Dan, coming on for multi? I need to do Reapers on Silver.

[Your Mom]

When do you guys play multi? I would like to do it sometime but its hard to know when to be on and I usually have to set aside time in advance

[Nick Adams]

We kinda' just play. I'm not sure if there's a set time, really. Evenings?

EDIT: So, just beat three rounds of Silver tonight. Having the right squad really helps. Second time around, we had the fourth guy bail because we didn't revive him, even though it was round seven, and his body had two ravagers and a bunch of cannibals camping it. *sigh* Spectre packs are so nice when they don't cost Microsoft Points.

Jesus....Quarians vs Geth

I chose the Geth, and I lost Tali AND Legion. My god...this sucks. Even with the quick time thingy, I couldn't save her

Jesus....what have I done?!

No.

You lost Tali! Bad Ruki! BAD!

I feel horrible for it! Like...I pressed the Paragon button, I even reloaded and tried again two different times...but no matter what, Tali always died...I could never reach her in time

Fucking Quarians! Why wouldn't they accept peace?!

[Kane's Mullet Slacker]

I think there's a number of things that determine Tali's fate because they factor in decisions you made in ME2 and did you rescue the Adrimal and do the Geth Figher Squadrons mission before doing the Priority mission on Rannoch? Your paragon/renegade needs to be at a certain level as well. Also I think no matter if you hit the Paragon button you still just miss catching her.

I didn't do the Geth Fighter.....

Oh god...Tali! Maybe I can reload and save her.....

Tali...

I went totally renegade in ME and ME2, but found too hard to be the same in ME3 due to feeling an emotional connection the characters. Legion died on me, but Tali lived. I saved the admiral and...can't remember the geth fighters

and if there really is no plan to change the ending, then I think this may have been the last Bioware game I bought. I was disappointed in Dragon Age 2, but I figured ME3 wouldn't let me down. ME3 let me down, so now my faith in BioWare is kinda broken

I'd love to say that, but I love the games they produce, one bad ending isn't going to put me off their stuff. Besides, I'm still holding out hope that they really are releasing rumoured "The Truth" DLC for free, just praying that the guy who posted it wasn't just being a terrific troll.

[DavidMarrio]

Suppose I may have a dayoff from writing essays considering I've just finished one and need to hand it in today and have a mass effect day and recover from the weekend day as well. Seen as though this threads turning into spoiler box central last mission I did was the citadel one so dunno how far I'm into the game

Would people be better of knowing this obvius that they got soled an incompled game?

[Benji]

But if it's free, they didn't get sold an incomplete game (unless they're not connected to the internet, but who isn't these days?).

[Summers]

If it was free then it's not a big issue. If they charged people for an ending it's an issue.

[Dan]

Summ, can you get on now/in the next hour by any chance?

I've got an hour or two and am down for trying to do the reapers on Silver before it ends.

Edit: It ends at midday our time.

[Summers]

Noo. Only just saw this. :@ I coulda done it. I thought it was til later today. :@ Fuck balls.

[King Ellis]

It's hard to gloat because the game doesn't really give any confirmation but who's got two thumbs and two packs upcoming?

This guy!

In other news, I think I might actually start the game today. Got all the DLC done on ME2 (well, not Firewalker) over the weekend.

[Dan]

When we did it the other day, was it before or after midnight?

Just looked on the site and it looks like it started at midnight, not 1am.

[Summers]

We should have two packs coming then.

[Summers]

I'm up for some Multi now anyway, if others are.

[Dan]

Can't now, might do tonight though.
