GIVE ME KROGAN LOVE!!! Even if it kill's me! I haven't beaten it yet, but i'm about halfway through. I love all the content, even if it will make a second play through a little long. Mine freeze a few time, but usually will start up after a minute. I hate how my Shepard will randomly be looking to the side or at the ceiling instead of looking forward. WHAT IS HE LOOKING AT? Is their some nude character distracting him? love the game but will love it more when they fix the glitches and the inability to import your Shepard face from the other games. I love me some Vega "loco".

LOL, I have had that happen, he'll just be looking in some random direction, instead of towards the person talking. I remember when I first got Liara and Glyph on my ship. I stared at Glyph through the whole conversation, instead of looking at Liara, lol.

Mine didn't load back up, so it was annoying, I had to turn off the system and start from the last savepoint.

I really liked it, don't get me wrong, but, there were a few downsides to it. Instead of talking to every member after every mission, its only have the major missions, I think. Mars, Tuchanka, Rannoch, and thats about it. Earth isn't really a 'after mission' kind of conversation, lol.

One thing has be ecstatic. I FINALY GOT TO SEE TALI'S FACE!!! I don't know if you get to do it normally, but I romanced her in ME2 and continued in ME3. After saving both the geth and the quarians, I talked to Tali on the ship and she said she left something for me up in my chamber. When I went to look, there is a new picture next to my bed. It's Tali from the waist up without the suit! Yes, she is wearing clothing but still but It was awesome!!!! This is totally true and its sad but its now my favorite part of the game. QUARIAN FACE!!!

I saw the video of it. It was very underwhelming, they just took a pic of a current model and messed with it. Because, honestly, when would she have had the time to pose for a picture like that? Any time outside of her suit exposes her to germs that could essentially kill her. But, she had time to pose, in a grassy field and smile and all that? I detect laziness on the artists part.

I'm just happy they gave us something, instead of cutting away just as my character took off her mask. Their was a lot of laziness in just a pic, but it is still better then the horrible ending. I just beat it and have watched the vid's of the other potential ending. 3 endings, all killing Shepard and the cut scene that followed only differed between the 3 in two small areas. The light of the catalyst was either orange, blue or green and the reapers either dropped where they were or flew away...
Then we have Joker suddenly flying at FTL with the whole crew on board running from the pulse energy when we dose not even know what it is. How do the characters get back on the ship? When did they have time? Why did joker abandon the fight to come to them? Then they crash land of some strange world. Supposedly caused by being ripped from FTL. How is this the resolution to the story we have been waiting for? I got the strategy guide and it says that my Shepard is still alive and that earth was saved. If I didn't have the guide, that little intake of breath you see just before the end would have left me completely confused. Some say they left it that way to leave room for DLC, how is that better? DLC is supposed to help make the main gameplay more fun, not to try and fix a bad ending to the game when they already had the day one DLC. If they make fans pay for a better ending (Or, god forbid, make a ME4) It might be the straw that breaks the companies back.

I had no Idea what all the fuss was about until I beat it myself.

Yeah, it was really stupid. I thought there would be a big fighting scene like at the end of 2. Where everyone worked together and accomplished part of the mission, that was really awesome, but, they didn't do that. Fuckers., They were really lazy on this one, kind of like how they were lazy with DA2

Ugh, don't even get me started on DA2. The graphics were good and the story was,,,, passable till the end. The problem was the lack of explorable areas. You wandered through the same city that did not change even though years are passing by. They just recycled the same maps and didn't bother to tweak them to at least cover this up. I like ME2, ME2 and DA1 but I wish EA would but out and let Bioware go back to how they used to make games. Keep the new graphics but give me back my writers!!

I find that really funny, when I think about it. In DA2, you were in the same town, for what, 7 years? its barely....-BARELY- been like, 3 years, and every freaking time I go to the Citade(in each game)l, its a different area, entirely.

I guess the citadel is constantly being repaired. The attack in the first game, the incomplete repairs in the second and then the completed repairs and the war in the third. The area is constantly being changed and while it is a little annoying sometimes, at least we aren't walking around the same citadel from the first game. If not for the maps then I would never go there unless I had to for a mainline quest. They put that effort into creating new environments for us to explore, then in DA you see tall these areas you can go to and their massive. DA2, even with all the DLC is only half the size of the first one (at beast). Its insane that they downsized the area gave us an unchanging environment and hopes we would not notice. I still loved playing a mage in DA2 (the spells were awesome and I loved the combat) but I had no urge to replay it with a different class because I could not take the boring side quests and running around that one little town for 30 hours. I hope DA3 is better then DA2 or the end of ME3. Gosh, makes me worry that this company is making HALO 4. Even when Master chief was supposed to die at the end of H3 and they said his story was over. Makes me wonder if they will try to continue Shepard's story as well. They already backtracked on how many Halo games they would make, why not do the same with Mass effect. Although now with the mass relays destroyed and the major military forces of every races trapped in our solar system, I don't really see where they can go from here.

Nah, MC never died at the end of 3. MC was part of another game, Marathon, I think. The Halo series was a prequel to Marathon.

But, you have a point, they've made the ME universe basicly, unenjoyable, there is no where to go, and no way to get there anymore. I feel especially bad for the Quarians, they just got their home world, and they will never live long enough to see it again.

I just have this gnawing feeling that they will jump forward a few years and say that the races joined together a rebuild the relay system. Even when no one was able to do it before. Then again, the galactic armada and the scientists that worked on the crucible are all trapped in the sol system anyway. Too bad the Mass relays don't seem to work unless theirs more then one. I guess what happened to joker at the end of ME3 was because the relay was destroyed in mid flight and he was thrown out of FTL prematurely. While it might make since, why destroy the relays just to build them again? There was talk about basing other games off of this universe because they put so much work into flushing out the characters that it would be a wast to end it all in just 3 games. They say Shepard story is over, but they never say that the ME universe is done. Its like Assassins Creed, Ezio is dead, but they made it clear at the end of the last game that the stories is still kicking.

Sorry about all this rambling, I have too much free time as it is and I spend most of it playing video games. Can't wait for ME4, AC (5?) DA3 and Halo 4. Heres hoping EA and Bioware learn something from all of this. It would suck to create such an uproar over a game just to have them repeat the process. Bioware lost a lot of fans and will lose more if this supposed "Epilogue" DLC dose not fill in the plot holes.

Can I ramble on or what?

My only argument with the Normandy trying to outrun the relay beam, is, why would the Normandy have abandoned Earth? Since the party was right in front of the teleporter majig, and then in the vid, I saw my party members climbing off the Normandy. It makes me wonder how far my party ran to get away when they thought I had died. Thats just such a big plothole that I can't wrap my head around it.

I really hope they don't follow though with what other people think it means. Some say that Shepard died trying to get to that bean that leads to the citadel and the everything after he gets hit by that reaper laser is just a dream he/she is having before they pass on. Might explain why Joker left, if Shepard is dead and their might be no hope for Earth because all of Hammer team was destroyed. Maybe everything up to the point where Hackett comes on the COMs to say theirs something wrong and the Crucible wont fire was a dream, and the only real parts where when Shepard decided the fate of the Reapers. The ghost child/thing could have opened the Citadel arms for him. But this is all just speculation until the next DLC, which I hope comes out soon.

HA! This is the most I have ever said on FA. Figures it would take Mass Effect to get me out of my shell.
