Got home with my copy. Ready to dig in like a mofo. My first gripe. Three online codes I need to enter.

One for the online pass.
One for the argus assault rifle
One for the DLC.

my main gripe is that i had to hit the eject button five times before the tray actually opened. not a good sign

Gripe #2. My face won't import. Apparently a wide spread issues. Annoying. How do you fuck that up.

edit: So now I have to boot up ME 2 just to take a look at her so I can try to recreate it.

the graphics are horrendous, the story is literally written by a idiot and teh gameplay is the same as DA2's "waves of enemy come in from behind you". fuck bioware

Mine seemed to import okay, might have been slightly different.

Such a game never elicited such binary reactions from the gamerverse. I fear civil war.

It literally says it can't import your face when it doesn't work.

It's really dumb that they didn't test it. So I'm booting up ME 2 and before you can even get to the face thing you have to sit through that long ass intro where you die.

But I remembered there are face codes. So I thought cool I'll just look up the face code for my face. But imported faces don't show the face code. So I have to recreate it in ME 2 and then bring over that face code. I tried just making the face in 3 but it didn't look right. Like I said really dumb they didn't adequately test out the most iconic thing to test. How you look and the face importing.

I don't know. I have a feeling it could take awhile to get that first patch. At least a week or so or longer because it already had a 1 day one patch. The face creator sucks in three too. I can say that because I'm directly comparing it to the one in 2 which I just booted up. It's worse and harder to create good looking faces.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #254 on:** March 06, 2012, 06:37:10 PM »

the gay shit in this game is really forced and kind of disgusting. you pretty much have a wing of the nromandy where all the gays hangout. and of course they're the butchiest most spacemaureens of them all.

UPS fucked me over. Tracking history says that they left it on my porch at 3:19pm, which is bullshit. I was home waiting for them and no one ever rang my doorbell. Checked outside at about 4pm and there was no package there. I'm fucking pissed. I can't even report it lost until tomorrow.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #256 on:** March 06, 2012, 07:49:05 PM »

the very first stuff you do on Earth is pretty not good.
the stuff after that is pretty good.

just got to where the game opens up and stopped. gonna probably put some hours over the weekend.

It took me like two hours to get something remotely resembling my fem shep. I originally made her look like Jada Pinkett in Demon Knight.

It's not nearly as good as before but I just wanted to play the fucking game. I've convinced myself she had plastic surgery or something.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #262 on:** March 06, 2012, 11:55:31 PM »

that's actually pretty similar to my shep except she's not a blond

I wish Bioware would figure out a combat scenario other than "fight off waves of similar enemies until the game decides you've killed enough."

I'm really tempted to read the ME3 endings to see if they're really that crap.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #266 on:** March 07, 2012, 02:18:22 AM »

Got in about 5 hours. Enjoying myself as I expected. One minor thing I really like is how the weapon/class restrictions have been removed. I never used a shotgun in either game before. Now its fun to roll around with them and test them out. So far hardcore is pretty easy, especially since it allows you start at whatever level you stopped at in ME 2.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #267 on:** March 07, 2012, 02:33:36 AM »

That's cool. I've always wanted to snipe but biotics mattered more to me.

I'm still on the fence about buying this new even though I am so hyped to play it. I want to buy used used, save 30 bucks and stick it to THE MAN

Because if it was opened you would lose online access due to used online code

Your partners' grenades always seem to work really, really well. But whenever Shepard lobs a grenade it flies a hundred feet over the enemy's head.

All things considered, I would tend to agree with the review consensus: ME3 is a really good game, but it's not as good as ME2 because of some weird design choices and a lack of variety in the combat.

It's to force people who buy used games to also buy an online pass direct from the publisher.

They include a one-time use code with the game so you can't buy the game used (or if you do buy it used, you end up paying more because you have to buy the pass too). Just another way for you, the consumer, to get violated anally.

It's more Mass Effect. I'm enjoying myself but then I've always loved the universe which is sort of a rip of Babylon 5 mixed with Star Trek mixed with comic books but hey I love most of those things. There are more references to the books in this one which is nice for nerdy fans like myself.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #294 on:** March 07, 2012, 06:38:18 PM »

I like that they tied in the ME2 DLC plots/characters into ME3, made the whole things feel a bit more cohesive even if it was only a few scenes.

tiesto · « **Reply #295 on:** March 07, 2012, 06:44:22 PM »

I just made it to the Citadel, it's pretty much more of the same so far, which isn't a bad thing. Looks like you can do a bit more weapon customization in this one, and you can level up any time. One thing I don't like is the guido character. Is that really necessary? Did Bioware feel they needed more sales in the Long Island and New Jersey region?
