[Eibe Novy]

Welcome to the new Mass Effect thread, with the imminent release of ME3 we expect a lot of posts to begin filling this thread. Lately a lot of the posts have concerned Bioware and their policy on Day 1 DLC. Or even EA. This isn't the thread to critique them. There is however a Bioware thread where you can go and discuss that matter. It would be appreciate by fans of Mass Effect and the moderators if you can keep the topics separate of each other. To this end I've added a link to the Bioware thread where you can feel free to critique them to your hearts content. This also includes other things such as their limited collectors edition policy and any other thing you can think of. Thank you in advance.

With spoilers soon to be rampant make sure to put them in a spoiler to not ruin the game for people. The spoiler tags can be used like so [spoiler r] and the matching tag would be [ / spoiler] with no spaces an dremoving the extra r in the first tag. Below is an example spoiler.

Thread Rules:

• This is an ongoing topic for discussion about Mass Effect series, so keep the discussion on the games.
  
• It is understandable if you don't like Mass Effect games. We have no problem with you sharing this, but this is an ongoing topic. As such, it is primarily based on the positive aspects of the games, so if you don't like them don't post.
  
• This is an ongoing discussion and some people don't like Mass Effect games. If you try to provoke them it is just as bad. If you do disagree with someone, please don't drag it into a fight. This topic is primarily for what we like about the games and our ongoing experiences.
  
• Respect forum rules. If you are unclear review them here.
  
• Respect for other forum members is perhaps the most important. We all have opinions and we are all human beings. Treat each other with respect.

Anyone else think that the live action trailer looks really cheesy?

I don't think I remember a live-action trailer for a video game that didn't.

Well I meant the look of things, the guys armor looks very plastic like. It at first looked post apocalyptic showing the capital building all dark and stuff.

And skyrim's looked alright.

The more excited I get about the game the more certain I am that there will be some unfortunate complication with my CE and I won't be getting it for several weeks.

^ Actually a serious spoiler. Do not click if you don't want a hint as to the endings. ^

[Matthew Barrows]

Dat trailer.....

[Judy Lynch]

So, I inadvertantly discovered the leaked ending yesterday and I kind of lost the interest to buy the game. Then, I watched the trailer, and was considering pre-ordering ASAP. Then, somebody in the comments posted the ending. With more detail. Yep. Not sure "what do" now.

[Penny Wills]

Not sure "what do" now.

1. See the spoiler in my post, above.
2. Laugh.
3. Decide whether it's about the journey or the destination.
4. Decide whether that journey/destination is worth it.
5. Make some other decisions.
6. Buy it or don't buy it.

[GabiiE Liiziiouz]

I guess I'll still go for it. I've been waiting since I finished ME2. I'm just worried I'll have the ending hanging over my head the entire time.

[LittleMiss]

Saw the Gamespot livestream they had on ME3. I love the music and the combat but my biggest problem is the amount of Autodialoge that Shep says. Basically it's 95 % of the time when Shep speaks, no choices or selections at all (He had it on RPG mode too in case you wondered if it was on action mode). This will definitely be my last Bioware game I buy unless Dragon Age 3 is a miracle and I'm not expecting that to happen, not while EA is the publisher. It's a shame too because ME3 fixes a lot of problems that I had with ME2.

[Jaylene Brower]

Pretty sure I won't get too much support here, but why not.

Anyone getting a halo vibe. To me those bad guys (you can tell I'm not really a fan) seem like a violent primitive forerunner, just because they have to kill the galaxy.

Quick heads up to any of my British compadres looking for a Collector's Edition after GAME's fiasco.

Went into HMV today, Pre-ordered an N7 Collector's Ed. Said he had 5 allocated to him since a few hours back.

Phone your local, phone 'em now! ( Well, perhaps in the morning. )

I wish. It would be the most interesting thing Bioware's done since BG1 and Boo ever. Alas, I fear it may almost certainly not be true.
