Poll: Mass Effect 3 Rage!!!!

[RagTagBand]

That changed...from what? I'm going to assume you mean "From Mass effect 2" So my answer is a happy No.

Thats not to say there aren't things in ME3 I don't like, though. I don't like the intro (for example), It explains nothing and left me completely lost even though I only recently played through both ME1 and ME2. I think I would understand what was happening *more* if i'd never played any Mass effect game before.

 

[Casual Shinji]

The only thing that really annoyed me in the demo was this forced sentimentality with the boy, and then that other kid in the latest trailer. I hope this isn't going to be a running theme throughout the actual game.

The combat is looking pretty sweet though.

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:

Oh God, is Bioware really putting the ultimate nerd fantasy in Mass Effect 3?

I'm having Weird Science flashbacks.

EDIT. And is that Mr. Prothean on the right?

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

I don't like the graphic change, everything is so much darker and shinier.

 

[vrbtny]

No not really, I think it's fine

Off Topic: is anyone keeping track of all of these threads?

Not particularly, but....

OT : I ain't getting Mass Effect 3 until/if it is released on Steam....'cos there ain't no way in monkeyland that I am installing Origin on my computer. I didn't install it for BF3 and I ain't installing it for ME3.

 

[CrazyBlaze]

The only thing I don't like about ME3 is the new hacking. Stand there and match your hand up to the door? That is so boring. Did people really find hacking to be all that hard in the past? Change the way it is down with a new mini game then. Did people really get so bored and tired of the hacking that they had to go away with it all together. Oh and the camera doesn't follow you when you run so it makes things awkward.

 

[guitarsniper]

I had to say yes, but only because I'm really not a fan of the new Ashley outfit. Everything else looks friggin awesome.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

I actually didn't pre-order the Collector's Edition of ME3. I did, however pre-order the standard edition so I'm glad Bioware (or EA whatever) is releasing From Ashes day 1.

[God's Clown]

I would say yes, but I always take games as individuals instead of series. By itself, Mass Effect 3 is just fine. Is it better then ME2 or 1? Can't say yet, haven't played it much beyond demo. Just like Dragon Age 2, by itself, it's a great game, is it better then Origins? Hell no.

I am also not going to ever judge a whole game based off a short demo. Demo's seem more of a "Showing off gameplay" type of deal, and most games are more then just game play.

 

[Richardplex]

Damn it, I was late to the Zeel party! All the other Batman's are having bonding exercises and reminiscing about EternalNothingness while I'm left in the dust. I need to camp the forums, with the coffee and the jar 24/7 like Zeel for when a new ME3 comes up.

On topic: Any issues I have are nitpicks and possibly not a problem. The jump in difficulty, particularly as a vanguard, is because the demo was done badly. By giving you 4 weapons, they really increased the cooldown of the powers. I'm guessing 2-3 weapons will be used at any one time at live. I'm not certain that the opening is a 1:1 copy from the game; I remember reading that the character creation was cleverly implemented. And the textures were from demo size limits.

My main concern was the music really, since the composer changed. Then I heard this And my fears were laid to rest. So I'm cool with ME3 from what I know of it.

 

[airrazor7]

Of all things, I don't like the spike in difficulty. I play games for story and experience, not to get my ass kicked.

Easily one of the more minor issues.

Have you played the demo yet? They have something called Story Mode made just for someone like you. The combat is a cake-walk and the game focuses more on the plot and the characters.

There are actually three ways to play the game:

Action Mode: combat is intense and enjoyable for those that want that and all conversation scenes are merely cut-scenes with no dialogue options.

RPG Mode: the regular Mass Effect experience

Story Mode: all about the conversations, plot and dialogue options. Combat is easy. Probably what you would be interested in.

With all these spoilers flying around, I can't say Bioware is able to get me any more mad than your guys' rage threads. But I guess it's all good. There is but one thing in Mass Effect 3 that truly angered me (albeit to a small degree). It's not even a change; it's a lack of one.

