Mass Effect 3: Singleplayer and Multiplayer Discussion

Happy N7 day, guys(November 7th, GET IT?!?!). There's an upcoming DLC for the single-player, Omega I think it's called. I hear it has female Turians in it, haha. Also, what are your thoughts on the Mass Effect Trilogy collection?
 
N7...ah...ahaha...

Finally, we will get a DLC that's worth the money. If you can call paying for extra that's already on the disk worth it but it's starting to look like a solid buy.
If I can get enough money from selling my copies of ME I'll be buying it. I wish it had more DLC though, we are essentially buying the games again.
 
Well folks, Mass Effect 4 has been confirmed by Bioware. And not only that, but it's going to be run on the Frostbite engine, the engine Battlefield 3 uses. Thoughts?
 
FPS here we come. Dragon Age uses it too right?

Well if they're going to expand the Mass Effect universe, I want it with stunning visuals. I'm neutral about the change.
 
Personally I find the graphics in ME3 quite nice. I'm curious as to how the new engine will impact the game.

Like Delta I'm not really sure if I like it or not. Could be good, could be bad. I hope though that this isn't a sign that the roleplaying involved with Mass Effect will be put on the back burner. I know that using a certain engine doesn't mean the game's core features will change, but when you look at one of EA's hallmarks that uses the Frostbite Engine, Battlefield, you have to wonder if the game is taking a different turn (for the worse, imo).

We've always played shep when experiencing the Mass Effect universe [in singleplayer]... it's kind of weird to think that probably isn't happening in the new game...
 
From the interview I read, even Bioware hasn't really decided where the series is going to pick up at.

And I think if they can add a more competitive edge to the multiplayer while improving upon the main game we all know and love, then they'll have an even bigger success on their hands.
 
The Mass Effect multiplayer, to me, is like having a huge cake but a very small plate (Or small spoon, whichever imagery works best for you.).

It needs to expand and change if it wants to take on the multiplayer scene in the next game. You could potentially reach level 20 in a day. Although I suppose nothing much can be done if you want to introduce an RPG Shooter into a competitive scene. Look at Borderlands, nothing competitive about it there and it works wonders.
I'm wishing for ACTUAL co-op in the next game. 3 player co-op could work too. That would be fun for us ;]
 
Nice bump thar. ;]

If I had to pick a race, I'd probably shoot for forerunner Quarian. They seem so culturally unique from all of the other species, although Turians and Salarians come in at a close second. And btw, I tried the Omega DLC. It was fun, but short. Didn't really add anything to the experience.

For multiplayer, I'm currently breaking some faces with the new Turian classes and Krogan Shaman. I'd love to play some games again after i get my controller fixed.
 
Alrighty folks, it's high time all three of us set up a time to get together.

Difficulty?

We'll start off with one Bronze game, two Silvers, and then go for the Gold. Hopefully by the end of our time we will have conquered Platinum, but considering I will be on our team it's a safe bet we won't make it past Gold. Oh well, it's all in good fun.

If anyone has a better idea for warming up feel free to speak up. If anyone is the team captain it's Delta, I just started the thread. So Mr. English, please inform me of your ideas :3

And of course Jakey-poo is free to voice his opinion as well :D

As far as map and enemies, I don't think it really matters for bronze and silver, but maybe you two veterans should deliberate on the Gold map/enemies.

I don't know what class I'll be playing for Gold, but we should probably talk strategy about that as well, so we have some sort of synergy between us.
 
We can talk strategy and whatnot during the game; classes aren't too important as long as you utilize solid teamwork. The Gold Challenge will be something like Reapers (the easiest imo) on Firebase White or something like that. I'm going to start getting back into competitive multiplayer after a long time, so I'll let you guys know when I'm back up to speed. I'm really looking forward to having some games again!
 
Beat the game a few days ago. So many people died. Geth,Tali,Mordin,Anderson,Liara and the worst one Garrus. Still enjoyed the game a lot tbh. Does anyone know if the Wii U version is the same multiplayer as the ps3 and 360? Heard a rumor it had no co op. I'm hoping it is the same to be honest.
 
Peh, we can skip the Bronze. I can do that in my sleep.

As for strategy, like SL said, we can do that as we go along. Most of it is context sensitive stuff anyway. All I can say now is stick to cover and don't waste missiles.
What is important though is the races we choose. I find Cerberus to be the easiest and Reapers to be the hardest. But we can use the silver matches to decipher what we think is difficult. There was a great place to camp for the later difficulties on the Palevan, but they patched a back door.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm still using my N7 Phantom. When are we doing this? :]

._.

Mordin's death is inevitable, so it doesn't really count. I don't know if Anderson ACTUALLY died... because we dont know if he actually was shot, or if he actually ever went with shepard onto the citadel in the first place, or if shepard was ever on the citadel in the first place.... yeah... anyway, you must have messed up big time for Liara and Garrus to die. How did you manage to kill both the Geth AND Tali? Like seriously how terribly do you have to screw up to do that. XD

Just kidding, man, hope you had fun. :D

Classes don't matter if your names are Delta and Jake. On the off chance your name is Dakota, the class you choose matters because you can't kick ass with any old thing. :>
 
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, I just felt the need to post it as I got a chuckle out of it. I don't know if it's a spoiler though as I don't play Mass Effect, so just be warned that is has something to do with Miranda. Anyways, Awkward Zombie's latest, Mass Effect-related, comic.
 
That comic is #winning. Thanks for sharing.

Fair warning I guess: Don't click it if you really don't want anything spoiled.

P.S. I dislike the new PB font. :I
