Bloody hell... does this mean I'm going to have a funny-lookin' suit of armor in ME3 when I get around to playing that one, whether I want it there or not?


Don't like it ? don't use it, problem solved :?

why do you care about free things again?

Because "free things" implemented poorly negatively affect my experience with the game, that's why.  I started Origins for the first time with something like 20 "free items" that I didn't particularly want.  Thankfully, Origins at least gave me the chance to get rid of them.

Hopefully ME3 will do the same.

One game is now "every OTHER game on the planet"?


Didy, just let it go. When people exaggerate out of emotion, its usually not worth arguing the other side and possibly causing a derailment.

So instead,

POSITIVITY TIME!

The Faeblades in the demo were unique, but I thought it was funny that after looting them, I found another pair of Faeblades(normal ones, this time).

Wish I could acquire them earlier in the demo. I had 18ish minutes left by the time I got them, and no chakrams were found in that time, so I reached 1/2 of my goal in my 4th demo playthrough.

I don't want to play the demo too many times. Would ruin the moment in the final release.

There is always someone that has to look a gift horse in the mouth.  Free stuff for trying something else out. What a terrible thing for EA to do.Image IPB


Am I the only one that likes a lot of in-game items in my preorder deals and Collector's Editions? I want extra stuff to use in my game, so I love free stuff.

If your sensibilities are that easily offended, then why do you collect anything other than your starting gear.

I get hyperbole.  I just don't like ridiculously hyperbolic hyperbole, though the BSN in general seems to just love it.

I got them both on the first  playthrough.... Chakrams purchased in the inn, Faeblades looted from the Fae quest

God, really?  Having optional stuff really bothers you? Or are just trying to be contrary? Why is there always someone who has to ****** in the pool?Image IPB

OFFERS of free stuff are more than welcome.  The heavy-handed and artless shoving of free stuff down my throat, not so much.  To date, what I've seen are the latter rather than the former.

I don't expect anyone on these boards to agree,  and that's fine. :)  If you like the way it's handled, great: I wish you all the enjoyment in the world, I really do.  

I just find it tacky.

Chakrams were about how much?

I'm trying to decide if(in a FIFTH playthrough) I should go through the Fae Quest, get the Faeblades, sell a bunch of crap I colleced along the way, and then purchase the Chakrams.

I will say that I probally won't use these items in my playthroughs. But I don't outright hate them or find them tacky. As far as I know none of these items are being shoved down our throats, they're optional. If you want them go get them. If you don't want them don't get them. What are you complaining about?

I don`t get it, played the sodding demo like 10 times now until the 45 minutes were drained and got the message for the chakram launcher unlock thingie everytime,(watched video too afterwards) but lo and behold it is nowhere to be found in my registered game content. >.<

armor unlocked just fine but the launcher eludes me.

i hope that gets fixed or we see an official response cause im pretty pissed right now

Mine were a generic version that cost ~500 gold from the Bartender lady in the inn

Heheheh... I think it pretty obvious that you're not the only one that likes it. :D

There are always going to be other opinions floating around out there, though.  In this instance, mine happens to run contrary to yours, that's all.  I was curious about KoA, though, and the VERY first thing the demo did to me after I logged into it was pile on three such "bonus items", two for KoA itself and one for ME3 of all things.  The KoA items... sure, I can see how they'd want to entice gamers to buy KoA after playing the demo for it.  But ME3?  Way too random.

Jeez, that's not even difficult.

Alright, next time I'm feeling up for it I'll head to the Inn and go get some Chakrams.

Of course. Differing opinions make the World go round.

By the way, you know that for completing the ME3 demo you're getting items for KoA as well, right?

Downloading the demo isn't enough, you have to actually play the darned thing. Hah.

But go to Profile on the left of this page, and then Your Registered Game Content.

Items should be listed there.

If they're really optional and don't send me scrounging around for a deep dark hole in which to drop them, then I'm complaining about nothing at all.

Am by no means certain that will be the case, though.  That's mostly just due to the way things have been handled in past games, though, as I've mentioned already.

I didn't know that, but thanks for the warning (and there's not a hint of sarcasm in that statement, either. Seriously: thanks for the heads-up)

I'm already 99% sure that I'm going to be getting ME3, though, so that demo's not really much of a draw for me.  KoA was more questionable a game, though, hence my trying out the demo.

Here's all that's required for them being optional:

Does the game force you to use them?  No? Then they're @#$%ing optional.

I'll be getting both games, but for the items, I'll damn sure be playing the demos.

I didn't even want to play the ME3 demo until I heard about the items. Then I was like, "aaaaalright".

Heh.

Then we have differing opinions on what it means to be "optional", don't we? You base it on usage, I base it on how obtrusive its presence is.

*shrugs* That's ok, too.

So if I played the 360 version of the demo, does that mean I won't get the armor in the PC version of Mass Effect 3? I always play Mass Effect on the PC (since that's where I started all those years ago). I hope they allow the PC users to get it as well. I don't want to have to download the demo on the PC just to get the armor.
