Well I've finally bought the game ( found a cheap 20$ copy, couldn't pass on that).
Still playing it. My impressions so far : well it's Mass Effect alright, and dialog is as usual pretty awesome, cinematics are top notch, graphics are ok (somehow I thought that ME2 looked better 0_o), kicked catalyst profile to edge detect and 24xEQ, maxed everything I can, so it looks semi-sharp most of the time.
Now about the game and the story so far ( still havn't beaten it yet): I personally think that this has got to be probably the most boring one out of all MEs.
First one was all about exploration and discovery, the establishment of the universe etc, pretty awesome game.
I looooved the second one even more, because the intro was so damn epic, the improved combat, awesome and INTERESTING crew, and their loyalty missions, liked the new worlds to explore etc, it was great ( except for the humanoid reaper, that was prly the lamest moment in the game).
And so now I'm playing third one, and the story doesnt sound all that great, in fact it's pretty boring, after all that "holy shit reapers are "ze ancient evil of untold strength"" we get them invading earth, and.. you get to go all around the galaxy, and I don't care how fast normandy is, you get to travel back and forth 100500 times, and the earth is still there. For some bad-ass super race they are pretty damn slow at trying to wipe one single planet of least developed beings in the galaxy.
Next : this kid flashbacks ( considering the current official ending) are pretty pointless. Crew : boring crew ( except for EDI and Joker).
Third: this is flipping WAR, why sheppard decided that it is illigal to carry portable termo-nuclear rocket launcher ? why such a useful tool was put away on the shelf and forgotten?
Why do I have to go and play multiplayer to pump the readiness level to get best ending ? Why multiplayer basically interfearing with my single-player experience ? this is frustrating, if I want good multi, I play BF3, if I want console-fest I get Gears 3 or Uncharted 3. =\
Oh and this is also got the be one of the easiest games I ever played in my life - pimped chakram rifle that you get from Kingdoms of Amalur has got to be the most overpowered rifle ever thanks to AOE damage its basically a sniper-rifle with faster rate of fire, aoe explosions and 57+7 ammo capacity, takes tanks and anything except for banshies in less then one clip =\ combined with insta-recharge that makes you pretty much a god in this game since first self-deployed mission.
