I was really hyped with the CE trailer, and then I found out the remaining squadmates from the script, and my hyped dropped so damn fast.

Edit; And now I find out about Beattie. Lovely.

What happened to Beattie?

No. I'm looking forward to finishing the trilogy but I'm no longer excited about it as it doesn't seem to be the game I hoped for. I'll still buy it and enjoy it just not excited about it anymore.

He isn't voicing Mordin anymore. He said he wants to, but I dunno. He could be just asking for more money for such a minor role, or something.

And it is a minor role.

My expectations for ME3 are pretty low. Or at least I'm expecting they'll do allot to bring in a new group of gamers. So I'm expecting there won't be a whole lot of tie in with ME1 and 2. And it seems they're still doing their best to get that COD audience, because it worked so well with DA2. I'm sure the game will score well, and sell allot, I'm just not sure I'll like it.

I was excited for Mass Effect 3 when it was first announced...

Then there were months of rumours of multiplayer...

Then I heard about Origin...

Then the multiplayer rumours were confirmed...

Then reviewers said that it was not very good and felt tacked on...

Then the story is leaked and people say it's like a "bad fanfction"...

Then Skyrim comes out and I play a game with the sense of adventure, story and character that is slowly being leached out of the Mass Effect series in favour of slightly less rubbish combat and toggles that remove dialogue.


Forget losing excitement, I've nearly lost the will to even purchase the game at all. If I didn't love the story, races and characters of the last two games so much, I'd have cancelled my preorder ages ago.

I guess I'll be more excited for the game nearer to release, but honestly, Mass Effect 2 burned me. The dudebro shift in the art direction, story focus, the linear structure, and removal of features that I appreciated and wanted to be improved upon really left a bad taste in my mouth. Not to mention that Bioware's new marketing style hasn't really swayed me like ME1's and, to a lesser extent, ME2's did.

So, no, I'm not really that excited. Looking forward to finishing the story, but not hyped about ME3 at all right now.

That's pretty much my own feelings also, in a lot of way's bioware seem to have moved from what attracted me to their games in the first place, to do so during the span of a game which is supposed to be a trilogy just boggles my mind since the difference between the first and second games as you point out was severe and by all accounts to the third will be even moreso.

I understand games evolve but sometimes in that evolution they lose focus on what attracted people to the game in the first place, to me this seems to be happening not just in their gameplay but storytelling and in their marketing approach, in trying to appeal to new gamers they've in some aspects forgot about thier core gamers, almost expecting that those people would just blindly follow in this new direction.

I did that with ME2 and while i liked certain aspects, certain things dissappointed me greatly, now i see in me3 potentially even more of those aspects being things i don't agree with or like, so it forces me to rethink my position.

It's incredible though because from the moment i first played me1 i expected that at this point in the buildup to me3's release i'd be chomping at the bit waiting to see how the story ends, whether you agree with all the changes made or in the direction Bioware seem to be heading, it says something when even one core fan isn't hyped about the release of the third act in a trilogy, the problem i see is that i don't seem to be the only one.

I hope you guys know that all those features were simplified for console users, so they could handle it with their pads. No offense to anyone, but I think it's true.

I think your misunderstanding me, its nothing to do with specific features being taiilored to console users, Kotor, Jade Empire and Me1 were all console games, its more the direction of certain aspects of the games themselves.

Storyline structure, relevance of choice, plot development, squad intergration etc. all these things have been dumbed down or stripped to basics compared to how they were handled in other games, when you replay Kotor and see the squad banter system and compare it to me2's a game released many years later when technology should have allowed for something like this to be improved upon, it makes you ask the question, in going forwards just how backwards have they gone also.

[Swampthing500]

Any game where the original developers are willing to remove features to cater to those with a short attention span is obviously going to be of the highest quality, so my enthusiasm will be undiminished with the approaching release of Call of Duty 7: Mass Effect Warfare.

Mass Effect 3. A mix of excitement and trepidation for me.

I've read the leaked material. Some of it is strong stuff. If things come across right, I don't think it's hyperbole to say that ME3 could be a milestone in interactive storytelling in terms of emotional impact and sheer epicness.

To balance that out, the suspicion that the big decisions from past games amount to nothing and that the morality system is a sham, meaning that every single situation will be contrived - sometimes to a facepalm-worthy extent - to have the intuitively moral decision always result in the best outcome. This kind of feel-good morality (yes, the disparaging connotation is fully intended) is insulting. Add to that concerns about the way my favorite character will be treated.

Some excitement. Some trepidation. I guess that's always the lot of a fan. We'll see how things go.

pretty much feel the same. i was really hoping they will not ad a MP to it but they did. so this means most of the time that they focus more on the MP then the SP.
plus origin is a very big turn off. i was really looking forward to it, but now, i rather get my self max payne 3 which comes out in march as well.

[MassStorm]

Hmmmm yes but i must admit my interest is starting to weaken since there is still a lot of time till the release.... need some info or new videos.....

[kainee]

Am I still excited ?
Not anymore.

I'm too disappointed because of the ME2 characters treatment.

[Dreadwing 67]

I can't wait

[looloolooigotsomeapples]

I'm still excited. Plot details are early drafts, and even if it sounds bad in a script it'll likely be tons better actually realized, because scripts are just like that. I like the way they're handling the reaching out to a bigger audience, with the 3 options for gameplay. I like the increased RPG choices. Even if the multiplayer is bad, it's being developed by a totally separate team. The most glaring disadvantage is Origin. I'm too invested in the story and awesomeness of these games to give it up because of that though.

[Someone With Mass]

Judging from the script, there'll be more character interaction than in ME1 and 2 combined, so yes. I am very excited.

It really isn't.

[The_11thDoctor]

If EA Origin isn't required, I will be, but until Bioware stops ignoring a 96 page thread with thousands of responses wanting to know if it will be origin free, no. No Im not. I want to play the rest of the story, but not at the price of having origin in my ME3.

[Reaper Edge]

I am. Stop whining.

I'm will be untill the game is released.

That said, the marketing so far has been pretty bad. Or at least very empty. If wasn't for the beta leaks (just the videos, not the script) we would be knowing very little of the game.
.
Take Max Payne 3 for exemple, same month release (march 12), and R* have shown us two trailers. One was more or less the same as "The Fall of Earth" trailer the huge difference come from the second one (which is few days old). It was a kind of documentary that talked about the very core of what you expect to see in a Max Payne game, and this is what ME3 marketing is lacking.
.
Showing the combat is great, I like it, but that is just a very small aspect of why people like Mass Effect.
.
The characters, the story, customization, etc, all this things have been almost totally ignored by the marketing. I know I don't want to get spoiled, but I want to know about the game. And the failure of Mass Effect marketing so far is not being able to find the balance there.

It's a fairly small one.

Personally don't really see why you would get actors of his and Sheen's caliber on the series, only to give them roles of this size, but oh well.
