I was watching a youtube playthrough last night for like 3 hours. Oh the things I saw...

MeoTwister5 · 2012-03-05, 18:42

Datablitz just texted and said my copy will be ready at 4pm later, which is about 9 hours from now.

I should go.

I don't get it.

Didn't care much but I heard awhile back that they had sold out on CE and weren't selling them anymore.

Then a few weeks ago I check Futureshop and they got tons of supplies of CE and I just got an email that it's shipping now.

How's them for apples?

Wasn't planning on getting the CE, not sure what the hell or why I even bought the CE as I usually just go to the store to buy it first day. In fact I never even go to Futureshop as I hate them but I don't know, something made me wanna get the CE I...oh my gaww...........

Got up to a mission involving Jack. I love what they did to her.

LoweGear · 2012-03-05, 22:30

So been following this particular tweet series http://twitter.com/#!/AllianceNewsNet, which has meta-posts starring Emily Wong (one of the good reporters from ME1) covering the invasion of Earth. It's oddly gripping... although I hope it ends well, looks like the situation on the ground is looking bad

*still waiting for his retail copy to arrive*

Nightengale · 2012-03-05, 23:05

Failed the lucky draw for the Normandy SR-2 figurine.

Ah well.

Spoiler for Twitter Feeds:

*Salutes*

At least, now I know what my Shepard will be fighting for. Those Reapers SHALL PAY

I think it would do her justice if during the actual retaking of earth we'd actually find her.

MeisterBabylon · 2012-03-06, 04:04

Sounds like one of those "Complete the game under a certain amount of time, and you will find her" kinda achievement.

Who know's. If you guys like her enough, BW would stick her in with a dlc and extract more moolah.

All I demand is equal treatment. If the good reporter has to die, then so does the bad reporter.

We already get to sock Al-Jilani for the third time though. Personally inflicting pain on the bad reporter is better than wishing her dead by Reaper hands

By Reaper hands? And turn her into a martyr? Too good for her.

Get her converted by a Dragon's Teeth and then we could have fun blowing her up.

There was surprisingly a lot of people at the local Datablitz. I arrived as they were opening the t-shirt boxes and there was already a line in the store.

Installing now, and excuse me as I disappear for a while.

It was better in the Datablitz I was in. People who've been waiting there since 10am, and when the preorder T-shirts arrived they handed them out immediately so we could have more patience to wait for the game.

There was like a couple of dozen people waiting in there all waiting for ME3.

Also, checked out MP first to unlock my free MP character first (I got a Turian Soldier!

). What surprised me though was that asides from the Starter Pack, I also had a "Battlefield 3 Pack" that included a "Battlefield 3 Soldier" character. Basically a 5th Soldier character, it's a Human Male Soldier that has an color scheme similar to the soldier in the BF3 cover (you can't customize his appearance, only his name). Also, instead of Concussive Shot, he has Carnage

Take a look:

Keroko · 2012-03-06, 06:44

Unlocked my EU copy a bit early with a little bit of IP swapping (does that even count as piracy when it's a paid for copy and stores in your country are selling the game anyway?) and I got a turian sentinel in my own starterpack.

Who · 2012-03-06, 06:58

Can I start discussing spoilers now? Or am I still on lockdown?

Kyero Fox · 2012-03-06, 08:00

^ wait till tomorrow to even put spoiler tags lol

how did you get the Battlefield guy?

Keroko · 2012-03-06, 08:11

You just need an active BF3 account.

MeoTwister5 · 2012-03-06, 08:19

I've put three hours into this thing and I have one comment:

Massive galactic fuckstorm is an understatement. Many sci-fi games claim to bring in galactic scale and urgency, few games deliver on said claim. The Mass Effect series is one of few games, and this game... it's hard to put into perspective how Bioware managed to present that. In recent years very few games for me have managed to weigh in it's world and it's situation in such a way that it actually feels like a physically heavy burden even for a piece of fiction. Games like ICO and Shadow of the Colossus would be examples where you could feel the situation so much for me it felt almost somatic. Though Mass Effect 3 doesn't reach such heart and soul reaching levels as those games, Bioware at least for the first few hours managed to do something I haven't felt in a long time.

I know the galaxy is in one massive fuckstorm, and by god I can feel it.

Fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I just ran into one of the harder "which faction do I support" choices. I'll have to wait to figure that one out.

Mordin singing several different songs was glorious. So glad the ME2 squad is relevant in their own way, even if they're not part of your permanent squad.
