Davkaus Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 For PC Origin is compulsory and it's not on Steam. No sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2012 Demo done. I guess the best thing to say would be it's definitely Mass Effect. Demo shows off 2 bits, the very opening of the game and a later action sequence that gives away a decent amount of the plot. I dunno if it's just been awhile since playing 2, but it felt and looked a little worse to my eyes, but that could be just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Don't think it's been mentioned on here, and it's a little late anyways really - seeing as the demo is out tomorrow anyway (I think) - but there has been early access to the demo available on Xbox since the weekend if you do this little ME app thingy on facebook. Havent bothered myself, but know a fair few who were playing it that way over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2012 I wouldn't bother with the demo tbh. If you've played 2, you know what you're getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I don't have enough time to finish my mega ultra bitch renegade FemShep run on xbox, so I've ordered the game on PS3 aswell so I can do my first run through of ME3 on that with paragon BroShep I have never bought a game for 2 seperate consoles at launch before, as really, there has never been any other point. But with the differences in my runs on the various platforms I think it'll be worth it. I actually have ME1 & 2 on PC aswell...my very first game was on PC but I switched to the consoles after that. Only downside with playing it on PS3 first, which means no ME1 save data, is (I presume) not seeing the conclusion of the Conrad Verner side quest...imagine if I miss out on him becoming an alliance hero or something. Considering the amount of time he took up over the first two games (10/15 minutes?) he certainly left a lasting impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_c Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Mass Effect 3 currently has a Metacritic user rating of 3 out of 10. I'm not sure if this is largely due to a mass log-on by homophobes not liking the gay romance. But this was in the Dragon Age games so they must be slow aswelll as stupid. I hope it is this. Because people will burn down the EA offices if this turns out another Dragon Age 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think it's mainly a reaction to the fact that the game allegedly does a lot of things that are going to really piss off the people who loved the series thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its something to do with the ME community being pissed off about the way Bioware have incorporated Tali's face into the game. Apparently they ripped it straight from some artists blokes portait of some random bird, causing the community to be up in arms about Bioware being lazy programmers. Just a bunch of tits with nowt else better to do IMO. Who cares where they got her face from?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 3 can basically be summed up as 'Go here to turn a computer off. Oh no you can't turn the computer off from here, you will have to go here now instead. Important character dies.' Well, that's my experience so far. Edit: and Tali can **** off forever as well. I can't stand her. Hope she dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Could Game use this to their advantage? "Actually the reason we're not stocking ME3 is that it's shit!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Only started playing it but I'm liking it thus far. It plays the same as ME2 (which is no bad thing) and looks slightly better. Why change something that isn't broken? On another note, I had a quick go of the online multiplayer and it seemed a little pointless. I may try it again at some point soon, yet I'll focus on single player for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Played a few hours earlier but it hasnt pulled me in to the extent that I just want to jump straight back in. I've played some FFXIII-2 and have Journey to start before I'll back back to it. Ho-hum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Completed it yesterday, not impressed. The whole game was cheesy as hell and Bioware's attempt at a mature story is embarrassing. They aren't the company they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywho had my copy from Tescos arrive today, will get some time in later. I also only had to tell 6 people during my shift that we weren't stocking it. Could have been worse.

They aren't the company they used to be. So far I'm enjoying it MASSIVELY, for me it's what Star Wars ROTS (which I still think is a decent movie btw) should have been. Absolutely epic.
