To be fair to Ashley, she's a Spectre now, so she can wear whatever the hell she wants.Elmoth said:

My reasons for not buying ME3 until convinced otherwise are mostly game-related instead of published/dev hate
1. I immensely dislike the new combat system, which (for me) has ruined most of the replay value of the games from ME2 on.
2. The story from ME1 seemed fairly self-contained, which I figured out from ME2 being an exercise in building friendships, shooting things, and faffing about
3. Global cooldowns for biotic abilities: It really reduces the appeal of being a psychic super-soldier when you have to wait through an absurdly long cooldown to use any of your powers despite having only used one. I preferred ME1's separate cooldowns for each power.
4. Even in ME2, there was a sharp decrease in the ability to investigate plot points and learn more about characters. Some may not have liked it, but I loved having the option to spend 20 minutes listening to every detail of each character's life.
5. Immersion: Partially because of the combat system and partially because of the decrease in story content, I find replaying ME2 to be more of a chore than fun, while replaying ME1 is still freaking awesome. The planet-mining minigame is horrendous, and has actually given me a great appreciation for the MAKO. Sure, it controlled horribly, but it was incredibly immersive if you just pretended that Shepard was a terrible driver.
6. Genre-shift: It became quite apparent to me in ME2 that the series had shifted from being an RPG with shooter elements to a straight shooter with RPG elements. I preferred the former.
7. Lack of customization: I actually enjoyed using a real inventory system to manage weapons and upgrades. It gave me an insane amount of control over my experience and let me build my dream team right down to the armor. Skill training more complicated than damage buffs also helped, since you had to be careful with your skill points to build the best soldier possible.
Note: These are my own personal opinions and should not be taken as objective facts. We're all entitled to our own loves or grievances about the game.

I honestly cannot tell if you are some kind of hyper intelligent long range planning master joker who has been setting up this entire forum with your "raging" all for this one brilliantly ironic post...Zeel said:
Or are just kind of silly.
I laughed so hard at your 2nd point...
Just wait until the game comes out. Then we can pick out the shit from the rainbows.Zeel said:
OT: I didn't see anything wrong in the demo (other than the fact that they didn't put one Renegade or Paragon action sequence in it - they are still in the game, right?).
i didn't keep Ashley alive, so no worries hahaha
glad i preordered N7 Edition for all the extra goodies! super excited for everything!!!!!

As far as I can tell from the demo, all seems to work fine.
It actually runs on my PC at a workable level, the combat works as fine as it did in ME 2, the new health system will take some getting used to but it atleast makes my Medi-Gel worth a damn this time instead of being the "resurrect team" button. I like some of the new guns like the shotgun and semi-auto assault rifle from the second demo mission.
I've still got the niggling feeling that this game is going to be a lot more human-centric than the others (mostly from the trailers) but then the demo took us to the Salarian home-world fighting with Garrus and Liara with Mordin and Wrex doing their things in the background so this may just be the trailers screwing me around a bit.
I am annoyed that Bioware is pulling the "dead child, so you should feel sad" card (not once, but twice!). Last time I checked everyone from here to the moon was getting spray painted on the walls with Reapers, I'd much more focus on the bigger picture that EVERYONE is getting torn apart, not just this one kid who annoyed me the second I saw him. It's one step above "Child Immortality" but can we please just let them add to the bodycount WITHOUT getting any special treatment?
But hey: iT'5 aw3s00m cuZ 1T'5 Bioware! (Just to spite that guy who I don't know that always appears on the ME3 threads!)

Eh, I've had some success with the human soldier, though I now know how I SHOULD have designed him. I shouldn't have maxed out the adrenaline rush or fitness, with those points I could have raised frag grenade and concussive shot without losing out much.boag said:
For one, adrenaline rush is decent, it adds more damage for your weapon, which is good when you need to kill that phantom about the stab your face. But without the time dilation of singleplayer I find it less useful, it's mostly useful up close where you need to pour shots into an atlas or something.
The soldier can also carry a lot of stuff, so you can aim for the heavier weapons without losing too much power recharge. (I for one mostly use the revenant, but I seem to be in the minority.)
And boy, those skills can be powerful. The frag grenade not only hits a large area, but does a lot of damage, so you can nearly clear out an entire room with one good toss. Then we have the concussive shot that has can so swiftly be reloaded that you can spam them at enemies. The enemies can't shoot back at you when knocked over for once...and the concussive shot is excellent against the thing you really hate...the phantoms. Oh you have a barrier, huh? Well say hello to my little explosive friend...
As to the topic...not really, then again you don't see much in the singleplayer, and I can't compare to any ME2 multiplayer. I did dislike how there was stuttering during the first half of the singleplayer though...but I'm guessing it's gone by the time the real game comes out.
All the moaning about ME3 lately you would have thought Bioware had sacrificed a baby or something. lol.
If i had to chose one thing, its that they added another new human to the group. The human team members were the most boring and uninteresting characters in the game. Rather have Grunt or Legion as a full time team member, or add a Volus as a playable character than another human.

Nothing that I know of.
Combat has been improved drastically, it's a lot faster and you move out of cover more often.
The difficulty has been heightened, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm playing it first on narrative difficulty, but insanity on my next playthrough will be a *****. (for the sake of a single achievement, obviously.)
I enjoyed multiplayer a lot more than I thought I would.
I don't follow IGN so I have no quarrel with this Chobot lady.
Ashley died on my in my save file so I guess I don't have to look at her face.
Having a Prothean squadmate will be fun to have.

Or perhaps they could of just released them seperately maybe... that could of been a wiser thing to do if memory is the problem with the demo.Darkmantle said:
