Just read the stories on Rock Paper Shotgun, IGN, and Kotaku on Bioware's money grab tactics for this game, including forcing people to experience a shitty single player ending unless they grind multiplayer or spend money.

WTF Bioware?

It's funny because it's not true.

So...when do I get Ashley back on my team?

RPS mentioned that you can achieve the same thing with just scanning/exploring the galaxy map. So who to believe.

immediately from the start. She and vega are the first members

Tech support just asked me if I'm saving the game as Save or Save As.

Your avatar quote is indeed the perfect answer to this situation

Have they put Dietz in charge of tech support too?

Confirmation bias, what else?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Awesome.

I'm best bet is to get a supervisor. Right now we're trying to disable Cloud Synch and see if that is the reason my fucking save files keep self-deleting.

 

[Skilotonn]

Where're you at? I'm hoping Game Mania gives me the good stuff tomorrow.

Oh, sorry for the late response - it's Rotterdam.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Standard Shep is best Shep. You know this to be true.
I'm 4 hours in right now, and it's pretty good, but some of the 10/10 reviews are way overblown. It's just another one of these games. Which is great.

Who knows, maybe the rest of the game will get crazy and blow me away. I'm excited to keep playing, that's for sure.

WHY


And this stupid Save editor website is broken again. Ugh. Guess i'll just make the face myself instead of relying on some crap like that.

Did you read the directions? Stuff like hair, hair color, brows, etc. won't get transferred over via that method. But those are all details you can easily switch on your own.

She/(Kaidan) gets injured early on and is stuck in the hospital for me

Yay amazon, now I gotta finish this paper and we are golden!

Started the game level 30. Life is good...and so is that music. Gonna try to savor this one as long as possible.

At least three others have the same problem as me. What is this?

You get her back in a bit. Not going to really go too into it to avoid bigger spoilers

So... From Ashes DLC, worth it? Coughing up 10 bucks is so lame when I already paid for the damn game, but I want that squad member, heh. Unless he sucks, which seems impossible.

 

[Megasoum]

I love the new loadout system but I wish there was a firering range on the Normandy. It's so usefull on the Citadel to be able to test out your different weapons.

It's pretty short but contains a lot of good story bits and clarifications. Your call though. Maybe wait for it to go on sale?

 

[Previous]

So uh.. how exactly do I change the graphic settings? all the character models look low res for me. (PC version duh, all I see in the option menu are the screen resolution/AA/lighting.

 

[Zeliard]

Eh I think I'll just go for it. Game's enjoyable enough so far and I do want to use that squad member for pretty much the entirety of it, so I might as well. I doubt it'll go on sale any time soon, anyway.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

They just disconnected me.

I paid $80 for this fucking game.

What's your problem?

Save files won't be created, and I've modded the GamerSetting.ini's save path.

Saves actively get deleted from the Save folder.

Got to the Turian planet. Liking it so far.

damn, ups tried to deliver during the 15 minutes my wife was waiting at the bustop for our daughter. ups packages have NEVER arrived at our house before 4pm, and the one time they do, they come during the only 15 minute slot that my wife wasn't home.

 

[tass0]

Holy shit, why are the user reviews on Metacritic so low for this game? I'm seeing it get a shitload of zeros.

Is there some sort of backlash against something in the game that I don't know about?

I'm 4 hours into the game, and it's fucking amazing.

Feels like a mixture of Mass Effect 1, and Mass Effect 2, which is perfect.

 

[Dmax3901]

Australia here, I can't tell you how painful this wait is.

Comes out tomorrow, 24 hours away. 24! Unless they break the street date...

If RPS said it then I would take it as gospel. RPS is the best games media place in the industry.

Besides I thought we cleared this issue a long time ago, like when MP was revealed. They made it clear you can get the best ending by never touching MP but MP is there to help people who may not otherwise try to get 100% in SP.

I don't know I've been consistently impressed and hooked from the minute I left the introduction (aka demo area). Combat is fast, tight and entertaining and the story has been solid and has so far done a great job conveying the desperation and hopelessness of the situation.

Shit I want to give the game a 10/10 just for the (somewhat early location spoiler)

No thanks. I have no desire to play as a white male model.

Indian Shepherd is the best, because I identify with him. I'm not going to play as some white dude I have no connection with.

perhaps some other website has staged a campaign to defame the game? a ~6point gap between user and critic reviews just smells fishy

The preorder bonus came about twenty hours before the ten dollar promo did, for me.

I got my code this morning before my copy even arrived. Email them.

Yep, is meant to be sarcastic, guess it did not came through
I'll do a little bit of both probably.

That's not the reason (for the most part)... people just love to hate on the game.

well I really had idea what the DLC was about in first place in an effort to minimize spoilers. really disappointing that they wouldn't include that in the actual game.

 

[Dresden]

Oh man. Accidentally clicked the spoiler thread. Read like one half of the first line of the latest page before I realized what I'd done.

Oh man.

I think I can purge this from my memory.

Where do I go? I have never had this problem before.

Just get on livechat with a customer service rep.

It's important to the overall ME lore and universe. Whether or not it's really important to the actual ME3 storyline I don't know yet, I'm not far enough to make that judgement. But if you're in this series for the story and universe it's pretty big.

The actual mission is just a typical mission, it's fun to play though. The importance is all in the lore.

 

[Dany]

From Ashes isn't in the CE box? I haven't gotten an email yet...hmmm..

 

[Jin]

well I really had idea what the DLC was about in first place in an effort to minimize spoilers. really disappointing that they wouldn't include that in the actual game.

Having just complete the DLC I have to say it should've been in the game in the first place. I find the lore pretty important for anyone who's even slightly interested in the story.

From Ashes isn't in the CE box? I haven't gotten an email yet...hmmm..

It came with my Digital version from Amazon.

 

[derFeef]

From Ashes isn't in the CE box? I haven't gotten an email yet...hmmm..

It is.

edit: to clarify
My PC version has it in the box. Same code as for the OST and "bonus materials"

Modern gaming must be incredibly disappointing for you.

 

[kitzkozan]

With regards to the metacritic user score, It couldn't be 4chan trolling Bioware again? Right?

This kinda suck, couldn't get my hands on a CE. Will keep checking to see if there's somewhere I could find a copy otherwise it's the standard edition. XD

 

[Alucrid]

Why the fuck did the package from Amazon require a signature? Never ever happened before, they always just slide the goddamn game through the mail slot.
