Less than 24 hours to ME3

[V TheSystem V]

87 hours for me.

I live in the UK, and was one of the unlucky...many, who pre-ordered from Game. Now that my pre-order has been cancelled, I can no longer get the Limited Edition *sobs*

Meh, will live with standard edition...and trade in Resident Evil Revelations so I get it for about half the price.

The excitement hasn't hit me yet, but it probably will on Thursday after I get my exam results determining whether I get into Uni or not.

Oh yeah, gotta keep focused. Good luck, hope you do really well. ^_^

Thank you very much! I'm only getting one result back, but I need a B or else I may not get into any of my Uni choices (all want 3 Bs).

Mass Effect will calm me if I do badly. And alcohol.

I pre-ordered the CE, but I live in Belgium (sadly enough) and it's cheaper to send it to my family in the US and pick it up at Easter when I go to visit...
So a little more than a month for me.

Just a suggestion and you more than likely have thought of this, but if the CE package is fairly small it wouldn't cost much to send it by mail. I've send things to the Netherlands and England and it was pretty cheap. Especially if your family could send it in one of those "if it fits, it ships" flat rate boxes that they have. At the very least they could send you the game and you could get the extras like the lithograph and art book at Easter.

I COULD do that, and I really LOVE Mass Effect (why else would I be getting the CE otherwise?), but I just have, to quote Han Solo, a bad feeling about doing that.
Anyway, My birthday is at the end of March, so it'll be just like a birthday present then!
(Pretty much the best friggen gift ever, amiright?)

Oh yeah, and my family is known for saving money wherever we can (not that we're poor, but it's not a bad habbit to have)

Totally not a bad habit to have! And I can understand worrying about it in the mail. Some gets some kind of hint that it's a CE of ME3 and it would be very likely to be stolen. Just wanted to help you out if I could.

The only question I still haven't answered is whether I'm going to Walmart or Gamestop at midnight.

Walmart may or may not have it, and if they do I'll have to pester one or two employees to go find it in the back fo rme.

Gamestop will have it, but I'll be forced to stand in line with people so unhygenic I'll need to take a shower myself when I get home. Last time I chose Gamestop and had to put up with some teenager trying to hit on the female sales clerk using D&D references. I wanted to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spork.

Leaning heavily towards Walmart, extra armor code(whatever that means) I'll get at gamestop be darned.

Christ, tell me about it. I'm getting mine at Midnight at Gamestop. I preordered the N7 Collector's Edition when it was announced so I wouldn't miss out on it.

But man, there are some nasty kids there. They actually think the employees give two shits about them. They seriously just stand there and blather on about what they're into and all sorts of nonsense. I feel for the employees sometimes.

Regardless, I have mine payed off already. I'm taking my girlfriend with me to repel the social retards and neck-beards, grabbing my copy, and running like hell before the aroma strikes us.

I forgot that the gun thing was Gamestop exclusive. Awesome! I'm a sucker for little extras like that... Free extras.

yeah not here i live in the UK, it comes out on Friday here and it'll probably get to me by Saturday or Sunday so i will have to ignore the forums all week or i will explode with OM GOSH I NEEEDDD THIS GAME NOW

 

[Zeraiya]

All I know is that I'm going to be avoiding the internet like the plague until the 9th because that's the time I get to play Mass Effect 3, and I really don't want any spoilers of any nature, what-so-ever.

And yes, I think I'm about to explode due to excitement. I've had this preordered since the beginning of last year.

 

[D Moness]

Now the biggest decision who to flirt with this game. I mean my Shepard is more or less a s**t anyway. Flirting with Kelly Chambers but having sex with Liara and Garrus.

Might go with Garrus again (unless he likes calibrating too much again >.> , then he can hump the ship for all i care)

 

[ShadowsofHope]

I've got my Collectors Edition on Gamestop pre-ordered, so I'm constantly refreshing the orders page until the order says "closed" today.

..And then the minute it comes in the mail, the entire day will be completely gone to it.

DAMN YOU LAST DAY ANTICIPATION!!

Yeah right now Amazon says "Shipping Soon" which I think means they've taken my money, but I can't help but keep returning to Amazon to check and see if by some MIRACLE it's shipped. I know it's very unlikely that would ship out at 1 pm, but....I can hope, you know?

Gamestop order shipped around noon, it looks like, I just got my shipping confirmation. (Read: edit)

Shouldn't be too much longer for Amazon, I'd imagine.

Question? Just found this out: Why the fuck is Snooki (formally known as Jessica Chobot) in Mass Effect 3? Also who is this James Vega guy? Please tell me I can kill them in the first few seconds of seeing them. They look HIDEOUS. James, not as much as Snooki-Wannabe, but good lord.

I read somewhere you can opt not to bring that ugly creature on your ship if you don't want her. I hope it's true.

I truly hope so. Why did they even think that was a good character model? It looks hideous! Frightening! Absolutely Grotesque! But truly, how did that get passed the testing stage?

The testers are offered frequent bathroom breaks? I think I'd run out of bile by the end of the first day of testing.

Nothing is better than free though I kind of wonder why you're not already at the gamestop, waiting. You know others are after all. If had access to a game stop and didn't like amazon so much I'd have totally camped for HOURS.

Yeah me too. As soon as VGA awards announced it (because you know it was so hush hush no one expected it) I ordered it. Though it wasn't until october that I went in and traded up for a Collector's Edition. I was SOOO sad when they bumped the date back to March. I was like "Wait what? NO! You promised me! December, DECEMBER!"

As to the whole Snooki thing, I would not be surprised if the Bioware designers didn't like her either. XD And she possibly could have seen it and actually thought it looked good...caused it showed her virtual tits.

She just looks... plastic. Same with Miranda and the new Ashley. I don't understand how fans are not up in arms about this. Or did I miss the memo?

Great now i have this song in my head

Less than 24 hours to finish my final playthrough of ME2...time to get to work!

 

[Smeggs]

SO it's less than 24 hours to Mass Effect 3 so let's just have a bit of a get together and talk about it.

To start off the discussion, are you going to a Mass Effect midnight launch? Or are you waiting for it in the mail? Or maybe you're waiting for used or a price drop? And are you preparing in any way for the game?

I'm going to the midnight release only because I have no college classes until tomorrow evening, so I decided I'd rather play into the early hours of the morning, sleep, and then play some more before going instead of getting my copy tomorrow afternoon and only getting about two hours with the thing.

I really have made no special plans other than this. I already have my personal perfect runtrhough of ME2's story with all the DLC, which originally was my perfect runtrhough of ME1.

She just looks... plastic. Same with Miranda and the new Ashley. I don't understand how fans are not up in arms about this. Or did I miss the memo?

Since when has what the fans wanted affected EA's decisions at all?

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

Lucky you, I have to wait till the 9th -_- (seriously though I'm not bitter)

There's also the fact that now my local GAME and Gamestation won't be stocking it (and I hate using Amazon. Don't ask me why, I just do for some reason) the only place I'll be able to get it from is from HMV, and just to give you some perspective, what HMV charges for new games, especially hotly anticipated titles, and extra especially ME3 now they know their competitors won't stock it, is somewhere in the realm of TOO FUCKING MUCH.

I will still get it, corporate rent boy that I am, and I'll love it all the same, but I think from that day forward the 9th of March shall become a day of remembrance for what was lost from my wallet.
