It's called survival of the fittest. If you can't slam with the best, jam with the rest.
I pre-ordered the CE from buy.com but they apparently have it "on back order". I was under the impression that the CE would be in limited supply and not restockable once it's sold out. Does anyone know if CE will continue to available? My order seems questionable so I'm considering canceling it and just getting the standard digital.

I hear a lot of stores are getting some more because of the situation with Game.

We got some serious shit to discuss.

It's making the rounds on Twitter that we first meet Emily Wong as she's doing a story on dangerous air traffic control situations, and then dies in a dangerous air traffic situation.

Nice.

Her only experience with death is people slamming into the Citadel, so it's not surpising she thinks that humans die 'at ramming speed'.

Ugh. Dammit.

There's a map hole in the normandy cockpit, a small recess to the right of joker. Just got stuck and save/reload didn't help, gonna have to load the autosave.

Edit: haven't been able to reproduce the issue--probably related to where I was standing when I initiated conversation with Joker.

If you have a cloud save, transfer it back to your console.

I don't know if this has been posted yet but you can get a free in-game weapon at alienware arena. You just need an account.

M90 Indra Sniper Rifle

quote:

The Indra's low-powered scope leaves it most effective at medium range, but many soldiers believe this limitation is offset by the gun's rapid rate of fire. The Indra is the first military-grade, fully automatic sniper rifle. It has an extremely efficient heat-sink system that allows a surprisingly large number of shots to be fired before the weapon ejects its thermal clip.

Is the weapon you get.

Edit: PC-Bros only. Thanks for Milky Moor for reminding me.

I'm just on the second mission, and I'm surprised at how much talking everyone's doing out of cutscenes. Actually having to stop and listen so I don't miss anything important. Plus the dialogue is pretty good, already got some funny banter.

Don't even know when I'll get around to playing some MP. Wanna eat up the story all day long.

Just a heads up, the 360 metatag EDIpous Wrex has been full for awhile now, but I believe someone else created a second one cleverly titles EDIpous Wreav, so you might want to add that to the OP as well. I don't think too many of us will be jumping right into MP anyway, but it'd be nice information for folks to have.

Has anyone that bought the regular edition been able to download the DLC? For me it is alternating between being unavailable to buy and giving me an error when I try to buy it.

Wow, it seems the importer can't find my face code, meaning I have to start a new Shepard from scratch. I can't remember what I did in 2007! This is a huge bummer.

I have the CE and despite having installed it, it just tells me it's corrupted when starting the game. Even a repair doesn't fix it.

Did somebody call about a Ravager problem?
Mars Mission. Stuck in place after the tram activation. Reproduceable in that it happens every time I get to that point, without fail.

And there is absolutely zero information about it currently anywhere that I can find on the internet.

An Emperor's slightest dislike is transmitted to those who serve him, and there it is amplified into rage.
Forgot about this game entirely till a friend asked why I was not at gamestop. Said gently caress it and bought it from Amazon, downloaded it from amazon and now I am having to download it again from orgin. WTF was that 10 gig download for in the first place then.

Is an imported character supposed to start out with 59 skill points? I wasn't expecting to be able to max almost every skill at the very beginning. Apologies if it's been asked already.

^^^^You got loving points?? They translated my skills from ME2 exactly and gave me spares...
Also nice touch evolving my "Heavy Incinerate" into the +2 meter build. Yes, I spec'd into more damage versus AoE last time so you should definitely give me the exact opposite in this game.

Yep, the game surprising remembers your level in ME2. I was level 31 in ME2 and started that way in ME2. Also hard-core in this game is way harder then ME2. Grenade guys and turrets can go just go gently caress off.

Quoting myself so the fix for this is more noticeable. If you experience this, order a squadmate to move somewhere, you should then be un-stuck.

Anyone playing on Insanity on the first run through? If so, how is it so far? Since it sounds like you get a load of skill points right away if you import, it shouldn't be too bad. I'll be playing an Engineer.

No, seriously why the gently caress do you have points? I'm actually really mad about this.

Ugh. Welp, it seems the A-12 Raider is indeed not available for 360. gently caress. Thanks for nothing Origin.

I heard you could get a swanky jacket for having played the demo but saw no hints as to how to unlock it. Any ideas?

If you import a high enough character from ME2 you should. If you don't then you've got an import bug.

I couldn't tell you, I downloaded one of the saves on the masseffect save website, and I ended up with this fat stack of free skill points.

No, he explained it. If you import some community save he has all his points up for grabs therefore no ranks to transfer therefore 1 million points instead of only 30 like I got.

I imported my level 31 ME1->ME2 Vanguard...some of my skills had points in them but the game gave me about 29 to spare, I think.

I think I'll try a different save, I'm worried that 59 free points will completely unbalance the game.

So, am I the only one having launch problems? I click play from origin, load for a second and then.. nothing happens! I'm sorry if I missed this being discussed, but does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I've checked google and found nothing, unfortunately.
