I'm excited. I was going to pay off the rest of my preorder today. But I bought a new game and will pay the rest later.
I'm playing Mass Effect 2 right now though. Borrowed from a friend.
ImMisterMeeseeksLookAtMee
Hey
LittleAldy
I've stopped over hyping myself about video games, and started just enjoying them for what they are. So much less rage in my life.
pndeering
TAKE ALL MY UPVOTES!!!!!!!

No shit? Ah fuck so excited I forgot I pre ordered
NotenoughTP
It went Gold today... we had scotch.

23 if you have a VPN that can make Origin think you're in South Korea.
I wouldn't risk it with EA overlord
I've done it for both Origin and Steam on multiple releases. Plus, how can they prove you didn't fly over there yourself? HARDCORE
SaltismySugar
Fuuuuuuuck, I still haven't finished Mass Effect 3!!
the12thletter
When you see Marauder Shields, remember that his purpose is to save you from the ending.
Butane9000
You poor soul, try to survive the shit ending.
Idk, all my friends that finished it said it was the right ending for the series. Maybe not happy but right.
Bacxaber
I agree with your friends.
Felryn
same. when i finally got around to play it, i made a mistake that transcended back to an action in mass effect 2 so i had to replay it..
then i didnt even finish because i wanted to actually beat ME1 and not rage quit on matriarch benezia.
Lol I made mistakes in 2 well but I didn't want to replay stuff. It felt like it would defeat the purpose of a choice based game.
Super90nova
I am literally on the final mission, I sold my xbox ages ago and had to restart the whole series on PS3 just to finish now
Dedication, that's what that is.
BovineLeader
I LOVE SHOOTING ME SOME PYJAKS!!!!

Developers stated the smallest area in ME:A is still bigger than the largest area in DA:I. The hype is absolutely real for me right now

It all went downhill after Mass Effect 2, that said.... this GIF is pretty dope
AlmightyChickenWilly
My favourite ME3 DLC.
KommentarBauer
Lol, i wouldn't say one game can be cosidered down hill. Both good games imo.
fracturematt
I thought Mass Effect 3 was great... all the way until that ending which I'm still trying to convince myself it was a prank.
RogueKitsune
The EC's disappointing, but bearable, but the original one... I still legit do not understand how anyone thought that was a good idea.
Tali's the only member of the crew who knows how to dance.
Maybe, combat in ME3 was the best in the series tho
SmokiestLemming
I agree. It felt a lot smoother to me than in ME1
ME1 was fucking rough in terms of controls and combat
Yea that's true but the story is a huge part of the greatness that was the Mass Effect series before ME3. They sacrificed that for sequels
ChiefSokka
Some of the missions in 3 are the best in the series storywise, like the genophage arc or the Quarian/Geth, war 3 is my favourite of the 3
TheNeverEndingNameHaJustKidding
*SPOILER* Seeing the Geth and quarians work things out on top of legion's sacrifice was such a feels overload
DerpyWerm
And I know Chief already mentioned it, but damn, the climax of the genophage arc.. RIP Mordin
RetroBlast
I wasn't on Imgur for the last one - was it a shitstorm?
PreciousPotato
Just because people were disappointed in the ending. *eyeroll* Seriously, you can't mention ME without someone ranting about it.
wlfman
for real, 99% of the game was perfection and people only remember the 1% that was "bad" - with all the dlc it's perfect imo
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
The gameplay was fun. The plot was garbage.
agree to disagree, all 3 are still my top 3 favorite games *shrug*
joer5835
Citadel DLC made up big time for that shitty ending. Now I just pretend that the party is the actual ending, which makes it a lot better.
for me the epilogue did that, but yeah the Citadel is wonderful
'We've had a good ride.' 'The best.' Ahhh man the feels during that scene.
No, the ending still destroys the entire game by relegating major series plot points and game play choices to be worthless.
if they accounted for every single major plot point and game choice there would have been over 1000 endings, easily, and they'd never finish
Well, they originally promised 16, and "not just an A, B, or C ending", and then they shipped only one ending with three color filters, so..

NotVino
Y tho. Mass Effect is an amazing series and everything I've watched/read about the new one points to it being as great
Imadeanaccounttofavandforget
If you haven't played it, the last 15 minutes of ME3 shits on the whole trilogy. Their extended cut did little to improve this.
Who cares though? One bad ending doesn't mean the whole series wasn't amazing to play. The new one won't even have anything to do with it.
When you make a series that bases everything on the choices you make through the story, and end it with "none of your choices matter" 1/2
You lose the trust of thousands of fans. You can find plenty of videos on YouTube that support this. 2/2
Here, have a preview. Why the heck do I get it two days later just because I'm in Europe? Fuck you, BioWare for staggering your releases!!
I don't believe it will reach the levels of "Shitshow 2012"

Wait, what happened in 2012?

