In before PC Gamers rabble. ME3 is being priced already at $60 for the PC Version. I guess we all get to blame Activision for entering highly anticipated PC Games at $60 now.
We..uh...knew this. At the very latest, when it was leaked onto the website yesterday. But really, everyone should have realized when all future EA PC releases were 60 a month or two back
I'm not at all surprised.
But unless they step up their game significantly, I'm not getting fooled on the "digital collector's edition" again.
To whom it may concern; 1/2 the soundtrack != "the soundtrack".
I'm with you. I was...disappointed with it.

I'll be buying ME3 on release for certain. Unless I am dead.
That's about the only thing that would stop me. But I am sure I could reanimate as a zombie and do it anyway.

It warms my heart to have been busy most of the day, then come in here and see EXPLOSION OF SPECULATION.
Mass Effect 3 Spoilers:
Shepard and crew are alerted and distracted by the appearance of a Reaper in Strategic System X.
But once they head to the scene, the reaper informs them he was simply a diversion. Shepard and the other races he is able to rally to his aid find themselves on the other side of the galaxy from Earth.
Reaper fleet lands on Earth, proceeds to fucking ruin our shit.
Council races become paranoid and worried they're next, become fragmented and isolationistic, as is natural, since they're concerned with their own survival, missing big picture.
Shep rallies the species, one by one, calls in favors, and prepares for war. Rachni, if alive, assist. Krogan, if Wrex lives, as well. Liberated Geth also, if that was an option.
Mordin/EDI/TIM/Council/Whoever comes up with idea. Reapers can be controlled, like any machine, but only from WITHIN. DUN DUN DUN!
Shep and crew prepare to invade Harbinger, use controlled Reaper to turn tide in invasion, save Earth and help destroy other Reapers. Something involving Dark Energy (the darkest!)
Plan falls apart when Conrad Verner takes matters into own hands, stows away in cargo deck and steals shuttle.
Conrad invades Harbinger, only surviving by pure dumb luck. Harbinger starts to get angry and focus on the bumbling dipshit shooting wildly at non-vital systems in it's internal workings with a 1st generation overheating pistol.
Distraction causes Harbinger to flail around wildly and become preoccupied, exposing a weakspot on it's undercarriage. A weakspot noticed by Serviceman Chung, who quickly "eyeballs it", fires from the hip, and critically wounds Harbinger.
Stunned, the Reaper fleet tries to regroup, but the weakspot has been noticed. Attacks are fired by several key figures. Nictu Cal uses biotic godlike powers to flip a switch on a console, firing one shot. He then takes a nap.
Elsewhere, Powell and Cole find a control module while war profiteering in the rubble of a destroyed Reaper. They consider selling it, but instead decide to use it, causing one reaper to malfunction, colliding with another of its comrades.
As Shepard and crew return to Earth, they see the Reapers in disarray, panic and fear. The last shot is issued by the Friendzoned Turian, an act so impressive, his quarian crush decides to sleep with him. He refuses, dumping her for newfound groupies.
Shepard puts his dick in the Council's mouths while they sleep and takes pictures.
If someone creates a miracle foolproof medicine that is a cure for the common cold, cancer and loneliness but it has the minor side effects of explosive diarrhea, uncontrollable bleeding from the eyes and murder-fugues, that's not a total 'resounding' success.
I was late to the party with Mass Effect. Bought ME2 and ME1 this year around February. And now I am absolutely hooked. This might be the franchise I defend as some defend Mario, Zelda or Street Fighter.

Trauma, as I was reading your post this immediately came to mind.
Is it weird that I'm looking forward to Deus Ex 3 a little tiny bit more than Mass Effect 3?
I love the ME series and am completely skeptical of the next Deus Ex game, but dammit, Deus Ex was something wholly unique which has yet to be properly continue in some other game. I know I'm going to love ME3, but DE3 may actually be incredible despite years and years of skepticism against the possibility. It's the not knowing that's drawing me to be excited despite hardened cynicism.
London baby yeah! I wake up to London burning. Sweeet!!! Although the whole, "hope shepard comes soon" will probably lead to many "just one more side-mission before I go save earth, who cares if buenos aires burns". Awesome. And we get it in 2011 and not 2012? Even better. Please deliver bioware. I'll pay £100, I don't care.
Kaidan was slightly boring, it didn't really feel like there was a lot to learn about him, but I don't know if that deserves a lot hate. And with Ashley, she had more character and background that you could explore than any of the others. She felt much more believable as a result, even if you disagreed with her opinions or didn't bother to try and influence her moral alignment (which you could do, along with Garrus and Kaidan). That's why I kept her alive.
Tali was just a walking encyclopedia about her people and not herself and Liara was nerd bait who fainted into your arms and acted shy. I liked both of their characters, but there still wasn't that much to either of them in the first game.
I just have to say...I agree with you completely. Near the start of ME1, Ashley was kindof a prick. Around halfway she was somewhat likable, and then once I started actually seeing more of her character, and influencing some of her morals and the like, I started to actually like her. As a result, my Shep didn't cheat on her in ME2 at all. I'm weird enough to where when I read about romance in ME2, I made sure to find out what lines "locked in" the romances, so that I could avoid those lines while still being everyone's buddy. And when I found out about what happens if you don't romance someone new, I was all like fuckyeah being sad, although I haven't gotten there yet.
ANYWAYS
MASS EFFECT 3 FUCK YES PLEASE
timetogobeatmasseffect2nowbye.
Speaking of the London Eye (it's the UK's most popular paid attraction - of course it'll be there in the future - and who knows the reapers might want to give their indoctrinated slaves a nice view!), it would be even more awesome if the sniper sits in the top-most pod.
Thanks whoever tubedubbed september over the trailer. I love how he jabs the adrenalin shot/whatever medigel into his thigh just as the song goes: "do you REMEMBER". I think Bioware tell their trailer makers to time it to September because that is statistically prove to work with consumers.
Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth.
But that's where I keep all my stuff!
This aggression will not stand, man.

I totally didn't see the reapers coming to ruin everyones shit coming.
Totally didn't.
Edit: Why do I get a Dragon Age like impression of needing to get various aliens to work with you - perhaps even with BINARY choices like Geth = Renegade and Quarian = Paragon - then off to ERF with a massive starship battle.
Incidentally Bioware, there is going to be a massive starship battle. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LET ME DOWN WOULD YOU?

I was angry until I beat the greatest game ever made with the lamest digital collectors edition and then just felt like sending a continual stream of money and hookers to bioware, because even if the DE was shit, ME2 deserves piles of money.

I am now going to post in this thread again because two opportunities have arisen to give Bioware more of my money: PS3 ME2 and ME3.
In fact, why does london in general look pretty much the same?
The Turians blew it up.
They blew it all up.

You know it occurs to me the solution may be somewhat like this:
(Babylon 5 spoilers)
Personally I hope the focus is on GIANT SPACE BATTLES.
And punching people.
In short, what ME is good at.
PUNCHING PEOPLE GOD YES.
That thing they did with LotSB - they need to do that all the damn time!
He's gone and in the past man. THE PAST.
And thank fuck for that.
With slapping reporters as side quests.
That's... special.
Well the UK is an island...
Yay Mass Effect 3.
But the video didn't sit right with me at all. Now I am fearful of the last of ME's being a dud
I also got an iffy feeling.
