Before extended cut: I had a 5000 strength and 100 percent gallatic readiness and still didn't get that final scene with Sheppard.

Haven't tried the extended cut. Don't really want to go the multiplayer again to make it high enough.

Really liked all of the endings. I think refusal was awesome even though of what happened at the end of it. Sheppard giving a big fuck you to all the bullshit. I think people will choose that one and be a little bit disappointed , but they did ask for other endings.

I guess synthesis is still the best ending? Sort of blows holes in the Sheppard is indoctrinated idea.

It was already swiss cheese.

Next DLC called "Earth" set for a July 17 release on the Xbox 360 with the PC and PS3 getting it at a later date. The DLC itself is free, contains 3 new maps, and 6 new classes.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-for-xbox-360/

The rumored "Leviathan" DLC pack accidentally was confirmed by one of the voice actors during an interview he had with Eurogamer. This is the same rumored DLC that was initially discovered to be a possibility due to some extra data files from the Extended Cut DLC pack.
SPOILER: show

Quote:

The add-on, set before Mass Effect 3′s ending, will centre on a traitorous Reaper named Leviathan.

Leviathan has been separated from the rest of the Reaper forces after killing one of its own kind.

Shepard meets Skordi’s character after being sent to rescue scientist Ann Brynson. She’s being held at the Reaper-indoctrinated mining facility that Leviathan controls.

I officially enjoy the refusal ending.

The Rogerer 07-12-2012 09:26 AM

I wasn't even offered synthesis when I first played. I feel fairly unmotivated to play ME3 again so I think that means that it officially never happened, since I am the master of reality.

Swiss Ultimate 07-12-2012 09:31 AM

That's actually a good point. Also, if you stopped playing and broke the game I think that would count as destroying the universe.

Emperor Smeat 08-08-2012 05:18 PM

Endings might be getting tweaked again based on some rumors involving the Leviathan and future "Omega" DLC packs.

Its rumored to not be drastic changes but offers a bit more in dialogue and stuff in regards to the overall ending.

Apparently the fan base is furious again this time after Bioware released a joke photo showing a My Little Pony character in Shepard's suit.

It got soo bad that a certain portion of the fan base is protesting the series or claiming they are selling their Mass Effect 3 game as a result even though the joke has nothing to do with the game.

Bioware on their part ignored the people who were complaining and unliking their page stating they can't dictate everything the company does or attack the comm8unity the moment something they don't like is done for others.

So no news on the extra scene of Shepard and Tali on Rannoch happily ever after yet?

DAMN!

Couldn't agree more. Too many butthurt whiners taking shit way too seriously and blowing things way out of proportion. It's a fucking game meant for your entertainment. If you're not entertained, then don't buy their shit anymore.

Kane Knight 08-29-2012 05:51 PM

So with Gamestop (and therefore, I'm presuming other retailers) dropping the price on this to 20 bucks, is it worth it for just the multiplayer?

I don't really give a shit about the story anymore. I didn't make it through 2 and probably never will. But the multi looked fun.

Also, since I am posting here....

The multiplayer is pretty fun, especially if you have some buddies with you.

ClockShot 08-29-2012 07:14 PM

Agreed. Multiplayer is fun. Got better with the maps and new weapons.

And as Verbose said, even much better with buddies, cause communication is key.

The only drawback is that you may need some microsoft points handy, in case you want that gear box that's out of your reach.

Ermaximus 08-29-2012 07:30 PM

Gear isn't an issue for me. I can't seem to unlock any of the damned N7 characters other than the Demolisher.

Emperor Smeat 09-06-2012 05:31 PM

Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack

Just played Leviathan. I enjoyed it, and it was worth the points.

It's got some length to it which was cool. Wasn't like an hour long mission on a single planet. There's also some more exploring and war assets to pick up. But...

SPOILER: show
You are on a ferry between the citadel and the mission planets. Get info from Citadel, go to planet, go back to citadel for more info. Kinda got lame after 2nd run.

alvarado52 09-17-2012 03:28 AM

Realized something today while texting a friend about Leviathan

SPOILER: show
So the Leviathans state that they created the first Reaper, the first being Harbinger, and that Harbinger created the others from the harvast, but the Catalyst kid states that HE/IT created the Reapers to bring order to chaos.

So i was kind of irritated that the DLC contradicts the ending, but then i realized that if you choose the refusal ending, the Catalyst says 'so be it' in what kind of seems like Harbingers voice...

....so basically, the Catalyst is Harbinger? Which sorta feeds into the indoctrination theory with the main points of it being the destroy choice is shown as renegade to degree (red color, Anderson being the bad guy) and Control being Paragon (blue color, Illusive Man) from what you would think the Reapers perspective would be on the choices, as well as the reaction of control (smile) and destroy (quickly disappears) from the Catalyst.



Thoughts?

Omega DLC in the Fall and a new Mass Effect game. Huzzah!

Emperor Smeat 10-05-2012 05:50 PM

According to EA and Bioware, the Retaliation DLC pack which arrives for free next week will be the largest multiplayer pack for the game so far.

