Yeah, and my whole point was that I don't like the Star Wars setting. I know what UFP is. I love the **** out of Star Trek.

Nothing he said gives reason as to why I should like Star Wars in the first place.

KotOR was good enough reason to like star wars.

That said, anyone who didn't like the original trilogy way back then is just being contrary.

All three of the movies were out before I was even alive. I've never been a big fan.

As Khross is always so quick to point out, no game, regardless of how good it is, can overshadow lore (or writing) that you don't care for.

On another topic, the DLC unlocker for ME3 is available now, too.

That's true; I don't disagree. Do indeed carry on.

So, I bought the Digital Deluxe version of this from Amazon. I downloaded it tonight and the installer installed something called 'Origin' on my PC.

What the hell is this ? and do I need it to play this game? I just want to install the game, not a bunch of sales promotion crap...

*rage*

So far, this is my favorite ME game in the series. I came close to shedding tears on two parts so far.

Spoiler:
RIP Thane and Mordin. You will be missed.

Just figured I'd pop in and say "what up." I grabbed a copy along with a Kinect last night. Look me up on XBL as Screeling1 so we can take the fight to the Reapers. Digging it so far, although my wife keeps giving me weird looks for talking to the TV. Saying the lines on the conversation wheel gives a better sense of immersion into Shep's role (at least for now, while it's new). Feels weird playing this game on a controller though.

And Raltar, you came close to shedding tears because you're a girl, not because the game was poignant... :)

Apparently, due to the availability of gay romance options for Shepard, Metacritic has been targeted by some religious/political organization to "bomb" the game's user rating. It's receiving an astounding number of "0" reviews all commenting on the gay content, to contrast the 10's it's receiving from legitimate reviewers. It's averaging 4.8 on the user reviews as a consequence.

From what I've seen, Mass Effect 3 has worse gay-romance scenes than instructional video from Westboro Baptist Church. They're just horrible.

Does Miranda make a showing? Have not encountered her yet. Haven't even gotten Ashley back on the team yet.

So far I've met and or recruited
Spoiler:
Dr. Michele [ME1]
Dr. Chawkwas [ME1 & 2] *
Thane [ME2]
Garrus [ME1 & 2] *
EDI 2.0 [ME2] *
Jake *
Captain Bailey [ME2]
Kelly Chambers [ME2] (Not clear if recruitable or not, I don't think I rescued the crew fast enough on the save I'm using, so she might be able to join the ship)
Jack [ME2] (just met so may or may not be able to recruit)
Engineer Adams [ME1]

Spoiler:
Miranda apparently does make an appearance.

Okay, the low ratings have moved from gay-bashing to something more legitimate, that I cannot comment on as I haven't yet played the game. Apparently there is no "happy" ending to the story, no matter what choices you make. By "happy ending", I mean there is no possible ending in which Shepard is alive, intact, and human.

Yes. She'll email you and you can meet her on the Citadel.

Infiltrators = RAPE Machines, again.

Cloak rank 6 that allows power use without breaking invis + Operational Mastery far enough to get sniper slow down. Cloak, incinerate some fools and headshot while they're screaming like *****? Yes please. Equip only two weapons and you'll be able to cloak again right after a reload of the Widow.

Well, you are on a path to save all organic life in the universe. Like it or not, some good is going to come of your adventure. :lol:

So has anyone else run into the issue importing your ME2 save? "Mass Effect 3 cannot determine the custom face code used by your imported save game, please update your characters appearance." And then it wants me to recreate from scratch.

Bummer, I liked my shep from ME1 and 2, made it feel like a real epic. Apparently Bioware knows about the issue and is working on a fix. The hilarious part is the screaming on their forums. I WILL NOT PLAY THIS GAME UNLESS I CAN HAVE MY SHEPARD, I AM NEVER BUYING BIOWARE AGAIN, ETC ETC ETC. Heck, most series don't even give you the option to import.

Yeah it's a common issue. I couldn't import my Shep face but didn't want to bother recreating it, either, so I didn't really care. I imagine it's due to engine tweaking and cross-platform changes that make the facial codes no longer valid.

Ok, I played it off, but once I started playing, it actually sucks big time. I attempted to recreate my character, but you're right, the character designs are drastically different. Honestly, it's like they hired another actor 3 films into the series to replace the main character, very distracting. I ended up creating a FemShep to play with now, until they get a patch out.
