It looks good and I will definitely buy it; however, looking back on the past year since ME2 came out, it's actually kind of crazy how much money I have spent on all this DLC. I will be much more frugal when I get ME3, because the only one of the ME2 bunch I have actually liked thus far is Lair of the Shadow Broker. The other stuff amounts to like $20+ of wasted money.

And that's the only one who carries over to the third one too! Though it looks like Arrival has some carryover.

But I agree with you, I've bought all of the DLC for the game so it's like $80 when it's all totaled, while the PS3 buyers had it all for just $60 (jealousrage!!!!)

I still haven't played Shadow Broker, as my laptop can't run ME2 that well.

Electronic Arts is delaying the release of Mass Effect 3 into early 2012.

Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series, made the announcement through the game's official Facebook page.

"Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012. The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone's expectations."


Can't say I wasn't expecting this. Well, my pocket will surely enjoy this, because now I don't have to buy ME3 and BF3 on the same month.

GOOD.

I'm glad they aren't rushing to get the game out. It will be better this way.

I was hoping ME3 would come out before Christmas so I could play it at home on my parent's nice HDTV. Oh, well. It looks like it's going to be incredible. Literally everything I wanted BioWare to change from ME2 is being changed.

BTW I've basically decided to write the ME3 Wiki article myself. Go check it out!

The Wikipedia one. It's so annoying trying to stop idiots from editing the article. They actually think it makes sense to say, "Shepard must deal with Cerberus who have decided to turn against Shepard".

Eh, don't waste your time. You don't need to deal with the idiots who decided to be idiots.

So this girl I've been dating for a while bought a PS3 some days ago, what's the first game I make her get? Mass Effect 2.

And you know what's her favorite part about the game? Mining. :facepalm:

To her credit, I did find mining to be pretty fun the first time through the game.  Now I just skip it and add the resources using a save editor.

Been playing a neutral (good to vulnerable people, bad to thugs (like Garrus pretty much)) infiltrator on insanity.  It's extremely fun, but krogan are a bitch to handle!

There is a reason why the Council used the krogans to drive the rachni to extinction. /ME nerd

I'm really considering starting a new career all the way from the original, and instead of going all-out paragon or renegade or even doing that Garrus-style thing you mentioned, just playing by my own personal morals.  My only misgiving is how, while ME2's length and depth really enhanced the gameplay experience, ME1 (in my opinion, of course) did not.  ME1 by contrast even feels unnecessarily long, because I think the length added by the side-quests doesn't really give the game the depth side-quests gave to ME2.

I'm knee-deep in Skyrim right now, but I couldn't help but notice a new combat video BioWare posted for Mass Effect 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Or0fly8vA0

This game looks incredible. After I finish with Skyrim and Arkham Asylum, it should be close to March 6.

I can't wait, though I do wonder how all these designers work when there is so much Skyrim to be played.

But I'm most excited to see is how the decisions of the past two games affect this one. I'm hopeful the whole destruction of the batarian planet in Arrival has some consequence, apart from Shepard starting the game on trial.

Yeah, they should really borrow the Smuggler ability in The Old Republic that allows you to create your own cover
