They removed holstering in ME3 because of memory concerns when they added the combat roll and heavy melee attacks.

Bummer! I haven't played it since launch and still on ME1 in my replay these days.

Infiltrator. For all three. Engineer and Adept are fun too, but Infiltrator is the best.

I've always played as a Soldier since I started the series back in 2009. Played as a Vanguard once but it didn't stick.

So a little bit of cool news I wanted to share since he can now say it publically, a good friend of mine at Naughty Dog who's been the senior cinematics animator there for the last 5+ years is heading over to BioWare (Austin to be precise) to work on some great things but before that will be working on Andromeda. He's responsible for a lot of sweet stuff in The Last of Us and Uncharted 4.

So he's going to Bioware Austin but will be working on Andromeda first? That looks like Andromeda, then SWTOR after. Considering the caliber of ND's animations I'd say that gif is especially appropriate.So a little bit of cool news I wanted to share since he can now say it publically, a good friend of mine at Naughty Dog who's been the senior cinematics animator there for the last 5+ years is heading over to BioWare (Austin to be precise) to work on some great things but before that will be working on Andromeda.

Andromeda first, yes.
He won't be on SWTOR though. Austin's got some other far more interesting things cooking.
Fair enough. IIRC there's two new IPs in the pipeline, the one Gaider was on and the other one, and that's just what we know about so far.

Not possible. The level cap is 50 for the first playthrough.
I've read that its possible to hit 60 on the second playthrough, but I have a hard time believing it.
If it is possible, it doesn't sound even a little fun.
Of course I am referring to consoles. On PC, I am sure there is modding that can make it possible to hit it in one playthrough.

Sentinel is far and away my favorite ME2/ME3 class. It had the biotic and tech powers that I would most commonly use, while I felt Adept was an embarrassment of riches for biotics.
For Sentinel I used Dominate as my bonus power and it absolutely owned and was wonderful against the collectors.

Would be nice to see more fun ME animations like that.
The fans have done a lot of great animations. And a lot of weird ones. And a lot of... it still haunts me.

I really liked the Sentinels in ME3. Then the GOAT arrived.
I wish the melee in the game was fully fleshed. Oh well, as gimicky as the warlord was it was still hilarious.
Once you've beaten the game and the achievement pops, the level cap leaves and on a fresh run you can hit level 58 in a single playthrough.
Trust me. I do it yearly on the 360.
And it is possible to got from 1-60 on a single playthrough, but you have to exploit a couple places that have infinite spawns, and given that the exp needed to go from level 59 to level 60 is about the same amount of exp needed to go from level 1 to level 58, I don't have that patience.

Can you farm XP @ Pinnacle Station?
and speaking of, is there even any loot at Pinnacle Station? Do I have any reason to spend any time there?
and speaking of, is there even any loot at Pinnacle Station? Do I have any reason to spend any time there?
No, you only receive EXP from beating the challenges the first time, I believe and not from killing enemies. Once you have placed first in all the challenges and completed the final challenge there is no further benefit from staying there beyond enjoying the experience.
The only loot you get are the rewards, however if you beat the final challenge and gain access to the ultimate reward, you can use that to buy a random item of one of three price levels, with the pool of possible items including most of the rarer armors and weapons in the game.
There are very few places you can sit and farm experience. I know there are more than just this one, but the only one that comes to mind is at the very end where if you stand at the end of a specific hall and don't move forward, the game will infinitely spawn Geth Juggernauts.

Isn't there a section on Feros that spawns infinite Thorian creepers? Or does it only feel infinite?
There might be, but I'm not sure exactly where that is off the top of my head.

Pinnacle station gave me a headache but took it back when I saw that 5 star cosmic wonderland apartment vista
But I honestly think it was so weak and ill fitting that it at best adds nothing and at worst is very beneath the brand. It's a shitty arcade room and nothing more, no story or imagination. I never recommend anyone play that but can't blame you if your completion it's curiosity got the better of you.

So was this fella.
I received many compliments on XBOX Live while playing ME3 MP. However, my Battlemaster drew the most entertaining replies when newer players watched the silly Krogan launch itself into a pile of enemies and laugh while under constant fire. My Batarian soldier drew similar praise for some reason. I am once again reminded how much fun ME3 MP can be and how much of that is due to the variety of very effective classes.
I really hope theme challenge weekends make a return. Those were the best. After challenge weekends running into players that would change classes for the comedy effect was more common. A team full of Volus Grapeshot Vanguards that knew what they were doing was extremely rare, but very satisfying. The rarest combination of all was everyone deciding to go Collector Adept. I probably had that randomly happen ~3 times and only once was everyone on the same page with biotic explosions. Collector Adept was way up there in the hard to master rating, but once you did it was a monster.
It's not that bad. I can clear it in about 40 minutes, only repeating one or two missions at most.

I wonder if they'll do any face scanning for characters in Andromeda. The graphics will probably be so good that it won't be necessary.

I played infiltrator online in Me3, but I never played as it in any of the campaigns.
interesting, did he share why he decided to leave naughty dog?So a little bit of cool news I wanted to share since he can now say it publically, a good friend of mine at Naughty Dog who's been the senior cinematics animator there for the last 5+ years is heading over to BioWare (Austin to be precise) to work on some great things but before that will be working on Andromeda.

i went soldier to beat Me2 on insanity. i heard that was the easiest way to do it.
Sentinel was the first class I ever played when I started Mass Effect (2, since that was the first one I played) what got me interested in it was the fact that it had the most protection (the shields) and yeah, it really is effective when it explodes at maximum capacity. I didn't like it in Me3 though. Pressing triangle made it explode.
I only like Sentinels in ME1. Not a fan in ME2, and really dislike playing them in ME3.
For those later games, it's all about Engineer, with Adept in second for me.

i'm with you on Me3, but I liked it in Me2, at first. after that in Me2 it was just between vanguard and soldier, and then in Me3 I pretty much only played in vanguard. started a playthrough as soldier but I just fucked it.
as for Me1, I played as adept for my 1 and only playthrough.
damn, that is some glossy ass lipgloss, aria.

Man I really need to get the trilogy on PC. Played the hell out of all 3 on PS3 even with the sub par framerate but the lack of controller support has kept me away from the PC versions. I know there is a controller mod out there but I've never messed with modding except for a couple racing sims which are straight forward.
