Eternally optimistic that it will live up every inch to what I hope it will be. There's never really been a storytelling undertaking this ambitious in video gaming history, with three games interlinked so closely. I have high hopes for a truly epic conclusion to the saga.

1. MP

3. Railroaded into having Udina as Counselor

4. Absurdness of Cerberus now

Heavy pessimist.

But I don't care anymore.

1.  Dissagree, but that's because I wanted a Co-op since ME 1, I am a huge Army of Two fan.
2.  Possibly conflicts with choices or possibly builds war assets.  Only heard about it, thankfully.
3.  Only because Anderson stepped down.  Don't agree with the IP wasted on Novels and Comics, but I'd rather have Anderson on Earth.
4.  As an actual Pro-Cerberus player, I agree.  Don't need to debate that though.

Only picked you out because I recognize you. P:

Realistically optimistic. I'm certainly prepared for it to not live up to my expectations in some way, I'm not the writer no one is perfect etc. Even if it turns out not as great as I hoped I'm interested to see where these characters end up.



(...Is it weird that from the moment I saw the Illusive Man, I went "Yep, that guy's going to betray me and be a boss fight somewhere down the road.")

I enjoyed the combat in the demo and everything about it besides the cover...why cant I duck just a LITTLE bit further down to avoid fire...its stupid.

But I will say this. If this demo is just like the actual game in terms of story, pacing, and dialogue. This will hands down be the last Bioware game I will ever buy. There should be at least 10 minutes worth of SOMETHING between you seeing Shepard and the initial attack. Not about 2 minutes...its ridiculous and insanely anti tension anti everything I loved about the series before.

2. Not totally sure what you're saying. But your decision to destroy the CB doesn't matter. No consequence.

3. Once again, your choice doesn't matter, the player is being railroaded. Something unforgivable for a series touted for choice and consequence.

And as for MP, when I found out about it I went through about 24 hours of absolute depression, then lost all feeling for ME3. If it dies in a fire on march 5, I wouldn't care.

2)Just rumors I heard from BSN, once again doesn't matter, but its a decent idea to keep the concept out of your mind.  As a Cerberus player, I'm more saddened about turnabouts then the features you've listed.
3)As a player who plays several linear games and Sandboxes, I don't expect any game to perfectly give you choice and power in every idea.  This is why I don't idolize Shepards plot Armor, this is why I tolerate Canon decisions that you should not always have power over.  Bioware gives an inch, and Players want a meter...bad analogy.

As I've said in another topic, I have a different player immersion into games.  I was happy to see MP features, and so far I find them to be interesting.  It will be a decent way to keep playing the game after I bleed it dry, and I do enjoy helping people in Co-Op, despite how I negatively portray myself as disliking everyone on this forum.

Not sure.

Origin basically stops me from buying it. I'll borrow my nephews xbox copy months down the road though.

Ignoring origin though I am an optimist. I think they screwed some things up sticky/cluster grenade, too much overlap in biotic powers, weapon weight to power recharge balance blah blah. But overall the gameplay seems improved the enemies seem to have a better and more aggressive AI, a wider range of enemy threats, etc. The only question really is the story and how that works out.

You can afford to buy it on Origin, but refuse to do so...but have to wait months to play it on Xbox? Why not just buy it for that platform instead then?

Because I would still be financially supporting a company that is willing to force spyware onto its customers.  Any product that requires origin i will not buy.

[xentar]

A mild pessimist given that I didn't like most of the announced changes.

[xX N7 Xx]

I loved the demo so Im optimistic!

[GnusmasTHX]

I'm a realist. I really want it to be good.

[Arppis]

I think I'm optimist. I'm hyped for the game and I enjoyed both of the earlier games, so this oughta be good. Well ok, I am afraid of two things now.

One: I can't get the BEST possible ending by singleplayer alone.

Two: there will be some stupid time limit in the game, or best possible ending will be locked away if you don't do it in time.

