I was going to take time off but I just started a new job and they might get cranky if I use two days worth of sick time on my first week 
I "might" call in sick that day, but I am not entirely sure yet. I like the game, but I don't know if I like it enough to give up a vacation day I can use later in the year.
.... Dammit. Principles = tossed. Will attempt to snag some pre-order bonuses for the XBox version.

I must say... I'm tempted to get the 360 version, now that I have the console for it. Once again, thank you guys! ^^
I'm just worried I end up sucking at it. I've... never played a first-person shooter before

I am thinking of playing a bit tonight before bed, but I worry about getting overly hooked into the story and not getting good enough sleep, so since the multiplayer supposedly adds to the storyline I am just going to start a game or two and work towards unlocking my Turian Sentinal and Carinfex.
It's a third person shooter, and at any time you can pause the action and swing the camera around to take stock of your surroundings.I must say... I'm tempted to get the 360 version, now that I have the console for it. Once again, thank you guys! ^^

I am gonna cave and buy it.Sigh.
I feel you, bro. Much as it galls... they're going to get my money. Like they always knew they would. Bastards...
And i need to get the Collectors Edition or else I wont get the extra character,who will probably be essential to get the perfect ending. 
If one can run ME 2 on high settings,will I be able to run ME 3?

The ME3 demo ran better for me on ultra high than me2 did. They've done a lot of optimization.And i need to get the Collectors Edition or else I wont get the extra character,who will probably be essential to get the perfect ending.

After tonight, I won't be checking this thread till I finish the single player game.
Now if you're playing on PC and have Origin, feel free to add Blachloch to your origin account, that's me. I'll send you a few names from other HFers who've I've had the pleasure of playing coop games with.
I will probably hit people on Friday night some for 4 player MP mayhem if people are available.

So... I haven't played Mass Effect (yeah, yeah, mega fail), but I did find this while I was cleaning a few weeks ago:
Forgot about it until... well, today. So anyway, I'm picking someone at random tomorrow if anyone here is interested!

First impressions:
Game wouldn't start for me. I almost got enraged to the point that I was going to smash my computer to pieces and burn all technology in the world in effigy. Found out I needed to reinstall Origin for the game to work. Fuck Origin is terrible, TERRIBLE.
All the female characters got boob jobs, except Chakwas.
The Citadel finally looks like I thought it would. Crowded and gorgeous.
The dialog is pretty bad.
James Vega is less annoying than I thought he would be. Good game, Prinze Jr.
Apparently Capt. Bailey decided to invest in Just For Men.
The Crusader shotgun is fucking amazing. All the joy of a shotgun with the accuracy of a sniper rifle.

So you mean it works like a Shotgun is SUPPOSED to work in the first place, right?
And it could definitely do without the fucking God awful Dragon Age 2 style find some random shit somewhere in space and then magically someone on the Citadel will give you money for it and talk to you like they already asked you to find it. That was fucking stupid and lazy in DA2 and it's fucking stupid and lazy in Mass Effect 3.
Despite gripes, I dig the holy shit out of the citadel. I also dig you run into your crew seeing the sights. What I don't dig is the complete lack of any feeling of urgency. It took the reapers like 12 seconds to completely overwhelm humanity, but it's cool, we're jauntying around the whole galaxy taking our time.

It is a bit funny how fast everything sort of went to shit, and then suddenly I am dancing in Purgatory or dealing with silly little disagreements on the Citadel again. General little spoilers ahead, so read at your own risk.
They keep talking about "the war" like it's an ongoing, even battle, and yet ever single time I go a place a Reaper is directly attacking, millions are getting smoked in less then a few hours. The Bartarians are hinted to be almost entirely wiped out already. Considering how many Reapers attacked Earth, the whole population should be dead by now. I know the reason the Citadel probably makes it out like a more even fight is so people don't panic, but still, it does seem odd how casual you can take it.
Also, why go to all that trouble to add dozens of different variables, like making the Shepard/Ashley former romance get hinted in almost every early cutscene, and yet they can't take TWO SECONDS to make a comment about why Anderson is not on the Council like I made him in ME1 and saw him taking part in ME2. Suddenly it's Udina, with zero information about why. They basically decided they wanted Anderson on Earth to be the leader of the humans resistance and decided it was not worth even making an excuse for us that made him a Couniler
On the other side of the coin they did close up another glaring issue I had. The Protheans. I always felt it was odd that in the first game we saw all these statues of the race, then in ME2 they were suddenly bug people. They basically explain that the "Prothean Empire" was made up of the main race and many subservient races, and the ruin found on Illos was actually an old city of one of those subservient races rather then the Prothean master race.
Speaking of Protheans, what the fuck... I never expected to have one as a SQUAD MEMBER in this game. Him and EDI's new sexbot body make me feel like they were running out of ideas after the huge grouping of misfits we had in ME2 so they wanted to just go crazy

On the topic of the misfits, I'm not fond of how most of the 2nd games cast has been portrayed. Hey, sup. Yeah, I'm cool. Not gonna help you. Peace out! If that itty bit with Miranda is all there is of her, I might smash worlds
Also, planet scanning sucks dick. It sucks even more dick when you have to abandon the system over and over again because reapers keep trying to murder chase you.
I kind of cheat it. I go into a system, save, scan like crazy until I discover all the relic and fuel locations, which obviously calls the Reapers. Then I just reload the save, go to the spots, scan, grab till 100%, then leave. Sometimes the Reapers still come for me, but by that time I don't really care about the system anymore since there are no more minerals to gather, thus making most of the extra planets rather worthless after I get 100% on the relics. I have already exhausted the few systems that are open to me and gathered a lot of war assets.
