Have you tried out multi/co-op yet?

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

Ya ive been playing it for the past hour or so. Its just a simple wave based mode but its fun, although some of the objectives that appear every 3 waves or so can be really annoying and unnecessarily hard.

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

I just finished the original Mass Effect for PC. A great game absolutley, but what are all these people smoking when they say this is a 30 hour game? Took me 17 hours. Maybe it may push 30 hours if you complete every boring side quest. I did a few side quests, and still managed to be at level 40 by the end of the game. Maybe the PC version plays faster?

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

There are a few not boring side quests. Im pretty sure I spent more than 30 hours in the game, but thats because I did everything, otherwise no, the main story is not 30 hours long.

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

I Think I did absolutely everything and clocked 50 hours on one. I just started up a new ME2 and the profile I imported had 50 hours on it

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

Played the demo last night.

What a mistake, now I'm dying to have this game.

My ONLY complaint is that the A button does too much crap. It runs, it rolls, it takes cover, it activates things.

Says the guy with a Gears of War avatar in his signature...

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

Well, in gears of war it runs and takes cover, and activates things. (doesn't roll). Also, you so very rarely ever need to activate things that that function doesn't count as much.

In ME have to interact with stuff constantly, which results into a lot of random rolling and taking cover, especially because the game will highlight something you can interact with when you look at it, but you have to look at it the "right" way in order for the option to activate to come up.

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

"A" button is for roll in Gears too. Its the "X" button that is used for activating things though, so almost the same. :p

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

That's why I don't like computer games, too much left-mouse-button clicking. ;)
I want a mouse that has 14 buttons, each with an individual contextual purpose that hardly arises so I have to fumble from time to time to remember "What the hell was roll/cover/use/interact/buy/sell/swap/reload/shoot" because it's on a button that never gets used.

If only they can transfer the 40+ individual keys onto a controller so that one button is only reserved for one action! Maybe some type of...keyboard controller. :ohreilly:



Anyways, srsly, I gather this game has blown everyone away so far?
I should really speed up and finish ME2.

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

I am really digging everything so far. I was trying not to amp myself up for the game so I wouldn't have to endure the wait, but now I am really excited.

Re: Mass Effect 3
 

When watching that video I was expecting a light saber battle to ensue.

Ive been playing ME2 again to get another character file ready for import to ME3, and I keep wondering what kind of ship class the Normandy is. I think its smaller than a frigate, but it might still be classified as one.

I'm upgrading my alert level to fully pumped now.

Playing Skyrim is the only thing that has allowed me to ignore my outrageous Mass Effect 3 boner.
