It's so ironic, games no one ever heard don't get a demo, but a game people know is great gets a demo. Make up your mind, EA! (and drop Origin, or I'll sadly have to skip this)

Kind of kick in the bollocks for hardcore gamers this date is IMO..

 

[homerhellboy223]

of course, it's not a pc demo...

I wonder if we will still be able to use our save files from ME2 when this thing is released? I was bored with ME2 when I played the first time, until I found a save file online that made all the same decisions that I did. It expanded the game quite a bit.

Eff Electronic Arts!

I love Bioware games. I love the Mass Effect Universe. I'm also a PC gamer.

This last statement does not bode well for my Mass Effect future.

I refuse to submit to EA and their forcing of Origin down the customer's throat. If EA were more gamer-friendly I might not take that stance. If EA had better customer service I might not take this stance. If EA offered a digital download service that offered the customer something of value, I might take a different stance. Instead they are punishing the paying customer by forcing this sub-par "service".

Well I choose not to be a customer anymore. Sorry Bioware.

Now there's a demo for the console crowd....yeh...F! Electronic Arts!

 

[NapoleonDK]

Sorry, but they got the picture wrong. This game is all about FemShep.

I do wonder why they are releasing a demo for the 3rd installment of what was certainly a very satisfying series. Most anyone who is gonna be interested in ME:3 has already played 1 and 2. Just release the game already!

Looking forward to actually trying it now that they are including coop.

So I'm guessing you don't like Steam either? Games like the Call of Duty series being Steam exclusive - how dare they shove Steam down our throats. I bought a boxed copy of MW2 and the disc was useless because of Steam. Asinine. Origin and Steam are one in the same - everyone I know hated Steam when it came out, now everyone swears by it. Maybe you don't like competition? Someone to challenge pricing of Steam and Impulse. I've had zero problems with Origin since BF3 came out so I'm not sure why some are aggravated by something new. Problems others have are answered on Forums by EA employees so your problem isn't about customer service since you suggest you haven't used Origin.

I bought BF3, knowing origin was required. But I wanted to give EA the benefit of the doubt. Origin couldn't really be THAT bad could it? It was, and it is. I've learned my lesson, and as long as ME3 is an origin exclusive game, I won't be paying for it.

 

[ojas]

They're releasing a demo because they want to test co-op, i believe.

 

[CaedenV]

this will ruin relationships

Why oh why can't I find a woman who would define herself as a gamer? Why oh why must it come out that day? **** it, I will just flip a coin.

My girl is addicted to The Sims and enjoys RPG's, but she can still hold her own on Halo: Reach. God forbid she gets sprint/gravity hammer combo. x_x

Thanks for the spoiler... NOT.

Cheers! >_>'

 

[spasmolytic46]

I don't care until the Origin requirement goes away

 

[Gamer-girl]

What's the difference between kinect voice command and just using a mic + voice recognition software?

P.S. not all gamer girls wear glasses, just like not all guys.

I got the CE of SWTOR on physical media (how quaint!), the physical goodies like the "doll" and the book are a nice enough touch. I have Origin installed, but I don't run it. I downloaded the client from the website (and it has been patched so many times, the content on the DVDs was obsolete before it shipped). I betcha you can do the same with ME3.
Origin does suck. I tried to gift a buddy a copy of SWTOR via Origin - couldn't. It's not much improved from the "EA Store" days. It's no Steam, not that Steam is all that - but it does a much better job. So, I don't really see how Origin is a complete deal breaker if you can access the game launcher without going through Origin (as you can with SWTOR, I guess).
