There are supposed to be time limits in the game? Or did you mean which group has the most missions with time limits?

I got 5 hours into it...and got jack shit accomplished! Wasted a ton of time at the Citadel and the Normandy. I did do a side mission and went to disc 2, so I can see that implementation is pretty weird, but I don't mind swapping discs like other people seem to.
Oh, with Kinect you can say "Quick Save" and it does exactly that. Awesome.

Just started the game. Looks like Anderson and I are having a 'shit our pants' race to the toilet. People weren't kidding about the stupid run animations.

Is it me or do the renegade dialogue choice actually feel well less Bioware/KOTOR douchebag (excluding the funny Dirty Harry types) type and well more realistic. You ask people to do hard things instead of the easy choice, but that's the difference, not being a price. I like it, I find myself picked renegade a lot more since
I feel it helps contributes more resources to the war effort

Animators seem to forget that when you run your feet go in front of each other to some degree, mass effect 3 is one of many games with annoying run animations, I do 3D animations myself >_<

Holy SHIT, been playing for about 6-7 hours straight now. This game, THIS GAME. The overall presentation is damn beautiful. Feels like an absolute perfect mix between ME1 and ME2.
The combat is vastly better than ME2. The writing, the dialogue, goddamn.
I also have no idea where people were saying "autodialogue everywhere". There are a few instances during the first hour or so, but after you get the Normandy, I've been getting 6 option dialogue trees regularly.
Been doing a ton of sidequests, wasting the hours away. Everybody's got a lot to say.

They told me on the phone that they found out at 11:56 Pacific time today that they would not be getting copies for fulfillment. I kindly explained that an email yesterday when they knew they couldn't hit the promised delivery would have been the right thing to do.
I have to control my self and wait till friday to play it. The games box is calling me to play it. I believe it has indoctrination effects.

I'm planning on picking up this game tomorrow and I was wondering if I should start the game on Insanity. How difficult is Insanity in this game?
Well, thanks for the heads up about the face imports. I got a pair of fresh Mass Effect 3 facecodes ready to go for my two ME1 Shepards now.
I did it the brute force way, though. Re-imported the Shepards into ME2, then used that to make a custom face that looked like the import, with a few fixes as I have had bad luck with getting my Shepards hit with the ugly stick when importing to ME2. The I copied the facecode into the ME3 demo and sure enough, revenge of the ugly stick and/or mismatched features. But a shave, haircut, and cheekbone surgery later and my MaleShep was looking good again, and my FemShep grew out some hair, and had her cheeks filled in a bit and she was back to her ME1 self, only with better graphics.
So, you know? This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me. Even if the faces DO import, I'll probably use the codes I made instead.
I'd actually recommend doing this if you have your ME1 saves and ME2 handy. You'll have to play through the opening of ME2 to get to the face creator, but it's a good thing that ME2 has a great opening, then.
Now I just await the release of ME3 here. I am still pretty spoiler free, I even turned off the demo as soon as the opening cutscenes were over. I do not want to know more.

I love this universe so much.
The best parts of modern sci-fi with lots of motifs from Star Wars and Star Trek. A great trilogy of films would easily help make me forget that the SW prequels ever existed.
Mah fuckin' waifu.
She looks fucking awesome. Good fucking bye Liara.

I've been on ME3 media blackout for awhile now. But I am so pissed they couldn't import my Shep's face. What the hell??
Damnit man. What the hell.
Damnit man. What the hell.
Arrrghhh! I keep missing my damn paragon/renegade triggers because they moved them from L2/R2 to L1/R1. Why did you do that Bioware! Plus it still doesn't show my CE registered at Bioware social site so I still can't download the soundtrack, feel like Deus Ex augmented soundtrack fiasco all over again. Guess I will just have to get it another way.
Except those annoyances loving it so far. Do love the mods and more rpg elements customization. The cover system seems a bit flaky. I just beat insanity in ME2 then did quick ASH romance run through last two days on normal but picking up this game default seems harder then normal in ME2 to me. Not quite Insanity level but if this is normal I don't think i'm doing insanity run in ME3. Goddamn Guardians and I keep running out of ammo, that like never happened to me in ME2, not even on insanity and I keep dying. Bastards keep throwing one shot kill grenades at me.

Out of curiosity, if Shepard died at the end of ME2, how does that play out when you start ME3?
Also, for the PC, do you have to have a completed ME2 save or will it pick up any save you have regardless of where you are at in teh game (me2)? I beat ME1 and ME2 on 360 and since got a new 360, but decided to go PC for ME3...so I have no ME2 save and spent 2 days playing ME2 on PC, but am only about 1/2 way through the game.

Question: I played ME1 and 2 on the PC, but for 3 i'm thinking of getting the PS3 version (big screen). Is the framerate tolerable? How much will I miss the 60fps? Thanks.
Hawk269
Member
IMHO..You will miss it alot. Going from 360/Ps3 inconistent 30fps to rock solid 60fps at a true 1080p cant be beat.
Why dont you hook up your PC to your big screen? It was the best thing I have done. Got a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse and now I do all my PC gaming on my 55"HDTV.
Tolerable. Not perfect but tolerable.
It doesn't. Only ME2 saves where Shepard has survived the suicide mission can be used to import in ME3.
Select from ability wheel. I bound my grenades to L2 to feel familiar and follow usual ps3 shooter conventions.

it's an ability like Adrenaline Rush or Cryo bullets.
On PC it's either a number button (that you have assigned) or aim, shift, click, boom.

well looks like i have 2 options...stick with my CE order from amazon which will be here on the 20th, but a regular edition and then trade that in when my CE comes in and accept the $35 loss, or just buy a regular edition and forget about the CE
this whole thing is crazy, the last time i ever had any issues with anything like this was the Halo 2 launch and that was 7 years ago

I've heard people say the framerate is atrocious and others insist it's not a big deal. I guess it comes down to how much these things bother you in general. At any rate, it only seems to affect the cutscenes. The game plays great on PS3.

So.
After live-calling tech support back like they told me, they now tell me that they will e-mail me sometime tonight or tomorrow with an update on my case. So, hopefully by tomorrow I can save my game again.

I installed the game and yet the disk is still spinning. What the fuck is this shit? The only reason I install games on 360 is to avoid the jet engine.

Depends on how bad you want the goodies in the CE. I mean, you get the $10.00 DLC, so for only $10.00 more you get the patch, book, nice case and little DLC things. But if you have no need for the $10.00 DLC, I say just get the regular game and call it a day.
