Why wouldn't I be? Generally, other people's opinions are inferior to mine, so their judgment regarding the game is utterly useless.

Yes. Despite the reaction I've seen to the leaked endings, Mass Effect 3 is going to be closing a pretty big chapter in my gaming career. I mean, hell, it's been 5 years. I'm expecting sadness and epicness, Bioware!

But I'm mostly expecting Faunts. If that, or something like it, plays in the credits...whew.


I have not looked at anything regarding leaked endings, other than a couple thoughtless people posting spoilers in this forum earlier on a thread that started as a non-spoiler that eventually was closed. As soon as I started to read anything that even sounded like a spoiler I backed out of that and stayed away.

I actually HOPE the ending is sad and bittersweet or even hard to swallow. It's rare for a game to take storytelling to a place where the protagonist doesn't just wipe them all out and no one has to sacrifice to make it happen. It's also very implausible given the technology and ruthlessness of the Reapers that the huge cast of characters we've met and the many races we've encountered would make it through a war without lots of casualties. So I want bad things to happen and I want people to have to die to secure the continued survival of the galaxy. I want to be taken on an emotional journey in the end, not just blow stuff up, save the day, everybody survived, get the girl, rinse, repeat.

Well, I really don't know how to start writing this post, but I'll try to do my best.

OK: here, there and everywhere all over the world exist people who all call themselves by one name: gamers. So, I can say I'm a gamer too, just like all of you out there. We all are so different but unique in our own ways in looking at things, expectations, happiness or sadness.. well, we all are just humans. And that's it.

We have ME1, we have ME2, but which is better, the first one or the second one? Well, I just don't care cuz I enjoyed in both of them a lot of times and that stands true even today, in the era of incoming ME3.

I did not liked MAKO in the first game and I missed a lot Liara in the second game as a squadmate. I don't like The Council in both games cuz they act strange and I disagree with them all the time, but I still saved their heads at the end of the first game. MAKO was giving me a headache but it was sometimes funny to jump with it off a cliff right in front of a treshermaw or roll over entire vehicle on a flat ground :) And yes, I dislike Jacob a lot, but still, he was a nice and polite squad member to me who listens to my orders with no question. And yes, I found mining minigame or gathering resources in the second game so cool that I depleted almost every planet that I encountered. And listen to Mordin singing or get drunked with Dr. Chakwas... impossible to forget :)

Heh, and DA2, OK, no big deal, that game was exciting and good, Kirkwall, Kirkwall, Kirkwall, and then again Kirkwall, a small bit of deep roads or those 2 caves on the wounded coast, and again Kirkwall, or that uber cool mirror (ohh I love good mods, especially changing my personal appearance every now and then during play) and crazy romances, hehehe, or clumsy Merrill or wild Isabela and red head hard Aveline always stabbing her back... precious :D

But, who cares, it's just me or maybe my crazy woman's fantasy, and as much that I'm sad that this is the end of the road for my FemShep, I'm still happy that I was a part of this great story just like all of you people out there. I don't care what those people who were called "haters" think about this great franchise, it's just their opinion and their right as human beings to think what they want.

Yes, I am very much excited and can't wait for ME3 to come out. And there is no one alive on this planet and beyond that could make me change my mind and make me cancel my collector's edition preorder. My FemShep will have her epic end of the story cuz we both deserve it, she as my gaming icon and me as a gamer. And , to put it simple, that's it. This game will be great :)


Well said. I think the ME franchise is something different for everyone and a lot of people are really looking forward to taking what we've done and finishing up the story (even though finishing it is bittersweet). I include myself in that category. I have 4 ME2 playthroughs ready to go and it's safe to say all of them will get played relatively soon after launch. I'm sure I'll beat my first one by the end of next week and the 2nd at least by the end of March (trip to Vegas for March Madness will cut out some gaming time).

I do think some people care a little too much or are too invested, as a previous poster said. These are the people that see an ending or a part of the story or game mechanic they don't like and get angry or bitter and resentful. Usually these people are really fans of the series but I think sometimes people can't just let the game be a game and resign themselves to the fact that it will never be designed or written EXACTLY as they want it to be. I can live with it and will still enjoy the outcome of ME3, be it happy, sad, bittersweet, or just bitter. It's the story BioWare wanted to tell and I can respect that. They still give me a lot of choice and freedom to make that story my own (within a set of parameters, obviously), and that's more than can be said for most games out there.

I hate how everybody compares things to DA2. You guys know some people actually liked it? Bioware tried something different, it didnt work. It is done and over so FORGET it. Then there is the fact that both games are made by different teams. Not only that but they are two toatally different games. I am no saying people cant be concerned for a game they hold dear or that they cant be pessimistic but if you want to hate on Mass Effect 3 do it because you think the game itself looks and sounds bad not because you think its going to be another DA2. OH and for that matter maybe wait for the game to be released first as well.

I will stick with my heroic John Sheploo until the bitter end. So, yes, I'm still looking forward to the game. If nothing else, to wrap up Shepard's story. But I will probably move on after finishing my one "canon" playthrough. It will be a similar to what I did when playing Xenosaga back in the day.

Yeah, I'm still going to get it, but my expectations will not lean in either direction until I play it. I've learned the hard way about setting lofty expectations and about setting them too low as well. Maybe it's best to go in with none at all.
