Shush. Sadface could mean anything, or I could be pulling a Gaia-esque conspiracy to throw you all off.

Oh I'm not mad, I'm just like fuuu I just realized I better not be in here. I didn't even know Thessia's involved (though i could guess), but it seems like Illium is the one getting hit hard right now.

All I know was that I am satisfied with what occurs in Tuchanka.

awesome, ain't it?

and boy, not sure what some people mean when they say the game is so much shorter. I'm close to 30 hours of playtime, still got a shit ton of side quests open for systems that aren't even available yet, don't have all my squad mates yet and still am supposed to meet several folks from the older games (I assume).

I'm also very satisfied with the DLC squad mate. In ME2 Zaeed and Kasumi just didn't have anything to say anymore once you finished their missions. But for this squad mate there's actually more stuff and conversations post-mission, which makes him/her/it much more valueable as a squad mate, IMO.

Because folks are looking for anything possible to be pissed about this game. The fact is, there isn't much, at least not at where I'm at. So some of the N7 missions are the multiplayer maps. Big deal. They used the same hangar, mine, ship or compound for every mission in 1, and there was only a marginally different variety in 2.

there really isn't much to complain about. The questlog (or whatever it is called in english versions) could be a little better. It doesn't really show updates for your quests and when you find something that you need for a certain quest, you kind of have to remember what that was so you know which person to go to. And you often get fetch quests for areas that are not even available yet which can be confusing too. I'm not saying the game should hold your hand more but a little more clarity would have been appreciated, heh. But that's really just minor complaints. Peanuts compared to how awesome the game is otherwise.

The full-on version of Fallout New Vegas has me harder than Wolverine's spine.

[EphelDuath666]

I won't spoil anything. But I will at least say that after 36 hours I'm still not done by any means and everything I have experienced in the game so far has been awesome. So if anyone says that the game is crap from start to finish and an insult to fans then I poo in that person's face

Because there's a certain kind of nerd that has a hive mind, and immediately they all believe an individual's opinion to be a universal truth. I'm not saying folks can't come to the same conclusions, but it's literally been the same kinda bullshit over ME 3 basically since multiplayer was announced. Their minds were made up before the game was released.

Haven't got ME3 yet, but the multiplayer requirement for the best possible ending I find slightly insulting. I have no real desire or intention of playing online, so I am automatically disqualified it seems. The rest of the game can be fantastic, and I'm sure it is as I read things here and there, but I can play however well I want to and still get a (reasonably) crap ending. Which is lamesauce.

Nah, you can get a perfect ending without even touching it. People are retarded and mad for no reason. All the multiplayer does is set the bar lower for that perfect ending.

I pre ordered Diablo 3 :B


also release date was announced

POSSIBLE SPOILERS...well, not really actually but some people may not want to read 'anything' about Mass Effect 3 before they have finished it.


not quite sure about that, I did just about everything I could side quest-wise and put 43 hours into the game and did not get my effective military strength above 3,550. At least not the way I wanted to play the game and obviously I'm not gonna make any shitty dicisions just to get more war assets. And like I said, there was nothing else for me to do. I spent tons of time checking for Citadel quests and did not miss one of them and used my Spectre terminal effectively too. So for me personally, the way I wanted to play the game, it was impossible to get what is necessary to get the best ending just in the single player campaign.

Having that said, it just took me a few hours in multiplayer to get my galactic readiness to 100% and I used my 48 hour Xbox live code for that which raised my effective military strength to over 7,100. And I must say ME3's multiplayer is actually fun. Pretty addictive so I'm glad I only used a 48 hour code for it so I won't get too hooked, heh. There's only 6 maps but it's still enjoyable. Kind of like a mix of Gears of War's horde mode and enemy territory. And it worked pretty well for me, even with my slow internet connection.

So yeah, as you may have guessed already....I finally beat the game after 43 awesome hours. I have no clue why people are complaining about the ending of the game. I'm not gonna spoil anything but I thought it's a pretty darn good conclusion to this story. I assume people just fire any shit they can at BioWare and Mass Effect 3 because there was day 1 DLC and because there's a multiplayer mode. I mean there were tons of negative comments the day the game was released, or before it was even released and I doubt they all played ME3 for over 40 hours before the game was actually released.

Anywhoo, I'm very pleased with this game. I don't think any game will kick it off my personal game of the year throne. Next up...ME3 on insanity difficulty. ....I mean....

WHAT.

OH GOD MY LIFE IS OVER AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT OH MY GOD DIABLO 3 DIABLO 3 DIABLO 33333333333333!

Just spent nearly 19 hours playing Arkham Asylum. Damn addictive game. Haven't eaten, haven't slept, and I'm only on the second-to-last mission (but then, I did have a lot of replays, plus all those Riddler easter eggs). Giving it a rest because the time I've spent on it is ludicrous, plus that mission I'm on now, just before the fight with the Joker, is really pissing me off. C'est la vie.
