Nope, it was too obvious to even be that. It was just an annoying way of padding out the gameplay.

Gameplay means interaction, not inaction.

Gameplay means interaction, not inaction.

If I'm going to get the same dialogue option regardless of what I choose, that's not interaction. That's just watching a movie that pauses randomly throughout.

[Chris Cross Cabaret Man]

Same dialogue is the exception not the rule.

What about charging banshees on silver? I think Geth Primes are bigger pains in the ass.

Every time a Vanguard gets instakilled by charging a banshee, a puppy dies.

Alright, guys. Official word is in. We can all stop debating now. Tom from freakin' Toonami just gave the game an 8.5 and said the ending was weak. It'll probably be up on the internet later.

If Tom says it, I agree.

I am now officially getting Mass Effect. YAY TV!

I love how that seems to be literally the only thing in all three games that has actually horrified Shepard.

I prefer the illusion of choice to watching a movie.

Gameplay means interaction, not inaction.

Perhaps the supposed "autodialogue" issues in ME3 don't really register for me, because I've been playing games with long cutscenes in them for decades. Compared to, say, the Xenosaga games, Mass Effect 3 is nowhere near "watching a movie" for me.

(three lines between dialogue choices vs. 10-20+ minute cutscenes..... )

[Eddie Howe]

That's one reason I cannot stand most modern games, the cutscenes are longer than the levels it seems sometimes.

I had to laugh (and woke up my wife)

Krogan scout party ME3

Spoiler

when you learn about the Rachni (even though I killed em.... Go figure) at the start of the mission where you fall a good 4+ stories on to earth and jagged rocks, you immediately roll out of it like it was a damn jolly jump

The worst perpetrator of this for me: Xenosaga. When I play it, I don't tell people I'm playing it. I tell people I'm watching it.

I hear Metal Gear Solid 4 is worse, though I have not played it. I didn't think Xenosaga was that bad though, maybe I just don't notice since I enjoy watching games as much as playing them.

Oh don't mind me team....I'll just complete the objective for you by myself. Hey, no worries, it's not you fault all you vanguards can't hold your own beyond wave 5 - the game is totally trying to get you. It's cool, I got this wave too....btw, I totally thought it was epic that you three decided to biotic charge that banshee. I don't think it's fair at all that you all got skewered by the same one because you thought charge should work on everything. It's kewl though.
Well wave 10 here, and you're all down within 45 seconds...but no worries - I got it, just like the last 6 waves. Hacking by myself is soooo easy, you'd never know.....cuz your dead and all. Hey I'm actually surprised that you all were not [censored] over during wave 11....it might have had to do with two of you launching a rocket each on a single brute and cannibal.

And would you look at that: I totally agree with you three - the game totally messed up on the scoring. I totally didn't deserve 168,526 points. It must have glitched for sure.

Yep. I feel for you; that was pretty much the story of my entire night. Oh, and let's not forget the people who ragequit the first time they go down. I had one of those people in EVERY game tonight. Seriously, why, just why do people do that? They lose out on all earned money and xp for that game, and they've only accomplished wrecking the game for three other people. Ugh...

[TASTY TRACY]

One of the many many many reasons i dont play multiplayer.

[Kortknee Bell]

In some games I do cut them off. In others I don't bother reporting. That depends on what type of character I play.

I found http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/10849566/2#10853489 interesting. Read the link in the first page. If that happened in Skyrim, OMG!!!!!!!

Damn, that's weak. I'm convinced EA is actively trying to shoo players from their games. Ridiculous crap.

What about charging banshees on silver? I think Geth Primes are bigger pains in the ass.

Never charge Boss creatures as a Vanguard. Primes you can rush if there is no other Geth nearby but Banshees are out of question.
Vanguard is better off picking the low-grade mooks while ranged characters pick out the bosses.

Asses like that give Vanguards a bad name. I always leave the party if there are other Vanguards besides me anyway, or switch to my Quarian sniper.
IMO you should need to unlock the Vanguards instead of getting them straight away. Would prevent noobs from playing them.

Well either way, I promoted 3, so nobody can say I didn't contribute to the weekend challenge. It's on to SP till
I pass out then. Maybe I'll promote my infiltrator later tomorrow (It's kinda funny seeing me ranked 378 in the States, and 551 in the world at the time of this post.).

Weekend challenge? I must have missed something. I guess I could prmote my Vanguard then.

[Ernesto Salinas]

Weekend challenge? I must have missed something. I guess I could prmote my Vanguard then.

Weekend Challenge : Operation Raptor. Its on the main page of the BSN. That's how we get the commendation packs / victory packs. Just like Operation Goliath 2 weeks ago. These are going to be a weekly thing now.

Edit for specification: promote 2 characters for a commendation pack. Community promotes a total of 150,000 characters for the victory pack.

The commendation pack contains MP variants of the N7 gunt the collector's edition recieved.
The victory pack is a Specter pack with no possibility of a character card.

Second edit:

That was hardly witty, even ignoring the fact that today's the 1st.
