Mass Effect 3

Started by Smasandian64 pages

I only get upset about release dates when they get pushed back a couple of weeks before.

But who actually thought that Mass Effect 3 was going to be released this year?

How awesome would it be if they got rid of Thermal Clips? Like, that would be ****ing ridiculously awesome.

Here's a site revealing box art for ME3 (or at least one of the optional box arts anyway) which reveals the game possibly having kinect support. Also, Shepard appears to have a sword in his omni-tool:

Ignoring the speculative comments on that page, I'm not sure how they'd implement Kinect with ME3 - it could either make or break the game IMO - there's just so much interatively about ME as a series that makes me think that it could be more trouble than it's worth to implement the Kinect.

"We fight or we die. That is the plan"

An Omni-Blade? I thought that was a silly idea until Shepard went and made me say "I stand corrected" after peforming such badass moves with it.

Dude haven't you learned the first law of the universe?

Shepard's sheer badassery makes even wearing a black swan outfit to a gangsta shootout an intelligent, completely overpowered move.

Jon Grissom Academy doesn't teach me enough apparently 🙁

No surprise there.

We get to punch reporters still huh? Well that's good although I have mixed feelings about the idea of Bioware revealing Tali's face (especially due to the fact that they still have no idea what she looks like). What made her interesting from the get go was that like Master Chief, her hidden face made fans wonder and because of that mystery, she became more interesting. To go and show off that Quarian's face would be like revealing what Area 51 has been actually hiding: it ruins the stream of theories and speculation thus making the subject less intriguing. Yes, I'm sure she looks cute, hot, and/or sexy but for the sake of keeping her interesting, the staff making this game should leave her alone and let us, the fans, decide on what she may look like through the power of imagination!

Nah.

Master Chief is lame.

Tali's face FTW.

Disagree. What made Tali interesting was her strength tempered by realistic worry.

...and that accent. Damn. <3

Mostly agree. But the thing tht made Tali interesting for me was a mixture between he specifically and the Quarians as a species. Quarians: the fact that they're biologically opposed to humans making it difficult for them to make any physical contact without a suit.

Tali: the fact that she takes a shine to Shepard, she becomes the literal forbidden fruit. If you touch her she runs the risk of getting seriously ill and dying. That's why - though I have to keep reminding myself it is a game, Drew Karpyshyn has an amazing ability to take me beyond the game frontage and into his world - i have never tryed to "go" with Tali in all my play throughs of ME2, I can't bring myself to do it for the morality of the situation lol.

Personally I think hiding a person's face is just a very lazy way of invoking a very shallow level of interest in that character. It's an old and simple tactic that literally any storyteller can do it. I'd be happy if they did show her face here, since this is the final game.

What made her interesting is that she was one of the more well developed and nuanced characters in the game. I also personally find her backstory much richer than most of the other characters in the game, as was her loyalty mission.

Don't "nah" me you waffle.

You hating him is what makes John awesome.

Yes I'm sure showing a face that's a mystery to even the creators is a good idea. No chance of ruining our expectations at all 🙄

So you're telling me you never wondered what lies beyond that mask of hers? Also, I agree with the accent. It really does sound good on her.

Yeah having her exposed and possibly dying would make me feel like a selfish, uncaring @$$hole too which is why I never attempted to woo her no matter how appealing she might be and besides, I've imported my romance interests from the first game and sure there's the option to do some two-timing but I'm a better man than that.
