Mass Effect News Thread

Just like LFS I had a love/hate relationship with the Mako (I admit, mostly love). The fact that it would climb straight up, I used to just laugh and laugh at the stupid stuff I could get it to do and where it would go. But sometimes, I got stuck. Then I hated it,

So appropriate:

can someone please explain the difference between the the MP deluxe and the Super Deluxe Booster Packs is?

Mass Effect News ‏@masseffect_News
Deluxe seems to be giving you a set of weapons and equipment from the very beginning. Super Deluxe is 20 (1)

Mass Effect News ‏@masseffect_News
packs (1/week) that help boost your progress. XP-related, probably, but it might be something more too. (2)

Michael Gamble @gamblemike
+ all the deluxe stuff (obviously)

NO WEAPONS?! Such a shame

And YES.  Kaidan forever, baby!  *rockson*

OH GAWD! And just when I thought the news flow was about to get steadier and more specific in location. We're gonna have to hunt through that thing. OOFT!


Also a disclaimer: he is not a developer, and is not interviewing a developer in this situation. So this will be less trustworthy compared to the other GI coverage released. 

Depends on whether you employ the old ram away method or if you rub it in by rolling back and forth on it.

Jos just finished his mission. It is one hell of a ride. (Or...ryde)

That is my favorite gif of all time. *wipes tear*

I'm inclined to agree. We reviewed the mission he's talking about earlier today, and it's absolutely spectacular. #Space #InJosWeTrust

Stick around then, I use it every chance I get

Gotta say though, your Tali avatar is looking pretty spiffy too.

No, they've come up publicly stating their policy is open cross play between PC or console (XB to PS) but a developer has to do it. Most WONT do it because they aren't willing to leave out the other console. Especially in Call of Duty where PS is paying for advertisement and special crap like MS used to do (MS has stopped doing that too in general).

Infinite Warfare is a curious one. Doesn't make much sense why the windows store version can't play with Steam. I could see how that was some weird policy choice issue on MS end, but that is entirely between Steam and Windows Store. Xbox to PC was never going to be a thing for infinite due to PS4. It could also just be Activition not giving a damn and making it so all 4 versions can't play with each other and failed to consider Windows Store to Steam as they are technically different versions.

Don't actually know who fucked up that, could be MS, could be Activision, with enough tinfoil im sure someone could come up with a reason how it's Sonys fault or whatever due to the whole deal.

Anyway, Rocket League is a good example of this. I 'think' they have PC/XB1 crossplay going and they've been waiting on Sony to give the go ahead for a pretty damn long time. Theres a few other games out there, but they tend to be indy since they don't seem to care as much about ensuring parity as much.

Considering the fate of Hyperion doesn't look so good, I thought it was very likely the Nexus would be the new Citadel, expecially because there's probably a representation of every/most species that came in Andromeda there.
