Wow time flies...its coming out tomorrow. Will be nice!

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Get here already, you freakin' 6th

[thefonz]

I know, feels like an age away..still due to the time different our American friends are only getting it a day earlier. As to getting yourself a Collectors Edition on launch day, considering alot of people cancelled their pre-orders over the Origin debarkle (for the PC version) and the more recent Prothean DLC debarkle, I'd say your chances of grabing a copy on Thursday are pretty good (Y).

I'm just looking forward to the e-mail saying my N7 CE has shipped tomorrow.

[(Spork)]

debating on going to the midnight release :D to pick mine up tonight

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Just contacted my supplier and he said your N7 Deluxe Edition will arrive on 8th.

I was like :s

:cry:

3 more days?

[soniqstylz]

Kinda lame <Snipped>

WOW, wtf that's not "kinda" lame, that's complete bull****.

Now I wish I hadn't watched that. Yeah "spoilers", but the video says "Launch Trailer".

Played the Mass Effect 3 demo and started thinking I should probably get the other 2 and play thru those. I'll play thru it some more tonight but it seemed pretty good. If anything i'll at least try finding ME2.

[Noveed]

Shipped :D

Get in N7 edition whoop whoop!

[rajputwarrior]

it can no problem. i have the same card. if you look up a bunch of benchmarks our card has more horsepower then a 6850 and if you OC it a bit it's faster then a 6870.

people who have used this garbage called origin before... do they do midnight releases? I.E. can I play me3 tonight at midnight?

It's really unfortunate that you were spoiled by that video disguised as a launch trailer. :( I removed the link so no one else can get spoiled.

What was spoiler-ish about it?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

What was spoiler-ish about it?

I don't know for sure. I just heard a voice and assumed it was the ending of Mass Effect 3. Fortunately for me, I only watched a couple of seconds of it.

EDIT: For those that preloaded ME3 on Origin, you can unlock it with FLYVPN (see here). Some people did the same thing when Battlefield 3 was launched earlier in regions outside of North America and Europe. :D

Yes.

I played Battlefield 3 on the night before the release.

You might wanna check your region as some regions will have access sooner than others

[Knightwolf20024]

if you want to play it early you can use a hong kong proxy to bypass the release check and download the unencrypted .exe now. just make sure your origin account is in offline mode untill its released in your area. i just did this and it worked fine.

[Knightwolf20024]

take back earth trailer with femshep

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Alright guys I'm tired of waiting. I'm gonna freeze myself in a block of ice and need someone to melt me when my package gets here tomorrow.

Like Cartman did in South Park, when he was waiting for Wii? You don't wanna end up like him

:rofl:

5850 is slightly faster than 6850 and 6850 gets 90+fps in High Detail in 1920x1080, how is that not promising?

Don't worry Butters isn't the one unfreezing me.

he's probably not as knowledgeable as us about the hardware and is going by the model numbers only ;)

like i mentioned earlier

You should definitely play through the first two, even before you play ME3. They provide a hell of a lot of back story as to what will be going on, and using your previous saves from ME and ME2 will affect how ME3 plays out (meaning that we'll all have different games depending on our choices in the previous game(s)). Some differences may prove quite game changing too. :)

On top of that, they're also epic games. Some of the later cutscenes in ME2 aren't just good for a game, they put a lot of movies to shame too. I'm currently replaying them both (lost my previous saves) to catch up before ME3 comes out, I'm not going to make it (still a few days left of ME2 to go), but frankly I don't care, since I'm thoroughly enjoying playing them.
