I'm still excited for the game after seeing the intro for ME3. Probably one of the best intros I have seen. I'll be even more excited if they can keep that kind of epic action going for the entire game!

[eoinnx02]

I'm extremely excited, which is horrible because its still a 4 month wait. In Feb it will be excruciating to wait another month. I wish I could forget about the game till then. Bioware are doing a good job with the weekly bioware pulse thing though, makes the wait seem not that long. But still EUGH!

skyrim is consuming me completely at the moment.

Arkham City for PC postponed again (that and Saints Row 3 being the only games released between now and ME3 I'm interested in), and I played the ME3 demo as an engineer today.

So yeah, positively giddy about ME 3, and dangerously close to being down to only SR 3 to kill the wait with.

[Element Engine]

I've been hyped for this since I finished Mass Effect 2.

I wasted my cash on DAII and I had high hopes for that game. I'm really concerned what they'll do to ME3. If it's garbage as well, it's bye bye Bioware for me.

Yes, because it's another game by BioWare.
No, because it no longer feels like an adventure of exploration. I'm not excited about returning to many of the same places and am really bummed about going to Earth. The sense of awe and wonder and going on a journey of discovery seems to have been replaced with a focus on war and battles like other action titles from other developers.

Were you disappointed in ME2?

A little. ME1 is still the better game.

Still excited.

What did you expect?  It was always heading for war. Also, what was the main plot of ME1 almost entirely concerned with?  War and battles.  Shep ain't in the military just because.

I haven't spent more than two hundred hours on ME/2 to not at least be some what excited for ME3.

[Justicar]

Great, ME1 bummers ITT.
You all act like ME1 was god, but you still don't realise that it was just as "linear" and "written worse" as ME2, if you were to believe ME1 was like that. Tell me why ME1 is better than MW2.

I'm very excited for ME3, maybe even more so than ME2.

[Ranadiel Marius]

Not really. MP killed my excitement, and recent developments have transformed it into dread. I'm not going to cancel my preorder though unless SWToR is horrible, which I don't think it is going to be.

Yep.

I still need to import Xenoblade at some point though. I hear great things. A simpler approach to the storyline, but still very much a Takahashi production. Unlike Xenosaga, which, you know, really kinda wasn't.

Xenoblade is awesome....well okay the ending comes completely out of left field, but the game is otherwise pure awesome.

What I expect is not the same as what I prefer.

To you, ME1 was almost entirely concerned with war and battles, maybe. For me, it was much more. I actually played ME2 first, then went back and played ME1, not really caring for the combat after being spoiled by ME2 but playing for the story and characters and loved it on those grounds alone (combat felt kind of broken and something to suffer through). ME2 was more focused on character stories with each one playing like an individual sci-fi episode and the epic built up was still about going beyond an unmapped relay to a crazy location fighting the mysterious collectors and discovering their mad project! If BioWare can top that with some more amazing stuff involving the super ancient Reapers, like how they came to be, where they go, or even stuff about their creators, or new stuff about other ancient races from other cycles, then I'm totally game. However, I'm expecting that the best creative story telling of the series has already been revealed (kind of like what happened with the Matrix Trilogy).

That aside, ME2 still had my favorite combat mechanic of any game I've played and am not asking for a game dealing with peaceful times. I just can't get that excited about combat alone, else I'd be playing COD3 or MW3. BioWare has spoiled me, and now I want more.

A part of me wishes they'd just make ME into like an ongoing series of episodes instead of going for major "movie" releases. My favorite sci-fi is usually more like Star Trek or Stargate the tv series, not the major motion pictures. My favarite part of ME2 was actually the Shadow Broker DLC!

ME2 was and is my favorite game of all time. Though I did play it before ME1.

Only 2 things limiting my excitement
1) It's still months away

2) I want an Ultimate/GOTY edition of Mass Effect 2 so I can meet Kasumi and Zaeed and play through Shadowbroker and Arrival BEFORE importing for my FIRST playthrough of ME3 (I don't have a suitable home internet connection so my X360 has never been connected to the internet so I can't get DLC)

I didn't say it wasn't more.  I said the main plot was almost entirely concerned with war and battles.  That's just a plain fact:

Eden Prime and Feros are both war zones.   Noveria is a fun-filled romp through a bioweapons lab, and as a bonus, you get to fight the creatures that damn near successfully prosecuted the most destructive war known to current galactic civilization. Virmire is a daring assault on an enemy stronghold, complete with a rousing call-to-arms speech that, with just a few minor changes, could have come straight out of any of your better war films. Not to mention the shadow of the Krogan Rebellions that is hanging all over that place.  On Ilos, you hear the tale of a war that was lost before the defenders even knew they were in it, and the genocide that resulted (which is of course where we finally realize exactly what sort of storm is coming our way in ME3).  And then it's off to fight the Battle of the Citadel, and by game's end, two of the now four sitting Council species have won a seat as the direct result of war.

But it doesn't actually stop there. Much the backstory of the ME-verse that is presented to us in the first game is absolutely drenched in war and battles: 

Humanity's debut on the galactic stage was a war.

Humanity gets its first Spectre because a new galactic war threatens to erupt (and in fact has already been declared, though no one realizes it at that time).

Both Ash and Wrex's lives were defined by the wars of their respective species preceding generations, Tali's by the disastrous war her ancestors lost 300 years ago, Garrus' by a society in which the concept of "civilian" is almost meaningless.

BDtS isn't just about a terrorist, but one acting to avenge the perceived wrongs of the conflict in the Verge.

The rather lightweight Pinnacle Station is no exception: a facility entirely devoted to realistic combat simulation.  I.e., training people for war and battles.

Even most of Shep's backgrounds are very much rooted in war:  the Colonist suffers as a result of the same proxy war with the batarians that will eventually provide the opportunities to become either a War Hero or one of the Ruthless.  The Spacer grows up with parents who are on active duty during the escalation of that conflict. Only the Earthborn/Sole Survivor combo (curiously enough, the default) isn't directly affected by it.

And this doesn't even get into the sidequests that are initimately related to humanity's wars past and present: Rogue VI, Espionage Probe, Geth Incursions, Old, Unhappy Far Off Things, I Remember Me, Our Own Worst Enemy, Homecoming, etc.

Or how much of the Codex is devoted to matters military.

Oh, and you know, the PC is a soldier, in command of a military vessel with an almost entirely military crew.

In any case, the point is that, regardless of the fact that ME1 was "so much more" to you, castigating the devs because ME3 is just about "war and battles", but giving them a pass on ME1 is kinda hypocritical (even if unintentionally so).

haha this. It's just pointless to purchase Bethesda games until Ultimate/GOTY editions are out.

Yeah, just as I fully expect the shuttle to melt right through the Normandy. Seriously people.

And every time there's radio interference, we'll hear a synthesized male voice say "Static" instead of actual static.  Also, no Alliance ships will have textures when in space.

lol and "there be whales here!" LOL I am such a nerd.:innocent:

[s17tabris]

yep, still excited. ME3 is the only game in my "to buy" list right now.

Your loss, there's a few textures bugs but whenever those pop up it can be solved by exciting to the menu and loading again.
