Mass Effect

Any Mass Effect fans up in here?

I need somebody to geek out for ME3 with.

I would love to, but I've been on a media black out since forever. I only know tidbits. I do have the N7 Collector's Edition on Pre-order though.

I've long since considered starting a ME RP on this forum, but I don't think anyone else likes the games. I however, have 29 playthroughs of ME1, and 17 of ME2. And I've read all the books (save for the latest one) and read all of the comics. And I have the first Art Book, and I'm getting the second with ME3... And I have a miniature Normandy SR-2.

Lol there's a fan xD

Ya, I was hoping I could determine doing an ME RP would be good, but we might be the only fans lol. Then again, we could just set up a space epic with ties to Mass Effect.

I haven't read all the extra books and stuff, but I've played through the games and love them. ME3 is simply going to be epic. They've put more focus on FemShep, her own separate animations and lines and such. I might actually playthrough as her first.

As I've stated before:

I've barely played anything other than FF & KH, & I can barely keep up with those.

FemShep is my main, and not only because of my own habits this time! Jenifer Hale's voice acting FAR outshines Mark Meer's. And yes, as someone who has played many, many runs as FemShep, I love that they're finally giving her her dues.

Script, I need your ME fandom help. I'm looking at pre-ordering the game...yes, I'm terribly late as I'm learning. Gamestop and Amazon are sold out of the Collectors Edition. Best Buy still has it, but their pre-order bonus is only the Magus Rifle or whatever that Gamestop has. If I pre-order the normal edition, I get the rifle, another one, a shotgun, and the N7 Warfare armor. But the CE has the N7 brand gun set, alternate appearance pack, and the secret character/missions. So I'm thinking Best Buy's CE is still better than normal Gamestop pre-order, but wanted to get your thoughts. In fact, now that I've actually wrote it out, its seems best buy CE is far better lol.

But maybe you know something about the N7 Warefare armor that makes it worth downgrading for?

Nope, I got the N7 edition on lock AGES ago. It comes with more valuable shit, including, (unless I'm wrong here), an extra mission and party member. Not to mention the 70pg hard cover art book, the lithograph, and the tin case with my lovely femshep.

Lol ya I knew all the usual side stuff like the art book and audio cd. Which I still get at Best Buy, just didn't know if that N7 Armor was gonna be so badass that it trumped it all. It usually isn't, I never used the Terminus or Cerberus armor in ME2.

Script, you been playing the co-op on the demo?

Was, then my PS3 broke (again), and that is what I use for online gaming. I was thinking about getting it the demo for my 360, but with my college getting that online is loads harder than getting the PS3 online.

Yet another reason to not get one.

Mine is six years old and has been played, quite literally, almost every day for no less than 4-8 hours, usually more. It died but not because it was shitty, but because I ran it into the ground with excessive play. I'm guessing it broke again because my first attempt to fix it was shoddy (as something usually is when you have left over screws when you put it back together).

The new, slim ones are supposedly better, but I still say mine did fucking well for the things I put it through.

On an unrelated note, I think it would be funny if I started bitching about the Bleach Wiki on these two-person topics every time they popped up.

I also think it would be funny to pull all of my characters from this forum just to see what would happen, but then I don't.

Interesting...thought you might like this, Script. Surprise at the end of it.

About the FemShep cover? I already knew, lol. I'm glad they give me free Gold, but that means I'll have to literally pick a weekend beforehand, and concentrate solely on finishing up the co op.

Lol yeah, I didn't know, thought it was pretty sweet. I just knew you said you were on a media blackout and that video was released today. I like the free gold, I think mine just expired so I can get two free before I suscribe again.

It is more concerning things about the story. I follow game news in general pretty closely, so it is hard to avoid headlines like, "Mass Effect to come with interchangeable box art for FemShep!"

I miss the humor in the game, its much fewer and far between in this dark conclusion. Did find a couple I enjoyed.

Javik: "The reptiles evovled?"
Liara: "Actually, they are anphibians."
Javik: "...They used to eat flies."

Shepard: "Does all this new feedback distract you from your duties?"
EDI: "Don't worry, I only forget to recycle the Normandy's oxygen supply when something really exciting happens."
Shepard: ":0 ............."
EDI: "That was a joke."

Javik looks awesome. Just saying.

Hell ya he does. I got so excited when I found out the secret character was a Prothean. Reading in the artbook that his armor was designed to be futuristic and advanced but have an ancient feel for it, so they went with a samurai theme. And he's a badass, I think he may have just surpassed Garrus as my favorite companion.

Maybe it was EDI having a sense of humor or Shepards face, but when she made her joke I rolled off my couch laughing so hard. And then the awkward silence of my Shepard waiting for me to pick another option made it perfect.

xD

I hope there is a way to reset that Galaxy at War information, or that it resets for each character. I'm trying to max it out for my first and main playthrough, but for my more Renegade characters or just to see what happens, I wanna keep it as low as possible and let the Reapers win XD

Supposedly there's no happy ending from what I've heard.

I don't care how many die and who. As long as I can say I beat the Reapers, I will be happy. If they win no matter what... then I will get over it and try another playthrough that I can bomb so it will be my fault we all die. muhahahahha!
