Looks like a dupe to the Agent86 question

yeah, the dupes are fast and furious these days, but I think that's to be expected.

Ben Brocka

well I can't VtC anyway, so...

Now that more people are around:

Q: To enjoy Mass Effect 3 do I need to have played Mass Effect 1 and 2?

I have never played Mass Effect 1 or 2. Do I need to play the first and second installment to understand the third? Will I be lost?

Too subjective?

Ben Brocka

@Sterno It's sorta wish-washy because he's not being very specific. If he asked "Will ME3 ruin ME1/2" (which I asked, so that would be a dupe) or "Can I enjoy ME3 without playing 1/2" WITHOUT asking about "understanding" I think it would be a better question

Stephen

@Sterno I think it's fairly clear cut enough that you don't have to play the first 2 to enjoy the 3rd based on most people's opinions

Ben Brocka

3:03 PM

@Stephen "enjoy" is a problem because he tossed in "understanding" the third

Stephen

It's not the greatest question in the world, but it's one that some people are probably asking

Ben Brocka

There's some tiny story bits you won't get in ME3, but I wouldn't call it an unenjoyable experience

...especially not since it's the one I'm having, and I'm enjoying the game

Sterno

@Stephen The word "opinion" is the problem.

Stephen

@BenBrocka True, I'll say you don't need to play the first 2 to understand the 3rd because of the good recaps they give you.

Sterno

Anyway, there's also this one, which is a dupe: gaming.stackexchange.com/q/54112/3062

Ben Brocka

3:05 PM

yeah, though there's some stuff they sorta gloss over/oversimplify on

Sterno

And it makes me sad because I have a score of 10 on there :P

Stephen

@Sterno Agreed. There won't be a cut and dry on this one. I answered, but I can only speak to my experience of no prior experience with the franchise but lots of experience with gaming

TylerShads

I'm wondering if I should edit this into a question more geared towards a list of all the squad members, and how to keep them alive to the end or just leave it as it is?

Q: What is the perfect squad status at the end of the game

Everyone deep down wants to make sure their entire squad survives. So assuming that you go through the minimal losses throughout the series as in: Only losing Kaiden/Ashley on Virmire (Wrex survives) Getting all DLC characters (Zaeed, Kasume) Waking up Grunt and Legion everybody surviving the ...

Ben Brocka

@TylerShads depends if you want to know about the squad or about the general killable characters I guess

TylerShads

I'm having a hard time perfectly formulating what I want in my head. I've been careful to only lose the Virmire Victim in my saves and I want to keep it that way I suppose is what I'm trying to get at, but I wonder if it is more beneficial to everyone to just ask for a list out of all past/present squad members and show how to keep them alive/how to kill them.

Grace Note

3:08 PM

It sounds like the "enjoy" question is something that could be shaped up on if people were to edit it.

Ben Brocka

Do we have a question like this already?

Q: Who are all the squad members in ME3?

We have a list of optional squad members in Mass Effect 3 but I'm wondering what all possible squad mates are and what classes they are. What are all the squadmates in Mass Effect 3 (regardless of whether I can have them all at once)?

user15026

@Tristan I am going to finish the first two for sure.....I don't know about re:Chain of Memories, because I will have to find a copy of it somewhere, and around me, it is impossible. I don't have a psp for Birth by Sleep, so I will probably just read about that one, and I am super hoping that the 10th anniversary box gets released here so I can get 358/2 days, re:coded, and dream drop distance all at once.

Ehhm, I'm not sure I approve of these edits: gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/53941/revisions

SEems to be largely changing the Q, and making it more like the ground we've already covered.

TylerShads

But alas, if KH history prevails, there's no way NA will get that box set.

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka It makes the question title more reflective of the quesiton body.

Ben Brocka

True, but it's hard to tell which was more important, if either

some users don't repeat the question in the body

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka The question in the title has no place on the site

So if that was his question, it should be edited out anyways.

