I'm new to these forums, but I have been a Mass Effect fan for a long time and have very large concerns for this game. It looks rather like a pure third-person shooter with very limited exploration, narrow and linear environments and simplistic 'press X, go to Y' gameplay. I have stayed clear of spoilers to this point, but I must say I'm very disappointed about what I see and is known sofar, so much so I have held off preordering (once seemingly an impossible notion to me) and will wait a bit before purchase. Multiplayer also has me frustrated.

Am I alone in this? I'm new here, but alot on here seem content with this game, and it doesn't really look that good, to be frank.

It looks just like two previous Mass Effect titles, but more spectacular and dynamic.

Considering TES and Mass Effect are like apples and oranges it is not the most reasonable comparison. ME might be more "linear" but that works for ME since it is more about storytelling and character development. TES is more about exploration and doing whatever you want but the storytelling isn't as strong. Even though both games are RPGs they still feel like the belong in different genres from each other.

The same as it was in the post-Oblivion era and the post-Morrowind era.

Bioware and Bethesda take very different approaches to their RPG's. Each apporach has its strengths and weaknesses. Neither is less valid than the other.

So it's a pre-order cancelled thread again?

More like "pre-order never acquired" thread.

You're not the only one, for a large segment of the fanbase, Mass Effect 3 seems to be terrifying rather than exciting them. There are rumors of having less control over what Shepard says, hints that the refreshingly realistically portrayed woman Ashley is being turneds into a sexualized Miranda clone in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator, it looks like the (relatively) hard sci-fi of ME1 has been abandoned in favor of "science" fantasy Star Wars style drivel, ****ing Origin, multiplayer not only sucking up recourses that should have gone to single player but actually influencing single player (so in a way it's not like a feature you can just ignore, the mp existing actively punishes players who generally don't like mp), and I've avoided leak spoilers like the plague but apparently they add in a whole new level of fear. It's not just one or two things, it seems like with nearly every bit of info we hear the devs are taking ME down a road the fans DON'T want to see it go down.

I hope the game proves a lot of people wrong, I guess we'll know in a couple of months.

They are completely different games. For which I'm thankful as TES games bore me to death.

I wasn't playing anything Bioware when ME1 or 2 came out, I got both used, so out of curiosity what in the ad campaigns of ME1 and 2 was so different that people or so terrified for ME 3? And I'd only include "confirmed features" in that question in so far as they compare among the campaigns (i.e. exploration or gameplay as portrayed each time a game was about to come out).

In what light....
I would say daylight, then slowly progressing to monitor/TV light for awhile then returning to daylight.

Is that the light you meant?

Uh...Post Morrowind? I don't think Mass Effect existed in 2002-2003.

Fancy!

I very much doubt that comparing a story-driven and mostly linear shooter with significant emphasis on character development and team-based tactical combat against a massive sandbox will net you any solid results.
You're free to make the comparison, certainly, but don't expect it to get you anywhere.

I'm not a fan of the (IMO) bland, sandbox, story-less style of RPG that the TES games are and I'm sure I'm not alone.

ME series and Bioware's RPGs in general are a completely different style and much more fun for me.

It's like comparing GTA to half life.

I made no such attempts at a comparison. Did you even read anything I wrote?

'Course.
Asking in what light ME 3 will be viewed in the post-Skyrim era is akin to comparing them. Post-Skyrim means after Skyrim, though I suspect you knew that. The implication is that Skyrim has totally changed at least one aspect of the gaming industry, and anything after has to be judged against that standard.
Hence the comparison!
