I have no problem with console gaming, the problem I have is that there is no reason for consoles particularly the xbox to be so far behind the pc

 

It would also help if the PC and Consoles shared a 4 year cycle for upgrade standards but currently microsofts more interested in ganging up with sony in attempts to kill pc gaming

Yea textures looked crap to me as well, virtually every armor close up was washed out and low res, same for many of the faces. That's a bioware thing though, they are not very cutting edge in regards to graphics, though in ME3 the backgrounds and lighting were often fantastic .

 

Animations were almost comedic sometimes Shepards bow legged run was at the forefront, how that got approved I have no idea, it gets my worse running animation of the decade vote.

I'm satisfied with the Mass Effect char creations. More sliders are useful only if one is already skilled in the arts cos they don't make the skills but rather would irritate the beginners even more. Everything in life is a matter of talents and, even more, of training. And this goes for the responsible designers and the partly rotten ingame animation as well.

yeah you can edit the value of assets to raise ems you cannot however edit the readiness which will stay at 50% unless you do the multi player. I dont bother with multi player since I too use the crack solely to avoid EA's spyware infested origin

 

I believe it can. You only need 5000 for 'best' ending' date=' right?

I'm not sure on the numbers game but on another forums its been discussed heavily, if they are right without multi player you need a bit more then 10k ems

Yep 10k is the right number. 10k multiplied by .5 = 5k and the "so called" good ending. However remember you can have some decay in your effective military strength (EMS) so it is best to get MORE than 10k just to make sure that you end up with a minimum of 5k EMS at the end. One person modded jack to be 10k by herself. That right there would solve the problem with one little tweak.

 

@GSB - that vid you posted was interesting....long, but interesting.

 

 

I also use a cracked exe. F origin and that spyware nonsense!

Childish cheating of the GAWAssets doesn't explain why one has to play the synthesis way first to show the synthetics the true nature of humans as advanced organics in space, finally - the good destruction Homo sapiens is familiar with since the annihilation of Neanderthal man in the days of the mammoth. Human self-indoctrination isn't that new, we simply love to tell others a cock-and-bull story to justify ourselves.

You can edit the EMS of one asset with gibbed's ME3 editor. You can get over 100k EMS if you want to go overboard.

 

Remember to play with a cracked exe if you do this. Because if you don't origin (ea's spyware tool) will detect it and you risk getting banned as others have. You can and will get banned even if you only change single player stuff and never even play a minute of multi-player. Yet another dumbass move by bioware/ea.

The fact that you're basically forced to play multiplayer to get the "best" ending is pure bullshit. As far as I know nobody went over the 8k mark (I got up to 7200 or something like that) and that gives you less than 4k EMS and from what I heard best ending is at around 5k EMS.

Bioware's becoming the laughing stock of the industry

I cant find the link to her interview but the writer of heavenly sword and mirrors edge rhianna pratchett also took shots at bioware for the ending and then for later attempting to defend the ending

 

LOL!!!! The blizzard and mars effect links are just too damn funny!

NOTE: The ME3 comment is on page two at the very end (last question).

"Best ending" is "relative" if you know what I mean. Basically all you get if you choose the destroy option with 5k vs the 4k is a 1/2 second glimpse of Shepards chest start to draw a breath so.....not sure that you missed much.

Not missed much? You're kidding.

The breath is quite decisive for our understanding of the actual situation Shepard is in, viz laying heavily wounded on the ground in the ruins of London having last abstruse visions of the end of his mission. If he dies there or not and for what is up to you!

Btw, the rude twin moon planet on which the crew has landed, marooned on an island in space... is one and the same, though now cultivated, on which the stargazer is telling the kid (same voice as the the kid on earth/in the dreams/as VI hologram) fantastic stories about the legendary Shepard... ^^

 

Random or planned? Fascinating, isn't it?

Many gamers take it as just some sort of added bonus for multiplayer and thus not important, like an after thought.

