Personally, I'm looking forward to everything Mass Effect 3 has to offer, the melee combat, the multiplayer, the abilities and any other changes. For me, they are the developers that pulled out Mass Effect and Dragon Age (I loved all of them) and I have faith that what they're doing is for the right reasons.
However, I won't be picking up that C&C that they're making. I'm not that much of a fanboy!



Playing ME1 and ME2, I thought better melee combat would be a nice touch. 

Instead, in ME3, we get pathetic "omniblades".  Since when are holograms solid?


The omniblades are not holograms. They've gone over this.


So the holographic interface on the omnitool extends into an omniblade that looks just like it, but the blade isn't holographic? 

Right...

There's a codex entry floating about, the blade is not made of light. My only pet peeve is the mass effect field suspension part, but meh.

I'm gonna google it then post it here.

[quote]The codex says...

The fabrication module can rapidly assemble small three-dimensional objects from common, reusable industrial plastics, ceramics, and light alloys. This allows for field repairs and modifications to most standard items, as well as the reuse of salvaged equipment and applying medicine from stimulants to medi-gel.[quote]

The blade itself isn't holographic. It's illuminated for convenience.

That's pretty standard.  Lots of the tech relies on suspending stuff in ME fields.

Even suspending mass effect fields within mass effect fields.

Massception, if you will.

I know, but having that sort of capacity in the field, from a small omni-tool; it's a tad too much for me, nevertheless, it's no real biggie either way. =]

:D

Those threads allegedly got started because fans were coming on here left and right and telling BioWare how discouraged they were at how they literally turned Mass Effect into Gears Effect and that they were cancelling their preorders.

It was a massive amount in just this little forum, and it got to people and other fans, so they started mocking it.

Me: I'm not dropping $60 on this game until I hear verifiable proof from sources I consider viable that this game isn't linear gameplay wise, that there are rich rpg mechanics, that the quality is good, that Origin isn't required and how much the lame, stupid, tacked on multiplayer affects singleplayer.

I hear news I don't like, I won't buy. I'll just YouTube cutscenes or watch a LP.

Hopefully this will make you feel better OP,


All my friends outside of the internet are really excited for this game and can't wait to play it.

...Where as some people on the internet are a**holes and are going to hate this game no matter what.


So basically just stay away from the internet if its people's scary opinions that are what worry you.

ME3, my humble take

Reasons to be optimistic:
-I loved ME2. Loved the story depth and attention to detail, semi-branched plotline, and sound basic mechanics.Did at least one playthrough with all classes but Soldier. Engineer ftw. Eat my drones.

Reasons to pessimistic:
-I think Cerberus is the best organization in the ME universe, and it appears they will be annihilated in shame.
-I can't say I'm not disappointed with the romance situation. Is anybody really happy with it? Maybe that will be my next poll.
-Many of favorite characters (Legion, Grunt) appear to have minimal involvement
-While I haven't viewed the leaks (I REFUSE to), most of the feedback I've heard about them is negative. Almost monotonously negative. Makes me suspicious.
-I'm legitimately concerned they will go overboard with the undertones. Sorry, but they tend ****** me off more than anything. Push to hard, and you begin to alienate chunks of your fanbase..

Items that go both ways:
-Multiplayer. I'm still not sure what to think. It could add even more replayability to the game (which is always welcome), which ME2's was excellent. On the other side, if it's crap it could destroy the series, and if it's awesome it could usurp the emphasis from single player, which is what I played ME for. Also, I want to fight as Volus.
-Game-to-game continuity. If it's all about making sense of what happened in ME2 and ME, the game will play like a series of mortgage payments. It should have some space to be its own game. On the flip side, I hate retcons and contradictions. I hate them passionately.

Tokens of indifference:
-Reduced squad size. I only used a few key members of the ME2 squad regularly. It would really have minimal impact on gameplay.
-Little middle ground between Renegade or Paragon. I almost went Renegade all out. I did one Paragon playthrough and hated myself for it.
-Resemblence to other games, such as GoW. I like ME more that Gears. The only Gears I played was the first. It's not copying if you're better. :D

Other notes:
I am admittingly skeptical and negative by nature.

that there are rich rpg mechanics


Why are you expecting that in a ME game anyway ? It's not like ME1 was a good RPG, besides, ME3 will have more RPG options than even ME1, and there is proof of it.

The only downsides I see are a potentially shabby co-op and Vega.

I have not read the leaks and the leaks are rough but the way everyone posts about the leaks on the BSN is giving me second doubts about this game but I am willing to give it a chance. It is Mass Effect afterall. They are so close to release, how can they change the story anyway, that's if they even do? Anyway the Rachni situation has pissed me off.


Play it safe and see what others who have played the game have to say before buying.

Oh and the Rachni situation is just the tip of the iceberg.

I don't even get why you're still on these boards, I mean out of all the posts I have ever seen of your it's nothing but negativity and complaining about the rachni.

Honestly, I have high expectations for the game, and I believe that without a doubt this game is going to reach if not exceed them. I hear a lot of people complaining about origin, which I have no problems using because I have to use it to play other games, and I've heard a lot about multiplayer, which I myself am not a big fan of, but because I haven't played the game yet, I can base no opinions on it. For all I know, it could actually be a great addition. And if not, I can choose not to play it because single player is self-reliant.

Overall, I am super excited for Mass Effect 3 to be released. I've had my pre-order for the Collector's Edition in for months now. Recently switched it for Gamestop, but it has been pre-ordered nonetheless.

My big issue with ME3 is and has always been the squad mate issue. From what I can gather from what I have read about the leaked ME3 script I will not be happy with ME3's squad at all, heck I despise half the people on the squad to begin with and I am apathetic to the most of the rest of them ( except for Garrus and I acknowledge that it is unfair to judge Vega when I know very little about him ), as for ME3's secret dlc characters, I never asked for these characters and I am very upset that Bioware are going to ignore almost all of ME2's cast and stick us with these gimmicky characters ).

I have every right to be bitter and very pessimistic about ME3 until Bioware proves that I am wrong about the squad mates in ME3 and sadly it does not look like that will happen anytime soon.
