    I have absolutely 0% interest in playing Mass Effect 3 singleplayer.

    I don't know if this says good things about the MP or bad things about the SP.

  • tastydonutstastydonuts Registered User regular
    Yeah... getting pretty stale with just geth/reaper/cerberus.

    I have to imagine that they're waiting to present the new factions along with the single player DLC so they can use 'em for SP missions (mercs/mechs for Omega, maybe Collectors for a Prothean, er, I mean "Phoenix" DLC).

    By demanding "clarification"
    (we didn't),
    we may have pushed back all of those efforts, because they're too busy clarifying.

    yea, I think there may/should be more factions later.

    hmm... so, SOLDIER + Indra + Eagle * Gold = ??

    Hey do me a favor and let me know if you start to feel a nosebleed coming on? Wanna make sure I'm not wasting my time.

    @tastydonuts played with a guy this weekend who had an Indra equipped on his Geth infiltrator and was extremely effective with it. Was taking down enemies faster than I could get to them. Don't recall if he had ammo bonuses equipped but I'm assuming so.

    Yahg White Gold

    I wonder if the Brute was what became of Bioware initially asking "what would a Yahg husk look like?". Then deciding what they came up with was awesome and having to give it some fitting lore.

    Yeah, I think it'd do good on an infiltrator with the bonuses... not so much on my soldier (it's also only rank II). But we got put in Reactor fighting geth, so it's hard to say for sure.

    I suppose that makes more since than thinking of them as Turian females.

    What was the Brute lore?

    I really enjoy the Hurricane.

    I really enjoy it on my human Soldier, too, at extremely close range. Enemies just, they just melt.

    Also on Human Infiltrator I'm discovering a deep affection for a Valiant/Claymore combo.

    Did they do something to the Geth on Silver? I was just in a couple of games and everybody on the team was dying in wave 1. The Geth were firing at my cloaked Gethfiltrator from across the bloody map and dropping me like a hot stone.

    It was... demoralizing. The Valiant did not seem to be up to the task.

    I think you just got on a bad team.

    As for firing while cloaked, enemies will fire on your last known location.

    Or maybe...maybe they gave the Geth HUNTER MODE!!!

    May have to consider this

    The team was ridiculously efficient when we'd played a Cerberus game on Ghost just prior to that. Then it switched to Geth on Hydra and we got positively annihilated. It was strange.

    Hydra is a murder map, so many open sight lines, and geth punish you when you're in the open.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I think it's required that every Geth Rocket Trooper watch Wanted or something.

    Geth is brutal on Hydra because a rocket trooper can hit nearly anywhere from nearly anywhere.

    Meh. I would say in general, Hydra is only really difficult if your team refuses to move around.

    As long as you relocate when things get sticky Hydra is actually one of the easier maps because there is so much room to run away.

    Well yeah but at least nemesis don't stagger. And I think ravagers don't either.

    So on a whim I decided to try the Hurricane out on my T. Soldier.

    The Power

    And that's only level 1.

    Until you get a hack objective, where you're punished by site lines and locked down.

    The Brute started out as (ME3 endgame spoilers)
    The Illusive Man's King Hopper form.

    Thankfully, they turned that into a conversation instead. TIM as a brute would have been dumb.

    Yep.

    Out of all the Reaper forces, it was the once that least looks like the description to me. It's also got more purely mechanical parts than most, both the feet and most of the arms just look like metal robot parts.

    That makes a little more or less sense.

    my dream DLC has shepard becoming an 'honorary' krogan after Surkesh, getting drunk with wrex, and then waking up with a large hump and a hard forehead

    So...to remind me why I don't by PSPs anymore the game gave me not one but two character cards.

    At least they were for classes I don't have all the colors for.

    Just tried out my new Hurricane on my Turian Soldier, and wow. With AP rounds, SMG rail amp 3 it just decimated gold mobs. Though it looks like I may have to run the stability armor mod, even with marksman and shooting from cover, the climb was pretty intense.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    Naw...that's just how it always is.

    The only way you can get the stability error is by taking your stability over 100% and the only way to do that is why the stability mod which is AR exclusive.

  • SimpsoniaSimpsonia Registered User regular
    Wait, so the stability armor mod wouldn't stack with the Marksman buffs and lessen it?

    I opened five PSPs and all I managed to get was an upgrade to my Javelin and Paladin. :(

    Two PSPs today, each with an ultra-rare I didn't have. Not that interested in the Saber, but the Wraith seems pretty great, aside from only having two shots. Now all that's left is the Paladin and Eagle, or "the opposite pistols."

    And oh man, I never noticed that the batarian potato-sack melee swings hit an arc of targets before (probably because I never used it). That is excellent.

    I'd take em in trade if I could. I like it, it's like having a pistol SMG with a bit more of a bite.
