I’ve gotten into ME3 multiplayer recently, bit dissapointed by the lack of people sometimes, especially in Gold. Having played only three or four months I don’t really have the gear to carry a team either. I don’t think anything will fill the niche ME3 does until ME4. There is nothing quite like it.

I have been playing Defiance for awhile, since I stopped playing ME3. It is not a bad game, However, be aware it is a shooter with with a social aspect added. There are a wide range of activities, PvE, PvP, GvG. However, there are still many bugs that need to be resolved. There is no real roleplaying aspect, I miss that from ME3.

In reply to William. That is something I really dislike about the game. I miss playing with my friends from other countries. Apparently you can get around it in the PC version, but not the console version.

The other thing about Defiance is that servers are local, i.e. if you’re in the US you will never meet anyone from the Europe / other servers (unlike MP in ME).

Cheers,

In reply to girlplaysgame. There will always be the few of us still dedicated to Mass Effect. Though we may dwindle we shall never stop crusading against the Reapers.

In reply to Garrett. Ha that gave me the lulz ... I tried watching an ep of Defiance and couldn't get into it, so I figured I'd just replay the campaign of ME series again :) Ah, satisfaction.

I’ve been playing defiance for a few weeks now and judging from the people on my friends list who play it, it seems like it’s a detox for mass effect 3 addiction. Side effects may include defiance addiction.

Hi, first post here. I’ve been looking forward to this game 2 lol but there is something stoping me from buying it >.<

If I may, just to kill time for a while, while you get the game (if you go for it) I recomend you to try a game called Dragon City since I read you like iPad casual games and played dragonvale. It's a simple and fun game.

Anyway, I like a lot your blog and found it pretty usefull when i played ME3 congratz on it!

Having gotten further into the game than when I last responded, I would like to make an addition.

Though, I still feel that the story would be hindered without watching the show; I would amend that sentiment to being the overall atmosphere, ambience and world is lacking slightly but the individual story of the game is quite good (compared to other MMOs I have played).
Also, if you absolutely feel the need to “wean [yourself] off ME” this is almost certainly the game to do it with.
