Mass Effect "Add-ons" Death from Heaven "and" Top Station "in Russian \ DLC" Bring Down The Sky "&" Pinnacle Station "RUS". Achievement guide Mass effect addition station summit

New downloadable mini-addon for Mass effect called Pinnaсle Station, came out a long time ago, however, oddly enough, there is no information regarding it on the Web. Even the Iksbit game department, famous for its responsiveness and reviewing the first mini-addon, Bring Down the Sky, almost on the day of his appearance, keeps a mysterious silence. As a result, I found out about the release of the long-awaited add-on, where we were promised "more drive" and "gladiator-type arena battles", almost by accident. I was surprised to find that, in contrast to the already mentioned Bring Down the Sky, a newbie is by no means free - in the European section EA Store they want 4.99 euros for it. Well, what can I do - the habit of legal products in recent months has grown in me completely, and, disdaining torrents, I uncovered the credit card. The exchange of a little over two hundred hard-earned rubles for a little over two hundred meters of traffic was successful, and I started to get acquainted with Pinnaсle Station.

As well Bring Down the Sky, new location available at any time of the passage, while Shepard has freedom of action (that is, after receiving the spectrum patches, but before landing on Wyrmire). The star system, in which the "Top" station awaits us, is carefully marked on the galactic map with the corresponding flag - again, like the asteroid X57 in Bring Down the Sky... But the motivation for flying there sounds rather strange.

Mass effect and so they scolded enough for the fact that the declared intensity of the plot did not correspond to the real gameplay. Well, that is, they wash our ears for a long time on the topic of the fact that Saren is, they say, ahead of us by many steps, that not a minute is to be lost and that the fate of the Galaxy depends on the speed of our actions, and then they are suddenly released on free bread, where they are allowed to fly along different planets and endlessly distracted by small side quests(and often these quests themselves are given out - they say, you, Shepard, are still running past here, do us a favor, figure it out). As a result, the writers strenuously pretend that the timer is ticking, but in no way motivate the player to hurry up. I am still ready to forgive the very asteroid X57 from the first mini-addon - there is really a critical situation, the whole planet is under threat, so you can forget about chasing Saren for a while and pull Shepard out. But here it is! "Hey Shepard, there is a station that hosts the tough fighter competition in virtual reality! Do you want to fly, test your skills? "Yeah, that's what they say. The fact that these same characters told me a little earlier about the ticking timer and the golakteko danger is so garbage. Wait, they say, your Saren.

Okay, to hell with them. He cheered up on the captain's bridge of the "Normandy" and barked to the Joker to fire the place. Station "Pointed turret" turned out to be a rather small room of two rooms, in which three characters hang out with normal dialogues, two with monosyllabic remarks and about five dumb extras. I endured right on the doorstep a hairpin from the humanophobe Vidinos of turian nationality. I went inside, talked with the human admiral Ahern, the commander of this computer-gaming club, about the fate of virtual reality in these difficult years for all of us. Finally I got to the local system administrator - a salarian with an abusive name Alud Ohren. As a result of a conversation with all three, I found out that there is absolutely nothing to do here, except to go through these very missions on a virtual simulator. I went to pass.

There are four types of missions - hunting (kill as many enemies as possible in a limited time), capture (take all control points in the minimum time), race against time (destroy all enemies in the minimum time) and survival (hold out as long as possible against infinitely respawning enemies). There are also four maps on which this disgrace occurs - mountains, jungle, cave and warehouse. Moreover, there are no new items and landscape details there - everything is the same as in other locations of the game. The mountains and the cave are pieces of the planet on which we are saving Liara, the jungle is the vicinity of Saren's base on Wyrmire, and the warehouse is quite typical, found in the game more than once. Whoever wanted new sensations flies by. Each mission takes place on three cards(in a cave, mountains and jungle, only a race against time - in a warehouse, in the mountains and jungle), in total we have twelve sadly monotonous tests that need to be overcome. Initially, however, only eight are available (two cards for each mission).

Overcoming, by the way, is not easy - you need to take first place in the table of records for each of the missions, and the scores of the local regulars are simply fantastic. At high levels of difficulty, you have to be a sharp Quaker, and for people of non-arcadian orientation, like me, the addon is basically impassable. I had to step on the throat of my own pride and reduce the difficulty of the game from insane to the easiest. Well, at least the number of approaches is not limited in any way - a lot of nerves and time are saved on the save load.

