Out of Pod Experience

Just picked up my midnight release copy its installing. Anyone already played? What do you think so far?

******** staggered release dates..........................

I've seen a few recent youtube videos complaining about the sucky ending, but no one spells out what the problem is. Any ME fan know what the fuss is about?

Still that ol' space-toy space flight. Lame.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/mass-effect-3/user-reviews
Positive: 143
Mixed: 18
Negative: 498

WTF? Either someone is gaming the metacritic user reviews, or ME3 has real issues?


By comparison, ME2 had 1,050 positive, 56 mixed, and 80 negative user reviews. ME1 had 584 positive, 29 mixed, and 40 negative.

edit:
Never mind. It looks like metacritic is being trolled.

ok, so i'm dog sitting and it's not going well. i want to be playing me3 but this mutt won't leave me alone. I'm about ready to make general tso's out of him.

not far into the game, just toured the normandy for the first time, here are my observations so far:

-thus far great blend of action and story. i like a story heavy game. we'll see if it does the one thing you must on a story heavy game, make it interesting and loooooong

-great blend of old characters and new. i can already tell by the subtle details that they put thought into making it both nostalgic and new. def. gives the game good momentum in an already fast paced beginning.

-ashley got hot. i don't mean a little hot, i mean wowzers! i had to edit my perfect paragon save to include her and not kaiden after seeing those previews. and I'm glad I did.

As I stood in that hospital room, my heart strings ready to break, I realized something. Gripping the Tennyson book I'd just purchased for Ashley, at the brink of tears I said to myself, "this is one epic rack".

We're talking an 11/10 here. All of earth is dying and all I know is this chick is so spot on fit if it's all I am I'll see it that she survives. Should our cities burn, our monuments crumble and our species be snuffed like so small a candle in a large darkness... there would be that one lasting ember lit. A pin point of light in the darkness. That light would be Ashley's bountiful tracks of land. I swore myself guardian of them and their gravity defying illustriousness. I thought to myself, I'd put a bullet through my own foot for one chance to... ahem.Hmmm. Where was I? I got a bit off track there.

-what did they do to the layout of my ship? meh, I'll live

-Is it just me, or is everyone gay? Not as in a juvenile mockery of something different than me, I mean actually gay. I've met like 15 people so far in this game and, well I don't want to be that person I don't have a problem with it, but seriously I did perceive a couple "We're here, ..." moments, possibly. But that's still cool. Forget I said anything, moving on...

-ok, I'm going to say it. Is anyone checking green cards down here in the shuttle bay?

i'm not saying that to be mean, but I would like to ask EA why they sequestered the only non-alien ethnics to the shuttle bay. yeah, that's two in a row for me but really I'm not intolerant. Just trying to honestly review this game here. besides 'pendejo' I didn't write the lines ea did. so mr. jerseyshore, or mr. vega or whatever can't blame me for the image that... yeah, i'm just digging myself deeper. moving on...

all joking aside after da2 i want to hate these guys. i tried to swear to myself i'd pirate this game and only pay if it proved to be really good, but it's mass effect. who am i kidding?

i'm getting giddy playing this game. it seems to have the appropriate polish it should. the right amount of old and new. it's too early to tell but so far i'm pleased with my purchase.

we'll see how it does in the long game. time to batten down the hatches, i'll see you all and the rest of civilization in a week. it's time to save earf.

Marketing, the source of all genius.

Played few hours yesterday and so far it's been much better than I expected. If they keep this up I'll be a very, very satisfied customer. Had to stop playing for a bit as I was laughing so much when I got punched by you-know-who lol.

Import saves only allowed me to pick one of my 4 saves tough, but as it was my favourite I don't really care that much.

EA has succeeded in utterly ruining Bioware. There is absolutely no merit to be found in this game, and it is a crime against all things good and pure in this world that gamers are allowing EA to get away with this sort of thing by continuing to give them money.

Deus Ex's endings? Funny you should say that, actually...

(The linked URL contains unhidden spoilers for Mass Effect 3's ending. Not that you should actually care, but... well. Consider youself duly warned)

Precisely and the sad fact is people are going to buy them all, the worst part is they even trolled us by not revealing Tali's face! :(

Oh you forgot Mass Effect: The return of the reapers MMORPG, they'll make us all make generic, boring and stupid characters where we have to pay to have proper customisation and you go off fighting giant reapers wherever they appear in the galaxy.
