Naturally the devs will make her Biotic powers so strong, that you cannot help but make her a mandatory squadie. It's no more wacky than other famous Bs, such as World B'Free and Al B'Sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 For anyone wondering how much analysis you can reasonably do on 4 seconds of footage... you can do about six minutes worth. Looks really good though. And it looks like Biotic Flare and Nova are in, in multiplayer at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I will be paying off my DE copy with my next paycheck as well as getting an XB1 headset on the cheap. I will see you fuckers in the void on launch day. First one to finish campaign mode will have obviously have rushed through the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 My wife and I already had my first fight over the game as per usual she expects me to wait for the campaign so she can watch me play and I already explained that I am home from work the Wednesday after it comes out and I am not going an entire day not playing it. (Granted I could play MP - but I will light myself on fire the second some 16 year old who stayed away for 36 straight hours spoils it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have an extra week of vacation I've gotta take before the end of March, so I'm using one day for Mass Effect release date. I think the last time I did that for a game was San Andreas. That reminds me, I probably ought to get round to ordering this. I have a feeling it will be forever before I finish the campaign, so I'll probably end up avoiding this thread for a long time after the release.

J.T. Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 ASARI SWORD~???? WHY ISN'T IT MARCH YET~?? I usually suck with Biotics, but damned if that video didn't make me want to be a Vanguard so I could Biotic Charge into large alien animals and kill them. Then I remember that Veelox's favorite class was the Vanguard and I am like, "Yeah. I wonder what grenades the Infiltrator will get in this game?"

RIPPA Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 This is how crazy I am - since I didn't play the MP in ME3 until I beat the SP - I missed the first couple of special weekend events they ran So I never got those acknowledgments on the N7 page and I never ever would be able to.

I loved my Hurricane, but if I just wanted to play more ME3 multiplayer, I'd just, well, play more ME3 multiplayer. After watching the video, I have some thoughts. 1. Love the different styles of weapons based on different cultures. That's a clever touch. 2. I have a minor concern with the sheer number of powers available to you. It feels like should, in theory, just make yourself so decked out nothing feels like a legitimate challenge to you. AKA, The Fallout/Skyrim problem, were the game could go from "too hard" to "boringly easy" at a certain point. Dragon Age: Inquisition even felt that way once you really stacked your character up. Sometimes limitations are good. That said, my biggest problem with DA: 2 and DA: I was how much they dumbed down leveling up your characters after DA:O, so I'm being a little hypocritical here. Basically, it's a concern, but not a major one, yet. 3. I'm still somewhat concerned what the more open world will do to Multiplayer, which is why I think ME3 is still a top 10 game for me all time. The structure they built was really fun, and it feels like they are going to have to completely changed it. How are characters going to be built? Just have limitations dropped on them like how you had less powers to choose from in ME3? 4. From a pure logical standpoint, if the tech existed to be able to hover in combat, why the fuck were we not using that in ME3? Yes, I know overly critical nitpick, let's continue. 5. Fucking Asari Sword man. 6. I'm totally rocking a Tactical Cloak Nova build, for shits and giggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different engine probably makes it easier to pull off. From a lore pov the tech may have just not been developed yet. 19 minutes ago, AxB said: Not seeing Warp or Dark Channel on the Biotic list.

Whats more there are at least two long living races that may have not been sleeping the entirety trip, if sleeping at all. Also humanity is the last to arrive with the Nexus ship arriving earlier than any of the colony ships. We don't know how far ahead they were of everyone else.

AxB Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 In the trailer, floating rocks. Maybe they do find Anti-Grav stuff as soon as they arrive. There were a few characters in ME3 multiplayer who had jump technology, like the Turian Havoc, and Cerberus troops often arrived by dropping in with jets to slow their landings, so it's not a huge leap to say that basically Shepard was a hard cover person, and Ryder is a run and gun person. Do you think you can change Sara to make her into Winona Ryder? Because whatever happens, I'm changing Alec's name to Horst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we to cause Biotic explosions with just Lift and Pull? Lift and Pull were primers not detonators, so you couldn't cause Biotic Explosions with that combo. The other powers have to be there somewhere. Before all of the new fangled ME3 powers, you either had to follow up with Throw or Warp for a Biotic Power Combo. The whole battle with the YMIR Mech in ME2 was a big tutorial on getting down Miranda and Jacob's timing so that you could use the Pull / Warp combo to destroy the mech's armor.

Singularities naturally detonate after the timer is up also, but it was better to use Warp because of the power evolution that allowed it to cause more force with a combo explotion.

AxB Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The list of Biotics on the video is (and there's no empty slots, so this might be literally everything Ryder can do Biotically): Pull Throw Charge Nova Shockwave Annihilation Backlash Singularity Lance Barrier (Passive) Offensive Biotics (Passive) Containment (Passive) So I'm guessing Charge, Nova, Shockwave and maybe Lance are the Detonators, whilst Pull and Singularity are the Primers. And there's no Lift, which I didn't notice before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
