Hear this, all three choices the Catalyst gives Shepard still follows the cycle. Destroy the reapers, one cycle saved until the next, Synthesis ends Synthetic and organic war the purpose of the cycle, controlling the reapers doesn't mean Organic and Synthetic war is over forever, the reapers, knowing Organic nature in ME universe, a war between races and synthesis will continue and he will have to summon the reapers again and will likely have his mind changed.   

Because the catalyst explains Shepard is the first Organic not Synthetic to reach this part of the catalyst, the solution meaning organic's and synthetic's have created a way to combat the cycle. The new option is Synthesis is the soultion which is why the catalyst joins Shepard.  

For those thinking is indoctrination, I favor this theory but the presence of Shepard and the catalyst changes things. 

I believe that overall Shepard is in the presence of a greater being or a deus ex machina plot as God or on earth mother nature holds no mercy for the path of destruction,after the destruction, the rebuiling begins of a new cycle.

I don't think it's my connection, I can download a 4 gig file or so within 30 mintues. my PSN downloads however start off fast but halt seconds after begining to 1 mb per 5 seoconds or so.

my computer maintains a fast download as well, my PSN downloads just slow down after launching the download.

It should not take 40 mintues to download a 600 MB DLC, in recent months I have really avoided downloading demo's due to this. I believe the downloads have gotten worse since PSN first started.

looking for some light gaming like Diablo 3 and only thing I can tell is the Acer m5 has intel hd 4000 which is better then the 2nd gen. Other then that, I'm looking towards folks here for help.

I don't intend to ruin the story for anyone as I have not finished playing the game but aside from the graphics and uncharted type storyline, the gameplay is not as fluid as uncharted 2. The gunplay of the uncharted series is the weakest element of the series still, Uncharted 3 aiming system, big dead zone and input lag with clunkly controls when actually playing the game. Enemies up close can be quite the challenege due to the controls. Also the hand to hand combat still feels like a quick mini game rather intergrated with the gun combat, the game purposely goes into slo-mo to show a enemy is about to hit you.

As a big fan of series like many here are, the combat is UC3 I truly believe is one of the worst in a third person series game. the cover system and combat don't work well together at all.

It would be balanced if the sniper had to control it but the automatic lock on being away from it is a game breaker.  People are using more and more.

help? is ok to play some older games? thanks. I'm getting the laptop for $399. not the 549 price.

It's been 3 years since I've had this HP laptop, the biggest issue is the battery life (under one hour with medium use), and constantly over heating. I've decided to replace the laptop. I saw this laptop on Amazon, Asus laptop with a AMD E350, 4gb ram for 379. And this HP laptop a special exclusive for 399. it includes AAMD Dual-Core A4-3300M, 4GB RAM. the HP one costs $549 at regular price. I would like the hp one, it looks nice and is better then the Asus one but I don't know about the quality. I mean this laptop Im using works, but it loses it's meaning of portability. thanks
