Mass Effect 3 (expect spoilers for the entire series)

[Agent D.]

Anxiously awaiting that statue of garrus being made on the presidium.

Quick edit: I'm watching t.v. right now, but I wanna play some multiplayer if anyone's interested. First reply here for multiplayer, and'I'll sprint to my xblox.

Jane Shepard is an accomplished shot. I also figured taking the shot would open up for more showmanship and stuff.

Yeah, I can see it being a closer competition if Shepard is also a sniper or otherwise that good with a gun. Mine are vanguards and are more about the biotics, so Garrus would win that little competition easily. My current Shep wouldn't mind a tiebreaker will miss on purpose since the last one took the shot. =P

Anyway. Won't be home for a while and should probably focus on single player.

"It's a good thing you're so good at shooting bottles, Vakarian. I hope you'll be around when the bottles revolt."

I laughed so hard I peed a little at that line.

Is no one else a sniper? I love being a sniper/biotic combo and pick off the distant enemies while Garrus and James/Javik do the dirty work up close (for some reason Garrus never uses his sniper rifle).

You know you can manually select his weapon right? Also, sniping in mass effect is a bit of a chore, it's not often your enemies are far away enough to warrant use of a sniper rifle, and the weight of the good ones can hamper your power use a great deal. If you want a good rifle for sniping and close range, try the saber assault rifle. It's viciously strong and accurate, for an assault rifle, and give it a scope to make it a ranged nightmare for opposition.

Vanguard sniper, right here. I pick at them from a distance then switch to a shotty or pistol when I need to close.

Sniping is easy and awesome in ME

anyone ever have problems w/ some of the side quests either not popping up on the map or not being counted as completed after they were?

[kyuusei]

Yeah the journal isn't as useful this time around. It doesn't tell you when you've completed something. All I do is scan the hell out of all the star systems until the Reapers literally chase me away, and go to the Citadel, checking my map in each area to see if I picked up anything for anyone. Gotten a lot of war assets and credits these last few days.

[Yoda]

I 100%ed all the systems that can be 100%ed... I guess all that's left is the final push. I'll bring the readiness back up to 100% tonight before that. I guess I might as well spend all my cash, upgrade all the weapons, get the spectre guns, etc. Get the goldfish too. Is there a space hamster?!

I got that bittersweet feeling... Like when you were set to graduate HS and you knew you'd never see most of those people again.

[DPB]

Check where Jack used to hang around in ME2, you might have to wait a few seconds too.

And here I figured he just liked his particle beam. :(  I like the power of the sniper rifle, and with Garrus and James raising hell, I usually have time to aim and blow off someone's head in 1-2 shots. Level 5 Valiant wasn't too heavy, had great damage and 3 shots at a time. I might give Saber rifle a go when/if I replay the game. I didn't like the low accuracy of most rifles (and a lot of them were massively heavy).

I hardly ever close though - pretty much did sniper rifle the whole game. If something gets close, I throw a Warp or Singularity at it and run screaming until Garrus takes it out for me :p

[Agent D.]

You, sir, need to experience vanguard.

Thanks!

I miss that little guy

I loved the ending and personally I don't understand the damn fuss. I personally like what they did instead of want everyone seems to want. It's artistic, it's pure sci-fi, and it's a great conclusion to what the story is mainly about: evolutionary cycles.

It's not totally unique and fits in with some other similar stories

battlestar galactica, star control 2, babylon 5, isaac asimov's foundation

But I'm glad the choices made in all the games weren't paraded out endlessly like  "NICE JOB SHEPAD," said the Rachni queen

My grippes were what I finished the game late... i wish there was some way to review the choices at the end before making them.

I chose:

the middle option, combining organics and synths and blowing up the relays.

I'm curious as all hell to see what the next game in the series is...because while I haven't seen all the endings I imagine they repercussions are really different.


I'm not one for replaying stuff but I see you can restart the end mission. I'd do that but I don't want to overwrite the path I took.
