The Best Screenshot Artist in Gaming Captures The Beauty of Mass Effect 3

http://deadendthrills.com/?cat=490

Being a "screenshot artist" is a thing apparently. There are some cool-looking super high res images of the levels and some character models.

Some pretty kickass improvements coming up in the next patch.

I expect to see lots of kroguards in future matches.

Thanks for the link, some really great hi-res shots in there. If he was charging money for his images that'd be one thing, but it's clear there's been a lot of time and effort to put those together. Some of the city shots from Crysis 2 are worth checking out, too, hard to believe some of them are from a video game!

Good stuff being fixed on both SP and MP.

Progress to locked achievements will be reset.

Sucks for non-MP players who are trying to get the 5k kills achievement.

Seems a little late on those MP fixes, but who knows. Maybe it's in anticipation of some DLC; maybe we'll get a bit more thru traffic. I honestly don't mind throwing the game on every now and then. Still pretty fun. Looking forward to properly raging with my Kroguard, even though he in no way needed it.

What? I'm sitting around 3600 right now (hardly play MP) but was gonna get this on my next play through :(

Heads up, the Battlefield 3 soldier skin is now available as a rare card for everyone. I had it from the BF3 tie-in, but that's cool for those who still need it. Here's to hoping the Collector Rifle also shows up in packs at some point.

- Fixed an issue with the Banshee being able to sync-kill players farther than she should be able to

Haha no f*#king sh*t.

- Fixed Decoy that was blocking the use of ladders to NPCs and squadmates

lol ultimate troll

So I checked out of the thread post Extended Cut b/c of my dislike of the story: is Leviathan something awesome, just fine/acceptable, or is it hot garbage? Just curious if I should stop my boycott of paid DLC for this game if Leviathan goes on sale sometime around Christmas. Thanks everyone.

Some neat bits, some irritating bits.

Proceed as your conscience demands.

So adequtate then? OK then I'll just wait to see how Omega goes and see if it warrants an on sale purchase if both are on sale sometime in 2013 then, thanks.

Does it need to be played during a playthrough to get the most out of it or can it be played at the point of no return and not seem horribly out of place?

I thought it was pretty good. Not quite up to Shadow Broker standards but better than average for Mass Effect. I would recommend it to anyone who likes ME3, but if you've got reasons for not wanting to buy it, it's not essential.

I generally agree with Ryuu's assessment of Leviathan. I think its a little more essential to the story, though. So, if the story is turning you off. This may not be for you. For me, its a must buy. Its not LotSB, but it has you doing different things gameplay-wise and I think it adds a huge opening to the future of the ME universe, but also added a "well, wtf? Element to the story.

On sale = get it. Not on sale and you are unsure = waiting for sale. Unless you are a hardcore ME fan.

I'd third the options listed above, it adds some reasonable backstory to the game. It also adds some good weapon mods useable again on NG+, if you're going back for a second go-round.

I'd suspect it'll go on-sale when the Omega DLC comes out, though if you're not hardcore ME fans, wait for the sale.

I enjoyed it and though it was second to LoTSB in quality and enjoyment value.

My DLC rankings across ME1, ME2 and ME3, from best to worst:
LoTSB
Leviathan
Bring Down The Sky
Stolen Memory
From Ashes
Overlord
Arrival
Price Of Revenge
Pinnacle Station
Firewalker

I think that covers all of them.

From best to worst:

1. Lair of the Shadow Broker (best DLC ever, high point of the entire game/series)
2. Stolen Memory (really love this mission, Kasumi is a great squadmate)
3. Leviathan (great gameplay variety, similar to Stolen Memory)
4. The Price of Revenge (mission itself is nothing special but Zaeed is one of my favorite squadmates)
5. From Ashes (similar to Zaeed, so-so mission but awesome squadmate added)
6. Overlord (fun but nothing special, just a slightly beefed-up ME2 sidequest)
7. Bring Down the Sky (meh... unmemorable)
8. Arrival (very meh... hated playing without squadmates)
9. Pinnacle Station (awful, completely misses the point of Mass Effect)
10. Firewalker (so awful I never even finished it)

LoTSB
Leviathan
Arrival
Stolen Memory
From Ashes
Overlord (for stupid hammerhead sequences. Liked the other parts)
The Price of Revenge
BDtS
Firewalker
Pinnacle Station

Hoping Omega goes somewhere near the top...

Guess I had a better memory of BDTS than others did. Mainly for the combat at the end, I suppose.

I enjoyed the story component of it but the mako sessions were so laborious in that game.

Actually, the Mako driving in BDTS was some of the least annoying out of anything else in the game. Mainly because they made sense in a point A to point B process instead of some of the random paths you took to get to objectives in the rest of the game.
