What is it about Bioware that attacts all these creepy obsessives? You got the "Tali mai waifu", Krogan butthole superfans on one side and these rabid malcontents on the other, and neither have the self-awareness required to understand that maybe they're not so different after all and that what they're doing is by no means acceptable human behavior. All that over some big dumb scifi RPG shootan gallery? I really don't get it.

I think its just the internet in general that attracts this obsessiveness. I read stuff on GAF where people are so upset about a game not being what they want it to be that they seem like they want to go out and start harassing people.

Internet continues to be distinguished mentally-challenged, because it's the internet. Hey how about that multiplayer? Kinda shit or complete shit? Played a few rounds of it yesterday and have no interest in ever doing so again.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #126 on:** February 20, 2012, 02:12:22 PM »

You will be interested in it cause you want the best ending right? Seems that multiplayer helps with your readiness level. And if you don't play every few days that level goes down. So in order to get the best ending not only do you have to freaking make all the right choices, but you have to play their godawful multiplayer. No mention of if your readiness from SP will also go down over time or not.

So in reaction to this we need to get bore squads going to finish the fight.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #127 on:** February 20, 2012, 02:58:04 PM »

Pretty sure they've said that you don't need to play multi to get the best end but it helps.

cool breeze · « **Reply #128 on:** February 20, 2012, 03:31:28 PM »

yeah, I think all that extra stuff is supposed to make it easier, or something. If you were going to play it The Way It Was Meant To Be Played™, you'd also need that iPhone/Pad game, the books, Razer™ gaming gear, Tali love pillow, Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning demo, that iPhone/Pad Codex app, Kinect™, Mass Effect 3 Pre-order at Gamestop®, Amazon.com®, and Best Buy®, Taco Bell, Mountain Dew, Stride, Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition Prima Official Game Guide, and the Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition.

At least with ME2 the only content that mattered, and that's stretching it a bit thin too, was the Zaeed mission you got for buying it at launch. Everyone else were unnecessary extras like a scouter for Shepard.

Hi all!

We're happy to confirm that Mass Effect 3: From Ashes DLC will be available at launch for all platforms. For those of you who have purchased the N7 Collector's Edition (including the PC Digital Deluxe Edition), you will get this content at no extra charge. We'll have a lot more details for you later this week! Stay Tuned!

DLC is a new squad member,but according to leaked stuff he plays a pretty big role in the main quest.I guess you just won't be able to recruit him without DLC.

pretty lame

I heard there was day 1 DLC for awhile now, but I assumed it was tied to an online pass for new buyers. If you only get the content if you buy the CE this is six shades of bullshit.

That being said I'll probably get the CE now :'(

The DLC is $10. If you buy the regular version of the game and the DLC from XBL, it's still $20 cheaper than the useless CE.

That DLC thing is pretty shitty. Is the PC version using Bioware's proprietary currency or is it through Origin? ME2 DLC doesn't go on sale on PC because Bioware sucks, whereas it has on consoles though PSN and XBL.

It's still fucking bullshit that if you buy a game day 1, you won't have all the content unless you fork out another $10. I've been pretty tolerant of DLC shenanigans in the past, but this crosses the line.

Lmao, is that the actual quote?

it reads as: "unfortunately for us, Steam has a more ethical business model and won't let us buttfuck our customers with expensive DLC"

Yeah, that's the exact quote. And you're spot on with the translation.

Here's how Steam works:

-Search for DLC
-Purchase DLC with cash money
-DLC downloads automatically and installs automatically

Here's how EA/Bioware works:

-Go to Bioware's social website
-Sign up for Bioware's social website
-Purchase Bioware Bux
-Search for DLC
-Purchase DLC and have some Bioware Bux left over but not enough to actually buy anything else
-Download executable file
-Install executable file

Well today I wasted most of my day. Both of the high atmospheric balloon's dropped in unreachable areas. I got to the second beacon area before anyone else. But was asked to leave the property. It is on private property, the other was stuck on a cliff then a few hours later dropped into a ravine that's not accessible. I thought about going out there tonight and getting it before the police get to it tomorrow. But it sounds like too much work.

The cellphone reception was shit so trying to call up the dude from EA was neigh impossible.

This was probably more exciting than the game is gonna be.

PS3 version still has some problems

Quote

It's also worth noting that a few technical issues arise on the PS3 version as soon as you start playing, too. Fairly serious framerate issues plague the opening cinematic on Earth, and while this particular problem clears up as you play further through the game via future cutscenes, these hitches certainly concerned me early on. Likewise, lip-syncing is almost always off and characters sometimes appear stiff and can even flicker in and out of cutscenes when camera angles change.

I re-installed ME2 to play the DLC and in just messing around in a random mission the combat feels static and much slower than the ME3 demo. I thought the same when I first played ME2, compared to ME1's combat. I didn't notice how much of an improvement it was before.
