Mass Effect 3

Oh... that's good to know.

Laa-Yosh, are you involved in the game ?

EDIT: Had a brief chat with the XMB chatroom people.

They seem to love ME3 co-op, pushing me to get the game to play with them. ^_^

 

[Laa-Yosh]

I've just read it on the net, I didn't have anything to do with the actual game itself.

Why no impressions yet from our NA folk

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Guess the game's keeping them busy )

Want to play this on PC, but since Bioware insists that PC users don't want controller support, all they get from me is a big "Fuck You!" while I wait for the game to hit the bargain bin.

I AM ADDICTED!

I'd also like to add that I think the graphics can very from pretty good to very very good. The brightly lit environment in the intro that was featured in the demo is not a strong point. While the environment itself looks pretty good in that sequence, the characters look much better in the areas with atmospheric lighting, like in previous games. Some of the aliens and armour look absolutely awesome. I will say that I've noticed a number of graphics oddities throughout the game. My favourite was a bugged conversation with Liara, where for some reason the characters heads were turned about 90 degrees, looking off into the corners of the room. It was pretty hilarious, but those kind of bugs really dispel the illusion. Overall, having a lot of fun with it.

I can't help but wonder if they stretched themselves a bit thin with handling multiplatform development in-house...

I'm not too too bothered by it, but I'm curious why people are unable to import the custom sheps from a ME1+ME2 save. I know the stats and choices transfer over, but for some reason the custom face won't.

If someone already got a game and is from EU, he can go to lan settings and use this proxy [218.189.26.158:8080] before game activation Its one time activation and even multiplayer works without it.

wooo just saw this, gonna try it now.
But I forgot how to use proxies.

Put in 4 hours last night. It's everything I love about the ME series. It seems like they mixed in the best of ME1, the looting and inventory, with the best of ME2, the combat and pace.

The only complaint from me is the animation of Femshep walking. What's with the arms? It's like they are in the wrong place or something. I haven't play Manshep yet, I hope he doesn't walk like that.

Looks more like a short QA schedule. A little over 2 years doesn't sound enough considering the scope...

My custom face went over fine. I just wish the creation screen used better light, because my Shep is way paler than I thought he'd be, and I had trouble distinguishing eye and hair colours. Partly that's my red/green colour dependence, but would it be so hard to actually say somewhere on the screen which colour you are selecting?

Yeah, also want impressions about the ME3 co-op game mode. Was told the co-op format is like UC3 Co-op Adventures (My favorite game mode !).

I may not be able to complete the SP part, but a good co-op game mode will suffice for an immediate purchase.

Same with mine, though I do recall making some tweaks in ME2 to sort of represent that well... burning up in atmosphere might change someone. >_> *ahem*

I've made a few more tweaks for ME3 to make it look like he's getting a bit weary. had the same problem with one of the hair colours (black vs more black? or is it some slight shade of brown?)

I'm using my "renegade" character first, but I also want the most war assets, so it seems like I have to kiss ass every now and then (i.e. the reporters, though I did save before talking to the one person just so I could see what the renegade button did ).

Why don't you try the demo? Though I'm not sure there's nearly as many folks playing that now.

Going to try to pick up ME3 for the PS3 today. Only report I've seen on the frame rate for the retail release seems to indicate it's comparable to the demo, but Eurogamer hasn't spoken up yet. ;-/

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Got it
Letssee, a paragon infiltrator and a renegade soldier, plus a female sentinel stuck after the collector ship at level 18, but all with a complete ME1-2 history... Now where will I find the time to complete the game with ALL of them?...

Sooo this isn't true?...

If your ME2 save game doesn’t have a face code, you’ll have to recreate your Shepard’s face in ME3. That’s the only thing that will be affected, everything else (plot, background, etc…) will be imported. This has been comfirmed by one of game devs.
Which saved games don’t have a face code?

1. New Game+ saves
2. Games which have an imported Shepard’s face from ME1

1. - New Game+ saves aren’t a problem as long as you created/edited your Shep’s face in your first run. Load up your first run for the face code.
2. - Some people may have a face code even though they imported thier Shep’s face. It’s sort of a bug: If you import your ME1 save, select the customise face option , then back out and choose to import your ME1 Shepard’s face instead, you will end up with a face code. The face code is for the customised Shep that you started to make, not your imported ME1 Shep.

Sorry, I'm still finishing up my ME2 play through so I haven't even started ME3 yet.
