I hope the date keeps. I can’t wait.
I still have to finish Mass Effect 1 before I can play Mass Effect 2, so I have yet to see if it lives up to the hype. Maybe by the time Mass Effect 3 rolls around I will be up to speed.
Mass effect 2′s ending gives me chills every time i play it. The music with the explosions mixed with the cliff hanger leading to the third….i dont think i have ever had goose bumps for so long. I am so ready to finish the fight.
Man your not the only one!! I’ve replayed Mass Effect 2 many times just to see that final mission. The music, the atmosfere, the dialog and the way the game ends on final CGI makes me feel like i’m watching Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back again. Mass Effect 3 already has me pumped for it juist by showing my dear England beeing attacked. The Reapers just made it personal!!!
Strangely the first thing I thought after seeing the trailer was that I want that guy in my party.
Mass Effect 3 is going to be so sweet, Honestly being able how my choices will affect the end like how will the rachni come into play will I finally be able to pimp slap that turian on the council will liara finally come back, will anderson come back for one more mission. OMG i cant wait
Mass Effect 1 redefined Sci-Fi shooters, let alone a freakin’ RPG. Mass Effect 2 cut down on the RPG elements a bit but amped the action factor to a Heavenly degree. I hope Bioware realizes the good from one and two and make three the perfect game. Oh well, let’s wait and see! Still day one purchase for me though!
Aslong as I can continue the game on my PC, they can release it on whatever console they want. And it gives more change to have the game, everbody wins.
I’m happy with the release date. Don’t get me wrong, I love ME and I want to play the final story, but when I realize it’s the last one… — tears in my eyses… I’m sure there will be DLCs, but… you know, it’s the end…
So there’s about a year to the grand finale… Great, I can play ME1 and ME 2 again, and again, and…
I think its nice that they show a world under attack NOT situated in the USA for once
