Excited Toombs is exited. If the Mass Effect Multiplayer is anything like I hope it will be, I'm actually kindof looking forward to it now.
Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Trailer Goes "Special Forces"
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Lame. If I wanted to play Shadowrun, I'd fucking play shadowrun. I want a sequel to Mass Effect 2 in which nothing was cut from the core game in order to make room for the multiplayer. Everything I've heard about this game has made me more and more leery about buying it. Now, having seen the trailer for the multiplayer, I think I'm going to cancel my preorder and wait for gamefly.
I loved Cortana! *disgust* I'm insulted by the notion that adding a pair of synthetic tits to a character is going to make me like her more or less than I already did. I enjoyed EDI's banter with Joker. I never once desired to fuck her. Christ, when can we stop the marketers and panderer's from ruining good, functional things (like games) that worked fine the way they were.undeadsuitor said:Plus EDI was part of the Normandy 2 which is now defunct and replaced with an Alliance Normandy 3. Which..I'm guessing wouldn't be built to house an A.I. So, in order to still be apart of the crew she would have to have a mobile housing, and since shes interesting in learning more about humans, why not make it a human body.ravenshrike said:EDI is a full AI in a platonic relationship with Joker. Perhaps she merely created the body to give Joker's psyche a tangible object to tie her intelligence to rather than "the ship". Either that or she wanted something more mobile and able to interact with others than the ship to house her intelligence in.Raiyan 1.0 said:Say, Bioware, why don't you talk about what you've done to EDI, hmm?

Sure, it's a little fanservicy.(honestly it could have been worse) But hey this is the game with an entire race of bisexual blue space lesbians who live 1000 years and whose past time is mind sex. Played completely straight. If Bioware can make Asari endearing characters who you can relate to (I cant tell you how many times the Salarian and his asari daughter in law have tugged at my heartstrings) then I have no reservations that they'll make robot-lady EDI work was well.
It looks interesting I suppose, and since my brother has demanded I obtain my own copy so we can do the Multiplayer I truly hope it's rather interesting, but the only thing about I'm actually truly curious about it is the last little snippet why the 'Ell I didn't notice I was reading it partially backwards.
The EDI thing is rather odd as well though...

The release date is still March 9.TheNumber1Zero said:
OT: Well, this thread has pretty much sold me on not buying ME3 until it hits the bargain bin. It's pretty clear from all the ads, trailers and leaks that they just shit all over what made the first game good to begin with. The second game started it and the third is going to finish it. It's suffering the same fate as Dragon Age. Much improved gameplay being treated as a fix for a vastly inferior story. It's fucking stupid, and it honestly makes me die a little inside whenever I see a company doing something like this.
The original Mass Effect was an amazing game, with one of the best sci-fi narratives yet told, in any medium. It suffered from some gameplay issues, but the story more than made up for it.
Mass Effect 2 was a decent game, with tighter and more focused gameplay/level design, but with a primary story that shit all over itself and failed on almost every narrative level. The only reason that game was bearable was because 85% of it was recruitment/loyalty missions, and those were generally pretty well told.
Mass Effect 3 seems to be keeping this trend, and, to all appearances, will have vastly improved gameplay with all sorts of nice tweaks to make it damn near perfect.... but with an utterly broken, stupid, and spectacle-focused narrative.
It's really fucking depressing to look at how the Mass Effect series has progressed.
The EA Origin Licensing Agreement is actually rather user-friendly. It lists in bold all the hot-button areas of controversy with their terms, and they've changed them to be more accessible overall.CounterAttack said:
I guess that if I were in your shoes, I'd read the bold areas of the licensing agreement. If you think the terms are reasonable, install it. if not, don't. Just know that the hysteria over Origin on the Escapist is just that. Hysteria.
Speaking as someone who's had Origin installed for almost 4 months now, I'd call the charge of its intrusiveness highly overblown. My computer has run exactly the same with it installed as not, and I've not gotten any new influx of spam that would denote EA selling my data to the highest bidder, as some of the crazier conspiracy theorists claim.
See bioware. This is what happens when you listen to fan boy/girls on BSN( I would have at least thought people would have worked that out after dragon age 2 ). I swear right now that body is heading out an airlock along with the Turian council member and the IM.Raiyan 1.0 said:Say, Bioware, why don't you talk about what you've done to EDI, hmm?

On a more positive note I wonder if the races and radical abilities. The Salarian infiltrator seems like a cool one to make.
I'm actually quite looking forward to the MP now.
It doesn't look bad, and an intergalactic war is not something that can be won by just 1 guy and his party van.
It will be very interesting to see what "the other guys" are doing while Shephard is flying around mining minerals.

Actually, the multiplayer sounds like a great way to flesh out the universe, show some of the battles that aren't just happening on Shepard's end.Andy Chalk said:Sure, and if I had a Ferrari in the driveway I could get to work in six minutes.Soviet Heavy said:
You can tack anything on to anything, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to add anything of value to the original. Mass Fortress 3 might be a blast, but does it really serve the series? I say no.
My point is EDI was never a robotic femme fatale. Equating EDI to Maria from Metropolis is a bit like casting Megan Fox as Mother Teresa in an NC-17 biopic.Zachery Gaskins said:So Tricia Helfer resumes her typecasting as a robotic femme fatale. What's your point here?Raiyan 1.0 said:Say, Bioware, why don't you talk about what you've done to EDI, hmm?

The same reason that point and shoot cameras make a shutter noise - it'll have been based on a peice of tech that did once make that noise and now people expect it
