Mass Effect 3

Official Launch trailer. Oh My.

TAKE EARTH BACK!!!!!!!well there goes my xbox life for 2 months

Game should have gone into administration last month, but were saved by an emergency loan. I'd imagine if they do go into admin, Gamestop might buy them out, as they've been looking for a way into the UK for a while. But I think they'll kill off the Gamestation brand at least and shut a lot of stores.

I've even had my old district manager emailing me to find out of there are any jobs in Tesco, so that should tell you how things are going there.

Hopefully I'll be getting this at 50% off (if my local Gamestop is open on Memorial Day).

And here's my current wallpaper.

Yeah, I've been using that for quiet awhile now. Best one I could find. Second best is an incredible Skyrim one I have

Yes, I'm halfway through my ME3 play through and will get back in time to get this and play it alongside Omega

VERY tempted to buy the Trilogy. I played 1 and loved it and the demo of 3 was great

ME2 was the best overall I think... Followed closely by ME3 (the story was incredible until the infamously poor ending, but the multiplayer made up for that )

ME2>ME1>ME3.

2 has great character development, 1 had the best villain and story. 3 not so much. I'd go into detail but there's too much wrong with it aha.

Probably one of the best trilogy's out there, 3 was poor in comparison to the rest though, 2 is still my favorite game on the 360 though. 1 is one of the best too.

I got 1 on PC, 2 on PS3, and 3 on Xbox because i'm just that special

ME1 was the best cause of the story, ME2 was very good when re-playing it recently (good characters, silly final boss, random story that didn't really fit in well imo) and ME3 overall was fantastic. Yes, the ending wasn't the best - extended cut helped and I enjoyed it - but the full lead up to it was amazing. Yeah, it was a bit "The Reapers are attacking, quick - let's leave Earth and go make friends!" but it was still great. Playing it all back to back over the last month in one has been a great experience.

Thing is it could have been so much more, as a standalone game its great, but there's so much wrong with it in my and many others opinion, I love aspects of it, like Tuchunka, Rannoch, even Mars has a great vibe but then there's [Censored] like the Rachni being involved no matter what, and the rubbish auto dialogue, and Cerberus going from about 200-300 members to a whole freaking army, TIM losing what made him awesome to become a stupid fricken retard, and the Collector base decision making no difference at all. The whole end sequence is stupid too, they can shut down the relays with the Citadel, but don't, they leave the backdoor on, Harby actually lands, fails to kill Shep, then just lets him/her waltz up to the Citadel and then it all goes wrong. The reapers become retards basically.
There's a lot of good, and a whole lot of bad too. Plus BW lied real bad pre release, that's still my big problem with 3.

Still, the series is one of the best out there, all 3 games have awesome music, and all have their great moments. I hope this final DLC is worthy of the series.

Better put Omega on sale too, I want it, but not at that price for what it is.

Agreed, Cerberus was always the lurking pro-human small group in ME1 with amazing side-missions, then you team up with them in ME2 for a good reason - plus they brought you back. Then they have an army worthy of the Turians in ME3. In a way, it worked, but Cerberus wasn't needed in such a way. If TIM had always been there in the background working on stuff, and then you met him indoctrinated and bad ass - as he was in the concept art and such - then it might have been the whole Seren is Reaper omg moment.

I still love it, and playing it back again has been great. The polished everything for ME3 so it feels right, but the story was de-railed because of the leak and if they had went with the original dark energy story that had been building up quietly since ME1 it would have been amazing.
