Actually i think Edi mentions in the game that she has fully integrated the reaper IFF into the Normandy's systems, so its still there and they're using it ,
You know iv'e been playing The Walking Dead and Mass Effect is starting to feel like that, Waiting for each new DLC episode to come out, was this Biowares plan all along


If so, about the IFF, it would be one reason they could augment the info with other things such as ship's profiles, things specific to reapers (the indoctrination signal-hmm, might that not also be one way to deflect any Leviathan threat), as well as anything learned from dead husks and the Sovereign fragment.  

This is what has been kind of insinuated in the past (relevant) about the Walking Dead which is being sold in episodes.  And other games have also been released with optional endings that came later.  This is a trend of sorts.  Consider that once one game company saw the benefit for them of having an code needed for online play, every other dev jumped on the band wagon.

I wonder where IGN is on that "dangerous precedent".

couldn't they just get another IFF from a dead Reaper, and I'm sure TIM has a couple of them too

TIM's clearly able to duplicate the IFF even wihtout scavenging another one.  He's able to get stuff fro mteh COllectore Base without the Normandy, after all.

Oh yes.  I don't see there being a problem getting the IFF.  I think some people just worry that it would target the Normandy as well as reapers.  The way I see it it could also target some cerberus vessels with IFFs.  They could get an IFF from other reapers they've killed as well.

I honestly can't even play an ME games SP mode knowing it's all not going to mean anything in the end.

Unfortunately that's what all too many people feel and this is for a series of games many feel are the best they've played-games they always hoped to play.

I remember how I advised ME series to my friends, who were looking for a decent sci-fi game with good old victory ending. "Hey, try it! This game cannot end badly, there is a guaranteed happy ending, if you do everything right". Aha... yeah :D

I think no need to mention, that now I'm ashamed to look them in the eye.

Yup.  And since I don't even like MP, I ended up uninstalling the whole series.  :(

This is hilarious! I mean, it's terrible and sad, but you have to appreciate the irony.


Just a fun note for this thread, so people don't think we all are nothing but "haters".

All the good things that ME3 brought to me:
1. Fantastic excuses. "Artistic integrity" and" Space magic" are now my most often used excuses. My boss doesn't appreciate them much when I tell him that my work cannot be done to his/ client's expectations, but, hey, he just can't tell art from cr*p. Thanks to ME3, I can.

2. Great moments - now, this one is serious one. Despite all the mess, seeing Grunt alive and seeing Mordin dead got me. This game still had strong moments that we cannot deny. I just wish there were more of them.

3. Appreciation of previous games - I mean, I thought I had reasons to complain about MAKO back then...  Ha! now even smallest thing like Journal system looks fantastic back in ME1 and ME2. So yes, I've learnt to appreciate smaller things more.

4. Music - Awesome. Although I still have my favorites in ME2, ME3 music themes are well-thought and emotional. Same goes for voice actors, I think they did great job.

5. Replayability... of my other games. You know what I am talking about...

And I suppose you have facts and figures, you know hard statistics and not wishful thinking to assert some idea of how many do?  It's hard to take you seriously I am sorry because all I can see is Joker and Liara, Tali, and Garrus being used as crash test dummies testing out the mass relays because you were sure that would happen.  I also envision everyone's LI having deep and meaningful late night conversations with their Shepard as a reaper.

