well what EA is allegedly doing here is worse than DLC, they're cutting out a part of the completed game, a story part, and making you buy it separately.
but that's not even why I'm going to wait until the game+all DLC is cheap on steam. it just looks to me like the story has fallen apart, and the gameplay is now fast paced mowing down hoards rather than creep slowly behind cover and take out enemies carefully.
EA does it again
.
yep, though using the mona lisa is a stretch. most games these days would be more like, I don't know, blue duck?
There was another game that did this over the past year - I can't remember. Bioware's excuse is that "we started working on it once we completed the game!" I agree it's pathetic.
The funny part is that I pirated ME2 and I still ended up shelling almost $40 for all the DLC/Cerebus network access shit
I pre-ordered ME3 because I figured I owed them one.
Code:Originally Posted by Timvp Hanging yourself by your junk puts you into a separate category.
I remember back in the day, playing Half-Life expansions like Opposing Force. Now that was an expansion pack. Time's have fucking changed.
To tell the truth, I don't care either way. I'll pirate the DLC like I always do.
I pre-ordered today. Only been into ME2 for a couple weeks and used the Genesis DLC to catch me up and I'm loving this game so far. Miranda is a sexy bitch.
Picking up pre-order after work (if I ever leave) from Gamestop, tbh.
too many video games .........
"Tim Duncan is killing the Lakers!"
People fucking hate the ending. Don't know about the gameplay.
Can't pick this up right now as much as I want to. I would never find time to actually work. I might have to wait until after finals and that makes me incredibly sad.
Wow this game is fucking retarded and I haven't even started. I'm trying to access my ME2 character on my new black console but it's not working - apparently EA is aware of this issue. Horribly idiotic and irresponsible.
So going back to my original xbox with ME2, my character (I've had all since ME3) disappeared. I can see the most recent character I played with however. My saved game says the name of my original character when I go to storage.
I might just return this
same I can't access my character so I said fuck it and started over
Apparently you can use a usb stick to transfer the saved game over if you have the ME2 file on another console still available.
My second issue is that my DLC was all deleted, so I *think* it inactivated all my other saved games where I had DLC character in it. So now I'm gonna re-download all my ME3 DLC to hopefully access the other saves. Lunacy.
EDIT: Nope, didn't fix it. Gonna sell and pirate this out of spite.
yeah I could see this being a big issue for higher level ups I was only level 20ish no biggie
I'm still in disbelief, lol. I'm still downloading about 4 GB of DLC to see if it can recover my other saved games. They funny part is that I'm forced to play on my 20GB XBOX, where I can't install the games if I even want to have a chance to import my save I've had for almost 5 years.
Jesus christ EA destroys everything if touches
I'm enjoying it so far... haven't had that much time to play though. I had no problems importing my character but I know many others have - mostly people on PCs that uninstalled ME2 but kept their saves. Bioware's response has been to reinstall ME2, load up the save you want to import and resave it. I didn't know people on consoles were having problems though. I upgraded my Xbox HDD a while back and have had no problems.
About the game. The marketing for this game has been pretty misleading with its "take back Earth" business. While that is Shepard's focus(he's really trying to unite all the races/political powers to fight together), the entire galaxy is overrun by Reapers. One of the early missions takes place on a moon orbiting the Turian homeworld and that planet looks more devestated than Earth does.
Because the Reapers are everywhere, you have to avoid them in the Normandy. While you scan planets for resources and war assets, you increase Reaper awareness in that system. Also because of the hurried pace of the main storyline, some of the secondary missions will time out if you don't do them quick enough. That sounded shitty to me at first, but it hasn't been a problem yet. Just clear your journal before advancing the main story and you shouldn't miss anything.
So far so good. I still have concerns about how much your past desisions really impact the outcome of ME3. I guess I'll find out why so many people are bitching about the end soon enough.

I started playing a new game as well, trying to get over my tragic loss.
I'm actually happen the whole "take back Earth" human-centric marketing campaign was just a ploy. It seemed against the nature of a a game that built itself on being so much more than just humans in the galaxy.
I'm about 8 hours in, and it's a good game. As redzero said I've heard things about the ending, but I won't think about it now. The customizable weaponry and loot is pretty good. I find the cover system in combat a little wonky though - I can't keep track the amount of times I've just popped out of cover for no reason, worse than ME2 in that respect.

How I felt after finishing the game.
a lot of people hated the ending fuck I'm so tempted to spoil myself I'm still a long ways to go
i youtubed all three endings and am confused as fuck...
I saw the endings on YouTube, too. At least there was a point to doing everything in Mass Effect 2. The endings in 3 barely differ.

I'm probably 60% done my playthrough. I've said in the past this trilogy took a Matrix-esque turn, so I expect ME3 = Matrix Revolutions
Game isn't bad so far, although I ended up playing a New Game so everything story-wise & character-wise is fucked up.
@ the ending I had for ME3. Oh boy.
The last level had excellent build up too.
I haven't bought the DLC but Javik (The Prothean) seems to be the best ME troll ever.