Swe3tJe3bus
I liked the ending.
I enjoyed it. But I was upset that there were not more significant differences through the 3 endings.
I was always dead set on destroying the Reapers so to me I only had one choice. RIP EDI and Legion.

I'm so excited, but the previews I've seen make me honestly worried it'll be complete shit.

Daily reminder:
I'm surprised people still care about graphics so much. As long as the story and gameplay are good, who cares?
This isn't a "good graphics" nitpick, this is a "You turned a gorgeous looking model into a bug-eyed, man-jawed, mutant" nitpick.
Normally I'd agree, but when better graphics == worse looking characters, something's gone sideways in development.
SummersSR2
Yea they faces look a little disappointing, although photoshopping an image and creating a 3d model are two different thing completely
JarlPastrami
I think 3D modelling is a little different to dicking around in photoshop
Meanwhile in Poland with half the funding and manpower:
Witcher 3 is newer and was probably in development longer, though in truth I don't know when they started development of w3
TweakerTheBarbarian
Maybe you need to sit in the corner with the reminder box for a while.
lolageo1
i don't know, mass effect 3 was my favourite game despite the ending fiasco, but hopefully Andromeda will match it
SaraFourImgur
Shhhhhh don't discourage Nintendo. I can't take another flop console.
shathorei
Lol, I am browsing random and you sir predicted the future.
Mycologics
I enjoyed no man's sky. I don't go with hype. I expect nothing. It was amusing but got a little dull after a while. The update was cool
But still dull after a while. I've spent hours on it. To be fair the game should've never been 60 euros
PaliQ
I feel the same. I still love it, and I can't wait to see what they add- it shouldn't have been released as a complete title though.
FartingDragon
*Hands over Scalebound* There. Now i can relate. *cries*
TheGame21x
Except, barring a couple bits of data and the last 5 minutes of Mass Effect 3, the Mass Effect series has been fantastic. ME2 is one of my
personal favorite games of all time. Bioware's earned its hype by delivering time after time.
HistoricalContext
Someone didn't play Dragon Age: Inquisition. Massive disappointment, and I'm praying that Bioware learned a lesson from it.
TheLDMan
DA:I was great, honestly. Main story was rather uninspired, but I loved the characters and interactions. Crafting and side stuff tho, yeah
I really meant in terms of Mass Effect. I haven't played any of the Dragon Age games, actually, even though I've been interested
I'll begrudgingly admit, most of 3 was passable, but how they responded to criticism is what I can't forgive them for.
I loved 3. It was a damn fine conclusion (until it wasn't) and I every character I cared about was given a proper send-off. Heck I even
enjoyed the multiplayer with my other Mass Effect fanboy friends. I do agree that Bioware's response to the outcry was awful though.
joshyjosh
It's mass effect. Don't you DARE compare that shit to NMS
No Man's Sky was doomed from the start, over-promised and over-hyped
sirkickass77
I knew something was wrong when they said things would be procedurally generated and people got way hyped over that
FortunateHive
Yeah considering how little I've heard about hype for Andromeda I'm excited but also scared
I still really like it. It's wonderful for my ADD. I can wander around doing nothing for hours, just cataloging creatures.
DelaysAction
And overpriced. I think more people would be ok with what they got had the price been a lot lower.
MCSch0ck
With Andromeda out, you need to hold the box... Friendly reminder :^)
ThatOneDemon
Thankfully EA makes great games and Mass Effect will be great. Everything is great. Great.
Laynal
it saddens me to see that 59 people at this time think that Mass Effect was developed by EA...
cheeseguy3412
Swtor lost all their good writers a while back, they all went to ME Andromeda. I'm actually kinda confident in this one.Not preordering tho
EA no man, EA's Bitches
NotNotDeadpool

...which is owned by and answers to EA.
Mass Effect was always great :^)
KaneVel
The ending of 3 would like to have a word.
Morladim
The ending was fine, and took nothing away from the overall game
sleetewayne
Yeah, it's a great thing Bioware only ever released two of them.
VeggieWombat
Ensuring that they will have massive day1 sales even if it's utter crap. Don't preorder, or day1. Give it a few days.

I sense wisdom in this.
I agree. But I lost all faith after the shit they pulled with 3's ending.
My main problem with ME3 was the overuse of my poor spacebar.
They were rushed by EA, now it seems they've been given the time they need
dopey
Amen. Friend of mine is keeps talking about Andromeda, but I just want another one as good as me2
StalinForTime
Smart move, it was dog shit.
ScumCommander
Doesn't help that they're no longer doing the renegade/paragon system.
Ah yes, the "kill off one of your friend's species because you don't embody one archetype enough" system. Loved it, great narrative building
To be honest, I didn't really love the system. It was good, but it was pretty binary at times.
Personally, I am happy that is gone. It was also central to Shepard as a character. New characters require a new outlook.
