Yes it was. I don't think anyone used it much either, but it gave the illusion of (more) choice. That's why that now that it is removed, you are seeing "complaints" popping on the Internet.
It's not GFWL otherwise it would work out of the box.
Still, it's better to use a m/kb for this game instead anyways, if you ask me.

I won't see my n7 edition until friday but at least I only have 5ish hours of work that day, and an entire weekend! going to be so good.
People will still reply to you saying they play their PC games on a couch, so a controller is more comfortable in that case(true), or that they use m/kb all day at work and they dont want to continue using it at home. Although i dont get that last one, my work is basically in front of a computer all day, and i still use my computer a lot for gaming with m/kb only. Doesn't bother me at all.

Anyone like me who likes playing on their plasma t.v. and couch?? I'm desperately in search of an xpadder profile

The face doesn't import at the start for some reason but if you go to custom faces again and enter your ME2 code, it'll work. It's a weird error.

there's a possible solution here:

you'll need the pinnacle profiler app though.
edit: thanks for going all out on your port EA and charging a fee proportionate to the effort that so clearly went into it.

Thank you so much!!! Any idea if it works, going to get the game in an hour
If the demo is any judge (it should be), if you want to do that get the 360 or PS3 version.
The PC ui is way too fucking small to deal with anything more than arm's length away.
Also it's very obviously designed to be used with a kb/m, though if an xpadder profile works more power to you.

Can anyone tell me if Widow sniper rifle is back? Need to decide if I'm going Soldier or Infiltrator.

In the status screen under your Shepard's face.
I've seen a variation of it that you can buy. Its really expensive though.
You don´t want to know...
the extra bit with the kid will forever piss off fan´s... or not. Mileage may vary.

Infiltrator Insanity Run it is then. Thanks!
I didn't find his rage too far off as I walked into Target on launch day for Mass Effect 2 and pulled the Collector's Edition straight off the shelf. "Collector's Edition" does not actually imply "Limited Edition", but from what I have read EA may have actually produced a limited supply.

okay that's it I'm going to bed now, been fun staying up playing some but I need sleep before a mid-term this afternoon (probably not the best idea I've had...)
definitely looking forward to playing more later today
I'd greatly appreciate one for PC >_>

Got a question for anyone playing this on PC. Can you still have multiple profiles and is multiplayer locked to a single profile? I mean can my dad or my brother play on my account with their own profiles for the story mode benefits? (just found out about this from PCG today :| )
I'm expecting EA to be jerks about it like they were with BF3, my brother had to buy his own copy to play mp on the same computer back home. All the earlier BF games had the option of making multiple soldier IDs.

Huh that is an interesting question, I wonder how Multiplayer would work when I do my Renegade Shepard run
Pistol for long range pew pew and SMG for close range pew pew. Having imported my save from ME1/ME2, i started out at 30, soon leveled to 31, so that means i managed to fully upgrade singularity and warp to awesome effect
Little to no need of guns so far.
As little weapons as possible on most missions. If the MP demo is anything to go by, a heavy pistol with a scope is all you'd need and then you'd receive 150-200% cool downs. Biotics everywhere!

I cant for class to be over 10-3 I came close to skipping but thought otherwise, I'll be skipping tomorrow though as that class is only 50 min
When I start playing today after class there will be no stopping me...

One thing I like is how events are being mentioned in the game world and conveying a sense of scale for what is occurring. Things feel like a sense of apocalyptic dread is hanging over the galaxy. Disconnect from gamewide events are often an issue with many games so it's nice to see Mass Effect 3 handling the issue quite well.

Cutscene framerate is still kind of iffy when a lot of stuff is going on, but in battle its stable mostly. Its definitely improved from the demo.

I just played the PS3 demo to compare and the framerate didn't really bother me at all. Probably because I'm used to 10 times worse from playing ME2 on my crappy PC. If the demo represents the worst of it, then I'll be buying the PS3 version.
I'd also like to see more impressions though.
I finished the game on PS3, I say stick with the 360 version, I would rather put up with having to switch discs a couple times than having to deal with framerate drops, cutscenes that look like slideshows and awful texture pop in.
Here are my impressions from my first play session. No story spoilers, just gameplay aspects and impressions of the product:
Well I just played 8 straight hours worth of ME3 and overall, it is awesome. Yes, the writing can be cheesy. Yes, the animations are pretty bad. Yes, there is more auto dialogue in the beginning than in the other two games, but if you were able to look past the multitude of flaws with both ME1 and ME2 and see them as being greater than the sum of their parts, than you will love this game.
I'm playing it with an imported level 30 Soldier on Insanity and the AI is pretty impressive (there have been numerous spots where I have had a legitimately hard time progressing. It is the same as the MP demo, but it is worth noting that the headshots in ME3 are probably the most satisfying I have experienced this generation since Gears of War. For people who are concerned about the auto dialogue, don't be. There aren't a lot of options dialogue-wise until you get to the third mission or the
which took me about 2 hours to get to. Honestly, the auto dialogue fits nicely in the beginning because they are able to keep a somewhat frantic, desperate pace before getting back to the good, old ME style.
The animation team at Bioware really is the weakest link and Bioware should make it a priority to get their animations up to par in the future. It is really such a mixed bag where some of the facial animations are very subtle and well done (the eyes have been improved quite a bit) and others (general lip animations, the walking/running animation for everyone) look notably worse than ME2. It is distracting at first, but I (unfortunately) have gotten used to.
The art design is fantastic and really plays off all of the emotions and themes of the setting. The second mission of the game is AWESOME both stylistically, musically, and design-wise. It took me about an hour and a half, but it was definitely one of the highlights thus far IMO.
There is SO MUCH fanservice in here. I honestly don't know how new players will be able to pick it up and play because there is not a lot of backstory provided and yet characters, locations, and events from the expanded universe are all present and accounted for.
Minor spoilers concerning ME2 squadmemebers:
Overall, if you could look past the flaws of ME1 and ME2 and enjoy the overall experience (the characters, the universe, the locations), than you are in for a treat. It definitely has some major flaws, but from my brief time with it, it seems like the best of the three games and and good are currently outweighing the bad.

I don't know if anyone else has brought this up, but don't expect to have a whole lot of time with the ME2 squad members. Thus far, none of the older teammates have been part of your squad. They all play an ancillary role.

So, does the retail PC version contain the promised high res textures, or was it all just BS?
