Mass Effect 3 Thread

So I finally started playing ME3, installed the game and all the free DLC's. I started the single player just till after you flee earth and switched to multiplayer. now for some reason it won't load my SP game, it just keeps telling me it can't find the Extended Cut DLC! :mad:

any thoughts?
 
No no, I mean repair install of the game in Origin. If you right-click on the game in Origin it should give you an option for repair install. It's pretty much the same thing as Steam's 'verify game cache' as far as I know. Checks for missing/corrupt files and redownloads them.
 
I assume you did exit the game and connect again? Origin sometimes decides to "loose" the internet connection while you're in-game and then all the dlc is disabled.

Also, and Solitude and myself can testify to this, sometimes closing Mass Effect a couple of times and opening it up again makes a difference. In multiplayer for instance, sometimes when we try to connect to the same game, it tells us that we are using different versions of the game and a restart of the game usually fixes it.

Ah, yeah I'll try that. I installed it from iso's so could be something went wonky

yeah I'm having a lot of problems connecting to the EA server, usually only get on after the 3rd try or so
that's the only other thing I thought it could be. on initial start it fails to connect to the server and then tunes me it can't verify the dlc's, then I retry connecting a couple of times and eventually it takes, but I guess it then doesn't re-verify the dlc's...
 
Mass effect is amazing.
If you need/want help in the multiplayer, give me a shout.
I still need to unlock a few of the characters. (and playing with overseas guys isn't that fun)

Need so many credits required, so little time.

Unlocked the warlord last night. It's fun smashing everything in your way and basically not losing health but how do you play the warlord effectively vs the bosses? They just grab and insta-kill me

you talking about those banshee witch things? yeah you can't take them on close combat, they will remove your jibbly bits no matter who you're playing with

I find a rocket to the face to be the most effective against them

Yep... Lots of shock and warp and "bullets"... if you want to save rockets :)

Simple (harder than it sounds:D), I usually get 2 or 3 hammer shots from behind while they're focusing on the rest of my team (depending on size and agility, e.g. Banshee vs. Atlas) and get back just as they realize someone's clobbering them from behind, rinse and repeat and you're owing them fast :D

Warlord bro, use him wisely and you can. I've solo'ed Atlas's, Praetorians, Scions, and the odd Banshee :p
 
I couldn't find the "recently finished" thread...

Mass Effect Three: " Game of No Conscience "

So I just finished it and mostly liked it...

What I didn't like:
Guns and armour - They didn't mean much, eg. I played the game with one armour set and mostly same weapons. Why not make them matter. lol.
Characters - They are just there, but means nothing more. I felt not same about them as with ME1 and ME2, at least there they really meant something.
Scan and find - So what? Again pointless "mini game", but at least not as bad as in ME1 :D
Setting up the fleet and war assets - Sweet I've done this, but it also bears no meaning at the end. Wouldn't been nice if it actually did matter in one or another way. WOW the thought if you could choose to lead the land or space battle!!!! (you know like SW)
Renegade options - LOLWHUT?

With that aside and it being shy from the high point ME2 were, its not that bad, but could have been epic nonetheless. The end I didn't mind that much, but I have to wonder if its because you are wrong and dead that it was where the hate started. So what if the illusive man was partly correct and so what if you died. Do you always need to survive?

Love... HATE... I'm still deciding.


ps. I did blewup the thing for wtf it mattered

ME3 Indoctrination Theory & DLC "Ending" Proof

 
Did you finish all the DLC as well?
I think they are well worth it. They add some missing details to the story which is quite good.

Would have been awesome if they did that, but I think Bioware lacks the imagination :(
 
EPIC NECRO!!!

So guys, I've been on my third playthrough of Mass Effect 3 and I'm getting close to completing it (I completed the Thessia mission last night). So I tried some MP just to see if people are still playing the game, and indeed lots of people are still playing the MP mode (and goodness is still tons of fun), to the point where I don't have to wait even a minute to find a game.

Anyway, I'll be playing this for a while, anyone keen to get back into it for co-op action?

I wouldn't mind joining you, but I first have to see if I have a back-up of the game files (which I'm sure I do).
 
I only have one weekend left. Will see if I can join in, but it will only be rather late at night. Haven't played in ages.
