I would like to politely defend the Mass Effect games, so fucking listen to me.

If youve played the Mass Effect games, and finished 3, then you should know that in the end the universe changes, and not just in a small way. The core plot of ME, dealing with the Reapers, is concluded, but the by-product of that is that the universe is changed, permanently. So yes, there will be more ME games, but, they will not be ME in the sense we know right now. As a franchise, the game is over, but as a universe, a universe where mass effect fields exist, and biotics exist, and element zero exist, that is still around, and will probably still be used. Simply put, the writers and creators spent a lot of time coming up with this incredibly well made universe, so why not use it for more? Why throw away this rich lore? Just add time, and make more in the same universe.

The comparison to Seinfeld is not a good one because without Jerry Seinfeld, the show would not work. The whole show was built around that central character. The network couldnt just bring in another character with that last name because the whole reason for the show to exist wouldnt be there anymore. With ME, its not about the central character anymore. It may have started out that way, but Shepard isnt really important anymore. Creating a new character and using the same universe would work perfectly fine because the universe is now strong enough to work with other protagonists. The argument also work for Halo in a way because the universe has been built up quite a bit, but it falls apart since Master Chief is still the protagonist.

As for Star Wars, what if the EU stuff werent bad? Would you still feel the same way?

Im done, now FUCK OFF.

Heres a link for the PC specs, and some screenshots. The most interesting thing in the whole page is the fact that the game is 35 gigs. What the fuck is in the game?

@Deathmachine117: Taking down the banshee is definitely the most difficult aspect in multiplayer. The one strategy that has worked for me is using a class with warp, mine being the Asari Adept. Hit her with two warps when shes doing her biotic jump move and you take the barriers down, and after that just keep warping here and shooting her, which takes down the armor fairly fast. It only works if you have one banshee though. Two or more and that strategy falls on its ass if youre alone. Warp has the advantage of being a power that can cause a biotic explosion, so hit her with warp and then with some other biotic power, like throw or something and that causes a biotic explosion which does high damage. Throw is also useful because if you have the barriers down, it will stagger them a bit, giving you the chance to zoom in and shoot her in her fucking face.

The class that ive found to be the most useful to me is the Asari Adept, or the Asari Vangaurd. Both classes have the stasis power, which will freeze most enemies, allowing you to shoot her to your hearts content, and also does damage when stasis wears off. A good idea is to have an infiltrator alongside or a sniper rifle with you, stasis the enemy, and shoot em in their faces. Works great. The number of times ive saved my team by hitting a phantom, engineer or rocked geth with stasis are too high to count.

@pyrodactyl: Go here http://social.bioware.com/project/4373/#files

That should help...maybe.

@Bourbon_Warrior: Bioware has said that they arent going to change the ending, they are just going to add stuff that explains shit. The ending is going to stay as it is. http://i.imgur.com/eMYVd.jpg

Its a screenshot of the ME twitter replying to a question about changing the ending.

As for the ending itself, I was disappointed, extremely disappointed, but the ending is what it is. If you liked it more power to you.

@ptys: I agree. The ending was victorious and uplifting.

@aCatslapper: If you have tali and garrus alive, then, just before the final act where you go to the cerberus HQ, you can go to the room where garrus hangs out and you see that tali and garrus have hooked up. Theres a happy little scene that plays out between the two. It made me not want to play the game with the character who romanced Tali.

@Swoxx: @mosdl: I could set one up for 5 PM West coast for tomorrow, or you could set it up. We should try Gold again.

@Swoxx: Yer damned right we did, yes siree bobby.

What system are you on? I had those problems a few times, but I always got my credits back.

Also, 180,000 points?? O.O

What teh fucking fuck?
