sad to hear you didn't enjoy it, how are your thoughts on the first ME?

ironically, i always thought the Gears Of War franchise was overrated, different tastes and all :D

It should be on a sheet in the game case where the instruction booklet would be - there is no instruction booklet as EA is supposedly saving paper. Aren't the online pass and Ashes code one and the same though? Got my copy and put on the online pass code, then it downloaded the Ashes dlc.

Oops my mistake here, I entered the Ashes code when prompted for the Online Pass code. Both should be on the same sheet though.

ME3 arrived yesterday but I didn't get time to play it as I was busy milking the Game sale.

Is anyone up for trying the co-op mode later this evening? If so PM and/or add me on XBL (gamertag = CheDonJohn).

i'm really disappointed by the screw up with the face importing feature. If you created your character in ME1 and imported it to ME2, it has issues. That's a real immersion breaker for me. It's like the third film in a trilogy having a different actor playing the role. Oh well, i'm off to wrestle with the character creation screens...

My copy arrived.Process of:Instal both discs to 360 HDD.Download patch.Redeem online code, then start game.

It's imported my MasS Effect 2 character, face and all, over fine, but then i never did much to change appearance of my character (never really bother with this sort of stuff).

Done opening stage...hmmnn....solid enough, not as atmospheric as A)I'd hoped and B)I found Mass effect 2 opening to be, but early days yet.

And...i cannot holster my gun?.Whats up with that?.

:D Now i'm feeling it!-found opening level tad 'limp' (not quite the spectacle i'd hoped for, but now, few hours in, loving Mass Effect 3.Story seems to be delivering the goods, in spades...

I've read that you can choose from three modes of play for the single-player campaign: Role playing, action, and story. How do you go about selecting these (I want the role playing, of course!)?

I imported a character from ME2 but I was never given the option to select my play mode, unless I missed it somewhere. Is there a way of telling what mode I have selected?

Looks like it's ONLY avaiable if you select NEW GAME/It pops up along with your character choice of sex.I imported my M.E 2 character, could'nt find it, so thought..hmnn...try new game..and there it was.

So does anyone actually have any pictures of the inventory system?

Also, did the shared cooldown crap from ME2 get carried over?

love it how all the different characters react with each other, just had Garrus and Wrex having a bit of good natured bickering, Wrex still one of my fave characters from ME.

Game more than living up to the hype, absolutely epic!
