but f*** its laggy at times. I don't think theres any region checks, cos I think I was ending up in games hosted by people overseas, and it was pretty much unplayable, I was rubber-banding and warping all over the place. When I created my own game and was hosting it was fine (well, fine for me), but there was still at least one american dude in the game, and it was s*** for him.

Oh well that would explain why he always seems to be around. Also something i'm about to find out is what happens if you import a game where your entire crew died last game. I'm eager to find out how the game replaces them all and who with since you obviously can't do this whole thing on your own.

I don't seem to be having any problems like you DM. I imported my ME2 game I finished/re-did the ending with, Tali died so I wonder who is going to replace her, if any.

there's a memorial on the normandy with the names of all the people that died in the previous games. i'm not using a save game so it looks like the deaths of wrex and thane are canon as well as a lot of the crew. kaidan is also up there but it can be ashley depending on your choice when creating your shephard at the beginning. i'm guessing more names would be on there if you choose numerous deaths at creation.

Seems like this game is not as bad as I feared. ME2 would still be better overall. The gun play seems......more...realistic in 3 then in 1 or 2 as well which is nice. I also notice loading screens take like 2-4 seconds which is great.

Yeah, the guy from the DLC is pretty awesome, much more awesome than the generic commando dude we got from the DLC in ME2. He has cool dialogue, and he has a fun skillset too, I've been using him a lot.

I've been doing heaps of side missions, so I'm still not that far through the actual main storyline, but as far as I can tell so far most (if not all?) of the people you can get in your party are characters who weren't with you in ME2, except for Garrus, and I guess it sounds like you get Tali as well. So even if everyone died in ME2 I don't think it'd make a huge difference to the overall game, just wouldn't get them turning up doing cameos/side missions like most of them do.

The only person I got killed on the suicide mission in ME2 was Samara, so I guess she wont be showing up for me, but a lot of the others have.

Best cameo I've come accross so far was the mission where you meet back up with Grunt, he was awesome. Which is weird cos he was probably one of my least favourite characters in ME2, but hes just hardcore in ME3.

i'm not using a save game so it looks like the deaths of wrex and thane are canon as well as a lot of the crew


Yeah, Wrex being dead was one of the things I used the savegame editor to change in my game. Cos when I played ME2, Wrex was alive, and was involved in all the stuff in Tuchanka, but then when I imported into ME3 I guess it looked for the flags from ME1 to see if Wrex was alive, didn't find them, and then just made it so he was dead since thats the default setting. So I edited my savegame and put the ME1 plot flags in there to represent the choices I made in ME1 so they got carried over properly.
DM
Posted 11:14pm 10/3/12
Of the 7 characters you get with DLC included, at least 2 can die if you make bad choices and Garrus can be just flat out dead if he wasn't around. Guess there is always people to make a team. I want to do a final run of the game where I make all the opposite choices and use a renegade background. I say would LIKE to but f*** me, does it piss anyone else off that there is so much god damn talking that can't be skipped? Why must I watch a 5 minute talking scene that is unskippable every damn time? They did this in the first game and 2 later they still refuse to let me skip what I want to. I don't think I can handle the same talking over again since I've already played through the entire game once.

On the romance side of things, not really a spoiler but just to be sure Spoiler:
don't expect a great ending. Mine with tali had none. She just appeared dead and shepard was 100% fine with it. No mention of it at all ever again. Bad writing there or my shepard was a total sociopath


EDIT - OH something else I see all the damn time. People have evolved since the last game to have rotatable necks. Seriously watch the way people tilt or turn their heads and it's crazy. How did they not see it looks f*****g stupid? Not to mention i've lost count at the times my shepards eyes have rolled into the back of his head when talking to someone, especially when on vid comm. Case in point watch when the quarians show up. You can't miss it.

Yeah, I haven't been skipping any dialogue either so I haven't noticed, but I have noticed the animation of you using a Mass Effect relay is unskippable, that annoys me. I guess it must be doing loading in the background though while its playing, and thats why you can't skip it, otherwise its just retarded.

Also, I gotta wonder the "Galaxy at War" thing splits the galaxy up into sectors and shows you the readiness separately for each sector, because as far as I can tell it increases the same amount for each sector each time you play multiplayer. All my sectors were at 50%, then I played a bit of multiplayer and they're all now at 55%, so why are they split up?

