Mass Effect 3 Thread

There is a good piece on Game Informer Entitled: "Why Changing The Mass Effect Ending is Mistake"

I'm not going to post it here as it contains Major Spoilers but I think the author makes some good points and expresses an opinion I have held since this all started.

I am particularly fond of this bit:

BioWare's pledge to "answer the questions" and provide more clarity for the final sequence may contain answers those players don't want to hear. Moviegoers crucified George Lucas for changing elements of the Star Wars trilogy that clashed with the established story fans already knew. Will BioWare make the same mistake? We'll find out when the developer provides further information on its "content initiatives" this April.

Ok, so I truly believed from the moment I let the Rachni Queen go (in ME1) that it would come back to save everyone's a$$es at the very end of ME3. In fact, I was almost RELYING on it. I even started to think that the Reapers themselves looked a bit like Rachni, so maybe they had also been around for countless millenia and has some deeper connection to the Reapers, and (thus) would have been the ones to understand how to end the Reapers. When I saw the Queen back in ME3 i wondered if they weren't dropping a hint, just to remind those who'd forgotten about her.
But then... nothing.
Ah well.

Wow I need to finish this game asap, by the time I'm done I'll have no news to read about the ending. I think no matter how bad the ending is, there is no ways you can just change the ending of the story that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.

Finish the game and then tell us what you think.
 
The games completely cooked out for me. I'm doing that Prothean mission and 90% of the textures are plain black, half the sounds are missing and the game constantly freezes.
 
Repairing didn't work, using one card instead of SLI didn't work, lowering settings to minimum didn't work. I guess that means I go back a few missions and don't risk this Prothean DLC. Pissed off.
 
Turns out that the DLC didn't download properly, even though I was able to land on the planet and complete a bit of the mission lol. Repairing the DLC on it's own, not the game in it's entirety, has started a 500MB download. Yay. pls work.
 
Sorry about that :P

So for anyone else who has this.

Issue #1:
DLC mission has black textures, freezes after cutscenes, etc.

Fix:
Re-install the DLC, by repairing the DLC install (not repairing the ME3 install, they're different) and it should redownload the DLC, about 550MB.

Issue #2:
This helped me get my textures working, but I'd still freeze after the cutscene.

Fix:
As the cutscene ends, SPAM escape! Ridiculous fix, but it worked first time for me.
 
Operation RESURGENCE

Operation BEACHHEAD eased the pressure on allied planets and freed up conventional forces that were being hammered by the Reapers. With these reinforcements, the allies can use RESURGENCE to target more critical infrastructure.

Anyone who has the Resurgence Pack multiplayer DLC operational during this weekend will be granted a Reserves Pack. A Reserves Pack unlocks one of the new random alien classes guaranteed.

All participating squads will earn +10% additional experience when playing on the Resurgence expansion’s new maps, Firebase: Condor and Firebase: Hydra.

Welcome to Operation Resurgence, the next N7 Challenge Weekend!

This week we released our first multiplayer expansion, the Resurgence Pack. This DLC added new maps, characters, weapons, and consumables. If you haven’t had a chance to download it yet, make sure to grab it; it’s available for no additional charge.

Firebase Condor and Firebase Hydra are available immediately. If you download the Resurgence Pack and play this weekend you will be rewarded with a Reserves Pack the following week, containing one new Resurgence character.

This Operation is currently available to Xbox 360 and PC users only, and will run from Friday, April 13th at 5PM PST to Monday, April 16th 5AM PST. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to offer our Multiplayer Challenge weekends on PlayStation 3. Sony has not yet approved the promotion. We continue to work with them to find a compromise, but until then, Sony will not allow us to run the same Multiplayer Challenges on the PlayStation 3 that we run on Xbox 360 and PC.

Please remember to set “Upload Gameplay Feedback” to “on” in the online options to be able to participate in Operation Resurgence.
 
Last night I was playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer as an Asari Vanguard and as I was playing my character fell through the building. So I was stuck beneath the floor and nowhere. After trying everything to get out I gave up and thought I would wait out the mission. This unfortunately didn't happen because after 5 waves I got a blue screen of death.

Hehe. Enjoying it immensely though. :D So much so that I still haven't finished the single player game! Will have to do that soon.
 
Since the last update I've been having tons of issues with the multiplayer. I'll hover around or not be able to run or move and things like that. Frustrating.
