So just a trailer, and a release date for a novel? Didn't they say they'd have more than just a trailer? Who the gently caress reads Mass Effect books

I just thought that I had read somewhere that they might unveil a beta. Guess I'll just play some ME3 MP.

But if it's a year before the reaper war there likely aren't any Geth.

Unless they infiltrated.

A year before the massive reaper invasion, not a year before the first game.

Also the geth were around before that, but nobody had made contact with them in a long time as they remained on the outer edge of the galaxy, IIRC.

The first page of the GI article specifically lists Turians as one of the four races.

quote:

It involves constructing four "arks," massive ships meant to support thousands of lives. Each one carries members of a different race - humans, turians, asari, salarians - on a centuries-long, one-way voyage to the Andromeda galaxy.

I just realied that I never even completed the Citadel DLC way back when. I remember doing the part in the apartment, but I was pretty burnt out with the game by that point and never picked it back up again. I should probably get on that.

I'm guessing the writers are going into this with the assumption there will be sequels. That is one thing that really seemed to gently caress up the first three games. Mass Effect One is a big sensation and the writers can't come up with anything so they squat over a galaxy map and out plops Cerberus and Jesus Shepard.

Yes but Mass Effect 2 owned sooo

1-800-A-Buff-Gay-Dude's "Lock of the Week":

Game will have tight MP where you can hoot and holler with your bros for hours, but the microtransaction poo poo will go way too far compared to the perfect setup it from last time because industry trends with this poo poo have changed in the 5 years since.

The SP will be total poo poo that combines the worst of ME3 with a bunch of the bad parts of the new Dragon Age game. There will be a new Kai Leng.

This is pretty much what I'm banking on. I'll still pay the 60 bones for the multiplayer alone, and probably play the story once just because.

I think she has a majority of the pie chart in ME1, and even in 3 she still holds on to over a third. So, yeah. However much poo poo people might give Bioware for the Asari, it's not like we, the players, are any less deserving of mockery.


Sadly, they only ever gave out official stats for popularity, though Liara wins there as well, barely edging out Garrus.

People like Liara? What the gently caress?

i hope in the mass affect 4 they add a tinder-style app instead of planet scanning where you cruise the ship real close and it shows you a list of organisms you can gently caress and you swipe right a bunch until you get a match and then you can go to the planet to find that organism and gently caress it

I liked the ME3 ending.

I naturally went with destroy because my shepherd from day one was ruthless and gets the job done at any cost, even if it means losing synthetics. Plus it turns out that my shepherd also survived because I saw them breathing at the very end! I always believed that shepherd was slowly being indoctrinated like Saren and the Illusive man (I also managed to get both of them to suicide thanks to my ridiculous renegade points both times). My shepherd fought against it constantly and saw Control as being a lie - they would have controlled me! And merge felt like imposing a biological change on the members of the galaxy and that wasn't fair.

OMG I forgot about the Shepard breathing scene at the end! Why the gently caress did they do that? :psyduck:

I can't see them loving up the multiplayer, but 60 bucks just for multi is harrumphing. I feel like five bucks to play the demo and a mirror's edge game I had no idea existed is a good move

I never played the first one.. I suppose this would probably be as good an opportunity as any

Multiplayer feels fine, cover system feels fine once you realize you don't need to push anything to enter cover. Also it's really nice to be able to jump, jetpack all around feels nice.

I'll buy the game, but I had $60 in Best Buy rewards burning a hole in my pocket anyway.

That said, I have very low hopes going into single player (which I'll probably just save until Tuesday). That fuckin potty walk, man lmao
