Yeah, all that whinging from Ashley because I took down the Reapers minions with Cerberus is annoying.
Sooooo can someone explain galactic readiness to me? It's my understanding that every match of multiplayer you play increases the galactic readiness level by a few percent. However, I've played a whole bunch of multiplayer matches and my readiness hasn't changed whatsoever. It's still sitting at 50%. I'm almost done with the story now and obviously I want to get the two achievements that are tied to this. Any help?
EDIT: if it helps, in the war room and in the multiplayer menu I'm always given the message, "System Offline: Unable to retrieve Galaxy at War status." Uhhh

I am just at the beginning of the game and I seriously wonder why Ashley is so mad that Shep worked with Cerberus when they seem to represent her space racist ideals very well.
Weird, it gets boosted by 4 percent for every match I play.

do you need to win perhaps?
Last match I lost, I got like 3%.
still hot though
Nah. Even going at it solo I've lost and got 2%.

In ME2 she basically says "I hate dem aliens too but da Cerberus is A TERRURIST!!!derp!!"
Makes even less sense when I could lower my weapon any damn time in ME2 on PS3

Waiit guys.. So if I already brought Ashley onto the team I can't get Miranda?
Miranda
doesn't join you, regardless. She gets a relatively substantial side-story though.

Funny thing is, you can holster your weapon in the iOS Mass Effect Infiltrator game

Apparently there is a Bioware employee on the forums who is manually fixing the galaxy at war issue for people experiencing it. I shot him a PM, so hopefully he can help me.
It's great that he's willing to do it, but it's ridiculous that I now have to potentially wait days to finish this game to get the proper ending, and that all the multiplayer time I invested had no impact on my campaign. This is an origin account problem, so surely a lot of people are experiencing it. And yet it's getting no attention.

If you read Miranda's file is LotSB,
you'll find out that she's been trying to see if she's able to conceive a child. She isn't, too much genetic modification has made her infertile.
Only a couple cutscenes are kind of bad in regards to framerate and some areas with a lot of NPCs chug a bit but overall it's a pretty good port. It's never slowed down in combat for me and I'm 32 hours in.

Not to dismiss the issue, but you don't need the galaxy at war risen at all for the best ending.
Good to hear. I'd still like to unlock the achievements though.

Ha, I totally forgot about Ashley's casual racism. Not that it ultimately stopped me in the first one, though. And she's super hot in this game, while Miranda does look a bit weird. Man, decisions, decisions.

Is this the point of no return? If not, how close am I?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Yup, you're there. No turning back after that.
This game needed another month or two in the oven for QA, for sure. During missions, I've run into 4 different game-breaking bugs, countless disappearing models, and one glitch that muffled my sound to almost nothing until I restarted all the way from the dashboard--quitting to the main menu wouldn't even do it. I never had these issues with 1 or 2.
post-dreadnought: I might be forgetting her attitude in ME1, but Ash
is pretty blatant with the space-racism in this one, when you go talk to her between missions, surprisingly. Saying she feels better shooting an alien than a human, calling shep's allies weird, geth 'flashy' somethings--I forget. I chalk it up to stronger characterization in this one, as it actually reflects in the rest of the crew this time. They don't like her at all, Joker being the most vocal.

I truly pictured the face in my icon when I read that email.
Yep, sometimes the camera just stares at nothing during dialogues.

I mentally substituted 'Shepard Brah' when I read it.

Hey guys, I have just downloaded a save file from ME2, how do I import it to ME3 because it seems like ME3 can't detect it.

the best moment for me was when the camera panned to Garrus who wasn't there saying "nice to see you"

Ashely a space racist? Can someone refresh my memory because I don't remember anything she said from the first two games.

I can't believe you can do this to him
Wow. Great scene. Crazy how different things can turn out. "I made a mistake!"
Hope I'm not the only one who shed a manly tear when Mordin sacrificed his self ;...(
Just talk to her in-between missions. She's blatant about it.
Yes. Including a few choices you probably forgot you made.

You want it in the Documents/Bioware/Mass Effect 2/Save Folder.
I encountered that sound glitch several times in ME2 and in ME3's demo. I'm not sure what causes it.
I thought it was decent. It's not as awful as I was imagining.

I guess I should start doing that. She's never really interested me so I've always ignored her.

Oh so I have to install Mass Effect 2 again >_>
No, just create the folder.

It is. It made me lose interest in the series completely, it was shocking.
I followed the series for years and now have no interest in it. Sure, I'll still play the mp and maybe do another playthrough because the gameplay is fun.
But it was one of the worst endings to any game I've played, and it was at the end of a story heavy trilogy. Disgusting.
