Mass Effect 3

[QUOTE="SkyWard20"]

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVwcXvgshUQ Why do they all look the same size then?GeneralShowzer

You're using a three second clip to back up your point, Showzer. That's not fair play, and you're losing your touch.

Plus it looks like they come in different shapes.

I don't think you'll get to see wildly different models from a clip that lasts about a couple of seconds, like the above poster said.

It stands to reason that some will look more similar to one another, while others won't. It gives the developers opportunity to experiment with different reaper concepts. Would be boring if you'd have to fight the same kind of reaper over and over, during the whole series' lifetime now, wouldn't it?

[QUOTE="N7v1K0"]

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] I don't know, I didn't really over-analyze anything, just saw a short trailer, it just seemed weird that the combined forces couldn't kill one reaper, but now you're shooting at it.GeneralShowzer

Then why should you be making a big deal over it? :/

And I'm pointing out that you're wrong. You can't make serious judgements without any background info on something you see for the first time for like 2 minutes

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVwcXvgshUQ Why do they all look the same size then?GeneralShowzer

So I'm going to go with what Bioware has stated on this one for Mass Effect 3, not Mass Effect 2.

The Reaperss were always meant to be mysterious, and in the final game we will get to know more information about them, and see for a fact they are not all clearly the same size.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="Avian005"]Because they reused the model of Harbinger for the Reapers closer to the screen to save time. That's why. Also, can you prove all of the Reapers in the background are the same size? No.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] I didn't make a big deal out of it, you did. I'm just pointing out the series is not very consistent. The universe is interesting, but the whole reaper thing is dumb.GeneralShowzer

And I'm pointing out that you're wrong. You can't make serious judgements without any background info on something you see for the first time for like 2 minutes

You don't even see the majority of them in the end.

And what has the process of creating the core have anything to do with the size of the shell?

[QUOTE="Avian005"]

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] They are making this **** up as they go along, that's why. They didn't even know what to do in ME2, that's why the game almost had no storyline and you did stuff not connected to big picture of the series.GeneralShowzer

If something is inconsistent then prove it.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="Avian005"]Everyone does this. They come up with a story-line, and add stuff in as they go a long. How is it inconsistent? When did either game ever mention every Reaper is the exact same thing, the exact same size, etc? I don't think they did, and at the end of ME2 you cannot tell whether or not the Reaper all look like they're the same size, considering the they have different patterns on their outer shells. The Reapers were always meant to be mysterious, and in the final game we will get to know more information about them, and see for a fact they are not all clearly the same size.

> Suddenly they come in different sizes and can be killed with ordinary guns

> Sheppard is gay

> The way weapons work changes in every sequel

> Ashley looks exactly like Miranda

It's stupid, just think about the entire thing for a minute. These things come every 50 000 years to kill out every advanced species, select one of those, turn them into fluid and make another reaper, then they eradicate every trace of their existence, doesn't this seem stupid to you ? Who the hell thought of this? These things can't destory earth, and you're taking potshots at them from ruined buildings, and yet every previous 50 000 years, they needed to kill off thousands of planets, colonies, of hundreds of species.

Mass Effect 3 might have multiplayer, guys.

That may have been the reason for the 2012 delay.

Additionally, our source also detailed some parts of the multiplayer campaign. Here's what we've been told:

• The game will feature a Horde st yle multiplayer mode with "crap loads" of maps.
• It will also have the regular modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.
• The Horde mode will have objectives like Capture The Flag, King of the Hill, and simple shoot-to-kill 'waves' as well.
• Up to four players can play cooperatively in the Horde mode.
• Maps are "fairly small" but well designed.
• Players can choose from 6 different cla sses, or use a prebuilt one's. Our source didn't confirm what those cl asses were, but we reckon all those from ME2 will be present.
• There will be a level cap of 60.
• Some of the enemies were confirmed as well: Geth, Marauders, Husks, and a new enemy type called Brutes. The source described them as insanely "huge ass".
• The game will also feature a 'multiplayer store'. The store will carry upgrades for weapons, etc. and other items.
• Players will be able to buy said upgrades and items by earning in-game money based on their performance in the multiplayer. Our source wasn't sure if the in-game money can be earned via the single player campaign as well, "but I doubt it. Seems like the (singleplayer and multiplayer) modes will be separate."

I'm really hoping this isn't true.

1. You dont see the whole fleet, just a few. And no.
2. People have been asking for this. If FemShep can be lesbian why cant MaleShep be gay?
3. It changed from ME1 into ME2 with the thermal-clips, and the time passed can account for that, but what about ME2 to ME3? The ammo system is still the same.
4. No.
5. And what's so stupid about that?

