Mass Effect, woo hoo ! We talk about the first three games, all DLC, multiplayer, great (and not so great) fan art, but not those creepy fan fiction threads because, ewww.

    I hear it's quite good. You should give it a try.

    And thanks to Fairchild for starting the new thread. Was getting close there.

    Yes. Yes is the answer.

    Cheers. It's not hard to do, just click on the "Start New Discussion" link. Geth's "probe" only takes about 30 minutes to complete, then you're good to go.

    I should say that if anyone else wants to make a new thread with a more vibrant, fun-filled OP, I will certainly not be offended.

    So today I just realised that during the Reaper fight on Rannoch in ME3, you can contract the targeting reticule with multiple separate "firing" of the targeting laser - you don't have to do each hit on the Reaper in one long targeting burst.

    All I can hear in my head is that "Ya. Ya. Ya. Ya" Chun li sound from Street Fighter II.


    Shadow Broker fight is probably my favorite boss fight in the whole trilogy. This huuuuge hulking beast with an energy shield, and Shep's just "Like I give a fuck!" shoulder ram into fisticuffs.

    I play the Smashdept quite often. I enjoy it but I'm a much bigger fan of the vanilla human adepts, mainly because I prefer Singularity->Shockwave over Singularity->Smash. And then you also get Warp as one of the nicest bonuses around.

    Almost never play the Smashguard, but that's mainly because I almost never host.

    Mass Effect 1 was probably my favorite game of last generation, and one of my favorite of all time. Sadly I have not beaten the third, I should get to that.

    Actually beating ME3, that you don't want to do for the sake of all that's holy. You want to come close to beating the game, right up until you reach a certain elevator. Then stop, for pity's sake, stop.

    A large number of (vocal?) people don't like the ending for a variety of reasons. Some good reasons, some bad reasons.

    The Extended Cut has salved that wound for most however. It might not be the ending we wanted, but it's not bad.

    A few brain-damaged individuals actually like the original ending over the Extended cut.
    I might be one of those brain-damaged individuals

    If you have the extended cut, go ahead and finish the game. You won't regret it. Also: not making a choice is also a decision. Remember that...

    Hmm... yeah, the vanguard fight is weird because tela just charges back and forth between set points... I'm like, yo, I'm here... you're doing it wrong.

    I thought I had completed the Phaeston weapon challenge but after I got the 140K, there seems to be a seperate challenge that requires 200k.

    It's a lot of points, but I've been playing mostly bronze and silvers so it means I'm still fairly competitive. And there have been a lot of new players lately so it's always nice to help them along.

    Hard to find a noticeable difference between the Geth Rifle, Phaeston, and Collector Rifle. All have awesome rates of fire, decent control, and the striking power of a hamster.
