Yeah, it's a much darker game than the first two. Do From Ashes soon if you haven't. Especially since it adds to Liara's storyline. And make sure you don't do The Citadel until last.
 
The Omega DLC was one of my favorites. It really took me by surprise. I also found a new respect for Aria seeing what she was up against. Her smug attitude used to put me off.

The darkest thing about ME3 for me was the Banshee, much more so than the Reapers.
 
Im looking for a good game with rich gameplay because im building a new rig
The pc:
AMD A8 7650k quad core 3.3-3.8 GHz
8GB ram 2400mhz
integrated r7 graphics

Im really into survival games like The Forest (too bad its still in early development and too buggy) and shooters like BF4 ,CSGO
What would you suggest me :) ? just dont tell me any RPG/MMO games lol
 
I had played the Forest when some updates rolled in. I got bored really easily. And yeah, it's still buggy.
You could try out some of the newer Call of Duty titles. For single player I mean. They're not as bad as people rant on about.
Don't starve has survival elements. There are definitely an increase in the survival games lately. Some of them are good. I suggest you look on steam. They're easy to find.

I finished the Leviathan DLC. OMG, probably one of the best DLCs I've ever played. Comes close to the Shadow Broker DLC of ME2.
Oh and I forgot to mention that I did play through From Ashes. I did that one first, like you said. It was good too. All the DLCs so far were really nice.
 
Cool.

Finding Javic really adds to Liara's story since she is a Prothean scholar. He ( and they ) are not what she expected at all to say the least! :lol: His character is a great addition to the crew.
 
The forest is buggy but its kinda fun to chop down a tree and have logs flying everyhere in the moment it touches the ground.. its hilarious sometimes lol
 
My problem is exactly this: I didn`t played any game to really satisfy me recently. As a hardcore player of FIFA Manager series (formerly TCM) I really miss it, being stopped after 2014 edition, with latest editions (since 2009) being worse and worse. So I switched to FIFA searies, especially FUT, since it involves some kind of developing a team, though quite broken kind.

But most of the time, I would like a game to put me in it, to absorbe me, as Manager series did 10 years ago. For some part, Skyrim does it. But in totally different ways. I do look almost daily for a game, watch you tube tops, web best somethings and so on, always ending playing another match in FIFA FUT or Seasons. Rather unsatisfying...
 


You finish ME3 yet Gman? I'm about half way through The Citadel DLC and that is the absolute last thing I have to do. Priority: Cerberus Headquarters is my next mission outside the DLC and you can't do any side missions after you start that one. It starts the final act.
 
No. I couldn't play it for 3 days straight because I had a lot of work to do. I ain't happy about it...:pfff:
Last I remember, I cured the genophage and finally got around to meeting the quarians. I did their first mission of killing off that large ship (I forgot it's name) and recruited Legion back. I think that was what I did last. I couldn't get around to playing it afterwards. Looking forward to playing it today.
 


I played the Mercenaries games on Xbox 360 and it was pretty awesome.
 
I finished Mass Effect 3 and I'm playing X-Com Enemy Unknown again. Actually I'm playing The Enemy Within DLC. I've played X-Com before but this is the first time with the Enemy Within DLC.
 
This is the next game I'm looking forward to.

Yes, I'm looking forward to the next Deus Ex too. Also Mafia III, Doom, No man's sky...etc. Lol.

I'm 30 hours in on ME3 and I 've..
..helped form a pact between the Geth and the Quarians. Who'd have ever thought? Going inside the virtual world of the geth was simply amazing and it gave me a different view of them entirely.
To tell you the truth, IMO I'm liking ME3 a lot more than ME2 or the first ME (as of right now). There just seems to be so much going on and a lot more variety as well.
 
I do too. And I love the first 2 games! :lol:

Going in the Geth collective was awesome.

