It's the Citadel, it makes you forget.


Ah yes, "Geth Concensus". We have dismissed these claims.
But seriously I forgot completely about that part of the game until the second time I played it... ^_^

Edit: Nerfed the pyramid.


But you did remember that last fight in London, right? The one for the Thannix missles? No one forgets that piece of hell...

What is interesting is that when you fire the missiles the Reaper immediately shoots and it looks like it would have killed Shep as it's start is exactly where Shep was running.

Ok, shot in the dark time. Because I have nothing better to do.

London MP map. Area with the televisions showing static. To the right of them is an advertisement in an alien language. Does anyone with access to the alphanumeric font used in Mass Effect 3's asari-speak know what that sign says, and why on Earth is something like that in London?

Okay, it's:

ABCDEFGH

How exciting was that!?!?!?

C'mon Mike... you can't make us right about everything can you? :lol:
Seriously though, sounds like the whole crucible = trap thing is on the money...

It takes me back to my first post ever on this forum and pointing out that ME3 was going to blatantly rip off the matrix reloaded :lol:

Dammit. Just spent the last few days collecting screenshots while replaying ME2 to use for my profile pic, and I just realized I can't use them without a bunch of over-complicated BS.

I just want to have pic of my Shepard :(

Super exciting :D
Seriously, the only ad in the whole game what has the font on it is Armali and it has a typo (Asmali)

Banshees dont even compare to Praetorians. Banshees are just more mobile Scions.

Naaah Scions were pretty much two hit deaths while Banshees are just annoying.

Jason new areas, or area on the Citadel and weapons packs, and that's it.

So, nothing IT related?


Chris reiterated the 'no new endings' thing we've known for months, and somehow it was a shocking development to a lot of people, but not really anything else.

LOL. It made no sense right? Anyway, if anyone has a full London playthrough I could use I would be very grateful to use it. Megumi maybe? She had some ME1 stuff. Anyway, as I don't currently have a capture card for my 360 (WTF Banshee?) I need a London playthrough to run a little experiment. Nothing major. Thanks.

I could do that, though you would have to wait two days as I'm not at my PC in the mean time and my Laptop couldn't handle it.

Hey you guys know the head-bob mechanic during Priority:Earth?

Yea um, it's not there when I play as my Renegade Shep. That's weird since I saw it there with my Paragon Shep.

It's not there with my Neutrual Shep either. It may have been there with my Paragon and Renegade Shep but that was back before I knew the bob existed.


Any thoughts on why our Reputation score has that effect?

You sure you just didn't load a savegame? You have to transition from after the FOB to the second London part, it goes away if you load a game (I guess the triggers doesn't apply)

Firebase Hive, the last Collector ship, is the only rumoured DLC that hasn't both proven compeletely true/revealed yet. It'd be nice to have Barriers to fight in MP other than Phantoms and Banshees, both of which are very tough Posted Image Also, it would add a Biotic faction, which is the one we're lacking. Reapers = Combat / Geth = Tech / Collectors = Biotic / Cerberus = All three Posted Image

Though it's strange that Illium is an Asari world but has a completely different architecture.

What a weird thing to tweet.  Very cryptic too.

Oh, and the Crucible is blatantly a trap.  There's no logical way it could exist as expositioned.

So he's saying that defeating the Reapers wasn't worth it?

*twists his words*

But yeah. They do keep flipflopping between whether or not the endings actually end well or not.

It's refreshing to come back and find only 1 more page to catch up on.

As for the tweet, the only odd part is the "they're nothing but trouble". They're kind of minor and feel a lot like a dues ex machina, but hey. Maybe we'll revisit Mars in Leviathan. It was made a big deal pre-launch. There's not much on Mars besides the arhcives...

Well, nothing in ME3 seem to take note of these dialogue changes, there's a lot of people still left wondering what happened with Sidonis if he wasn't killed, for example. I'm not sure if choosing paragon or renegade routes should ultimately do much, honestly, not enough to drastically alter a character anyway.

As for the C-Sec versus Spectre branching point, the latest Homeworlds comic seems to canonise that choice with scenes showing him back at C-Sec post-ME1.

I'm ok with all this, it has always bothered me that players have tried to "alter" Garrus' personality and I don't think that's the sort of relationship that exists between him and Shepard. They are equals in almost every way and if people can't accept his renegade tendencies then they have missed the point of his character all together.

It'd still be interesting if these minor dialogue choices have some sort of impact later but I wouldn't want one line of optional dialogue to determine the fate of a character. Maybe a shift in tone or perspective but nothing more than that.


The Shepard/Garrus relationship always struck me as Mentor/Student. So it's not so much Shepard's exact words to him on the SR-1 years ago having an impact as it is what kind of person Shepard is having an impact on Garrus' outlook on life. But it's very difficult to analyze all of Shepard's choices and make clear cut lines based on things. They strived for morally gray lines so that you couldn't do that. That's one of the great things about the series. So the simplest method would be to have Shepard's dialogue with Garrus be the influence.

Basically, can you imagine a Garrus who was buddy-buddy with a diehard paragon Shepard ending up with the same outlook or mentality as a Garrus who spent those years bromancing a hardcore renegade Shepard? Because I definitely can't.

What is the head bob mechanic?


It's to warn us that this part of the game sucks.

... I wonder if that one was too subtle...

JasonSic wrote...

You know how in a lot of shooters, when you use the scope on a sniper, it isn't steady? It "bobs" around making it harder to shoot. That effect in never in ME3, until the Earth mission, but only if you are paragon.


ME1 had that mechanic. **** that mechanic.