Quote:

* New “Hazard” Versions of Existing Maps – Wage war across six maps as a regular rotation of Firebases will be introduced to different hazards and traps. Survive the onslaught of Acid, Lightening, Meltdowns, Sandstorms, Swarms and Whiteouts!
* New Deadly Enemy Faction – Prepare to face off against the Collector Praetorian, Scion, Abomination, Trooper, and Captain. Reports have also come in that Cerberus has enlisted the Dragoon to their ranks and the Geth are deploying new Drones to the battlefield.
* New Unlockable Weapons – The Collectors have also brought deadly new weapons to the fight: the Collector Assault Rifle, Sub-Machine Gun, and Sniper Rifle. Unlock these weapons and new equipment upgrades to build to your arsenal.
* New Class Kits to Unlock – A host of new characters have joined the war to fight this new threat, including the Turian Havoc Soldier and Turian Ghost Infiltrator. Additional class kits will be added as the weeks progress.
* New Powerful Upgrades – Outfit your weapons with three new ammo modifications and fortify your gear with five unique upgrades to defeat even the toughest foes.
* New Multiplayer Challenge Feature – Think you are the best soldier in the Alliance? Make sure to track your progress in the new “Challenges” database.

Multiplayer really is pretty fun, but I wish that the controls were better. Sorta plays like a second rate GoW.

Overall or your final ground assault troop count?

ClockShot 10-20-2012 08:57 PM

Overall. Just visit the war room before you go to cerberus.

Remember, 50% is single player choices, exploration, etc. The other 50% is multiplayer.

ClockShot 11-27-2012 05:33 PM

Omega got released at 1200 points today. Normally I'd jump on this, but since I'm tied up with A.C. 3, Hitman: Absolution after that, and Far Cry 3 coming out next week, I'm gonna put this off for the forseeable future.

Anybody who gets this, lemme know if it's worth it down the road.

Frank Drebin 11-27-2012 07:09 PM

Prolly halfway through. Its pretty cool for now, no major decisions yet. Lair of the Shadow Broker is still the best of the DLCs by far.

Frank Drebin 11-27-2012 09:43 PM

Done. Its good. Not great. Longer than Leviathan, no major decisions, fun to play, nothing added to the Mass Effect mithos that I can tell. More ME is fun but nothing earth shattering here.....wait for a markdown.

ClockShot 02-21-2013 06:27 PM

Details of the last piece of DLC for Mass Effect 3 "Citadel" got released today. It's a big piece of dlc, that it surpasses Microsoft's limit of 2GB max of dlc, and it's gotta get downloaded in 2 parts.

Here's a bit of info from one of Bioware's community forum managers.

Quote:

“When a sinister conspiracy targets Commander Shepard, you and your team must uncover the truth, through battles and intrigue that range from the glamour of the Citadel’s Wards to the top-secret Council Archives. Uncover the truth and fight alongside your squad – as well as the cast from the original Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.

“When the adventure is over, reconnect with your favourite characters from the Mass Effect Trilogy, try your luck at the Citadel’s Silver Coast Casino, blow off steam in the Armax Combat Arena, or explore and furnish Shepard’s own living quarters on the Citadel.

“With unique content and cinematics featuring your friends and romance interests in the Mass Effect trilogy, Mass Effect 3: Citadel offers one final chance to see the characters you have known for years and rekindle romances.”
It hits the marketplace March 5th and will set you back 1200 MSP ($15).

And if you're still keep up with the multiplayer, the free DLC Reckoning drops on February 25th.

Frank Drebin 02-22-2013 04:17 PM

Yup, going to be a sucker and get it. Seems like a lot of bells and whistles and things that might add to the lore of ME (secret council archives). The citadel might be the shadow brokers ship from me2. Too invested in the series to not get this and give it one last go round despite the ending.

Ermaximus 02-22-2013 05:26 PM

Hoping to be able to convince 2 love interests into a threesome in this. :y:

Frank Drebin 02-24-2013 01:14 PM

Citadel is going to be almost 4GB. :eek:

ClockShot 03-04-2013 06:59 PM

Grabbed this over at xbox360achievements.org

It's a preview of tomorrow's release of Citadel.

The group photo is gonna be EPIC! I'm sure Shep will keep that in his cabin and view it at his final goodbye for the Reaper attack.. And who're those "new" people the woman's trying to warn him? They're just like Cerberus except they're all in black with no logo on it.. Hmm... Must be Shadow Broker's agents? Garrus and FemShep dancing, maleshep getting tattooed by Jack, it's GONNA BE ONE HELL OF AN ORGY.. And Miranda's NEW RED OUT FIT??!?! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY BANDWIDTH MICROSOFT POINTS!!!

ClockShot 03-04-2013 08:29 PM

The only thing I'd like to know is do I have to start this early?

Both my normal and insanity saves are at Cerberus HQ and
SPOILER: show
Thane and Mordin are gone.

Raven Reaper 03-04-2013 08:44 PM

One of the comments from the video said that mission on Citadel should be started BEFORE attacking Illusive Man's HQ and you only do it AFTER the Cerberus/Udina coup attempt on it.

So far, my savegame replays are currently AFTER the Udina/Ceberus takeover Citadel and I'm still doing Liara's investigation of the missing Asari Colony before the war on Thessia.. Should be interesting if I played this DLC before it happens..

Thane and Mordin dies yes, but you'll get to see KOLYAT, Thane's son based on that trailer... I hope Legion shows up in this DLC BEFORE he dies doing his mission to rewrite the geth with Tali via Reaper Code uploading stuff. :(

alvarado52 03-05-2013 03:33 PM

Mordin doesnt have to die...

You have been posting A LOT of spoilers lately. Like a bunch. Both in the video games forum and movies forum. Put them in spoiler tags from now on. If I have to do step in and put tags in your post more than twice, I'm just going to delete your posts. Use your head from now on. Thanks.

RoXer 03-05-2013 03:41 PM

I will pm that to you too
