Multiplat Mass Effect 3

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

I'm on PC.

But I have BF3 (never played because of Skyrim lol), Arkham City and Skyrim installed on my new comp.

I'm about to dl the D3 open beta for the weekend, but will definitely get that when it's out.

Sweet mate. Shoot me an invite if you see me online w/ Origin.

I only got a lowly laptop, but its good for ME3 . Thats enough for me

Started my Insanity (3rd) playthrough and I just finished Sur'Kesh. So far it is not as hard as ME2 was on Insanity, but the Grissom Academy mission was rediculous. It took me an hour and a half to 2 hours to beat that one mission.

But I did feel accomplished

Halfway through my 2nd playthough, this time as FemShep.

Finding the FemShep voice acting/dialogue to be much more believable/fluent than the Male Shep alternative.

Didn't have any FemShep ME2 gameplay, so I've missed out on Jack, Grunt, etc this time round, which has definitely hurt this particular play though imo.

Yeah I've always thought the male voice actor to be rather average.

Just finished my first playthrough. The main place i had issues with was trying to activate the hammers to attract the thresher maw, and right near the end of the game when all the banshees are coming at you.

I dunno. Overall i liked the game but it certainly didn't feel as epic as the first 2. I wasn't overly upset at the ending like a lot have been, but the story in general was pretty weak.
The buff latino guy added nothing imo, weak character (especially compared to say, Zaeed), evidenced by the fact i can't remember his name. Garrus still the man.

Also didn't like how restricted I was in my team choices, far less squad members to choose from than ME2.

Had almost full paragon by the end but for some reason the absolute final paragon(blue) choice was greyed out for me. Sorta sucked that i had to finish the game with my pure paragon character with a renegade interrupt

p.s. Favourite mission of the entire series has to be:

Spoiler

Curing the genophage on Tuchanka. Epic dialogue, score and writing.

Heart-wrenching too

James, and yeah some of Garrus's one liners are classic.

Spoiler

Did you purposely miss your sniper shot when at the Citidel with him?

 

[Mancey]

Yeah mate,

Spoiler

gave him his moment in the sun

My renegade femshep will blow that thing out of the sky

Started a playthrough with my renegade femshep. Idiotically forgot to activate Insanity before leaving earth so will have to start again to get the achievement. Only an hour or so down the drain.

Didn't get all the assets with the first playthrough, will try and rectify that this time

 

[scaryness]

Yeah I've always thought the male voice actor to be rather average.

I'm the opposite. I always thought Meer's reading was more beleivable and that Hale overacted a bit. But I know i'm in the minority.

So I finally got around to play this. Enjoying it so far, really eats up your time without doing to much.

Very much doing as many side missions. BUT I feel I have goofed. I spent the 50000 on buying the Collectors armour and realised after that I couldn't upgrade it.

I feel I have wasted good money that I could have upgraded weapons with.

 

[Mancey]

No drama, you'll make more credits. I bought the cerberus armour and also a couple of the spectre weapons which are 250k a pop

Also an achievement for buying 2 unique armour sets.

Not really worried. I know I will make more money just annoyed that I could have spent the money on upgrades instead.

 

[Mancey]

As an aside, it would be nice to sell things you don't need

 

[pantskyle]

That's true.

 

[pantskyle]

Have they gotten rid of mining planets?

 

[scaryness]

Mining - Yes
Scanning - No, but it is much better and much easier

 

[pantskyle]

Damn, I loved that in the last game.

Damn, I loved that in the last game.

ME1's mining was the most painful. Driving round in the Mako got boring very quickly.

Played all of 15 mins of ME1 and turned it off.

 

[Spudregus_87]

Really?

I remember actually falling asleep on more than one occasion whilst launching probes into planet after planet.

A welcome exclusion from ME3 imo.

You missed out, side missions where pretty crap but the main storyline was easily the best of the three games.

Apparently Mining minigame in ME2>>>All of ME1

 

[pantskyle]

I actually played ME2 first then realised it was epic so figured I would play the first one.

Couldn't get into it. Felt like a step back. Regret playing it out of order.

 

[SwampCreature]

I stand by my belief that ME1 is the best in the series.

ME1>>ME2>>>>ME3

 

[meltiger]

I've gotten to game 2 and have to admit whilst a clearly better designed game, I enjoyed ME1 much much more.
