This thread infuriates me. If Kalyx was one of my real life friends and this thread was identical to a discussion we were having with him in real life about Mass Effect, I would end it by punching him in the face, thereby ending both the argument and our friendship in one swift blow right to the eye and/or nose.

If you've got a decent PC, always the PC version.
Mass Effect 2 on max looked better than the new engined PS3 version and ME3 is sure to be stunning. It's not like there's an online component so you have to pick what friends are playing what version. |

Just reread this whole thread. Gonna be joining Fig, Req and Baird on the whole "start from 1" dealio. You really can't afford to miss out on the First series. You make so many decisions in that game that carry over, nevermind just the main storyline big ending decision (which has galactic level ramifications in 2). Your decisions determine if people are alive or dead.
There are so many well written little moments in ME. Complements the overall good ass story so beautifully. The best part is that despite all these great (and actually well executed) concepts, the gameplay is fucking fantastic. It stands up well with shooters coming out now. |

Agreed. I beat ME1 and have just started ME2. Love the carryover of the story.

Love this series, even more than the Half Life series.
Bought both games for the girlfriend and she flatly won't play them. Says that she doesn't like the way i described Ashley Williams as 'quite hot'. I think it's a poor excuse while she plays Just Cause for the 80th time. |

Bioware has recruited DICE to help work on Mass Effect 3 and as usual DICE is going to be involved in the shooting aspect of the game. They are also being used for help in environmental details and audio work as well.

First screens are out. They don't reveal much besides it looks nice as always and you'll be shooting it out with Cerberus at some point.

EA and Bioware announce the game is now delayed from a late 2011 release date to now an early 2012 release or between January and March 2012.
Bioware is saying the delay is so that the team can have more time to finish and polish the game but most likely EA doesn't want it to be competing against Battlefield 3. Bioware did release some new screens as a sort of an "apology" for the delay. Update: Another reason for the delay could be due to EA wanting the game to be on a "handheld/mobile" device based on some information released by EA in their yearly financial report. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...hots-released/ Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 05-04-2011 at 07:19 PM. |

I'm a casual gamer so I figure L.A. Noire, Homefront, and Battlefields 1 & 2 should be enough to hold me over until the new Assassin's Creed is supposed to come out in November (finger's crossed). Then... hopefully that game will keep me preoccupied until Mass Effect 3.

Mass Effect 3 will have the ability to have same-sex relationships for both the make and female version of Shepard.

Not sure if Mass Effect 1 had it available for both genders but I know Mass Effect 2 didn't allow it to be possible with the male version of Shepard. http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...-Mass-Effect-3 |

It's always been hetero or lezzy. It doesn't really matter though. If you don't want him to be gay, just don't do the gay stuff. That's the beauty of these Bioware games.
You get the option to do gay stuff in Dragon Age too, but you don't have to. |

The rumored possibility of some sort of multiplayer for the game appears to be a reality with a few leaks and sources saying the game is set to have a 4 player co-op for a Horde type of game mode.
Another source mentioned that currently Bioware is currently working on an actual multiplayer part for the game but are leaning on making it either as a DLC type or stand-alone title instead of packaged with the rest of the game. Currently Bioware has DICE helping them out on the shooting and physics aspect of the game but it would not be a surprise if DICE convinced Bioware to add online multiplayer or are helping them out with the potential multiplayer aspect of the game. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-mass-effect-3 |

I don't know how I feel about this, while I love horde game modes, Mass Effect doesn't need multiplayer.

According to the executive producer involved with the game's development, the PS3 will be getting a gimped version of the game in terms of content in comparison to the Xbox 360 and PC versions.
The Xbox 360 and PC versions were hinted to be having a special mode or feature involving game saves that stretched back to the first game in the series as a reward to the fans of the series. The PS3 will not be getting this treat due to never having ME 1 and the comic was only meant as a filler for the story and quick generator of stats for Mass Effect 2 on the PS3. Also revealed is while the Xbox 360 version is getting Kinect controls for voice commands, no Move or headset voice controls will be done to the PS3 version. http://gaming247.eu/2011/06/17/ps3-v...ay-be-lacking/ |

...Which is probably their biggest fear in real life, too. Anyway, the interviews I've seen in mags of late seem to shoot down MP, but since they're basically just making the game a shooter, it seems dumb to complain about adding shooter modes. ...We've already got a more linear game with less colour and exploration, why not just make it brown and throw in horde? ...Aaaaaand cue the whining that it's not a shooter in a retarded case of fanboy stockholm syndrome! |

Some new details from Gamescom with new mini-games, Cerberus Network will be a villian regardless of their status in a player's save file, and no chance of an SDK being released for modding or making games from the engine on PC.

It will probably depend on the choices you make during the game.
That's not meant to be as obnoxious or pretentious as it reads. I just really hope there isn't a canned ending for him. |

Pretty sure the parents who care enough can monitor what kind of stuff their kids play and/or limit games to E-T if they don't want them playing inappropriate ("M" rated) content if they are under 17.
Granted, unfortunately most parents probably aren't responsible enough or knowledgable enough about how to enable/disable such settings (soooo easy...) and/or monitor what their kids play anyway, so it's probably a moot point. But I figured I might as well just throw that out there anyway. |
