Whats wrong with Origin? Its just Steam with a different name and games in it.

Yea, EA did pissed me off a few times like how they handle NFS World, where i have spend about 100USD for the game. They never really fix any bugs or provide much new content. At the end of the day, its still Black Box's fault than the whole EA is crap. Not to forget what Bioware did to Dragon Age 2 where i'll never forgive them. Or what happen to C&C4.

DICE, IMO is still pretty alright.

Sorry to hear about your problems. Origin has been alright for me, except the lack of Steam friends list and in game access. Origin's in game interface is terrible. Probably because my BF3 is retail version. Other than that, i actually like Origin because of its awesome download speed compared to Steam, the option that allow you to install separate games on separate drives and login is amazingly fast.

I dont mind Origin at the end of the day, just that, i just dont understand why people worship Steam like god while Origin is a piece of crap to them. Both programs have pros and cons. Its nice to have all the games in one place, but if anything happen to Steam, you lose access to all your games. Sure, EA has been rather silly and evil, but hating their client is unjustified for me.

Thanks for the picture. Don't think I'll get a Normandy then. The whole thing just do not worth 30USD.

I want the Mass Effect Universe book though, if the final game turns out to be good.

There is something about early ME3 demo access for BF3 players, but i think the Battlefield blog is down.

Thanks.
Downloading now.

Hope it doesnt suck.

Thats a seriously sweet deal, but both games have something in common where both games have some useless features stuck on it.

Updated.

Played a bit of the multiplayer. Here is my first impression.

It feels very much like it is added to have another tick box on the case. Its technically just survival mode in Mass Effect Universe with multiplayer progression. For me, its very underwhelming so far. Need to play more of it.

I find Soldier class is incredibly boring. Maybe i should play Adept or Vanguard.

Apparently, the trial part is cancelled, so there arent any trials to make your stand on your renegade or paragon stance.

That would make the beginning of ME3 really epic.

The MP is sort of fun, but it still feels like its there because some manager at EA wants it there. It doesnt feel like a well thought out component of the game.

The combat is pretty fun though, with random enemies and so on.

Also, the unlock system is even more atrocious than BF3's guns attachment unlock tree. Why do i need to draw random "cards" to get new items?

Nope, there is only one mode.

Yeap, thats the exact reason i hate about the unlock system.

I have 2 weapons for my other weapons but im still stuck one assault rifle. Why did you do that, EA? Its annoying as hell in NFS World, and why did you do the same crap in ME3 MP? Another thing i really dislike is the one use equipments. Cant we get more permanent items, other than guns? It feels like a cheap free to play MMO.

Other than that, im fine with that, as the combat and waves are pretty solid. The guns feel is awesome, i would say, even with a simple attachment make the gun feels a lot different. I like the enemy variety too, and im looking forward to fight against the Reaper army. Its feels a lot like DoW2's Last Stand.

The single player, on the other hand, its still the game i love. I just hope the single player will have more conversation in the final game. It feels very stripped down now. The draw distance is fantastic though, but the textures are gawd damn blurry.

Yea,especially..

I love this soundtrack. It's amazing to the point where i felt a bitter sadness whenever i listen to it after playing the demo. I think this is a very well composed soundtrack with a little bit of transformer feel due to the reaper horns.

Me. Im getting one.

f*** EA, why are they doing this shit again?

Cant they just give it to everyone again?

Well, Mass Effect 3 will be the last EA game i'll buy from Day 1. From then on, i'll only buy their games on low price as there arent anything from EA that interest me for the rest of the year. I am not exactly interested in Generals 2 for now, as they are trying to pump DLCs from it too.

They are definitely not the same company i love in 2010 with all these constant DLC pumping as i really hate companies that keep making DLCs to milk their products.

Sadly, i'll miss their game's awesome sound and voice acting. They do have some really good franchise too.

If this is true, then, ME3 might be the best trilogy i ever played. Fingers crossed and hope its awesome!

Dont have to apologise for the rant.

This is just stupid business practise as i have spend RM330 for a CE retail and i do not have access to the AT-12 Raider. Dafuq.

I am done with EA after Mass Effect 3, as i just want to finish the story of my Cheese Shepard.

At least Liara DLC comes out much much later than the game, not a Day 1 and encouraging everyone to buy CE DLC.

EA's practise is incredibly annoying. Its like buy it at Day 1 or lose these contents forever.
