After paying for the whole dlc stuff my wallet would be empty too. The irony... no money left to buy the wallet. ;D

 

[MBison]

Looks like its already OOS again? Ugh

How many CEs do you think best buy gets?

Yoohoo boys

Look what is back in stock:

http://amzn.com/B0050SYZS0

Out of stock again. Here's what Amazon says the reason is:

Due to high demand (and possibly the imminent Reaper invasion), we have unfortunately run out of our pre-order allocation for Mass Effect 3 - Collector's Edition. We are looking to secure additional allocation from the publisher and will update this page if that occurs. Please note -- if you have already pre-ordered this edition -- do not cancel as you may not be able to re-order.

Playing with friends in the demo is a real fucking piss-off. If we try and create a game, it takes on average 10-20 minutes to fill up a room. If we try and search for games and then send invites, for whatever fucking reason, it gives priority to people in solo matchmaking. In the end, it takes FOREVER to find a game.
If there's anyone from Bioware here, put a fucking matchmaking system in. Good lord. It's 2012 already.

Paid DLC...

Went all out with the swag; 360 CE, the Art book and awesome Normandy model Definitely on par with my Halo loving. I wish they had behind the scenes content though, I eat all that stuff up!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I booted up ME2 and noticed CDN was back up. I almost forgot it was going to run again for a while.

Not enough to warrant considering a midnight launch unfortunately. Here's to hoping it being a tuesday morning is enough to deter there being enough people to form a crazy line.

Have we heard anything about the SP length?

Is it shorter but with a MP addition; about the same as ME2, better, longer... ?

 

[Kem0sabe]

I wouldn't trust advertised SP length, as it´s usually a gross overestimation. Take Kingdoms of Amalur for example, they advertised upwards of 200 hours to complete all the content, i completed almost all of it at 45 hours.

For ME3, if its anything like the previous games, i would wager around 20-30 hours to do everything.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

And that's fine by me!

I reject the idea that every game has to be a 100 hour + time sink like Skyrim (as glorious as Skyrim is). Long as the campaign isn't CoD length, I'll generally be happy.

20 Hours of Main Quest, around 40 Hours of Sidequests + additional DLC

Yeah, im not that big of a fan of huge games. The concept of having all that content is exciting but in the end... i end up bored and with little time or inclination to play and reach the stories conclusion.

30 hours is the magic mark for an rpg (for me at least).

 

[Skilotonn]

Haven't been posting much lately since I've been in a chill-mode, but great OP, aside from all the unnecessary jokes that is.

Either way, this reminds me yet again that I STILL have to finish off this extra playthrough of mine, that I've been putting off so much, and sometimes when I finally DO get online, I jump straight into the ME3 demo to try yet again to get a Widow, Carnifex or Revenant (Revenant, not so much) as these have been the last things I've been needing for the longest of time now.

Screw it, I'm free today, I'm going to just put ME2 in right now.

HAHAHAAH i know how you feel.... damn multiplayer is killing me

 

[Ajacx]

I can stop whenever I want.

Sure you can.

 

[Jake Tower]

Have there been any speculated new alien races to have sex with? I need to read some forum posts with my internal 'Shawn Elliot' voice.

 

[scar tissue]

Is the femshep animation still as hilariously bad as in the infamous video/gif?
If so, I'm definitely going male shepard.

Play.com have it up for preorder right now

Edit: up on Shopto as well.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

I don't see it on Amazon.co.uk yet. I'd rather get it there, if possible.

it's on Zavvi, too BTW, http://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?searchFilters=&search=mass+effect+3+collector's+edition

 

[Johnjamin]

ok didn't like that tired to link to shopto....

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

ShopTo is banned But that seems like a good price.

Oh what I'd give to hear Ralphie talk about his Tali romance.

I miss Shawn Elliot.

how come?

or should i just read the rules?

 

[Plasma]

Thanks for the heads up I just cancelled my Gamestation order and changed it over to ShopTo, even saved a fiver.

On the topic of the game I still have a male paragon run and a female renegade run that I need to complete before ME3 comes out but it looks like I won't finish in time. Oh well I already have a male neutral, male renegade and female paragon to load into ME3.

 

[shinobi602]

I think this is this most disturbing picture Ive seen on the internet.

Huh?

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

how come?

Some credit cards numbers were leaked and ShopTo was blamed, but that was years ago. I think most people agree they're safe enough now.

 

[shinobi602]

Well boysss, 6 days now....SIX DAYS AWWWW SHEEEET.

ah ok thanks for the info.

back on topic: ridiculously excited now though, i've even cataloged my save games on my phone, so i know what i've done in each one.

safe to say i'm a bit obsessed with this series.

 

[Arjen]

Well boysss, 6 days now....SIX DAYS AWWWW SHEEEET.

I hate you Americans for getting it early

 

[Bisnic]

Well, from the mouth of the guy that played the Space Edition and leaked the info discussed in BSN, the game is an amazing ride and the ending is absolutely beautiful. BSN being BSN and all that.

New footage from X-Play, featuring Palaven:
http://www.g4tv.com/videos/57518/mass-effect-3-x-play-palaven-exclusive/?quality=hd

That was a nice footage of something that isn't Earth(finally). Looking good.

That (non-existent) facial animation when Vega said "Holy hell!" was disappointing though.

You guys just get it late.

At least i'm getting my artbook today, here's hoping i can resist looking at the ME3 chapters

 

[Melchiah]

Playing the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo gives you access to the Reckoner Knight armor. Completing said demo also delivers the Chakram Launcher assault rifle into your greedy hands.

WTF!? I had no idea. I better play the demo, which I've already downloaded weeks ago, before ME3 is released then. I take it, this applies to every region, EU included?

Shit this comes out on the 6th? For some reason it kind of snuck up on me.

I haven't been following details of the game, really. Just wondered if it had been revealed.

 

[MikeE21286]

Man, this game needs to hurry up. I'm almost actually more excited about the MP than the SP. I keep playing it even though I know it's a fruitless endeavor...

I've already put more time in this MP (not saying ALL that much) than any MP in recent memory.

 

[shinobi602]

I haven't been following details of the game, really. Just wondered if it had been revealed.

Nah, Bioware said they won't say yes or no. We'll have to play it ourselves and find out.

 

[Trick_GSF]

Nah, Bioware said they won't say yes or no. We'll have to play it ourselves and find out.

Okay, cheers for letting me know. I would've searched myself, but am terrified of spoilers.

[Drewfonse]

Does anyone know if the Vanguard class can use assault rifles in ME3? Are there arbitrary restrictions on which classes can use which weapons, like in ME2?

 

[Minion101]

Quick question:

Is it possible to see Tali's face in ME:3?

Not sure if it's in the game but you might want to take a look at the tali page in the art book.

 

[aloeh]

So Tali's face is revealed?

Must not search.

Quick question:

Yes, and there's an achievement for skullfucking her.

 

[ashbash159]

Yes. Managed I get the collectors edition from ShopTo.
