Mass Effect 3 War Assets list escapes from demo, mega-spoilers on-board

This article's spoiler free, but the link at the bottom isn't

You stand at a crossroads, Shepard. Mass Effect 3 could be the most nerve-wracking story experience you'll play all year, or utterly predictable. It all depends on whether you click the link at the bottom of this page.

It's a link to a Reddit post which claims to offer a complete list of Mass Effect 3's War Assets - Reaper destruction, for the purposes of - together with the plot choices required to unlock them. Visualise it, if you will, as a red-font Renegade dialogue prompt. Tempted? You're only human.

For relatively spoiler-free Mass Effect 3 speculations, consider our Mass Effect 3 race and Mass Effect 3 character features. When you're done, why not tell us how we should review the game? There's a good discussion going already. It's certainly better than ruining dozens of hours of space drama, days before said space drama materialises on shelves.

Made it all the way to the bottom? Don't say we didn't warn you.

  1. No don't do it !!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Just had a look and apparently Shepard uses his new robotic dog to fetch Chuck Norris and the Reapers then shit themselves and get back in their dark space. Owners of Mass Effect 3 without the robotic dog dlc will be screwed and die.

    I don't know why anyone would actually read through the spoilers of things on purpose... I mean for what possible reason? 'I like ruining things for myself and like to hear plot points out of context, now I'm going to complain about said plot point with no previous context on websites and leave my posts without spoiler warnings.' Sincerely, douchebag.

  3. Damn thats me screwed then i'm only getting the guns dlc with my pre order.

  4. For shame Ed, tempting us all like that for page-view-bumping purposes! We know your secret, you're working for....THE KEEPERS

    The true enemy in the Mass Effect universe rears it's ugly head (and many legs), it's always the ones you least suspect...

    This must mean Joker is the criminal overlord then. Him and EDI are secretly controlling the reapers, you heard it here first - my friend Geoff Shepard told me!

    Surely they'll give Seth Green a bigger part again this time, so after single handedly saving the Normandy II, i reckon he'll be front line with Shepard - it might just take a little longer to save the galaxy than shepard would like (maybe give him a sonic esque foot tap animation while he waits for joker to catch up?)

  6. Just played this demo and ill have to say i wasnt that impressed. i havent played any of the other mass effect games and i thought id try this as everyone says its great. I didnt like the fact you could not leave the aim view and i couldn't believe there was no animations for picking up guns amongst other things. It felt like gears of war style in space but nowhere near as good gameplay. I know this is just a demo and the final result will be improved but i was expecting better.

  7. This is hard. Do I click the link or wait it out um um um um my head is saying link link link but I'm not going to. Need to be strong, not long now and it'll be released, just have to get a buyer for the wife's f**ked up kidney, black market might give me 50 notes, so what it don't work they won't know it.

    You've just perfectly described the GameFAQs forums, although I haven't been on their ME3 forum since the leaked script for this very reason.

    Although I haven't played the demo myself from what other ME fans on this site have said it pretty much covers what is WORST about the series, the combat. Mass Effect is an amazing game, but not because of the combat but because of the plot, script, characters and epic sweep. None of that stuff really works in a twenty minute demo.

    That's your problem right there even if you did like it, it's like jumping into the usual suspects at the point where Bruce Willis is revealed to be Kaiser Sozay. Along with what cunning said, you'd get a better feel for the game if you played the first one rather than the demo, I honestly don't see the point of jumping in in the final series, not having seen the rest of lost. Regardless of what bioware or ea tell you, it's a stupid jump in point.

  11. Bruce Willis?

  12. Bruce Willis?

    So as not to spoil. It's also a family guy line... that I may have mixed up. I think they said Die Hard instead of him.
