i hate retailer exclusives.. but hope its not armor that covers your face.. i thought they would be cool but when it came to the dialogue having a helmet kinda killed the game for me..
Yeah, I did this last time, got the inferno and collector armor... barely used either. I'll wait, buy used, and the money I save I can spend on a weapons pack without feeling as hosed as the last time.
I pre-ordered the Collector's edition back in October from Amazon.
I'm so excited about this game. <3

God how I loathe this kind of bullshit. I'm playing on PC, so I can't have a goddamn Valkyrie rifle? If I don't preorder I can just kiss that AT-12 shotgun goodbye? You can take that Argus assault rifle and shove it up your ass, EA. I want it all, dummies.
Retailer-exclusivity is dumb, but I guess it doesn't hurt because I was going to pre-order the game anyway. Hell, I'll let some poor sap who actually gives a damn have the code. All I want is a great game.
We know the game has guns already. When will there be a clear screenshot of that gay shuttle pilot from the Normandy?
I think most of the dlc ends up coming out later. I think there was only 1 me2 item i didnt see included as normal pay for dlc. I just dont remember what it was. Even the incisor sniper came out on 360 even though it started on pc only. The funny thing was the dlc snafu, people managed to get it long before the dlc was officially released on 360. God, i hate it when they hold out on us like that...
Has it been confirmed to be Origin only or mostly supported via Origin? I cannot remember for the life of me if an article has been posted about this and Google does not help me in this case.
Maybe they'll do the cross over thing like with Dead Space 2 and Dragon Age 2 where, if you have your games registered they give you bonus items.
That would be neat. It was a nice little bonus in Dragon Age 2 to get Isaacs armor. Maybe I'll get some Hawke gear or something.

And to think this is before the withheld day one "free" DLC is announced To "reward" new buyer... So long as you buy new by a certain date anyway, otherwise you pay for that too. Good news is Bioware DLC is mostly crap anyway.
And the online pass for that forced multiplayer, can't forget that!
Looming forward to getting tt out of the used bin, as always - fuck EA

Not sure if this is even known yet, but may as well ask here.
If I have a PC ME2 save can I import that if I were to get the PS3 version of ME3, like, by copying it and moving it or something?
How did it work for 360/PS3 users with ME1 to ME2?

@pkfreeze, don't count on it. Best off getting the PC version if you care about it.
I wish they actually went back to the RPG ME1...but from the video it looks like they're sticking with the TPS ME2. Bleh.

@Polantaris, Bleh, that's annoying. With all the Origin complaints I've been seeing I was looking to find a way to avoid it all together. Not gonna pass up on the game because of it though.
If it's that big of an issue I can always rent ME2 on a console and make a new save, or find a similar one online though.

Buying this used. I love the Mass Effect series, and I 'like' BioWare. But that was in the past. However, I loathe EA from their little scandals these past couple of years and will not give them my money.
Call me a hypocrite or whatever. I don't want my money going into a company that treats this industry like a dirty whore.

man im wary on getting the collector's edition of the game since im not really liking what i see soo far.
will see.
will see.
Assault rifles and shotguns. Nothing an infiltrator would use.
At least I don't have to worry about preorders then.

Looks like I'll be going for the 360 version, since all EA PC games are infected with bullshit DRM now, unlike the completely clean Mass Effect 2.
As for this, I agree with everyone else -- Fuck retailer-exclusive stuff.

@Magnalon - there is also a bonus Character and Mission and the Art Book! (I really like the one in 2)
EXACTLY what Mr Andy said
Don't continue to be fooled, people. This "exclusive" is nothing more than a timed-exclusive. IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE for a price later. Just like the "exclusives" for ME2. And Dragon Age. What else?
Fuck off, EA. And your online passes, too.

Damn, I just now realized that this means that the game won't be available on Steam. I downloaded Origins to get in on the Battlefield 3 Beta, and I thought it was utter horseshit, and swore off it forever.
Of course, those were basically the same emotional responses I had towards Steam when Half Life 2 was first released.

@Darckcloud - I think it was just skins for 2 characters, an exclusive character would be incredibly destructive to the story.
I got so excited for this and then realized that I would have to install origin to keep playing on my PC and now I cant stop getting the feeling that I'm gonna get screwed in some way by EA. Dam paranoia is ruining Mass Effect for me already.

