Mass Effect 3

I thought you were in Las Vegas and was wondering why they would have an old actress on their billboards

Should I delete the second invisible note that appears when you try to edit the ME 3 page? The one that says "Please put anything regarding the ending in spoiler tags, as the game is very new and people are still working on finishing it." I mean it's been 7 months and it's obvious that spoilers should be tagged anyways.

If the need for spoilers to be tagged was obvious, there wouldn't be need for the note in the first place(or an entire addendum to the rules regarding this site's policy on spoilers, for that matter)...

That said, I'm of the opinion that after 12 months or the release of a sequel, whichever comes first, is the limit on spoilers... So I would respond with "no" to your question.

It is well past the time for general spoilers but certain important plot events should still be spoilered.

Slow day. Know what that means? Fan art! Reaper edition!

Varren.

Vorcha.

Krogan.

Pyjak.

Elcor and volus.

Drell/hanar hybrid.

Asari/salarian hybrid.

Kalros.

And for a bonus, Dragon Effect.

Most of that's already been posted. Except for the salarian-asari hybrid.

Bioware, take notes.

The varren was lame, the vorcha's OK, the krogan's lame, the pyjak's kinda OK, the elcor's cool, the volus is OK, the drell's OK, the asari/salarian hybrid's cool. Kalros is kinda lame.

I feel like the guy didn't really do enough with the concepts. For the most part, he took the normal species and added some metal here and there. Nothing particularly horrifying, or unique, or interesting.

Also, I really wish we got salarian Reapers. They could've been an Infiltrator-type enemy class, employing Cloaks to get close and maybe immobilize people so other Reaper units can get the kill.

Entire Reapers an infiltrators?

I actually thought the Yahg on Sur'Kesh was a salarian husk at first.

They look so different without business suits and omni-shields.

I just had a mental image of Harbinger wearing one of those Groucho noses with a mustache and glasses.

Yahg are Salarian Husks that went back in time to conquer the galaxy in a lower tech state. The Salarians know this and this is why they are contemplating uplifting them.

So I wrote a review of Mass Effect 3. It didn't quite come out how I liked, but meh.

New single-player DLC: the Groundside Resistance pack!

MP weapons: Striker, Typhoon, Piranha, Kishock, Acolyte.

New weapons: Venom shotgun, Executioner pistol.

According to the wiki, the Venom is a grenade launcher in shotgun form, while the Executioner is a single-shot pistol with AP.

-looks at stats- Correction: The Executioner is a one-handed freakin' Widow.

I just read the wiki. Not gonna lie, the Venom shotgun sounds really badass. I might buy the pack just for that. Plus, it's probably the only way I'm ever going to get the Typhoon, since the RNG keeps preferring to hand me drell customization options and geth weapon upgrades, which I hate, since I hate all geth weapons. My Pulse Rifle right now is a level V, my Plasma SMG level III, and the Javelin level II. My Falcon is also level VI, my Widow is level VII, and my Talon is level III.

I never use any of these weapons.

Typhoon+Destroyer=Most fun you'll have in Multiplayer. Can't wait to try it in SP.

Multiplayer weapons are seriously broken in single player, since they were designed to fight much tougher enemies than can be encountered in single player.

Not to mention in way more quantity.

I'm looking forward to trying that stuff when I go home for Christmas break.

You could've tried out most of them already if you just play MP.

Nudge nudge wink wink

No he couldn't. But he could see what a drell would look like with a yellow coat as opposed to a black one and keep getting upgrades for weapons that no one uses.

LIVING THE DREAM

Speaking of all these new MP weapons and characters, I have to ask: Why aren't they with Shepard? I'd trade Shepard's regular ground team for a team of N7 characters any day. Not only do they routinely face absurd numbers by themselves all the time, but they can do crazy things like teleport. Not to mention that some get stronger armor or are uber powerful Biotics.

I've finally started this game.

I never thought I like Uldina, but the new Council are really fucking annoying.

Why even use Shepard? Send in the N7s, Phoenixes, Vorcha and stuff.

Mainly because you want these guys on the ground fighting, and not playing diplomat. The latter of which is what Shepard's supposed to be doing, but for one reason or another he gets into another fight.
