*yawn*

You know you live in north when you start your days shoveling snow... in April.
Anything worthwhile happened? I'll be here whole day, though reading literature at the same time. And taking MP break every once in a while.

Howdy everyone! I've got a question, mb it's not relevant to this topic but anyway, here it goes!
Can somebody tell me what is the story behind Mass Effect game for iOS (iPad) *forgot its' name though -__- * and what was the ending? Does it give us any answers to the questions which we had in ME3? 
Thanks in advance!

P.S Sorry for my poor english T^T

Former lurker here. Was here since page 500, methinks, I was definitely here to see it hit the 1K mark and so on.

Helped Skaldfish give that abysmally written, ad-hominem-laden CraveOnline article a solid thrashing a while back.

Will hold the line and REINFORCE the line for as long as it takes, I've spread the word to at least a hundred and fifty friends and acquaintances to avoid anything by EA like the plague.

@Trollgunner: The iPad game is called Mass Effect: Infiltrator. The ending happened in between ME2 and ME3, I believe, and did not give any answers for ME3 at all.

The ending was inconsistent with the quality and the driving motivations of the rest of Mass Effect 3. And the thing Casey Hudson has to realize about artistic integrity... is that there has to BE some semblance of integrity within the endings for their defense to have ANY kind of legitimacy.

Was there anything remotely approaching integrity in the endings? No.

Thanks for the fast answer! Well...I really thought about getting an emu of iOS to play Inflitrator, but now I think I won't do that. I still hope that bioware now is working on a "surprise"  *real ending*, but the more bioware do lately the less I  believe in it.... At least they support their MP a lot, but ir really does not matter for me ^^

I would protest because ideally customers should have the whole product when they have paid for it, as well as right to use that product as they wish.

...but I guess I'd buy the happy ending with turian babies DLC quietly, like a ninja, and never admit it.

Would have preferred an ME2-class diversity of endings, but that would get me paying up for DLC... albeit with SIGNIFICANTLY reduced brand loyalty.

If I have to struggle to get it along with sacrifices then yes I would pay for a happy ending DLC, ergo the bittersweet ending they promised.

Multi-player is fun if you have your parents credit card and are ok with 10 ft by 10ft level constantly with no one else communicating. Also you have to be ok with friends not playing the game with you since they left for something better which is just about anything out there now. Protoype 2's ending was better and it was like 25 second cutscene with 1 line.

If you have to pay for things like mortgages, healthcare since company no longer provides it then Mass Effects multiplayer is a kick in the face since it is all about making more money. They wasted development time on crap M
me to play since to get the good stuff requires real money to be competitive. Multi-player is only co-op which draws in even less people who are the MP crows. Call it what it is... A money grab marketing test to see how stupid gamers are. To keep respect they should have never done multi-player and put that development into endings that took into account the rest of the series much less choices.

But from a business stand point the Multi Player is genius. It probably took a week or two to develop. Its a step above Pong in complexity and morons will throw real money at it to "get the good stuff" to experience a few 10ft by 10ft levels over and over again for the payoff of leveling characters then dumping them to SP to have to level them over again.

So...

We can't get the endings we want, but the simpletons got a game mode that will bleed their parents dry.

Bioware Montreal actually did the MP stuff.  SP was all in Edmonton so no time wasted. Not to mention if they managed to screw up the ending this badly from one location, imagine the plot holes coming from multiple ones

Bioware's from Canada, we get free healthcare up here.

That being said, they have said that you don't need MP to get the best ending, pretty much everyone says that's not the case... I haven't gotten close to 5000 on SP.  Also being said, EA did push them to get the game out the door thinking no one would care, they've learnt a valuable lesson and have already started changing things.. so in that case we've succeeded a lot in what we wanted from them.. just hoping they somehow salvage the ending to ME3 now.

You guys should check out my thoughts on the multiplayer and why I think it's the reason the endings are what they are. This is the thread:

http://social.biowar.../index/11486070


And remeber that this is just my opinion.

Hold the line/wallet!

I think your spot on with your post.  Good that people can enjoy MP.  It still does mean that you can pretty much bypass all that was Mass Effect pre-ME3.  Exploration of their story and their world.  The only thing to explore in ME3 is the number value and watch 2 decent scenes, 1 on Ranoch 1 on Tuchanka.

If I had to guess Ranoch and Tuchanka were done and completed then the Dev team changed the focus of the game from something epic to a DLC/Microtransaction factory.  Weather they intended the original fan base to be slighted by this or not is up to each person to decide, but with the exception of those 2 missions the game changed from an Interactive story to a linear +score push called EMS.  My highest EMS without MP was 4400 after a fresh 3 week playthrough (renegade femshep first time) and I looked at guides and decisions, did not miss a single thing in ME1, played through ME2 to make sure all were loyal and lived, made sure the crew did not die and my reward was a 1 sec "take a breath" cutscene.

I could just bypass all that, no import play MP for a few hours and skip most the fetch game to get that 1 second breath.  This is not anywhere near what ME1 was much less ME2.

It is unfortunate a point system called EMS replaced the story because the  story side suffered tremendously due to it.

I'm going to get drunk tonight! I don't usually drink but I can't take this anymore. I can't believe that after almost 2 months I can't stop feeling depressed about how bioware ruined my favorite franchise.
What have you done to me Bioware?

See ya all tomorrow. Maybe...

Not sure I know you well enough to hug so I shall just *pats back* cheer up, I know how you feel but getting drunk isnt really going to help (seeing as how alcohol is a depressant)

Well I am assuming (taking for granted that Jessica saying destroy high ems = live/ see crew is true) that the other two options must have some benifit to them that destroy does not, I really doubt they will turn the other options into the lol game over moron options... Not that we may like it if they don't do it right though.

*shrug* Well it is a depressant, why it cheers some up and not others I have no clue lol.

Alcohol is a depressant, which means it slows the function of the central nervous system. Alcohol actually blocks some of the messages trying to get to the brain. This alters a person's perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing.

In very small amounts, alcohol can help a person feel more relaxed or less anxious.

ugh can't do it lol, I wont touch ME3 today (won't get my MP pack this weekend for getting through gold as I didn't manage to yesterday though) but I stayed away from forum/thread as long as I could haha

Well maybe all the survivours will join hands and sing this http://www.youtube.c...h?v=HtDdb4-wlzA ' class='bbc_url' title='Lien externe' rel='nofollow external'>

Thats the only thing bioware seems to think synthesis means anyway. So yes, I could assume that destroy could = a longer time for Galaxy to rebuild compared to others... I am still open for there being a "wrong" choice though, I mean romancing Mornith in me2 is a bad idea, and so is not having disloyal crewmembers with you in the suicide mission.

[LadyMarisa]

I think Synthesis was the Reapers Help Me moment (from the original Fly). All life in a blender, it was the only way they were getting those nations out of their squid shells.

Doesn't make me want to choose it any more than I already did but it was amusing in my head.

[VivaLaWhatsername]
