the little non colored in 'o's are probably things in the standard game
The pre-order/deluxe version bullshit that will inevitably surround this game is the only part of it I'm not looking forward to.
I don't remember any of that surrounding the ME2 CE.
Already calling the extra character + mission as ME3's Cerberus Network equivalent and that they will be packed in with regular copies of the game too.
I dunno, there was some Dr Pepper shit for additional weapons wasn't there?
But DA2 was pretty bad. If I'm remembering correctly the digital version with Seb could only be bought from EA's download server and only for a limited time. And I think it wasn't even announced he would be exclusive to it until pre-orders had closed.
I have ME2 but no DLC for it. I get 2 suits of armour and 2 weapons per category. Not really acceptable base game for an RPG.

Yeah, this.
I'm hoping that any real content found in the special edition (by which I mean the character & adventure DLC) winds up being sold separately.
Or that those of us who've preordered already get some "signature edition" upgrade thing that includes some of that content.
When has it ever not wound up being sold separately? They want all of your moneys. Give all of your moneys to them.
The Sebastien signature edition screw up was mostly the fault of the retailers anyways (selling copies of something they didn't have or simply didn't know what extra content it came with). Bioware caught all the flack for it, so I doubt they will make that mistake again.
Seriously, Best Buy fucks up and its somehow Bioware's fault.
Just give dem ur monies.
Considering I payed full price for everything for the collectors edition Mass Effect 2+all DLC including costume packs (Total of about $100). I've literally played that game for like 200 hours. That is like 50 cents an hour.

It's not listed in the standard edition on EA's store.
But whatevs, I'm probably going to give in and get the shiny edition. Because it's shiny.

Eh? There's only 2 weapons for SMG and pistol. 3 for shotgun/sniper and 4 for AR. Plus, unless you're counting the mod armor as one piece and counting the Cerberus suit as the second, there's like four pieces per slot in vanilla.
Still, more is always better, and since they're focusing on RPG elements and can probably inherit most of the gear from ME2 and then make more, we'll probably get it.

Even though I doubt that it'll be even a quarter of the train wreck DA2, that, combined with EA's $60 PC game price hike and tendency to have sales on said price to the range of $40 within like a month, makes me rather hesitant to buy it day one.
EDIT: and the "only 2 options per gun type" only doesn't apply if you select that one particular type for your weapon upgrade, rather than getting a new proficiency or the like.
Luckily we already know ME3 will be better than DA2 because the production values seen in the gameplay videos are higher than everything in DA2.
And it just seems to have more coherent design, because DA2 is a very confused game that had no idea what it wanted to do. While ME3 is the conclusion of a well thought out and focused trilogy of games.
Yeah, every game fits together really well, even though production values rise noticeably per game. Though I still think the epic landscapes in ME1 are jaw dropping and we never really got anything like that in ME2. Aside from that, ME2 is better looking in every way.
3) How can you not remember how we all got the pre-order and soda promotion DLC in our download queues before the game came out because someone at Live screwed up and let anyone download them for a few hours?
Can I use the Blood Dragon armor and have the helmet off cosmetically in combat? I really don't like the prospect of not being able to see Shepard's head.
dammit, someone get me a job so I can give Bioware all the money

Unfortunately, no. The DLC armor packs later on split up the armor into pieces, so hopefully any ME3 armor will be the same.

Wait, when you say epic landscapes you're not talking about the driving around in the Mako on the endless worlds covered in 200ft sheer cliffs, right?

Somebody should put together a compilation of all the different save-file panoramas from ME1 and ME2.
EDIT: and the "only 2 options per gun type" only doesn't apply if you select that one particular type for your weapon upgrade, rather than getting a new proficiency or the like.
This is a good point that I was overlooking, yet it doesn't affect half the classes since Infiltrators will always take the Widow and the other two combat classes have 3 weapons in their favored category without it (I forgot about the Claymore). Those remaining classes happen to focus on powers.
Still! That does narrow it down, and it sucks for adepts/sentinels/engies, so yes, they need moar dakka. If they inherit most of the weapons of ME2 and add new ones though, that should be pretty good. It's much more than ME1's choice of four, after all.

Has anyone offered a reason why this kinect functionality can't be achieved with the headset that everyone has already? I'd love to hear what technical explanation they come up with, only to see it refuted two minutes later.
I'd respect them more if they just said "Microsoft drove a big dump truck of money over to EA HQ, and left us the keys." At least they'd be honest.
They already did. The guy shat himself and changed topic as quickly as possible, his only reason being its better not to have to be wearing a headset. That's basically 100% confirmation it was a money hat.

See, I'd prefer a headset even if I had Kinect.
Especially if they used it fully, so radio transmissions went to the headset rather than the main speakers.
I can't say I'm too concerned. To me it's only a novelty system at best and I'd just find it alot easier to use a controller to issue orders. Never had a problem with it in ME1/ME2.
Finally got to watching all the gameplay stuff. Very excited. Glad to hear the "Fuck yeah Normandy" theme show up again. Also as an Infiltrator, the thought of stealthing and backstabbing some motherfuckers pleases me greatly.
Looks like thrown grenades are back, which makes me happy. Also, whatever that blade thing is, I approve of Shepard being able to straight up stab fools who decide to get up close.
There was nothing in any of those videos that wasn't awesome.
I'm not sure how interactive the reaper fight will actually be, since the gun didn't seem to have any effect on it. But still, a chase scene with a reaper is both badass and mandatory for the last installment of this trilogy.
I think it would be the most amazing thing in the world if the Kinect actually monitored your body language.
Just imagine the internet rage when the Tali romance is locked out because you looked down at the ground while initiating it. The social forums would burn with the heat of a nova.

A reverse LA Noir, where you have to lie convincingly to the machine (which should be easier, since you'll actually have done/not done the action rather than hiring voice actors to pretend that they are pretending about something they haven't done).
It'll be an important skill come the robot revolution at the end of 2012.
It'd be nice if the voice commands went with pointing, so you can say "that wall!" and flail wildly at it rather than just "move up".
