So, I know its a dumb question but will the female Sheperd have her own story-line and campaign? Or will it be the same and you'll choose which one you wanna play with?

its the same story you just choose which one you want to play as.

The story will be the same, but it's nice they now have an official fem Shep.

That 20 minute trailer looks good, seems the cinematic graphics have been tightened. The gameplay itself is just same old ME, which is fine, don't expect anything else.

I'm debating whether to play the demo or not. I really, really want to play it because I'm really excited for ME3 and I can't wait much longer. But I don't want to ruin the experience by playing through the opening level. Not to mention that without the rest of the game, the demo will be a huge tease and I won't be able to get it out of my head until I get my hands on the full game.

Decisions, decisions...

Anyone know what time the demo is going to be released tomorrow?

Expected release times. (Note, we do not have the exact times so the demo could be earlier or later than indicated.)

  • PC - Approximately 10am PST
  • Xbox 360 - Approximately 2am PST
  • Playstation 3 - Approximately 4pm PST

So I made the mistake of playing the demo...and now I can't get it out of my head. The small taste of Single Player was awesome. The first section at the beginning of the game was giving me goose bumps. The music and the grandeur of it all was amazing. The second section wasn't as epic, but still a lot of fun.

This game is going to rule my life. I should have known before playing the demo, but now I'm absolutely sure.

I also should have known that you need an Origin account to play the multiplayer. That is so lame. I refuse to sign up for Origin as I don't need yet another videogame account. All of this proprietary account BS needs to stop. I have a Live and PSN account, why couldn't they just use those?

I was just about to post that, Knightwolf20024. I can't wait to see the full trailer on the 19th. Anyway, the PC demo should be released in about two hours (12 PM PST/3 PM EST).

EDIT: People are reporting that the PC demo is out right now. It looks like only some people in Europe can download it.

For anyone who wants a link: http://store.origin....ree-games-en_US

You have to make an origin account (if you don't have one) and download/install origin (both can be done through that link if you click Get It Now on the ME3 demo area).

I really wish EA wouldn't be so picky about their delivery service, never had any major problems with Steam myself, but instead EA has to release their own similar delivery system and force people to use it to play their games......will definitely uninstall it once I'm done the demo though.

EDIT: At least the speeds are good, solid 2.1MB/s down (only paying for 10Mbps, which is 1.25MB/s), surprised its not slow with the amount of people likely downloading the demo right now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