Huh. They said in Gameinformer that it won't have any MP. Oh well we'll find out in the coming months for sure

[QUOTE="Avian005"]

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] If you plan to make a triology, then there needs to be more consistency. Mass Effect ended in a cliffhanger, and Mass Effect 2 ended in the same cliffhanger. The reaper thing got even more stupid, and now it's getting worse. Why didn't they just use the universe to tell a good story, rather than this ancient evil prophecy whatever. The whole thing doesn't make a shred of sense.GeneralShowzer

• Suddenly they come in different sizesSomething we have just learned about an enemy we do not fully understand.
• And can be killed with ordinary guns Joker gave the finishing blow to Sovereign in ME1, but we haven't seen a Reaper diein ME3 yet.
• Shepard is gay And a player (who is gay can make a choice the agree with (in a way). The player is Shepard.
• The way weapons work changes in every sequelFor gameplay, to make it better, and weapons do change over time.
• Ashley looks exactly like Miranda No she doesn't. Sure, she wears a slim outfit, but Bioware is bring back squad customization.

These things come every 50 000 years to kill out every advanced species, select one of those (we don't know that), turn them into fluid and make another Reaper, then they eradicate every trace of their existence, doesn't this seem stupid to you? Not yet, since I'm still learning more about the them.

Who the hell thought of this? Bioware, and they've done a good job so far.

|And can be killed with ordinary gunsJoker gave the finishing blow to Sovereign in ME1, but we haven't seen a Reaper diein ME3yet."

[spoiler] No, you gave the finishing blow. By killing Saren. The Sovereign mind was connected to Saren. When you killed Saren, the Sovereign died too. For someone who tells me to pay attention, you sure haven't. [/spoiler]

Shepard is gay And a player (who is gay can make a choice the agree with (in a way).The player is Shepard.

You think too much of the series. There is a blue Sheppard and a Red Sheppard. That's about it.

Ashley looks like a completely different person because they wanted more sex appeal, and you don't change technology twice in a matter of month.

Series is inconsistent. Reaper plot thread is stupid. And this argument is really tiresome.

I think too much? No. I play the game the way I want play it, as many others do. The canon Shepard isn't gay of course, but the player may be, and they play Shepard in the way they see fit. You know, that's part of being an RPG.

Other than the hair and suit, she looks same.

1. What you can see they all look the same 2. Because it's inconsistent with the previous games 3. What period of time, a few month? And that was enough to go from care free, unlimited ammo, to ammo clips? Then in the third game you have the omni tool, which is like a personal holographic panel, and you can stab people with it,wut? 4. Yes, Ahsley was a totally different character, now they dolled her up pretty good, she looks like another Miranda. 5. Because it's stupid and the series fall appart with the reapers. Everything else works, but the reapers really don't fit. It's the cliche Bioware uses in every game "an ancient evil awakens", but they ***** it up pretty bad in this series.GeneralShowzer

1. What we see of them isn't much. Just a few in a fleet of thousands, if not more. It's like saying all humans look the same after seeing 10.
2. No. Infact, it works quite well with a Shepard who didn't romance anyone in the previous games
3. 2 years actually. And also, in ME2 Kasumi had pretty much the same power with her omni-tool, so once again the 2 year period would've been when the tech was developed
4. So you're saying that if you got a new haircut and wore different clothes you wouldn't be the same person?\
5. No

This thread....
Typical SW.

I don't think It will ever end to amaze me how people are short sighted and as a consequence discuss if ME3 (and ME2) are RPGs or not.
.
Anyway, the game os looking great, the gameplay on Earth with the reapar landing right infront of you was outstanding. I hope to see some more new announcements today, especially concerning ME2's teammates.

[QUOTE="Arach666"] In my book? Was I the one pulling scores to this discussion?Arach666

But nice try mate,I liked how you tried to use another dev to "protect" you beloved bioware. ;)

[QUOTE="dreman999"]

[QUOTE="Arach666"] Haha ,oh wow. WOW Starcraft Diablo Games so perfected people play religiously for years. All completely different from each other. Bioware only knows how to make party based RPGs, completely forgettable if it wasn't for the writers. And Blizzard even beats them in that department with Warcraft 3. Arach666

No. Some of Bioware's games lived on thanks to mod support. Diablo II and Starcraft we're played by their own merits.

Really doubt you can force yourself to play Mass Effect for years. The sidequests are all the same, and the storyline gets really old. I give you 60-70 hours with it until you never want to see it again.

Hmm, I hear EA is in talks with MS to bring Master Chief in to replace Shepard exclusively for the 360 version :o making the jump from RPG to shooter complete. :shock:

I dunno, still high on my list but ME3 has fallen a bit for me but I shall do the wait & see and after I complete it a few times then I'll decide just how well Bio did with this one. :P

[QUOTE="dreman999"][QUOTE="Arach666"] Sure,and ME2 as well,but since this particular discussion isn´t about RDR or Rockstar,that´s very much irrelevant. But since scores were already mentioned before,at least SC2 scored a 9.5 like RDR,unlike ME2.

All i want is that Bioware to take its time instead of creating a rushed RPG as they did with DA II. Overusing sameenvironments was a total letdown. Anyway, for Mass effect 3, from i've seen so far is NO improvements in graphic (Which is not cool) and the combat was looking complex but anyway we cant find that for sure until we try it for ourselves. Mass effect 2 was my all-time fav RPG hope this one has potential to beat it.
