Anyone else playing the demo of this?

Multiplayer looks like being fun.

Yep I have been, great demo gives you alot to do. Yet to touch the multiplayer though looks interesting, heard good things about it anyway.

According to Blues News BF3 was being bundled free with this when bought on Origin. However when I checked it didn't appear to be, might just be a US thing. But if you're planning on buying through origin it might be worth seeing if that comes here too. I loved ME and enjoyed ME2 (Though didn't get around to completing it), this should be good too.

Id recommend finishing ME3 and getting the DLC as it gives you so much info and choices that will affect ME3

If you don't have the money nor time to finish off ME 1 or 2 for pc, go to:
http://www.masseffectsaves.com/
http://www.masseffect2saves.com/
They got savegames uploaded with different story ending, choices etc.
If not, I recommoned you to play em through (ME 1 is better on story then 2, 2 is dumbed down a bit due to consoll and less story driven sorta).

Currently playing a bit of Multiplayer for the battle preperation buff, so if anyone want to coop-mp with someone, just gimme a tell ingame. Il_Duck (Origin name)

Borrowed Mass effect 2 off mate and playing it though now soooo good I'm absolutely loving it, Bioware for their faults and evil EA overlords do make stellar (get it- Bad Puns) RPG's

Soooo... for those of you who have completed the game. What do you think of this theory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythY_GkEBck)?

It is thinkable, not impossible.. have to see the coming months what comes from Bioware to be certain.

I think it is a solid theory. They could have made it vague/subtle on purpose in case there is no ME4, but this theory weather BioWares intention or not does open for more Mass Effect. A poorly executed "Inception" style ending where you don't get to see if the totem topples? Who knows.

There are quite a few discussing this here (http://social.bioware.com/forums/forum/1/topic/355/index/9727423/1), if you like a little light reading. Only a few hundred pages, closing on a thousand, of discussion ;)

Im thinking that whatever the reason, the series needs to stop. I liked playing the game, but it didnt feel as good as ME1 or ME2 so maybe some DLC's and then make a new game alltogether.

I liked it more than the previous two. And if the ID theory is correct, this just made the top of my all time games. They just put the Matrix and Inception to shame.

More on the ID theory here (http://uninhibitedandunrepentant.tumblr.com/post/19344938387/mind-holy-****). (Warning, some grown up language in this blog/link)

This is a great analysis from a writers POV on the ME3 ending.

Other issue supporting the "indoctrination theory" is that IF ure ratings in Galaxy at war and Story are high enough, U see shephard emerg from the rubble in London, no way in hell wud anyone survive the ending and land safely on a planet, no flipping way

If they actually make that stick and they will support that theory, then i agree .... i might just be the best work yet. Im not sure however, that biowares intentions are the same so that interesting to see how this will develop over time.

They have said that they worked on it and couldn't make it work in the time frame they had left. However they were vague on details on the matter. If ID theory is not what they were going for, it may well be that EA or leadership somewhere put a stop to it, and possibly by doing that ruined the whole series. If that is true then incorporating ID as free DLC now, would be a HUGE get out of jail free card for them, and land them back in the best game series of all time category.

Already watched all the added content on youtube. It is a band aid for a lost limb a month after the funeral...
