You put 50 hours into DA2, oh lord may have mercy on your soul, how could you, the game was absolute crapload of pissshiteness, i could not play it for more than 6 hours without vomiting all over my keyboard out of boredom. One simply does not play DA2 and then complain about Mass Effect 3 for being +- better than DA2.

I gotta admit, I'm starting to like this game.
I hated the prologue (which includes Mars) but the other missions I've done were actually quite good.
First I did the Prothean. I'm not sure why he sounds slightly Jamaican, but he's an interesting character and his comments on the current races were fun (especially his closing comment on the Salarians).
Then I did Garrus. It was mostly average and "THIS IS WAR" but tolerable.
Then I did Jack (not knowing it was Jack's mission) and I loved it, mostly because of Jack.
I thought I would hate this game but right now, it's about on par with ME2 for me. Meaning not as good as what Bioware should produce, but better than most games I've tried in the past few months.

I played it on the PS3, so basically I played the game like the old console versions of the Baldur's Gate series; hack'n'slash aRPG. The game was a god damned travesty compared to DAO, and pretty much anything else Bioware had ever made, but egh... I play a lot of games. Some good, some shit.

@ Yondaine
In fact, I was just wanting to minimize the overreaction of Bioware ~~
Developers are right to defend their creation BUT in the same time shouldn't be afraid to be criticized, cause finally the MOST IMPORTANT is their $$$$, while players just want fun.
BUT it's true that ME3 was subject to many changes in comparison with ME1 and ME2, Bioware should have known that maybe players wouldn't be glad, even if they have made such choices according feedbacks given by gamers themselves.
Edit: From Ashes already installed, will try it later in the game.

But seriously DA2 50 hours.... Oh man, you were suffering or had like 3-5 days when you have nothing to do at all, everything else is better than that i mean everything even the latest Call of Juarez The Cartel (Maybe i overshot this one), but still man.... I dont know if i should be adoring you or be scared of you know.

In typical nfohump derp icon spamming fashion, half of the people who said they weren't going to bother with the game are making half-assed criticisms pretending that ME1 was the best thing ever and that ME2 and ME3 were genocide. Well, wait, suddenly ME2 was the best thing ever too, and now only ME3 is the bad one.
So, here's a non-overdramatic-little-bitch view on the game:
The prologue IS as bad as everyone makes it out to be. A piss poor start to the game compared to ME1 and ME2 prologues.
After that however, the game is actually pretty great. The combat is better than Mass Effect 2's thanks to some tweaking.
The environments are MUCH improved, the world seems a hell of a lot less blocky than it was in ME1/2, and a lot better looking for that matter.
The sound/music/voiceover stuff is great as usual.
The interface & port job are as bad as they were in Mass Effect 1/2. As expected, no controller support, and your interface uses an awkward combination of arrows & mouse clicks that clearly show it wasn't looked after.
Overall though? I'd give the game a solid 8.5/10 so far.

So how's the choice and consequence thing carrying over into the third game? Does Councilor Anderson have my Shepard's back? What about the Rachni queen? Was saving her the right thing? Or should I have killed her? What's the difference?

telling you the truth, it's a matter of fact with NFOHump: EACH game get flamed. Each game is a piss and not worth of money. Each game is an insult to human kind. |
To tell YOU the truth, you're dead wrong. On NFOrce we praise games that actually achieve something beyond the terrible ports we are accustomed to. Have you seen the Deus Ex Human Revolution thread? That game is praised and revered by many here. How about Bastion? The Witcher 1 and 2, Skyrim (for all its faults a lot of NFOrcers do love), etc etc... There are MANY games us critically minded folks like around here.
Don't act as if we somehow make things up all the time. We do exagerate on purpose because it's kind of the inside humor of this forum, but 99% of the time, when a thread has lots of comments regarding the game being derp this and derp that, it's for a reason.
This game is certainly a major fuckup in many ways, and is DEFINITELY NOT worth the money. Shameful DLC fuckup, shitty FOV (with SHITTY excuse (carefully chosen my fucking ass)), removal of holstering animation because of performance problems (even if I were to believe that bullshit, that is certainly not something a PC user should have to care about so just another fuckup there), worse dialogue than ME2 (which in itself is quite the achievement), less graphic options and unnecessary UI changes.
I'm sure there is more to be found, but come on, why in the hell would I want to support this crap? Just the fact that they wouldn't want to fix the FOV because it's been carefully considered (FOR CONSOLES) is enough for me to not want to give them any money just out of spite. |

Anderson
 Spoiler: | I choose Udina. Apparently Anderson's not a councilor for some people? |
Queen:
| Spoiler: | Rachni queen was saved in my file and met her again in ME3 |
What's the difference?
How the fuck should I know? Games been out a day... I work and have other responsibilities  .
My point is, it's not all doom & gloom. If you enjoyed ME2 you'll probably enjoy this.

Not if they fucked up the animation. Also what's this I hear about them killing Emily Wong on Twitter so they could replace her with what's her face reporter who's based off a video game journalist, that's wearing an outfit that doesn't really make sense but hey it's cool because it shows off her tits.

It's not as bad as some make it out to be, I guess you exaggerate a bit IMO. Still, it's sad to see once great BioWare putting out this kind of "quality". It's a decent game, enjoying it about as much as I did enjoy playing ME2, so I guess it's worth playthrough. However I definitely wouldn't pay a dime for it.

What about the people that slammed it (ME3), said that they would download and play the final version anyway, but ended up not doing that (yet)?

For me, ME1 was awesome, best game eva!11, ace, sublime. ME2 was only half the game i was expecting, you gather up your crew and once you had everyone in i was expecting the second part of the game to start, but there wasnt a second part and instead it ended. Now ME3.. started too bland too boring.. i admit im a bit curious about defending earth.. but unless something REALLY interesting happens, the game is ruined..
