Mass Effect Series

[Vendel]

What's the multiplayer like?
I didn't bother with it.

Well I am having fun with it. I don't play many online shooters but I suspect it's like any number of them. In that your results may vary depending on who you are teamed with.

As a person who pretty much just plays soldier it's fun learning the ins and outs of the different classes. Although as a soldier It sucks having to unlock ammo powers and then pick one before starting a mission.

But the most frustrating part is the randomness of the things you unlock. I have gotten tons of shotgun stuff. I have 1 maybe 2 characters that use shotguns. That is why I was so excited about the 3 rare pack that I got.

I have somehow managed to unlock both the Widow and Black Widow for mp

the latter of which is vastly superior

though what I really want is a way to make the Arc Pistol weigh less ;.;

Unlocking the upgrades to that gun will probably help. At least I think........

 

[Hisako]

I've unlocked only about 5 weapons, one rare sniper (Raptor) and one rare shotgun (Disciple).

Considering I unlocked about 2-3 times more stuff in the demo, I'd say i've been running a spate of bad luck.

 

[Dana Scully]

i unlocked that assault rifle that shoots grenades (m37 falcon i think?) and it's hella fun, it staggers just about everything except boss units

only character i've unlocked so far though is the turian soldier which makes me kinda sad since i've already got my bf3 soldier to level 20

wtb something krogan or asari

 

[Hisako]

i've unlocked quarian infiltrator like
4 times
I mean I like it an' all but I'd rather unlock more weapons rather than the same characters lolo

Spoiler: moar things that make me feel fuzzy

kenneth and gabby being cute together

I finally got a goddamn Krogan sentinel and it only took the money from two gold wins.

Bunch of weapons I haven't used, like the Disciple. Tried that Spike Thrower and hated it. The Revenant was like holding a firetruck hose and the Reapers shoved the Geth Plasma Rifle up my ass sideways. Pretty much stick with the Black Widow or Claymore on every character now.

 

[Joker]

^edit: try adding the stability thing to the revenant

I literally KEEP getting character shit, especially for characters I haven't created (human male adept, for example, when my human adept is female). That, and somehow always getting upgrades for the crap basic assault rifle and pistol =/

on the plus side, the only class I'm missing now is the turian sentinel >:3

 

[null]

I did.

I just haven't been feeling it with any of the assault rifles.

 

[Joker]

I like the Falcon, but it's an assault rifle that shoots grenades ;.;

The Avenger is fine for me so far, but only because I don't have something better like the Saber or Mattock.

 

[Lex]

I've only played multiplayer a few times, but I really want to unlock the Drell Vanguard. I've got an Asari Vanguard but I think everyone gets that with a starter pack or something. Also she's the only character I've unlocked .

 

[Joker]

No, everyone doesn't get it with a starter pack. I got a quarian infiltrator in mine.

 

[Lex]

Well that's good to know. I'm not sure how I feel about the random nature of the packs though. I suppose it's better in the long run, like opening a present and you just don't know whats inside!

A big pile of useless shit at least half the time.

 

[Hisako]

Asari Vanguard was the starter pack unlock for me as well.

Any news on that event reward? I haven't seen it pop up in my Store yet.

 

[Russell]

Holy crap, just been reading TVtropes....

Spoiler

Anyone else hang around the hospital on the Citadel long enought to hear the whole story of the Asari with PTSD?

And did anyone else here Joker talk about this sister?

I heard both stories but didn't connect the dots, well...

In Mass Effect 3, a conversation between two Asari, one a shell-shocked commando, can be heard. Repeated visits reveal the commando to have been a survivor of a Reaper attack on a farm on a planet called Tiptree. She had been escaping husks and other Reaper-converted monsters with a fifteen year-old girl named Hillary in tow. Eventually, Hillary became injured and would not stop crying, endangering them both. Unable to silence her, the commando, in desperation, ultimately shot the girl.

This is pretty bad in itself... and you later learn that Joker has family on Tiptree. He hasn't heard from his father, but he's pretty sure that his fifteen year-old sister, Hillary, made it off safely.

Damn.

 

[Joker]

Heard both of those things.

And yeah, his sister is fine, but he assumes his father is not fine.

 

[Carlie]

Yeah man.

Spoiler

As soon as I heard Joker say his sister's name was Hilary I was like "Oh shit". Did anyone give the asari the gun? I didn't.

 

[Hisako]

The only people who gave her the gun would be people who just authorize absolutely everything in the Spectre terminal without actually reading them.

 

[Carlie]

So you did then.

I'm actually amazed that I read most of them.

 

[Random Nobody]

fuck joker

idfc what his reasons were

that was not cool

This game made me realise how much I'd been repressing my intense hatred of Joker all through the series.
