Thanks to guicool-BR- for the list!

You take on the role of Commander Shepard onboard the SSV Normandy en route to the human colony of Eden Prime in an operation to recover a recently unearthed Prothean beacon. The crew is joined on the mission by the turian Spectre Nihlus Kryik from the Citadel's Office of Special Tactics and Reconnaissance. The mission was meant to test Shepard's suitability for the role as a Spectre, but quickly changes when the Normandy arrives at the colony to find it's under attack by an unidentified alien space craft.
When your squad arrives you identify that the colony is under attack by geth forces led by a rogue turian Spectre named Saren Arterius - who kills Nihlus. When you locate the beacon it activates, imparting strange visions in Shepard’s mind before becoming inactive. After the mission is complete you return to the Citadel Council to inform them of what happened and the actions of Saren. After the Council rejects your initial accusation you start your own investigation, uncovering evidence which leads to Saren being declared a rogue Spectre. Shepard is then granted Spectre status and given command of the Normandy with orders to hunt down Saren. While doing so you unravel his plot to bring back the ancient machine race known as the Reapers. Now it is no longer just about bringing one man to justice, but also to save a galaxy from extinction...

Available for the PC and XBOX 360

Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new enemy has emerged. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced. To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy's most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong.

Available for PC, XBOX 360 and PS3.

Six months have passed since the events of Arrival. Commander Shepard has been relieved of command and detained in a Systems Alliance facility in the city of Vancouver on Earth. Without warning, Alliance deep space outposts beyond Sol begin to go dark. Admiral Steven Hackett, the head of the Alliance military, begins to prepare for an imminent invasion. Admiral David Anderson arrives in Vancouver and escorts Commander Shepard to a meeting with an Alliance defense committee. Shepard confirms their worst fears: the Reapers have returned to the galaxy and are on their way to Earth. With no help from the Council, it is up to Commander Shepard to unite the forces of the galaxy to even have a chance to save all life in the galaxy.

Available for PC, XBOX 360 and PS3.

**Jackald** · 23rd April 2012

Ah, that new thread smell.

WilhelmScreamer · 23rd April 2012

Yay.

**Jrock455** · 23rd April 2012

As I was saying before Garry locked the thread, is there anyway to bypass having to play the MP so I can get the best ending of the bad endings?

**Psychokitten** · 23rd April 2012

Not what I would have chosen for the title, but hey, new thread!

**Lankist** · 23rd April 2012

I propose a new Mass Effect Megathread rule:

Don't fucking quote the images when somebody decides to post some creepy-ass alien porn. Just don't, please. If somebody posts some weird shit on page 3, nobody wants to see it on page 457.

Love it.

Yeah, it gets pretty awkward browsing this thread at my college library when every page has weird alien porn.

You may want to also add in where they live. In this case, I live in the US.

**Aperture fan** · 24th April 2012

So I finally started the Earth mission. I'm getting a fucking headache. The absolutely CONSTANT shaking and blinding lights are just annoying as fuck.

So far it had one redeeming moment...

STEEEEEVE! Are you ok?

Edited:

And is it just me or do the enemies have ridiculously increased regen rates?

Good idea. Thanks a lot :)

I believe so. Some people were saying that it was alluding to killing Banshee's, kind of like that "Kill 1 Million Brutes challenge" we had a while back.

'Bout damn time for a new thread.

shatteredwindow · 24th April 2012

Should I buy an n7 hoody, y/n? Also, the hoody or track jacket?

Edited:

Also my gt is Shatterednick.

N7 · 24th April 2012

I just got my N7 wallet in the mail today, fairly happy with it.
Also the N7 hoodies look nice, so I would buy one. But there are pretty expensive.

shatteredwindow · 24th April 2012

I would get the hoody, but I don't like that flappy thing along the zipper.

Edited:

Oh wait that was the girls' version anyway.

http://biowarestore.com/mass-effect/...-black-hoody_2 This one doesn't have the flap.

Also this utility one is pretty nice.

shatteredwindow · 24th April 2012

The lightweight one looks nice.

Edited:

As for the utility one, I think this one is better:

Actually I think they're the same besides color, but the grey one has a better picture.

N7 · 24th April 2012

The one you linked had a metal magnetic button it seems like, and the other one has a more traditional button. Both are nice though.

**guicool-BR-** · 24th April 2012

My hoody arrived, but I'll only going to grab it tomorrow (long story).

**Novangel** · 24th April 2012

Tell me how it is!

**EXoDUSFLT** · 24th April 2012

I've never actually played through Mass Effect 1 with the NG+ feature.

Holy shit i'm OP.
