Mass Effect 3

The demo goes live on Valentine's Day, but you can gain early access to it right now.

Anyhow, its two parts, one is the opening/tutorial, and the second part is much further into the game to give you a feel for the combat.

Its an interesting approach.

Won't really spoil anything, but it seems to be Mass Effect. Which means the shooting works, but is nothing special, and biotics are a keen part of combat.

One cool feature that they have is they allow you to pick from 3 different playstyles. One that favors combat and makes dialog choices for you. One that focuses on the story, and makes combat easier for you, and one that combines the two for a more traditional ME experience.

So anyone else try it out?

Is there a PC demo out? I am currently playing the original for the first time for PC, and I plan to play 2 after I finish 1. I cant imagine going back to the console version after playing them on PC.

How do you gain early access...?

Not that it matters, I guess. I won't be playing the demo. I know I'm going to buy the game (pre-ordered!) and I don't want to spoil anything. I'm pretty excited though. I've been replaying ME1 and ME2 to gear up for it.

Same. If any game does not need a demo, it's Mass Effect 3.

I havent really paid any attention to ME3 on purpose. Tho I know Jessica Chobot (IGN) is in the game. I plaid the last DLC for ME2 tho, to gear myself up for ME3.

I think every game needs a demo.

In addition, this demo will also give folks a chance to try out the online section of the game, which can be a make it or break it for some.

There is a mini-game / kinda lottery thing on Facebook that you can only do every 2 hours. You can win the demo code or The Normandy ship as an avatar item. It seems like its for the 360 only.

I want to play the demo just to see what they did with the gameplay. To see what they took out/ put in, and a little swan told me that weapon mods might be back, which I would like to see. Weapons in ME2 were a joke. They held no meaning, they simply just existed. No one talks about ME2 and says "oh man, this one gun I had set guys on fire and froze them". There was a sniper rifle in ME1 that I fitted with the best explosive mod, so I could only shoot it once before it over heated and had to cool down, but it was so powerful and awesome.

Could be diff based on class, but only thing I found in the demo was a mod for your pistol. A better scope or something like that.

Nabbed this exclusive end game photo, notice the Quarian helmet. Probably Tali's cause she sucks so much.

Played the single player demo, was pretty fun and since I have a Kinect I got to try out yelling things at my TV. Now I just need to remember everyones attacks and everything will be all good.

And what happened to Admiral Hackett! If he got casually killed off im gonna be pissed.

I thought this was real for a minute.

You are mean.
