Re: Mass Effect 3

They fixed their EMS error. You now need 3100 to get everything. No more multiplayer or editing required. Seems too low now actually.

This is one of the things that they have done right. It should have always been like this, no MP requirement, and relatively easy to get the the best endings. A large portion of the Bioware gaming public don't have a Ninja Gaiden or a Diablo mindset, they play these games for a different reason.

Re: Mass Effect 3

I don't think it should be easy but agree with no MP. Someone that's played for 3 games and worked hard should get it,yes. Someone that just jumped in at 3...I dunno.

if the catalyst was the citadel the entire time, there was no need for sovereign to even exist. at least with the information that is given.

I guess I still wait and see what the extended cut offers, I just don't really seeing it clearing up a lot of the concerns some people have. if only EA would have let them work and not put them on such a tight deadline, most of this ending stuff wouldn't have be an issue.

Spoiler

That's not a given. The vanguard (Sovereign), could be the one who awakens the catalyst.

Very well put thank you.

I have been a fan of this whole story from the very beginning. I just dont play multi player. Its not for me at all. I do not like playing with people I dont know. I prefer a single player campaign and I always have.

I think its a great thing that all of these games have put in multi player. Having a game that appeals to everybody is a good thing. If you like playing with other people and setting up teams or guilds or gangs, great have fun and enjoy. But if a game has been mainly a single player experience then I think it is crossing a line to force multi player on people to be able to get the best ending.

I had shelved Mass Effect 3 in the hope that this would be one of the fixes. Now I am excited to play this as I have been all of the other games. I hope I dont hate the ending like so many people. But for me it has been a great ride and one I am almost certain I will take again.

especially since they specifically stated pre-release that no MP was going to be needed to get all the endings.

Re: Mass Effect 3

So I spoiled myself and watched the ending I chose, control, on youtube. It's much better now and explains a lot more. I wanted to see if it is worth it to play through again to see the other endings. Based off that ending, I would say yes because I stopped myself from watching any of the other endings.

I am glad they fixed these endings.

Re: Mass Effect 3

So...............

Spoiler

The relays went from being destroyed just to badly damage but still working..........Which allowed all the species to go back to their home world. Hmmm....ok.

Re: Mass Effect 3

I'm not sure to go for destroy again or the new option.

Spoiler

Does Shep live if you pick the new option?

[LambertandHam]

Re: Mass Effect 3

The new endings were pretty good. Ended up

Spoiler

picking Destroy. The Normandy pickup scene with Shepard and Tali after getting blasted by Harbinger was also nicely done. Only downer for me was I wanted to play/visit the stuff the slides were showing.

Spoiler

No, they don't show it, but everybody dies, and the reapers win again during this cycle

Spoiler

but information is passed on for the next generation of organics, so that they can finally defeat the reapers.

I'm pretty satisfied. It won't come out, but EA rushing the release seems to be the only logical reason why they didn't flesh out all these ending before. For them not to do have done it this way the first time is completely nonsensical otherwise.

Re: Mass Effect 3

Yea. I don't know what the hell EA was thinking on the first go around. I don't know if they ran out of time, money, or what.

But, the EC did just what I hoped it would do. Restore my faith in Bioware moving forward.

I still thought the relays were destroyed? From the video I saw on YT, I thought Adm. Hackett said to the fleet something to the effect of The Crucible was armed and to get the hell out of there. All of the ships took off at that point prior to the relays being destroyed. I guess I'll have watch it again.

Yeah, they did get out of there right as the Crucible was firing.

I chose to Control still just to see what happened with what I picked the first time.

Spoiler

I didn't mind the ending anyway, but the extended cut made it much better. Definitely gives it more leverage as my favorite game this year, and I am more excited to do my second playthrough with my other character now. At first I thought Shepard was going to say that he understood why the Reapers would want to kill humans with the way he started talking.
