My pre-ordered copy is just fucking sitting at EB.

And I'm not off work for another hour an a half. This is like a situation where a fool gets between a bear and its cub. And work is the fool.

This was me just a few minutes ago.


Also, a big "fuck you" to the dude in front of me in line mocking the Xbox 360 version of ME3.

You looked at least 25, and you were buying ME3, with your mom. Bro.

Any word on what version is bestest? Probably PC, but the asinine exclusive of controller support turns me off, plus I can't rent it for PC.

Ya, I had my guy since ME1 that I accidentally made look like Wesley Snipes from demolition man, and there was no way id be able to make him look like that again off memory, so I just decided to go with default Shepard.

Although I dont know if thats all thats wrong with importing characters, cause I beat ME2 about a week ago and started that character on ME3, and apparently Mordin died even though I have no recollection of him dying at all. He just decided to stop living between ME2 and ME3.

I've heard some rumors that there are problems with ME3 importing your choices, or just deciding to change them or ignore them, but I haven't seen confirmation anywhere yet.

I liked Mass Effect 2, but mainly cause it was more Mass Effect, I didnt find the story of it all that great, but with Mass Effect 3 its really involving and making me feel emotions and stuffs. I begin to care about what im doing rather than play just to see what happens. Makes me think of how I could have handled something differently in previous games, but theres no turning back now. The gameplay is a lot more fluid, and you can actually buy weapons and armor mods at shops, instead of just finding them thrown around levels you can only visit once. There is also the weapon mod system which I think is great, it lets me customize my weapons to suit my style of play and makes them feel more unique, rather than "heres this new gun, i guess I should use it.". Its not an extensive system, but enough to give shooting guys more personality. Powers and biotic abilities can be used in combos now, such as using singularity, then using warp to make it destabilize and explode, or freezing a guy then hitting them with concussive shot that makes them shatter and freeze anything nearby. And getting a headshot with a sniper rifle has never felt so rewarding. Honestly, while playing this, im putting a lot of "me" into the actions I make, which leads to a more satisfying result to me personally, or if I made a bad choice ill feel guilty or uneasy about what I just did, but that it was probably the right choice to do.
And most importantly, out of all the cities anywhere on the planet, they chose our home city to be the setting for the start of the game.
Theres my pitch i guess, now go, go and reap what you deserve!

Is it just me or did the Illusive Man grow a few feet? He looks eight feet tall.

I started playing and imported my ME2 file and forgot that a few peeps died in the last battle, but can't remember who. I wish I had the option to just revive them, I don't want to miss out on anything. Maybe I should start a fresh character instead.

So Bioware's number one excuse for the day one DLC was that they created it after development was done.

Turns out this was most likely a lie:

Fresh character doesnt mean everyone will still be alive. Im pretty sure Wrex would be dead if you started a new one, and hes the most important. Also, if you go to the crew deck in the Normandy, right in front of you when you get off the elevator will be a plaque with the names of everyone who died. A lot of mine are random names cause I didnt save the crew in ME2.

Id really like to believe that EA is the one behind this, its seems like something they would do, but Bioware just needs to nut up and admit they fucked up.

Seems the facial importer has issues if you're importing a character from ME 1
If its from ME 2 or you tweaked it a bit in ME 2 should be fine

Finally got around to playing this. Its pretty epic, but I feel that I am watching a lot more cut scenes where I just watch and not choose any dialogue.

People were originally speculating that choices were limited in just the demo, but it sounds like the entire game is like that.
