[QUOTE=reecematee;34942930]Hi has your copy shown up in origin, I did the same last wednesday and apparently it wont show until 2 days before, but from what ive heard it is showing as unreleased for most.[/QUOTE] It shows up on mine. [IMG_thumb]http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/darkrei9n/me3.png[/IMG_thumb] Tempted to cancel and wait until I get some more money so I can get the DDE though.
[QUOTE=reecematee;34942930]Hi has your copy shown up in origin, I did the same last wednesday and apparently it wont show until 2 days before, but from what ive heard it is showing as unreleased for most.[/QUOTE] Some people are getting their copies show up in Origin, some people aren't. I ordered a week ago, my copy isn't in Origin, someone ordered yesterday and his is. I don't get it at all, Origin is such a piece of shit. I'm tempted to cancel and try and re-order it to see if it fixes it.
I've read the spoiler tags, but I'm not really fazed by it. I enjoyed 1 and 2, and even if the spoilers end up being true it's not going to stop me from enjoying the trilogy. Hell, all of the games in the Sands of Time trilogy have their faults, but I enjoy them all the same.
Haven't read spoiler tags, only spoiler I heard was the one with the DLC character + his voice.
[QUOTE=mac338;34943121]Haven't read spoiler tags, only spoiler I heard was the one with the DLC character + his voice.[/QUOTE] You should read them whilst you have time, because that's what it takes, to deal with what's wrong about them. I'm almost getting over it how they took the [sp]mass[/sp] out of Mass Effect.

Though I'm still going to enjoy the fuck out of ME3.
[QUOTE=Volgan;34943049]even if the spoilers end up being true[/QUOTE] They are true, I've seen the cut scenes. However "true" depends on who/what your source is.
Only play.com, zavvi and Thehut will have the defender pack. They are all sold out of the Collectors edition. Thanks GAME, now i miss out on that pre-order bonus, which was the reason for ordering from there in the first place - that £5 voucher really makes up for it though! :suicide:

[QUOTE=Jmir 54;34943301]Is that snot coming out of her nostril?[/QUOTE] It's obviously a reflection off of the corner of the mask.
[QUOTE=Jmir 54;34943301]Is that snot coming out of her nostril?[/QUOTE] I guess it's just the the edge of her breather mask, but snot sounds good as well.
[QUOTE=revan740;34942583]Found it awkward that [sp]Shepard and Cortez had the same body model, but different hues. It's like he slept with his nemesis.[/sp] Also, I'm concerned about the lack of conversation options... There were only 2 options every time you could choose. [B] But holy fuck did Meer step up his voice acting game.[/B][/QUOTE] So the idea that Meer has been steadily improving while Hale has oscillated between average and bored is true? Or has Hale stepped up her game as well.
After reading this thread and seen every spoiler tag there is to see I only have one thing left to say. Fuck that shit, I'll buy the game in a year or two when the price has fallen to 19.99€ or something.
[QUOTE=revan740;34942704]I should have phrased that differently. What you said about the conversations coming before; hopefully there's quite a bit more like in ME1/ME2. Not just because I want it, but because I'm just a bit skeptical because of the "Action" play through introduction.[/QUOTE] BioWare probably made romances simplier (to the point of shit-dumb). Mass Effect 2 was dodgy at best - one wrong move in the dialogue and whoops, you're fucking someone. Miranda was the only one to have logical romance. Every other romances for both femshep and maleshep were just like 'fuck me pleeeeeease'. A lot of people were pissed at that.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;34943370]So the idea that Meer has been steadily improving while Hale has oscillated between average and bored is true? Or has Hale stepped up her game as well.[/QUOTE] Reviewers seem to say Hale has improved in ME3 but they also said she improved in ME2. It's a shame, usually she's a pretty decent VA but she doesn't seem to be able to get the neutral Shepard voice down very well at all.

I talked to origin live support (Little gear/cog - origin help-live support if you want a go) and they said that it would be in my games list 2 days before release, I don't even know, why some people are getting it and some people aren't i will never know, all this does is make me feel like not buying from origin again ( i have no problems with it, i got bf3 from it, which worked fine) but i would rather have the assurance that it is there in my account, rather than just be left with nothing, like steam, i've pre ordered a couple games and they come into my account instantly, no problems anytime, this is the first thing i have pre ordered on origin and it doesn't fill me with hope.

I don't have any faith either tbh, I'm worried it gets to release day and nothing is on my account and nothing is there to play. I'm wondering something are you from the US or Europe? The reason I ask is that everyone with the game on Origin seems to be from the USA, but people from other places don't seem to have it at all.

They say that the game will be in my games list two days before release, which here is the 9th, so on the 7th, if it isn't in my games list, i will talking to support again and if they can not produce a reason why ill just cancel the order and buy retail. it's lucky, i was reading the fine print and under some eu laws, we have 30 days to cancel the pre order, get the money back no questions asked, and as it would of only been 14 days then i will definitely be doing that.
I'm not pre ordering the game and I probably wont pick it up right away either. Which is a bit sad considering how often I post here

By that time though everywhere will be sold out of collectors editions and you'll be stuffed, good luck getting it on the Friday too. This whole thing is a total farce. Did you order it from the Origin Webstore or Origin itself?
This thread has became a nuclear bomb. Ill be back after I play ME3.
Going to try my luck at the local Gamestop and see if I can pre-order a copy of ME3, hell I'll probably get the CE if possible (I've gotten the CE for ME1 and ME2, why stop at ME3?)

Guys, Play.com have the PC Collector's Edition back up! [url]http://www.ea.com/uk/n7playwarfare[/url]
Anything wrong with buying it on Origin?
[QUOTE=mac338;34944786]Anything wrong with buying it on Origin?[/QUOTE] Some people supposely report that their copies didn't show up on their account, and that the technical support just ignored them Dunno wether that's true or not
Hm, I think I'll take my chances.

Im really hoping to see it on my list on wednesday, i can not be bothered going through their support again, took me 3 days to get to ''the game will be in your account 2 days before release''
