I actually like driving Mako, it's quite fun, just that ME1 planet doesn't really have a lot of variety.

Ammo wise I am ok with either one, in ME2 ammo appear on the ground and also drop by the enemies. So if they make enemies drop ammo more often, they can just remove those that appear on the ground.

I playthrough ME2 8 times, first 2 times are very quick run throughs because I just want to learn the major stories. Later 6 times I focus on min max up my builds and focus on the action, skipping most of the dialogue except for the ones that I never heard before.

For me action mode makes sense. Then there are players that play ME for the story, and complain that ME2 combat is too hard.

if the mako can fly and jump like the hammerhead nvm also. but it drive around those rocks or high hills...

then finding resources... have to drive around the map... haha.

anyway back to me3, u guys po from software boutique? i am wondering if other sellers other than them will have PO bonus items.

Well trying to turn Mako turtle ma

i think only authorized EA retailer have PO bonus items, I doubt LYN sellers are authorized. I PO-ed mine on Amazon, since I need R1 version

I po'd from a retailer in sg, and i was lucky enough to get the last coupon for the normandy replica.

only authorized EA retailers will have the PO dlc.

software boutique is the main distributer for EA games in malaysia.

there are other EA authorized retailers and they are listed here: http://www.gamers.com.my/eamegahits12/

i already po from TSB because i like free dlc.

icic. so this time cannot buy from my local shop hehe. tsb it is then.

I advise all of you who have pre-ordered Mass Effect 3, either standard edition or collector's edition or consider buying it in the future, THINK AGAIN.


SUMMARY:
"I'm not buying the last game to the trilogy, to the series which I enjoyed a tonne for the last few years, because it offends my sensibility as a consumer. I do not find this acceptable. I will not support it with my money.
I won't.
I refuse.
I can't .
Because it would make me a bad person, because it against my principles, against what I think is right, when it comes to gaming in general. This is beyond acceptable. "


And not only this, PS3 is getting the inferior version of Mass Effect 3.


A standard looking game should have at least 30 frame per second (FPS). But PS3 is only getting roughly 20+ FPS in cut scene. 20+ FPS is not fun to watch and play. This is bad and lazy coding for PS3. Here is the discussion topic about this issue in the Bioware's official forum.

Disappointed with the framerate
"Don't buy the game before you know more about it. The silence from BioWare is all information you need to cancel your preorders. If the game is in better condition than the demo, then get it. Otherwise, save your money to another game instead. Don't fool yourself or take a chance."


Are you sure going to get this game for the PS3? Or shall I say, are you going to support Bioware/ EA for their move on day one DLC which should have been included in the game CD? EA has taken another step forward to rip MORE money from consumers. They cut an important part from the core game and sell it separately to trick more money for higher profit from the core fans who would buy anything. (DICE/ EA at least offered free DLC (Back to Karkand) for those who have pre-ordered the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition.)

The huge problem arises, when Bioware announced day one Mass Effect 3 DLC for extra bucks. If the DLC is not important to the main plot of the game, I wouldn't mind. This DLC, "From Ashes", contain a character and an extra mission. For those who have played Mass Effect, this is a big deal and the entire plot of the game starts from this mysterious species. The origins of the reapers, collectors lies within this character. This is pretty damn important, extremely important and SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE GAME FOR FREE!

The launch is not complete, the content you're buying from the store is not complete for the RM 155 you are paying. This is bad. This is unethical. I've fell in the hype trap of Battlefield 3 and I regretted buying it for having a game that lacks in support, a buggy hell mess of a game. I do not want to repeat it again because Mass Effect 3 is another game from EA.


This is painful to say. I want to see how the epic trilogy ends. But I do not support day one DLC and I hate giving my money to somebody for a bad quality product. If the basic frame rate for PS3 is not fixed or at least on par with the Xbox counterpart, a DEFINITE NO BUY from me.

"Day one launch, day one pirate."

So after your wall of text, your point is... you're gonna pirate this game if it isn't up to your expectations?

Okay.

Capcom says hi

yawn. kao peh kao bu here. day 1 dlc is the current fad, i'm pretty sure everyone mature enough got used to it. besides, its EA, what u expect lol.

but from what i tried from the demo(i tried ps3 and pc), ps3 version really have bad framerate during cutscenes. its a fact tho, but this is based of the demo, hopefully it will be better in the final product.

personally i getting pc ce version from TSB, with all the goodies.

agreed .. its just a demo .. hopefully final product

I buy this game solely for extra-terrestrial romance

Wow I am surprise that this didn't get posted here until now, been reading the 135 pages of rage at Bioware forum, makes for an interesting afternoon.

My take on it, seems like those that say they are not getting the game due to day 1 dlc and the demo must either know someone that work in Bioware or have access to information that no one has, because all the assumption they make just from those two things are wow astounding.

Well I still gonna get my CE and enjoy my ME3 come March, finish my ME2 insanity with time to spare and wait for ME3 release

I feel the 1st dlc should be included even on standard editions. Like bf3 the back to karkand was available in limited edition which was initial copies. Collectors editions should include something else like exclusive toys or art books etc. Not typical dlc which everyone could have gotten it at launch.

I kinda agree with what the video mentioned above, though these are my personal thoughts.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/02/23...ned-considered/

The sense of entitlement that gamers has in this day and age, feels that they are entitled to the "Full" game when only paying the base price, Of course developers are maximizing their profit when making DLCs, but think of how far game has come over the years, with every console generation, cost of making game increased exponentially, but actual hardcore gaming market has not expanded much over the years.

The argument that a Day-1 DLC is important to the story so it should be included in the main game fails to see the nature of selling a product. So do you mean a DLC content should be irrelevant, uninteresting, must not have better content than the main game? Then why put up a product like that? you expect it to sell? So a few months down the road, someone can't write a story for a short mission that totally trumps the story of the main mission? It will be accused as developer intentionally hold back the content to sell more DLCs.

In Software development(or a lot of other projects), there is always a cut off line, I need this game release at March, so after October I will stop accepting new ideas for the game, we need the remaining time to implement our existing ideas and fix bug, so sometime after October someone come with me with a very good idea to improve our game, this idea must be hold down for DLC or a sequel. The goal now is to complete the game on schedule. How do you think Duke Nukem Forever is in development for 15 years?

This also, is the trap some of the games this generation falls into. LA Noire, Final Fantasy VS 13, The Last Guardian, MG Rising, Ghost Recon Future Soldier. some of these games are going with new/rare ideas for gameplay, thus it generally takes longer, experiementing and balancing easily drags the time even longer, sending it into development hell. The cost rises higher and higher for every single time you wasted, and you still have to sell the game($59.99) on the standard price when it eventually came out.

This is not something a good developer will trap themselves with, admit it or not, they do not make games for fun, the make them to make money, some will try to strike a balance by making the game they enjoy making while finding ways to monetize it. But if they do not make money, this developer won't come out with the next game.

So DLCs is the sweet middle ground that they found by selling more content to customers that is willing to pay more, while expanding the market to more casual gamers that just like the basic experience and prefer a lower cost to enjoy it. You do aware that game completion rate for good game is only average at 50%? Means that for every 10 people that buys a game, only 5 people plays it till the end. Be glad that they didn't take that as a hint to cut a game short by 50%.

I mean we never heard someone says "I paid RM15 to watch this movie, so I am entitled to watch the director cut, the HD remaster and the 3D rerelease of the movie, they've deliberately not release it in 3D, because we are obviously capable of that technology over 10 years ago".
