Mass Effect 3 Demo Impressions [Online Open To All]

wat

the PC port of ME1 was broken and atrocious. Missing lava textures, choppy audio, etc.

I had zero issues with ME2 PC.

I thought they patched most of that out? The UI was a much better fit in ME1, it felt more like a PC game I guess is what I'm saying.
 
Ass GAF will be happy, as FemShep's booty is fucking huge now.

The PC versions of Mass Effect games ran like butter.

Downloading 3 now on Origin... I have BF3 LE installed and all; do I already have the online access and whatnot?

and no, that's not default femshep.

Oh thank god, don't want the new "canon" femshep to be in the actual game and don't want my default ME1/2 femshep to be butchered even further in ME3.

Seriously they did something with the lighting cause it was fine in ME1. ME2, not so much.
 
Oh my... this is the kind of game that actually looks better at 720p on a TV all blurry with a noise filter.


There's a whole new menu just for "Narrative" options oO
 
"The Mass Effect 3 demo features over two hours of the groundbreaking single player campaign and action packed co-op multiplayer missions."

Is it really 2 hours of single player? That would be very un-EA like.

It's a good amount. I would say more like an hour and a half depending on the difficulty though.

If they won't do one for PC only 'ToR', then I highly doubt we'll be seeing one here.

Or we'll have to wait for custom texture packs made by players like for ME2. But even that was only for squadmates and made the game taking 5 minutes to load when you started it.
 
Well, it's a huge disappointment visually. Looks just like ME2. Shit textures, shit AA, shit shadows. Looks like a lot of tweaking and user done texture packs are needed. again.

I've heard the demo is not the final build.
 
Holy shit at the textures in Sur'Kesh.

At least you guys have a better FoV than the 360, I'm really jealous. Makes it hard as fuck to see anything going on in the stages aside from whats directly in front of you.
 
Well, colour me pretty underwhelmed by the intro. Significantly worse than ME2, which I thought was excellent. BioWare somehow made a Reaper invasion rushed, uneventful and frankly a little bit boring. No sense of chaos or population density, and the actual lead in to the invasion was Arrival levels of half arsed. Some people seem to love it, but if this is how the game begins then it's a hugely missed opportunity to me.
 
Is it my old XBOX and/or TV or does this game have some serious framerate issues? I can live with jaggies, low res textures and blur, but framerate is really my pet peeve.
 
Love how Origin claims I'm downloading @ 6.6 MB/s. Thanks for calling my ISP and getting me a free upgrade EA <3

Is it confirmed it's the same in the final game? Seemed like a total placeholder to me.
 
If you want a good laugh, aim the camera directly above femshep and start running in the Earth mission.

I give it a 7/10, you're right in that it's entirely too rushed to really have an impact on the player.

I haven't had any framerate issues at all. Check your tv settings. Sometimes people just have their tv set up wrong and it can cause some problems.

Framerate issues? I don't have those (360). At least i do not notice small drops if there are those.
