So disheartening... "The Final Hours," a documentary and document on the creation of ME3 is out for iPad (other platforms coming soon), and it pretty much confirms
-
Well, you have to admit, Eugimon, it is a wonderful setup for the next game in the franchise.
-
Ok, so I'll address your points one by one:
-
I now have to admit that the fan reaction and media coverage has turned me. I'm no longer satisfied with what they gave us.
-
A member of the Bioware staff has pointed fans to this thread on the official forums. Definitely starting to feel like something is up.
-
I can't confirm this, but I've read that Bioware will have more to say on the ending at the end of the month.
-
From the official Mass Effect twitter On the ending: "if the fans knew what was in store, the reaction would be different." On your save game: "We're keeping our saves, that's for sure."
-
I agree. One thing that puzzles me is why some people see during the Red ending, and some don't. I saw it when I played out all three endings on my Paragon male Shep (though only during the Red ending), but it seems many don't.
-
I'm cool with that. Again, it's not how I would have ended the Shepard trilogy, but I don't hate it. My biggest issue with it is the plot hole that involves the It's like there is a missing scene somewhere.
-
I have to say, the level of stupidity surrounding the discussion online over the ending is staggering. If you didn't get it, that's fine, we'll talk about it and explain it. If you didn't like it because you wanted/expected something different, that's fine, to each their own. But if you hate it and think it's stupid because you don't understand it, well, you're just an effing moron. Do I personally like the ending(s)? Yes. Do I have any issues with the ending(s)? Yes. Per my previous post, I think I prefer the "Red" ending over the "Blue" and the "Green," simply because of my time invested in this series. It doesn't really fit in with my Paragon Shepard, but it gives me the final scene I want. That said, Bioware is on the record as saying that Shepard's story is over, and any new games set in that universe will not involve him.

I beat the game last night using my Paragon Shepard that dates back to ME1 (I have a Renegade one as well that I have yet to play in ME3). I got to view all three of the "best" endings by getting my total military strength up around 7,200 (which is about as high as you can go), and my effective military strength over 5,000 (through multiplayer). That 5,000 effective stat is key; though, as I understand it 4,000 may work as well, it's just slightly less forgiving if you make some bad choices at the end. As far as I know, there is no other way to view the best endings (regardless of what Bioware says). Bioware may view the 2,800 ending as the best (it's listed as "Green" in the spoiler section bellow), but I am not sure I feel that way. Also, something I'd like to let everyone know up front: your choices in the first two games have little-to-no impact on the end of the game. You can come into ME3 having never played the earlier two and still get one of the three best endings. There are some 17 possible endings to ME3 (of which there are three "best"), though they only have three main variances: Imported saves from the previous game and New Game+ saves are treated to a secret post-credits scene that takes place sometime in the future. The "best" endings are: Minus a few missteps, I loved the hell out of ME3. I wish the ending gave more answers (i.e. backstory), but it was a hell of an adventure with some truly epic moments.

With "no" humans would be better. -
I played half the demo (well, I think it was half) which was essentially the opening sequence of the game. I didn't want to play the next portion because it seemed like it might be somewhat spoilerish (takes place on another world). It's Mass Effect, what else can you say? I'd ready for it!
-
I have the demo installed on my PC but haven't gotten to play it yet. I'm hoping I'll have some time tomorrow.
-
First trailer for the movie based on the book. It looks absurd, but the subject matter is enough to have me atleast pay some amount of attention.
-
Can I put up the old animated version of mine? BTW, LOVE the banner. I'd vote for keeping it up permanently.

Forum's New Cosmetic Changes

Lookin' good! -
I've sadly not seen many Pubs outside of WZ's. I have 9 world kills to 2 deaths--much less than I expected to have at 50. As it stands now, Ilum is a place where the two factions get together to trade objectives for easy daily and weekly mission completions; even then, I generally only see a couple of Pubs in the zone. Thankfully our population isn't too skewed, and I only get Huttball as a WZ about half the time. I loved my class story as a Sith Warrior; simply excellent writing and voice acting, with only only one real misstep along the way. I've done every mission available to me--without space-baring though cut scenes--with the exception of two Heroic 4's on Hoth and one Heroic 4 on Corellia. The only planet I really loathed was Imperial Taris, and Imperial Balmorra went on a tad too long for my tastes. I've done my share of space missions and have a fairly well geared-out ship (Grade 5 and Purple upgrades). I've done every FP up to level 40 (The Foundry was the last I did) and spend some time every day in the WZ's. Right now I'm just waiting for some more folks in my guild to catch up so we can start running hard-mode FP's (and hopefully finish out those Heroics I need). We currently have three 50's and three more members in the 40's.

I used to play EVE Online; I'm not sure you can find a more hardcore sci-fi MMO.
-
Very much so. They won't lose any players over it, but it will "color" their opinion of the game.
-
Time frame seems to be a few months. Also, they are going to expand space combat.
-
The Blasters have been placed on the Davik's Estate server. That's US PvP East.

Everybody did.

Well, they're taking the extinction of their race pretty well, I'd say.
