It felt weird to see a Cerberus trooper's head explode in the demo. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a bit jarring, considering over the top gore hasn't really been ME's thing.

I was really happy to see Wrex's natural response to confrontation in ME3 be to unleash biotics on the 'aggressors'. I mean, he's a battlemaster, he's biotic by nature, I was always a bit disappointed in ME1 that he never naturally resorted to biotics in cutscenes. It makes sense to me that would be his natural response to a threat.

[QUOTE=Raizo;34664213]I played the demo yesterday and I can't remember any exploding heads.. I must have Alzheimer's[/QUOTE] I shotgunned a trooper in the face, and it exploded. And the trailers showed snipers blowing up heads, as well as Shepard stomping a husk's head in.

Got a question about taking high resolution screenshots in ME1 and ME2 Where do I paste this "command="TiledShot 2"" ? There are several config files, it's confusing.
I just thought of the greatest irony you could possibly make in game. Kill off the Rachni in ME1 Then go full Paragon during Moridn's loyalty mission.
[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;34664061]Where's the bottom sequence? The only other sequence I saw was the one with the launch button by it and I tried that and it didn't work.[/QUOTE] That's the one, and it didn't work for me the first time either. Just try again, I guess.
So, is the demo the exact intro of the game? Its feels very rushed... Kinda disappointed. Would have liked to see some more calm time before the reapers arrived.
Also why the fuck hasn't this been explored into? [url]http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Alien[/url]
[QUOTE=Fables;34664551]Also why the fuck hasn't this been explored into? [url]http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Alien[/url][/QUOTE] This sounds really really interesting, I would pay ten bucks for a DLC mission involving this! Also, [sp]I am literally fangirling over the demo like no tomorrow, half because of the demo, and half because of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3lVO9_HW0w[/sp]
[QUOTE=Fables;34664551]Also why the fuck hasn't this been explored into? [url]http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Alien[/url][/QUOTE] Maybe it isn't expanded on because [sp]that's apparently the situation the geth find themselves in towards the end of ME3. Just a healthy dose of foreshadowing.[/sp]

[QUOTE=mercurius;34662711][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpDY06uHVds[/media] I shed a manly tear. If we only had something like this.[/QUOTE] Good thing they switched to a dark, edgy action theme in the second one, right? Of course, that being said in ME3 they proceed to throw out basically everything that happened in ME2 like it was a bad dream.
[QUOTE=Cone;34664794]Maybe it isn't expanded on because [sp]that's apparently the situation the geth find themselves in towards the end of ME3. Just a healthy dose of foreshadowing.[/sp][/QUOTE] Yes, but [sp] foreshadowing tends to be a lot more subtle then having an entirely new race mentioned that have already accomplished such and are never heard from again.

Say, I was checking through the Cut Content section of the Mass Effect wiki, and apparently according to a few cut dossiers concerning Samara, her ship was what scattered the Spanish Armada, in effect altering human history. Assumedly it was her ship's drive core that caused the storm that caused the Armada to be split up and destroyed.

Obviously if a Council race person were to be in Sol, there wouldn't have been a great big war. Unless the asari are all members of a super-huge conspiracy and haven't let anyone else in on it.
[QUOTE=Jackald;34665939]So has the demo been leaked yet?[/QUOTE] Leaked? no. Officially released? Yes.
So far it's just early access for 360 if you did the little mini-game on Facebook.

I guess her ship must've needed to discharge the drive core and Earth was near enough to discharge at the time, plus she was probably there in search of Prothean artifacts.
Well, I just finished the Overlord DLC. Not bad, not bad. [editline]12th February 2012[/editline] And just for the record, the Facebook app with all of the Xbox codes has run out.

Despite my bitching about it - I just realised the one advantage of lazy Bioware model recycling with the ME2 squadmates; Jean Luc's textures should work with just a little bit of tweaking...hopefully.
So, we don't get to see Shepard's trial... Lame. Unless it was just cut from the demo.
