Went through twice now, absolutely loving all the changes they've made. Vanguard is extremely fun with the addition of Nova, and the sound effects of everything really pump everything up. My second play was as an Adept, but the way the demo is laid out forces 4 weapons on you so the recharge time is too high to get much done without comboing off the squad. The first segment was really quick, made it fun to mix the two powers you had.

Also, the Kinect stuff is actually really impressive. I thought it would just be throwaway stuff, and I would never say salvage, open door, etc. or say things over the dialog wheel, but the combat commands already added a lot at the Atlas fight the second time through. I was rolling around avoiding shots I was able to tell Liara to use singularity, garrus to overload, use my mapped commands to throw grenade clusters, and getting to heal by saying it. The entire fight went by without a single pause to the power screen, which made it seem really hectic and fun.

I'll try it again tomorrow on Insane, I can definitely see the game being a lot harder compared to the previous two. I haven't been watching any footage of the game, and I'm very happy right now.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Looks like I'm gonna have to wait 'til Tuesday, that Expert Zone thing doesn't work. :lol

 

[Kyoufu]

I want to avoid the demo until the game is out but fuuuuuuuuck I need my Vanguard fix.

 

[JerkShep]

Wow turrets are a pain in the ass.
I love the new health method, but some of the new moves (roll) don't seem to "connect" really well with the old one, a lot of the time when I sprint towards a cover Shepard does a roll at the end and you find yourself near the cover but standing :/ I think I have to get used to it, I'm still playing like ME2 but it seems this time you have to be more dinamic, standing behind a cover for the whole time it won't do much at higher levels of difficulty.
Oh and you're taking damage behind cover when you are partially "exposed", that's a big one considering that in ME2 you were almost invicible behind a cover. I like it.

Do you know if someone has compiled a list with all the definitive powers and evolutions?

[JerkShep]

At the beginning you can choose who died, you can choose between Ashley, Kaidan and "A LOT" or something like that, did someone try it? Changes?

 

[Moaradin]

Might have Wrex be killed off as well?

 

[B00TE]

I just got a code! Downloading it now. :]

 

[Sai]

Ashley looks much better now.

Beta:

Woah... Now I understand why folks seemed to be going so crazy(in a bad way) over Ashley's face around the time of the leak.

Glad it was fixed.

Oh and you're taking damage behind cover when you are partially "exposed"

Like, when you're crouched behind the waist-high cover?

 

[Moaradin]

where?

She looks pretty hot for a racist.

Also, I wonder why the spectre insignia isn't on her armour anymore?

 

[B00TE]

Hey thanks!

I won a code... I didn't even know what I was doing lol. I just clicked things randomly and I apparently won. Yay.

It works! Got a code on first try. Just clicked random shit lol. Get em while they're hot folks.

 

[Sai]

Got the Normandy avatar prop. No demo... I'll try again in 2 hours, but I'm really in no rush.

Probably doesn't happen until later in the game.

Crashed IE for me and gets Firefox stuck in an infinite loop :/

 

[Sai]

So, if you win one item, you can't just win it again, right?

If I win this thing in another 2 hours, they're not going to throw a code for another avatar prop in my face, are they?

Switch to Chrome?

 

[Blue Ninja]

Aw come on. Tried three times and it didn't work, bullshit.

Anyone who already has it willing to try it for me? This is lame.

 

[Cetra]

Has anyone tried recreating the official ME3 Femshep in ME2 yet? I know it can't match perfectly but, I'd like to see how close we could get. Gonna try my hand at it this morning to pass some time.

 

[Moaradin]

First thing I'm going to do is see how good the custom sheps are in ME3.

 

[Photolysis]

Switch to Chrome?

I'll settle for the old standby of hitting my PC and screaming very loudly at it. Works for my TV.

Spoiler

No seriously, my TV has an occasional problem with the picture that can be solved by hitting it. Whoever tells you this doesn't work on solid-state electronics is lying!

Make another facebook account? I just did it on another account. D:

I just got another key as a surprise for my dad.

Did anyone post their shep with the new hair yet

 

[Wiggum2007]

Did anyone post their shep with the new hair yet

Female Shepard hair options look kinda crap IMO. My old hair choice looks awful now and lots of them are just really wonky looking, took a lot of adjusting with my ME1 and 2 Shep to get something decent.

Yeah the million uses for the A button is really annoying. Also I feel like I'm doing something wrong with the locked doors in the demo, are you supposed to hold A? Tap A? Also I didn't like that there were weapon mods for me to pick up but then there was no upgrade table anywhere

If you don't have it in a couple of hours, I will definitely get you a code since apparently you can do it after every 2 hours.

 

[SeanR1221]

Tried chrome, no code is showing

 

[shinnn]

got one code in the last attempt of my second account

thanks!

edit: using IE

 

[Blue Ninja]

Thanks bro. I just got one using my dad's Facebook, though. Got it on the first try, downloading it now.

 

[SeanR1221]

So is anyone else just getting a blank page when they push view codes?

Yea they've always looked crap, I think only 1 or 2 of them look tolerable, I was wondering if the new hair is any good, someone said the ones they show in the concept art (like the short hair) were in.

I might just continue to go with that 1 hair or go bald if they all still suck feelsbadman.jpg

[Deleted member 13876]

App crashed and I'm now locked out for two hours. Hurray.

I ocassionally have to hit my TV to make the screen turn on. It's annoying. :lol

Hmmm I don't remember this concept art, I can't tell if any are new or not. Some of them are definitely fairly dramatically changed from their old versions.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

ugh, so facial animations still look crappy? thats one of the reasons i cant stand dealing with the story/dialogue; just ruins the immersion in an otherwise awesome looking game. I'd almost rather them not move their mouths at all, haha.

 

[Anteater]

maybe they're not in the game afterall, or not in the demo

These are the concept people voted for, someone said those hair made it into the game for people to use:

 

[JonCha]

Totally guessed and got a code first time. Nice one whoever found that app.

 

[MrDaravon]

I got a Normandy code, then it locked me out for 2 hours, I guess you can only win one thing at a time or something. Oh well, will try again later.

Worked, third attempt.

 

[CAW]

Will there be a PC demo at some point? Is that official?

 

[B00TE]

I just tried it out for a short bit. The short version: I love it. And it's made me realize that come March 6th, I don't think Street Fighter x Tekken will suck up 90% of my time (though it's still gonna get the most of it!).

Really interested to see how the multiplayer will play. If that's just gonna let us do a lot of fighting, I can see the demo being a fun timewaster till the 6th.

[Kimaka]

Anyone want the early access demo code? I tried the app out to get the Normandy avatar item but got a demo code which I already have.

Edit: VVVV pm'd

 

[jediyoshi]

I imagine there'd have to be for people to unlock the ME3 stuff into Reckoning PC

Downloading! This will be SWEET.

 

[EatChildren]

I don't own an Xbox, but if anybody scores a spare code I have a friend that would love it, and thus if does not go to a gaffer I'd love to pass it on.
