The only thing that worried me was the idea that squadmates weren't permanent. However I don't see how that could happen or why that would be a good idea. It would be very dumb IMO to pull such a move, most people wouldn't like it.

However, that doesn't mean that it can't happen after all I thought that in ME2 they wouldn't remove the extensive squadmate customization and yet they did, plus they rarely ever answered questions related to that topic back then. I hope that isn't the case with squadmates though because I haven't really heard a lot about squadmates lately.

Something like this though not exactly. Peoples expectations have grown to stupidly high levels lately, How long untill people demand nothing but perfection?

I am surprised some entrepreneuring bad guy hasn't just started dropping booby trapped heat sinks all over the batlefield as he retreats.

*POOF* gun blows up from the side.

Perfection is relative anyway. The ME series didn't evolve into what I thought it would (and ME3 is almost the opposite of what I thought it would be) but I still greatly enjoy the series.

My expectations and excitement is pretty low. The negativity on this forum is bringing me down and my own pessimism isn't helping either. But I will reserve my judgement when it comes out. I'm only buying Mass Effect 3 because it's, well you know Mass Effect. I should of learn't my lesson from Dragon Age 2. It was poor but I enjoyed it.

Lol, this forum has that effect on me too.
I've definitely had my expectation and excitement tempered at this point, but I'm still going to buy the game because I have to finish the series out. I want to see how it ends.

There are better ways to ambush someone than dropping heat sinks all over a live battlefield when there is no certainty that they would be picked up. The mechanic has been there for ages, not just in ME, but in most FPS games. The only difference here is that there is no caliber, in others there is. It's certainly not the worst game mechanic I've ever encountered.

Demand perfection? Or something that isn't a third person, Michael Bay shooter?

It's more about how the targeting computer shapes the bullet (which isn't larger than a sand grain) and at what speeds it fires it.

Also, the geth aren't overheating the gun. They're making the guns' internal computers believe that they're overheating, even if there's nothing wrong with them.

You misunderstand, I'm not saying it's like that right now, but give it a console generatIon or two...

They're basically trolling the sh!t out of their enemies weapons.

Semantics, but you are correct.  What I should have written was that the gun is kicked into overheat cooldown due to a tech attack.

As for the targeting computer and shaping the round, that's irrelevant to my argument about our current LMG weapons, if the bullets were all the same size and shape, or if the shape didn't matter, we could interchange barrels with some standardization, and it would still not be looking for ammo on the field

If people want some appalling marketing they should go check out the trailers Bioware put out for Dragon Age Origins.

Read the script; it's fine. Nothing worse than Benezia's dying speech or the Lazarus project (although it came close; there were a few twists where I wanted to find the writer responsible and slap him/her). There were also parts that legitimately made me laugh, parts that made me almost cry, parts that I didn't see coming, and parts that I could never have predicted, but make so much sense in retrospect that I can't believe I never figured it out.

It will be at least as good as the previous two titles. However, don't expect it to be the same as two previous titles.

Also, the gameplay mechanics are easy to clarify for yourself without plunging too deeply into spoilers. Basically, the shooting's better, and the skill/weapon customization is deeper.

Let me reiterate: IT WILL BE AT LEAST AS GOOD AS THE PREVIOUS TWO. The majority of people who are upset wanted something very specific to happen with the game that disagreed with what the ME3 team wanted (example: Cerberus are bad guys now and heat sinks are still in).

Cheez you make a lot of good post, this is one of them

Don't even mention the DAO trailers. If I had seen them before playing, I may not have even bought the game.

 This isn't a hate thread or spam or anything, but with all of the spoiler reading people basically saying ME3 is the opposite of what we thought it would be I can't help but find myself worried that some of it might be true. I mean, from what I've seen everyone is saying that Bioware has turned it into a TPS and made the focus on deep story take a passenger seat. So is anyone else a little on edge about the whole thing? I have yet to read any spoilers and will not be reading them, but I already prepurchased the CE and I just wanna know that what I'm getting is an ME game and not a shooter with a few negligible choices sprinkled in. I know we Bioware fans are a sensative bunch and that we tend to exagerate things, but still, some confirmation would be nice. 

Some people like to complain simply to stretch their vocal cords or in case of the interwebs their typing proficiency. Some people also like wear Sunglasses all the time and are simply looking for a reason to cry about how the Sun isn't shining anymore. I admit I wear shaded glasses myself, but I can generally tell the difference between night and day.

Eh from what leaked details I saw I really would not be concerned about ME3's storyline. There were a few questionable things I saw, but it's really hard to to conclusion on something just reading. Maybe reading the dialogue makes it sound bad, but in the game sequence itself it actually is appropriate. I've only seen chunks of what's going to be in ME3. Apparently some people have the entire skip. I dunno.


The only that scares me is some of the VAs may not be returning. We already know Beattie (Mordin) isn't. I'm highly suspcious now that several others may not be as well. Don't care what people say, but it just won't be as good if Martin Sheen, Lance Henriksen, etc. don't end up reprising their roles. Well I'm sure Henriksen (Hackett) already recorded dialogue when they brought him in for Arrival. (I'd hope they'd besmart enough to take care of two birds with one stone.) For me even if the rest of the game is amazing, if say Seth Green isn't voicing Joker, it'd be like a blow to the diaphragm where it just knocks all the wind out of ya.

[What a Succulent Ass]

Considering there are photos of Green and Helfer in the studio, I'm almost certain he'll be reprising his role.

People with realistic expectations but for whom the choices went another way will also be disappointed.

People who don't want a balanced shooter-RPG will be disappointed but something 'pure' will be disappointed.

People who want a flawless story with no horrendous cliches will be disappointed.



Most people, however, will enjoy it quite well.

The problem is you don't define several things.
1. What do you count as unrealistic.
2. What do you count as balanced shooter-RPG
3. What do you count as horrendous chleches.

There are several things I'm hoping they avoid.  
1.  The uslessness of maps in ME2.  Serously any time you need to go to a place the map is blanked out, and when the map isn't blanked out it's too crowded to see anything.
2.  The poor vehicle handling of ME.  I know there will be vihicles in ME3 (we've seen Shepard drive a geth one), but make it so that you can actually turn without running into a mountain.
3.  No deus ex machina.  Bioware has been very good about not including out of nowhere happy endings in their games.  I hope they continue this tradition and not make the reapers killed by some act of god or something.
4.  No crappy show nothing love scenes.  That is the one complaint I have about Bioware as of late.  The love scenes for ME2 and DA2 were very poorly done... and the only good part of the love scenes in DAO is that they were hillarious.  They reached perfection with ME.  I mean they showed just enough nudity, the lighting was perfect, the music complimented it well.  I'm not asking for a porno game, I'm asking for something that is beautifully shot and looks both sensual and loving.

Anyway those are the three things I'm worried about.  As long as the victory isn't too far fetched, the maps are easy to read, the machines control well, and the love scenes look like romanic movie love scenes, and everything shown in the trailer/beta leak remains, I'll be happy.

QFT. 

Miranda could be a epic squaddie with Liara-like plot armor and I'd still be disappointed with BioWare's simple black/white morality in ME3. Either you're a boyscout or your a "failure" looking for redemption.

Because it couldn't possibly be because she likes the script.
