Poll: Mass Effect 3 Rage!!!!

[isometry]

ME3 Gripes:

-Origin Exclusive. I only buy PC games on Steam, and I don't accept the practice of publishers like EA forcing me to make an account with them just to play their single-player game.

-I don't mind so much that ME 2 turned the series from an "RPG" into a shooter, but the series lost me by changing the tone to "action blockbuster", by the end of ME 2 I felt it was about as sci fi as Michael Bay's Transformers, and everything that's been released and leaked about ME 3 confirms this shift. For me the first Mass Effect was a decent imitation of KoTOR, and the revelations about protheans and reapers were fun. But by the end of ME 2, I realized that they had already wrapped things up to my satisfaction in ME 1. The only thing left is to have some mega battle, but there are no character arcs or plot mysteries left that I really care about - and after the boring answers about the collectors and omega-4 relay, I don't trust EA to wrap up mysteries in a satisfying way anyway.

my main problem is You gotta come down here with an attitude, actin' all big and bad I could've been at a barbecue! But I ain't mad removed some stuff that wasn't relevant

I'm just going to come out and say it: ME1 was the best ME. The combat was kind of weird at first, but, I liked the fact that you had to train in crap to be good at it - not every class was a crack shot, unless you put points into it. Also, there were so many skills, it made you want to play through the game a few times to max your skills out. I liked the different classes of armor, manufacturers of guns, etc. It was cool, and I liked all of the detail it added into the game. Flavor text is sweet.

I like the fact that they're bringing back some of the inventory from ME1 that they gutted in ME2, but, I don't feel like they did enough. Yes, I know we don't get to screw around with the inventory in the SP demo, but, if it is anything like the MP inventory, I'd like more. I was really, really disappointed with the lack of a true inventory in ME2.

Otherwise, I like some the design ideas. I like the idea of allowing every class to carry any weapon, but some classes (soldier) can carry more weapons/heavier weapons than other classes (adept). I'd prefer weapon skill trees, but this is a pretty good idea as well.

Oh, heavy melee is great. I think it was a really good design decision. Makes your character feel a lot more flexible in combat.

2) Don't even know why you think I care about the people in the middle. As far as I'm concerned, anyone unwilling or unable to make up their minds are pussies. Full stop.

There's a difference between not being able to make up one's mind and one being open to faults and still enjoying the games. The idea that someone must either be a fanboy or hate the series is like saying somebody must either be a democratic extremist or a republican extremist. There is a middle ground, in fact that's where upwards of 90% of people are.

Do I like the game? Yes.

Would you call me a fanboy? Most likely, as I even call myself that sometimes.

Do I think the Mass Effect games are perfect? No.

1. Shepard's face is almost always lacking emotion in normal dialogues.
2. You can always tell when there will be a fight due to the appearance of chest high walls.
3. Several of the characters are rather 2-dimensional.
4. Friendly AI has it's moments that annoy me. Such as when they randomly charge 5 enemies.
I could continue this list for quite a while.

I have pointed out faults in the games, therefore I don't think the game is perfect.
I also pre-ordered the Collector's Edition because it is one of my favorite series.

I am the middle-man. I like the series, but I don't think it's perfect. I don't know if you care about me. But you can't deny I exist.

First off this is not about the launch day release of DLC for Mass Effect 3, this is so I can voice my own gripes, and allow you to as well, with what I have seen and played of Mass Effect 3. My first problem is probably something that is just due to the demo but it doesn't feel like you got much say in what was going on. I know that some of you might think that it is because of what kind of play setting I was on, but I played on both Story and the RPG one and there wasn't really a difference. And for my secondly, and this only occurred once, was a lag in the Multiplayer on the Urban Ghetto map which caused me to fly up in the air, fall back down, die on impact, and then respawn while falling under the map to where I could apparently kill people when I couldn't see anything. Finally is Ashely's new look. I know most people don't care but Bioware or EA or whoever is to blame just made her look like a hoe. When I seen it I was just "Nu >:C" Besides these little things everything else is awesome and I can't wait until the 6th.

I think it is just the fact that it was a demo, I'm sure they'll give you a better feel for things (hopefully) in the full game. Your second problem is just some glitch that will hopefully be fixed, nothing like that ever happened to me so it isn't too big of an issue. Thirdly I don't mind Ashley's new look, some chicks get slutty, it just happens man, it time to rejoice not be upset that the prim and proper (*****) woman has changed.

 

[Beryl77]

I voted no. There are a few minor issues but I don't really care about them enough. I haven't seen anything that has changed and that I really don't like.

 

[Zen Toombs]

Ashley disliking Toombs dislikes Ashley.

Also worried about Prothean, but not disliking.

Extremely worried about [bodied]EDI though.

