What I have heard about Mass Effect 3 (No Spoilers, just silliness)

[andrewducker]

Back and forth between Nick and John over email:

Nick: I was quite surprised that Mass Effect 3 turned out to be a rhythm action sex simulation, set after all life in the galaxy had been exterminated except you and Wrex. Big props to Bioware for making a cross-species procreation game though.

John - have you got through the level where Wrex tells you about the way his first girlfriend used to do it? I tried using the special unlock Spectre position but it didn't help. I've heard that the reverse cowgirl DLC works for this one but that costs £5 in points - thoughts?

John: I'm clearly not as far in as you are. I've just done the bit near the start where all the Quarians take their helmets off in unison and it turns out that they all look like Neil Patrick Harris. Deeply moving, I thought.

Nick: I think I missed that part because in ME2 I didn't do the bit where you organise and take part in a musical number in the Citadel.

(Note - following my standard policy, I will be picking Mass Effect 3 up for a tenner when it hits cheap, and am currently enjoying my play-through of ME2 rather a lot. Please do not reveal plot of ME2 or ME3 in the comments. Feel free to chat about ME1 though. I've finished that :-> )

Have you reached the bit in ME2 where it turns out it was all a dream and you have to spend the rest of the game playing a data-entry minigame?

EVE?

There is really no way to top that :)

Everyone seems to really like the ME games. For some reason when ME1 came out, Penny Arcade trashed it (the 'now keep dying 500 times' cartoon) and that's stuck with me. Even though now they rave about it too.

I plan to get ME1 when I get a gaming PC soon :)

As I recall Penny Arcade did like ME, they just didn't let the fact that they liked it in general stop them from picking on the parts where it did really badly. The one that sticks in mind is the comic where they suggested that the missing alien race died out of boredom from being stuck in the elevators for so long.

This is the one I was thinking of: http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/11/19

That's actually fairly accurate. The first mission had me wandering about aimlessly for a bit trying to work out what to do and where to go.

It only took me 15 minutes to get the hang of it, but I really could have done with a little hand-holding to get me going.

Well in all fairness, if anyone *does* make a cross-species procreation game it'll be Bioware. And as long as the species are all elves, I'm totally fine with that. ;-)
