I'm just unwilling to take the chance. EA's policy on DRM doesn't seem to have changed. And Origin is still too buggy for my liking.

[Gloriano]

Maybe I'm blind but i can't see the problem people are having with Origin isn't it exactly same as steam? but unlike steam the origin seems to be at beta stage still

i think it has more to do with the fact that people trust Valve, as opposed to EA.

Launch Trailer

Sure it will likely be hammy, but least it looks like it will be spiral with delicious honey maple glaze and sugar coating.

It's just frakkin awesome sauce. I see most people hate the endings, but I have managed not to spoil myself too badly and I will make it till the end of it unscathed. I won't expect a marvel plot (not Bioware's stronger point) concerning the reapers. Ever since the conduit plot that my expectations aren't that high anyway (not that it is a plot hole, it's just anticlimatic).

[Gloriano]

Don't know what the ending will be but it's all out galactic scale war against a vastly superior enemy there can't be a happy ending with pink bunnies and such

what is TIM's plan anyhow? other than "HUMIES ROOL ALIENZ DROOL!"




that bit just felt a bit out of place in that trailer.

* pecenipicek goes back to finish ME2...

[Liberator]

Ok so a happy ending is out

Spoiler:

But is it too much to ask for an ending that doesn't result in disaster or the end of humanity?

Definitely. Because no ending can be enjoyable if humanity isn't eliminated.

[Luis Dias]

omg Multiplayer is sooooooo adicting!!!

[Grizzly]

Please try and keep the spoilers down... It is enough for me that I should look to a "Freespace Happy Ending"...

[MatthTheGeek]

Freespace isn't happy enough. Humanity is still there at the end, unfortunately.

omg Multiplayer is sooooooo adicting!!!

You'll see, it becomes less addictive once all your classes are at level 20 and your veteran packs don't give you anything 90% of the time because you've already unlocked all the uncommons :/

[Kszyhu]

Yeah, that 'random' unlock system has its disadvantages. I've received the same race/class combo five times in a row, even when the class was at max level and with no locked customization options left.

[phatosealpha]

Of course, it probably won't be so bad when the full game launches.  Considerably more unlockables available, and we're still not entirely sure how promotion to the single player war works. 

[The E]

So, good and bad news:

Bad news is that the multiplayer demo will be killed on monday.

Good news is that, until then, drop rates for class/race combos have been increased, and that that increase will carry over to the full game.

[MatthTheGeek]

and that that increase will carry over to the full game.

...seriously ?

Have they given any reason why ? Doesn't make much sense to me.

[Kszyhu]

I presume Bioware noticed common complaints about the unlock system, so instead of deeper redesign, they've changed one value somewhere.

My god, that was hilarious. Played with the right attitude, this game is going to be awesome.

I totally agree. There was genuinely awesome **** in there and then there were death to bioware lines like 'Everyone has to be ready to die! If you can't do that, you might as well be already dead!'

thanks shep, you're the smartest

[MatthTheGeek]

That game is a 80s-era B serie movie with sh*tty one liners. We all know we're gonna enjoy it nevertheless
