Thresher Maws aren't that bad. Just do some mad circling and fire off a round or two and hope he don't pop up under you.

As long as you don't sit still, you should be fine.

The only time I've been jumped by one from under me was when they glitched my Mako so it was stuck in place.

BigDaddyCool 02-24-2008 05:45 PM

Yeah, I figured out how to kill things with the mako, just got to keep moving

Kane Knight 02-24-2008 07:07 PM

Just keep <s>Swimming</s> driving....

That was a freaking awesome ending, but it's too bad it ended so soon.

Spoilers ahead, bitches.

So I chose the Paragon ending (Save the council) and the choice of Udina as their human rep. I'm wondering how the other endings differ, all in all. I'm assuming the council dies when you choose to say "fuck them," but how do the different endings play out? I know there are only two endings with two variations apiece.

I loved it when Joker took the Normandy in in the final assault. I was wondering if he'd make it out. I mean, even the best pilot in the fleet's got limits, yes?

Also, I'm glad Anderson survived. I love David Keith, and I loved the character. Plus, him headbutting the security guard (If you choose that route) was fucking badass.

End Spoilers.

Nigger.

I've figured out on all the pirate/merc bases. It is easiest to lure all the morons to the base doors and kill them from there. Same trick works everytime.

Though, I wish a second and third play could control the rest of the squad.

Kane Knight 03-03-2008 11:59 AM

It doesn't help that there are only three base designs ever.

I assume that the pirate bases are prefabs that are "dropped" there which is why they look the same from the outside and there are only so many things that can be done to change the insides. But now that I think about it, you would assume there would be different builders with different designs in a galaxy.

Now, I would expect every military base to have the same lay out...assuming they are from the same military.

Kane Knight 03-03-2008 04:54 PM

Of course, the military isn't necessarily the same, nor are the "orefabs" all from the same culture. Or thy shouldn't be.

BigDaddyCool 03-03-2008 04:56 PM

I was just trying to find a logical explaination to get around lazy programmers.

Kane Knight 03-03-2008 08:13 PM

Lazy programming's a pretty good reason.

Kane Knight 03-03-2008 08:13 PM

I love the fact that the DLC is gonna have another one of the identical fortresses, too.

Kane Knight 03-11-2008 08:57 AM

Anyone bought/played the DLC yet?

BigDaddyCool 03-11-2008 09:19 AM

What is DLC?

400 points, 5 bucks.

BDC, DLC is downloadable content.

BigDaddyCool 03-11-2008 12:14 PM

oh...will it be avaible for a while?

Kane Knight 03-11-2008 12:23 PM

Should be up indefinitely. I'm not sure why they'd take it down.

Apparently, it's not even like a full planet, it's more like the side missions. I'm not sure I want to pay five bucks for something only slightly more than one of the standard side missions.

U-Warrior 03-12-2008 02:03 AM

I dl'ed it and will play it after work. I'll let you all know the verdict then.

ClockShot 03-21-2008 08:20 PM

Sheesh. After starting my second game and going though all the crap before I could go planet hopping, finally played Bring Down the Sky. Took me a while but it was well worth it. The home stretch was a pain in the ass.

Kane Knight 03-21-2008 08:47 PM

Worth it? What was good about it.

U-Warrior 03-21-2008 09:23 PM

Honestly, the first thing you do is fight in that generic ship, that is on every planet. After that I had to leave, and havn't played since, as smash bros. and my new ps3 have kept me from finishing.

Also, kk, buy Planet Earth on Blu-ray. Its incredible.

Uncharted is a really fun game too.

Spoilers in black.

It took me a good while to complete cause there were alot of things you had to do. The obvious of course being to stop the asteroid from hitting the planet, but you had a side job of finding some lost engineers. You also had to sorta work a through a maze of proximity mines. In the end however, you confront the big boss. And you are left with another huge decision.

In the end you get the achivement, and the choice of 6 (well 5 to be exact, 2 of the choices are the same but one is a paragon way of asking and the other is a renegade way. But you got the choice between a Omni-tool, Quarian Armor, Light, Medium, or Heavy Human Armor.


IMO, this add-on is worth the points. But I wouldn't give it a try unless you're on your second play through, or your just wrapping up all space traveling in your first.

Mr Regal 03-26-2008 02:50 PM

Playing my second playthrough now (predominantly to reach the point where I can play the downloadable mission) and enjoying it with all my kick ass armour and the like, should really have put it on a harder difficulty level....but i pussed out.

The Genius 07-06-2008 09:39 PM

i got this game for xmas and played bits and pieces here and there and just finally beat it today. i am downloading the Bring Down the Sky mission right now and will give that a play thru.
