i love them, favorite games of all time
ME3 is a day-one purchase for me. I actually won ME1 and ME2 from a Direct2Drive twitter giveaway. That was a good day. :)
^ lucky you!
I've been using d2d more than steam lately because I get faster download speeds with them, steam is sooo slow for me.
I made the transition from the original Mass Effect on Xbox to Mass Effect 2 on PS3, so I'm getting ME3 for PS3 most definitely on day one. I'm about half way though ME2 right now (Dead Space 2 was a major distraction :P).
hell yeah, i'm getting ME 3 day 1 and then i'm gonna spend the next 2-3 days locked inside and i'm not going outside till i beat it
hmmmm, I was thining of posting about Mass Effect but saw not only did you beat me to it, but you did it by like 3 weeks. I am sooooo slow. Anyway, I'm still trying to milk Medal of Honor for the last of the achievements I WANT to go for, which is a good game by the way, before I fire up Mass Effect and its sequel.
Something that concerns me though is that I heard if I pick the soldier class or some other class that likes weapons and ranges, the game will be very difficult towards the end. However, the guide I bought says that the soldier class is great for beginners. I normally like playing as a soldier anyways, and was thinking about going for that or the infiltrator class, but if the game gets impossible towards the end, I don't really want to start over. Has anyone who has finished it with those two classes found the first Mass Effect that difficult to complete?
Mass Effect 3 is definitely a day one purchase for me too. I can't wait for the Arrival DLC tomorrow I'm so excited :)
It's not rly that difficult, I played on normal and barely ever died. Higher difficulties are a different matter though. For the first game I'd recommend vanguard cause they are super strong in the first one also the sniper rifle is kinda broken so that sucks, for the second one infiltrator was an awesome class and they totally fixed the sniper rifle. But that's just me I hate playing as soldier when I can have tech or biotic powersQuote:

I have the collectors edition of the first 2 game, and getting the 3rd one too.
I've read all the books too.
All I have now to do is read the comics.
I'm in love with this game, and got a boner when I saw the trailer above!

ME 1 & 2 are unreal. I would have said ME 2 is possibly my 3rd favourite game of all time. That was until Dragon Age 2 was released which I love even more! Bioware are most definitely my favourite developer of all time.
I'm liking what I see in Mass Effect so far (I got all the characters but am focusing on the side quests right now). It reminds me a lot of KOTOR but without the lightsabers. I don't think Bioware is going to make a game I don't like.Quote:

I will say, KOTOR is an amazing game also, gets just a bit dated graphics wise in my opinion. I have no problem with retro games but I look at bioware games from today and compare and the jump is significant.Quote:

I definitely prefer the Mako over mining planets. However, the mining did lead to very different mission types. I admit: I love both games for different reasons. I'm sure the third will be no different.
Just finished my first playthrough of Mass Effect and didn't realize I'd hit Level 50 so soon. I mean, it wasn't like early or in the middle of the game, but I got to there in Virmire and since I couldn't level up anymore, I tried out a bunch of different ways to kill the bad guys. I am going to play with the same file to get it to level 60 later, but right now, I started over with am engineer this time in order to get all renegade and knock out some more achievements before I go back to my soldier file and build it up to prepare for Mass Effect 2.
you're aware your character stats wont transfer over the ME2 right? its just your choices, just giving you a headsupQuote:

And yes, day 1 purchase. So much for my studies...
yeah, I read about how the leveling won't cross over like I initially thought it would, but apparently ME2 reads your achievements as well. I'm probably going to do a once more with my Soldier since I liked using him, but I want to finish with my renegade engineer first because I saw some funny responses last night before I went to bed.Quote:

oh man the responses get even better in ME 2, cause you have instant responses, like pushing people out of windows !
I am about to start this game tonight, i've waited to long to actually play this and ive ran into a lot of spoilers =(. That's what i get!Quote:

I saw Game Informer did an article on ME3 and I'm hoping that because I didn't terminate said group, I can recruit them in the third game. That goes for both of my characters so far.
Can i get a link to that article if its possible? My brother wants to check it out haha.Quote:

WOW.
Just finished the game, it was epic. Pre ordering the 3rd one asap.
Just finished my 2nd playthrough. Still want to hit it as an adept for the achievement points and I still want to level up my Soldier to 60 for ME2. According to the bioware site, if I were to jump in ME2 with my Soldier, he'd be level 3. If I max him out in ME though, he'll start off as level 5. That's a lot of work just for two more levels, but I want to make sure that I got all the decisions right that I wanted before I get into ME2.
What's funny to me is that my Soldier hit level 50 before we got to Virmire and when I played my 2nd playthrough with my Engineer, I finished the game with her at level 56.
However, I need a break from ME for a couple of days. I have a couple of other games I need to play in the mean time.
I love the Mass Effect games, I've played through both of them multiple times, currently playing through ME2 on Hardcore as an Adept, can't wait for the third one, played through all of the DLC for ME2 as well (Shadow Broker was awesome!!!)
Anyways, I'm new to the site and since I just started listening to the show I decided I'd start posting in the gaming section first until I catch up. Looking forward to getting to know everyone
Haha yeah, im starting my insanity playthrough, should get all the trophies soon.Quote:

I personally never bothered trying to get to level 60, starting as a level 3 character never made me feel that underpowered, but to each his ownQuote:

I'm bringing along Tali and Liara because I'm trying to get the ally achievements for them, but I get the feeling I'm switching back to Wrex and Garrus as soon as I can after that.Quote:

00Loyalty missions are in ME2. In the first one, you get the achievement points by having them in your party for at least 75% of the game. Not playthrough, but the game... which means I have a LOT of sidequests to do with those two in my party.Quote:
