Mass Effect 3

I heard the ending was beyond lame.

It's a shame too because overall, the game felt AAA to me. I mean it had its flaws like the broken journal system, lack of dialogue options, and not much in-game content. However, the weaving together of the MP and SP and of course the ending itself overshadowed everything else.

And I heard about the Indoctrination Theory right around the time it was introduced on the BioWare forums. There's no way BioWare planned for the IT to be their true ending from the start. I do however think it's their saving grace, because they could keep the endings exactly the same and come out looking ingenuous by saying "this is what we had in mind all along". Them releasing it as free DLC would make it look even more legit.

I'm still not 100% sold on the IT, though. I think it's simply people trying to make logic of an ending that makes no sense to begin with. But, BioWare would be dumb not to embrace it at this point.

The is mass effect 2 related but i ahve to say it anyway...

The guy that made the load/save part of the game is a ******* retard....

I was playing the suicide mission but Legion died so i loaded a earlier save (4 loyalty mission to go) to change my squad leaders and specialist. I still had the save where legion dies in my files.

So then when i quit the earlier save because i didn't want to replay all the mission again and the save with the suicide mission on was gone and replaced by the early one....

So did i do something wrong or the game screwed me over ?

If you were playing off of the autosave, then yes you are screwed.

Ah that is probably it i just dont understand why it erase the one on the final mission instead of the one i was playing on ?

Now i have to do everything again

Apparently even the voice actors of the game didn't like the ending.

Steve Blum, the the voice actor for Grunt said the ending is "weak" when he did a review for it on Toonami.

For those that don't know, Steve Blum is the voice actor for Tom on Toonami, and Cartoon network is doing a April Fools prank to replace Adult Swim with Toonami.

I don't know how long this will last, but last night(right now in some places) they aired Dragon Ball Z, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, Outlaw Star, Big O, Yu Yu Hakusho, Blue Submarine #6, Trigun, Bleach and Astro Boy.

Yeah I heard about that and I was really sad I missed it. Maybe if AS hadn't put on total bull crap fro the last 10 years I might have been watching.

Stop reading if you don't want the spoilers....

Seriously.....






Just chose the Geth over Quarians and Tali killed herself... that was quite a bummer. I felt very guilty afterwards On my second playthrough I'm definitely siding with her, or trying to get myself to the point where I can keep both.

Ya I did the same, however I have heard if you played ME2 and did stuff and your paragon is high enough, you can actually get both the Geth and Quarion.

I was randomly flipping channels and stumbled across that, it was surreal I remembered getting home as a kid and watching this after schoOL.

DLC ideas?

I think a cool DLC, outside the obvious ending DLC. Would be a attack on Omega, try in take it back from Cerberus.

I think it's safe to say everyone between 17-30 remember Toonami and enjoyed it.

You can still get both, it all depends on paragon rather you played ME2 or not. ME2 helps more though.

I managed to bring peace between the Geth and Quarians as a full paragon. Although, I imported all the way from ME1.

This is for those that haven't seen the video. I saw it for the first time tonight. I already knew and posted some of the things talked about in the video, but completely forgot about the Rachni.

Back on Mass Effect 1 and 3, the Queen explains her indoctrination, the sour notes. The way she describes it, is eerie similar to Shepard's nightmares.




In just because I found this funny:
