I'm getting really annoyed at EA's pricing policy. They seriously want me to pay 55€ for the digital version of this game on Origin, and then another 10€ for the day 1 DLC to get the complete game. That's just not in the cards. (That's $86 for the bog-standard digital version of a PC game)

I'm pretty sure BioWare won't release it, after they were forced to make a statement regarding the day one dlc

Ahh, Mass Effect. One of the series I skipped due to not having a HDTV back then. Really looking forward to playing the first two games whenever I have some spare time. Any tips, stuff I should really pay attention to or important missables?
PS: sorry for asking in this thread, but the other active Mass Effect thread contains spoilers and I'd rather not risk that.

I played ME1 on an SD
It was TERRIBLE, it I couldn't read anything! the map was useless.
But play the game how you wanna. Mass Effect 1 starts weird, you are kind of stuck in an area for a long time but once you get your ship the game really takes off.
Haha I know, that's exactly why I skipped them, the text is borderline unreadable on SDTVs. Bioware RPGs are exceptionally terrible at this.
Sounds good!
Do Virmire last.

Probably, seeing as Korea apparently gets it Monday afternoon (GMT time) and i've got to wait until Thursday because i live in another country. Fuck those staggered releases. Going to wait for someone else to do it first though. :lol

I also looked into it and it should unlock on Monday 5th, 16:00 CET: almost a week earlier than euro release.
No. Toying with EA doesn't seem like the best idea to me. I don't know if it's allowed or not, but they've certainly banned for less than that before.

@ above review:
I know people found the demo graphics to be a bit underwhelming and all, but replaying ME2 does make me more lenient towards ME3 graphics. ME2 was something like running around in a closed coffin, making friends not die on you, who then do die on for you for no reason.
The gamespot stream showed definite improvement on ME2 in graphics, combat, weapons, experience, and other things. It's unclear whether the map from ME1 returns though. He talked about being able to find objectives easy and all (which are displayed directly on the HUD in his play), but he said so while he appeared to be kind of lost, so I'm not sure what to think about that.
Talking about mechanisms isn't spoiler material, right? I'll add tags if required.

They sure didn't care for BF3
If I'm remembering right, President Shepard was one of the more popular custom characters around ME2 launch. The codes that the character generator created made it much, much easier to share.
Aye, same for Kingdom of Amalur.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post it, but this seems a free and working vpn to unlock ME3 on Monday 5th at 15:00 GMT – I'm certain some europlayers will be tempted...
EDIT:
I do confirm the free trial works: the Origin release date check showed 05 March 2012, 15:00.
I have a question, I've been on media blackout for this game, so humor me a lil bit.
Should demo recognize my Shep? one time I put the ME2 then put it back on the HDD, I'm afraid I miggt have fucked up
Nah, the demo doesn't import anything.
thank you, you understood my question altough my writing was awful, lol, this new phone is killing me.
To those asking, I got it at a store in LA which frequently breaks street dates.
Someone asked about character interaction. It is great so far. There are long dialog branches going into the history of a lot of the characters I have interacted with. I am not quite sure I understand the reputation vs renegade vs paragon system yet though.
The levels are a bit more open in combat so far. There was a great fight on a side mission with a room with multiple entrances. The enemies kept flanking around and I had to keep moving to win the fight. The
citadel
Also (possible spoiler about character importing)
it imported my character at the level I was at the end of ME2, so I had 30 something points to spend right away. Every time I get a new character they have a ton of points.
My character is a Solider, and my only complaint is that right now my CD time on my abilities seems really long.

You can change classes when importing an ME2 save, which I think is different from ME1 to ME2.
Here's my main Shepard
That's the way to go.

N7 Hoodie all the way. Or some Alliance thing, I haven't seem them yet, don't really want to, but I'm a huge Alliance fan.
And has anyone else's Amazon CE not shipped yet? I'm getting kind of worried.
Edit; Wait, McFrank, I thought the Soldiers could carry more weapons with less of a CD time? Wasn't that the whole draw of the soldiers? Because if they don't mitigate any weapon weight, then what the hell is the point?

Considering you've told us nothing about WHY you didn't like ME2, that's an unanswerable question.
My Shepherd from ME1:
Shepherd in ME2:
Have they said anything about whether or not ME2 Renegade scars are going to stay on your character in ME3? It would be monumentally stupid if they didn't (or they didn't at least address why they don't).

No. Everything points towards ME3 being an improved version of ME2, mixed with some parts of ME1. If you didnt care for ME2 i certainly wouldnt pay full price for it.

I can't find it anywhere that sells it early. Fucking sucks.
Maybe it's still compressed? File format different?

Of course, all of the reasons you've disclosed about your distaste for ME2 are not present in ME3. Factually guaranteed.
