eh well, cancelling my ME3 CE and selling my BF3 limited edition account then. I only bought BF3 for the early access anyways.

No offence, but you sir, are an idiot.

and u sir mind of your own bussiness instead of insulting people u dont even know on a forum. he can do wtf he wants with his money.

Exactly, if he feel upset enough to cancel his preorder it's his choice.

If someone wants to go sell his body for drug money and die at the age of 28, that's his choice too.

Doesn't stop it from making him an idiot.

That's a pretty extreme strawman argument that you have there.

Why are you so offended somebody might not want to buy the game? Why do you feel the need to be derogatory to somebody else on the forums? He has his opinion, that doesn't give you a right to name-call.

It's not a strawman argument lol. But regardless, I don't mind if he doesn't buy the game. I don't want to buy Skyrim despite everyone telling me it's the next coming of Jesus.

But nobody can possibly convince me that 1) buying a $60 game you don't want solely to get into a free public access demo a little earlier isn't idiotic, or 2) cancelling a preorder of the same game you wanted to play the demo so badly for just because you aren't getting its demo as early as you expected isn't idiotic.

I hope to all that's holy that this person was joking with that post, because if people are seriously wasting their money like that, then lack the mental capacity to realize that losing that money for nothing is only compounding the stupid investment before that demo is even playable, then I've lost hope in modern humanity.

How long will the demo be available?

The multiplayer section of the demo will be deactivated March 5, 2012 The single player demo will continue to be
available past game launch (for a number of months – exact date for the demo to be taken offline is TBD).

The Mass Effect 2 demo is still up, lol.

The strawman in that case is the "someone who sells his body for drug money and dies at age 28."

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious, because attacking a distorted version of a position fails to constitute an attack on the actual position.

When that image first came up I suggested it might be the Prothean character in his statis field.

I probably won't bother with the demo and just wait the extra 3 weeks until I've got the full game at my disposal. I don't need to be teased any further, or convinced to buy the game. I already did that months ago.

I will be playing the Reckoning demo, though.  Hopefully that'll be fun.

(As stated in the OP) "Technically" the demo can be considered spoilerific, but really the single player section of this demo is the same as the ones shown at E3, Comic Con etc., right?

The thing I find funniest about this is that the multiplayer doesn't open up until the 17th, unless you have BF3. That raises two questions for me.

Firstly, how many people would actually go out and buy BF3 so that they could get multiplayer demo access earlier? It doesn't look like an effective sales strategy. Secondly, you're adding multiplayer to the game. RPG fans like myself will download it for the single player on the 14th, finish the demo a few times, and then remove the demo from our hard drives days before the multiplayer is available. Basically, if multiplayer is actually intended to be a selling point, you're doing a crappy job of selling it.

The strawman in that case is the "someone who sells his body for drug money and dies at age 28."

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious, because attacking a distorted version of a position fails to constitute an attack on the actual position.

But it's still not a strawman argument. It is a leap, I admit that, but it's a direct comparison between people being idiots-- one to a life-threatening stupidity and one to a stupidity involving money management. An actual strawman argument would be this:

"But he is an idiot. Why would you want to let people be idiots and lose all their money on demos?" What I gave was an extreme rhetorical comparison; strawman arguments simply twist the original argument in order to put the other person on the spot.

English lesson aside, the original poster is still an idiot for doubling the price of his game just to play a free-to-the-public demo early, then more of an idiot for cancelling his preorder in a kneejerk reaction to not getting the demo as early as he wanted. He is either a fool with a ton of money, or a fool who doesn't know how to properly spend what money he has in a mature way. I'm calling him an idiot in hopes that other people realize how stupid that is. I saw the exact same thing happen with Bulletstorm and the Gears 3 demo.

People never cease to be idiots.

I agree. btw the Reckoning demo is surprisingly good.

Honestly I think it is more to lure Battlefield 3 fans into playing Mass Effect than Mass Effect fans being lured into playing Battlefield 3.

When you look at it that way it makes much more sense. The Mass Effect fans are going to download the demo regardless, usually even if they claim they aren't.

The Battlefield 3 fans might not but with an incentive they are more likely into trying it out. They also have the added bonus of playing for 3 days exclusively with fellow Battlefield 3 players.

Oh, God, I think I love you. I will die a happy woman if I never hear about Skyrim ever again.

Well, I may install Origin sooner than I expected.

[Virtuous Lumox]

I'm a little upset about the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning / Mass Effect 3 cross-promotion. KoA:R releases on 2/7 but the ME3 demo releases 1 week later on 2/14. I got my KoA:R bonuses for ME3 yesterday, but one ME3 bonus for KoA:R I can't earn until 1 week after release. What's the use?

According to the KoA:R site, "they are intended to be great beginning equipment". (http://reckoning.ama...ing-mass-effect).

The Omniblade Daggers might still be useful 1 week after release, but it is doubtful. While playing the KoA:R demo yesterday I upgraded/changed my armor/weapons several times in the 45-minute timed demo. I expect to be well past the level where the Omniblade Daggers will be useful after 7 days.

At least the N7 Armor for KoA:R is tied to the online pass included in new retail copies and not the ME3 demo.

January was all lies u .....

[shedevil3001]

omg, this is awesome but sadly if my internet gets cut off does that mean i wont beable to play me3 if i cant access origin ?

[NexusIsaac]

Finally... Thanks! Now I can breathe out and just wait.

[Misguided Terran]

SCORE... wait, my girlfriend doesn't have a really good connection with her xbox...

...uuuuhhh, Bioware, any chance there could be a physical form of the demo? Y'know, for the less fortunate?

[TUHD]

"Timing may vary by platform and geographic region." Pardon?
Although great Bioware at least releases an demo...

[J Muffin]

So Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer will be able to be played with friends. But will we be able to play the multiplayer demo with friends, sort of like a public multiplayer beta? Minus the actual beta part?

[Eralrik]

In the Kingdoms Demo I've unlocked the Armor and weapon for ME3 and surprisenly it was fun to play and on my 2cd play through with a diffrent race, so far I like stealth and Magic. An while kingdom's isn't Skyrim I may still go an buy the game but any promo unlocks in the ME3 demo will be a waste of time as I'll probably be several levels and several gear changes past the level 2 daggers. Oh Well it's BW descicion for the demo release but as it sounds nothing from the ME3 Demo continues over to final product even it sounds like the multiplayer part. At least until Chris can specificaly say otherwise then DL a 15 gig Demo is hardly worthwhile except to appease curiousity.