[RU Version requiring EN patch]
cdkeys ( .com.au ) :: $40
directgamekeys :: $37
cdkeyshere :: $34

[Multi-language version]
cdkeys ( .com.au ) :: $47
intkeys :: $44 (or ~$41 if you use coupon code e0ab2639a1)

So in summary I'd recommend the intkeys multi-lang couponed version if you want a hassle/patch free install.

How much time have you spent with the game to already have completed it multiple times DM? I'm up to like 30 hours and still on my first playthrough, but then I'm being pretty OCD about doing everything and finding everything and talking to everyone.

I think my 1st playthrough ran about 25 hours, then I had a 8 hour one for ashley where I ploughed through main content only up to the point of the final mission. Way to much time on my hands. I want to try for a 100% done one or at least as close to it as I can manage but I've missed out on too much study time so that will have to wait.

A question for those who have finished the game: I notice every time I go back to the war room to check on my army/fleet status that the required minimum has increased.

Does this mean I have to try to get as many alliances ASAP without wasting time on crappy side-quests or does it only mean that as alliance-making missions come up, I should try to ensure I succeed in each one regardless of how long it takes or what else I do?
DM
Posted 01:44pm 12/3/12
I don't think the minimum bar changes does it? I never thought it was moving. That just means you can't do the final mission without at least that much of people/gear behind you that's all. Not timer based or anything so take as much time as you need. Side missions often lead to your fleet size growing so it's best to do as many as you can. I heard that if you do most of the missions it has an effect on a pretty serious choice you have to make later.

Yeah, it seems kind of stupid that Wrex dying is the default "canon" version, cos the bits with him are so cool. There were some rather good bits with Thane too, so it sucks that hes dead by default too.

Samara died on my suicide mission in ME2, so shes not in ME3 for me, but I'm assuming she shows up when you're doing the mission at the Ardat Yakshi sanctuary?

This is pretty much quickly becoming the best Mass Effect game for me, I mean ME2 was great and all but this is just topping it in every way. And so much more epic. I guess a large part of it is seeing all the stories come to an end as well, so it might not be as good if you hadn't played the previous ones.
DM
Posted 01:05am 13/3/12
Yeah that's where she comes into play. Aside from that I never saw her again. Hope you weren't like me though, playing with headphones on and the volume up then you hear a banshee scream. Holy f*** those things make your ears bleed and I guess rightfully so. It just makes me panic hearing those things on top of the other mobs that come with them to worry about. Thane's appearance is awesome I thought, also his line of Spoiler:
that assassin should be ashamed, a terminally ill drell stopped him getting to his target
made me lol.

Best moment with wrex though if he lived in #1 is Spoiler:
if you choose to lie about the cure and kill morden. Wrex finds out next time you go to the citadel and attacks you and you get the renegade option to kill him
. He is f*****g piiiiiissed off to say the least, and with good reason. I want to do another, final run of the game but I really can't be arsed because of the endings. Hell it's not even the game ending that bothers me. It's that there's literally no ending to the romance part of things.

Spoiler:
If you take your romance girl/guy on the final mission with you as you would normally do thinking something will happen like a final scene between them, they just die along with person #2 in the group. There is no touching farewell to them, no speech, not even acknowledgement that they just died in front of you and you'll never be together again. Hell, there isn't even a camera pan to show your dead team mates or anything and you are just expected to carry on.
The f*** kind of way is that to treat a story they spent like 40 - 50 hours building up over the course of 2 games?

Decent game, was quite happy right until the ending (trying not to give spoilers).

Pros:
- Good dialogue and interesting characters
- Lesbians
- Combat was a bit more diverse than previous games, felt more engaging
- The story mode seems interesting for further playthroughs to skip combat

Cons:
- The ending
- Also, the ending
- Melee is horrible
- Quests were sometimes hard to keep track of
- I felt the story lacking in immersion primarily because the choices you were presented with sometimes felt disjointed or even useless, like it didn't matter what choices you made
- This was also culminated in the ending

It was pretty clear that sacrifice was a big theme throughout but the way they tried to push choices which lead to the same events happening anyway didn't seem to fit all that well with their polarised paragon/renegade system, not to mention it just left me feeling like a passive bystander sometimes.

