I am not playing the single player part of the demo. I want it to be all fresh in the real game.

I saw the demo. Besides some old gripes (the Ashley hairstyle, Shepard's 'we fight or we die', the dreadnaught on Earth), I liked it. Definitely a good polishing overall on the leaked demo. Even the appearances have definitely been touched up.

There did seem to be some clumsy movement, but how much was the game and how much was the player I can't tell. Movement was definitely fun-looking, though: combat rolls are always iffy, but rapid movement can make a battle so much more mobile.


Overall, it looks promising, and that ME3 will be what I've always believed it will be: a very attractive, well-polished game with an exciting, but imperfect, story.

Definitely looking forward to it.

The game feels clunky... there is no better way to describe it.

Sorry you feel that way. Felt quite smooth to me.

I thought it was quite smooth as well. Certainly for a 360 game.

It just takes getting used to. Trying to back off, especially when you face off against the Atlas was a little clunky but otherwise smooth for me too.

Yeah, I thought it felt very smooth. The only "clunky" moments I had were when I rolled instead of going into cover, which is frustrating. It only seemed to happen with small bits of cover though, and I just mostly avoided those.

Doing a charge then nova quickly feels awesome.

Just out of curiousity, what are the differences to the demo if you choose the "Numerous" selection under Psychological Profile, versus choosing either Kaidan or Ashley (which I already know affect who the VS is)?

I didn't notice any difference.

There doesn't seem to be any change in scenario within the context of the demo. Wrex, Mordin and Kirrahe are all alive in all three situations. Doubtless it pertains to the full game and the full game only, and the developers didn't want to yank it or anything else from the options so that people could get a full sense of scope from them.

The pre-release games in which you can win a chance to play the demo early are only for Xbox.

PC and PS3 players will be able to embark on a short journey in the shoes of Commander Shepard on the 14th -- AKA, its official date.

So, cover, sprint, roll, use are all binded to the same key on the controller?

I liked it, though the cover system felt a little overly sensitive for my tastes. Perhaps I need to just get used to it.

Hmm, interesting... one would've thought that choosing "Numerous" would've killed off Wrex and Kirrahe, at least (unless perhaps it does, but the replacement characters of Wreav and other STG officer weren't included in the demo). Does it affect the VS choice at all in the demo?


Also, anybody else notice the shorten Kirrahe introduction? (maybe thats the intro he gets if you didn't chat with him before the mission)

Yeah, that's sort of the issue. I'll press A to get out of cover and Shepard will roll across the floor. :lol:

Thanks Bioware for the option to turn the combat difficulty down, much apreciated! My sister isn't much of a gamer, so she could enjoy the game aswell.

I'm a PC guy, and I don't have a chance to play the demo yet - but I did watch someone else's playthrough. I love how ominous the beginning is, but at the same time, I think the Reapers attack way too early. BioWare should have kept the tension running for a little longer. 

And I hope Admiral Hackett survived the attack... Didn't sound good for him or the fleet.

Ooh, first class might be infiltrator, then. Cloak to an engineer's back...  the possibilities. :ph34r:


Not to mention sniping the Guardian through the eyeslot in the shield... probably one of the most satisfying things as an Infiltrator. :o


That really does sound very satisfying. I can already hear my husband cackling right now everytime he does it in game with his infiltrator...


I know I will already be playing my engineer and turning those damn turrets against their creators and using them to my advantage.

Making a FemShep right now. Character creator is a lot more fun this time around. Seems a lot easier to create someone you're happy with.

I'm kind of disappointed they took out the character bits which were in the original leaked Beta. I also prefer some lines that were in that version, too.

Another complaint I have is that every time I'm trying to make Shepard get to cover, Shepard rolls instead.

News agencies have reported lately that importing a character changes a good bit of the dialogue as the game goes on from more vague and approachable to specifically describing things that an importing player will remember well. Anderson spoke very specifically in the leaked beta regarding Shepard's past actions, whereas here, where it is obviously impossible to do any form of importing, his wording is looser, more open.

Under other circumstances I'd pipe this down as wishful thinking, but since it's been reported numerous times recently that BioWare went the extra mile for newcomers by tweaking backstory dialogue all over the place, I wouldn't worry much.

That's most likely due to the demo using a "default ME3" Shepard, while the dialogue bits in the leaked beta were taken from an imported Shepard's dialogues.

EDIT: :ph34r:'d :pinched:
