With all the second market promotion this game is receiving, it's likely to sell well. If it were to fail, Biowares rep is going to burn, and not only that, the investment out of EA is likely to dry up as well.

There is small problem though, at least from my point of view. Well selling game is not always well playing one.
No, I do not spread premature critic on ME3, just remember something from past, distant and not so distant.

Of course, but well selling will mean decent to well played to a lot of other people.  Just not these people.

I look forward to this game, and don't think Bioware is catering to the shooter crowd. From ME1 on, they have wanted to make a decent action-rpg shooter, and have said they see ME3 as the game they've wanted ME1 to be.

That being said, while I don't think story and gameplay will have anything wrong with it, I am concerned a little bit about how certain characters will be handled, but that is a minor issue. Two of the writers who handled my favorite characters have left the ME writing team before ME3 was in development, but that doesn't mean necessarily that those characters will be ooc. But that is in the back of my mind somewhat.

Also, I wonder if the game will be a bit more linear than the first two, as far as the order of the missions, but that's not really a big issue either.

I don't read this forum much anymore and I'm going to stop completely as soon as ME3 comes out. The endless freakin' negativity here seriously ruins things for me. Yeah, there are reasons to be worried, but I'll try to enjoy the game and not nitpick it to death.

Cannot say for sure, simply don't have numbers at hands, but many "mediocre" at best games, including those done "by licence" (based on movie or book) were sold in large quantities. They brought profits to rightsonwers, but from gamer's point of view those games were far from perfect. Under "gamer" I understand someone with relatively solid experience under his belt, not some "casual" or "occasional" gamer, whose experience limited to solitaire and other "office" games.
So yes, generally I'm not that fan of "widespread popularity", because I think that "value" as whole is limited and you can either "please" fewer amount of gamers to greater extent, or please greater amount of gamers to fewer extent.

Comes with the territory - when you climbs high, expectations are high too. I know, you cannot please everyone, but amount of emotions we see here is sign that we are worried about final quality of product, especially because we had some "questionable" example(s) in not so distant past.

Yes, swooping is....bad.....

[Splinter Cell 108]

I think ME3 is probably going to be amazing and all but I know enough not to disregard what others are saying and that doesn't count the mindless complaints that some people post. Complaints pertaining to the introduction for example are mostly made by people who have valid points not by random fools.

Nonetheless, BioWare doesn't do much of anything to reassure that things are not as bad as they seem. All I've seen them do is tweeting some stuff, that's enough for some but after DA2 I don't think its enough for me which is what worries me. I wish they would provide solid evidence not just some words on some social site.

[CerberusSoldier]

well Op after playing ME 3 MP Bioware might be on their way to the best Mass Effect game of the series and their best game ever

[DarkPsylocke26]

I don't know how you can be worried about a game that hasn't come out yet. There is two weeks left wait until then to make a decsion on the game.

[Tazzmission]

i really dont see how you can say pre cod era since this isnt really cod type mp

i think itll go fine honestly and this is from someone who hates mp


i admit i catch myself slipping into the me3 mp and im already at lvl 16 or 17 adept asari

[loungeshep]

I don't see the correlation between mass effect and call of duty at all.

[Alchemist4]

I'm a bit worried mainly because of the introduction of the MP into the series. Although a separate Bioware studio handled it than the one making the SP, I feel like not enough attention was placed on the heart of the game because of it. Perhaps, some more focus on the Graphics on top of the dialog options which seem to be a bit lacking in the Demo. Lastly, Mass Effect has suffered from in game glitches, and with the addition of MP, the game might be even more susceptible to more this time around.

I am very concerned right now, I plan on buying and playing and seeing if my concerns are confirmed and if are will lead to massive disappointment but I won't know till see for myself. Would have to look at my review though to see what in detail because too much to re-post here and I would class as spam being in multiple places same information. I will give a very brief summary though but like said if need more in depth have to read the review, given this is just a summary you can imagine how big 'full detail' version might be. Worst of all, the more information that comes out (reviews and such already out for example Guardian paper had one), it appears my concerns are founded on solid ground.