Further, it seemed, it went more interesting - after winning the first mission, the misanthropist Vidinos started a scripted dialogue with one of the human extras and declared him a cheater. Shepard, of course, stood up for the honor of the race and declared that without any cheats, in full view of the entire station, he would become the first in all competitions. It smelled of quest, intrigue and all that kind of stuff. But hopes were in vain - everything was limited to the fact that after I took the first lines in eight tables, Vidinos sprinkled ashes on his head and dropped the charges, and the acquitted person offered me any of his guns as a reward. After that, they recognized me as a powerful father and gave me access to four more missions - I mean, they added one card to each of the modes. Indignantly asking "Is that all ?! And where is the intrigue ?!", I trudged off to go through the newly discovered tasks. Having passed them, he was awarded another scripted dialogue - this time with the admiral. He discreetly praised me and offered to go through a custom mission, which this elderly modder in his free time sculpted on the engine of a state-owned virtual simulator. She recreates the operation in which the admiral took part in the years of his turbulent youth - to penetrate the enemy's camp, steal important data and, firing back from the oncoming adversaries, wait for the evacuation. Since I prudently left the difficulty level at a minimum, the passage did not constitute any difficulties. It took me about ten minutes, of which five was waiting for the evacuator ship.

This completes this addon. As a result, the touched admiral presented me with his dacha on the outskirts of the Universe and tearfully said goodbye. The dacha is a miserable semblance of houses from production games Bethesda and contains the following:
1. Dull desert interior in the spirit of the rest of the game, one piece.
2. Radio playing soundtrack melodies, one piece.
3. Dispenser with endless free grenades, one piece.
4. Dispenser with endless free honey gel, one piece.
5. Terminal for communication with the arms dealer, one piece.

The terminal is the most interesting of the above. It is somewhat reminiscent of the notorious one-legged boy Wirth from the notorious game. The bottom line is this: you pay money - you get a random item. There are contributions of 5,000, 75,000 and 220,000 credits available, the steepness of the item is proportional. The attraction is reusable, so you can, with patience and a tight wallet, stock up on at least a full set of the coolest game items.

The result, alas, is sad. The addition takes, of course, not an hour and a half, as Bring Down the Sky, but more, but exclusively because of endless replaying in a circle of the same missions in the hope of getting to prize place... There are no characters as such, there are no quests as such, there is no plot either, inhabited by robots. If we add to this the blatant inconsistency with the global plot and the colorless final prize, we get a simple conclusion - the addon has been merged. The station "Apotheosis" does not cost its five euros in any way, it is recommended to purchase only for the collection. It's a shame that such a great game as Mass effect supplied with such an empty and worthless makeweight that loses in everything Bring Down the Sky- and at the same time, unlike him, it is by no means free.

P. S. Someone there, I remember, was indignant with addons for Fallout 3? Yes in the background Pinnacle station they look like real game design masterpieces!

P.P.S. The only good thing in the addon is

The first addition is Death from heaven (Bring Down The Sky). It represents just one additional game mission. The plot of the add-on tells the story of a group of extremist aliens - batarians, preparing an unprecedented terrorist act in the Asgard system. Terrorists plan to unleash asteroid X57 on the human colony Terra Nova located in the system. Only the crew of the "Normandy" under the leadership of Shepard is able to save innocent people from mortal danger and prevent the end of the world on a single planet. The mission becomes available immediately after Commander Shepard receives Specter patches.

Key features:

V game world added new race: batarians;
A new one appears available for research Exodus sector, in which there is the Asgard system;
There is an opportunity to increase your game character development score by 50 points.

Second addition - Pinnacle Station... In it, you will get the opportunity to visit the secret Alliance station, where you can go through 12 combat scenarios to become the best of the best. The station will become available after Shepard becomes the Specter. After completing all 12 maps (three in each scenario) with maximum rating may open additional card(simulating one of the battles of the War of First Contact), in which you need to get intelligence and survive for five minutes under the incessant attacks of the turians. Breaking all records, he can get a new weapon. The Pinnacle space station was created to train the finest soldiers. Using virtual simulation, fighters train in four different patterns:

Survival - a team of three people is trying to repel the incessant enemy attacks;
Time trial - you need to kill a certain number of enemies in the allotted time;
Capture mode - capturing and holding points on the map;
Hunt mod - similar to the Time trial, only the time increases with each kill.

