Ten hours of config files and Bioware / EA website scouring and I'm convinced it would've been a better idea to just buy a new 360 and new copies of ME 1 and 2.

Mouse and keyboard are horrible beyond belief for the game and every thread that used to exist to help you edit .inis to fix the problem has been deleted by Bioware.

On top of that they give you no way to register ME1; something that you're told you have to do to claim your free copy of bringing down the sky.

This is basically the most frustrating thing.

It may just be me, but after all the time I put into the 360 versions trying to use WASD controls feels like someone kneecapped Shepard.

Probably you. I know a couple people who started out Xbox and swapped PC though.

So, asshole level raised by EA making the super deluxe version of ME3 Origin ony? The art and soundtracks I can do without, but there seems to be the potential for missions, (exclusive in-game content) plus the N& weapons and costumes.

Haven't bought ME2 yet?  Well, it's effectively free right now if you intend to download anything else from Amazon -- the download version is $5 and comes with a $5 credit.

Bleh. I couldn't give two shits about the weapons, I would hope the costumes would be available later, and I seriously doubt that they'd make the extra character and missions permanently exclusive.

I have the PC games to play at a later date, and this is of interest to me. What's the issue? Is it mouse acceleration?

Mass Effect 3: Special Forces Trailer

Looks great! A lot more options than I thought they would actually include.

All Class/Race combinations screenshots

Adept: HumanM/HumanF/Asari/Drell
Soldier: HumanM/HumanF/Krogan/Turien
Engineer: HumanM/HumanF/Quarian/Salarian
Sentinel: HumanM/HumanF/Turien/Krogan
Infiltrator: HumanM/HumanF/Salarian/Quarian
Vanguard: HumanM/HumanF/Drell/Asari

All alien races are their mono-genders that you run into in ME2.

[spoiler]No playable Geth characters :( There had better be DLC for that shit.[/spoiler]

Here's to hoping they add a lot of cosmetic and class DLC with their action figure bullshit.

Quote
These products contain codes that can be redeemed for a downloadable content pack for Mass Effect 3 multi-player. They are slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters. The pack could also include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multi-player squad stronger. (Only supported on XBox360 and PC.)

That said, this is probably what will I'll do anyway.

As long as they don't make any missions hard to come by.

Feeling kinda angry/disgusted/suitable negative emotion that the DLC/Apps for ME3 are getting retarded. Now there will be a phone app that lets you pump your galactic readiness level while drinking your $5 latte.

 At this point, why not just youtube the ending?  :facepalm:

The obvious answer would be that they don't believe a youTube posting will let them monetize the content sufficiently.

I'm unwilling to click that link, but the idea of a game where characters are interested in interacting with you, the player, is kind of neat. That said, I haven't played an Animal Crossing-alike in ages, so I've forgotten exactly how poorly that concept always gets executed.

 Or how about a dvd of all the cutscenes with a 'Choose your own adventure' style interface? Do you want to romance that hot new reporter without having to do missions for 2 hours? Or see both the good and bad choices of a mission?  Bioware could also have special 'linking' scenes that smoothly bring together the cutscenes, exclusive just for this dvd! if you complete all scenes, you get a special file that can be used for a purple Korgan shotgun in the upcoming ME MMO. :sarcasm:

The Baten Kaitos games literally make the player a part of the game's narrative, not as an existing or generated in-world character, but as an actual independent otherworldly entity that's being channeled by a protagonist. The implementation wasn't nearly as deep as I'd have liked in terms of mechanics, but if you let yourself play along with what the fiction is trying to do there are some pretty amazing curveballs in there. I've never played another game where it felt like one of the characters personally [spoiler]betrayed[/spoiler] me.

Well, since you have to grind the multiplayer, facebook tie-in, and/or iOS tie-in to get your Galactic Readiness above 50%, and it degrades over time so you have the keep grinding them consistently through your playthrough, and Galactic Readiness is a major factor in what ending you get ... yeah.
