One of the best series of this generation. I am one of the few who will say they liked Mass Effect 3 the most though.


Definitely, one of my favorite franchises ever. The trilogy was a must for me. What made you like ME3 more though? it lacked the RPG elements but it was more multiplayer/Gears of War-esque with a more linear story and Mass Effect powers sprinkled ontop. Was that why?


Story and shooting elements was better in my opinion.  Considering one of my favorite games is gears that really had no effect on me calling it gears.  However I feel it is nothing like gears either.

The thing is up til the last 5 minutes of ME3 i feel it was easily the best of the 3 but since many people liked the last 5 minutes people want to discredit the game.  Similar to what people do to games and movies that had a great ending yet everything before that was just ok.  


Nothing like Gears? The over the back camera feeling like the camera is right behind your back with the Gears of War melee and firing style the tight open to tight areas. I liked what I played, and yes Gears is one of my favorite franchises this gen as well, but I think the influence made it more of a multiplayer friendly game with the horde mode and all (which I am trying to get ready to start a group). It felt like your decisions had very little weight in the game when I played it, but I must finish it so we'll see.

Thanks for the input and I lowered my expectations just a tad until I can get all of the DLC and start part three all over again. Can't wait!

Yeah they have minor or cosmetic similarities but they also are extremely different at the core.

I played Mass Effect 2 first on PS3, then Mass Effect 1 on PC. Might get it for PS3 if it is on PSN (didn't know, thought it was only part of the trilogy set). Give me a chance to go through the game again at least, with higher specs than my PC could handle.

Although got kind of annoyed when trying to do the 'worst' ending in Mass Effect 3 with my character that is crap. He got all but 2 characters killed in Mass Effect 2 and then I didn't do any extra mission in ME3 to get a low military readiness but for some reason when it came to the 'choices' at the end I got really pissed off I was only given the option of Control, because I made the wrong choice in Mass Effect 2. I only know this because I had to look it up. 


The military readiness missions are pretty fun if you have friends. If you want to do it with me you can. I need all the partners I can get when I start part 3. I suggest we start a ME3 clan to get our readyiness up to 100%!

I did it on purpose. I have 4 characters, the one I used first before knowing the game so made decisions as I went (my character), an all good guy, all evil (perfect game) and a useless idiot, who did nothing but get people killed and make the wrong choices. I had to wait a long time to finish the last one's play through as my readiness was 100% from the Good and Evil playthroughs, so had to wait to get it down.

If ME1 is $15 on US PSN, probably £10 on UK PSN, well worth it.


Hell yeah its worth it. 40 hours of gameplay for $15 or less? So many memorable moments in that game. I can't wait to play ME3 to the finish, it felt like I was playing Mass Gear of War Effect 3. It felt like I was being dragged in a specific direction instead of choosing myself.

ME1 took me like 15-20 hours to finish. o.O I didn't 100% it, mind you

Yeah, the main storyline is about 15-20 hours. With all the exploration and extra missions it adds an extra 15-20 depending on how fast you get things done.

Don't you have a feeling that at some point in this marriage things will have a bad ending?


Not if she has a patch and new DLC to spice up the relationship.


By a patch you mean breast implants and facelift and DLC you mean a lover by the side to play the same thing but in different scenario?


LOL Miranda was my patch for Ashley in the second game. LOL ;) 

My bad man but you are speaking Chinese to me in here. lol I played ME2 demo and loved it but have not the chance to play the games, but I plan to. Gears, ME and Castle Crashers were the only games from Micro field which I always wanted to play, two franchises down, one to go.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I bought the trilogy on PS3 for 40 USD last December. That was a steal, in my opinion. I had already bought ME2, but my backlog kept me from getting ME3 early. I was about to get ME3 on disc but when I heard the first game was coming in physical form I decided to wait till it was sub 60 since I had already bought the second game. Don't regret the purchase! Great series, albeit ME2 is by far my favorite, followed by the first game. I'll have to play ME3 with all the DLC to see how it measures up to the first two entries.


So are you up for the multiplayer?


That's all I need to do now really. I'm up for it, but I'd have to start playing it again to take out some of the rust. You know ... I might start doing that this week. I want those awards. :)

I saw a post or two from people who didn't try the third game. Mass Effect 3 is dirt cheap for anybody who is interested. It is under 17 USD on Amazon now!

OMG I love how you can buff your armor and level up your character to wear certain armors. Seriously, this is an RPG! You feel like you've gone through character growth. This is truly the best RPG of the trilogy!
