The downside to playing a game on/just before release is that should I be stuck on a quest, I can't look up any directions.

hypocrite lecteur posted:It isn't an exaggeration in the slightest. I've played this game for like 2 hours and there have already been multiple instances of "defend this open area where enemies will literally drop out of the sky to attack you". It's really lovely design. Nope. They're dropped off by shuttles, sometimes directly, and sometimes into a room above you that you can't access, and that's on open maps; on the closed maps, they simply get sent out from the areas you haven't yet reached, or, again, from shuttles. Enemies don't ever come from nowhere, not like Dragon Age 2.

So, about fifteen hours in, just returned to a besieged Citadel. There's a new gun, the Talon, in a room with a door I can't open, near the beginning. How do I get it?

Alectai posted:Needs about four shots, and he gets closer each time, the last one is basically a "Gird Your Loins" moment, as it's charging at point blank range, you just need to stay still and paint the fucker, and you'll trigger a bombardment just before he fires. Hmm, after looking at the IGN video, it's not actually that hard. Start on the far right (or left, doesn't matter). When the beam starts getting close to you, move left, rolling if you have to. When the beam's above you, move back to the right as much as practicable to make sure you've got plenty of space, if necessary. Don't be reluctant to roll no matter how close the shot is to finished if the beam is almost on you: a few more seconds targeting is a lot faster than doing the whole thing again. Oh, and you'll want to roll on the last one. Don't know if you need to, but better safe than sorry.

God, turrets are so much less annoying in single player. A shotgun blast and a charge just about does it by level 40 or so.

Is the mission that says "committing themselves to the attack" a one-way trip to the end of the game, or will I still have room to boost my Galactic Readiness to max in multiplayer afterwards?

Dr. Abysmal posted:Speaking of this, I was surprised that they included the names of the red shirts that died in the Collector attack on there but not Navigator Pressly. No, he's on there, near the top. Can anyone find Tank's post with the necessary Galaxy at War scores for the various endings, or will 5462 (with readiness of 79% or so factored in) be enough for all of them?

Fhqwhgads posted:This really upsets me. As someone who never really does multiplayer anything, I figured I'd buy the game on the 360 because I have the ME1 and 2 saves for it, burn a few Amazon gift cards, and now I have to pay even more and am going to be time-limited into beating the game to get the 'good' ending. Had I known that, I would have just bought the PS3 version and downloaded savegames. If you're a completionist, you don't need multiplayer.

I hate banshees so very very much, with their teleporting and instant-kill attack. I doubt it would even help to turn the difficulty down.

Nephilm posted:Well, that's good for the game to make you feel that way I guess, but ME3 rapidly approaches a point where it barely qualifies as an RPG, at least in the western traditional sense, and it also makes me question what RPGs you have played in your life for that context.

The Year 20XX posted:Quarian/geth question: I just blew up the Reaper on Rannoch, and now I have to choose between the quarians and the geth. There isn't any sort of "peace" option. Did I not do enough to work towards peace, and now I have to choose one or the other? If you're talking about the first choice, no. First you have to pick the geth or the quarians, telling Legion to keep uploading the data or stop. Then, if you have the reputation and paragon points, you can get both the quarian and geth fleets. You also need the choices from 2 and 3 that Tank mentioned previously, like having Legion and Tali both loyal and saving Admiral Koris.

jcp982 posted:I don't get the design logic in this game that says let's break up the action with a lot of slow walking. It happens like 5 times in the game. Why?? Also, the turret section between talking to people before beginning the assault on Earth. It breaks the flow tremendously, and it's not even interesting.

LazyDivey posted:So this NG+ happy unicorn and rainbows ending rumor is bogus right? IGN claims otherwise. Beats me. On the one hand, it's a weird thing to say if it's not true, and you'd think they'd explore it fully, but on the other hand, video game 'journalism'. Once I finish my second playthrough, I'll do one and see. (My first one had some stuff I didn't like, so I'm going with this instead.)

Shroomie posted:How in the blue gently caress are you supposed to paint the Reaper on the Quarian homeworld with a targeting laser without getting loving killed? I know exactly what you mean. It's easy if you know the trick, and impossible otherwise. What you need to do is start on the right edge, and move left to avoid the laser, rolling if necessary. Once it passes above you, move right a few feet so you have plenty of space to continue moving left and finish the strike. After each strike, move to the right edge again, and repeat, though the Reaper beam will reach you more quickly since it's moved closer to you. At the last one, when it's slow-motion, I'm pretty sure you don't have to move. I rolled, because that's what happened in the IGN video, but whatever. Also, even though rolling doesn't help the targeting laser, no matter how close you are to firing, roll out of the way if the beam is close to you. It's tempting to keep moving normally, but not worth the risk. All of this works the same for beginning on the left and moving right, of course, but I figured it'd be clearer to explain the strategy for one direction and note afterwards that either one works.

Smash Tokio posted:I wish this was a possibility as well. Give the fans their happy rainbow ending and this. That would be great. Go out of your way to be Failshep, and the Reapers can win. Go out of your way to be Awesomeshep, and the galaxy isn't hurt too horribly. Sure, it's a little ridiculous for the Reapers to be dispatched so cleanly, but given the nature of the Crucible they kind of balance out.

Someday posted:Say I want to progress the plot and I stick to the priority missions for a while. Will doing so lock me out of any side-missions or assignments? Does the game prevent me from gaining or completing quests if I move into Act 2 or Act 3? Is there a point of no return? Trying to stay away from the thread, sorry if it's been covered. Yes. They'll stay for a couple missions, especially since several sidequests can't be completed until you've done two or three, but generally you have to be on the ball for those.
