Let's play Mass Effect 3 part 6

Finally I finished all side missions. The most of them were Citadel missions. The only thing I needed to do for them was launching a probe at the right place on the right planet. The N7 missions were very good, but a bit short. I started the Priority: Cerberus Headquarters mission, so from now on I can't access the Citadel anymore, sadly enough. The Citadel is a beautiful place with is very restful. Thanks to my weapons the big enemies, such as Brutes and Atlas Mechs aren't a big deal. Yesterday I killed a Atlas Mech in 30 seconds. That's quite quick, the first time I was very surprised how easy it went.

The mission at earth was a very tough one. There were many enemies per wave, most of the fime ten Cannibals, four Marauders and some extra enemies for example several Brutes or Banshees. Sadly enough my teammates couldn't survive very good at earth. They died often and that was very annoying, because I needed to revive them to use their powers. I like the idea to save the earth, it feels very heroic when you reach the end of the mission. You saved the earth. I like that idea. The final cutscenes were very good, good story and nicely designed.

But then I had the choice: Destruction of the Reapers, Control the Reapers or Synthesize organics and synthetics. I wanted the choose for Destruction, but then I shot a thing (I don't say what or who, because that will reveal the whole story) and I got a new cutscene, although I didn't choose one of the three options. After that I got several cutscenes and then the credits. So I made no choice, but I finished the game. I didn't got the trophies from finishing the game and finishing the game on Insanity. After the credits I was placed back to my save from before the moment when I started the earth mission. It makes me quite angry that I could 'finish' the game because I shot a bullet. When I feel that I want to do the earth mission again, I will do it, but not now.

Let's play Mass Effect 3 part 5

I'm still busy with Mass Effect 3. With the storyline I'm at approximately 75% and with the side mission I need to do about 10. The game isn't as difficult as it was in the beginning. Maybe that's because I found good tactics and have good weapons. Killing enemies is a lot easier now. With overload I destroy shields most of the time immediately.

In my squad I have most of the time Garrus and Ashley. They have the same weapons, a sniper and an assault rifle, but their powers are very different. The reason why I prefer two squadmates with an assault rifle is the power of them. Liara is also a very useful squadmate, but she dies more often than Ashley or Garrus and that is the same with EDI.

I tried also to get a relation with Specialist Traynor, but when I asked in a conversation I found out she is a lesbian person, and I'm male Shepard so that wasn't possible. After that I tried to get a relationship with Ashley and I have now a relation with her. I didn't had all cutscenes yet, but that will come.

Let's Play Mass Effect 3 part 4

Already part four of the Let's Play! I'm with the Priority missions halfway and with the side missions a bit further then halfway. I still love the game, it's so beautiful, good and balanced. But that will come in a review.

I have a new assault rifle: the M-76 Revenant. What a beast! Perfect for killing extreme amounts of enemies. The gun fires at a high rate and deals many damage. It's full automatic, I like full automatic more then semi-automatic. Before I had the M-76 I used a M-15 Vindicator, which is semi-automatic. The M-15 shoots in bursts of three bullets. They biggest disadvantage of the M-76 is the recoil, it's terrible. I installed a reduced recoil mod which reduces the recoil by 30%, but still it's quite annoying.

I still didn't try the multiplayer, but I must say I don't play often multiplayer on any game. I'm more a single player. At Priority Tuchancka you need to activate two buttons at the end, which are guarded by a huge Reaper and six Brutes. I looked at several sites to see what tactics they used. All they said to kill all Brutes. That's nearly impossible because they have too much armor to kill them quick, it will cost you several magazines. So I chose to kill them not, but run as fast as possible to the buttons. And it worked!!! Without dying by the way. My teammates didn't like the tactic I used, they both died before I activated the first button. For more Mass Effect 3, stay tuned!

Extra: check these nails!

Let's Play Mass Effect 3 part 3

I never liked science fiction and aliens very much. Until I started Mass Effect 3. This game is so cool, I keep playing it with very much fun. Today I downloaded the Mass Effect 3: Datapad app. From this app you can watch videos and pictures, read the codex, receive mail from characters and most important: you can manage the Galaxy Map. There are three missions per main theater. If you complete these missions you increase your readiness rating. I like the concept that you can keep playing a game while you are not behind you console. I use for example the Far Cry 3 Outpost app several times a week so I keep advancing. Without playing Far Cry 3 I already gained 20000 XP and many weapon mods.

In the game I try to play all side missions so I don't advance very much with the main story. Yesterday I did the Attican Traverse: Krogan Team mission. It wasn't a very good mission because it was much the same. You need to destroy Reaper nodes and kill a bunch of enemies several times. The still need to play the multiplayer, but the single player is so good that I keep playing it. I keep you up to date about my Mass Effect adventures and don't forget to +1 me!

Let's Play Mass Effect 3 part 2

The last days I've been playing Mass Effect 3. I'm now a little further. I like the game very much. Insanity difficulty makes the game a great challenge. Sometimes I die five times on one point just because it's so difficult. But I don't care because it's huge fun to play some parts five times. While I'm replaying a part I also discover new tactics to use against specific enemies. Combat Engineers for example deploy and repair gun turrets. Gun turrets are very strong so I try to kill the Combat Engineers as fast as possible.

Yesterday I did the Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation side mission. My squad members were EDI and James Vega.  The tactic I chose against shielded enemies was overloading it with an overload attack from me and EDI. After these two attacks most of the shields are gone, so I could use one of the attacks from James. Which tactics do you use?

Let's Play Mass Effect 3

Friday I started playing with one of my Playstation Plus presents of March: Mass Effect 3. I chose for the ultimate challenge: playing on Insanity. I never played a game at the highest difficulty before, so this is new to me. Until now it's difficult, but I can handle it.

The game looks beautiful. The enemies move on a natural way and they also have some kind of intelligence. I died several times and after I came back to the enemies, they chose a different spot to hide, but also chose to attack on a different way. Sometimes they shot from cover, sometimes they shot while standing in the middle of the room or area.

Another thing I like about the game is the peaceful part. You don't shoot all the time, sometimes you walk on a forgotten place on Mars, or talk with somebody at the relax Citadel. I like it that the game has relax moments. It keeps the tension down and let's you think about tactics.

I will keep you up to date about my gameplay experiences of Mass Effect 3.

Let's play Far Cry 3

The last days I played Far Cry 3. It was a long time ago so I taught it would be nice to do this game again. I did an outpost reset because I already captured every outpost and the island was boring without enemies. And then I captured every outpost again. The load-out I used was a bow, a Bushman, a Ripper and a Z93 with silencer and extended mags. I like this load-out because it's good for silent, but if you are in combat it's a total destruction load-out!

If you are in trouble the Ripper is ideal. It shoots many bullets per seconds but it deals also loads of damage. I use in battle the most of the time the Bushman. It deals a nice amount of damage and it has a good accuracy and range. The Bushman is a silenced weapon so theoretical you could stay hidden while cleaning Rook island, but I never succeeded. I have the Z93 in my inventory because it's an ideal silence weapon. Most of the time a search a nice place on a hill near the outpost and use stones to lure enemies away to remote places inside the camp. After killing several guys with a sniper I go to the camp and kill the last enemies with the bow or the Bushman. That is how I play Far Cry 3.

What do you think about Far Cry 3? Post it in the comments!
