Next trilogy, I'm gonna be able to play it on my microwave.


Defeat Reapers, receive popcorn. I'm OK with this.

You could probably wrap B.F. Skinner's casket in copper wire, attach a pair of leads, and power the entire East Coast indefinitely right now.


Sounds like a damn good idea for a sidequest right there.

Since PS likes their titles to have additional content, and they have less stringent file size guidlines for PSN, so you're saying it's possible that PS3 owners could get the rainbow and unicorns ending?
I would love to see the impact of that around here. Image IPB


Heck I'm a 360 owner, I only have ME1/2 for the 360, I'd end up getting ME3 on the 360 anyway, and I'd be one of the people directly screwed by this and I'd still pay to see that, especially after the ME:Genesis crapstorm.

Someone confirm this but APPARENTLY its possible to be with your LI/VS at the end... but Liara is always marooned.

True?


You can headcanon reunite with your LIs unless your LI is Liara. She either dies or is marooned.

Yeah, it sucks.

No, not really. In order for that to happen you have to break up with them.

I'm ok with the relay thing...Its just, a backwater planet filled with inreds

really

REALLY!?

When they differed on the relays, they should also differ on the fate of the crew, I dont want Disney, but I dont want...Whatever this is

EDIT: And im disgusted by the excellent build up of trust in character only to have them ****** in our face, I think I am no longer 'biodrone' status, this is just wrong

Something that sucks less than Chobot on a PSP?

Don't we all.

Whatever, BW has painted themselves into a corner now. Their "idiot" endings cannot be changed as copies have been shipped starting a week ago to suppliers in order to be sent to folks on time. Now they're stuck with their own garbage of their own making - BW got exposed by their own stupidity. Even some of the testers they hired felt forced to inform fans of Mass Effect 3 and how bad the ME 3 turned out to be, plus BW's idiocy of the Space disaster came back to bite them in the ****. The moment I saw that clunker I groaned out loud and gave them 2 days at most for photos to appear on Utube. I think I was dead on accurate on that prediction. Even a fool could predict the outcome of that stunt - that alone was an indication of the type of thinking going on at BW. To me at least that alone proved their thinking is so flawed and out of thouch with reality none of them understood the PR nightmare they were directly responsible for and proved in depth by the multiple leaks here. Just as their thinking in the final mission - idiotic, pointless, and so amateurish as to defy any SF logic let alone magic logic.

That is what I don't get. How did he cut out 7-13 hours of gameplay? Maybe he played on easy and skipped a bunch of stuff? 

One of the people who played the game who was a comminity manager did an AMA on reddit /r/masseffect and she said it took her weeks and weeks to finish because she wanted to complete every side mission and stuff. Even if she only had 1-2 hours a day to play it, that is a lot of game time. 

I think you can make the game a lot shorter if you ignore all the dialogue.  I imagine the dialogue/convo scenes make up almost half of the game.

Just my opinion, though.  I know i can do 90%+ run of ME2 in about 10-13 hours since I know where I'm going and don't need to listen to any uneeded dialogue.

I hate to be obnoxious and say this again, but i would like to add that the review at IGN is PAST the 20 hour mark in game time and he is still not even close to being done with the game.

I believe he said that when you import, which he had, it automatically sets it to RPG mode.

In addition to what IGN mentioned, the polish review we have states that it's 15 - 20 hours for the main quest and 40 hours for everything completed.

And I will state again that the SA guy has said he's not sure 'they're definitely stranded', plus they seem genuinely happy. If you're willing to go back through pages and pages, you'll find where I gave the actual quotes.

Can't personally answer that. But I know a few things don't sit right. According to Xoi, the sex scenes are ME 1 like, with some being unclothed and such (and no, this is not about the sex scenes. It's about the information out there possibly not being entirely correct). The bbfc certification mentions nothing about there being nudity. I would have thought they'd have been aware if there was?

And then there's the fact that it's been mentioned you need 5,000 EMS to get the best ending, no matter the choices made? If you have between that and 4,000, then you need to make the 'right decisions'. Both the SA guy and Xoi seem to think it's impossible to reach the 5,000 ESM rating though.

My headcanon involves Shepard storming a certain studio in Canada and forcibly moving them to somewhere without electricity. Such as the Moon.

For one Xio's had the game for a week now.  Secondly, you don't need to do every little sidequest to get the perfect ending and 5000 readiness though you may need MP.  If you make the right choices in earlier games and in this game you're not forced to choose between war assets, meaning you don't have to do every little thing.  Beyond that Xio said he did all the war asset related system quests.  The ending he showed us is the perfect ending (EDI and Joker only) according to the script, Tank's charts, everything.  

As far as the epilogue Xio said the two planets skylines seemed exactly the same to him.  It was his impression that they were stranded and the epilogue insinuates there is no space flight.  Now whether that means everywhere or it just means off that planet is anyone's guess.

Well that could mean that they both missed sth. like sidequests (which might depend on the two previous games) not being unlocked or sth.
