I hated that analogy in the game, no I do not agree with the Illusive Man. TIM wanted to control the Reapers for power, Shepard just wanted them to leave. I chose blue to save everyone.
I'm four hours in now.
SPOILERS
SPOILERS
I must be doing something wrong with my weapons load out because I am stuck in a mini-boss battle getting the female Krogan off the planet (the battel with the mech).
I have a lot of money too, so that's probably a sign I should have been buying better defensice gear as well.
Anyway. So far the game is cruising along at an "8". Feeling like there was a little lack of imagination in terms of the story structure. I just spent X hours in ME2 rounding up the posse for some big event, then I get to this game (totally confused because I did not get the ME2 DLC that sets up the start of ME3) and then the story devolves into "lets round up the posse" AGAIN.
Well, I'm only 4 hours in, maybe it changes direction from here.

Not sure what you mean as this game you start with basically the full team you have for the whole game. What the game does is take you to visit all characters and get closure on most of them as the galaxy comes together to fight.
Do you have the Javik DLC cause he is the best character in the game.

So far it looks like I'm going from system to system to get diplomats. Just as in the first game I went from system to system to get my party together (whom all died at the end of ME2).
I'm rolling with a bunch of randoms.
EDIT: No on Javic.

The plot of the second game was very basic where it was basically assemble your team for the big assault. This game is split into three acts and while you do go to talk to people the story is moving forward. Its much more like the first game.
Okay, cool. Yeah like I said, only 4 hours into it. Any advice on upgrading weapons/ armor?
Looks awesome on the U:
Okay weapons were the problem. I slightly upgraded adn combat is easier now.
Going and playing Red Steel 2 for an hour also made me appreciate Mass Effect 3 much more. I'm sorry ME3, I'll never say bad things about you again, just don't make me go with the bad man.
And a reference only Leo will get. Deadly Premonition called, they want their dream sequences back.
Those two pictures look like they're from different generations. 
I see Mass Effect likes to borrow from the best. I just did the Reaper Data Cluster mission.
This is from Saint's Row The Third (Major Spoiler if you have not played the game):
So this happened:
For the record, I don't have another 360. It took me back before my last checkpoint (which was at the very end of a mission), threw me into a cutscene I had not had earlier, I chose a dialog option and got a different achievement from the first time I finished the mission.
I'm not complaining, two cheevo's for a few minutes of inconvenience. But uh... yeah... premium development skills, not much.
I have to say, if you listen to the spoiler sections on the end of the last two podcasts (including the one coming today), it is amazing how completely different the story sections are based on what has happened before. It's like Vader and me have played completely different games.
Like I said, we talk about it at the end of podcasts 126 and 127, if you have finished the series it might be interesting to listen to.
I've barely started the series and 126 was still interesting. 
For some reason I couldn't care less about ME3 spoilers. Maybe I'm just expecting the ending to be completely pointless because of how much everyone hated it.
So was a choice given? I only had one ramp to go up, shot up something or other and then the galaxy was destroyed.
If given a choice I would have chosen to wipe out all organic life, so I guess I got what I wanted.
The ending, while nebulous, was not unsatisfying at all. The last 3 hours of the game made the preceding time spent with the game seem rather trivial.
So... all in all, I thought the game was better than mediocre. I fell through the world once more. I'll read up on wikipedia what the actual story was.
Chose Blue? So you sided with the Illusive Man's ideas? For me, I just wanted whatever option it took to keep Shepard alive. I couldn't bear the thought of he and Liara not being able to have their bunch of little blue babies...
