[Mass Effect] Ah yes, "sequels". We have dismissed this claim. Tag spoilers for newbies!

    Yeah they will, and they'll also work on the Xbox Series X if you get that (Series S as well, but there's no disc drive there).

    You can't just plug the HD-DVD drive into it? I thought it was backward compatible! What bullshit!

    It's not a PC, you can't attach a disc drive on the side, no. It is backwards compatible on the Series S if you use the digital version.

    Xbox disc drives that play games have had DRM coupling them with individual motherboards since the Xbox 360, at least.

    If they didn't reset the unlocks everyone who comes to the game new (and it's been a while, so there'd be a lot of them) is going to wonder why there are these people with Apocalypse Cannons or whatever on day one.

    Considering it's purely co-op, meh?

    Also the people with unlocks are going to be playing Gold and Platinum. No one fresh to ME3MP should really be doing anything higher than Silver because at that point the rest of the team is 100% carrying them.

    *edit*
    though to be fair when playing with some of the PA people you get 100% carried anyways because everything is dead before you get to shoot at it :P
    I'll have you know I played ME3MP for years and still need to be carried, good sir.

    So, the Bioware store is active again.

    Oh, but it already was, you might be thinking?

    Nope, now we've got the good stuff.

    So, I was making a joke, but just wanted to clarify.. I was joking around about the old HD DVD drive, not ripping a DVD drive out of a 360 and plugging it into a series S.

    Was there any foundation to that claim that Mass Effect Trilogy was being remastered?

    I still have not completed ME3 and I still don't know what the ending everyone has complained about for several thousand decades is so I keep wanting to go back and finish it, but not if there's a remastered version. coming out soon.

    Still technically rumors, but if you currently own ME3 and haven't finished it yet, might as well. The remaster is not going to change the story/ending, and updating the graphics won't make it better or worse.

    Unless they add tired faces, I guess.

    In this thread I will explain how the wide open maps, pulled back camera, removal of heavy melee and increased payola in ur characters and tying skill points to color unlocks served to make MEAMP inferior to ME3MP.

    God that hoodie looks incredible. I worry about the longevity though. Plus USD and shipping still makes it too painful to actually get. :(

    There are only a few gaming related things I will wear.

    The N7 stripes are one of them.

    @Trajan I'm a few days late, but thank you!

    I actually went on a hunt with my old hard drives and I actually found my completed Mass Effect 2 save.

    But I could play through it again, why not.

    The key is that if someone calls it out as nerdy you can easily counter attack by pointing out that only a nerd would recognise it as nerdy, so are they not therefore a nerd themselves?
    Thus hoisted upon their own petard, you just say "I should go", and leave them to reflect on their own nerdiness.

    Has anyone gotten their hands on one of these yet? I'm wondering if it's the same quality as the originals.

    The one that they just released on the BioWare store looks thinner, more year-round than the originals. The drawstring reminds me of the Inquisitor hoodie (which I have), which is entirely made of a different kind of fabric.

    Insert Coin have set up preorders for what looks like another N7 hoodie design that I can't link to at the moment because the website doesn't load up right now, but the fit and fabric looks a little closer to the original designs (and are also selling preorders for what looks like track pants with a matching armour stripe, which is cute)
    If they're the same as the other hoodies I've gotten from them though they're also not as thick as the originals, which are very much double-layered winter gear

    There's a few new things up at the Bioware store: https://gear.bioware.com/collections/mass-effect

    Of note: Paragon/Renegade growler, and a complete 1-volume comics collection.

    Although given recent-ish events, I'm giving that Javik t-shirt a little bit of side-eye.

    The growler will soon be mine. Be a few weeks though, as I went with the slowest shipping option.

    Seems like I lucked out getting the N7 growler because they don't have it listed anymore I think

    It's absolutely badass, it's a ginormous vacuum-walled black behemoth and it has absolutely motivated me to actually drink the daily recommended volume of water like a sensible N7 in training should

    Finally got around to pulling the trigger on some stuff. Best to do a bunch at once because the overseas shipping is so extortionate.

    Didn't bother with a growler, but among other things, my doggo is going to have an awesome new collar soon.

    Is that the distressed N7 one? I got that yesterday with the Moridin for my god-daughter that is totally not still in my room and I'm absolutely going to get around to giving her at some point for sure.

    Oh and a femshep pin for if I ever go back into the office (When I started they gave us a thing for your desk to put achievement pins on but whether or not you got pins depended entirely on you manager. I had six managers in five years. So I just fill mine out with random pins and if anyone asks what a given one is for I say I was told I'm not supposed to talk about that.)

    To be fair, new Mass Effect merch showing up is an actual event. I mean, not just the resurrection of the Bioware store but they are actively creating new Mass Effect stuff too. That is definitely worthy of discussion!

    You know, it's funny, that Tali canvas print is sold out, obviously, but I remember when that same image was offered as a Giclee print, limited edition of 500 numbered copies. They knew they wouldn't hang around and specified exactly when the orders would go live. The moment they did, the website slowed to a goddamn crawl, and I think within about two minutes they were all gone.

    But I got one. :)

    (One of them immediately made its way onto eBay for like $1,000, no lie. I forget if it sold. But it made me feel extra glad I only paid $40 for it!)

    They did a subsequent Tali one too, a year or two later, with the Migrant Fleet on it as well. That one was even more limited, to 250.

    Both of them currently hang on my bedroom wall.
