I'm not happy at this 15-20 hours main quest playtime hope that was just the reviewer!
because me1 is usually takes 30 hours no sidequests and Me2 normally takes me 35 hours no sidequests.

How the hell does it take you 35 hrs on the main quest? ME2 mainquest takes me less than 10 hours.

If ME2 took you 35 hours, a 15-20 hr will probably take you 40-ish. you have to play slow or something, because the main questline just isn't anywhere close to being that long, even if you do the loyalty missions.

I've said it twenty times if I've said it once, so I'll say it to both of you: different approaches. That's all it is. I finish ME2 with around 60 hours. I know it's possible to finish it in 10. And Jimmy? It's going to be the equivalent to ME2 or so, if not slightly more. I can virtually guarantee it. Why? Because reviewers tend to use middleground estimates. Something in-between your definition of final clock times and Kainry's.

Unless there's a big difference from the demo, the RPG mode isn't anything like ME1. They're either really really really overstating, or something is different from the demo.

Hell RPG and storymode didn't seem different to me at all.

By no means am I saying ME2 is 10 hrs long if you play it the way it's meant to be played. I rushed through it in the -10 hr playthrough. But even rushing, I just didn't see how it could take someone 35 hrs unless they died constantly.

Not much is missing from the demo. Some extra dialogue from Anderson if you import, which makes things less jarring IMO. That's about it. (No, I haven't played the game. No, you don't have to believe me. But yes, I have this on very good authority. Regardless, you'll see in ten days or so, heh.)

RPG and Story are separated because in Story the enemies are absolutely pathetically easy. In RPG they're adjustable, from Casual (which I'm not sure but I think is still harder than what they're like on Story) all the way up to Insanity.

Why german has to be such a barbaric language?

Was hast du gerade gesagt?!

.
Is this german? or are you just randomly typing letters to make fun of me? 

Oh, ja.

Well as a fellow german countryman I support him making fun of people who call german 'barbaric'. Especially those with italian sounding names.

It's Greek.

I heard Liara speaks greek :-)

But Italy is the birthplace of the most pure and perfect language of all!

My point was this: If graphics really are the game's #1 stumbling point, then I don't have to worry, since I'm not a graphics nut.  In fact, less intense graphics means it will run more smoothly on my junky laptop.

That's some god awful reasoning.  You should want the best possible graphics even if it doesn't run as smoothly.  Mainly because you will get a better pc but the game in of itself won't improve.

Better graphics = higher cost = more cost passed on to the consumer via alternative routes.

It also means when I update my computer I actually have to take into account gaming, which I no longer do, due to limited funds to waste on new hardware specs. Console gaming is a budgetable hobby. PC gaming is an exercise in wasteful spending (for me anyway).

I don't need to update to the newest graphics and processing power every year. Nor do I want to.

I'm happy with the graphics in 90% of console games. I don't need them better, nor do I want to pay for them to be better. And the games whose graphics I dislike are usually due to the way they utilized them and not the quality itself.

I did used to be a PC gamer. It was great but I can't say I enjoyed the games anymore than I do now on consoles. The graphics never mattered to me or were bad enough to me to warrant me caring.

What?  That makes very little sense and is pretty much constantly proven wrong.  You can look at Oblivion, Skyrim, RDR, any Rockstar game, or even Valve games and none of that holds up.

That's fine but that's your own choice then.  Even still it's not like we're talking minor issues with the graphics in that ME3 is close to Crysis and we're discussing squabbles about the textures being high enough.  Even for consoles the graphics are somewhat subpar.

Even 4 years down the road.  Atleast the option is there.

I'd imagine Jimmy does it kinda like I do, but I can't speak for him, obviously. For my money, I stop and soak in the sights from different camera angles everywhere I go, I leave the game running sometimes while cooking or cleaning in order to listen to the cool tracks through my TV, and I listen to every NPC conversation, meticulously operate the investigate options (unless they're contradictory, in which case I skip the non-fitting ones) and so forth.

So you never update your PC?  Most computers now can run even very intensive games back in the day such as Crysis and I'm sure basic PCs even two or three years from now will have no problems with Battlefield or Witcher 2.

The graphics, to me, improve on ME2's. If that's the least spectacular thing about ME3, it's gonna be a damn good game.

Activate your light cycle and keep going 

Now, seriously, these ones are very good news  As long as the frame rate problem is fixed (PS3 player), this game is going to be amazing  (It's going to be amazing anyway, but Bioware, please, solve that problem:crying:)

90 minutes of cut scenes worries me. I don't want auto-dialogue like in the demo, I want to direct what Shepard does and says.

The 90 min cut scenes are the videos, not in-game conversation.
This is mentioned because ME1-2 had only a few min. of cut scenes.

Actually ME 1-2 had 60 min of cutscenes, so 90 really isn't that much of an increase.             

50% isn't much?

Would you like $1,000 or $1,500?

[Nashiktal]

Judging from the overview in the op, that seems a fair review to me. Talks up the good, warns of the bad.

All thats left is to find out ourselves.

You all should know that Gamestar is a german magazine being very skeptical and are moaning about many things, so this is a pretty decent review i guess

And yea: They gave ME3 a 9/10 
here is their rating:
Sound 10/10
Quests/Plot 10/10
Charaters 10/10
Combat 8/10 (because of "stupid" AI)
And all other areas 9/10 (don't know which areas they mean)

From what I have played in the demo, the AI seems alot smarter than in the other ME games. Hell, smarter than in alot of games. Maybe they are refering to squad member AI, that AI always seems to be worse than the enemy AI for some reason.

or maibe they get normal dificulty , the ia is pretty good on insanity

Yeah. That 'malaka' thing she uses to characterize you if you follow a pro-Cerberus path in ME3 is actually a compliment.

Even on insanity, the Atlas gets stuck if you pick certain cover positions (near the ladder), making that boss fight trivial.

That'd be Phaethon actually. Phaedon is a minor philosopher, but mostly known as the name of the dialogue that depicts the death of Socrates. The one where he tries to prove the immortality of the soul.