Overall I'm confused with a lot of the ratings the game is getting, this is nowhere near a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination but neither does it justify the massive backlash it got at release. Sans the ending I would give this a solid 8/10 but mainly for the characters (knock 2 off that including the ending).

I also have a sinking feeling that they will probably release another DLC (aka do a fallout) which changes the ending but I can't help feeling that it won't be motivated by anything other than milking out some more cash.

This. For example why would you EVER pick Spoiler:
siding with the geth over the quarians when it results in tali killing herself so you lose an important team mate and then the ending results in the geth being destroyed anyway by the blue/red science?

Posted 05:13pm 14/3/12
I'm not paragon, I'm mostly renegade, and I still ended up with the geth and the quarians working together. I loved that whole section actually, from the geth dreadnaught through the geth server and then the reaper base, was all awesome.

Spoiler:
For me, Legion sacrificed himself to upgrade the geth and make them more intelligent and more awesome, and they have joined me in the fight against the reapers and are helping the quarians to recolonise rannoch. And the quarian fleet has also joined me.


Sounds to me like the choices you make can have pretty huge effects on the game, not that I've looked into ALL the different things that can happen, but just the wildly different versions of the geth thing and the krogan genophage thing that I've heard tell me theres some pretty huge differences in the way things can play out.

Spoiler:
I didn't go renegade on the genophage thing, I told Mordin about the sabotage and he went up to the tower to fix it and ended up sacrificing himself to cure the genophage. But my friend went full renegade and he ended up having to kill Mordin to stop him fixing the tower, and then blamed it on the Krogans. Then later on the citadel Wrex found out what he had done, and he killed Wrex. Thats pretty damn different to the way it played out for me.

Did you have Legion? Cos he was like the lynchpin for it, he brokers the peace. If you don't have Legion do you still get to do the bit where you go inside the Geth server? Cos he was the one that arranged that too and sorted it out all out.

F***, if you don't have Legion how does any of that play out, cos hes so vital to that whole section after the dreadnaught :S
DM
Posted 05:16pm 14/3/12
Yeah he was there with me. 1st time when I turned against him and sided with tali the prick tried to kill me. I didn't have an option to do any renegade or paragon talking either so that was a bust. 2nd time through I sided with him and same thing no options for peace so the other path played out. I'll get around to doing a real careful playthrough one day but I've just managed to get the dolphin emulator working so I have many high res wii games to rip from my collection and play. Look pretty amazing actually.

EDIT - I heard that if legion is dead he is replaced by a standard geth named Geth IV, same events happen though

This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we're taking into account so many decisions that you've made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It's not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C.

Pretty much your last sentence. People felt cheated that it ended with all but a colour change. Hell I just watched all 6 endings and wouldn't have been able to tell the difference albeit the colour.
Khel
Posted 05:11pm 17/3/12
I liked the ending, I think the problem is most people take the last few minutes of the game as "the ending" and look at it out of context. To me, the ending was pretty much everything that happened once you got to earth, with all the saying goodbye to your crew members and giving epic speeches and stuff, that all felt like part of the ending to me.

At the very least you have to take everything once you return to the citadel as the ending, and even looking at it that way, I still found it pretty satisfying. If you get tunnel vision and look at just that last choice as the ending out of context of the rest of the game then sure, it could seem a bit underwhelming, but to me most of that stuff just felt like an epilogue, cos everything had already been resolved by that point essentially. The game wrapped up absolutely every storyline and every character arc possible, so I couldn't hope for a better ending to the series tbh.

Its not really like a COD game or something where you can just watch the final cutscene and claim you've now watched the ending, it just doesn't work out of context like that. I agree with Zapo, I think people are just butthurt that it wasn't some huge heroic happy ending, or that it wasn't the ending they had imagined in their heads, which blinds them to just enjoying the game for what it is and enjoying the story that was told. Its not really uncommon for that to happen though, I can't remember the last time a long-running popular series finished and people weren't b****ing about how much they hated the ending, it never lives up to what they had imagined in their heads.
Khel
Posted 05:25pm 17/3/12
One of the legitimate criticisms I've seen that I sort of agree with is that it was a bit late in the piece to introduce that character at the end who was the controller of the reapers and the architect behind the whole thing, it was a bit out of left field. But when I thought about it, it didn't offend me quite as much as it originally had, cos I mean they drop plenty of references throughout the game to how many cycles there has been, and how many races there has been before these ones, and how little they actually know about the citadel or who build it, etc, so its not hard to imagine that thing being one of the first races (or a product of one of the first races). Just would have been nice to maybe build up to that reveal instead of just springing it on the player at the end.

