    I don't think NG+ was that bad in ME2. Well, the Freedom's Progress YMIR sucked, but after that... having all your powers was more than compensation for losing your weapon/armor upgrades.

    that corner in omega would like a word with you.

    Just Warp Bomb it with Miranda. If you can set up a Warp Bomb on the last Vorcha before the turn... it'll knock down the two around the corner long enough for you to hop cover, turn to the right, and charge the Pyro. Then there should be a guy by the switch to Charge for the quick door close.

    Unless you're not playing Vangod. You monster.

    relax dude

    as i've said earlier, both previous mass effect games have included some heinously stupid plot-related shit

    but always accompanied by fucking amazing music

    thus whenever i read a spoiler that makes me go 'um' i realize that when the music's playing i'm actually going to be saying 'FUCK YEAH'

    I don't get it. Is it bad just because you didn't expect it to go down this way? Or is it bad because it sounds like the marketing department wrote that part of the game?

    Listen.

    The ending to ME2 was silly.

    But I didn't care because the music was awesome and running around was awesome and the entire endgame is awesome.

    Also, this is pretty rad.

    I don't have the link and don't want to try to search for it cause there's spoilers all over BSN

    If you ordered the digital download special edition of the game the soundtrack apparently is available to download now.

    Origin keeps saying Content Download Error. :(

    You don't understand, because you're not a 'real' fan. Bioware RUINED the franchise by adding something so stupid. Like, it put a gun to its head and pulled the trigger.

    That's the logic many fans use.

    I happen to think it's a fun boss to blow up.

    Aldrin is great. I'm glad they even managed to give him a small speaking role in the game.

    So, I've been scanning the forums for this, but I'm assuming someone knows who the full permanent squadmate list is. I saw one a few weeks back but wasn't sure if it had been updated. If anyone knows for sure, I wouldn't mind a spoilered list. I have the ME3 Art Book but haven't read past a certain page that my roommate told me to avoid, but there's some stuff in there that would indicate perhaps certain people? Including a couple really surprising characters.

    In short, I'm trying to get any disappointment out of the way so I can just go into the game knowing what I can and can't do.

    He's also Shepard's great great grand father.

    Afterall, he's a war hero, space explorer, and...

    I don't think there's any need for an update. As far as I know, the list that's been going around for a few months is correct. ...god, I want this game to come out already.

    Buzz Aldrin is a legitimate, real life hero.

    Sometimes I think hero as a title has become diluted in modern society. It's used for everything, people can heroically do the most mundane things.

    But Buzz Aldrin is a motherfucking hero.

    When he dies, there had better be a fucking state funeral. Him and Neil Armstrong are the greatest living Americans, by far.

    so have people been checking out the ME2 daily news now that it is back and running again? I haven't seen much discussions bout it but the updates have all been super interesting.
    posts so far:
    ANN Chirper Feed Update

    Citadel Ship Shot Down Over Garvug
    “Official ship for Citadel Committee on Paleotechnology shot down over Garvug. Data files on Prothean inventions could be in criminal hands.”

    Khar’Shan communication gone dark. Batarian economy cut off from colonies. Hegemony: “Comm buoy disruption due to solar output.”

    Buoys at batarian homeworld still down. Governor of Camala colony: “We know the Alliance has stealth vessels. This is obviously an attack.”
    Batarians flee hegemony space
    Exodus cluster relay jammed by batarian ships. Alliance: “Now that the comm buoys are offline, the batarians are fleeing their government.”
    Alliance News Network: Please stand by
    ANN Earth is experiencing comm buoy difficulties. Please stand by.
    They are starting to tell quite the little story here.

    Well yeah, but we know there are still reporters like Allers that are plot important. Probably there will be some kind of coverage of war events.

    After playing the Turian all the way to lvl 20, I decided to give the human sentinel a try. Losing Overload does suck but now I get to laugh evily every 1.5 seconds as I crush an enemy against a wall/roof/floor/endless fall. Even with Tech Armour's cooldown Thrown comes back ridiculously fast.

    Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.
