ANYWAYS


What build is everyone using?


Was using LVL 4 adept. Other than passives I had built up Lance, Singularity and Backlash. Finially started putting points into Pistol/AR/combat HP passive skill tree and switch over to LVL 3 Vanguard.

ClockShot 04-11-2017 07:18 PM

I really got a mish mash things going on with what I'm doing with my points. But I'm more-or-less running an Infiltrator. That's what I started with, and most of the skills I put my points into upgrade that particular class. So, tech stuff mostly.

Then again, I'm a completionist, so I'll throw a point here and there to skills I'll never use so after the game I can just put them on and get the trophies.

Outsider 04-11-2017 08:30 PM

Gone Vanguard like I did in previous games, using singularity, shockwave and nova. Biotics pretty week against armoured or shielded enemies though so have to rely on a sniper rifle alongside an assault rifle.

Should probably invest in some different skills but just sticking to what I am used to.

On multiplayer currently using a Salarian Engineer, who is bollocks but has a good robot VI which does a lot of the work for me.

I beat one of the Architects. Bow down to the king Rollins!

Beat the main story last night. Played these songs in celebration...

Mass Effect continues to be the best Star Trek games of all time.

ClockShot 04-23-2017 06:58 AM

Finished last night. Clocked in at about 99 hours. 100% complete.(99% actually, glitch preventing full completion)

I'm up for another one. With some significant changes here and there.

SlickyTrickyDamon 04-23-2017 11:40 AM

DLC will probably advance story a bit.

ClockShot 04-23-2017 12:16 PM

I can only think of maybe a couple parts of the story that were left open or still had a mystery to it.

But for the most part, it wrapped up nicely.

SlickyTrickyDamon 04-23-2017 04:17 PM

Did you listen to the distress/warning call when taking the victory lap? Felt like a dlc money grab advertisment.

Destor 04-23-2017 04:37 PM

Still have about 10hrs left but the dlc could be the other arks arrivin... Quarian/Volus/Elchor/Drell/Hanar/Bartarian are still inbound. Should be along in "2 years or so" from early game dialogue.

Unless of course that is super late game in which case leave me in the dark plz

SlickyTrickyDamon 04-23-2017 05:35 PM

Felt super cheated after curing the Genophage that the game was in between 2 and 3 and not cured.

SPOILER: show
Hey, if the next Tali'Zorah Vas Normandy is on that ark, I'll do anything and everything to save her. Even pay x dollars if I have to.

ClockShot 04-23-2017 07:28 PM

SPOILER: show
Don't know if you guys made it to Elaaden or not. But they totally forgot/did not mention that really bad graphically designed giant worm/snake thing in the dunes. Sure wasn't shaped like an architect. And after I beat said Architect, it was still there doing it's rounds.

So, hoping that might be some DLC in the future too.

SlickyTrickyDamon 04-23-2017 07:56 PM

Could be a random Beetlejuice reference.

ClockShot 04-27-2017 07:25 PM

Okay. Got the pain in the ass trophies taken care of.

Now I just have to play a bit of multiplayer for the tutorial & medic trophies, create my last APEX team, and I can put this on the back burner for a bit until I'm ready for my Insanity run..................and get that stupid Remnant VI trophy.

SlickyTrickyDamon 04-27-2017 09:44 PM

Missed half trophies on the first run for some reason. Went through a second time with Male Shep.

Destor 04-29-2017 05:35 PM

Completed at 98%

Would have been 100% but a few tasks bugged on me

Destor 04-29-2017 05:36 PM

90hrs

ClockShot 04-29-2017 06:05 PM

So, what are your thoughts?

Destor 04-29-2017 06:37 PM

I really enjoyed the game. Really. Bugs werent too bad for me though my father had a pretty negitive experience on that end. I would play a game that delivered that experience with a bit more polish in a heart beat.

Story was excellent. Game play was the best in the series. Thought the loyalty missions were some of the best quests from Bioware period. Lots ofnlore things im very interested in seeing play out going forward.

It was far from perfect but i got my $60 and then some out of it. 8/10

Destor 04-29-2017 06:46 PM

Climatic sequence was stellar. Final boss was meh.

Frank Drebin 04-29-2017 10:11 PM

I'll wind up getting it at some point after a price drop and some DLC.

Also more gay sex scenes. Not buying until they add lube and chicks with dicks.

Random go here and kill X type tasks. Enemies not spawning or the quest giver not being interactable were the most common. Only had 5 or so left.

Crafting the Nomad Shield Generator glitched for me.

Samr

Frank Drebin 04-30-2017 05:44 PM

Well....was on sale this weekend on PSN for $40 so I figured why not. Ill get to the BDSM prostate ejaculation scenes on the 2nd play through.

Me too. Felt that it was either glitched or I didn't buy the code for it at the vendor.

Frank Drebin 05-01-2017 09:53 AM

Anything I should know before I start?

Not really. It does a good job telling the story.

Read up on some of the glitches in the game. You will be prevented from getting 100%. Like most of us on here.

And do a check on the trophies/achievements. Some are miss-able and you'll need a second playthrough or a friend in order to grab them.

Frank Drebin 05-10-2017 12:34 AM

I think the new patch comes out tomorrow. Been holding off starting at least until this one. Might even hold out until (what I assume might be) the final post launch patch in a month and/or the first DLC.

Still biding my time with NG+ for Witcher 3.

Really just waiting for a confirmation of Santorum in the gay sex scenes.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-10-2017 04:10 PM

Kotaku are saying that Mass Effect is now on hiatus and the studio is just support for the main Bioware teams. I'm guessing it'll be on hiatus until Bioware's Texas AKA main studio want to come back to it, but their new IP has just been delayed into fiscal year 2019 and is supposed to be like Desitiny. If that takes off, they'll have a new cash cow. Fucks sake.

Fignuts 05-10-2017 05:24 PM

All these defining franchises during last gen, all failing to meet the standards set by previous releases. Mass Effect, Halo, gears, dragon age, all good games, but nothing amazing this time around.

Thats disappointing

Fignuts 05-10-2017 05:32 PM

Kinda glad though that there are so many new IPs making waves.

Wow. Just..............wow.

So I can expect no DLC to come out anytime soon. Or ever for that matter?

That blows.

Destor 05-10-2017 06:43 PM

Kinda crushed by this. Really wanted to see where they took things next.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-10-2017 06:44 PM

Just another in a long line of mishandled EA franchises. When you look at all the great games in the vault thingh know Origin and see all those franchise and how many they fucked up.

ClockShot 05-10-2017 06:48 PM

And I really, REALLY wanted my happy ending I got cheated out of in Mass Effect 3.