Garrus to Shreaper:  "Night, Shepard.  I love you." 
Shreaper:  "Night, Garrus.  I love you too." 
Garrus: "Shep, would you mind moving that tentacle, leg thing or whatever it is.  You do like to take over the bed.  And no more trying to turn me into goo while I'm sleeping."
Shreaper:  "Ha, you try taking care of the Many on an empty stomach."
Garrus:  "And while we're at it you sound terrible.  You must be coming down with something.  Might wanna see Dr. Chakwas about that hoarse throat."
Shreaper:  "That's just how I talk now Garrus.  And, sorry but I got hungry and I ate..."
Garrus:  "You ate Dr. Chakwas!  I told you there was a family of Batarians I was gonna bring over for dinner tomorrow, but you couldn't wait could you?"
Shreaper: "Sorry, old habits die hard."
Garrus: "What do you mean old habits.  You just became reaper god 2 days ago.  Wait a minute.  Do you mean..."
Shreaper:  "That's right.  I'm not alone in here."
Glow Boy: "Hey Garrus.  Shreaper told me all about you.  How's it hangin'?  Looking forward to getting to know you better if you know what I mean.  Kind want to see what you're like on the inside.  How about you join us all for breakfast, hmmm?"
Garrus:  "What do you mean join you all?  Exactly how many of you are present inside this Shreaper unit?"
Glow Boy/Shreaper/the real Many: "There are approximately 5.2 billion individual intelligences within this mobile unit." Shreaper:  "And I use the term intelligence loosely.  Some of those in here have the intelligence of a pea.  Right, Glow Boy?"
Glow Boy: "Huh?  Oh yeah, right.  Good thing you're in charge Shreap, heh heh heh.  Wouldn't want to have the idiots running the place now would we?"
Garrus:  "Do you uh, guys mind sleeping on the couch?  Suddenly it feels a little crowded here, ya know?  I think a bit of the romance here has worn off."
Shreaper/Glow Boy:  "Sure, Garr.  No skin off our er teeth.  We actually only were trying to approximate emotional responses to you based on the consensus of at least 51.3% of all individual intelligences that reside within our goo pools.  These participants thought it best to keep on good terms with you.  Oh and your sister says 'hey'."
Garrus:  "My sister, oh no.  You mean she's in there with all that goo."
Shreaper/Glow Boy: "Yeah.  Her preservation was especially memorable because she had some real stories to tell about when you were young.  She's a real hoot."
Garrus: "Ok, I think the couch isn't going to work.  You guys might like to find another galaxy to haunt and fast.  I'm feeling like doing a little reaping myself if you know what I mean."
Shreaper:  "Don't think so, lover boy.  You know, there's a whole lotta calibrating that needs doing and I think your sister would like to say 'hi' in person.  Put down the Cain."

I admire your dedication to the series, I loved it as well and was just as devastated at how abysmal the ending turned out to be. But I just gave up fighting a long time ago, and have accepted that Mass Effect 3 was a huge flop and that the series will never be the same. All of my emotional investment in it was wasted, because incredibly poor writing killed the franchise at the last hurdle.

It's a shame that so many peoples emotional investment and the amazing work of so many talented individuals and writers had to be ruined because of the awful decisions a few made with regards to Mass Effect 3's ending, but I have just come to accept that it has happened.

I have not touched a Mass Effect game since I saw the ending, nor will I ever. Even the first two games are unplayable for me knowing how 3 ends. I have not even looked at the new single player DLC, or read the lore of the story on the wiki, because I just can't bring myself to care about the franchise any more.

...........Nope. Played the Leviathan DLC, still hasn't gotten me racing to complete another playthrough.

Actually deleted a few save games to see if that would have the desired effect. Still nothing.

The magic of ME1 and 2 just isn't present and correct in 3.

Now I respect that not everyone feels this way and ME3 is the best thing to come out of BW since The Throne of Bhaal......... but BW have this little thing that is unquantifiable.... Bottled magic! It's the attention to detail. The little bits that go in for the sake of whimsy. Maybe even another Conrad Verner that is as inept but lovable.

And that's the thing about ME3. I like it, I enjoyed it. But compared to the other ME games the love just isn't there to grab hold of for another ride.

It's not that I'm tired of the ME universe and want something new. The story that began in ME1 had me gripped. And ME2 just whetted the appitite. But ME3......... I don't really feel like I fought the Reapers. Rannoch and Tchunka are the exception. And it felt goooooood! But give us a baddy and the law of action story telling is that they have to die....... or get locked up in Arkham Asylum.