Those two are my only fears. But yes, optimistic otherwise.

From what I recall, you don't need to play MP for the best ending, it's just another option or something?

As for time limit, I don't know.


For me, I'm optimistic, still.

[Feanor_II]

Moderately optimist.

I kow that the exploration component won't make a return, but I expect an improved ME2 combat system (with a few additions from ME1) and better item and character customization.

[ReveurIngenu]

Pessimistic.

ME1 was about a galaxy-wide threat.  ME2 and ME3 have reduced that storyline to just Earth being threatened.  I just don't see how they can make a story about rallying the galaxy, finding out how to stop the Reapers, and killing the reapers all in a game that's only going to be as long as ME2.  Part of the rallying and finding information about the Reapers should have been what ME2 was about, not some insignificant side story that was ME2.

I also feel like the romances will be disappointing and uneven.  It has been confirmed that there will be at least 4 female same sex options, while only one confirmed for male.  If this turns out to be the final numbers of possible same-sex relationships, I think the boards will go up in flames.

That always sounded like a bad idea to me. Weaking the Reapsers would just make the ME3 starting situation less dire. One of the things Star Wars did right was that the Empire was just as threatening at the end of ESB as it was at the beginning of the film.

[Exia001]

Neither, I shall judge the game as I play and after completion, but not before

[Da_Lion_Man]

Neither, my current impression is "Meh, whatever".
I'm sure it will be fun in its own way though.

Yeah, I know they have been saying that. But I have also heard that if you don't play MP, you will have hard time getting the best ending. Maybe the fights have less ships or something.

[No Snakes Alive]

Full-blown optimist. First Bioware creates a brand new IP that feels as fresh as you'd hope in a lot of ways and yet is set in a universe that already feels nearly as established as some of its decades-old peers. Then Bioware improves upon nearly every aspect of the original's gameplay in the sequel.

So yeah, I really couldn't fathom being disappointed by the finale of this trilogy.

[frylock23]

I've been getting more pessimistic about it. MP was the first nail. I don't have a ton of friends who play, and those who do play on xBox while I play PC. I'll have to hook up with strangers in order to play multiplayer, but I'm a mom with a small child in the background which limits my playtime considerably.

This recent thing with the possibility of stripped/simplified dialogue and way to much autodialogue also worries me rather than excites me. How do I play different Sheps with distinct personalities if I don't have options for them to at least respond differently even if the end comes out the same? It effectively reduces my four Sheps to just one or maybe and lowers the potential for replayability.

And then, I'm disappointed that the trial that fills in what has happened since Arrival has apparently been removed. I wanted my Col. Jessep moment. I know some folks might have found it dull, but I'd been looking forward to it. It didn't have to be long, but I think it would have been an appropriate story opening rather than a sudden attack with explosions everywhere.

So, I'm getting less excited and more worried. I'll play it because I'm a completionist. But, I'm definitely getting worried.

It's like a vitamin supplement.  You can do it all normally, or you can add to your GR by playing Multiplayer and Infiltrator (portable thingie) to help you.  Completely optional, and you can get the strongest GR in the game without outside support either.

[Darth Asriel]

A pessimist here.

MP was a sign things were headed the wring way. Add to that Vega, "streamlining", Michael Bay inspired marketing, less talking more splosions, mitigated choices.

Ive just reached a point of indifference. If it's good I'll love it, but all signs point elsewhere.

[livalidle]

I'm trying to be an optimist but failing. The fact that my Shepard won't have Jack by his side bothers me. Instead of Secret Squadmates 1 & 2 I would rather have Shepard's love interest. At least with Thane or Jacob I could see them not being a part of the squad permanently. Maybe Miranda. But Jack? A paragon relationship starts a change. I appreciate characters having their own stuff to do but I don't want a Liara in ME2 moment.
"Hey Shepard, we can kiss and I'll give you information, good luck." "I should go."