After passing all the cards, a restroom opens as a reward, which is located on the outermost planet - from the center of this system. There you can replenish grenades and panaceline ammunition, there is an audio system for background music and an extranet port. You can buy various goods through the port - from upgrades to armor.

Installation: We throw the folder from the archive DLC to the game directory C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Mass Effect or C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Mass Effect.

Mass effect 2

Main plot

Mass Effect 2 is the second part of the Mass Effect trilogy, the events of the game unfold 2 years after the events of Mass Effect. A notable feature of the game is the ability to import game character from the first part, which allows you to continue the passage of the series, taking into account all plot decisions made earlier.

Main plot: Commander Shepard- the main character of Mass Effect - is engaged in the destruction of the residual pockets of resistance of the geth - the main opponents from the first game. During one of the raids, the ship of the commander "Normandy SR-1" is attacked by an unknown enemy, and after a short fight is destroyed, and Shepard is thrown into open space. While the commander is officially dead, the Cerberus organization, which received Shepard's body, is busy rebuilding and rehabilitating the commander.

Due to the attack on the station, Shepard is forced to prematurely leave the space station where he was recovering. The Commander meets with the Ghost, the leader of Cerberus, who offers him cooperation in which Shepard will have to investigate the disappearances of the population of small human colonies. During the investigation, it turns out that collectors are behind the abductions - a little-studied race that practically does not come into contact with anyone. The Ghost invites Shepard to take over the formation and training of the team, while Cerberus has to gather information. Also "Cerberus" provides Shepard with a new ship, named "Normandy SR-2" and to some extent is an improved version of "Normandy SR-1"

After completing the key missions, the location of the collectors' base becomes known and it becomes possible to complete the final mission. Losses in the last mission largely depend on the degree of preparedness of the crew and the ship, on the preparation of which the attention of the game is mainly focused. It is noteworthy that with insufficient preparation, Shepard can also die in the final mission.

Mass effect 3

Main plot:

The game begins in one of the largest cities on Earth - Vancouver. Captain Shepard, the hero of previous games in the series, is on Earth as a suspect due to
cooperation with "Cerberus" and the destruction of the repeater. In connection with the approach of the Reapers to Earth, Shepard is summoned to the Council of the Alliance, where he must present his vision of the situation and propose measures to combat the Reapers. At the same moment, the expansion of the Reapers into the Solar System and the invasion of Earth begins. Shepard has to urgently leave the planet to go for help.

The first stop is Mars, where the Normandy team finds Liara T'Soni and blueprints for some Prothean weapon (the so-called "Horn"), created by the Protheans to destroy the Reapers. Here Shepard first encounters "Cerberus", who has his own understanding of how to fight the Reapers.

Throughout the game, Shepard will have to enlist the support of other races of the galaxy, resolving long-standing conflicts between them, help allies in difficult situations, and also find the necessary resources to build the "Forge".

Towards the end of the game, Shepard learns the location of the secret base "Cerberus", where he will have to get the information necessary to complete the "Horn". Shepard manages to find Prothean data, from which it becomes clear that for the full functioning of the Forge, a Catalyst is needed, which is the Citadel. At the same time, it is revealed that the Ghost informed the Reapers about Project Horn, which caused the Citadel to be directed into Earth orbit, where most of the Reaper forces are located.

At the same time, in London, the Reapers built a special device for transporting the dead bodies of people to the Citadel. The Alliance and all allies gathered by Shepard attack the Reapers to gain access to this device. At the cost of huge losses, Shepard and Admiral Anderson still manage to get to the Citadel.
Here they meet the Ghost, fully controlled by the Reapers, and stop him, thereby ensuring the successful docking of the Forge with the Citadel, which, however, does not activate it. Shepard loses consciousness.
Upon awakening, he discovers a certain mind that calls itself "Catalyst". It is revealed that it was the "Catalyst" that created the Reapers and the cycles of destruction. Catalyst explains to Shepard that "Creation will always rebel against its creator, creating chaos." According to "Catalyst", if you allow civilization to develop further, then in the end it will create artificial intelligence, able to enslave them themselves, and thus destroy all organic life in the universe. To avoid this, cycles of destruction were created, when the most advanced races of the galaxy were destroyed by the Reapers, after which new Reapers were created from them. Also, "Catalyst" informs Shepard that this solution no longer works and that it is he who needs to make a choice that will determine the further fate of the galaxy.

There are 3 endings available in the game, and only the fate of the Earth essentially depends on the degree of readiness.