 

[Condiments]

Main complaints:
-Fluctuating overall quality of dialogue(sometimes its good...sometimes its really bad)
-Reaper villainous 'decay'(our humanely incomprehensible Machiavellian plan of dominating the galaxy is landing on earth and shooting red lasers so things go BOOM!)
-Still feels clunky/stilted compared to Gears of War
-Still too cover-reliant in terms of combat
-RPG elements are threadbare(I know its a demo, so this might expand in the future)
-Multiplayer feels somewhat lackluster(was hoping more diverse and interesting objectives. Feels too cookie cutter for a horde mode)
-Ashley's character design looks eh....too unprofessional? She looks mocked up for some beauty pageant or a date, what was wrong with the last design?
-Prothean DLC

I'll see what others say about the game before I purchase. Still way too apprehensive.

 

[Ddgafd]

My main complaint is that the sensitivity is high even on the lowest setting. While I prefer a lower sensitivity and definitely think there should've been a slider for it, it's not a huge deal and I'll get used to it. I am tempted to say that Normal difficulty is pretty hard, but I don't think that's a real complaint because you can just set the difficulty lower.

 

[Condiments]

I agree the caps locking is over the top, but I understand the frustration. This is just how I felt when ME2 came out and all my fears about EA murdering Bioware and wearing its skin were realized. However Im long since past it, Mass Effect 3 has just been icing on the hilarious cake, what with all the Jersey Shore trolling by the devs and the ashley redesign shenanigans . . . and Rasta Prothean LOL.

Speaking of which...

Well, I don't like how everyone sprints like they have to take a crap. But, mainly because I find it too distractingly humorous rather than actually hating it.

As for the rest of the stuff, nah, nothing I really hate. I can't even muster up any bile about multiplayer anymore, suffice to say that it's fun with a friend in short bursts.
But I have my expectations lowered, I was disappointed in Mass Effect 2, largely because I hyped it up so much and because I absolutely loooooooooved the first one. Seriously, I know I've likely said this hundreds of times before, but I love it, my absolute favorite game.

At any rate, I don't expect the third installment to top the first one in my eyes, so I really can't be disappointed by it.

I take it the other dozen or so ME3 hate threads just weren't good enough for you?

 

[Scars Unseen]

@Mass Effect 3 Rage!!!!

-'Is there anything that changed in ME3 that you don't like?'-

I voted yes, and here is why.

I am am absolutely insulted that they put the number 3 in the title. Who the hell do they think they are to add such crap! Way to jump on the band wagon of other titles released with the same number. I was a fan of the other games because it didn't have the number three in the title. I was positive that the lore had no number three in it, they even went so far as to flat out tell you that the Mass Effect series was either numberless, or had a two in it... now they up and crowbar in a number three there?!?! Way to break cannon. Bioware sucks now. Fuck you EA.

Remember when the games were great, and they didn't have the number three in the title? Those were the golden days, now it's all three shit.

At least they didn't call it Mass 3ffect. That's a sure sign of quality.

ME3 Gripes:

-Origin Exclusive. I only buy PC games on Steam, and I don't accept the practice of publishers like EA forcing me to make an account with them just to play their single-player game.

I'm just going to rephrase what you said to make you see the flaw in your reasoning.

"Half Life 2 Gripes:

-Steam Exclusive. I only buy PC games on Impulse, and I don't accept the practice of publishers like Valve forcing me to make an account with them just to play their single-player game."

I don't really like Origin either, but let's try not to attack EA for faults that we give Valve a pass on.

 

[sabercrusader]

Look at the no's. Honestly I got so much slack for calling you guys fanboys, but am I wrong? You're telling me NOT ONE THING IN MASS EFFECT 3 HAS BEEN SOMETHING YOU DISAGREED WITH?

This. BY ITS VERY DEFINITION MAKES YOU A FANBOY ZEALOT FUNDY.

No. No it does not. It means that we agree with everything that Bioware has changed, and that, they have catered to the changes that we like. It does not make us a zealot fanboy or anything. Saying that Mass Effect had no flaws whatsoever would make us that. Please, you continue to go to every single Mass Effect 3 thread and express your discontent. We get it, you don't want it, fine, but we don't really care to hear it every goddamn time a Mass Effect 3 thread pops up. If you don't like the way the game is coming, then cut all ties to it, don't just sit there and whine that it isn't going your way.

 

[Zen Toombs]

Wait, what? EDI is getting a body now? I am not sure of how I feel about that... if it's just for fan service, then I am going to be very disappoint.

Spoiler: This will contain the relevant information:

 

[Flamezdudes]

If you're talking about the dialogue options in the demo, that is apparantely because of memory constraints on the demo that they had to take it out, among other things like lowering the texture quality in the demo.
