Nice, congrats BioWare.
I'm ready for more Mass Effect goodness.

This is my favorite shitpost on the Citadel.
Can't wait for release, latest videos are pushing hype to unbearable levels.

So do you always shit up threads with first posts that contribute nothing and aren't funny, or did we just catch you on a good day, junior?

Bought Mass Effect 2 and 3 day one, but this will be more like day one hundred and ninety nine. Maybe longer. Critics will fawn over it for sure, but for me, the Bioware love affair is long over.
I did think there would be one more delay though, so kudos for actually going gold at the scheduled time.

Still not really feeling it tbh. I mean taking all the individual aspects of the game and examining them the game seems fine but there's just something that doesn't make it click. Charm is the only word I can come up with for what I mean. It might be the visuals, color palettes, the characters, I dunno. I don't mean to hate on the game, and I'm not hating on it. I'm just luke warm to it, more than I expected. No real hook has been introduced so far for me. Something that grasps me and makes me instantly interested without me having to go out of my way to think about all the possible good things the game has going for it in order to get excited about it. For the original trilogy it was that 'vibe' that is absent here.
It feels kind of weird not being excited for a Mass Effect game since I loved the trilogy for the most part.

I'm not bitter over mass effect 3 but not really excited to go back to the mass effect universe right now. Will wait the reception and see if it's a game that's worth buying.
I care, I think.

I dont know why anyone is not hyped for the new game from the makers of Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition.
ME3 had some of the best co-op multiplayer last gen. Thanks to Xbox One BC, it got a good boost in the last few months.

Hyped but the characters will take some time to get used to.

I think EA has done a poor job marketing this game up until recently. Maybe they'll pick it up once Horizon and Zelda/Switch are out of the way
I hope the PC performance has improved. According to Brad it wasn't very good

Awww yissss. I'm feeling this one since they started releasing trailers. So many people have been nit picking this like crazy but I'm sure once everyone gets a chance to play they will enjoy it.

Mass Effect was the game that made me buy an Xbox 360 even though I wasn't at all interested in owning one. I just *had* to play this game. It was all I could think of the weeks prior to its release. I loved it, and its sequels. The ending to ME 3 wasn't what I had expected, but I was still fine with it. I'm ultra looking forward to Andromeda!

ME3 has some of the best multiplayer of any game I've played. I still play it every so often. Last time was a couple of weeks ago.
This is the first game in a long time that I'm actually excited to read/watch reviews of, not to mention check out people's impressions here. I enjoy the Mass Effect games, and the gameplay trailers look fun, but we'll see if they can build a new universe around interesting characters without relying too much on the formula they used in the first three games. With so many great games out or about to come out, I'm actually having to form a bit of a gaming budget and I'm still on the fence about this game.

What? Marketing campaign just started to kick in and they have ~1 month to go.
Fantastic! We can assume next Friday, right?
Pretty safe bet yeah. This week was loaded so we got stuff yesterday and today.

Pretty sure BW has gone on record a few years back about how DA outsold ME. I wouldn't be surprised if that remained true.

Two excellent, strong series that make a lot of money. Any Dragon Age or Mass Effect game is an instabuy from me.

Can't wait, hopefully it is really good.
This. I'm hyped myself.
I remember ME3 and look back fondly. DA:I was also pretty good.

It was well loved by the mainstream press, but I think fan opinion is definitely divided.
I personally thought it was a pretty soulless experience. With the exception of the main quest, everything else seemed like filler of the worst kind. Combat wasn't very engaging for me either.
Still looking forward to ME:A though, ME2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I have feleing this is going to be more of that.
I hope the PC performance has improved. According to Brad it wasn't very good
Everyone in the hands on (I'm almost sure) was playing the PC version. IF anything, I'd worry about the console performance at this stage.

You not feeling the hype =/= Hype is non-existent.
Also, how many time will we go through this topic?

It's pretty normal around here now. Every big game has a hate squad that is just hoping the game fails.
Think it has more to do with sequels than the size of the game. They either change to much to their predecessors or not enough.
