But what about The Witcher 2?!

Or you could just make your own decision whether or not you like the ending. People have different tastes man. I've actually seen people in this thread who said they hated ME2 and it's ending, but I personally think ME2 is one of the top 10 greatest games of all time, and really enjoyed the ending. Hivemindedness(new word) is a terrible state of being.
Waiting for version 2.0

Right.
Unless they add DLC that gives you another 1000 points or I fucked up my playthrough badly, you can't get the "best" ending despite what BioWare says. You can't even get the "Master and Commander" achievement.
I dunno, someone let me know if you can get 8000 points in the single player. I did almost everything and only ended up with 7006.

Goddammit, now I can't hand in those Cerberus Cyphers for that fetch sidequest either.
Patch your fucking game, BioWare.
EDIT: Okay, I fixed it, but now I'm still stuck with Barla Von having disappeared.
The quest at leasts counts as completed, though. I'm stuck with that Eden Prime one.

Just beat the game and loved it. Except for the ending.
Ending Spoiler:
Its a damn shame, because up until they very end, the game is one of Bioware's best, at least with story, world, and character.
EDIT: Also Dennis, wait until the last quarter of the game. Screenshots there make the first 3/4s look primitive.
Note: That's not much of a spoiler, but I spoilered it anyways.
Ending Spoiler:
The choices were interesting in theory. But given the story they had developed, they were very pedestrian and felt non-specific to the story of Shepard. I hated all three of them. Plus the whole thing with the Normandy at the end is head-scratching.

Man I can almost feel the hair growing on my chest as I play the Vanguard.
Agreed. The game blew away my expectations with the exception of the ending, which somehow managed to be far worse than anything I could have possibly imagined.

Umm. I'll just say you should check the spoiler thread if you've finished the game.
And again, I only got the "full readiness" achievement after I passed 4000 by playing multiplayer.
It was bad, but not bad enough to make me hate the game or the franchise or anything silly like that. Just, VERY unsatisfying.
I'm actually really liking Mass Effect Infiltrator for those who care. The game is pretty fast-paced and it an arcadey take on the combat, awarding more points for using different combos and stringing together kills with certain weapons. You can upload intel to boost your battle readiness in ME3.
If you're looking to scratch that Mass Effect itch on the go, it's not bad by any means.
I'm honestly shocked that I have enjoyed it.
When I play for 5-10 minutes I love it.
The two times I've played longer something clicks and I hate it with a passion.
When it comes to endings (without spoiling them please) does anyone know what the exact EMS numbers are to get each ending? I'd check gamefaqs but I'm scared to get spoiled.

End of Rannoch spoiler (paragon)
DID THEY SERIOUSLY JUST PULL A FUCKING ME2 WITH TALI'S FACE AGAIN? Fuck you BioWare, fuck. You.
This is why anytime I take someone else on a mission I regret it. Love basically anything they say in missions.

Did From Ashes last night and what an awesome moment from a lore perspective.
Some people complained about the accent and I was among them, but then something dawned on me now that I've actually heard the voice:
Same boat. Preordered the game over a year ago, played until the first city and haven't picked the game up yet. Will eventually though.

People are saying his accent is Jamaican, but that's wrong. It's very Afrikan. Which makes sense: he's from a time when our people were considered primitive. Who knows how much influence the Protheans had on our ancestors 50,000 years ago...in Africa. It actually made me smile to realize that the Protheans likely influenced our first languages.

Can someone post a list of all the characters that can join your squad? I've looked everywhere and can't find one.

I hate the ending, but the ride is really worth it, especially if you also played ME1 and 2. Bioware did so much right in this game that im still flabbergasted by how they fumbled at the end.
Tali, Garrus, Liara, EDI, Javik (DLC character), Vega, Ashley or Kaidan.

For those of you who romanced Tali, is this true?

Is that really her face in the portrait?

Apparently if you GIS her face Bioware did do some slight Photoshop to the picture I posted above. So (for the last time: this is another spoiler if you don't want to know what Tali's face looks like) this is basically what her face looks like without lens flare .
I wonder how many people see the face and go "I DID THAT?!".
Edit: Oh shit, I just realized she looks almost exactly like a picture posted on the Bioware forums around the time of ME2. I remember so many fans liking that face (including myself) that I can see Bioware being like "let's make her look like that...the fans dig that".

I see no problem with
though it is a little bit of a cop-out.
a space elf, why does every race in the galaxy have to be 100% different?

Not bad, but why didn't they just show it in 2?
Same with Turian females. The design doesn't need to be perfect.
I think its just pure laziness. They've had 3 games and countless of artists at their disposal for over 5 years, and the best they can do for Tali is search online, find a random stock image and photoshop it slightly? COME ON!
Mine had metadata.

I'm okay with it. I think they had two choices: do something pretty and piss off one half and do something ugly and piss off the other half. Frankly, you can't really lose with the pretty part.
They didn't want to model a 3D model for just one picture, so I can't blame them. And the Shopping they did made her look a bit like a very popular fan rendition of her face. And in fairness, the stock model looks a lot like Tali's VA. So I'm like "whatever, the Tali fans can win this one".

Question about War Readiness/green bar!
I had to
, can I still get the full green bar even without that race's support.
I had to

Or option c, don't show it all.
Piss almost everyone off by not showing it, but piss no one off at the design.

Wha, really? Where did you get it? iTunes isn't showing album/artist or any numbering for the songs?

If you guys havent given the multiplayer a shot, do it.
Its surprisingly fun and it has a neat collection aspect when it comes to equipment and upgrades.

The collection aspect would be fine if you could buy specific stuff for more money, but you can't, and it's retarded.
I'll still play a ton of it though, just waiting until I finish the game.
Nope, I double checked, and I only missed maybe 20 minutes of dialogue of various little snippets and did every single quest.
Also after the quarian/geth missions the game is basically over, just so you know.

I just finished the quarian/geth missions, what do you mean?
Are there no more sidequests?
Edit; And I'm about 28 hours in, give or take an hour.
