*****THE OFFICIAL***** MASS EFFECT THREAD

This game has lasted me longer then any other consol game. like 20 hours to complete it all i was qutie hapy with that. Fable i cna complete in under 4 hours. I think it was 3 hours 47 min and thats with donig quite a few of the side quests. Obiously not all the demond doors etc.


One thing that really annoys me in mass effect is the amount of useless crap in it. Like al the differnt ammo types which i dont want or need and the really stupid design for looking through them. Everytime you deleate one it puts you back at the top of the list so it takes agesss. That really started to grate on me as i spent a lot of time going through trying to get rid of thinsg i didn't need to get them all again after a few battles.

That was very badly thought out, which is a shame.

I am very tempted to make a "Your mum" joke here.

But I will refrain.

:p

Yeah I agree with you there. I don't like the inventory system a great deal. Also the lifts annoy me loads.

Other than that, awesome game. I don't usually get hooked on games like this but I am loving it. I think it is really down to the fact that the storyline is so flexible based on your character and what you choose to say. I love it.

I'm quite surprised people (not just here) had problems with Benizia. On Insanity she and her cronies were easy, as a soldier and a biotic but as the latter you need to rely on your teammates more and their AI can be stupid in situations like that so they spend half their time dead.

The most lethal enemies in the game at insanity were Krogan Warlords. Bugger me, I've been in firefights with some of these gits for 10 minutes straight and lost. They use their full range of powers and if they keep using Immunity the fight can become lengthy.
 
Oh Benezia, It took me around 10 times on Hardcore, 1 time on normal
Insanes gonna take the .. :(

And I agree, those Krogan are some hard mofos when they charge at me, i use lift or throw ;D
 
benezia is the person who keeps summoning enermys and losses power right?

She took me quite a while because of the biotic people that she kept summoning kept freezing me on the stairs and i just wouldn't get up again. I think its a bug and id just be lying there untill i died. And it kept happening over and over again.

Also my team mates kept shooting at her even though she wasn't taking any damage which really annoyed me. But then i relised that if i turn to the right im behind her and then after that it was dead easy. Still seems a bit stupid to give your enermys a power which freezes you forever. Eitehr that or its a bug but they kept donig it to me over and over again.

I wouldn't mind so much if even half the serposid upgrades were worth while. But quite fankly there is only 1 or 2 differnt armour upgrades worth having and there is only 1 weapon upgrade you need and thats the bonus against synthetics. Why did they both adding all the others? Seems like the game was cut short or somethnig where perhaps tyou were ment to fight against more then robots. I know there are a few human/alien encounters but not enough to warrent all the useless upgrades.
 
read this thread with keen interest until there is mention of having to make a choice about killing off one of your characters - either ashley or kaiden at the nuke point and shooting wrex - cheers for that u numpties, keep it in the spoiler thread ffs :mad:

I posted a spoiler warning in my initial post on the matter.

I agree - I got my level to level 60 (I haven't played any more week since its gotten really tedious doing the ally achievements) and can bomb through the game now, I have yet to encounter Hardcore and Insanity but it dosnt sound that hard. Easy easy tip for Krogans is just to lift them in the air, even if they are running at you and signal your squad to all target him - they cant activate their shields then either.

I dont see the ammo types pointless to be honest, Ive gotten used to using different ones in different situations however what I do find annoying is that when I search a crate - I HAVE to do something with the items in it, I cant just put them back like with any other game in existence & I also find OmniGel pretty stupid as you only use it for hacking and repairing.
 
ive got over 1000 omnigel or perhaps 999 i know it was like 995 last time i looked and ive omipowered a lot more items since.

What amo types have you used exacly? what are insendiary good for? the bugs? didn't seem to make much difference for me a shotty owns them no matter what lol.
 
The ammo types can be incredibly useful on Insanity because you have to counteract the fact that your enemy have a full range of powers at their disposal. I can't remember what I used to use now though lol

I think I used to use Incindary ammo on the Sol/Luna mission with the hard bots. That mission took me about 8 odd tries before I passed the final set of bots. I saved outside the room and reloaded as req'd
