It's also sorta confirmed that Mac and Casey were talking to each other about the end from The Final Hours. Mac says that he and Casey decided against answering questions related to the Reapers because they wanted a high-level conversation. Obviously, they were both full of hot air.
I thought that was only for CE.
About as lame as the hoodie that no one wore in-game because the leather jacket/jeans combo was in the default game.
I don't normally get day 1 DLC but I bought this one on a whim and don't regret it. Then again I love the game, so I'm automatically in the minority.

Don't forget the hoodie.
Perfect.

Well I just finished another ME2 playthrough, and just started playing ME3 again with the newly imported Shepard... and fuck, I think I would rather replay ME2 again. The buildup and execution of the ending is vastly more satisfying than ME3.

Mass Effect 3 is actually the greatest
love triangle
The ending of the trilogy aside, I don't think I can go back to the loooooong cooldowns of the second game. Or the lack of rolls.

I respect the fact they tried. But it's too bad they didn't decide to finish the ending (writing + some productization, maybe voice acting and some graphical work), present it to at least the writers team, let it sink for a bit, and ask for feedback. If they were going to go with that kind of bizarro ending, they needed to make sure they were doing it with touch, as firehawk said above.
Casey especially strikes me as a 'visioneer' kind of guy, creative people who generate lot of very good and very bad ideas, and somehow lack the perspective to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Agreed. Hold the line.

Actually I rolled a soldier for the first time ever, so cooldowns weren't really an issue. Gameplay wise it didn't feel all that different to ME3.
Well, the hoodie was at least functional in that Shephard could wear it. The dog ...

Yeah, what's a cooldown? I was a soldier the entire trilogy, all playthroughs (1 and 2 twice, 3 once). Never ordered my teammates to even use their own powers, really, except when the stupid game basically made me do it just to teach me how.

Lol, my soldier in 3 has much longer cool downs than in 2. I have Fortification as my bonus power, and I'm carrying the Revenant, Black Widow, Graal, Tempest, and Scorpion. I already had like -150% recharge with just the Black Widow and Revenant, so I decided to go all-out.
It sucks that femshep doesn't havea sweet leather jacket. That hoodie though, too casual for a commander.

I kept expecting the dog would eventually become a war asset. It looked somewhat cool in a goofy kind of way, but it sucked there was zero interaction with it. I at least wanted to play fetch, or teach it to bite james or something.

Yeah, what's up with not even being ale to interact with it? Bull
Don't use your squadmate's powers? You're making it much harder lol

Also, Inferno Grenades in ME2 >>>>> ME3 grenades
I would have worn an N7 snuggie if that was available. Galaxy is about to end; time to get comfortable.

Cluster Grenades when aimed right can do crazy damage/cc, plus it detonates biotc explosions.

It wasn't exactly hard. I just play normal.
Actually, what was hard was that it never struck me until the very end of Earth when I was getting swarmed by brutes and banshees to even use my non-disruptor ammo powers. Who knew Incendiary would burn right through those beasts? Eh, live and learn.
I expected much the same on Tuchanka with the varren in Mass Effect 2.
It would have been amusing to see Shephard's menagerie hanging out in his cabin: fish, the space hamster, the varren, the robo dog.
Go play through ME1 again and the cooldowns and lack of rolls are nothing!
I miss my explosive spectre sniper rifle so much.

pretty sure ti would have ended with all being dead but one (probably the robodog or the varren).

The drunk sniper aiming is the best.
Haha! Fuck. That.

I wore the in-game hoodie. My Shepard was not going to wear skinny jeans..
Now the dog on the other hand. Absolutely useless. You couldn't interact with it in any way, and you barely see it. Would have made more sense to be in the captains cabin. Who would go down to the 5th floor? It's just Vega and Cortez. Oh yeah..I'm so anxious to go down and talk to them

Oh man, this is awesome. Looks like there are a lot of ME fans across the industry who were equally disappointed with the ending.
OMG, ballsy lol.

Just beat it. They fucking color coded the "choose your own ending"? I mean why do things have to be so black and white, can't they have chosen one universal ending and just stuck with it?
destroyed
and yeah the robo-dog is probably the worst CE bonus in existance. at least the hoodie looks okay.

I love Blizzard
Tell me about it. Finishing up a 5th playthrough at the moment of ME2 for a ME3 import, and well, I highly doubt I'll go through ME3 as many times.
