I did a playthrough of the original using rookie rush: it worked, but it wasn't my chosen strategy. For me, however, the possibility of tactics like the rookie meat-shield don't detract from the original; they're exactly why it's the better game, at least in terms of gameplay ownership and...

It's pretty simple to guess what they'll be doing for clarification. 1) There'll be a scene where the Normandy picks up the squad mates: probably while Shepard is knocked out from the beam. Harbinger will chase them, thus explaining why he suddenly ups and leaves. 2) Maybe Harbinger will...

Final Fantasy 7 was the first time I can remember the internet exploding the way it has over the ME3 endings. It had a very similar feel to ME3's ending too: in that they both made me feel hollow and disappointed... Both end with a five minute coloured light show that has nothing to do with...

I just don't see Bioware releasing a dlc that does nothing but change the ending. It would be admitting they were wrong and had released an unfinished product. It might be true, but it's just not going to happen: it's bad from a business and artistic point of view. But what if dlc were...

There?s a lot of issues that people have about the pre-release hype for mass effect 3. The first post of the link below contains 10-20 referenced quotes from Bioware execs which simply don?t come to fruition within the game. http://social.bioware.com/forums/forum/1/topic/355/index/10056886/1...

Great series of podcasts guys, really enjoyed listening to your thoughts and experiences. Susan did a really good job of moderating the conversation too: making sure everyone got a say and that the conversation kept moving. Definitely gained a new listener here. The question of whether...

Did anyone else get this? I raced through the early main missions up until the one where there's a bomb on Tuchunka. I then went off gallivanting around the universe side-questing for a while reasoning that it would do the usual time pause RPG thing. Only, just when I was about to go back to...

And, at least in the destruction option, the catalyst suggests that all Reaper based technology would also be destroyed which presumably would include the FTL drives? That was my understanding at least.

I would love to have seen that ending. One of the most interesting things about the Mass Effect games for me has always been exploring the alternative futures your actions can bring about: thats the reason so many people do paragon and renegade play throughs. Why not a somewhat futile, dark...

As much as I like Nintendo for what they've done for the industry, they will forever infuriate me with their nonsensical, even wilfully self-damaging decisions. Release these games Nintendo, hell, localise all games! You never know what will become a cult classic or a runaway success unless you...

One of the main reason I took the Tali romance route in ME2 was because I wanted to see what she looked like (that and she's one of the coolest characters). So I felt kinda yanked about by them dodging the reveal. Which also didn't make much sense since I'm supposed to be Shephard, and he saw...

Bah, that's nothing. I remember as a kid having cake-fuelled nightmares for ages after watching Young Sherlock Holmes. Couldn't eat cake for a month...

Same here, I guess the choice was easy or difficult depending on if you thought of the Geth as a lifeform or as simple robots. Usually I'm just gaming and I make choices based on what will benfit my play the most. Maybe that's why the Geth choice was one of the few times I've had real...

I loved Duke Nukem 3d; used to play it online and create levels for it. I don't hate DNF, but I won't be playing through it a second time, and I won't be remembering it fondly a month from now, let alone 14 years. I didn't have any particular standards going in, in fact I enjoy retro gaming...

Blowed if I know the meaning of half the words that come out of my mouth, lol. Thought it was a British colloquial expression for acting smug about something. OT: Despite being very disappointed in the Gamecube and Wii's game selection and using my PS2 and 360 way more during each generation...
