I thought the MP in 3 was fun as hell. It also keeps people playing. Obviously the single player is the main part of Mass Effect, but you can only play it so many times over before it gets stale, regardless of how good it is.

Played about two hours last night. Idk if any of you have noticed but the eye movement when characters are talking is really weird. I don't really mind the mouths not lining up with the dialogue as much as some people. But the eyes are really really odd

I like Ryder. He/she has more of a personality than Sheppard.

Yeah the eyes are definitely the worst part of the animations. It's not just how they move - they don't look real at all. They look like plastic.

It was. ME:A's is just as good or better so far for me.

I got lucky and unlocked the sidewinder pistol in my first pack purchased. Thing is a beast.

The vaults are really cool. The gameplay makes the open world nature of this game a little more palatable than Inquisition.

I haven't been following this but I loved the previous installments, especially 1. Is this worth the day 1 purchase? Any good videos I should watch?

If you loved ME1-3 you'll love this.

It isn't as good overall but it is an B+ to A- when 1&3 were A and 2 was A+

Feels like enemies hit too hard. I have 523 health and 303 shields at level 13 and grunts can do shite tons of damage to me. If one of the big guys gets in your face you're instantly dead for the most part unless their shield is down and you can cc them. Even if you're jetting and dashing away they track you perfectly. Thinking of setting the difficulty to normal instead of hardcore. Maybe I haven't kept up with the gear or something but it feels way overtuned.

One thing I have noticed is that it feels like the game rewards you for playing fast and aggressive where the previous ME installments rewarded you for playing slow and methodical.

Yes, I would say play the game as intended. I do feel like I have less survivability in this game. Shielded enemies are hard to take down.

Ryder sure doesn't have Shep game. Zero for one so far. Some ginger shut him down before he got out of the gate.

8/10 in the 3 hours I got to play last night.

They should have put an extra year into development. This game and setting should easily be a 10/10. The conversation scripts read like they were written and sometimes read by a 12 year old.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the clunky inventory/menu system in-game. It's worse than ME:1. This in addition to so many of the little things such as the ability to right click to go back in the menu, and numbered options in the conversation wheel.

So far I give the game a 6/10. Multiplayer gets a 9/10.

The multiplayer is awesome.

I'm digging on the Krogan engineer right now, got him to lvl 7 last night.

Incinerate - Overload combos, high health and shield

I carry a Sidewinder II pistol and a Disciple III shotgun. Haven't lost a match with him yet.

The romance options in this game suck worse than Inquisition.

I played for a couple of hours last night and enjoyed the combat - although I do miss being able to control my squadmates powers.

My only major complaints so far are the limited inventory space and the fact that I can't stand Cora. Why did they think that guns you aren't carrying around with you count against your max inventory was a good idea?

I'll probably bump it up to a 10/10 for multiplayer as I level up more and the difficulty curve gets easier.

I'd also like for the maps to be more diverse and not all be Firebases, but that's a minor complaint.
