I'm doing an insanity run before I play the extra content. Also I want Kasumi. I didn't do her mission the first time.

Not sure if I'm even gonna bother to download and go through the extended ending.

Before I completed ME3, I was thinking of going through the entire game again from part 1-3. After completing ME3, I gave away the games. Lick my curry flavored balls Bioware.

I'm halfway through my second playthru, I guess I'll play up until the point of the DLC and wait. I'm excited. I know it probably won't give much extra content, just extra cinematics, but I can deal with that as long as it makes a little more sense than Starchild.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #785 on:** June 24, 2012, 10:46:29 PM »

I'm just about at the end of the game, I'll beat it to see how 'crap' the original ending is, then check out the extended ending. Once the game is beat I should have pretty much all the achievements sans the 5000 kills one.

I'm really enjoying the multi. I don't have any cool classes yet though. I got a Human Engineer up to level 20 then promoted them for an achievement. Had a go with a Quarian Infiltrator, and a Human Adept. Both seemed OK. I'm just buying heaps of Recruit packs to try and get the basic pistol and rifle up to level X. The are super light and decent all round weapons for classes that focus on using powers I think. I'm very impressed by the depth of the multi, there are many strategies to experiment with and from what I hear Gold mode is a real challenge.

What multi character classes do you guys enjoy/recommend?

I should probably just read this entire thread but I will wait until I beat the game as I'm scared of spoliers

The Sceneman · « **Reply #786 on:** June 25, 2012, 09:45:07 AM »

beat the game and got 50/52 achievements. Just need a level 10 gun and 5000 kils now. What was wrong with the ending? Why were nerdlingers writing angry emails to Bioware? The ending was sweet as far as I was concerned.

It was definitely the best ME game, hands down. The best gameplay and set pieces. I wish there were some vehicle sections but oh well. Guess idiot nerds hated those too so Bioware had to remove them.

Why did Robot EDI have a fucking camel toe? That is the biggest unanswered question of the game for me.

I'll pick up the DLC and see what they do with the ending anyhow. IMO they should have left the ending as is. So many fanboy nerbos were trolled so hard.

ending music was so cool

GOTY 9/10

only flaw was the combat could have been polished more from ME2 and it got a bit little repetitive. A little more mission and gameplay variety would have been nice. Also sidequests could have been more fleshed out (they could have cut half of the "collect X item" quests), but there was plenty of content as it is.

What was exactly "sweet" about the ending? Was it the cheesy emotional music? The fact that the same characters you were with that got blasted by Sovereign wound up magically on Joker's ship?

The nerdlingers got it right this time. It was a bad ending.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #788 on:** June 25, 2012, 10:02:30 AM »

I like the fact they did something different. It would have been so easy to just have Shepard go and activate the Crucible, then the Reapers get nuked, then everyone has a happy Ewok party with Salarians using Husk heads as bongo drums. I liked the ambiguity of the ending. I like things being open to interpretation. I can understand why you wouldn't enjoy the ending though.

I have seen much worse endings this gen. e.g. Bioshock, Halo 3, Modern Warfare

demi · « **Reply #789 on:** June 25, 2012, 11:49:58 AM »

Something "different" is what FF13-2 did, after the streak of happy endings.

Mass Effect 3 giving you a choice is a no brainer. The problem is that every ending is the same. You have no choice in a game about choices.

There's a YT video of a guy who goes over like the 10 reasons why the ending was shit and all of them were on the nose. Especially the one about Shepard just up and accepting this bullshit starchild's nonsense. My Shep would have been like, fuck you Jesus.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #790 on:** June 25, 2012, 01:54:04 PM »

I'll check out the new ending stuff but I never was really into the whole thing as much as either side. I'm fine with the ending as is.

That being said as I'm doing another playthrough what is annoying is that fucking military strength number and being forced to do all that boring shit over again. That's what annoying. They need to drop the forced time sink stuff in the series next gen. It's only there to pad out playtime.

I just don't understand the sense of entitlement gamers have. Bioware have given us this awesome piece of interactive entertainment, but because people didn't like the ending Bioware are the suck and they have betrayed us Mass Effect fans

They made a sweet trilogy which provided me with hundreds of hours of entertainment and sweet sweet gamerscore. I'm happy.

Is it DLC or a software update?

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #795 on:** June 26, 2012, 01:33:10 AM »

I'm not really sure. It's being deployed through Origin, so that would seem to suggest that it's DLC, but I can't find anything specific on the official site.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #796 on:** June 26, 2012, 01:36:39 AM »

what platform are you playing on Gundam? The download is 1.9gb, so if you're on PS3 it will most likely be DLC

It will definitely be a piece of DLC on 360

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #797 on:** June 26, 2012, 01:36:39 AM »

I'm on the PS3. I hope it's a software update so I don't have to wait until the PS Store updates at 8pm PST.

others are

fallout-esque slideshow showing krogan babies or barren wombs depending on your choice I guess.

Mass relays don't explode; now only fall apart. Said to be repairable.

Control ending has Shepard turn into a Reaper, controlling other reapers to rebuild the broken relays (seriously).

That planet Joker and crew were stranded on? yeah, they fly off it at the end.

Cosmic kid is an AI created by the original people whose job was to find a solution to the synthetic problem. Went nutso and turned those people into a reaper. Repeats cycle...or something. It's not clear.

Downloaded the DLC and watched my ending. Would recommend that you don't as its mostly a waste of time. Like I said I didn't have a problem with my original ending. This doesn't really add anything significant outside of waiting for a 1.9 gb download to finish. So it's not really useful. In a sense I prefer the original ending as its more elegant and short.

I chose the synthesis ending and what you basically get is an edi voice wrap up and a short ending cutscene that is probably variable based on who lives and dies in your playthrough.

well yeah, they are obviously working on DLC and they could obviously pre-empt some shit they'll need. Not a big deal. At least the DLC isn't unlock codes (looking at you Capcom)

Lol at having the Reapers turn into good guys. It's like Bioware lost their balls and went back on everything. And I like how in the end, the endings are the same only like in one version the illustrations have some green shit going on.

wait, so

spoiler (click to show/hide)

The new ending option is Shepard just giving up and letting the Reapers win, thus continuing the cycle.

...in which the NEXT round of civilizations will, of course, build the Crucible, be faced with the Star Child's choices, and presumably choose one, thus making Shepard's refusal to choose irrelevant. (apart from killing off humanity)

Ya, Bioware, I think you actually made it worse.