My assessment of the game, despite many controversies - 9 out of 10

Mass Effect is an action / RPG game and therefore is more time-consuming than any action game due to its emphasis on history. Achievements are not particularly difficult if you play smart, but the game will still take a lot of your time. If during the first playthrough you pay attention only to the story, then you can go through it in 17 hours. The other two playthroughs should take less time if you skip dialogues with the X button. Just do not overdo it with the speed of pressing, otherwise you will accidentally choose the answer before you have time read.

Note:

I got some feedback on the estimated travel times. It took me 32 hours to get 1050 points in this game, so I thought it was okay. Apparently not. As I said, I went through the game for the first time at 17 hours, but this is taking into account the fact that I just rather wanted to end it, and therefore did not study different planets, did not carry out missions to collect minerals. If you do any of this, you can safely at least double the travel time. If you just run the game like I did, then everything should be over quickly.

Step 1: character creation

Step 2: Normal Difficulty

The first step is to get the Apprentice achievement on the Citadel. Only one entry can be missed - about the Proteans. You can learn about them from Captain Anderson, who is standing near your ship. Talk to him about everything in a row until you get the record. During the first playthrough, I would advise you to get the achievement "Ally of Azari" (Liara), and also take the Soldier (Ashley) into the team to balance the squad, since Liara is pure biotic. See the guide to find out how quickly you can get Liara on the team. Try not to complete any tasks until you find it, then follow the further instructions for obtaining the achievement. If you do everything right, you will get the achievement for Ashley at about the same time as the "Runner", and the achievement for Liara - after the completion of Feros and Noveria, but before Vermire. During this playthrough, collect Paragon Points. When you finish the game on normal complexity, will open Hardcore.

Step 3: Hardcore Difficulty

You can start new game and use the transfer of the character from the first playthrough to this. Enemies will be balanced to your level, which will make the game a little more difficult. Levels 51-60 will also become available, so you can keep going up. This time I took Kaiden and Garrus to the team. Follow the Allied Achievement Guide, though this time it will be easier. Collect Renegade points on this playthrough. When you complete this walkthrough, the Insane Difficulty will unlock.

Step 4: Insane Difficulty

Continue playing with the same character and choose the last two allies (if you followed the guide, it is now Tali and Rex). The bosses are much more difficult this time around, so be careful.

Step 5: finishing touches

You, as a soldier, will not have any special abilities, so you will have to create new characters, Adept and Engineer. Play until you've unlocked all of their abilities, then use each one 75 times on the Citadel Express. Hacking AI is the only achievement that will have to be knocked out of real enemies, but this can be done almost at the very beginning, on the turrets, when you meet Fist. Save before this point, then load the save as soon as you crack both of them. If you still haven't earned one or more achievements for weapons, start a new game on below normal difficulty with your “big” character (from steps 2-5) and finish them off.

Medal of Honor - 100

Complete Mass walkthrough Effect once on any difficulty.

Complete the main story. I would recommend starting with simple difficulty. No, normal is not hardcore, and veteran is not insane. Just play for fun, figure out what's what. Save up money for the next playthrough. Be sure to always bring the same allies with you. Do everything with them side quests... Don't worry, they will open later in the game, sometimes at different stages.

Medal of Heroism - 25

Complete Feros.

Feros is a planet with colonists and there is no snow there. You need to talk to the leader, kill the geth, and then - this is important - talk to him again and reach out to the people in charge of food, water and electricity. You need to complete their side quests! After that, move further along the air highway, visit the Exo-Geni scientists, find Elizabeth, return to the colony. Now either load the grenades with anti-Torian gas or kill them all. Please note that if you kill them and have not completed their tasks before this, then you will NEVER be able to do them.

Distinguished Service Medal - 25 points

Complete Eden Prime.

This is the very first mission. Important: if you want to get achievements for insane or hardcore difficulty, then set the corresponding difficulty in the pause menu, but BEFORE you land on Eden Prime! This has been confirmed on the Bioware forums. Just kill all the Geth, then deactivate the bombs by going up to them and holding A. After that, go to the lighthouse and the mission will end.

Council Legion of Merit - 25

Complete Wyrmire.

Wyrmire is a planet whose coordinates you will receive from the Council. First, when you land, you will need to destroy the enemy air defenses, and then go to the salarians base. You can make peace with Rex, who wants to save the cure from the "genophage". Don't worry if you don't have enough Paragon or Renegade points, you will have the option to do so later in the game. Now choose who will go with the salarians, Kaidan or Ashley. Then, during the battle, you will need to choose who to save. If the character with whom you are building a romantic relationship dies, then they will end there.

