I mean sure, there might be about 3 or 4 different possible scenarios in ME3 but I don't see how 2 prequels worth of dendritic choices are going to truly translate to anything more than a few superficial outcomes.
Well I played it yesterday and already people who could have died in ME2 have pretty noticable dialogue and story-affecting roles in ME3. Obviously they'll have a bigger impact on the overall "war readiness" thingy and already you can see your moral actions in the previous games having an effect on this this.

Besides that, it's more about giving the player the feeling that their actions matter, even if it is just an illusion.

Anyway I tried multiplayer last night and despite it being a 4-player co-op game, I did it with just me and another guy. Not a good idea, especially on the higher level challenges. Gods damn, we got owned, son. Probably not a good idea to do this with random pubs.

As long as Wrex survives for the 3rd game, I'm happy.

I'm picking this one up this afternoon; it's going to be good to see the end of the Shepard story arc. I'm curious as to what they're planning to do with the ME universe next.

Hopefully more game companies start taking a page from the ME series and design sequels to follow a customized storyline and build on player-made decisions. IMO it really adds to the sense of immersion.

some config settings to mess with:


My Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect 3 Demo\BIOGame\Config and open the GamerSettings.ini file.

Add the following lines under [SystemSettings] -

UseVSync=True
SmoothFrameRate=True
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62

Fuck, now I kinda want to abandon that plan and just play the third...

FOV fix Here

Use the shared aim binary at the bottom. 95 FOV works best for me.

lol...yeah...steamin...considering it's an FOV fix for a third person game when you were yammerin about first person games and how it needs to match your eye's area of focus and peripheral vision, blah blah blah.

P.S. Raphael!!!!

P.S.S. The link brisk supplied also supports my previously-stated position on FOV: changing it can fuck up visuals in cutscenes and other areas and increases the dev workload simply to please a minority of players, who happen to be the loudest whiners. Cry all you want about it, nothing will change...not when you've got 3 platforms to support.

a simple variable that changes fov for cutscenes is easy to do, we talked about this...one more "if then" won't kill you.

No matter... the link also shows you an easy way to key bind fov switching.

ps

do you program or design?
textures or modeling?

And as we talked about I mentioned that simply switching a variable isn't enough if you don't want to release shit. And as I mentioned last time we talked, I honestly don't understand why you people won't stfu about this when you clearly have no clue how much work is involved to get quality on multiple platforms for the minority of people who need the switch....and for a third person game that doesn't need it ffs. :olo:

well not if the 3rd person is some half assed excuse for 1st person. when I move my mouse and the entire screen moves it's a FPS... the fact that there is a player model in my view is inconsequential....morons

do I need to explain that part to you in advanced english or something?

the crosshairs are FIXED in the center of the screen. whne you aim around your entire screen shifts, with the crosshairs still in the center.... that's a fucking FPS.
