Not sure if you guys know or not, but massive spoiler footage floating around the web.
Going on a massive ME3 media black out, N7 style from this post onwards.

33 hours and eight minutes for the West Coast Origin users.
And once again, anyone going to the L.A. launch?

Ending footage being labeled as ME3 trailers and such. People talking about it everywhere. I'd unplug your modem lol.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
At this point, though, is the ending a spoiler at all? I think we all know vaguely what's going to happen.
A lot of early impressions say that the ending is ballsy, so probably not.
Yeah, I've only played the demo, haven't watched the launch trailers or any other media. I did get "spoiled" of the DLC character but it's pretty hard to hear about DLC like that and not see what the content entails.
Yes, because the voice of dissonance is the "proper voice of reason."
We all probably know the general direction the game is heading in, but the specifics are what are spoiler territory.

This isn't a spoiler, but I'm putting it in a spoiler tag anyway.
It's my opinion on the endings I've seen.
I've seen two (maybe the only?) endings, and they're terrible. I hate Bioware more than I ever have before.

It absolutely is.
If anyone has any desire to avoid spoilers, I'd say get the fuck off the internet from now until you finish the game. I would not be surprised if there are a few account suicides/videos of spoiler drive bys at midnight launches etc.
Basically, if you don't want to get spoiled you should have bailed already. Otherwise you're running a dangerous gauntlet.

And you were the dude properly and correctly hating on Mac Walters with me. I'm surprised at you, man. Hey, if elitism is wanting people to have the deepest richest experience possible (in a Bioware game, right? I know... I know) then... I suppose I'm a proud elitist. My apologies if higher standards offend anyone out there's everyone-is-entitled-to-their-own-choice sentiments.
I choose you, Empty Cliche! And you too, Shallow Bombast! Together we shall conquer the games market!
Wait...everyone already beat us to it. Damn.
The sarcasm aside, I'm going to enjoy ME3 for every bit of empty-sci-fi-cliche-shootery-bombast I can wring from it. But I'm going to be scoffing and laughing every few lines of dialogue, just like I did in the demo. And I'm never going to pretend even for a minute that it and its audience somehow couldn't and shouldn't be held to a higher standard. But hey, things gots ta follow dat money yo.

Quoted for truth, get the fuck off of gaming websites. I suggest now.

At this point there is no narrative low that Bioware could hit that would surprise me. But then I am an elitist.
Hell, I'm getting more ironic enjoyment out of this franchise now than actual, genuine enjoyment. Might as well just roll with it!
I'm confused. Will lava spray out of it at me or something?

.... keep digging that hole, buddy.
If you really, actually do think that your opinion is the right one, and other people simply have the wrong one, and are not just being a gigantic troll.....
Yeah.
(I know it's futile asking this, but why do you think other people choosing an in-game feature is so wrong?)
I wonder how much of it is hyperbole. Ending reactions seem to be love it or hate it deal so far from what I've seen.
Sorry for even discussing the ending. I haven't seen it and I don't plan to until I beat the game. Watching the ending with no basis to go on seems a bit silly though.

Lmao, what, did you expect to see Garrus or any other partner dying on the fucking demo?
Endings to a trilogy always ruffle feathers. Fun times ahoy!

Dude, first of all, you edited. Twice. And second, my opinion is just that everyone should dive as deep as they can and engage with everything available to them. I totally get that not everyone wants that level of experience and I just think that's quite a lamentable reality of the games market. That's it. I don't see what's so controversial about that.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
You're welcome to express your opinion. You're not welcome to belittle and condescend people who don't share it.

The video floating around is not even the full ending, just two specific conversations with no proper basis. Meh, to each his own.
Holy fuck.
Well apparently that conversation is enough for people to wait until the game is $5 and hate Bioware over it /shrug.

What does that have to do with what we're talking about? I edited because I had things to add.
You said it was sad and implied that it was somehow wrong of them to be willingly doing Action Mode. You can try to hide behind "I just want them to experience it" all you want, but at the end of the day, you're judging people for playing a game the way they want to play it.

I feel that way about both those games. The change in feel between those two games is unfortunate I didn't feel I was seeing a new world in ME2 like I was in ME1, but that might just be the nature of it being a sequel and me going into the first game cold. Having not seen any media and only picking it up because I wanted to see what the big deal with Bioware was having never played one of their games before. Its the first game that I realized what a western RPG was and actually never played one before it besides Fable 1.
I've noticed the complaint about how the demo lacked any sense of importance or anything. I guess people didn't realize or just don't know that the demo areas are very truncated versions of those actual sequences. A lot more is going on in the actual game. I will admit that some of the dialogue was kind goofy, but people tend to forget that in both the previous games there was some dumb dialogue. ME 1 being the bigger offender of the two IMO.

I should have used my Amazon $10 credit for Darkspore.
I bought Gangstas in Space.
Holy shit, was that a mistake.

From what i've read of the endings i like it. Its pretty ballsy from Bioware.
I just saw a bunch of horror stories about SWtOR CE pre-orders that were placed through Origin a few months back, and now that "Order in Process" status for my 360 ME3 CE ain't instillin' much confidence in me anymore...
Guys, be honest with me... Should I be worried? ._.
Well, more worried than I already am.

Did you pre-order from Amazon or Origin? Because I've had Amazon orders say not yet shipped till the thing actually got to my house before.
I'm still not entirely clear about what people have an issue with talking about the feel of the ending pretty much every post has been the same thing about it that its controversial. Almost everything about Bioware has been controversial on this forum since forever. Stating that the ending to the game is the same should not be a revelation to anybody.

Its not like that. Its just.. Random.
4 disc swaps in first 10 hours.
None so far in hours 10-20.
I don't see why people even act like anyone right now gives half a shit about their quick personal thoughts on the ending. Even seeing something about how it evokes an emotion, whether sad or happy, paints a picture I don't want to know. It has no place in this thread right now.
Origin.

I'm about to pre-order the Digital Deluxe edition via Origin but I was wondering if the confusion about whether or not the From Ashes DLC was included with it had been resolved. I saw it mentioned earlier and while it appears there are a number of relevant topics on the Bioware forums but they seem to be down for maintenance.

It is included.

Thanks for the confirmation. Pre-order complete. Now, the waiting game.
Was it part of the preload or will we have to DL it day one?
Part of preload bundle but separate download.
