Who else out there is pumped for mass effect 3? I've continued my shephard since the first game & uber excited,

which is awesome because I rarely get excited about anything anymore

It's been so long since I played through I can barely remember the details but from ME2 I did 2 playthroughs; one where I destroyed the enemy base & one where I kept it for the illusive man

other than that my whole team survived & all the crew was back safely afterwards, dunno how that will play out in the next game but will be fun to see.

I had a squizz on the bioware forums to see some pre-release updates, but man those guys are more trekkie then trekkies :laugh: I'm gonna steer clear of those types of sites, I hate spoilers, like being told the ending of a movie before you go to watch it

nah didn't buy bf3, those warshooters aren't my thing anyway & kind of all feel the same, I just buy them when they're in the $20 bargain bin as I don't really have the spare time to play video games anymore, as much I wish I did so I'm a bit choosy on what I buy nowadays :thumbsup:

agree with the whole monetizing thing. Honestly though, i'll probably still end up buying the DLC eventually in my numerous play-throughs. not sure if the N7 edition is worth it though, as far as i can see, i'd maybe only want the weapons (unless they're no better than in game weapons) and the extra character (anyone know who it is?)

EDIT: i laughed/cringed when he was all outraged at the N7 edition costing $80USD and £55. I wish it cost 80 bucks here in australia

EDIT numero deux: just looked into the N7 pack, apparently you can get one of those mech dog things to follow you around as a pet, on the normandy. i'm sold.

i wanted real stuff for the N7. like a die-cast normandy sr-2.

there's no spoiler tags so if you don't want stuff spoiled don't scroll.

still here?

I'll make you keep scrolling to hide it from people who don't wanna see

srsly

it's a fkn prothean!!!!!!!!

I've pre ordered the N7 edition. Only reason being its only $10 more than the normal one and comes with more include DLC that I Would have ended up shelling out for in the future anyway.

On another note has everyone played The Arrival DLC mission for ME2? I have and I'd say it plays a part in ME3. I'm keen to see what they do with the human reaper decision, whether you kept it or destroyed it.

Haven't played much of the DLC for ME2; I heard that the Shadow Broker was the only one really worth getting. The Arrival any good?

Still annoyed about it though; because it'll be on Origin I don't think I can get mates in the US to gift it to me and pay them the US prices...

yeah the Shadow Broker one was ok, the mission was shorter than The Arrival but it unlocked the lair, where you could earn some credits, upgrades and get tips on mineral rich planets. Also sets up a bit of the story for ME3 where Liara becomes the shadow broker.

The Arrival is one big mission where you play as just Shepard (no teammates) there are a couple of different settings and play styles, one you need to sneak around and others its all guns blazing. I liked it and reckon it was worth it. The basic gist of the story is someone has found the Alpha Relay which the reapers can use to get anywhere in the galaxy fast. A plan is made to push a big asteroid at the relay to destroy it, only catch is the explosion will destroy the entire system which has a couple of Batatarian colonies. Something goes wrong and you don't have enough time to evacuate the colonies before destroying the relay.

Where did you preorder it from? Every where I've looked its at least $127.

ebgames, sorry just checked and its $20 more, not $10. should also state i'm getting it for the PS3. still, once you add up a DLC weapons pack and an extra mission/character it would be close to an extra $20. when i go game shopping i'm all about extra's lol, if i can pre-order or get a special edition with extra DLC i'll go for that. 9 times out of 10 i'll end up paying for a bit of DLC anyway so if i can get it with the game i'm all good.

Was just looking and the normal version is $108 on PS3 and $88 on PC (eb prices). consoles get screwed when it comes to game prices lol.

I'm on my 2nd playthrough of the Shep I'll be using for ME3. Jack died in my first one, even though I hated her, I couldn't let it slide lol. I've got one week to finish this playthrough and play the demo. BUT, I cannot find the demo anywhere! I can find links and advertising for it all over the internets, but I cannot find a single place to download it from.

On the Cynical Brit's rant. I agree 100%. EA has been a gluttonous company since ever. I hate what they've done to games and I super hate what they did to BF3. I hate Origin. I hate EA. But it's kinda like that ONLY seat on the bus is next to some smelly fat man, if you wanna get to where you wanna go. You've got to sit down. [i suppose you could also stand, but that's beside the point I'm trying to make.]

I don't know if I'll go so far as boycotting the game. But I damned well feel like it. After the amout Aussies pay for games already, it kinda makes my blood boil. I haven't preordered anything yet, and don't think I will. I don't know what I'm going to do. Digital Preorders are just stupid. They try to coax you into it by giving you more digital stuff. Stuff that's infinte, and it's not like you need to secure your copy of zeroes and ones. I want material things that you can hold in your hand or put on your geek-shelf. That has nothing. Things that give me an edge in a single player campaign seem moot to me. But story I'm a sucker for. And to

exclude a character and the story that surrounds him - a FKN PROTHEAN - from the completed game, whereby the only way to attain him is to pay more money. Srsly. WTF.

I realise I kinda just repeated stuff the Cynical Brit said, while it was fresh in my mind. But I guess that's exactly how I feel.

I love to whinge about games lol.

it plays a direct part in ME3. at the start of ME3 (spoiler onwards) you are on trial for your actions at arrival (ie. blowing up a mass relay and killing zillions of peopl) at the time of the reapers attack) (thats from the demo, the first mission)

dont think ill be getting the N7 pack. From what i've heard the (spoiler) prothean (spoiler) is still in the game and part of the story, but will not join the squad. This may or may not be true, just something someone said

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
