I don't remember the exact time I spent in each one of them (can't check either, since Xbox 360 is currently across the country for me), but I know I spend a lot of time in ME3 trying to figure out the side missions because the journal doesn' update itself (which is ridiculous). I also remember I spent a lot of time in ME3 going around trying to talk to people when all they would do was talk to themselves and I would site there and listen, with no chance to interact. 

Since it was the epic finally, I thought we would get 3 discs for the 360, but nope, just 2. And there were less missions than in ME2, so...I was a little disappointed when I was done (I finished it in 2 days after doing every little single thing I could do)

That's what I was saying earlier. I spent so much time lost, trying to figure out the fetch quest from the stupid journal. So much time wasted with useless non interactable "ambient" dialogue. So much time wasted running around looking for someone to eavesdrop on so I might be able to get a quest (which going back to the first point, I won't even know how to finsh). The game would be even shorter still if I could avoid all that crap.

Also Mass Effect 3 was the smallest install size of the series on my computer at under 10 GB. Smaller than even ME1. Considering it's full of what are supposed to be high-res textures and the such, the only reason that it's the smallest, is because there's much less there in the first plce by comparison.

Another HUGE plot hole from the ending : On Virmire in ME1, you learn from Sovereign that the Reapers built the Citadel.

So they built the Catalyst, and he built the Reapers ?

Circular reasonning here !

/Good night. ^^



meeeeeeh dismissable handwave. We're told that the Reapers built it, but the person telling us doesn't know it for a fact. Basically all the tech that had been attributed to the Protheans up to that point was mostly tech from the time of the Reapers. So the assumption is that it was made by the Reapers. Hard to imagine a giant space ship without thumbs making anything on such a small scale though.

Realistically, the origins of the Citadel and the Relays is that they were probably made by the race that originally constructed the "Star Child" AI.

So does anyone know how long it would take to get from Earth to Tuchanka using FTL drives?

It'd be interesting to know just how useful FTL drives actually would be if Mass Relays are gone.



OVER 100 years.

voyager was just beyond the delta quadrent and they had 72 years at warp 9.996 to get home but they would have to stop every few days to let the engines cool and resupply and so on so it would have taken roughly 109 years.

now in the ME universe the engines would need to stop every few hours as they are prone to overheating BUT if it was possible to fly there in FTL 24/7 it would take WAY OVER 100 years

It has been linked so many times that the more diligent forum goers have been threatening to slap the next person to link it. Fortunately your avatar is a little blue child so might get off with 5 minutes in the naughty corner.


It wouldn't be the first time I've been slapped, so don't fret.  ;)

I skimmed a couple pages and didn't see it so figured I'd risk it.  As awesome as it is that this thread keeps moving along at the speed it does, it also makes it so easy for stuff to get overlooked or lost.  I'm always glad when I see "Mr Bonds" summary of links so I can look for anything I've missed.

I got such a laugh out of that video at some points.  I may not agree 100% but I can respect his views as they obviously come from the kind of love we all had for this series up until the ending of ME3.

Back to the job hunt for me.......

Just rteceived my game informer mag, and in the second opinion column of the ME3 review, he states "don't be dismayed by some user's complaints about the endings". So should we not listen to around 90% of the fanbase and switch the definition of some and most around?

The fact that they mention that means its really effecting sales.

Cancel your subs to game informer, IGN and all others. Easiest way to get those idiots to listen is to cut the legs out from under them. If even half of the retake movement canceled those subscriptions I guarantee you that they would cut the bull**** off real quick

So it's useless. All those colonies that required minerals and supplies brought in are dead, curing the krogan and then stranding it's only wise leader on earth, basically guarantees the krogan will destroy themselves again. Basically galactic civilization is doomed. Some kind of ending. Why did I try to stop the Reapers again?

It's fine that people liked the endings, but I have to wonder sometimes if we played the same game. Everyone that has issue with the endings has gone into DETAIL as to why they are disappointed, and I have said this many a times but I have yet to hear details as to why they are good. All I  want is to know, not to debate it or say you're wrong I just want to know.

We are actually on Biowares side here  ( most of us) and know they can do better. We have SEEN them do better. So complaining/ giving feedback about them not giving the endings their all or their due,  or multiple paths isn't a insult but rather a "What the **** happened"?


If anything be "dismayed" as to why they are so adamant to protect them (Bioware) when even some journalists are saying something wrong happend at the end (not exactly their words but you get the idea)

*Sigh* man this makes my head hurt sometimes. I get invested in something and i wont shut up.

Meh. It is an opinion column, and part of the problem with "reviews" is that most of the time the reviewers are either biased, FORCED to be biased, or just plain haven't finished the game. This is why I like Total Biscuit, he tells you upfront that his vids aren't reviews so much as "First Impressions." 

For the record, he was boycotting the game already because of the Disc Locked Content, and seems pretty happy to have gone without having the ME Universe "defiled". When told by Jesse Cox during a podcast about the ending (Red, Blue, or Green: Choose Wisely), TB responded..... like the rest of us would have. "No, not possible. Bioware couldn't have dropped the ball like that." And then he was sad.

Look at this:

Playstation ME3 Price
Xbox ME3 Price


These are Canadian prices.  This is sad...normally it takes months to see a price drop like that, rather than just 1.  Heck, I've seen games that are virtually the same price as they were starting off after years of being for sale:  Valkyria Chronicles is one of them.

This has to be hurting their bottom line.



 
Notice it says "top seller". Wonder if that is minus returns.

Yes there are really some rare people who liked the endings, like they are.. the even think of them as great.. but that is a minority seen (so Ihad the feeling when I looked through german comments on the game).
But most people say there is somthing wrong with the endings and that they are unsatisfing.

And I even have a german games journal were they tell you, that the game is pretty good, but the endings are dissapointing and they stated the endings as a big negative point.

Because any ending that didn't result in you dooming the galaxy by your own hands would've been to mainstream.

Funny thing about that is... there are a lot of movies/games/books that result in dooming somthing like a whole world/galaxy/land cause of the actions of the main character ^^
