ME3 demo finished

Positive points :
- Improved graphics
- Intelligent ability tree
- Shepard is more agile
- Enemies by pack of 10 rather than 6
- Stable game, no crash
- You get involved in the story
- Fights seems more interesting
- The Mass Effect license! "Hold the line"!

Still not sure points :
- Narration seems... different.
- Musics are quieter, not as epic
- Your companions are not as cool as what I remembered

Sucks a bit :
- All the NPCs seem stupid so far (Alliance)
- Shepard says random things ("We fight for survival!" -> "That's the plan?")

Yeah, everybody says that, but it doesn't work. Tried on multiple characters. On PC, btw.

Agreed. I like all the changes they made, they just fucked up the demo by not letting you change your loadout.

I didn't like the demo much. Somehow it managed to look worse in a lot of ways than the previous two games, mostly because of the art style I think. It's much more dark and generic looking.

In terms of play, the running animation looks stupid as hell. I have no idea why they decided to change it from the last game. The ability to roll is nice, especially since I prefer playing as a vanguard and anything that helps my mobility is a plus. I don't particularly like the way enemy shields/health display as compared to the previous two games. The power melee attack is cool. Most other things function pretty much as they did in the second game.

The music (from what little there was to hear in the demo) was nowhere near the quality of what we had in the first two games. The absence of Jack Wall is already very apparent.


I've been worried about ME3 turning out terrible ever since the EA merger or whatever you want to call it. Dragon Age 2 only deepened my worry because of how obviously rushed and terrible it was. The demo did not do anything to assuage my fears. I really do hope this turns out well, but my initial impressions continue to be negative.

Just finished the (very) short and easy demo. Overall I get a positive feeling although this time it feels more like an action game than ever before. Narration looks poor while dialogues are pretty bad and sometimes a bit nonsensical. In particular, I hate what they did with Wrex, he's a completely different character now.

I think the game is definitely going to be fun, and worth it's cost, but I'm not so sure about its raw epicness. It seems a bit bland for a grand finale. Obviously there's a lot to be seen, but it's just my first impressions.

npc are stupid, there are obvious holes in the me story line, first off no one believes shepard because he's the only one you saw it all. But in ME1 they talk about the helms having cams recording it all so wth? ME also had very little plot movement, the collectors aren't the reapers and all we did to stop the reapers was nothing just a small delay if you played all the dlc's


Well that's the problem with all demos they are too short, frankly i would like them to be like 3 4 hours of game play from the start of the real game when it's like a game like this to get people hooked, so they have to go out to find out what happens

My complaints have nothing to do with the length of the demo, they have to deal with the execution. And yes, demo's are meant to sell the game, what other purpose would they have.

Also, that's not really a plothole. All the "evidence" of the reapers Shepard had was

1) His talk with Sovereign. The council believed Soverign to be Geth, so it would make sense that it was trying to engage in a bit of psychological warfare.

2) Statements by Saren, who was clearly insane, and being manipulated by Sovereign. Not exactly a reliable source.

3) The computer on Ilos. Not only was it destroyed, but there was no way to verify that it was accurate.

Add in a strong political incentive to maintain the status quo and prevent unrest in the wake of an attack that almost destroyed the citadel, and it's easy to understand why the council chose to not believe Shepard.

You're going to tell me that saren to do psychological warfare built a secret prothean base with a VI just so Sheppard would stumble across it and also teleport to the beacon in the citadel.
