Sorry if this has been asked before. A quick search/scan read of the thread didn't flag up anything.

Hmm already experienced a system freeze. Also has anyone else been experiencing a crackling sound with this game? I tried messing around with the audio options but it seems to be tied with the visual effects? On PS3

What's the matchmaking process like for multiplayer in the PC version of ME3? I bought the CE for both 360 and PC and I'm trying to decide which one I should keep.

I played the two previous games on PC but would be OK with porting my save game/character to 360 if Xbox Live makes a big difference in being able to find multiplayer games.

If you dont already have the DLC, only buy Lairs of the Shadow Broker, which is awesome from beginning to end, and just read the stories of the rest.

Very first unlock with 160 BIOWARE FUNBUCKS I had laying around for some reason (Dragon age DLC I guess.) netted me the Black Widow, Its op as gently caress. It seems like the damage bonus you get from dropping cloak lasts just long enough for all three shots to get the bonus. Its a terror on brutes and atlases.

Just did the last mission that takes place on Rannoch and all I can say is :psyduck: (HUGE spoilers follow)

I told Legion to upload the reaper code, which ends with him pulling a Poochie and the entire migrant fleet being blow apart and crashing in a million fiery bits right in front of Tali, prompting her to rip her mask off and throw herself off a cliff. Just awesome.

Really though, that was an amazing scene. Going to replay it just to see the opposite choice play out. In the last couple hours that I've been playing I've seen the whole "we don't have to worry about continuity because this is the last game" mentality show through.

:psyboom: I have a feeling I'm going to be saving a ton just to see what happens with what choice and proceed from there.

gently caress vanguards in multiplayer.

Playing an infiltrator with an overzealous vanguard on your team is annoying as gently caress.

"Oh let me just line up this snipershot. OH THE VANGUARD RAN INTO THE GROUP AND KNOCKED EVERYONE BACK."

It's okay, once you start playing on silver the idiot vanguards who can't keep their pants on will spend most of the game bleeding out in front of turrets while you hang out at across the map, getting hammered listening to Rush while popping heads off Nemesi and saying hello through Guardian mail slots all day having intense inner monologues about potential, like, Elcor wisdom, man.


Then you hit gold, and your super buffed headshots don't damage through shields anymore and you're running around in circles mainlining speedballs just to stay inches ahead of the phantom instant death glow sticks, giant robots with "feels good, man" painted on their auto dick-shattering cannons, and Enkindlers know what else because nothing you do works anymore but you keep bringing the dead back to life while invisible so maybe it's the drugs, maybe you're Space Jesus reincarnated and never realized it, maybe it's all just, like, a game man. Can't make space-rent playing bronze.

Grunt spoilers! They aren't too specific, so they're somewhat safe to read, but they spoil the end of his mission sort of. You have him hold off a bunch of bad dudes while you run like a wuss, and he pretty much goes into Krogan Extra Beast Mode and smashes the gently caress out of a whole bunch of bad dudes, getting hurt but still getting up and wrecking poo poo, then he suddenly tumbles over a cliff with more bad dudes chasing him. You get to your shuttle like "drat bro that was epic, poo poo sucks tho" but suddenly he comes around a corner all bloody and sort of collapses into Shepard all "Does anyone have something to eat?" :black101:

More specific spoiler: the bad dudes are REAPERFIED GUDDAMN RACHNI

I just found this guy. Without being too spoilery, some items you get can only be delivered after a pretty major event happens at the Citadel. When that event happens, spend some time walking around. There's a lot of conversations, new Fedex quests, and people to deliver to.

I really like how Cortez's character is portrayed so far. I'm playing Femshep so I won't be banging him, but the part where you catch him listening to the recording of his husband dying at Ferris Fields is a genuinely tender and moving moment. Also the ribbing between him and Vega is great.

Grunt mission spoilers: Grunt stays behind fighting off a horde of rachni to buy you time to get out of the caves safely, beats the hell out of a bunch of them, appears to get stabbed, still fights on and eventually falls into a pit with rachni still on him. Then, when you reach the shuttle, Grunt comes back all covered in blood but still very much alive. First thing he says? "Anyone got something to eat?"

Just create the folder. I don't think you need to have ME2 installed. On Windows 7 its under something like ocuments --> Bioware --> Mass Effect 2 --> Save. Alternatively, you can go to the Mass Effect 2 saves website, go to their forums and someone has posted a folder from their saved games folder that will let you have a valid folder to put your game into.
