Mass Effect 3

If you ask me:

Spoiler

I still pick destroy because I STILL believe (yes I know by now its confirmed for fake) in the Indoctrination theory, knowing Bioware they can't just ignore their fans (unless their evil overlords EA tell them to do so). People wanted more Liara, they gave the Lair of the Shadow Broker, they wanted to be pumped up for ME3, they gave them Arrival, maybe one day Bioware will listen to fans and make the Indoctrination theory come true, and just like Kites said, I just don't believe in concentrating on one thing throughout the series (IE destroy the Reapers) and than all of a sudden "whoops, guess what, looks like the bad guys visions were right the whole time! Be a hypocrite and choose those instead!"

 

So is this canonical then?

We knew even if unconfirmed before, that Shep was alive. Just needed Tully to confirm, thought he might not be able to hold back some details sas long as he did. Good we know though.

 

i hope so, because i liked the destroy ending the best and it seems like the one that made the most sense. it was the ONLY ending to have that extra two second scene, fully rendered no doubt. he/she will be back in one way or another. it'd be funny if bioware pulls a halo 4 (another game series that was supposed to be a trilogy).

 

Not sure on how I feel about this. I really hope they don't drag things on with this just to try to make money. I love the series and all, but I don't want this to become a cash cow and be drug out like some other series have been (AC, GoW, Halo, CoD). Kinda just want it to be resolved now.

 

I'd be happy to start a new character from scratch, maybe importing past saves or at list some decision choices before-hand. But there has to be some type of canonical ending for this trilogy, otherwise it'd be hell to write a new story.

Spoiler

I really didn't want Shep to die, I knew it though, I knew that my decisions were concluded at the end of ME3. I knew that, like life, when I am gone my decisions mean nothing. It's a very nihilistic thing to involve yourself with such a character for so long, just to die at the end... It reflects life quite well, and only how you are remembered matters.

 

When have I ever complained about the ending? My words have always been that it was fine, that it was better than the rest of the game infact.

That is nothing like this. Want to know why? This is about changing a product, where as those examples are of future projects. Besides, Bioware is getting disliked by more and more people for every game they release, so them listening to fans clearly does nothing. That's what you mean, right?

But why should anyone care about anything they make, now that they have shown they are fine with just saying "Oh no, that's not happened, here's what really happened!" It's a ****** thing to do.

We must have played different games then, because I only left cover against two enemies. Those big monster things that rush you, I forget what they're called. And you don't fight them very often. Heck, I just played inFamous 2, and that game has more strategy than ME3, despite it not pretending to be some sort of strategic game.

Mordin changed his viewpoint about the genophage. Despite him always thinking things through and looking from every angle, he changed his viewpoint about it. Hell, when I told him in my playthrough "The genophage is a bad thing, don't fix it" Mordin responded with "You're right, Shepard." That's not the Mordin from ME2. And a fair amount of other characters acted out of character as well, I just like to mention Mordin because he was the best.

 

Leviathin DLC confirmed:

Realer origins? Yes please! Hopefully they will still be the hulking destructoid gods I fear, and not some misunderstood alien race that expands like that, god no please!

Also, more Earth Multiplayer DLC confirmed:

Ah, sorry, I've looked back and lumped your responses in with tons of other people. My fault, you just said the game was horrible and not the ending. I suppose I found that statement to include the ending.

They are trying new things, that's not a bad thing, and everything they do can't be dictated by fans. It's not like Bioware is making the games you ask for specifically, but the games that they want with your help and input. That is more progressive.
And sure Bioware seems to be losing fans, even though critics have always praised them, but it doesn't mean they don't have any fans. The very fact there is massive 'fan' feedback shows that fans are concerned.
Fan feedback has resulted in DLC like Firewalker and Arrival in ME2 and the Extended Cut DLC in ME3. They are listening.

They expanded, never replaced, because poeple demanded an explanation.
We live in a Capitalist society, if there is demand it will be made.

