Mass Effect 3

There were a lot of great things about ME1 that changed dramatically in ME2. I contend that they're both fantastic games, but ME2 was just far more polished and had a greater variation in environments.

I agree although to be honest and i'm probably the minority here, i'd take driving the mako over mining planets.

They were both boring and repetitive in their own ways. Mining was terrible prior to the upgrade where your targeting moved faster. Shit took forever.

At least with the mako i got the satisfaction of running over Geth or shooting a thresher maw.

Yeah that side stuff can easily be skipped for the most part.

There were a few cool missions like the one where you dock the disabled ship, but otherwise meh.



Have to say reading the past couple pages, especially that article about Chobot, is super depressing.

Then again, I called it ages ago, the demise of Bioware is complete when this game releases. It'll be pretty good, lack some polish but won't meet the expectations fans from the beginning expect and deserve.

I suspect this is my final Bioware purchase, I've always been a massive fan of their work since the mid 90's PC games they made, but EA is cancer to game studios...it always goes this way. Star Wars will not deliver financially and it'll hurt future Bioware projects, no doubt about it.

I probably typed up three different responses to that part about Bioware, but I've come up with a blank. The one thing that I don't like is that EA has Bioware doing the next C&C Generals game (which is planned for console release as well.) I like that the game will have the Battlefield Frostbite engine, but why are they having Bioware do an RTS game?

Other than that, I think Bioware has been great, and I think will continue to be great. The Old Republic has so far done a great job, though I don't know the whole MMO market and how things will play out financially down the road for them.

Mass Effect Infiltraitor

The first details on Mass Effect's iOS expansion have been revealed. Mass Effect 3 Infiltrator is described as a companion app to Mass Effect 3 on consoles. Gamers that play the game will increase their "galactic readiness" in the console and PC release, thus increasing their odds of receiving the game's best ending.

From an EA PR pamphlet:

"Take the all-out galactic war in Mass Effect 3 on-the-go with Infiltrator, a fully-featured iOS third-person shooter showcasing stunning graphics and authentic weapons and powers from the Mass Effect series."

"Inspired by the deep and immersive Mass Effect 3 universe, in Infiltrator players will help to free prisoners from a hostile Cerberus base and will receive rewards for collecting evidence of Cerberus' crimes along the way. Every completed rescue and intelligence discovery in Infiltrator will increase a player's Galactic Readiness rating directly through the Galaxy at War system in Mass Effect 3."

No word on how gamers' Infiltrator progress will be shared with Mass Effect 3, although EA Origin integration seems like a safe bet. IGN will have more on Mass Effect Infiltrator soon.

I wonder if there will be micro-transaction style DLC you can buy that will increase your Galactic Readiness Rating.

just read some shit about some option where you get texts from the game about the galactic war in your game or some shit.

i'm not even going to link this garbage.


yes EA, I want my fucking video game to text me updates when I'm not playing it while you try and push some DLC down my throat.

LOL I mined planets for like 25 hours. I made sure every planet was sucked dry before I was done with it. No homo.

[SethMode]

Dead Space: Ignition. Mass Effect: Infiltrator. What's next in the long line of shitty EA add-ons to games that don't need them?

[JayDizzle]

You don't even need it for the best ending so why bother?

Plus the MP is completely optional toward game completion so there's still a shot your Shepard won't lose sleep if Extraction Team Alpha isn't beat Cerebus down somewhere.

I'd lose my shit over a .99 cent Auto-Fish Feeder though.

Thanks to a fucking awesome buddy of mine I am now in possession of a brand spanking new PS3 copy of ME2.

As soon as I finish the SOCOM 4 campaign I'll finally get to see what this shit all all about.

Yep, I need to clean my keyboard

WTF is it with EA and only developing apps for the iPhone? Not that I would really have any interest in this but you're telling me there isn't an android version? Just like their companion app for Madden. Last times I checked millions of people owned android phones. Stupid mfers.
