DA2 is not that bad. They removed the sandboxing though, which hurted. But the theme itself was cool.

My local game magazine is going to have a review, of ME3, by tomorrow. (At least that's what they said)

[Lee T]

I pre ordered. But after ME2 and DA2 who both disappointed me it's my last gesture of trust. If I'm disappointed again then Bioware goes back to my "wait for half price developer" category.

I have been waiting for this for years..Heck no I wont wait!! I don't listen to reviewers anyway.. My own review is the only one that counts. My money=my review.

I already love the pvp, and the demo. I don't need some one to tell me I like something.

Besides, I am not sure that the reviewers are entirely subjective anyway. Does more swag equal better reviews? Don't know, don't care.

I will find out soon enough. Pre-ordered..

[DaJe]

I havn't forgotten about DA2. So yes. And not the likes of IGN.

I don't buy games at release anymore, haven't done for a long time, I see no advantage buying at release when you can wait 6-12 months and buy it on a sale, in fact I see only disadvantages to buying at release.

Agreed. The only down-side is waiting. Waiting gets you: lower price, more bug fixes, richer community.

Extra money is that: Extra money, I don't need it, not even to go out
with my pals and get drunk. It's just leftovers accumulated from other
purchases.

Savings, IRA, investment - you can do a lot of more useful things with "extra money".

Eh, DA2 was confusing for me.  There were parts I really liked, but there were others that I didn't.

However, it got to the point where I just couldn't finish the game.  Aside from FemHawke herself, I felt nothing for the characters or any real engagement in the situation in the game.  That's what broke the game for me.  

On topic, I don't care for reviews.  First off, numerical values over an experience is just a load of  ****ocks.  Not only is it an oversimplistic cop-out for those too lazy to even look at what has been put into the game, but they are highly manipulative.  Why is an 85% game now considered average?  It's completely mental.

Secondly, their experience will be different from mine.  They may be more forgiving/critical of certain elements than I would be, and some things that may not understand, I may be the opposite.

Reviews are ok for a quick first impression, but a) read the review and gather the actual context of the prose and think for yourself most of all, as you're the one this is going to matter to.

I already prepaid for the CE, so no waiting, will probably be at Gamestop at midnight. Definitely not waiting, told my wife i will not exist for 24 hours on 3/6 so i will not be interrupted. Not waiting, defi.itely not waiting!

[Madatyou]

Bioware seems to be making quite a few people mad with this whole ME3 deal. If it's really as bad people have been saying, it would be a waste of time, money, and bandwidth to even pirate it.

[Wulfram]

I'm waiting until it gets cheaper.

[tay2208]

Midnight release.

I find metacritic numbers to be pretty useful actually. Say a 70% game is a good ride for a weekend, an 85% game is a decent game with some flaws, and a 90%+ is most likely a winner. Anything lower than 70% might be fun, but definitely not for full price.

[ncknck]

But of course this isn't a problem. No. $10 dlc is the problem.

Ah, Starcraft 2. If those factions were taken out of vanilla Starcraft, then yes, that too is a problem But how is that an excuse for BioWare to also exploit DLC?

How is From Ashes exploitation in any way?

The Collector's Edition was always marketed as having a squadmate the retail game wouldnt have. You're lucky that you can get it at all without getting the CE.

People just like to **** I guess.

[mybudgee]

I am usually more reserved about these type of purchases, but Liara and femshep getting back together(preferably in the shower) makes me a bit impulsive, so...N7 edition waiting for me at midnight!

I always encourage people to be knowledgeable, responsible consumers. If you preordered because you love Mass Effect that much and know that you'll probably like it, then great! we thank you for your support and hope you're not disappointed.

If you're going to wait and read a few reviews or rent it for a little while first or play it at a friend's place first to try it out, then great! We thank you for considering us and hope that, when you do play it, you enjoy it!

If you're choosing to not buy or play the game, for whatever reason, then great! I'm sorry we couldn't tempt you this time and we hope you'll find one of our future products more to your liking. Thank you for your support.

Saw Stanley Woo and was totally expecting End of Line

[AcidRelic]

N7 Midnight release. I don't trust review and with a game like this that I have played both 1 and 2 and liked them both then there is no reason for me to wait for reviews, I make the decision if it was worth it or not on my own.

[ODST 3]

I have the CE pre-ordered but I'm getting very concerned about the endings. Not read any leaks but Bioware promised there would be variety and I have heard that all endings are basically equally miserable.

I'm not sure which class/race you're talking about, but the expansions added WAY more content than anything that was already developed on release. Give me a break.

HEYHEYHEY

Blizzard is giving us a FULL campaign experience for those $40 sir.

Totally not ripping the fans off for more money.

[mutermath]

I've already made up my mind, even if the game gets a 1 on metacritic.com I'm still playing it