 

It's interesting that it's only shown after selecting the destroy option, which, as you've also noted, is the only option where Shep's eyes don't show indoctrination.

 

That said, the eyes in the other options can also be explained without relying on the indoctrination theory. They could just be a means of showing synthetic merging during that option and be required for controlling Reapers in that option, so not just showing indoctrination.

 

As for the body breathing or being shown alive, the other two options have no reason for Shep to survive with his body. It's only after the Destroy option that one might wonder what happened to Shep's body, right? Like when Legion merged with the Geth, no one probably cared what happened to its body (if your Shep helped Legion save the Geth). Maybe control option means becoming some sort of disembodied catalyst, so no need to show Shep's body here either.

 

I dunno. It seems I disagree with both sides. I don't think the ending was a deviation from the rest of ME, especially not the rest of ME3, nor had any more plot holes than the rest of the missions or other sci-fi. So I don't think it's necessary to see the ending as not being physically real. I still think it's a way cool way to go, and almost wish it turns out to be the case. But I'm not convinced. I like the ending with or without it.

I'm noticing in myself that the more I hear reasons why the ending sucked, I like the ending as it is more and more. All of the raised issues against the game seem even more wrong, forcing me to the other side. Thanks!

That's good to know, and I've heard it before, too. Probably is true.

 

With ME2, I tweaked the hell out of combat and may yet do the same with ME3. So far, I'm not feeling the need tho.

 

On BioWare's behalf, they did try very hard to make this a non-modding game. Many games that aren't modded and use multiplayer are like this. So it kind of makes a lot of sense. It assures no one is cheating and only hurts a very small group. Those who see it as "dumbass" are far outnumbered by those who like to be assured no one is cheating.

I'm satisfied with the Mass Effect char creations. More sliders are useful only if one is already skilled in the arts cos they don't make the skills but rather would irritate the beginners even more. Everything in life is a matter of talents and' date=' even more, of training. And this goes for the responsible designers and the partly rotten ingame animation as well.

Good point. I wasn't really asking for more sliders. I'm so used to it by now, that I can quickly create the few Sheps I like and play. Most of the options I never use. What I would add would be more of a way of testing your creation before being stuck playing, maybe some facial animations and lighting changes would be nice. Sometimes I do experiment with an entirely different looking Shep than one of my norms and only find myself unhappy when seeing that Shep in game. Still, it's hard to gripe on this when most games don't have much for character creation with the exceptions being games I've only heard about and not played.

Too bad the face options in every Mass Effect game are absolutely horrible. ME2 fixed it somewhat, but it was still terrible. In fact, a lot of Bioware games have terrible face generators. Dragon Age Origins face editor is abysmally bad without mods. Most of their games make up for it with excellent everything else but DA2 and ME3 are bucking that trend. I hope they get back on track in their next game but I'm not holding my breath.

Those who play multiplayer certainly can appreciate folks not cheating.

 

Those who have no intention of playing multiplayer don't want to be banned for making a small tweak to their single player experience. Only a "dumbass" company ties the two together. This isn't just another shot at bioware it is also a shot at EA (C&C4 as well as others) and blizzard (starcraft). It is absolutely ignorant to tie both parts together. All of the COD and Battlefield games as well as many other titles that have both are separate. I can be a little bit forgiving as this is bioware's first foray into both genres with the ME series but for crying out loud as big a company as they are, they damn well should know better! Besides, haven't they maintained all along that a separate company did the multiplayer? So why the hell is it combo-ed up? Besides, back to the liar, liar bit - multiplayer wasn't supposed to be required for getting access to all the endings (loosely using that as a plural). However it IS required unless you mod things. Basically bioware should STFU about single player tweaks since they F'd up that little red wagon.

 

 

As to them trying to make it unmoddable? What? This game isn't any different than ME1 or ME2 with regards to modding. They (bioware) haven't EVER made modding easy with any ME game. Doesn't stop anyone from going ahead and modding it anyway :)
