One of the great things about ME3 MP is that you can do just fine on high difficulties with starter classes as long as you know what you're doing. Plain ol' HuDept will wreck poo poo on gold because of the combo system. You're barely firing a weapon at all.

Same with the human engineer, There's no problem in the game you can't solve with overload and incinerate.

I love it when people just leave a hot mic on but don't actually talk or anything, or even really make any utterances of surprise or dismay like some kind of multiplayer robot, but get intensely annoyed if you mute them.

playing ME3 MP will be nice when I have reliable internet again. Nothing worse than trying to do anything biotic-related and nothing working because of lag, you go from being one of the best players to being a last place scrub

Does me3s multiplayer stuff travel between console since it's stored in biowares servers? I originally played on 360 but do own it on PS3.

And you can't hack poo poo with consoles so you'd really be starting from scratch. But again, not a huge deal if you or the people you're running with know what's up.

Even with PC all you can do is hack your MP Credits, because your gear is stored server side, but your credits are mirrored locally.

even with starter equipment you can still finish a platinum or two with the right people. That's how I got my start, ran a level 20 Human Adept with a bunch of SA people and also checked one of the build guides in the ME3 MP thread. Then when I started getting krogan cards there was no turning back

I really wish the warlord had sync kill immunity like the other big and slow classes. Otherwise it's basically the perfect class for me.

 How babby is formed The Drink(s) Drunk Off Our Butts 1 oz gin + tonic 1 oz rum + coke 1 bottle/can beer - any type 3 oz Kahlua 1.5 oz Bailey's For the last drink, 1 oz Kahlua in a shot glass, float 1/2 oz of Bailey's on top. Makes 3. The Drinking Game Consume 1 drink during each section (vents, bubble, platforms, Reaper). Timestamps: Vents - beginning to 7:14 Bubble - to 18:20 Platforms - to 31:00 Reaper - to 36:35 You'll have a couple minutes of cutscene/credits afterwards if you need to vomit or piss yourself or something. The Episode This is it, kids. After a year and some change we finally finish the game. Starting off Kasumi has to run through some pipes while we open doors and shoot stuff. Even on insanity this is pretty easy and the only thing that will gently caress things up is making a bad choice in who to send into the vents. After that we find a hapless colonist and our crew which turns out badly for the colonist but ok for the rest since we didn't go screwing around after the IFF. I misspoke during the video; if you go immediately after the abduction everyone survives. If you do 1-2 missions half the crew dies, and 3 or more everyone but Chakwas gets turned into a reaper slurpee. We send Mordin with the crew for reasons already mentioned. Then we hang out in a biotic bubble and shoot things while Jack walks very slowly. It's supposed to be claustrophobic and tense, but mainly you just want to get it over with after the first time. If you don't use Jack or Samara then the bubble doesn't hold and a random person gets carried away by seeker swarms, regardless of loyalty. Hilariously though Miranda has plot armor up until the last section, so if she gets dragged away she'll show up later and nobody mentions it. If you want to kill her you have to take her to the last mission disloyal. After that it's time to Hold. The. Line. Now how this works is each person has a point score. You're going to want to leave Garrus, Grunt, and Zaeed on the line. IIRC they're worth 2 points each, with a point deducted if they're not loyal. Everyone else is worth one, with the same penalty. Then there's some math involved, you basically need as many points as there are people. A disloyal Zaeed can hold the line if he's by himself.  If you don't have enough points then people start dying, beginning with Mordin (who may die anyway so always safest to send him with the crew). There's a specific order to people dying which I can't be arsed to transcribe, it's the less combat-oriented folks first. While that's going on we head deep into the bowels of the ship and discover what all the abduction and slurpifying was for. Seems they're building a new reaper out of human puree and it looks like a terminator for some reason. This got a lot of WTF reactions from people at launch. It's incredibly stupid if you stop to think about it, but the section is just so over-the-top and silly it wraps back around into awesome. We kill it, then tell TIM to gently caress off. If you decide to give him the station instead it makes a tiny difference in 3 but that's it. I don't give it to him on general principle since Cerberus sucks  Then we have to kill the babby reaper again because I guess Shep didn't notice it hanging off the edge of the platform. Our friend the Cain makes another appearance and then the base blows up. We get to officially tell TIM to gently caress off again and then we see that there are a crapload of reapers hanging out in dark space and they'll be here any minute by the looks of it.Roll credits. Now we still have 2 DLC's to get through, but neither is super long. I'm leaving for Europe in a couple weeks so we'll be all wrapped up before I go. I expect we'll start 3 around the end of September.

I'm rather annoyed that Shepherd never gave the best reason for blowing up the facility: "Do you really think Reaper technology won't have some kind of backdoor in it to let them take it over? If we try to use this to make our own Reaper, we'll just be making weapons for them to use against us." There was even that one mission where we saw the video logs of the Cerberus research team slowly losing a battle to keep the Reapers (or was it the Geth?) from taking over the tech on the facility -- and that was human tech, where the Reapers didn't start with an unfair advantage of having created the tech in the first place. Feels like the writers missed the obvious, here.

Shep's choice should have boiled down to either Paragon "this is way too dangerous to leave intact because it's going to indoctrinate anyone who spends more than a couple hours inside it plus you're a power-hungry rear end in a top hat" or Renegade "eh, Cerberus workers are disposable and you're a power-hungry rear end in a top hat (which we need)."

The Sidonis thing is honestly lovely writing. Here's a group of guys loving with 3 merc bands on a lawless space station knowing full well that those actions are dangerous AF. Suddenly the merc bands threaten 1 specific guy with death (as if he wouldn't get killed at any time if he was caught) so he flips and gets everyone killed except the guy with the smarts and charisma to get a bunch of misfits to work together and gently caress with said merc groups. Sidonis even gets the smart guy out of the way while the ambush happens, instead of say throwing a big party, getting everyone drunk and then having the mercs kick the door in. Or saying "sure guys, let me set something up" and instead informing his buddies what's going to go down so they can ambush the ambushers. It's retarded. Then of course the mercs let the guy go instead of just killing him to tie up any loose ends. Garrus is good in combat, can lead people, and is tactically smart. That's why he's a good choice and Zaeed isn't, who is otherwise a stone cold badass.