Honorarium of Corporate Service / Fee for corporate service - 25

Complete Noveria.

Noveria is a snow-covered planet. And there you will meet Lady Benezia. To get into the garage, you need to help Lorik. Go to the garage, kill the geth and go. In the complex itself, it will be necessary to activate the VI core. Either complete the Tower of Hanoi style puzzle or spend 100 Omni Gel on it. Then you need to activate the reactor and land lines. In the tram, kill the rahni, but first take the elevator down to the survivors and get a pass to the hot laboratories. Activate the purification system and run from there. Return to survivors, ( spoiler) kill them. Go to the end and into the tunnels. Find Benezia. To kill her, you MUST first kill the Geth and Azari Special Forces. DO NOT FIGHT HER. After the start of the battle, kill the Azari Special Forces attacking you, then run to the right and kill the Geth and Special Forces. After talking with Benezia, she will attack you again. Kill ALL enemies, then kill her.

Long Service Medal - 25

Complete Mass Effect twice on any difficulty.

After completing the game on simple difficulty, or any other, start a new game with the transfer of an existing character. Make sure you change the difficulty setting in the main menu to Hardcore.

ATTENTION: When you start the game, on Normandy once again make sure that you have Hardcore difficulty in order to kill two birds with one stone! If you land on Eden Prime and the difficulty was not Hardcore, you will not receive the corresponding achievement.

Distinguished Combat Medal - 25

Complete Mass Effect once on Hardcore difficulty without changing the difficulty level.

ALL organic enemies will have resistances. They will shoot very accurately and will tear you to pieces. Use cover often, but watch out for missiles. Use the equipment of the Spectrum Master and many biotic abilities. All enemies have the same level as you.

Pistol Expert - 10

Get 150 Pistol kills.

The pistol is available to all classes, and the easiest way to get this achievement is if you start using the pistol right away. Regardless of the class, pump the Pistol so that the Sharp shooter skill opens - it will greatly help you in obtaining the achievement. When you get the skill, use it as often as possible, so the pistol is much more effective. Even if you are not playing a soldier or a class with specialized weapons training, this achievement can still be obtained. The main thing is to attach as many accuracy improvements as possible to weapons that you do not know how to use, and all stabilizers to a sniper rifle. It's certainly not as comfortable as playing with a specialized class, but better than nothing at all. Also, teammate kills do not count.

Note: Sentinels are not trained to use pistols, but they gain pistol bonuses from their class skills.

The stats for each weapon carry over between playthroughs and careers. Even if you fail to get 150 kills in one playthrough, what you have already achieved will be carried over to another playthrough.

Shotgun Expert - 15

Get 150 kills with the Shotgun.

Cm. " Pistol Expert»For details.

Shotgun training is only available to Soldiers and Guardians, but the achievement can be done by anyone. Try to get as close to the enemies as possible. It is most convenient to fight the Huskies and Thorian Crawlers, as they themselves run up close.

Assault Rifle Expert - 15

Get 150 kills with the Assault Rifle.

Cm. " Pistol Expert»For details.

Only Soldiers can be trained to use Assault Rifles, but the very best can in principle be used by any class. But any other class will have to focus on improving accuracy and also overheating. Assault rifles overheat very quickly if you do not watch it.

Sniper Expert - 15

Get 150 sniper rifle kills.

Cm. " Pistol Expert»For details.

Soldiers and Infiltrators are the only classes that can be trained to use sniper rifles, but with enough enhancements, other classes can use them in one way or another. Regardless of the class, focus on improving stability so that the scope does not wobble too much. Chances are that even with upgrades, he will still stagger, so you may need to learn how to aim like this. It is difficult but doable.

Lift Mastery - 15

Use the biotic's "Raise" ability 75 times.

Create a character of the Adept class, as they know how to use all biotic abilities. Travel to the Citadel and target the Citadel Express. Use Lift, Throw, Warp, Singularity, Stasis and Barrier (although you can simply turn it on when you run). Then wait for the abilities to recover and repeat the process until you get the achievements. The adrenaline rush will ease the situation, as it immediately restores all abilities.

Note: Allied abilities do not count towards this achievement.

Throw Mastery - 15

Use the Throw biotic 75 times.
