Yeah, I wouldn't expect any real posts for like a week.

  1. Argh! I'm so frustrated that Australia has an arbitrarily later release date than North America. I'm all pre-downloaded and ready to go, just waiting for 11:00pm on Thursday.

  2. Oh man, that sucks. I really don't know why they just didn't do a simultaneous world-wide release.

  3. Am I the only one who thinks that ME3 is just a bad third person shooter with (maybe) a good story and (some) RPG elements in it? Only played the demo and I didnt like it.

  5. "just waiting for 11:00pm on Thursday."

    Change your clock to a different timezone and off you go. Worked in CoD at least.

  6. @Anon: It probably will be a bad first-person shooter again, like the first two incarnations. But the way I see it, you don't play the game for the mediocre gameplay. It's more a well-made interactive movie with some RPG elements.

  7. You know what I find ironic about the timing of this release? It's almost as if EA/Bioware is competing with itself. How many people are going to "drop" SW:TOR for ME3? And they ARE in competition. They are more similar than they are opposed. SW:TOR is the most single-player focused MMO probably ever, and ME3 is the most multi-player friendly version of the game ever, pushing them both into a similar "gray area" between SPRPG and MMORPG. And they both are attractive to the same basic demographic, people who love Bioware games and their storyteling.

    Me thinks it may get a little "quiet" in the galaxy far, far away for the next few weeks.

  8. I was REALLY looking forward to a great RPG but 2 hours in and locked in an invisible arena with a mini boss I realise what I've actually got is a game that's hard to control for shooting and has boss battles.

    Seriously, I didn't expect this shit in a RPG. It's about time developers really understood that yes, ok, shooting a few mobs is ok but not everyone wants boss battles in the middle of their lets-think-about-choices RPGs!

    What a crock of shit.
