I think what I don't like about the character designs is something that's been apparent in lots of games with heavy detail - seeing all the moles and blemishes and dimples on the characters, it's just a bit too much detail for me personally - I prefer stylized looking characters mainly - The Witcher games were like some of the only western RPGs which I felt had attractive characters for some reason (possibly due to general attractiveness of Polish women?). I also think that the skin looks very weird in certain lighting conditions in ME3.

I'm not sure how this works out for Aussies with all the regional pricing differences, but GreenManGaming is offering a 20% discount until Sunday if you use this voucher: TAKEE-ARTHB-ACK20
Don't think it's discounted anywhere else.
Is it just me or is anyone else having difficulty actually getting to play ME3? I'm stuck on trying to communicate to the EA servers! Not the best start to the game I have to admit.
On PS3 BTW.
it takes me like 2-3 sec to get out of that screen

Respawning enemies? I didn't notice that.
As for turrets you should have picked Infiltrator, or use someone who has the Sabotage ability

I am an Infiltrator.
The respawning enemies are in a place where I guess I was just supposed to make a run for it instead of TRYING TO KILL EVERY SINGLE ENEMY LIKE THE REAL MAN GAMER I AM.

Or just get Garrus to overload turrets.

GUNN!
I should have checked there :/ derrr!
Might grab this and Syndicate
Be warned, Syndicate multiplayer is fucking empty. No one is playing on PC anymore.

Some of the N7 missions have respawning enemies.
Adds tension. ME2 planet scanning was boring as hell.
I did like being able to land on some planets with detected anomalies though. That's a bit lacking in ME3.

Ah thanks. That's unfortunate to hear. Does the game support multi-player bots? I was really only going to get it for the single player mostly anyway... I might wait for that one though.
Best price I've found that is available to me is $50, however I can't seem to find better. I think that's pretty good but not perfect.
Yes. I hate the new system.
Does it make a difference where I scan in a system? Should I be close to planets?
I'm more annoyed that the planet scanner is MUCH slower to move than in ME2. Even without Miranda's bonus for faster scanner, the default one was still faster than in ME3.
At least scanning rarely needs to be done.

No it doesn't, nor does it scale to 1 player. It's unfortunate. The multi is really fun, but ME3 really overshadowed it.
To each their own, I guess. While far from exciting, I just enjoyed the downtime planet scanning provided. This is just annoying, lol.

Biotic Charge + armor piercing ammo makes turret a fucking joke.
I have only done it a few times so far, but that is what I have been doing. I am going to avoid this as much as I can, though. Fucking awful addition.

I like the concept behind planet scanning. The addition of Reaper chases was nice. But like most things BioWare the whole thing is undercooked. Even though I love ME3's side quests, I miss discovering them on my own by exploring the galaxy. ME3 has literally none of that.
ME2 scanning was just work. It was boring and repetitive.
At least this new scanning is quick.

I don't think I'll have time to play until Monday. ME3's awful ending will have to wait.
I have a question about the art book that comes with the CE if anyone knows.
Is that book the same as the ME3 section in the "Art of Mass Effect 3 universe"?
I actually bought the CE so my gf can have the art book, but she already bought the bigger book. If the me3 sections would be redundant, i might just sell the ce and get the regular edition.

Yes, it is quick, but I just hate being rushed by this reaper pac-man mechanic. I would rather have the downtime of just being able to take my time, scan, read about the planets and move on. But that is just me.

Yeah I was doing that on some of the N7 missions until I realized they wouldn't stop spawning.
Near your ship
She's at the dock near the Normandy.
Thanks.
I'm about 5 hours in and really enjoying the combat. Headshotting engineers before they can set up turrets is so satisfying. So far I am pleased with the amount of stuff that you find during missions, with the weapons loadout setup, and being able to upgrade individual weapons. So far, gameplay wise, it's a lot of fun.
Not much to say about the story, though admittedly I've set the bar pretty low following the info of the last 6 months.

Oh balls. *puts popcorn away*
Hint: When you're at a location, click your left or right stick, bring up your map, and then use the bumpers to move through the maps, you can see people's locations listed in each district. This works best on the Citadel.

So far I have only been chased around in 2 clusters... maybe you just need to stop abusing the scanning?

It's weird that as ME has gone on as a series, there's been less and less exploration. There aren't even hubs on the individual planets to talk to people. It's just the Citadel, the Normandy, and then SHOOT FUN MISSION TIME on planets.
Which I guess makes sense for the tone of the game but...I like talking to peeps

What happens if the reaper ships hit you? game over?
The game has so many bugs/glitches. I've gotten that audio problem too.
The Sirta store (hospital gift shop) is always out of stock, even though I've never bought anything, other than viewing it that very first time.