There are tactics and stratergems in every game out there. Whether you prepare or use all the tools available, it's just how we play them. In Bioshock, I could play the whole game without using plasmids in combat. In inFamous, I could choose to never use the powers apart from the standard lghtning bolt attack. It's the very fact a game doesn't force you to use a feature that it has, which could mean

Mordin was always conflicted about his actions to create the genophage and retune it because the krogan were adaptig past it. He wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do. It was his logic vs his morals.
Shepherd, as the character, can alter Mordin's thoughts to what they want. It's not out of characterfor him to take advice from his commander or friend. Ultimately, we affect others and our advice makes a difference to them and things in general.

 

Just thought I would update this and mention a little tidbit of information that I stumbled upon. Apparently all of the DLC writers are coming up for the next DLC after Omega is released.

Also included in that just for name confirmation is Jay Watamaniuk, Mac Walters, and Brianne O'Grady. A total of 8 writers are working on the DLC.​

People who data-mined the files of Leviathan when it was released found the file names of both Omega and Citadel. So it is logical to conclude that the next DLC after Omega will probably have something to do with the Citadel.​

​

​

​

We will probably see an Omega DLC trailer soon too. Maybe next week?​

​

​

​

And also here Patrick may be talking about the next Mass Effect DLC after Omega since it would be really late to really fix a lot of bugs in the Omega DLC considering it comes out on the 27th. ​

​

​

 

Oh that's always a good sign to get all the writers back for a DLC and the quality they give.

I can't actually think what Citadel would be in terms of DLC concept apart from that it's set on the Citadel but what don't we really know about the Citadel at this point? Oh maybe we find more about the Keepers and the inner working of the Citadel's underbelly?
Hopefully good.

 

Halo 4 was such a pleasant surprise so if Bioware can make the series interesting again and continue their success im all for Commander Shep making a return!

plus, im super pumped about playing the Omega DLC!

 

​

mass effect omega DLC trailer was released today!​

 

Once this downloads I WILL play it at some point tomorrow! XD

Loving that trailer, finally female Turians. We need some flexibility to that reach! : P

 

...

 

...

 

Still wonder what could happen in this, personally i'd love to see some more exploration of the inner workings of the Citadel and the Keepers, learn a bit more what's under all those pristine presidiums thay have.

Still Krogan with a battle axe from the future, gonna be fun.

 

Spoiler: pls tell me u get this

Also, take a look under the casino sign in the first screenshot image (which looks pretty close to the concept art I might add), it looks like Wrex and Shepard/Kaiden/someone - but idk it could just be random soldiers. Regardless, I'm glad it includes all of our squaddies since I missed them the most.

Also, Mike Gamble tweeted "Two for the price of one", meaning that the top screenshot is probably DLC for SP while the bottom image is probably MP DLC.

 

Hmm that's probably true about single and multiplayer stuff.

Also that does look like Wrex and Shep a lot. Not sure what Wrex would be doing back on the Citadel, apart from maybe to recruit clan members or to find the fish on the presidium! XD

Still can't wait for more.

And no, I don't think I get it! XD

 

Has anyone else heard that rumour that the new Mass Effect will be a world building game where the main character is a journalist? I think that sounds really cool, honestly.

We never really found out what happened with the Citadel after the Reapers took it. There were people on board and such, so the way it was brushed over seems kind of weird.

 

FOR RELEASE ON MARCH 5th, 2013 ON XBOX 360, PC, and PS3 (MARCH 6th ON PS3 IN EUROPE)

First off the BioWare blog has revealed that the new Citadel DLC will be $15 (1200 MS points; 1200 BW points)

Mass Effect 3: Reckoning DLC (Multiplayer) FREE ON FEBRUARY 26TH, 2013. (FEB. 27TH FOR PS3 IN EUROPE).

 

I just love that this is a final farewell tot he last three games, you see all the squad mates that got you through it and go on a last mission before the end. So glad we are getting something like the Citadel DLC.
Citadel Secret archives.... hmmm, I have a number of ideas of what's in there. TONS OF FORNAX, OH YEAH!!!
Interesting, thank god the release date is soon.

Meanwhile the multiplayer content is continuing strong, which is great to see so much content for free, I don't think that's ever been done before for any other multiplayer released! Wish some of the guns in their were available in the Single player game though.
