And Harbinger finds his voice again during the beam run, as opposed to just sitting there like a big mute numpty in the non MEHEM ending.

Oh yes, Harbinger. I had forgotten about him!

I haven't decided between MEHEM or destroy yet. If I go for destroy, at least I can still cling to Indoctrination Theory!

PS. One thing from my current playthrough- I am totally convinced that ventboy does not exist!

Hmm just started this game, it's been given the Hollywood treatment then. Hope theres an option to kill Joker.

I am struggling atm tbh. there are so many obstacles to overcome, and so many things to ignore before you can enjoy it! ....I keep expecting the dialogue wheel to appear, but it rarely does

It is such as shame because Tuchunka and Rannoch are so well written. Pity the rest is garbage.

PS- Is it a coincidence that I start to lose interest the moment Kei Lame shows up?

Having read the books, I was really excited about the arrival of Kai Leng. Shame the last book killed off or made unavailable any of the other interesting characters.

Pighardia · 7 Dec 2012 at 14:34

He was a really good character in Retribution, but how the mighty fall...now he is reduced to sending Shepard emo emails in ME3

Just done Leviathan and I thought it was pretty good. It is all nonsense of course, and should have been part of the main game, but I enjoyed it. Some great environments and some nice squad interaction too.

Pighardia · 10 Dec 2012 at 23:31

Just finished the game for the 2nd time....I can't put in to words how I feel about it tbh. Even though I knew what was coming, I just can't believe it!

I don't like the EC...It took away the dlc message

That was my favourite bit

Did you MEHEM or vanilla?.

Ive just started a full play thru including Levi & Omega, Omega's a lot more palatable second time around, especially straight after the Cerberus coup, feels like a counter attack instead of a stand alone DLC.

Pighardia · 11 Dec 2012 at 11:38

I just did Destroy for this one. I will save MEHEM for the inevitable play-through when I decide to give it another chance in a few months time!

There are obviously massive spoilers in this to do with the ending

Pighardia · 13 Dec 2012 at 19:33

I have to admit, I laughed out loud!

"An ending so full of artistic integrity...Only the creators liked it!"

Diplexbullet19 · 14 Dec 2012 at 08:58

They need to do a mass effect 4, accept there ending failed and just use the excuse of indoctrination and maybe have him wake up a few days after mass effect 3 began, So he is actually in the rubble where the earth council (forgot what they were called) died. Its a little dallas but beats the crappy ending.

Which one do you prefer? Mass Effect 2 or 3? I used to play ME2 and i liked it, but i don't know if ME3 is worth to buy

FartInferno · 16 Dec 2012 at 22:03

Well just finished it having avoided all topics related to it's ending. Was surprised how short the game is, and the best way to describe the ending is a solid "meh". ME1 was great, 2 was good & 3 was a solid average'ish

Do people still play the multiplayer on ME3? If its on sale on Origin for <£5 at christmas I'm a little tempted to pick it up because I did enjoy the MP on the demo but I wasn't gonna pay over the odds for the rest of the game.

It's a very good SP experience.

For Multi, I wouldnt play it. BF3 or PS2...

I can't really speak as to how many play it...it has never appealed to me tbh, but they do still do those special 'operation' weekends so it must be pretty active

I stopped playing it a few months ago, but theres lots of additional classes and maps to play since I stopped. For £5 its certainly worth a punt, it will probably get boring eventually as you only play vs bots but you could still get a few months of entertainment out of it.

*shrug* I enjoyed it during the demo and you were pretty limited with what you had available there (and it was a little buggy). I originally said back then that I wouldn't have minded playing it as a stand-alone like Last Stand in DoW2 but that was obviously never gonna happen.

I'd play the SP as a matter of course at some point. The storyline of ME is dead to me to put it frankly.