Stephen

@BenBrocka The word "enjoy" was definitely a VTC magnet, I thought "understand" might be more relevant to people thinking about buying this game but not sure if they have to get the others first.

user15026

3:25 PM

@TylerShads they are in Japan at least - two options - a bundle with 358/2 days/re:coded/dream drop distance, and a bundle with dream drop and a KH themed 3ds. I want the 3 game set to come here.

user15026

@TylerShads yeah, that is what I am afraid of XD

user15026

As it is, finding the games is becoming....difficult.

TylerShads

@AshleyNunn I'm still waiting for final mix and final mix + cry ill just go on a rampage if Nomora says "Oh btw, for our loyal Japanese audience, you get KH3, and no one else!" he's the type of evil that would do such a thing

user15026

@TylerShads That would make me so mad. So mad. I mean I am just starting to play the games, but OMG, they are so awesome, and I would want to continue the story, you know?

Ben Brocka

I'm not sure asking whether it's possible to enjoy something is entirely out of the place. It seems like potentially good-subjective and solves a real world, gaming related problem

Not particular Q wasn't great either way, so I don't really care to challenge the edit I guess

agent86

3:33 PM

@AshleyNunn I've played a few of the other KH games, and... well, they're not super awesome.

user15026

@agent86 So I have heard, but I still want to play them - it is the principle of the thing. :)

agent86

The main 2 series games are good, and the others fill in a bit of backstory, but the story gets so super crazy convoluted even at the start of KH2 that by the end it's a tangled mess that they've yet to really attempt to straighten out

Ben Brocka

@agent86 I only played 2. The card thingy GBA game just seemed weird

user15026

@BenBrocka Chain of Memories? Yeah, it looks a little strange, but intriguing. :)

Ben Brocka

I was never a card fighter

Ben Brocka

agent86

@AshleyNunn it's weird. They essentially took the same environments and settings from KH and just changed out the battle system and removed most of the story.

Ben Brocka

And pokemon cards I guess

You could NOT be cool in 4th grade if you didn't have a holo-foil charizard after all

@Sterno not really, though that's probably the only answer

He downloaded the game legally, he just wants to open it without Origin

user15026

@BenBrocka I think the whole "sharing with a friend" makes it seem sketchy.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn they had banned pokemon cards within a year so we had to get our kicks in soon

Grace Note

All I can say about Pokémon cards is that I climbed to the top of a mountain (this took about an hour to climb) to find a kid who would sell me a holofoil Venomoth.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn ohh...didn't notice that part. Yeah, sounds like he doesn't own the game at all

user15026

I missed the whole Pokemon cards thing - girls my age were more interested in Spice Girls and the like XD

Ben Brocka

3:41 PM

@AshleyNunn How terrible for you

Grace Note

It remains my most prized holofoil, still.

user15026

@BenBrocka Yeah, I thought Pokemon was so much better but it was social suicide to admit that.

Grace Note

(Also Venomoth was awesome. Poison and Paralysis? Booya!)

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote my first holofoil was a Magneton in my first pack of cards ever

Grace Note

Booster pack? Don't those automatically have a foil?

Ben Brocka

3:44 PM

I think it, like the rest of my cards, is in a giant unsorted bin somewhere in my parent's house

@GraceNote they always have a rare card, not always foil

At least they didn't used to

@murgatroid99 i think the bigger question comes into play if they ask about where they can find them, then that is closeable. However, asking about what stores have which promotions, I think is alright. Though, I'ma relative newcomer to gaming.SE so I don't have much ground to go on other than my opinion.

@badp That we have a lot of views.

@RonanForman Watching paint dry can get plenty of YouTube views

TylerShads

@murgatroid99 That enters a bit of a grey area when talking about game promotions, because if it is a code like say the MK9 skins, then you could have traded them. But then on the flip, they were released eventually anyway (much like the inFamous Gigawatt Blades) to the public for a cost/download. So knowning who had what in terms of why it wasn't available to everyone is useful, whereas knowing where to find what, is not.
