    Failed the Thane mission on my first run through with ME2. Felt really stupid...or is this one really that hard?

    Just finished the game and I actually loved the ending. I went with the road in the middle. It was epic, very explanatory, and satisfying. I did check out the other endings on youtube and they're not as good, still nothing wrong with them... I've been reading the complaints and I just don't get it. One of the best games I ever played!

    The recruitment or the loyalty one?

    The Loyalty one can be tricky at times.

    Loyalty. I might retry tonight if my last save isn't too far back.

    I failed it the first time, too. Just watch the krogan like he says. I tried to watch the turian the first time and got a bit lost.

    Currently on my second playthrough of ME2 and gaaaaah I need more paragon points. Morinth rolled me like a... thing that you roll. Sigh. I talk to people and everything! Maybe I just should have done the loyalty quests in order or something.

    Well the new content is out, Firebase Condor is convoluted as hell, but Firebase Hydra is quite awesome. You have to unlock the extra characters and weapons as part of a Recruit/Veteran/Spectre pack unfortunately.

    Yeah but if they gave them out unlocked already then everyone would use them.

    I love Mass Effect 3 to death but I swear to God if my achievement progress gets wiped one more time I'll go berserk. Two times now progress towards the veteran achievement has been reset. That's the achievement to get 5000 kills. First time it happened I had about 2600 or so. When it got erased this morning I was around 3760 or so.

    Fucking a man.

    I agree they should have been released and been able to be used straight away but I find it odd they would do that since all non-human characters had to be playable in the same way the DLC characters are - through the store. I just wish you got good stuff when you go there. I tend to buy Spectre Packs and Veteran packs. Every time, except twice, I get shafted by buying a Spectre. Don't buy one of those unless you want a new weapon. That's usually all you ever seem to get.

    I really want a Geth or that Krogan Battlemaster....

    I've so far played ME3 for a total of 25 minutes and got like 30 kills in one round before having to start work. Hit Level 7 after the round finished. Played with a guy that was some obscene level that was talking about 'playing every map at least 100 times.' Then I asked if he slept alone and the other 2 guys in the room wouldn't stop laughing.

    My N7 rank is at like 170 some I believe. It only deals with ranks you've earned or promoted cumulatively since you began playing it. I don't even play it that much. Highest N7 rank I've seen was about 600 something. I can't recall.

    How do you like the single player?

    I know you're busy as stated previously. I thought the 25 minute thing just meant multiplayer. Not the totality to the entire game.

    Well while they had the Premium Spectre Pack(99K-Credits) over the weekend, I whored the hell out of Gold matches to buy as many as I could, and still only got character training tiles and other shit I didn't want.
    So now, since I have so many weapons and mods unlocked, it'll probably take forever for me to unlock the six new characters and weapons. Groan.

    No that's it. Tomorrow I don't work until 3pm so once I get some coding done and drop the better half off at class I might be able to sink in a bit more time.

    I just beat this a few minutes ago (finally). I loved it. I don't know if my opinion of the end will change over time, but this game is one of the only games I have ever had an emotional response s strongly toward. I was almost in tears at the end, I felt like it was a fantastic culmination to the 120ish hour playthrough of all three games I have had going over the past few months.

    I'm about 30 hours into a hardcore playthrough of the first game. SHIT'S HARD, YO! Pinnacle Station was a bit of a pain to get through but gods, the sense of progress when you get there. Still haven't managed to finish Ahern's survival mission, though. Gonna go back when I'm a higher level.

    I have a funny feeling I'll probably start my third playthrough the second I finish ME3 with my current FemShep. I'd forgotten how damn much I loved these games.

    Alright so finally got some time to play multiplayer for a few hours. Turns out if you rock the shotgun and just toss frags like pebbles you wreck mad shit. In a few hours I got one game from hitting level 20 with the human male. Here's a question for those who may know. At what point should I jump in to the campaign? I have all those terminus stations on that galaxy map to 100% and at level 20 you can upload a character or something in to the campaign? Once I hit level 20 with one character with all those systems at 100% should I jump in or is there any benefit of maxing out more characters? What exactly does it do for the campaign?

    Alright that was a lot of questions, but you know how it is.

    Galactic Readiness is pretty just just a modifer. The higher the better. Even if you don't play multiplayer, and collect all of the war assets, you can still reach maximum. But, by playing multiplayer, it just makes things a little easier/quicker instead of getting getting the default 50%. I beat the game before I had even bothered with the multiplayer, and managed just fine.

    But then again... Spoiler: not like any of it really makes a difference.

    But if you do as many side-quests as you can, you really don't need to bother with multiplayer.

    Just got one with the demo for Mass Effect 2 and I was pretty impressed. I love how intricate the fighting system is and how there are a lot of different approaches you can choose with the abilities of your other teammates and choosing what you want to find out and the information that you may need to know down the road. Love that it is only 20 bucks on PSN. I'll have to get the actual game since downloading it is a whopping 12 gigs.

    New 'Rebellion' DLC drops soon, does it not? I've already traded ME3 back in towards Borderlands 2, but the new DLC is free which is still a great thing. Also, fan designs character hoodies, asks BioWare to make them, they agree to try it out. Pretty nifty.

    Director's Cut DLC on Tuesday. Hopefully it fixes that mess they made. My expectations are pretty low though...

    I'm just looking forward to being able to say I've properly cleared the franchise. It'll be good to play through again from scratch with my original Shep and see how it all gets tidied up in the end (or not, as the case may be).

    Just wonder if it's just just extended cutscenes, or if there's any new gameplay in there. I just wonder how extended it's gonna be. Hopefully it's extended by a lot. It needs it.
