    Hmmm, so an allied goal after none for awhile and right before a major dlc release?

    that puzzle theory is looking more and more likely...

    i am intrigued as to how you propose to tie this completely innocuous thing into the puzzle theory

    lol not really

    the idea is that once all the dlcs have been released there will be a final one tying it all together allowing for a 'successful refusal' ie beating the reaps without the crucible

    you can read about it at length here

    but in summary its wishful thinking from folk that didnae like the endings and want another one

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    That whole idea is nonsense.

    Numbers don't lie; that outcome is impossible. We could outfit every Council planet with a Klendagon cannon and we wouldn't have enough to kill the Reapers.

    Pretty much.

    That sounds even sillier than IT.

    I will say it is amazing how long people have been holding out for this mysterious super, super secret ending.

    It kind of reminds me in FF7 when people thought you could save Aeris by doing something equally as ludicrous.

    Man come to think of it though

    Outfitting every Council planet with a Klendagon cannon would be indescribably bad-ass

    The secret puzzle ending allows you to recruit Aeris, who uses the Triforce to summon Mew and defeat The Reapers.

    you can! you need to open the ps1 during disc 3 and replace it with disc 1 and then place a penny on the top of the ps1, turn around 3 times and clap your hands while saying "I BELIEVE!"

    I think the rumor I heard involved having Aeris do a 1000 or so battles and having all her limits unlocked.

    The scene would basically involve her overpowering Sephiroth and surviving.

    wonder if that new feature is elcor riding.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    Cool, Taky is a funny guy.

    I wonder what that one will be about. I love ME3 because of how dark the whole thing is but it could use a bit of lightening up here and there. Some fun DLC would be awesome.

    Not to say the DLC will be fun in that way, but here's hoping.

    I think "Fun DLC" would be more jarring than anything. Like hey shepard, want to take a break from the end of the world to swashbuckle a little bit?

    also all the secret ending theories were a fun way to make sense of the abortion that was the launch ending, but that's pretty much all they were. I like indoctrination theory and I think it might've been the way they wanted to go at some point in development, but continuing to believe they'll do anything other than add a DLC reference or two to the extended cut strikes me as incredibly silly wishful thinking.

    That true. I guess not something so much fun as much as giving Shepard a moment of reprieve.

    Like the Garrus shooting scene for example. It was a nice funny scene, but still tense at the same time.

    So...did anyone see a operation descriptor for MP.

    Because I didn't see one and not sure how many people know about the extractions part since only the shield part is listed in the challenges.

  • OrcaOrca Also known as Espressosaurus WrexRegistered User regular
    It was a moment of relief within the context of "I think we're going to die"...so yeah.

    Yeah it showed up for me. I actually screenshotted it because it looks like Aria on the splash screen for it.

    the thing I didn't realize at first is that once you've completed a mastery, all the nested challenges reset and you can do them again. So if you regularly played some combination of characters that completed one of them, you could stack up quite a few points just by doing it over and over.

    or I guess you could just play a hell of a lot

    Well that is a Bioware employee, they may even be able to play their account at work some times.

    Also that is Aria, with Nyreen to the side of her, so it's Omega art.

    In the process of finding that via "aria nyreen" image search, I have discovered that people are already fanarting the two together (@Orca @Cambiata).

    These Chibis are equal parts cute and disturbing:
    Samara, Thane, Mordin, Shepard, Grunt, Ashley, Jack

    Whereas this plush Harbinger is all cute.

    Jack cosplay

    Shepard, Wrex, and Garrus, shooting the place up

    I generally don't like Patryk Olejniczak's work (not that it's bad, it just doesn't make me feel anything), but I like this Shepard.

    So what's the ideal role of the Turian Ghost? Sit at medium range to cloak and spray the assault rifle at enemies while keeping stimmed up?

    That's pretty much it. Some people skip Fitness to take Overload and set off explosions off of ammo procs, but I always would rather use the cooldown for MORE DAKKA
