Mass Effect 3

It's not, I saw it on another forum. They just took some stock photo and slightly manipulated it.

Apparently, the game has sixteen different endings. I don't know the difference between them (haven't looked up the spoiler-tagged bits in this thread or in that IGN link since I really don't want to get spoiled for this game), but that seems a tad ridiculous (good, though - at least we get a lot of variety, I assume).

There's different endings, with full blown cinematics and vastly different outcomes, and then theres different text scrawls that just say "and then this happened" or "and this one character is standing over there instead of that character."

Dragon Age has dozens of endings, but only two of them are significantly different or really change your final experience (or the sequel for that matter)... and its still mostly in text.

Just finished the game, mmmh mixed feelings. I'm one of the people that avoided absolute anything spoilerish about the game. Even when last year the huge leak happened.

Spoiler:

I'm kind of bummed out right now because of the endings and I don't think it's going to change (really not so much about what happened but rather the execution), what worked for deus ex 3 does not work for ME3 (the "ending choosing room" comes off really dumb in ME3) at least not for me. That said the ride to it was glorious although a few little complains here and there but it was really good. Going to reflect a little more on the experience.

Anyone playing on PS3 having framerate problems. I'm hearing that the problems from the demo are still in the full game.

[The Beast]

I am maybe halfway

Spoiler:

Curing Genophage was amazing and Mordin went out like a champ.

Thane dying :(

Udina being a sleeper agent lol. He truly was inconsiquential. p.s. i shot him

I hate myself for not telling Kelly to change her identity. She died. I blame ME's vague choices, I didn't fucking know what CHANGE IDENTITY meant or implied and why I'd pick that over giving her a sishug

I've been playing multiplayer more than I anticipated. Having only an hour or so between work and classes doesn't give me enough time to accomplish much in game. And they lost the planet scanning mini-game that I used to fill those time slots with.

At least I got my Turian Sentinel! But I hate his moveset! And why do I have to unlock (randomly) the ability to change the secondary colors on online characters? That's inanity to the highest degree! That was the feature I was looking forward to most, and now it's relegated to a "keep it up and MAYBE you'll get it later" -___-

It's here~~~! I don't imagine I will be seeing many of my friends over the next week or so.
Is it just the PS3 version that has framerate problems? I got it for the 360 so hopefully it won't affect me.

[Sakonosolo]

Yes, the PS3 version is the only one with framerate problems.

[Oga Simpson]

That's ok then, cheers.

Is anyone else's Mech Dog glitching something fierce? Mine just hobbles about, sometimes I'm able "examine" it, but Shepard just barks a command in a badly artifacted voice and the dog will sometimes do something different. One Time I told it to "stay" and a minute later is layed down on it's side like it was dead.

[Gekko135]

My robo dog was laying on the ground and I thought it was dead. But then it's leg twitched like it was dreaming. ^^

Ok, multiplayer.

Anyone got any good builds?

[mrkaizoku]

My favorite multiplayer character out of the ones that I have used is the Asari Adept with Stasis Bubble. Load out with a sniper rifle and be the hero of your team. Or you could be a Vanguard and rape your way across the map.

While we're on the subjects of vanguards...

[Sakonosolo]

I really liked the power I used in the demo where you biotically rushed an opponent and knocked them back, whichever class that belongs to. My character's an infiltrator, though, because I just HAD to pick the one with the sniper rifle.

Sniper Rifles aren't exclusive to Infiltrators & Soldiers anymore.

[Sakonosolo]

They were in the first Mass Effect though.

Well after realizing how unfun it could be playing as a certain class and getting stuck with weapons not ideal in all situations in Mass Effect 2 they made it so you could specialize in specific weapons and built on top of that for 3.

[Sakonosolo]

It's actually kind of funny because I almost exclusively used a pistol in ME1 and the hand cannons in ME2.

[Green_vs_Red]

^ As powerful as they've made Adepts and Vanguards it's almost tempting to forgo the guns and just rely on your biotics.
