Default Mass Effect 3

Being a massive fan of the Mass Effect series and with Mass Effect 3
getting released in March I am just wanting to see if there are anyone
else on snet who liked playing it aswell.

And if so did you carry on all you're saves from the first two games
to upload into Mass Effect 3 when released.



I think my wife wont be happy when this is released as I will be dissapearing
into my games room for about a week

Sweeeeet there is nothing better than playing a game on a big screen.
HD projector would be amazing commander shepard would be almost life size on that

I am playing on a 50" plasma which is ace for gaming.

Really looking forward to this.

Completed ME1 twice on the XBOX and once on the PC.
Completed ME2 three times on the XBOX and have bought it for PC but not played it yet

I got £40 worth of games vouchers for xmas and i am saving them for ME3, its not often i buy a £40 XBOX game now as most are not worth it by a long shot, but i suspect ME3 will give me plenty of hours worth of entertainment.

Will probably complete it a few times, then rebuy it down the line on Steam (if avail) when its super cheap in a sale.

I'm pre ordering this along with Tomb raider,and Borderlands 2 maybe.
Play.com are offering a pre order bonus pack for mass effect,the Argus rifle.I was going to order from Amazon but it don't say anything about a pre order bonus with the game,Amazon are doing it slightly cheaper than play too.

No i don't usually buy games now when first released either,i usually wait till the price is reduced,but some games you just have to take the plunge and buy,mass effect being one of them.Borderlands really liked the 1st one,so going for that,and got to go for tomb raider also.

used the default male shepard on the first two but i'm liking the look of the default female shepard as voted by the gamers. Also liking the look of the new ashley and the everso slightly dirty smile she gave femshep, so those two may have to get it on

Was the MP any good
I have not been home for a little bit because I am working abroad
At the moment but when I get home I will download and play the demo.

My wife is cringing because she knows as soon as this game
Is released I will not come out of my games room for about a week

love mass effect, i need to get the rest of the dlc to finish before the ne wone comes out, there is a cross over story in the dlc that leads from 2 to 3 as i understand.

Its funny, i have never been a big fan of 3rd person shooters/rpgs etc, then i had a go on mass effect and now love them, saints row, dragon age, mass effect etc etc

I'm pretty sure I know where my save games are... but now I think about it, I'm a little worried that I haven't checked.

I had the perfect ending as well. God if I have to go through ME2 all over again.

About 4 months ago I deleted all my saves and started afresh
and done ME 1 and 2 again just so the saves could sit untill
me 3 came out.

ME 2 the amount of times I went through that suicide mission to
try and get everyone to survive was crazy

It's a local game shop owned and run by my mate
He is a great guy and none of the big name game shops can
Match his second hand game and console deals.

He was telling me that game and another retailer fell out
With the game developer so they are not getting any copy's of it
And because of that he is now able to get special edition
Copy's of ME3 so that's the one I preordered.

I got my copy yesterday and ME3 is amazing

When you start ME3 and choose to import your game saves it comes up with a list
of your choices in the first two games so you can be sure its the correct
save file with the perfect ending.

Haven't even done the ending to ME2 yet,will have to do it today i think,did you get the perfect ending.

Think i played a blinder here as i had this on pre order with amazon,last week they sent me an email saying it won't be delivered until 12th march .decided to cancel and got it cheaper from the shop yesterday.Amazon though have still sent me an email with the pre order bonus code.I'm gonna try it later see if it the code works.

The boy downloaded this from Origin and has not been seen since so must be quite good...............I asked him why he didn't buy it from Steam (his usual source) and he says Electronic Arts don't sell ME3 on Steam.
