Honestly, does anyone expect the VGA announce to be anything BUT ME3? I can't imagine they will announce a new IP until well into the ME3 marketing push. They aren't going to want to take attention away from the end of one of the highest rated modern game series of all time. But, that's just my take on it.
Please be Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood 2!
Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station didn't lead into any sort of ME2 event. One was free and just about killing Batarians, and the other is just about plain combat, with some new weapons. Blah in my opinion.
The DLC for ME2 is pretty good, for the most part. Only DLC I've bought though is alternate costumes because dammit Garrus needs a new suit, the Kasumi DLC, and LotSB. Depending on who would be in the next bundle, or how well it's done, I might get another alternate costume set.
So apparently Sony Russia has accidentally leaked that the game that is going to be revaled at the VGAs is Mass Effect 3. So much for all the speculation about a multiplayer title?
If this is true...
ohmygodpleasebetrue
then it still wont be out till late next year at the earliest
but it will be nice to see where they are taking the series
You are all gonna be so disappointed when it turns out that the video was just a ruse, and the announcement turns out to be for "Bejeweled: Mass Effect edition." or something equally lame.
I love the elcor, and think they're quite humorous (as my avatar may indicate), but god damn I hate talking to them in-game. The elcor hamlet ads in the Citadel were pretty damn funny though.
And I don't really care what they announce at this point, I just want to know.

I just really really want to see an elcor in combat.
What's a no-cooldowns run in ME1? no powers? or play like ME2 where you have to wait for one cooldown before you use another power? or something else entirely?

See I thought Mass Effect 3 was a given, and the VGA announcement said something along the lines of a new game, not a sequel. But ME3 will be a new game so now I'm conflicted. I know ME3 is coming, I don't know if a ME-Multi game is...
Stop talking about ME3 dudes, the sheer mention of that combination of words and letters turns me into a giddy, joyful, slavering mess...and I'm in work :P
i really wish they'd just sell poster versions of the lithos
or failing that widescreen wallpaper versions
THIS.
I agree it's amazing stuff, but as much as I love the lithos, I don't make enough money to justify picking them up. At this point, I'm just like one step away from setting my direct deposit to go straight to BioWare. The N7 Hoodie set me back a bunch already.... but it's SOOOOOO good.
If someone creates a miracle foolproof medicine that is a cure for the common cold, cancer and loneliness but it has the minor side effects of explosive diarrhea, uncontrollable bleeding from the eyes and murder-fugues, that's not a total 'resounding' success.
and it's even rarer for me to dream about video games
but i just dreamt that i saw the opening to ME3
and it was GLORIOUS.
scene opens with shepard sitting in a nice, well-appointed ground-floor office on a garden world. it's twilight outside, lights in the distance are subdued but pretty against the darkening sky. this shep is apparently a female, and is shorter and denser than the usual shepard template (customizable body types!?). she also has a hairstyle that i can only describe as realistic (!) with flyaways and such. she's checking email, and joker walks in with a folder.
"hey commander, we just got the new normandy armor sample in." he takes the folder and opens it, unfolding it. it seems to double in thickness and respond to his touch. soon enough what he's holding is a 1 foot square section of hull plating, light - and apparently very flexible. he bends it with his hands to show the shiny side. "this stuff's amazing. everything we've thrown at it just seems to bounce off."
"that's great, joker. let me know when it's installed."
"you got it, commander." he leaves.
shepard pulls up a communication symbol on her large desk. EDI (!!) appears, and opens a channel to the alliance. before any message can be sent, however, the holographic display disappears to static, then resolves to show an image of a reaper. shepard's face darkens. The voice is familiar, dark, and resonant.
shepard growls out an irritated response. "what do you want, harbinger? you're never getting back into this galaxy."
"YOU LIE."
"no, i'm not lying. i stopped saren, i stopped the collectors, and i don't plan on letting anyone else stand in my way."
"WE HAVE FOUND ANOTHER WAY."
this is news. big news. before shepard can respond, the ground starts shaking. camera cuts to a view just above the colony, where 5 reaper-esque structures slowly appear over the horizon. EDI cuts in. "commander, the colony's automated defenses have been activated." 5 turrets rise from the ground in various parts of the colony, and start firing thanix cannon shots (!!!!!) at the structures. shepard tells EDI that she wants every reaper structure monitored immediately.
"shepard, my analysis confirms reaper origin."
"no shit EDI, tell me something i don't know."
"all five of the structures have released one of their 'claws' into the ground underneath us. shepard, the claws are not converging on our location."
"then where are they going?" The ground shakes violently.
"they appear to be heading to the interior of the planet. they are accelerating."
shepard grips her desk. "joker. get us out of here!"
"you got it, ma'am!"
the well-appointed office dissolves into holographic bits that reveal shepard actually standing in the conference room of the normandy (fully customizable rooms/normandy interiors!!). the camera zooms outside to show the normandy sitting on a landing pad on the surface. systems being powering up.
EDI chimes in again. "shepard, i am detecting an anomaly in the planetary gravitational field. it is expanding rapidly. i suggest haste."
"JOKER! NOW!"
the normandy lifts off, and rapidly gains altitude. the camera cuts to space. the normandy whooshes up from the planet, which seems to convulse in a massive warp field. then, it explodes into millions of tiny fragments.
camera cuts back to shepard, looking EXTREMELY grim. "they just killed a world to get to me. the reapers are going to pay."

Remember when they said Bring Down The Sky was the first of many DLC for ME1 and that some of the DLC would bridge with ME2?

This is the best kind of DLC. Hundreds more plz!
No they did not, but originally Bioware had stated they would have bridging DLC for ME1. It just never happened.

this would be so awesome
Either way looking forward to the VGAs. Well... looking forward to watching the trailer uploaded online after that is.
If there was a spinoff of nothing but killing batarians and sexing Asari, it'd be #1.
For some reason, I fully expect the Asari to be changed to other random species. Drell?
I would play the shit out of such a game.
Edit. Lovely, top of the page double post fail.
So your double fail won't be too noticeable.
you guys know about it right?
I hope we get some sort of Reaper scout, something we haven't seen before.
And Mass Effect 3 leak? FUCK YEAH!
Time to go from Quads to Quints gentlepeople.
Also, why the hell is there no Elcor DLC.
edit: Nevermind, just found it.
All I want is a massive, plot-driven DLC pack that takes place on an Elcor planet.
The conversations alone would take 10 hours to go through, nevermind the combat and exploration.
And I don't really care what they announce at this point, I just want to know.
It would be awesome.
Edit: Somthing like this
(Please do not gift. My game bank is already full.)
that would be rather slow compared to the swift biotic bug warriors the rachni queen is preparing
speaking of which - during my no-cooldowns ME1 run - fighting stasis-spamming brood warriors requires tactics
