Mass Effect OST spinoffs?

I don't plan on selling my CE stuff. I'm not pressed for cash or anything, but goddamn. The opportunity cost creeps into my head. I am paying way too much to hold onto the DLC.

One of my biggest gripes about ME2 was the fact that at the final choice
you never got the option to hand the Collector base over to the Alliance.
Yes, the Collector base was a mass graveyard for humanity, but the Illusive Man was correct in that it is utterly foolish to throw it away before the Reapers arrive. I would never give it over to a xenocentric terrorist organization, but in a scenario with more options, I would phone up Hackett and pass the base over to the Alliance for research.
DAT MILKYWAY. I have to admit, as far as galaxies go, we are pretty damn aesthetic.
It's mine field of spoiler out there. I am so paranoid, I am blacking out the surrounding screen on youtube vids pertaining to ME in general (incl. soundtracks). Those trolls in comment section can fuck things up real fast.
This is a little off topic, but I have always felt like ME has a very Blade Runner-esque feel to it in certain parts (Omega, some of the Nightclubs, Illium) and the music manages to hit some of the same notes as Vangelis. In the spirit of posting awesome sci-fi/Mass Effect music, this is one of the best scenes of all time and one that I am sure the ME art team took inspiration from (at least in terms of color palette and tone):

I never got this kind of a vibe from ME2 unfortunately, and I'm entirely sure I won't find it in ME3 as well.
Who else is going to hunt for links to the ME3 DLC on xbox.com tonight? I'll probably be searching from 12AM-5AM but I at least have a reason to be up lol

I'll take the universe/characters in ME over basically anything except maybe Persona 4.
Just because the plot in 2 isn't strong doesn't mean the writing for the individual characters/universe as a whole isn't great.

I'm not sure how that would work.
Cerberus is well prepared for this moment. They would presumably jump on that shit as soon as possible. Way quicker than you could get any sizable alliance crew there to fend them off, and there's a decent chance the alliance would doubt Shepard at that point (or be too slowed down by bureaucracy).
So nothing short of Shepard bunkering down inside the base and killing everything Cerberus throws at him would work.

I agree about the noir tone of the scene, but the neon color palettes and dreary atmosphere definitely found their way into the ME universe in some capacity. I wish Bioware had been able to capture more of the gritty and aimless feel of Blade Runner in ME, or maybe it is just my incredible desire to see a true videogame version of Blade Runner.
Yeah they really drew from old sci-fi with that first outstanding soundtrack.
Therum Battle immediately struck me as an homage to, Dune.

The Blade Runner PC game was amazing. Did you never play it?
Has anyone seen any recent threads on /v/ about ME3? Oh my god they are glorious. Full to the brim with hyperbole and rage. Most of the posts are complaining about the most retarded things. I would not go lurking for them if you dont want to get spoiled though.
When the game finally comes out the shit storm on /v/ is going to be glorious. I also expect many ME3 love threads some time after release just like what happened with skyrim (IE hated to high hell before release, hated less loved more after release)

Lol, I had never heard of it before. Talk about some high quality voice acting.
Some people who've already played it say it's substantial but there isn't really a "hole" in the game if you don't have it while others feel it should be in the game. It's $10 and if you have been a fan since ME1 you'll probably want to buy it. Just avoid reading the description and looking at the image for it if you want to stay in the dark because they spell out plainly what the DLC is about.
I've heard that the main plot it roughly 20 hours long or very comparable to the other main story arcs in length (and the amount of sidequests is comparable to the previous games as well).
The main DLC will feature a new squad member. The jury is still out on how important the character is in the main game, but it sounds like the mission and character are more than just a throw away DLC package.

/v/ long ago decided to hate ME3 no matter what, so not a surprise at all. I feel sorry for the people so easily influenced.
I was watching a stream, the level design is much improved over ME2

People called Romanes they go the house?
From what I'm reading, that will largely depend on one of two things, as well as how this wraps up the Trilogy. Like as not, ME3 can't really be judged solely on its own merit.
Casey Hudson said in an interview 20ish hours for the main storyline, 40ish with all the side missions.

Good. I don't have time for 70h+ RPGs anymore.
Genius.
This actually makes sense; since Paragon/Renegade is now tied to your reputation, it doesn't really make sense to have Shepard being a dick to Ashley improve his ability to intimidate an uncooperative politician into sitting down and shutting up. I mean, it's not like it made sense under the old system either, but it seems like Bioware's recognized that.

All we know of for sure (I think, not sure if more info has come out) is that if you import from ME2, you start at Level 30.
Other import bonuses depend on your decisions in ME1 and 2.

Also, did I read correctly that your equipment carries over with you from ME2 to ME3?

Question guys.
I have a North American LIVE account with a NTSC 360. I'm overseas now, if I get a PAL Mass Effect 2 which is region free, will I be able to download the DLC from my American account and play it or does the disc have to be NTSC as well?
Basically is the DLC region locked? I really want to play Lair Of The Shadow Broker before ME3 comes out.
Thanks.

As far as I know, it's 12AM EST (20~ hours from now).

Does anyone know this?
I ordered the combo pack of regular game + the N7 Collectors Strategy Guide from Amazon.
The N7 Strategy guide states that it provides access to the online version, but the way it is stated could also mean it's just the MP-portion of it. Can I access the full e-guide when I buy the N7-guide? Pretty handy because I play with a monitor next to me all the time.

No clue. Best guess? Not much will change between the demo and this. Even less so for the PC version.
Anyone else with Origin not have the AT-12 Raider or M-55 Argus show up anywhere? Theyre not in my registered game content on BSN, haven't gotten any email codes, meanwhile the Kingdoms of Amalur stuff is on BSN, but none of it shows up in Origin itself, all thats there is what came with the DDE, ie From Ashes, Sountrack, N7 Pack and ME Artwork.
Im guessing Ill get some kind of email or update when the game is released, but juts checking to make sure Im not missing anything.

Waiting for Friday is going to be a bitch. Already have my save file ready from a Mass Effect 1&2 rerun, which I thought would take me longer. Tempted to unlock early.

Fans of the Mars OST track should check out Com Truise, for reals. Also, review copy finished. Video games.

They don't expire. One 70h+ RPG just lasts you as long as two 35+ hour RPGs, at half the cost.
No rush to complete, no time limits, so how much time you have really doesn't apply. If it takes you a month, 3 months, or 6 months, doesn't matter.

Absolutely love that Com Truise track. I think I've had some of their stuff pop up on Last.fm/Spotify but never paid them much attention. Think I will be now.
Any word on when reviews will be up? With the exception of listening to the first few tracks from the OST, I've been on blackout since the demo. So I won't be reading/watching any of them. But I'm just curious how close to release they're going up.

My embargo ends at 9AM PST, March 6th.
Where did you hear this? I was under the impression nothing you did in the Demo carried over.

Regarding the Final Choice in ME2
The problem with any Reaper based technology is the threat of Indoctrination. In my eyes letting anyone have it, even the Alliance, is too great of a risk. Let the FUCKER burn!
