I just started ME3 last night and Anderson is an Admiral again?? In ME1 I asked for him to be Councillor and in ME2 he continued that role. All of a sudden, Udina is now Councillor?? What did I miss?

Also, I've picked the Sentitnel class and have been since ME1 but in ME3 it seems that your powers are limited? For example, I used 'Pull' and after that I have to wait for 'Pull' to cool down but can't use any other powers as well (Shockwave, Charge)??? I remember in ME1 and ME2 I could combo powers together, like 'Shockwave' and then 'Pull'

wei...wei, stay on topic pls . anyway, thanks for the input but I've found out that warp plus throw or other biotic combos work pretty well.

You imported ME2 save game right?
I haven't ventured quite deep in the campaign yet, but since the demo, ME3 can only use one power at a time and all powers will be unavailable until cool down period is over. At least the cool down period is significantly reduced. Wait, you didn't play the demo?

P/S: nice slip up there 

I can't believe that nobody has brought this up.  The fact that despite installing ME3 on the HDD you still have to disk swap every other mission?  I've never complained about having to swap discs but it really does break the immersion when you have to do it this often.

Really hard to recommend the xbox version over the PS/PC versions for this very reason.

pc version having issues with the graphics especially the lighting and ps3 version having choppy framerate.

I can't believe that nobody has brought this up.

I've not played far, maybe 4 or 5 missions in, but i really hate having to get up from my sofa, walk 8-10 feet, squat down, press tray eject button, open DVD case, remove disc from tray, insert disc back into dvd case, remove 2nd disc from dvd case, insert 2nd Disc back into DVD tray, press tray close button, stand up, walk back 8-10 feet to sit back on the sofa.  It really breaks the immersion.  Seriously though, after installing both discs onto the HDD, how hard could it have been to just program the game to just authenticate from 1 disk?  For me this is a major game breaker.

Someone please tell me it gets better?

edit: ME1&2 were on PC, but i wanted to game on my couch and earn achievements.

Jarret Lee of Bioware took to the Bioware forums to clarify "The Perfect Ending" and the Galactic Readiness tool in the single player portion of the game.

"I've seen some posts where there is a bit of confusion about the ability to get the "perfect ending" by only playing single-player, because if you don't play multiplayer (or the iOS game, Infiltrator) your Galactic Readiness stays at 50%," said Lee.

You do NOT have to play multiplayer to get the best single-player endings.
Here's a bit of clarification:

Your ending(s) are determined by your "Effective Military Strength" (let's call it EMS for now) bar. Focus on that bar - that is your indicator of how well you will do in the end-game.
You can maximize your EMS just by collecting War Assets in the single-player game. There is a certain threshhold of these you would need to exceed (I can't get too specific) but I can tell you there are MORE than the required amount that can be gathered in the single-player campaign.
"Galactic Readiness" is a modifier you can improve by playing multiplayer. That is to say, if you play a lot of multiplayer, you will need less War Assets from single-player to fill up your EMS bar (ie it will balance out the requirements to account for you playing in both modes).  Single-player game play does not impact that bar.

EMS = success. EMS can be maximized via collecting war assets alone, even if your Galactic Readiness is 50%.

A little help here. What's the most effective way to take out barriers and shields with an Adept? Warp and Singularity work but not fast enough and I don't want to use guns.

actually i m boycotting ME3, so i dont really know how bad was it. from what i heard the x360 is best version

a little unrelated/slowpoke question.

since I never played ME1 and 2 before, I plan to play that two first before playing ME3, since ME3 made me feel like playing ME1, 2 and 3.
but ME1 has platinum hits version and the normal version. i know platinum comes with bonuses, but gameplay and graphics wise it's the same game right?

Bioware made a lot of fans angry with selling DLC on the first day, copy pasting the ending from Deus Ex, photoshopping a generic human photo and made it look like an alien (supposed to be Tali), making it more casual, etc.

Just curious, what is your reason for the boycott?

making it more casual. removing all minigames.
