It's best to let it die anyway, they hosed up everything good about ME3:MP and made everything worse until the very end when they fixed OHKOs and thats about it.

I really wanted to give this one a try because I came into me3 so late but honestly you're better off playing other multiplayer games. What's everyone playing right now? I'm enjoying splitting my time between forza, Battlefield one, gran turismo sport, and yes, even star wars battlefront 2.

I thought this would be my mp game for a while because the changes in movement and the weapons were fun, but they announced they weren't patching in any new content around the time they said the single player would get no dlc. This game is just such a gigantic bummer, dude.

It's so drat amazing how much they screwed up the MP at the beginning Shotguns should be shot from cover!! We made the krogan less krogany, also we made the headbutt not lock onto enemies The horrible, horrible lagging They fixed this stuff for the most part but it was wayyyy too late

Did they ever add any unique cool new characters to the MP roster?

They put out two batarian characters and that's about it for unique stuff. Most of the post release characters have recycled power sets. I imagine they didn't have much of a budget or team to work with once the game bombed and EA started pulling the plug so they did what they could.

I just found my first research station and there's like 1,000 different items in three different categories. No way to compare anything. This is even worse than the DA: Inquisition crafting. I usually craft in games but this is such a mess I don't even want to start. EDIT: I already have an Avenger rifle. Why is it prompting me to craft one? Do I have to build one before I get access to an improved model? EDIT 2: On my first mission the loadout screen was pretty weird. I wanted to bring the Predator pistol instead of the Charger, but I could only put mods in the Charger even though the Predator also has two empty slots. No explanation.

They also went nuts with the weapon mods this time around so you never felt like you were progressing with a gun since there were three variants of each gun and a bajillion mods loving up your chances at loot you'd want

I still play mp. Most times I log on its no trouble to find games. I dont really play online games much but I have fun with it. Its not call of battlefield or anything, so if thats what you want, you should probably just play those instead.

I just wanted ME3 mp but prettier, smoother movement and better shooting, with more unique characters, more unique weapons, more unique abilities, more maps, and more objective variety. Unfortunately it only really delivered on graphics, movement, and shooting. Everything else felt like a rehash or dumbed down.

The MEA mp is just the ME3 mp with better movement, better shooting, a better ability system and the sync kill problem fixed. It still suffers from the match objectives being boring, being loving P2P and being entirely based around credit grinding. The sad thing is, they were so close to fixing the objective problem - their experimental linear map was fantastic and if they the studio hadn't closed that's probably the direction all future maps would have gone in.

The environments are nice. Alot of good work there. I went down to Eos and for a little while it started to feel like ME again. I think my expectations are low enough that played in brief stretches I'll get my money's worth. I've also found several "Turian calibration tools."

I enjoyed Eos. In my opinion the biggest crime the game commits is that it's dull.

Pff, or all that asset creation for trees and other living things like wildlife? Three desert planets is the perfect metaphor for how EA handled Mass Effect: it's barren and past its prime.

I only remember two; there was Eos, the sassy krogan one, and...the one with the lovely city that had that door with the long loading times? Or is that more of a toxic planet

the toxic planet def counts as a "desert planet" for the purposes of this discussion desert levels are the mario water levels of WRPGs. like nobody does them good, except AC: Origins obviously

I think half the problems with the game would matter less if the cast was anywhere close to as charming as me2's. There's no one I remember fondly at all.

I liked Vetra but I dunno if that's because she was a good character or because I had residual fond feelings from Garrus, one of the greatest RPG companions of all time.

Tonight's victory was figuring out how to mod my pistol when the interface kept insisting on adding the mods to the one at the top of the list. Combat's sort of annoying, with enemies constantly swarming. It's like they want every player to be a Vanguard and rush in and punch things in the face. I use to love biotic combos, like blowing up a singularity but enemies seem to avoid clumping up. Is it just dumb to do anything other than go combat combat combat?

I remember Tech being extremely good for comboing all day long in singleplayer. I think most of the power buffs and fixes the multiplayer got don't apply to singleplayer sadly, so you'll never get the amazing version of combo detonations or the pet drone.

I'll browse the internet for builds. I really don't want to have to zip around every drat fight like a screaming squirrel. I don't have the interest or the skills for it.

A shame that the Platinum mp scene died, at least in Europe. Had a good salarian + batarian combo going on with a friend, the special Platinum boss mobs really had you put in some effort. gently caress the hack objectives though.

moist turtleneck posted:incinerate and overload all day Yeah you can't go too terribly wrong with this. Combos ain't what they used to be but it's still something, and having these two abilities lets you burn through armor/shields as needed Another surprisingly fun thing to do is combine biotic charge with the asari sword and become a ninja jedi One of this game's surprising achievements is including a krogan warhammer but somehow making it boring as poo poo to use

They took ME2/3's combat engine for linear and close quarter combat and tried to add open-world + jetpacks. It also changed MP because there are very few enemy-spawns where you can get them clumped together to maximize AoE skills.

Hoping this approach works better with the way combat flows in this game. I have incinerate, overload and energy drain so that should be more opportunities for combos while also giving me anti shield and anti armor. I think my Sentinels were always pistol/SMG. No idea if they serve the same purpose in this game.

The only good planet was the one where you don't use the nomad. is this secretly also the ME:A single player thread, btw, or did I somehow totally fail to find it? because i just beat the game and i have thoughts.

The Hammerhead was superior to the Mako in every way and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you and to themselves.