Spoiler:

I do find it amusing though what people consider the "good" ending. A lot people seem to consider the one where Shepard survives to be the "good" ending, I've even seen it described as the "perfect" ending, but to me it doesn't seem very good. I mean, all the geth get killed, and EDI gets killed, and even though hes not dead Shepard is probably crippled and in agony.

To me, the "good" ending was the synthesis one. Yeah, Shepard dies, but everyone else ends up better off and the galaxy in general seems to end up in a much better state

I haven't played the game but from my completely ignorant layperson's perspective, PA's wrap up seemed to be fairly reasonable, ending with this:

bah i couldn't save both the geth and the quarians. had to make a choice between the two. apparently you need to have imported saves from previous games where you resolved the conflict between legion and tali. since you meet legion for the first time in me3, if you don't import a save game, you can't save both. :(

Yeah, PA seems to be one of the only websites talking sense amongst the tsunami of tears about the ending. This bit stands out for me too cos its exactly how I felt about the game also:

I guess this comes down to when you think the ending starts. Like Tycho, I consider Mass Effect 3 to be “the ending”. The game starts with Earth under attack and from that point on it’s a mad dash to try and stop the Reapers. I’d argue that if you like ME3 then you liked the ending.


The whole game felt like the ending to me too, until I read this on PA I thought I held some freakish point of view that nobody else did but I'm glad to find out I'm not completely alone (even if I do seem to be in the minority).

Found this article to be a good read too, and it mostly mirrored my views also.

Posted 11:05am 19/3/12
I have to agree with Khel and Gabriel (Penny Arcade) on this topic. I felt that the entire game was the true ending, a wrapping up of each characters story arc including commander sheperds story.

The only part of the game which I felt disappointed by (a very slight disappointment) is that the ending reward was too little on detail as to how the choices you make affect the galaxy in a positive or negative light in the long term.

Spoiler:

At the ending cutscene at about 60 seconds in length, this does seem to be far too cheap a reward for tying up loose ends and for 50+ hrs or 150+ hrs of gameplay if you include ME1 & 2.

After I had invest all that time, not only in commander sheperd but also the secondary characters, I felt that I should have gotten more detail than a quick 60 second clip of showing a crash landing of the normandy on a green planet. Assuming that my teammates had been vaporised and commander sheperd dead from throwing himself into the beam (I did the synthesis ending).

Instead they simply gave you a cliffs notes or hints that this is how things turned out and you can use your imagination for the rest. This also discourages me from playing through the entire series again as I know that I can't affect the ultimate outcome.



Sure I think that the choices that you make do have an effect on the story afterall it's your story, and everyones may be slightly different (or greatly).

Aside from the above point, I think Bioware did a fantastic job and I'll be looking forward to seeing if there is a ME4.

What number of military strength points did peeps end up with before starting the final mission (Assault cer hq)? Does it make much difference?

I saw somewhere you need 4000 to get the best ending, and I've seen on other fourms peeps had 7000.

I Imported saves from ME1 and ME2 with most s*** done and ultra paragon. In ME3 I've researched every galaxy to 100%, done all the side quests I could find, and have been ultra paragon (Got everyone working together except the Solarians are a bit pissy about curing the genophage) yet my military strenth is like 3200. wtfbbq!?

playing multiplayer also increases it i think.

Yeah, your galactic readiness affects the military strength, and playing multiplayer raises that. 3200 still seems a bit low though, I thought you were sposed to be able to get 4000 without needing to play multiplayer, but I don't really know.

Military strength aside, I finished the game.

Think the fanboy rage at the ending is way over-rated, if you take the very final cutscene as the ending then of course you'd miffed, but really the last 30-40 minutes of the game is the ending, and that's all awesome - overall a great wrap up. I can see why peeps would want all the questions answered, but thats standard ending fair.

Spoiler question!?

Spoiler:
I didn't fully understand the controller kid though, he created the reapers and the cycles to prevent the inevitable chaos of humans creating synthetics and causing war? Who created him? Was he a synthetic?
