Most likely, there are a spectrum of endings. The one I got was not horrible, but could be better and I only had about 50% readiness, so ther is likely to be a better one. However, with my ending, it rolled me back. In Mass Effect 2, it would be like going through the Omega Relay, finishing the game and then being rebooted to before the crew is taken so you can do Dowloadable content or mission which were skipped.
One thing I REALLY hated was one of the sub-bosses.
I see this dude trying to look all bad ass. I just shake my head. What the hell! did they really write this for 15 yearolds? This cat looks as if he stepped off the pages of some cheap-ass japanese movie / comic book. It would be hard for them to make it more cliche if they tried. Then, the final confrontation gets even worse! The dude runs his moth in typical bad guy monolog. Runs, Jump, growls in a fake kia (spelling) and puts his fist through the floor and halts expecting me to be intimidated. If it was in game rather than a cinematic, I and my team would have "Pulp Fictioned" his ass. So, I kill him. Upon doing so, it again goes to a cinematic and my team and I walk away singing the smurf song no longer paying any attention to the most dangerous threat encountered in the game so far. You guessed it. He pulls a Jason (or, insert whatever the current back from the dead again agiain badguy)
Games and movies etc can do somethings so well and then pull this crap. Here is a hint, if it is cliche' it is not dramatic. I would like it to be fresh or admit the cliche' with parody. In the incredibles, the retired superheroes talking about the bad guy having them and then starts talking and the heores regain the upper hand or the hitch-hicker in Zombieland gets into "woody's" truck and glances over his shoulder. Great inside jokes.
DUDE! That was quite possibly my favorite cinematic in that game! C'mon! I loved that! :D
The ending isn't as "epic" as Mass Effect 2. But let it sizzle and think about it, a lot. You'll love it.
Too each their own. They did what they wanted to do very well. But to me that whole japanimation is much more about looking cool rather than getting something done. Japan was a very closed culture. They spent 1000s of years without actually accomplishing much of anything talking about how superior they were.
I've started playing the multiplayer levels and having a little fun, but the weapons i'm stuck with SSSSSUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!
Now, I could f'n pay some real cash to up my Xbox points to buy the latest and greatest stuff (so tempted to) or I can keep playing with a lvl 2 shotgun and machine gun, keep dying and slowly gain 50k points (i think that's the amount) to buy the special package.
Anyway, my war readiness is about 65 or so.
So, I have my arc pistol. Pretty damn cool. Too bad I can't... wait, can I??? Can I wield two diff pistols at the same time? Can I possibly have my sticky grenade AND the Arc pistol at the same time?? Dual wield?? Anyone? Hellooooo.. is this thing on?
No dual wielding in ME3. If i wasn`t stuck in a hotel for the next five weeks, i would join one of your games to help out. I have a lot of fun playing multiplayer and was able to promote two of my characters to the single player, which helps with that effective military strength.
I played for a few hours yesterday and decided to use my 240 microsoft/Xbox bucks to get some good weapons. NOT! I tried the "Special" pack and got the crappy "Disciple" shotgun. Later I decided to buy the recruit package and got the "Graal Striker" which is slow as fugg, but deals death with one shot.
So, needless to say, I was and still am PIIIIIISSSEEED that I actually wasted real money (could have used it on Vudo movie) and got a better weapon with the frigg'n credits accrued from simply playing the game.
I do have part of my war map at 100%, which helps my readiness a LOT!
Since I'm stuck on the campaign part with Shep trying to kill the Reaper with the orbital laser (keep dying), I've decided to step up my multiplayer game.
Strategy Spoiler
I run side to side and watch the Beam, after it tracks a bit, it fouls and goes up above you, I run under the beam and light up the reaper. I also did not always paint the target to completion. Pull the trigger to start the targeting and if you see the red beam again, start running. After the reaper beam is out of the way, Light it up again. Since you have already started the targeting, the second painting will be much shorter
Never spend money on those micro-transactions, man. I could've told you that. Just get a group of friends and play a Silver challenge. You'll get about 30,000 credits if you complete it.Quote:

Pissed me off big time, but I stayed the course and finished on Insanity.