All of which will be released to buy for around $5 or something after launch. Really no consequence in not pre-ordering.
Am I the only Mass Effect 1 fan that is completely uninterested in this game?
If you didn't know of the prior titles and then watched the trailers for ME3 you wouldnt even dream that it was a RPG. Hell im not even sure if it is a RPG anymore.
Everything they have showed so far looks like Gears of War in fuckin space
Way to buy out and totally shit all over a promising franchise EA

The PS3 version of ME2 came with almost all of the dlc weapons and it still felt lacking, so, if I’m going to feel unsatisfied I’m at least not going to pay extra to feel unsatisfied.
I would like to remind Bioware that not all Mass Effect players pick up the game solely for the combat, and that alot of players just want to be immersed in the fiction of this intriguing universe one last time. Thank you...
No steam is no sale for me, I love me some ME, but EA has screwed the pooch once too many, Fuck U EA, Fuck origin.
@Browneye
No, I prefer the first one over the second and I agree, it's no longer an RPG, it's just another TPS, then I begin to wonder whether that's what bioware really wanted or whether EA "pointed" them in that direction.

@ Everyone complaining about Origin:
Do you guys always repeat everything you hear? You sound like god damned parrots. I have BF3 on PC and I have yet to have to deal with Origin. WHY? Because it runs in the background and never ONCE bothers me about any error message or DRM or notification. You people are just idiots if you think Origin is any different than Steam.

@Mr. Andy Dixon/ Mrdraven
That certainly isn't what happened with the Gamestop gear for Mass Effect 2. I'm still waiting for a chance to get that stuff.

I do not think Origin is fundamentally any different than Steam, but as a consumer I have a choice whether to buy or not buy a product that uses Origin. As of now, I do not have anything personally against Origin, but I do not feel it is unreasonable to have a semi-cold shouldered approach to the service.
I am not sold on Origin in terms of long term pricing, dlc pricing, community support for the platform, third-party developer support, EA's own support/decision making, and overall need to have more digital distribution stores beyond Steam, GoG, D2D (now owned by Gamefly, right?), Desura, Amazon, Impluse (Now owned by Gamestop, if I am not mistaken), GamersGate, and OnLive. As a consumer I tend to try and consolidate my shopping for my own convenience and safety. I do not want to have multiple accounts tied to my bank accounts in which I have to remember passwords and usernames, plus hope they do not get breached along with my credit card info. Once you have dealt with a mild case of identity theft like myself from digital distribution stores (iTunes in my case), you tend to take a cautious approach.

lol the day dlc get's me to pre order a game.
You know after I watched the trailer of mass effect 3 from the VGAs, all I hope is that the game has some sort of semblance to an rpg, and not some cinematic set piece romp. The trailer really told me where bioware wants things headed, and what audience they are trying to appeal to.
Bioware disappoints, and the funny thing is that they already had an incredible following for the original, there was no necessity to try and make it into something that appealed towards your average CoD or gears player in order to get more sales, considering the sales are already there.

Though I am interested, if anything to finish the dam trilogy and move on.

No, I'm too busy boycotting all ESA members.

Remember when $50 got us the whole game?
Now $60 gets us maybe 80% of it, and only if we pay it by an imaginary deadline.

There is more wrong with Origin than just the client. It seems the biggest issue was their shitty inexperienced customer service turning minor annoyances into big problems.
I bought Mass Effect 2 Deluxe Edition on Origin and it wouldn't download. It'd get about half way and I'd get an error. And of course it never kept a temporary cache of the data I had already downloaded, so I had to start from scratch every time, only to have it fail. This wouldn't have been such a problem if someone at EA could actually help me instead of jerking me around over and over again.
I dealt with all sorts of knuckleheads through their customer service for over a week and had them do everything from delete all my games from my account to have my CD keys permanently blocked until I was issued new ones (by a completely different representative). I was told it was a problem with my Internet (even though I already downloaded both Dragon Age games), I was told that my computer was not compatible with the Origin software, and I was even called a liar and was accused of trying to trick them out of a CDkey. And there's no telling how many times I had my chat disconnected for no reason.
It was It was pure fucking madness. After a week of this shit, one guy decided to replace the Deluxe Edition with the vanilla version, which did the trick (after being told over and over that it was a problem on my end). I was finally able to download and play Mass Effect 2, but to this day, I have not been refunded the difference for the cheaper version or given the keys needed to access the Deluxe Edition bonuses. After an experience like that, I'd be stupid not to be reluctant about buying from those assholes again.
So when I say "fuck Origin," I genuinely and justifiably mean it.
I don't know what everyone else's problems are, though.
