Title: mass effect 3
Post by: Rclark on 17 Feb 2012, 08:03 pm
The demo is out and I gotta say..  Wow! You can just tell they took it, tried to make it play better, and actually succeeded, not only that but by the demo you can see can the production as far as acting and dialogue are better, the combat slicker and the graphics bumped up a bit.

Probably game of the year when it comes out in a few weeks.

I tried to download it but it requires a master id. How do I get the ID?

Oops. I guess you just make one up. Downloading now.

Yeah, PC. By the way, Amazon has Mass effect 1 and 2 for $5 each today.
EA is using Origin rather than Steam. Is it the same?

The engine? Not sure, but it looks and plays great. I played Two on PS3 and loved it.

 I think that was the best demo of any game ever... kinda had the epic feel of one of the old Star Trek movies, where all hell is breaking loose, the fleet is under attack, and what do YOU do? Love this sort of RPG.  If the full game plays like that it will be even better than 2, which was an amazing sci-fi experience, an incredible game.

 I personally think it will be rated a perfect 10 if the full game is of that level, or a very high 9.

 (I see the opinions there are the graphics nitpickers. Ah, I'm so glad I left PC gaming behind a while ago  :), it isn't about the experience with those guys, it's about I saw a jagged edge there, a slightly washed texture here, OMG!)

On the xbox 360 demo, I can confirm multiplayer is included. I've played on 2 maps so far.

Doing witcher 2 right now. Have skyrim on my list next and mass effect 3 after that as long as diablo 3 does not come out then that jumps to the front of the list :lol:   :lol

Instead of skyrim you should consider kingdoms of amalur. Big huge RPG but with god of war inspired combat.

Played the multi player  demo, so I ordered the collectors edition.  nowI need to finish Me2.  A friend has finished Skyrim and concedes that Amalur is better.  I liked the demo, but did nor buy it.  Loved Skyrim though

I must say that i prefer skyrim to kingdoms. There are lots of places to discover on the map..multiple quests, graphics are awesome too.

The combat is the selling point for me. Is not Amalur just as large? I have neither.

Well, walking home past all the budding trees across the valley with my ME3 copy. Wanted Batman Arkham city but there were no used copies. Traded Mass Effect 2, Crysis 2, and another game.

 Getting rave reviews, looking forward to being blown away tonight after 5 hours of study first.

 Two big IPA's n the fridge and Mass Effect tonight. Shutting off my phone. Heh.

 Yes I studied diligently...

 Anyway, Hop Czar is a delicious beer and I just paid $10 for the DLC, something I've never done before, but Mass Effect 2 was such an incredible experience that I don't mind buying extra's for something so awesome as I'm sure 3 will be.

 This will be the first time I let my modded maggies loose on a game.

 If any of you guys wanna play coop or multiplayer hit me up. My PSN is grimlock442.

Was incredible and you can see they put their millions right into the game. Our gov could learn a thing or two from this dev team.

Bigger and more epic than 2 with a stunner of an ending.

Mass Effect 3 is incredible as was 2 and 1 at the time, it has the makings of a great film that Hollywood would surely screw up.

  This is a fantastic time for gaming as every consecutive release in any decent game series just gets better and better. My kids and I never really liked the Final Fantasy stuff in the beginning so we haven't followed it until a few months back when I found a used XIII???? for cheap and we played it. The opening cinematic blew us the F--- away like jaws dropped and drooling was seen by all. Amazing stuff, I suck at playing them but they are incredible eye candy!!!!

I was great at "Pilotwings" though..... :thumb:

The uproar this game's ending has is legendary. My friend was playing this game, I told him that a lot of people were upset about how the game ended and he told me that nothing could ruin the game it was so good. Lo and behold, he had his wtf moment at the end. I heard they aren't making new endings but providing closure.

Post by: Rclark on 23 Apr 2012, 07:58 am
I loved the ending. It was not like your normal fantasy ending where it's all rainbows and unicorns nor was it boringly, overbearingly pessimistic and dark like a lot of games. It was unexpected, and seemed to fit well.

Loved the forced choices in the game. No wimpy character development here.

The game was drenched with polish and every possible attention to detail. Might I also say it sounds fantastic. PS3 (Bluray) games sound EXCELLENT.

 Bioware is simply a legendary developer. Look forward to enjoying further stories from this Mass Effect univ.
