[Mass Effect] 4-Player Cooperative Lesbians

Kadoken

The graphics are the exact same as 2. I hope they polished the combat and dialogue.

SoundsPlush

I'm happy it was pushed into March so that I won't have to feel bad choosing between DX3 and ME3 for GoTY.

For the longest time I was thinking this was coming out Q4 2011, right around AC Revelations and Arkham City

And then when I finally looked it up and saw March 2012 I nearly had a heart attack

It was coming out around that time

This game being delayed was an incredibly good decision. That period is going to be absolutely HELL with a whole bunch of great stuff being released.

As opposed to March, where X-Com is basically the only thing I can think of coming out and nobody gives a shit about it. This makes March a happy and exciting month, spreads out the insane crush of ridiculously quality titles being released over the next couple of months and means happy gamers all around.

In the end, if the game was coming out soon I would be thinking about what game I will be buying at the moment I had to sacrifice for ME3.

What do you mean "polished the combat"? Have you watched ANYTHING they've released? The combat looks ridiculously better.

I don't think that's Garrus.

Maybe Head C-Sec guy?

Looks like Executor Pallin to me.

Well...honestly, I would prefer they take their time. While I liked the game DA2 was rushed and it is pretty obvious in some areas.

Honestly, I already think ME1/ME2 are some of the better games I've played and if ME3 is even greater than that it might become one of my favorite games of all time(if not that).

So, I'll wait.

Yeah. I'll be impatient, but I'm happy to wait if it means a higher quality release.

It's not Pallin, Pallin has a darker Carapace and blue face-paint, also, Pallin is dead.

I'm guessing that this is somebody new, either a Spectre, or Turian military officer.

Dragkonias

Yeah. Just because its a not-Garrus turian, doesn't mean its every not-Garrus turian you've ever met that isn't Garrus.

You humans are all racist!

Orca

Since it's going to be delayed, I have one request of Bioware.

ME3 is taking place on Earth. Therefore, we should be able to recruit this guy

Dragkonias

...Well, I mean...we have to give the Reapers a chance.

curly haired boy

i concur.

also, garrus should totally get a rad helicopter to fly.

EDIT: and hippy pants

Orca

If Garrus is smoking a blunt while scoping and dropping in ME3, it will be enough.

Dragkonias

Man...I forgot how bad SR2 looked. Glad 3 looks a lot better if still not a bit janky.

Orca

Yeah. Shitty port, crappy controls, actors/cars/etc. have the nasty tendency to pop in and out of existence, missions have a tendency to be unbalanced...

...but it doesn't matter, because the writing and missions are fucking hilarious.

I can't wait for Saints Row 3.

Checked out the Mass Effect 3 gameplay today.

Garrus has no scar!

envoy1

that title screen: YES! It reminds of the awesome ME1 version that was far superior to ME2. The memories...

Shepard looks sad because Kaidan outclasses him in every possibly way now, both in looking badass and rank

I hope his face is as cybernetically upgraded as my fist, because those two are about to have a meeting.

-Tal

Bring it on, bitch.

Lux

Don't think that's Executor Pallin, he hasn't got the face tattoos.

Dox the PI

It could possibly be...



wait for it



...a new character


DUN DUN DUN

-Tal

why are Garrus and Shepard shooting at Legion? And why did he paint himself yellow and pick up a flamethrower?

There was a hole.

If Mass Effect: Inquisition is canon

Then Executor Pallin is dead.

It could be Chellick from the first game though.

Heatwave

Don't be absurd.

There was no first game.

For the PS3

-Tal

Chellick has completely different tattoos and skin color

it's a new character, guys

A duck!

So I played this yesterday at PAX and it is fairly sweet. The big improvement is melee combat, which has better flowing attacks and the sweet new stab. It was good enough that I basically stopped shooting things.

curly haired boy

infiltrator can now actually be a ninja

to quote the good king foltest:

THIS I LIKE.

Dragkonias

Yeah. Vanguard and Infiltrator are my two main classes.

I'm guessing cloak->melee and charge->melee will be very fun.

curly haired boy

well now that special melee is basically a OHKO that makes it fairly great

Where is that from? The other day, I looked on youtube for the moment when Kaidan mentions his higher rank, but I couldn't find it.

Dragkonias

Kaiden has reached the rank of Staff Commander as of ME2. The highest Shepard ever did before the starting events of ME2 was Lieutenant Commander. Thus, Kaiden outranks you as far as Alliance protocol goes.

I think Anderson or TIM is the one who tells you. Don't remember.

Captain Carrot

Of course, Shepard dies at the beginning of ME2, so pretty much anything can happen before the main plot of these games. Though given that ME3 starts with

a court martial over the events of Arrival

, I'm guessing a promotion isn't in the works.

Orca

Commander Shepard is a SPECTRE guys.

She's outside the system. Doesn't matter what your rank is, you salute her or she'll break your face in.

-Tal

You don't salute spectres, you run away from them.

Dragkonias

Yeah...who the hell salutes a spectre? I would get away before they blow something up.

Orca

Err....ahh....point.

-Tal

Refusing the spectre reinstation is the right choice because the Council's narrative has finally broken down and people realize that Spectres are just government-sanctioned assholes. And Shepard doesn't need a government sanction to be an asshole.

Dragkonias

Yeah. At first I thought Shepard was just a loose cannon Spectre.

-But then the first book shows you that Saren was a huge dick before being indoctrinated.
-Nihlus put innocents in a dangerous situation to escape pursuit from a Justicar who he was only being chased by in the first place because he harmed innocents.
-(Shadow Broker spoilers)

Vasir took a hostage and commanded a strike on a civilian building, after failing to kill someone and shot one of her own allies point blank to cover her tracks.

I think being psychotic just comes with the Spectre territory.
