So people are saying this entire game is timed, much like after you got legion. Any truth to this?

Nice to see that ME3 studied at the School of Dragon Age 2 enemy encounter design. Enemies just fall from the sky and rush in from corridors just out of sight!

This is the entire game. The entire game is literally enemies respawning right in front of and possibly behind you on a generic rocky planetside or, if you're lucky, in a generic space hallway.

Can someone explain how the new planet scanning stuff works? Is it ok to do just one burst of that scan thing or do I need to do it multiple times for every planet?

I seriously have not played with Jack enough. Running through the collector base to get a renegade shep ready for import, and the last wave of The Long Walk with the pair of scions I always save a Cain shot for. I charge up the shot with perfect timing so that it fires as soon as the platform stops to let the husks charge, and right as the nuke goes off Jack quips "Hello dead people!"

Just a head's up that for those who bought the digital version off Origin, if you're missing any of your extras, double check that nothing hiccuped with the download by clicking the i button. I know some were missing thier artbook and/or soundtrack which for some reason didn't fire off installing like the game and DLC.

Wow the Kinect commands really are that amazing. I'm sitting a good 10 feet away with the sound up pretty loud and it is flawlessly picking up every command. Ever game should have kinect support like this.

Basically, as I understand it, in one of the terrible books that bridges the games that you shouldn't ever read, Anderson steps down as Councillor.

Anyone else playing Infiltrator? For some reason, aiming down the scope of my sniper rifle does not trigger any slowdown. I just got to Mars, so I have a sniper rifle for the first time since speccing max into operational mastery, but when I look down the scope I see literally no difference. Am I missing something, or does it not trigger automatically like in ME2?

Oh, and Kasumi is so goddamned awesome when you meet her again on the Citadel. I got worried for a second that she wasn't faking her death. Also return of "BIG. STUPID. JELLYFISH."

Just finished the Tuchanka mission. That was probably the most fun mission I've played in Mass Effect. Wrex, Mordin and now Eve are easily my favorite characters in the games. And the holy poo poo moment, despite having been featured heavily in trailers, was still great. But oh man, the end of that mission. Mordin

They just made the mistake of having the host of the biowareTV stream go outside and ask fans what they're most looking forward to. the result: "I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO BLOWJOBS FROM THAT BLU-" "alright enough of you, we'll edit that one out in post" now they're talking to someone dressed as an asari. Aaaah.

Speaking of the Citadel, is there more to see there besides the Hospital, Dock, and Ambassador region? Or do the other sections open up later in the game?

Stream's back up. http://twitch.tv/gyoruspy My internet connection died for 20 minutes earlier which was why the stream suddenly died in the middle of that firefight. During the downtime, Shepard piloted a gundam. Let's hope it stays up for at least 3 hours.

jcp982 posted:I'm generally mixed on the game so far, definitely leaning on the positive. I'd say my biggest complaint is that there does seem to be a distinct lack of dialogue options. Second place goes to strange movement animations. Third place goes to pacing and structure. My Garrus is dead Is there a ME2 save editor or will I have to download someone else's save?

First impressions: - The setup for what Shepard has to do makes sense now that I've read up on my starting war assets and messages. The defense committee at the beginning of the game/demo may have been terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought, but someone, probably Admiral Hackett, had a contingency plan in place for the various fleets to fall back, rendezvous, then start counterattacking. - They prettied up this game, but human faces are comically hit or miss. - The same goes for the character animations and lip syncing. Some good, subtle stuff and some strange, awful poo poo. - I've had one actual conversation with Vega and I think he's a pretty cool dude. Good job, Freddie Prinze Jr. - Jessica Chobot is bad at voice acting. I'd rather talk to Khalisah al-Jilani and I'm glad I did the paragon interrupt for her by the way. - Did I mention that this game looks a lot better? It runs better too even with FSAA. I haven't tried super-sampled AA yet because it made the demo choke and die. - I am PUMPED AS gently caress to play this after work tomorrow and don't even care about the dumb parts of the story from that leaked script anymore.

CaptainCarrot posted:Nope. They're dropped off by shuttles, sometimes directly, and sometimes into a room above you that you can't access, and that's on open maps; on the closed maps, they simply get sent out from the areas you haven't yet reached, or, again, from shuttles. Enemies don't ever come from nowhere, not like Dragon Age 2. I hate the monster closet design too. Although it isn't as bad as in DA 2 (aside from the more logical teleporting in of enemies, which was in DA 2 really that - teleporting in), where it made planning impossible, because you don't know how many opponents you might fight. You blew your long-CD AoE spells always right before a new wave spawns, thinking the fight is nearly over. At least in ME 3 the CDs are quite short, so it doesn't gently caress you over quite as much if you blew an AoE at the wrong time. Decius fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Mar 6, 2012 |
