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.

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

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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