Still thinking that one of the only ways I'll come back to ME is to get a one on one with Harby from the inside. Cause If Shepard has to die then taking the lead baddy with him is a sacrifice. The deus ex........... and I mean the first game deus ex ending is been there done that territory and ME's story was such a powerful one that it could have done so much better.

SWTOR is apparently going F2P. You can do so now up to lvl 15 and it's kinda fun to see how BW have taken their RPG template and made it a social experience instead of a single one. Anyway. I'm trying to get into the Witcher 2. At least Gerallt will never dive into energy beams, toast himself on a live open circuit or shoot the propane tanks on something that resembles a Godchilds indoor barbeque.

Not that it matters. Shepard ends up extra crispy regardless.

I played SWTOR and didn't like it. I wrote a long post on one of the DA2 forums a few days ago about why I consider it a failure.

It basically boiled down to other online games like Guild Wars 2 being "Heres our online game, how can we add a good story element to make our game better?" and SWTOR being "Heres our Bioware story-driven game template, how can we shoehorn this into an MMO format to get more money?"

I know there are also other ways they have gimped it for F2P-I can't remember all the ways but I think you can't get all the weapons. 

Funny thing is, I'd play ME all the way through with just a sling shot for a weapon or a stick if it had a true possible win ending.  I don't care what pistol I'm shooting or what AR or sniper rifle.  Those are additions that make what is fun, more fun.  But you have to make it fun first.

I've said it repeatedly here that I've played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.  No real in game story to speak of (there is a story, but it adds interesting stuff to the games and not necessary to play them).  There's something like 800, I think, versions of weapons and shields in the game and all kinds of armor and armor sets and then magic, miracles, and so on.  They wouldn't mean a thing if the games were not fun to play.  And they are incredibly difficult to finish and win games.  Dying is not just a possibility but inevitable and you find ways to avoid it.  But, the customization is integral to the game, because the story is not the thing, not essential.  It's all about fighting and winning and making your own story about fighting and winning.

I like that, but that's not ME.  Sure, you customize things (I actually liked customizing in ME1 better) and I liked the weapons (heavy weapons) in ME2 better.  But, I could go with one type of each weapon and not even know their names and I'd be happy if there was a way to really win and to bring Shepard out alive.  I'd happily buy customization packs (more than just sunglasses) for weapons and so on.  Now, there's a weapon pack you can get.  Why?  Just so you can shoot in the run and gun moments and still not fight at the end and then not feel like you won anything?

I loved KOTOR, Thats what the original Mass Effect felt like

If I could talk to BW about their DA3 development I would say bring it back to the design of DA1. Lose the conversation wheel, bring back the dialogue tree, mute the hero. Just make it more reminisant of table top RPG given form in video games. DA1 had it's own identity to the point I wouldn't think it had anything to do with BW unless I looked at the label on the box.

Making all their games to the same template......... well the template might work well, but sometimes just because it works well doesn't mean you should make every product to the same specification.

DA3 needs to silently scream out. 'I'm not like Mass Effect in the slightest'.

Making all their games to the same template......... well the template might work well, but sometimes just because it works well doesn't mean you should make every product to the same specification.

DA3 needs to silently scream out. 'I'm not like Mass Effect in the slightest'.


about DA3, I heard from a friend on here its gonna be a prequeal with a MP that I'm assuming is gonna be tacked on

Would SWTOR be good if it was released as a single player game ?
I loved KOTOR, Thats what the original Mass Effect felt like


Possibly. In fact, maybe definitely.

the zones may be a bit to big. But the chance to play a story of being a jedi fighting for the republic......... or a smuggler fencing goods while freeing slaves....... or a sith out to destroy the republic.

SWTOR has a play as any class, on any side, then adds the ability to play the character along Good, neutral, Bad. That system seems to have been pulled directly out of DA1..... minus the chance to play as a darkspawn, unless you got DA:O.

Alas, I was rather enjoying chasing down my ship while tossing nonchalent quips at my pushy questgivers.
