lv 16 engineer reporting here

yesterday night i made it to wave 9 with only 2 ppl. Now hard to find ppl for silver challenge. The only tough enemy i think is the TURRET. If kena backstab by turret, means GG liao.

imma the best mass effect player in malaysia nao

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."

*SPOILER ALERT*
IGN: Mass Effect 3 Review in Progress

"It's also worth noting that a few technical issues arise on the PS3 version as soon as you start playing, too. Fairly serious framerate issues plague the opening cinematic on Earth, and while this particular problem clears up as you play further through the game via future cutscenes, these hitches certainly concerned me early on. Likewise, lip-syncing is almost always off and characters sometimes appear stiff and can even flicker in and out of cutscenes when camera angles change. "


Be warned.

eh laboo thanks for saving my wallet!

just ordered from terion for RM 70 which includes from ashes. If the game fails to impress me, I wont be so sad afterall

terion says the psn version (RM 70) includes "from ashes". so RM 70 is a total win situation compare to those CE Rm 240.

i donno about this US SEN la or MY SEN la. as long as terion promised me can get it today then can liao.

but still having exam now until thursday. can use that time to download with ma 1mb slowmyx

bcuz there is a RM 70 version which includes from ashes as well.

you get the same as those who pre-ordered the CE version + an exclusive PS3 Mass Effect 3 theme for only RM 70!

1mb slowmyx really that slow meh? im going to download it whole day. probably thursday can complete the construction d

urs are unifi 20mb? i jelly

8 seconds per mb hmmm. lets do the maths... 31 hours to go

Mass Effect 3 Playstation 3 Technical Aspect:

Pros:
- Significantly shorter loading times compared to Mass Effect 2.
- Frame rates are smoother in gun fights and in Normandy. No noticeable frame rate drop in the beginning scene. (PSN version, can't speak for Blue-ray version)
- Skipping conversations and Paragon/ Renegade cut scenes are smoother than Mass Effect 2.
- Hardly any freeze (1 or 2 second freeze) when entering new area. (Common problem in ME 2)

Cons:
- Hard freeze at Dr. Eva (saving Kaiden/ Ashley). Probably more hard freeze in future cut scenes as some users in BSN reported frequent freeze in citadel, etc.


Currently at 3rd hour of playing. Overall still worth my 70 bucks.

after i finish single player, i join u. Just spent a few hours on citadel doing side quests. now pengsan d
