So you attempt to troll me, then get mad when you are blugeoned with Truth? It's not my fault you are less educated than me, though it doesn't take much education to know that the Beatles are hippies, nor to have read Orwell at some point in your life.

Oh god, there we go again... First, I couldn't care less about you (much less trolling you) and second, I don't recall asking your inept opinion regarding my education. 

 

The krogan should be thankful for the genophage solving a problem they refused to tackle on their own, but instead they cry about it. They are such a weak species that in over 1400 years they cannot muster the intellectual and technological resources for a cure for their "disease" which a single salarian can cook up in a couple months, and if they don't get this "cure" (they don't in my playthroughs) they will naturally go extinct even though said "disease" merely modifies their absurd birthrate to a level where their population is stable (or would be, if they'd stop moping about and killing each other). Contrast this with the quarians, who implement our own one child policy and survive it just fine. Hell, contrast it with the 20th century Chinese, who obviously aren't going extinct because of it. If you want to talk stupid, you don't get more stupid than the krogan. If we ever manage to confirm that the vorcha are actually a sapient species, I might reconsider that last statement, but only just.

Also lol @ geth being more powerful or technologically advanced than us. If that's the case than why did they lose 4 entire star systems to us within 17 days of warfare (events of ME3), getting driven back to the Homeworld they stole from us to make their last stand, and having to go and hide behind momma Reaper's leg to survive our righteous wrath? The only reason that the quarian-geth story arc in ME3 isn't the victorious quarians returning entirely unscathed from the largest commercial recall in galactic history to help fight the Reapers is that the pathetic loser geth turned traitor against the other sapients of the galaxy yet again, and the Reapers tried to save them by giving them technology that enabled them parity with us. The only reason Sovereign used the geth in his attack was because they are so stupid that they could be hacked into thinking he was their god by introducing a mere rounding error in their runtimes. It didn't ask for our help because our organic brains aren't made of broken, potato programming like the geth, and such help would not have been forthcoming. Indoctrination takes much longer, and notice how there isn't a single indoctrinated quarian anywhere in the entire series? Precisely. It cannot be done to a species that is already the apex of evolution. Even Sovereign admitted that it was disgusted by the geth worship toward it (per Saren) and that it was just using them as the mere tools that they are and were designed to be.

In a way, the geth are similar to the krogan. Their only "strength" is the ability to manufacture countless bodies to throw into the grinder, not superior intelligence, adaptiblity, efficiency or cunning like a true Master Race. They had billions of bodies and trillions of programs on dozens of planets, yet a mere 17 million quarians with a few salvaged ships were able to laughably stomp them into oblivion despite a more than 1000-1 numerical disadvantage. They deserve the fate wrought when their ill gotten Reaper technology is removed from the equation. They are weaklings unfit for anything but their rightfully ordained purpose of servitude in menial and dangerous tasks, and in a civilized society, traitorous cowards, thieves and genocidal mass murderers are held accountable for their crimes anyway. We can always make more of them, perhaps ones that will do their jobs properly this time.

K.

 

Salarians did the right thing.

Mordin screaming "I made a mistake!" was one one the best lines in ME3.

 

Quarians are entirely innocent insofar as someone who dies in a car accident

90% of car accidents are due to driver's error.

 

I really am an IRL quarian supremacist posting from the future.

Cool.

 

Stay salty.

Nah.

Bringing us back on topic, I played a fair bit this weekend and noticed quite a few newbies on Gold.

 

Even ran into IA1212412441 (whatever the number is) and he is off his game.  Waited 20 whole seconds for him to leave.  Eventually, I got bored and bailed first.

More and more I'm seeing players with Eastern European or Oriental names, and other languages on the mic. ME3 seems to be going more international.

 

That's good, except for one thing. Also more and more I'm getting directly into ongoing games with hosts somewhere on the other side of the world. Horrible lag; warping around the map. Powers not locking on. Shots missing, Running into walls. Standing over teammates and unable to revive. 

 

Makes the game hard to play. I hope BW fixes this in ME4 MP.

Nobody plays, the forums are dead, the servers are being taken offline, go home, it's not worth it.

(The first seven times I wrote this it was kinda funny, now it's just sad)

 

Because it could be true? :o

Could it be true you're still playing, because that'd be something else(I hope you are).

Well I'm going to guess the servers aren't going to shutdown until ME:A comes out. People are still playing, but they seem to be either casuals attempting to do gold with little or no amps, or seasoned veterans equipping level 4 amps regardless of difficultly.

There aren't really any words to describe how weird it feels to say this, but I believe he is actually correct.

 

It's hardly scientific evidence, but the last time that I logged on to PSN a few months ago, my Friend List showed that about 90% of the people who played ME 3 hadn't logged in for over three months. In many cases, almost a year.

 

I have definitely had a strong impression that since the release of XBone/PS4, the 360's player base has been slower to migrate away from popular MP games than the PS3. Most of the people in my 360 FL don't play anymore, either, so the difference isn't huge, either way.

 

You know what? Forget I said anything. PS 3 has biggest player base. All the player base belong to us. All the rest of y'all are just jelly.

PC games tend to last longer than console games, mostly because older consoles get phased out and the new ones aren't always downwards compatible. There's also the modding scene and the ease of use. On PC you don't have to pay monthly fees to play online or any such nonsense.

 

I have never had any trouble finding a game on PC. U/U/G and go, 5sec later I'm in a lobby or a game in progress.

 

Given enough time, PC will be the last one standing... with the consoles being desolated ghost towns in comparison.

Confession: I didn't actually follow the conversation, and actually assumed (incorrectly) that the comparison was being made between 360 and PS3. I have absolutely no idea how the PC community compares to those two (but would assume it would be similar in size to Xbox, and likely to experience less attrition over time.)

Played a couple of matches the other day on xbox for the first time in over a year. Finding a match didn't take any longer than it did two years ago, although this was U/U/G. 

 

PUGs are better than I remember but I did get lectured on using a Salarian on gold. "They're too weak - we'l be picking you up all match." - They still have much to learn.

 

I was waiting to see when/if Mass Effect 3 would become backwards compatible on Xbox One, and then if the multiplayer would function or not. Growing impatient, I dug up my 360 and hooked it up instead.

Even when the Dark Souls 2 site with stats were still up. X-Box version was in the lead, PS3 not too far behind, and PC version dead last. Why I'm making sure to get the highest user base console before Dark Souls 3 release (aka, the PS4), because that series is so much better with more players.

 

X-Box also has way better & user friendly communication with other online players setup. VS Origin; total garbage. And PS3; ok.

These PUGs always seem to be the same.  They're just becoming slightly more familiar with the game (say, N7 rank of ~80), but they don't fully grasp how many of their assumptions are L2P-based and misguided.  I had some n00b astonished that I would bring a GE into a Gold match.  So my Indra GE w/ Inc ammo proceeded to lead the lobby, and I messaged back that the GE is actually pretty damn solid.

What has Dark Souls 2 to do with Mass Effect 3? Try to compare the game on console and on PC and you'll know why the player base on PC is small.

 

What's next? Are you going to use Batman: Arkham Knight as an example? :P

 

Yes, Origin is crap. So what? On PC you aren't limited to Origin, you can set up your own voice/chat server. Or mod the game/Origin. Or use Steam. Or one of the other alternatives. There are almost no limits.

^ Similar sales.

 

Communication between players and being able to keep track of other online players better = more interest in online playing. People also talk most on X-Box too. The land of free headsets for the poor & turtle beaches for Terminators.
