Cleatcleat posted:Sounds like at best we'll hear general ideas of what makes a good Mass Effect game, and maybe some concept art for ME4. Will be nice if they touch a little on the ME3MP team doing stuff for ME4, just how involved are they really. Besides the usual fears, doom, and gloom of ME4 the main thing I'm hoping is they don't just copy the ME3MP as ME4 gameplay entirely. Take the same idea sure, but make them more complicated. Trying to find the right words so I don't be all "do this but better", I mean I did play 300 or 400 hours of killing a target, standing a circle to hack, and escorting a glowing ball already in 2012. I'd like to do something different for 2016/2017. ME3 MP was drat good, but there's a lot of potential there they never touched upon. I'd love to see actual co-op missions instead of simple horde mode.

I, for one, would love to see some form of co-op where they actually try and weave it into some kind of narrative; whether they just have you play defined characters (Asari Biotic, Turian Soldier, etc.) like a Left 4 Dead knock-off following a linear storyline, or something more unique like the flashpoints in The Old Republic, where they still allow players to have some control over what character they are playing even while the story is unfolding. Of course, the amount of effort required to do it in a not-lovely way would be astronomical, so I wouldn't hold my breath for anything even close to that.

a L4D style Mass Effect game would be interesting if it were dealing with the fallout of the Reaper invasion, or it could be during First Contact or the Skyllian Blitz. Alls I know is I would play a L4D style Mass Effect game, especially since it will be like playing Battlefield, thanks to the Frostbite 3 engine  Maybe we could just ignore the story but it is still Bioware so we can't have that

I have a copy of Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 and on the box it says it comes with kasumi, shadow broker and overlord missions. What I'm concerned about is guns. ME2 didn't seem to have many guns to me. I have this Cerberus network thing downloaded as well, I'm guessing that's the DLC. TL;DR I googled it and it's still unclear to me whether or not I gain access to all the weaponry with the Cerberus download.

The Mattock, Phalanx and Geth Shotgun are part of the Firepower Pack and the Incisor comes with the Aegis Pack, which are both separate downloads ($1.99 each on the PSN).

Cerberus Netwerk gets you the following 5 DLC: - Normandy Crash Site & Firewalker Pack have no new weapons - Zaeed - The Price of Revenge: Comes with the Firestorm heavy weapon - Cerberus Weapon and Armor: Gives the Eviscerator shotgun - Arc Projector: Gives the heavy weapon of the same name Kasumi - Stolen Memory comes with the Locust SMG. Overlord & Lair of the Shadow Broker have no new weapons. You're missing several guns that were released as item pack DLCs. If you really care about having all of the guns for some weird reason, they're available on the PS3 in one package together with new armours as the N7 Complete Arsenal Bundle. It's really not worth the money though. Raygereio fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jul 19, 2014 |

Speaking on ME2 and guns. That mission with the 3 YMIR mechs and the 20 crates. That is the worst mission in the series. The "reward" for saving everything, which can only be done by cheesing the game, isn't worth it. gently caress you Aria.

I never finished that mission with anything other than exactly 8 crates. (I assumed that those were the 8 crates that the first YMIR was going to destroy before I targeted it.) Lycus fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Jul 19, 2014 |

If you fire it over the ridge you start behind it will home in on each mech while they're still inactive. Hitting a single one will activate it but it come stomping toward you and not shoot any of the crates.

It's perfectly possible without the Cain as well, bring the mattock and incendiary rounds, strip the armour off immediately then singularity stuns the mechs. Simple.

It's pretty crazy how much easier the Cain makes the final boss fight, especially since its easy to replenish heavy weapon ammo during the fight. It almost feels like cheating.

The Cerberus 3shot shotgun is the best weapon next to the mattock. The vanguard can use both to max potential, what I'm saying is that you need to be a vanguard.

Speaking of DLC, Bioware STILL haven't released the Blackstorm heavy weap/Terminus armour or Dr. Pepper DLC for ME2 on 360 & PC!. The Terminus gear was a Gamespot/EB exclusive in early 2010 that was never actually made available for public purchase. Here's the wikis on it: https://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Terminus_Weapon_and_Armor and https://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Downloadable_Content It's just baffling that they released all the DLC for PS3 back in 2011 (as the N7 Complete Arsenal Bundle) but not 360 or PC. I couldn't imagine playing ME2 without space goggles!    I feel sorry for peeps that missed out on that rad Dr. Pepper headgear, especially since the promo didn't run here in Australia. The Sentry Visor looks so future cool on Shepard in conversations and really completes the Blade Runner vibe when walking around the Citadel and Omega. I had to buy Dr. Pepper codes off Ebay in the USA for a few bucks each to get them. Thankfully for PC players, you can just use one of the ME2 DLC bittorrents floating around which simply have the DLC modded to remove copy protection, but there is literally no way for Xbox players to get either DLC pack now unless they JTAG their console. If you got the DLC back in 2010, you can still re-download it via Bioware's site here: https://social.bioware.com/user_entitlements.php psyman fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Jul 22, 2014 |

The Dr. Pepper codes were reusable so people from the US posted them in the thread and everyone just used them. No purchase necessary.

"Oh, we're being ambushed by a gunship and a bunch of enemies!"  <kills everything in a few hits, one-shots the gunship with a heavy weapon, takes it to 1% three times.> it's too strong, I'll handle this [with some acrobatics and a super punch] I'd really rather just skip Kasumi entirely, because the whole premise is just dumb. "Hi, I'm the first human Spectre, I'm so famous and well known that Cerberus spent billions specifically to revive ME, because nobody else could unite the galaxy and lead it against the Reapers like I can. Also this is my favorite shop on the Citadel. But now I'm wearing a suit/dress so I can tell some uber-rich well connected thief who apparently stole the Statue of Liberty and the Conduit mini-relays that I'm actually some other famous criminal" (And I love that there's no additional dialogue from any other characters Joker: "You know that person with you on the last mission you went out on? ......... But that's just my opinion though, don't go spreading it around") Put another way, the Kasumi mission is dumb, Kasumi is dumb, and since her mission in ME3 is bugged, there's no reason at all to have her. On the topic of playing Dress-up DLC though, is there any way to get that N7 hoodie for ME3 now that it's years past buying certain collectors' versions of the game?

That thing was great against everything and easily took care of the Vanguard's usual weakness to armor or distant enemies. I always took Kasumi's mission as soon as possible just for that gun (the fact that the mission is pretty fun was a bonus) since the starting weapons are such crap. I was sad to see how far it had fallen by ME3.

Set the Plotflag to -1. Save and you're done. It'll be unlocked the next time you load your save. Make sure to keep a backup of Coalesced.bin. If you're going to do any multiplayer, restore the original file first. An edit like this that only affects the singleplayer ought to be fine and I'm pretty sure there haven't been any bans for ME3 modding, but it's probably better to play it save.
