Salzella Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I can see myself getting horribly addicted to the multiplayer element (didn't expect that to be honest). Only two maps but i just can't stop playing. damn, infiltrators are so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Btw, anyone knows if we will be able to play the PC version offline? Not only the Origin things sucks by itself and by principle but I will be traveling to weird places again (the kind of place where an internet connection is still hardly accessible...and when it works it's at about 10kbs -it's not a typo-) for about a month at mid-march...

Totenkopf Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The demo works offline for PC, so the game likely should too. I imagine it'll be like Steam in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oooh! I just found the offline button thanks to you. I guess I haven't been exploring enough: it must be my natural aversion for origins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3sd0 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The whole need for Origins is why I still haven't downloaded the ME3 demo, but perhaps playing the ME3 demo would make me more anxious for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan23 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 What is the big deal with Origins? verse Steam? I don't understand how having Origins would stop you from buying a game you will enjoy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It's a far more insidious piece of malware than Steam. Google it - you won't have to look far to find a whole bunch of dodgy stuff related to it. Not to mention their EULA is absolutely ridiculous. It is the very model of heavy-handed, draconian practices by publishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3sd0 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks Darth for answering that for me! I just don't see the point in getting all this stupid Origins stuff just to play a demo, when I will probably find some sort of work around for the requirement of Origin for the actual game anyways and won't use the Origins then either. I don't really have a problem with Steam, it's nice, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Here's the CG trailer I posted a teaser of the other day: [youtube=hd]Vs7kix6_8Ks Apparently a director's cut version comes out Tuesday (dunno why they didn't just post that to start with).

Taak Farst Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Given that it's like three weeks until release in Europe, and we've seen all there is to see UNTIL release, this cinematic trailer didn't phase me. It didn't change my opinion on the game at all. To be honest, it just served as a pretty cinematic. Don't really see the need, but meh. I'm a buzzkill with these sorts of things. EDIT: I also don't understand the whole 'Director's Cut' business in trailers. I've only ever seen it once before with the DA2 cinematic trailer, and that also confused me. Why not just release the whole thing? EDIT2: Bioware thinks we will be fine with non-intrusive DRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I don't believe it will be intrusive either, since I'm playing ME3 on the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3sd0 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 AHAHAH the comments on the article about Origin was perfect and expresses my sentiments exactly... The trailer looked pretty nice I have to say, but I already knew ME3 looked pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever seen it once before with the DA2 cinematic trailer, and that also confused me. Why not just release the whole thing?At least in this case, the original cut was shown as a TV advert in the US. But yeah, not sure why you wouldn't just post the extended version on the net to begin with rather than waiting an extra day or two. Doesn't make much sense to me, but then nothing that PR types do does. In any event, here is the extended cut version: [youtube=hd]eBktyyaV9LY Oh, and here's IGN's Rewind Theater analysis of it: [youtube=hd]uibfIxBl-DI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan23 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The reason for the cut and uncut has to do with two things. 1- bought commercial air time. 2- the uncut version was the original version but then they had to edit so it would fit the time window for the commercial. This is why there were two versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 We know why there are two versions, it just doesn't make sense to release them separately when they could've easily released both versions at the same time, one version that was shown on TV and another version shown on the interweb and both versions available one with the title at the end saying "TV spot" ...it's common practice already since... well... forever.

Red Hessian Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Mass Effect 3 DLC leaked/announced and will be available in March. Surprise, surprise.... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a367147/mass-effect-3-dlc-from-ashes-details-leak.html Remember "The Exiled Prince"? This is beginning to smell more and more of another DA2. EDIT: I have a few bones to pick with this DLC. A Prothean squad member?! Let me guess: He's been in stasis on some forgotten world for the last 50,000 years, just waiting for Shepard to come and rescue him and then pledging his undying loyalty to help save the galaxy from the Reapers which destroyed his people... How would he communicate with anyone? Shepard might understand the Prothean language, but he can't speak it. I’ll bet he’s some kind of super-smart type who can learn an entire language just be hearing a few words of it. Can’t wait to see how the geniuses at Bioware/EA are going to explain this one.

DarthParametric Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 That's pretty old news. The DLC first cropped up a month or so ago, but we've known about Prothy (as he is affectionately known) for 6 months or more. He/she/it was first accidentally revealed when the original collector's edition box art was unveiled, before being hastily removed. Since then Bioware/EA has been adamant that it was just a "concept" and that he wasn't in the game, but we all know what the word of one of their mouthpieces is worth these days. I think more may have been revealed in the script that leaked a month or two ago, but I have steered clear of any of that info myself to avoid spoilers.

Achilles Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 "DLC will be available when the game is released in March" had better = "DLC will be a free download for those that pay full price for the full game in March" (ala Cerberus network).

Odds are this DLC character is going to be treated like Sebastian from Dragon Age II (free if you preordered or better yet, preordered the Collectors edition (which I did), but full price if you just got retail).

DarthParametric Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It's included as part of the collector's edition (retail and digital), but otherwise, no, it won't be free. And if you think that's bad, you don't want to know about all the pre-order bonuses.... http://www.destructoid.com/it-will-cost-you-around-870-to-get-mass-effect-3-s-dlc-222045.phtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
