My knowledge of Tekken canon is very base

But these two have absolutely nothing in common that would put them in such a setting, right?


The movie has one of them used by G and the other by the Zaibatsu to spy on the same guy at a high school. An attempt at a comedy of errors ensues.

Really? Maybe I'll look that up on youtube then. Can't really do it myself since I have ME1 on the PC (along with ME2, Steam of course) but my laptop can't really run ME2 and 3 all that well, which is why I switched to PS3 for now. Really sad that there's no ME1, but oh well. One of these days I'll have a great PC that can play them perfectly.

Uh... yeah, anyway. I'll look the ME1 DLC up on youtube. Can't believe I've never done it before >_>


Bring Down the Sky is actually free on PC. Just FYI. I mean, yeah, you won't be able to import the effects, but playing is always better than watching.

How long did it take to go from 50 to 100, approximately?


Not too awfully long, maybe ten hours spread across a number of days. As long as you're choosing unknown location you get 3-4% per match finished (or near the end, but let's just say finished). 20-25 minutes per match, plus an extra percentage point needed per day you spread it out. So 17 matches, plus however many extra days you want, figure 6-8 hours.

Note that this is all sticking to bronze; I've no idea if silver/gold award more percent or not.

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently they're saying Commendation Packs will take longer and should all be out by 9 PST. So they have til midnight before I start complaining again. =P

Also there's now a Premium Veteran Pack available. 33000 creds, with 2 Uncommon or better guaranteed and "a higher chance for Rare."

You're just wasting time. The ending won't be any different.

I mean if you're enjoying the multiplayer, great. But you still shouldn't be allowing it to hold you up on beating the game. That should take priority.


Maybe it won't, but it's still a thing that I can do and therefore a thing that I will do. Just this first time; after that, it'll just be multiplayer whenever I feel like it. And right now I feel like hitting that particular target.

Reapers are the most difficult enemies. I don't think I can even get through Silver against them, very much less Gold. Cerberus are less difficult, geth are probably the easiest.


I was lucky, I had a squad several levels higher (we're talking 17-20) who kept reviving me. My mere 10 (not 11 like I thought earlier) was no match a lot of the time.

BroShep is awesome, anyway my favorite assaults rifle is the Mattock. Single fire, high power, very accurate, it was the gun I used almost the entire game. Only drawback.is the small amount of ammo you can carry for it.


I used the mattock in 2, but shifted to the prothean beam for 3. With this came a shift in my power usage - whereas I used adrenaline rush all the time in 2, in 3 I've been mostly concussive shot. As soldier, obviously.

The Star Wars characters were console exclusive, Yoda on 360 and Vader on PS3. Then way later, they released Yoda as DLC on the PS3 and Vader on the 360. I'm not sure if either was on-disc, but that's still pretty nickel-and-dimey. The only thing is that it ended up being inconsequential since no one in the fighting game community was allowing the Star Wars characters anyway, and I'm not even sure that changed after they were released as DLC.

But yeah, that's the only instance of characters as "premium content" from Tecmo that I'm aware of.


Dampierre. Tekken 6 didn't have any DLC characters (or DLC at all, that I can remember), and all other add-ons for SoulCal 4 and 5 have been on-disc.

Nah, didn't have any problems with it. There might be someone you need to talk to first. Bring up your map. It'll usually show you where the terminal is.


Sequence of events: Got the email from that salarian Spectre. Met him outside the Spectre office. Went inside and talked to Kasumi. Went to the computer and authorized the omnitool to work its magic. Went and did a bit of planet scanning and a number of other Citadel quests. Went back to the embassies, stood in front of the terminal. Nothing. Brought up the map, paged through the different maps, still nothing. Rather annoying.

EDIT: I did a search and found that others are having trouble with it, but usually the problem seems to be on the second terminal, not the first. And bringing up/paging through the map seems to fix it for them.