I make peace between them too. And since I always romance Tali that's one of the best payoffs in gaming, getting to give your cute alien girlfriend her planet back. 😉 Since you already cured the genophage it's not a spoiler to tell you Mordin is the scientist who's with Eve ( Bakara ) and he dies curing the genophage assuming he lives through ME2. You had the other guy I suppose. Parts of Mass Effect 3 are dark like depressingly dark. But it's one of my favorite games ever.

Do literally everything up to Priority: Cerberus Headquarters and then start the Citadel DLC. You are still in for one hell of a treat there. Once you start that Cerberus mission you can't go anywhere else as it starts the end game.
 
Oh, ok. Thanks for the heads up, anort.

I kinda figured afterwards that Mordin was probably the scientist to cure the genophage. I could've had a lot more closure if it was Mordin curing the genophage since he was the one of the Salarian scientists who caused in the first place. It makes more sense too.

I think I was about to go help the Asari homeworld since their councillor asked me to.

EDIT: Okay, I think I understand what the depressing part was. I certainly wasn't expecting it...
Thessia's fall was purely underwhelming and sad. I did not see that one coming at all...
 
I'm playing X-Com Enemy Unknown again but this is the first time with The Enemy Within DLC. I wanted to play it one more time before getting X-Com 2. I love this game and The Enemy Within isn't what I expected. I thought it would just be a few new missions like most DLC not a revamp of the entire game. It's great.

Can't wait for Far Harbor and Blood and Wine. The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 may very well be the first games that take me 200 hours to complete a single playthrough. I'm sitting at 160+ hours in both of them right now. I've barely touched Fallout 4 since January except to play a few hours when the Mechanist DLC was released so I'm ready to hop back in the Wasteland. Blood and Wine is supposed to add an area the size of the Skellige Isles so that should be awesome as well.
 
Went back "old school" to Divinity - Enhanced Edition. Turn based, top down, RPG fun! About 15 hours in and haven't scratched the surface.
I haven't touched Fallout 4 since I did my first run through (pistols, then lasers). My son is currently on it with a melee Barbarian chick 8 feet tall....LOL
 
I was playing Mercenaries (from 2005) last night and I was just thinking, man, these graphics look so much more realistic than any game today. They really do, my brother even agreed with me. Games today are overly crisp and too saturated in that they don't look very realistic. I think unsaturated colors and blurred backgrounds look more realistic. I just don't know... It just looks more real to me.
 
what system's do you own or have played and on and on what type of screen; resolution, size, etc?

if those screen shots are representative of most of the game than it looks like very flat polygons with very limited textures and very bland color. seriously, no offense intended personally(everybody's got their own ideas of what looks good) but if that looks "more realistic" than modern games you may want to get to an optometrist and/or upgrade the display or television your using.

i would definitely understand older games being more fun and having other better attributes but general graphical realism is not something that degrades with time.
 


Would it help if we called you n00b and scrub for playing dota2 instead of LoL, HoN or HotS?

Or is that your new lifeblood now?
 
So I went old school and I'm playing Skyrim again. I only played it once when it was released ( about 90 hours ) and I never went back for some reason. So this will be the first time with the DLC. I've played Morrowwind and Oblivion both for hundreds of hours so I'm not sure why I never went back to Skyrim.

Still patiently waiting on Far Harbor and Blood and Wine. Blood and Wine is rumored to add 30+ hours meaning The Witcher 3 will be the first game that takes me 200+ hours overall. Fallout 4 is close though. I'm sitting on 160+ hours in both right now before the new DLCs.

You finish ME3 yet Gman? :lol:

Edit: And I seem to be repeating myself in this thread. That's what I get for posting in multiple gaming threads. 😛
 
Haha, I'm about to do the last mission. I should've been able to complete it yesterday but there was a pretty bad thunderstorm and we had a power cut for a few hours last night.

I finished the Citadel DLC, and boy, what a treat that was! Plenty of gags and I felt the increase in bond between all of my squadmates. The group photo was the best. Something about it made me feel kinda gloomy though...I hope we all don't die, dammit!

I should add, Miranda died in my game. 🙁
