Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 In Mass Effect 3, an ancient alien race known only as Reapers, has launched an all-out invasion of the galaxy, leaving nothing but a trail of destruction in their wake. Earth has been taken, the galaxy is on the verge of total annihilation, and you are the only one who can stop them. The price of failure is extinction. You, as Commander Shepard, must lead the counter assault to take it back. Only you can determine how events will play out, which planets you will save from annihilation and which alliances you will form or abandon as you rally the forces of the galaxy to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all.Battle with your comrades or even your own friends in this all-out galactic war to take Earth back. With co-op online multiplayer missions new to the Mass Effect universe , you can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as you all fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control in this third entry of the epic intergalactic RPG franchise.

ILUVAdrianaLima Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Not since the days of Final Fantasy 7 have I been so inclined to take up a video game....ME3 might get me back into the whole video game play once again. Sides, working from home now gives me more flexibility for such the case scenario above And If I might add, amazing trailer (Y) Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 I'm thrilled that ME is having that effect on you! Play the first 2!You wont get the right feeling if you start from 3! Quote
ILUVAdrianaLima Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Oh more then likely I shall. I must integrate the whole storyline in the proper order Question is...should I purchase the game for the Xbox or PlayStation 3 platform? I've been so out of the loop with video game consoles over the years I just don't know what direction to head in. Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 I actually prefer it on PC, most people do. Steam has the first 2 for 20 bucks each.but if you *have* to play on a console then Xbox 360 in a far lead. Quote
ILUVAdrianaLima Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Ah thx for the advice on that, should save me a crap load of money Any particular accessories I might need or recommend if I go the PC route? Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 Just a good mouse and keyboard http://store.steampowered.com/ Quote
ILUVAdrianaLima Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Sweet, I'm set for the most part then...time to whip out the credit card now Thx for the help OI Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 I really hope you enjoy it! It's such a great action RPG! and I hope you like Aliens Quote
ILUVAdrianaLima Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I do love my aliens I admit No doubt I shall enjoy ME. And I can't wait to see how it stacks up against my all time fav RPG Final Fantasy 7 Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 My fave FF was 8. But Bioware does make the best games right now! Quote
donbot Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I just finished ME3. I seriously cannot believe they did that, with the "three" endings.. I mean, really? So, everything up until that point matters for jack, and the most important decision you end up making - the culmination of everything you've been working towards - is "what colour would you like the swirly bits of the cutscene to be?" :| How deflating. Shame too, because the game was amazing for the most part. I loved the resolution of the character story arcs - most notably Thane's and Mordin's I also cannot believe that Javik was a DLC character. That was completely exploitative of people's love and investment in the series, and a pretty despicable move on EA/Bioware's part. He's a massive part of the lore, and leaving him out of the 'vanilla' experience is lame. I really enjoyed his character anyhow, and his interactions with the others. I had him in my squad for almost all the missions (Y) Combat was even more refined than ME2, and I think they found a happy medium with the inventory system, between ME1's cumbersome and ME2's oversimplified efforts. Also, EDI sexbot but if you *have* to play on a console then Xbox 360 in a far lead. Why do you say that? Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 The game was flawless until the end. I've never cried over a game so much in my life. The xbox controller is more refined for the type of gameplay imo. But I do concede that it is a matter of choice. But like I said, I prefer the PC and the majority of the players use it on PC as well Quote
donbot Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 ^Oh, so just because of the controller then <_< Yeah, PC FTW though.. although my only real gripe with the gameplay was how they insist on their Spacebar = do everything philosophy. It's not new for the series, but it was more problematic in ME3 because they complicated the cover system and also added the evasive rolls. I mean geez Bioware, we have more than one button to spare :persuazn: Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 and the Kinect but yeah omg...how many times did I do a damn barrel roll when just trying to run! like every time. Who was your favorite romance option? Mine was Liara and Garrus (no I can't choose, I am in a polyamorous relationship with both) I would have loved to romance Jack but she was unavailable for Fem Shep Quote
ILUVAdrianaLima Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 ^ MUST NOT READ TOPIC.....SPOILER ALERT Quote