They kept their Thermal Clip system. I really miss my Snowblind HWMP that was incapable of overheating. Is it too much to ask for effectively unlimited ammo again? You can keep the Power Cell system for heavy weapons, that's understandable. You can even contrive some half-baked explanation for its use in your new multiplayer, but come on. You couldn't switch it back for the campaign? Just for the basic four groups? I miss doing frivolous things like purposefully overheating my weapons on the Citadel without a care in the world.

 

[Darkmantle]

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.

I feel like they should have just said "Fuck the single player demo" with all the ill will it generated from the easily angered. better to have just released multi and nothing else

 

[Sewa_Yunga]

Hold on a second!

I didn't play the demo yet and I don't plan on doing so.
But I do remember that woman in blue Armor from one of the trailers... Don't tell me this is supposed to be Ash?

yes haha lol. You should play the demo, it will save you 60 bucks

Don't get me wrong, I DO plan on buying ME3, just not as soon as possible.
I don't play the demo because personally I don't need it.
I liked its predecessors and I didn't get the impression that the demo showed how ME3 was going to suck, so it's a done deal.
Or it will be at some point, since I don't want to pay full price for a game that has Origin as a prerequsite.

 

[JamesStone]

No not really, I think it's fine

Off Topic: is anyone keeping track of all of these threads?

9 threads since Wednesday I think, maybe 11. I think right now people are making them to see if they can atract Zeel to mock the poor smudboy wannabe for a while.

OT: No, in general I'm fine with it. It was mentioned to me that Tech Armor was suffering a change, but I didn't check that out yet.

 

[JamesStone]

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.

YAY! The bait worked. May the Caps Lock terror resume!

Also, if you still want an awnser to your questions, please re-post them for me to awnser.

 

[JamesStone]

I've made up a new forum game. Without using any "find posts by user X" functions such as checking his profile - try to find threads you're 100% certain Zeel has raged and/or insulted someone in.

If you pick one and he HASN'T been in there, the counter starts over. I'm going strong at four atm!

I'd play if I wasn't in the middle of playing The Old Republic.

OH NOES HE'S GONNA CALL ME A FANBOY BECAUSE I ENJOY A GAME MADE BY BIOWARE

SOMEBODY SAVE ME

Goddamnit, I picked the "Mass Effect fans rip book to shreds" news story and he hadn't been in there to call anyone a rampaging fanboy.

Oh well, four in a row wasn't bad.

And yeah, careful. You're not allowed to enjoy things Our Great Leader Comrade Chairman Zeel does not enjoy. It's called free will and it's overrated.

The "Why I won´t buy Mass Effect 3". Even if the original poster is being rational, Zeel will appear and critisize it.

Oh, no!! I stated a fact! One that he doesn't like! Please help me, his endless rage will purge me from the Earth.

 

[SajuukKhar]

There were several things I disagreed with at first but looking back i find that they aren't that bad.

-Ive seen plenty complain that Ashley looks "completely different" because she took her hair down. while I think it was a silly move of them to do it does not make her this total bimbo everyone tries to say it does.

-People complain Vega is "Jersey shore" and Bioware has already explained why he is in the game, to appeal to the CoD fans, and its not like you are forced to use him.

-Bioware HAS brought back many of the RPG elements such as grenades, weapon mods, and larger skill bars.

Is Mass Effect 3 gonna be Mass Effect 1? no, but does that make it "dumed down" then the previous one? not really imo.

 

[OManoghue]

The only thing I don't really like is the new companions. I really liked the dirty dozen + DLC of ME2. And the five or six you get saddled with in ME3 don't seem that great, except Garrus of course.

 

[Canadish]

Sexed up Character Redesigns.

Shitty One Liners.

Mediocre Script.

Replacing awesome squadmates with utterly bizarre ones (Hurrr Who liked Wrex anyway!? Lets make EDI a Sexy Gun Bot!!)

Wasting budget on Multiplayer and marketing stunts.

Humanz are speshul guiz!

"No user created content allowed because we have to sell DLC!"

Jersey Shore look alikes (Blast Hardcheese and Snookie).

That Chobot woman is actually IN THE GAME.

Day 1 plot related DLC characters.

Origin Only.

Final Destination.

BIIIOOOOWAAARREEEE!!!!
