Thanks for the link, but I'm not after a refund for the game, and I have played the DLC completely, so it's highly unlikely that I'd be applicable for a refund. Might give it a try though.

one with shepard in it, highly unlikely :( .. unless the indoctrination theory/ dream state turns out to be true.

a FPS = murder to the series

One with Shepard is all but confirmed. The very end of the game makes it very clear the next Mass Effect is going to be a prequel of somesort following Shepard. It clearly seems like BioWare's statment that ME3 will be the last time we see Shepard was a blatant lie :/ still, I heard rumors EA were ordering them to make another ME with Shepard (considering it's a nice cash cow for them) so not a complete surprise to be honest.

Watch the whole thing. It's made by an artist that originally wrote the music in the video for Mass Effect 2. Unfortunately, it didn't make it into the game but it's still amazing.

all i know about the first ending i chose is that i slaughtered the geth cause they were synthetics, i died, and now chances are joker is going to be boning ashley to restart the human race... what the hell? 200+ hours in all three games for what?

it would be weird for them to make a prequel with shepard , how cool of a story they could come up with that would top off the reaper invasion that was before it ..

maybe they could just do a spin-off with Legion (: the epic story of how he got shepards sholder :DD ( and the whole in his chest )

I think the war with the Turians could be pretty good,

Retake Mass Effect Child's Play fundraiser stopped

ChipIn fund to change Mass Effect 3 ending shut down at Penny Arcade's request after raising $80,000 for charity;

webcomic says ties to Retake Mass Effect movement were problems.

The Retake Mass Effect charity drive ended yesterday after the charity for which it raised $80,000--Penny Arcade's Child's Play--asked it to pull the plug.

Penny Arcade writer Jerry Holkins addressed the issue in a post on the webcomic's main site last night, saying there was a good amount of confusion among those who were donating to the cause.

"Apparently some of the people giving to the cause seemed to think that they were paying for a new ending to Mass Effect," Holkins said. "[Child's Play's project manager has] been asked what the goal is, and how much they need to raise in order to get the ending produced. We've also been contacted by PayPal due to a high number of people asking for their donations back. This is in addition to readers who simply couldn't understand how this was connected to Child's Play's mission. We were dealing with a lot of very confused people, more every day, and that told us we had a problem."

Additionally, Holkins addressed another reason for asking that the ChipIn fund be stopped, saying its goal to raise awareness for a separate cause by donating to Child's Play opened the door for other people to take advantage.

"I actually support this cause, but I am a pessimist, and I'm thinking about the next time something like this happens," Holkins said, "when someone attaches Child's Play to something we can't get behind, or leverages your history of generosity and fellow feeling for their own weird bull****. So, we need to have something like a policy on this. This is the best way I can think to say it: Child's Play cannot be a tool to draw attention to a cause. Child's Play must be the Cause."

In a post on the Retake Mass Effect page, the ChipIn fund's organizer (who goes by Robb on the site) explained why he chose to comply with the request. He also anticipated the reaction of the fund's supporters, saying, "There will be conspiracy theories regarding this. Many of the public statements by Penny Arcade have been dismissive or outright derogatory of our effort. I believe this is a failure on their part to understand our issues, but they are entitled to their opinion. Regardless, I want to stress that I do not believe for one second that this is an attempt by anyone at Penny Arcade to silence this movement."

After the March 6 launch of Mass Effect 3, fans upset with the trilogy's ending began petitioning developer BioWare to create an alternate ending to tie up loose ends, better incorporate player decisions made throughout the series, and provide more closure to the story. The Retake Mass Effect ChipIn fund was set up to collect PayPal donations for Child's Play, with the goal being to send a message to BioWare about just how much fans wanted their complaints addressed.

Ex-BioWare employee leaks info on Mass Effect 3?s post-ending DLC

It?s a good day to be an ex-employee, apparently. After a

disgruntled Rockstar employee saw fit to leak information pertaining to GTA V to ?get back? at the company, an ex-BioWare employee has done something pretty similar today, as well.

In his rather lengthy post at 4Chan, the ex-employee, apparently a lighting technician, first spoke of Electronic Arts and how they are ?stifling? the creative processes at BioWare. He pleaded at fans to not be angry with BioWare, who he believes still love making games and love its fans, and has requested to ?speak with your money? as it?s only language ?EA Games? understand.

Further on, the technician details what he is calling the ?Terminator DLC?. This is the post-ending DLC fans have been demanding, and according to him, has been in production for months.

Story-related details and spoilers at the link:

Do squad mates suffer weight limitations like Shepard does? I have seen a few small posts they they do not, but wanted to double check. I have been loading my squad with weapons that are the best regardless of how much weight thy have on the assumption they are not affected.

Nope

Oh FFS people. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :angry: :angry: :angry:

It was confirmed by one of the devs that squad mates do not have weight system. So load 'em up :)

Garrus is rocking Black Widow and Particle Rifle.

Finally got to finish the game after a couple of busy weeks, and I'm feeling sort of miffed. I don't know whether to be happy or sad, regarding the ending.

I chose the middle option, to combine everything.

However, this how I believe the ending should have been:

Paragon - Destroyed the reapers/mass effect technology but kept the life as it was, so current life could rebuild without the fear of the 'cycle' coming back.

Renegade - Controlled the reapers and kept the mass effect technology

Neutral - The same as what happened, except the mass effect technology wasn't destroyed.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
