LOLOLOL.

Yes.

 

[inky]

Edit: OK, removed spoiler joke

If it is any consolation to anyone I don't even know what happens. Other than DLC stuff and things spoiled by character reveals and artwork I know nothing of what happens in 3.

 

[Zeliard]

Now I wanna play Just Cause 2 again.

EDIT: INKY OH NO YOU DI'INT

 

[ape2man]

When will the street date be broken?

i say March 5, who is with me.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I hope this is a fucking joke.

CrazyDude just joked around but this ...

 

[shinobi602]

Ok I don't know what the FUCK inky just wrote because I clicked out of the thread as soon as I read

Spoiler

Eden Prime

, so I wasn't spoiled by anything. But seriously dude, WTF is wrong with you?

 

[Zeliard]

My eyes saw a broken spoiler tag and said "nope. uh-uh." and averted themselves to the side of the screen.

 

[Snuggles]

Guys stop posting spoilers wtf

Even tagged, it ain't cool.

Seriously. The game isn't even out yet. There's no reason to have any kind of ME3 spoiler up in here, even with tags you're playing with fire.

 

[Dresden]

inky was joking, but yeah, should keep even the jokes out of here for now.

 

[ape2man]

Guys, don't HIGHLITE the

Spoiler

spoiler

tags. Resist the temptation

 

[Blue Ninja]

Simple rules: no spoilers pre-release, tagged spoilers post-release.

Let's stick with that from now on, shall we?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Oh, hey a Mass Effect 3 OT, cool. I wonder what is been posted in.....

OH

 

[CrazyDude]

Everybody is just trying to get under your skin. They are not real spoilers. I didn't post a real spoiler, hell I didn't even post about the game.

 

[MisterAnderson]

If someone could answer this so I can bail the hell out of this derailed thread, I'd be most appreciative:

I've already completed ME2, but am about to dive into the DLC to get ready for ME3. Will whatever I do in those DLC's get saved onto my "post game save" or do I need to beat the game again for it to carry over (assuming there's anything to carry over).

PC version, if that makes any difference.

 

[DTKT]

If someone could answer this so I can bail the hell out of this derailed thread, I'd be most appreciative:

My best guess is that as soon as you save the game, it just update all the flags. So you just need to complete the DLC and save.

 

[Blue Ninja]

If someone could answer this so I can bail the hell out of this derailed thread, I'd be most appreciative:

Yes. You choose what savegame to import for ME3.

 

[derFeef]

If someone could answer this so I can bail the hell out of this derailed thread, I'd be most appreciative:

I got told DLC ties into ME3, so I guess if it's on your main (past game) save you should be good.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Oh man! You have to be careful with what you read a few days before a game like this releases.

Spoiler

Why are you reading this? You know better than reading spoiler-tagged material for a game just about to release. Practice some self-control!

Haha I actually highlighted this one.

Ugh

Assholes

 

[derFeef]

Tricking people to think it's a spoiler is as bad as posting an untagged spoiler anyway.

 

[Johnjamin]

Does anyone know when infiltrator and datapad are coming out? Haven't seen any info on them since the reveal in feb. need something to help pass the time and what better way than building up the readiness meter!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

JFC, even without the alien softcore this thread is out of control.

 

[JerkShep]

This last week of wait (fuck Europe) is gonna be hard I've tried playing other games but my mind if focused on Mass Effect damn. And here I thought that I could control my hype and keep expectations to a minimum to avoid disappointment

 

[Woo-Fu]

It is the last week before release, it is going to be crazy in here.

 

[GnarkillZA]

When will the street date be broken?

Not mine,I have to wait until next week Friday as well...curses
Some Wallmart already decided to get a head start.

Is the Mass Effect Invasion comic all the issues combined? Or just issue 1 ? Cuz that would be stupid.

 

[Blue Ninja]

That lithograph's smaller than I thought it would be. Oh well, I still have that awesome ME2 poster that came with the CE guide.

Oh, and I've said it before, but this needs to be in the ME3 credits.

Related videos took me to this one, which made me wonder if I made the wrong decision in my Shepard a man.

 

[ImLibo]

So the only way to get Shepard that pimp N7 Hoodie is the CE?

 

[shinobi602]

Yep

Once you start watching those videos, there's no going back. I still remember nearly dying from laughter after somebody had made a Reaper mix of 'Disturbia'.

Probably posted already, but here's some cool art: the matte painting of future San Francisco used in the live-action trailer.

And here's a BioWare blog post about how the Reputation system in ME3 works.

 

[Mxrz]

So. Um. Not to piss anyone off with spoilers or anything, but is there way for me to find out who, if anyone, from ME2 is still a squadmate without spoiling everything? A friend is telling me a store is selling copies already. I don't want to drop $63 only find out its just the ME1 guys and the fella from that shitty wing commander movie.

I should just wait, but the whole thrill of having a game early, I guess.

From what I've heard a lot of the ME2 guys aren't permanent squade mates

 

[heliosRAzi]

I know who is going to be in my personal squad when the game comes out.

 

[GSR]

Reputation system looks neat, and should help avoid the issues of playing neutral. It might be a little odd if you go full paragon and then whip out a high-level intimidate, but that's not that big a price for making balanced morality viable.

 

[Salvadora]

SPOILER CHARACTER makes a joke

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS_AOgoaHsQ&feature=channel

SPOILER CHARACTER

His opinion is why he will be a permanent squad member for me.

Better leave this stuff out of the thread.

 

[Blue Ninja]

There’s no penalty for mixing Paragon and Renegade: In Mass Effect 2, if you wanted to get the hardest Charm options, you had to play an almost completely Paragon character. We intended many of those Charms to be fun Easter eggs, but many players felt like they had to play pure Paragon to avoid being penalized by the loss of a dialog option. In Mass Effect 3, your Reputation score determines both Charm and Intimidate options, and that score is determined by adding your Paragon and Renegade scores together. You’re still rewarded for being a completionist player and doing as much content as you can, but you can do it as a Paragon or Renegade player without penalty.

We now have non-flavored Reputation: In Mass Effect 2, after a mission that didn’t have any major choices, we would give both Paragon and Renegade points, to show that even without a major decision, Shepard was more famous and had more influence as a result. This confused some players and made others angry – people who wanted to play pure Paragon didn’t like getting rewarded with both Paragon and Renegade points. In Mass Effect 3, whenever there’s a mission with no major decision, you will get Reputation points that add to your overall score but don’t carry a Paragon or Renegade flavor. The bar on your screen will grow, but the Paragon/Renegade ratio will remain unchanged.

And no spoilers, not even links to 'em. Check the OP.

 

[WanderingWind]

Welp. I am unfortunately a bad person. I preordered the CE twice, apparently. So...I'm part of the reason why that's not available.

Ethically, I should sell the extra copy for what I bought it for. Right?

 

[exYle]

And here's a BioWare blog post about how the Reputation system in ME3 works.

This is a fantastic article, and an amazing feature. I'm so glad and impressed that Bioware fixed this from ME2.

 

[bengraven]

Seriously, where's the pics of the ME2 squadmates like Jack?

Have I mentioned I like Jack?

I'll even take Miranda. Don't tell me they're still in the same gear.

Edit:

Oh, I didn't see the other thread:

Yeah girl. Yeah.

 

[Reave]

I installed that Google Chrome YouTube add-on for NeoGAF and... got spoiled on a character. Awesome.
