MASS EFFECT 3

ME3 is gonna be really awesome, be great to see a story arc like the first game and the gameplay of the second. Don't really like the idea of being Kinect compatable though :/

The dialogue wheel Kinect stuff doesn't interest me at all, but after playing ME2 last night, I think Kinect will really benefit the games by using the squad command feature. The power wheel works decent enough, but it breaks the action compared to a more flexible control scheme like on the PC.

For example, I have Kasumi in my squad and she has Shadow Strike bound to the d-pad, however, it'd really be handy to just say "Kasumi - Overload" when a shielded enemy comes up as opposed to pulling up the wheel, selecting the power, and breaking the action.

If it works like it should, it'll make it a lot more seamless.

Yeh I suppose your right, it's just a matter of getting it to work with different accents, as im Scottish i had quite a bit of trouble using the voice commands in TC's Endwar and GRAW 2.

Again if it does work it means players can have seemless combat instead of going to the combat wheel to select a different command other than what you've mapped to the D-pad making the game more immersive.

Apparently ME3 is going to be at Comic Con.

They've said it's not going to be the same demos we saw at E3, but then again, they said the same thing about the DNF demo so we'll see.

There's also a new trailer rumored to come out, but it might just be a femshep version of the E3 one.

Let's all welcome BigMuscles McStrong to the team!

Precisely what the third game needs I think. Let's add a freaking back-up college football player to the team.

 

[Jay]

He looks just like Soap McTavish.

 

[Dave]

This game will probably be a 9.7

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

Nah, I'd be real surprised if it's anything less than 9.8, but to honest I can't see it getting any higher than 9.9

[Casey]

wtf?

 

[Logan]

PLAY ME2 GAH.

You're about to get a thread of your own.

Big announcement from SDCC was that the fans get to vote on what the Female Shepard looks like in ME3 marketing. There are six variants.

Number 5 is currently in the lead.

 

[Oobs]

I dont care about FemShep but I like number 5 and 2 the best

 

[Chris]

I don't see how anything but 2, 3, or 5 could win.

 

[Jay]

Voting on character designs?

Cancellation incoming.

 

[Logan]

Low blow man, low blow.

 

[Jay]

Low blow man, low blow.

< FAT AND BALD made a low blow.

 

[Logan]

The guy who stole your account played bayonetta?

At least he has good taste.

 

[Tarvis]

rofl

Assuming BioWare doesn't add another poll, number 5 seemed to win in a runaway.

Here's the default FemShep for 3 apparently.
