CVG's tour of Normandy.

I ... uh actually wish I didn't watch that. Your choice, but if you're scared of spoilers I wouldn't because it's apparently footage from the Normandy late in the game.

So different from IGN's Normandy tour?

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I hope I can fist a Hanar in this one

THIS ONE DOES NOT APPROVE

 

[Blue Ninja]

By the way, for those interested: the Alliance/Cerberus News Network updates can now be followed on Twitter.

Yeah, it's different. Longer and more in-depth.

More in-depth. The person commentating does say a couple of spoilers and they do show a couple of spoiler things so avoid if you want to go in blind.

Damn. Thanks. Not clicking.

Quoting myself cause I got buried:

As far I know savegames are not exclusive to an account. You should simply be able to copy the save in your new account and use it as your own save.
There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to continue on a different gamertag.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Me: Hey guys, so how about that Mass Effect? It's pretty cool, right?

GAF: Tali's boobs are probably sacks of shit.

:/



:'(

And I'm not even a big Tali fan.

I loled hard enough to smear coffee all over my desk... you fucker!

Good stuff, thank you!

 

[shinobi602]

Thought this could spark some neat conversation while we're salivating for the game to come out.

1UP made a voice acting wishlist for ME, what do you guys think?

Asari- Joan Rivers

Elcor - Emo Philips

Volus - Jason Alexander

Krogan - Ernest Borgnine

Salarian - Eddie Deezen

 

[Dr Stabbingworth]

If I played ME2 on one profile on my xbox, but want to play ME3 on a different profile on my xbox, is that even possible?

No. I'd look into the save editing stuff posted above.

Again, the answer is no. I tried to transfer my ME1 level 60 character to a new profile and it doesn't work.

 

[Trick_GSF]

Any change I get to kill Krogan in ME3 I'm going to take. I hate Krogan. Stupid space rats is what they are.

Wrex.

Shep......nope. Dead joke.

 

[Trick_GSF]

True. Still don't like em.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Aaaaaaand we've finally covered all the bases necessary for a proper ME thread.

 

[shadyspace]

I like Drells the most. Did you know that they're one of the few if only species to have an equivalent lifespan to humans?

 

[EatChildren]

Shep......nope. Dead joke.

"Just like Wrex."

Technically humans live a little longer than today in the ME universe

 

[shadyspace]

Technically humans live a little longer than today.

85 is a little longer than today!

 

[i-Lo]

Any info on how long humans live in the ME universe?

 

[shinobi602]

85 is a little longer than today!

Well, in ME1 Shep said "We're lucky if we hit 150". Shit, you'd never hear that today, meaning in the ME future, humans probably average 110-135 or so.

 

[Salvadora]

Just pre-ordered it! And re-bought ME2. Going to need to replay it again to create a perfect save file.
(ME2 end spoiler)

Spoiler

Didn't blow up the collector base Don't know what i was thinking considering i'd been playing a paragon

 

[shadyspace]

I've had difficulty finding the lifespans of Volus, Turians, Hanar, Batarians and Elcor.

I did it on all my Renegade saves. Is it beneficial to do it?

Spoiler

Saving the base is renegade, Blowing it up is paragon

Ah right.

Den of Xenophiles indeed. :lol

 

[Sir Hamish]

Just a wee heads up to UK gaffers looking for a collectors edition on the 360 ... Blockbuster still have some left. They have the PS3 collector's editions too. Only place I could find one

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

I've had difficulty find the lifespans of Volus, Turians, Hanar, Batarians and Elcor.

The lifespan of Batarians is determined by how long it will take Shephard's bullets to reach them.

Fuck Batarians. Also goes for Vorcha.(such a useless addition to the ME universe... imo)

Much better video than what IGN provided. Yes, light spoilers throughout. But I'm do very hyped, only 6 more days!

Amazon still has them. Should i change my order to one do you think?

Ordering a CE? Yes, do this.

Ahhh ok, I didn't see any of amazon. I thought they just had the PS3 version. As for wether its worth it, it might be. Your getting the new companion DLC plus a 70 page artbook. That's what swung it for me. Well, that and a tax rebate lol

You also get 4 sweet weapons, a ton of extra armors, and a badass ROBODOG.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

You need to have a really low resolution to make that work.

The real answer is greasemonkey. Hide YT comments - like this one.

works great, thanks!

It is a good video, some light spoilers, they are in the late game and had to blur some stuff and not explain what something was. But the new normandy looks great. I like how everything seems messy and disorganized.

Realy dissapointed with what i saw...

Spoiler

the Normandy is almost empty! Where are all the squad mates? he says that its almost near the end of the game and there's no sign of Tali, Wrex, and everyone else. Only Garus, Liara and Vega are shown in the entire video.

SSSHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mindlog]

Quarian assholes have become so tight over the years (to help prevent infection) that poop that does come out emerges in extremely thin strings that the enviro-suits place in protective threads along the inner pantlegs.

This thread is getting weird again, but I don't quite understand how this works. Perchance an illustration could rectify the confusion?

Dammit, another "decision" from the previous games made irrelevant.

Spoiler

Doesn't matter if you got to the Collector base fast to save your entire crew as they're all replaced, except for conveniently the few you save even if you turn up late.

He said that he had people die in the previous games and within this game.

 

[zethren]

Has it been yet to be determined as to whether or not Legion will be a squadmate? He showed up so late in ME2 and it would be a shame if he wasn't recruitable for ME3.

I was most disappointed with how

Spoiler

no one from ME2's ship crew returned. I miss Kelly and Engineers Donnelly and Daniels and Mess Sergeant Gardner. I was really looking forward to their return not their replacements.

I need a crew of him and Wrex. Will get Vega and Ashley (

Consider all ME2 crew gone. We already knew that going from ME2, as there is too much variety among who lives and who dies.

Well Garrus could have died in ME2 and he's a squadmate in ME3.

Though that's probably just fan catering.
