Mass Effect 3
« on: February 29, 2012, 08:11:03 AM »
I'm very excited for this but it won't be stocked in GAME or Gamestation, the slow death of retailers is apparent.

Anyways some decisions I feel are gonna bite me in the arse, still should be a good game.  :D

Anyone else getting it?

I already bought it via origin, now just have to wait a little bit longer ;)

I've played the demo and to be honest I expected more pump at the very beginning but otherwise they chooseto make a dramatic one - cool but could be better :P

Multiplayer is... well ... uninspiring to say at least (at least the one in DEMO) compared to Battlefield it is too dull, simple defense against wavesof hostile troops, fun for 5 minutes then meh, yawn and quit game :(

I do hope multiplayer will be better, anyway I bought it mainly for SP.

The single player should be the best, dare I say better than skyrim?

I'm sorry to say that although I loved Mass Effect 1 and 2, I won't be getting Mass Effect 3 as long as it is exclusive to Origin...

I bet 70% of Origins users only have it for Battlefield 3 or Mass Effect 3...
Did you know I'm on Twitter?

Although I enjoyed Mass Effect 1 and 2, I will not be buying Mass Effect 3 due to EA's lame attempts at additional cash grabbing. They have plans for "Launch Day DLC", which is content that should've been a part of the game, at no additional cost.

Oh you mean the content that is on the disk but you have to pay to unlock?
Hence why I'm not buying it right away.  EA will fold, just give it time.

Yeah pretty much ME1+2 effects what happens in 3, so you have a personnel experinence and have to live in the world of the decisions you made. Yeah I hope all goes well or i'm playing 1+2 again  :funny .

After wasting 62.84327416% of my life so far on ME1&2, and still having a lot of spare life to waste on Skyrim (need...level 5...VAMPIRE!), I'm going to wait a bit on ME3. Most likely June. Mihi strenuissimus erit :P
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Got it, loving it

Pro-tip: Do every side quest you can and explore every system to 100%

You no longer have to scan each planet individually, so its less tedious.

Does EDI still wearily make the joke if you scan and probe Uranus?

Just finished up the Mars mission this morning.  Wow, I am extraordinarily impressed.  The characters look better and move better than in ME2(especially fem-Shep's walk cycle).  I'm thoroughly pleased with the slight tweaks to the combat, especially the melee.  And the DLC stuff that came with the N7 edition just adds to it.  Though I'm currently using the Chakram Launcher that I got for doing the demo of Kingdoms of Amalur.  That sucker is AWESOME.  A fully charged shot kills those jerks carrying shields with one blow.

Also, I like that you can have one of each weapon type now, even though a Soldier couldn't use a sub-machine gun previously.  I was weirded out that the armory was moved.  While I can kinda agree with the Alliance's thinking on moving it to the hanger deck, an armory near the airlock on the CIC deck wouldn't go amiss.  I also like that the first thing Joker says to you when you go to talk to him is a complaint.

I'm kinda disappointed that the two Cerberus engineers from ME2 were gone.  Out of all the Cerberus personnel, they seemed to have their heads on straight. EDIT: Never mind!