1. As it stands right now I have major concerns and disappointment over the introduction and goes beyond just the trial element explained here. Vega explaining things later does not actually resolve this at all as I explained in my review as also explained why reading two comics does also not resolve this for me and greater detail in it.

2. Another concern is the heavy use of auto dialogue forcing a persona of their Shepard onto my own which is out of character, a feature that is shown very heavy in the demo (85% in use for the demonstration of game), and I expect will be same throughout the entire game where they replace my Shepard whch built over past two games into a generic canon robot responses more inline with their own canon Shepard persona.

3. Another concern but not major one right now is the mini games associated with hacking and such as talked about in Bypass thread, I liked those mini games (unlike the planet scanning mini game which I literally detest) all other mini games in ME2 I thought was very good and enjoyed. At this stage if go by demo we have none which is disappointment yet again for me personally. But we do not have an answer to such simple question is there or is there not hacking mini games in the retail version but the Guardian review mentions no examples of it's use so leads me to believe answer is no mini games for hacking and such like ME2.

4. One more issue is a major one in how much effect importing really has on the game, Chris thread about try without import first brought questions and concern about how little will be effected by imports upon the major amount will merely be reliance on imagination and nostalgia to notice difference instead of seeing a clear difference. Example is no import you see Wrex and do same things with Wrex but import you see Wrex and do same things with Wrex, if lucky maybe few lines of different dialogue. Thats a concern for me.

Those are really my main concerns. The lack of trial was a big one but is an aspect that covers more than just a confrontation with admirals, wider issues with introduction plays a part too. At this stage I can only hope at some point their will be a prelude DLC for time on Earth spanning those 6 months and trial released at later date because I would buy that and would solve one of my issues. The rest mostly (probably) can't be solved by DLC though.

I know that feel bro, its been nothing but bad news. Jack Wall isn't doing the music, Drew Karpyshyn isn't doing the story, EA have their hands all over this (f%& Origin).. and then my Femshep code from ME2 made a monstrous looking thing in the ME3 demo, I've been told its because its a demo, codes arn't the same etc etc.. but long Story short; I am very worried.
BUT
This is Bioware. They wont let me down.

[Spectre 007]

Not worried at all, just the opposite...freaking excited! ME3 seems to have struck the perfect balance between the first two. Tighter gunplay, more defined skill trees, weapon mods are back(that actually change the appearance of said weapons), more enemy variety w/better AI.

[Grue0435]

If I keep low expectations on everything I'm never disappointed . That being said my expectations are far higher for ME3. Based on the demo though I'm not worried. Im confident my hard earned cash wont be wasted . My only issue so far seems to be the dialogue trees seem to only have paragon and renegade response , but I'm sure it's purely a demo thing so as not to give any spoilers.

[What a Succulent Ass]

I wasn't before.

Bit more unsure now.

[Dragoonlordz]

Unfortunately the only sure way of removing any potential (new) concerns is to ignore all the trailers, all the demonstrations and all information pertaining to the title past knowing it's name and release date. Even then brings concern will it be pushed back or out on time. No win situation. But limitation can be achieved if I was not so weak willed as to spending so much time on here. The downside is I have four concerns (listed above) in total that would not exist prior to playing the demonstration, watching the trailers and taking part in game discussions relating to Mass Effect 3 currently.

[FoxShadowblade]

I have a friend who is ignoring everything to do with ME3, he's never even seen the first trailer.

That is the only way to not worry about a game. As for all of you worriers, the game will let you down, oh so horribly, your hearts will be so crushed that Satan himself will weep for you.

But you'll get over it.

[GIJooTheWarHero]

The only thing I'm worries about is getting in line soon enough to be number 1.

[The Executioner]

Another midnight release i pray it's not like it was for Skyrim there were a ton of people it was a 3hr ordeal. ME2 took about 30 to 40 minutes to get a copy.
