And lol 15 hours a day remind me of my DA:O days x) epic.


I tried to do as many side quests as possible put the story is so good that I was impatient :D
Also I explored for War Assets but in many systems the Reapers were up my ass really quick so I only got like 15-50% of the assets. Next time I'm gonna take it reaaaaal slow though.
Oh and I played on normal I think

I had that controller laying around and painted it. :)
It's pretty simple as long as you can be patient enough to keep the layers thin.
I painted it in March 2010, and so far I've played through a bunch of games and even dropped it a bunch of times, and the paint is still intact. OvO More pictures here.
I did the same for a bluetooth and USB stick, and I've been thinking of giving my PC the same treatment, but I don't have enough paint anymore and the machine is beat up enough as it is, so never mind lol.

Bol.com are great, I always get my stuff there but I hate the delivery system we have. :\
I just order at the local store and have the guy call me when the stuff arrives so I can pick it up when I leave work.


Oooh that is so awesome! I don't have the patience to do that )=

You can run through the systems if the reapers come. Just run through and scan an area and hit the edge of the system before they get you. If you scan something, get out of the system, and try to nab it next run through. It's a little difficult sometimes, but doable.

Almost 20 hours of gameplay. Like... Wow... Awesome game.

Have a few gripes so far, but they aren't game breaking or anything.

Damnit, I need to finish ME2 ASAP. I'm just a 3 main missions away! I scanned the shit out of the planet for Jacob's loyalty for resources, and now the radar to find his ghost dad disappeared :soosasd:

As a fan of the Mass Effect series, I am very disappointment. I'm only 26 hours in but it's Dragon Age 2 all over again. It feels very rushed.

I REALLY hate how developers are trying to "casualize" the RPG genre to appeal to the brain dead Call of Duty crowd. It really shows in Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and a bit in Skyrim. Mass Effect was never touted as full blown RPG experience but it's amazing how many corners they cut this time.

And what did they do to my favorite returning squad member?
Spoiler!
:palm: :palm: :palm: I'm going to assume they're just trolling us. They really can't be serious...

Don't think I will be buying a Bioware RPG again. They just can't deliver the depth that they use to anymore. Maybe one day they'll return to their KOTOR days. As of now, their soul belongs to the devil, EA.

It seems the chart is still true.
Spoiler!



Despite my little rant, I'm having fun. I guess that is all that matters?

It definitely does feel like ME2. The gameplay is superior to ME2 in most areas but many of the RPG elements seem to be worse. They aren't really bad but it is a noticeable step down from ME2. I haven't completed the game yet so my opinion my change later but I think that is unlikely.

Only things that seemed different to me, are the overall inventory/weapon customization, and a general lack of conversation choices.

I do hate the journal, all these quests are nice but they barely point you into a direction, they usually say to which starcluster to go or what ever but ugh...Still haven't finished one of the fairly early quests cuz I got no idea where to go lol ._.

Apparently this is NOT the last ME game. Just the last one with Shepard. At least that's what rumors are hinting at.

Yeah, this definitely isn't the last ME game, just the last with Shepard. I hope future ME games won't pale in comparison.

Well nevermind, I paid a little more attention and I saw that the starsystem is in the quest 'title' thingy. So you have atleast a little pointer in the right direction.

According to the records, I have played around 30 hours, of which 30 minutes might have been the actual single player.

Haven't been this hooked to multiplayer since Jedi Academy.
Love my Drell Vanguard, started off a little tricky since I'm so used to tank like characters, but now I'm easily getting the most kills with the weakest character health wise.

Does anybody else play Adept? I love how they made this class better and better throughout the series. Now I can pump out biotic combos at the speed of light :sohappy:

Tbh an asari adept is one of the best supporting classes. They can put mobs in stasis and use singularity. Works wonders in the final rounds when there are 3 atlas' coming at you with multiple phantoms and etc.
