I don't mind.
You know what they should have done instead of scanning?
Kingdom Hearts 2 gummi ship missions.

Imagine going through star clusters and galaxies on the Normandy. Fighting off rogue geth and pirate ships while dodging debris/rocks and collecting minerals along the way.

It doesn't sound near as bad as it was in ME2.

For some reason they put this resource gathering thing in all 3 games, I never asked for this.
From memory of my run through of getting all the Achievements/Trophies, the Infiltrator and Sentinal are the two classes they always suggest using for an easier time on Insanity.
Try using a different class? I hear the final boss is a pain in the ass with a vanguard, lol.
Did first Insanity with soldier then with Adept and two times now with Infiltrator and yeah Infiltrator (with widowmaker) is the easiest but still Insanity is still more a "Hard" for me. But whatever, i'm not really complaining.
Demo of ME3 didn't give a me a "Yeeehaw, more ME" taste. And i don't know if the Action/Rpg/Racing Game options are going to turn out good.

In ME2 a Collector ship destroyed Normandy and killed Shepard. In ME3 you can just fly away from multiple Reaper ships.
Hmm.

Mako planet exploration - Some people didn't like it, let's remove it!
Planet scanning - Everyone hated it, let's keep it!

pretty much, and to make it worse, they try and make it seem like the fact that it's REQUIRED is good
At least sticking to gaf alone for news and other opinion related threads drastically mitigates the chances of having it spoiled.
It seems that it was mostly true. Minor changes with the updated one but the big stuff was the same.

From what I heard, the first leak was very much a rough draft, but I guess there was a second leak shortly thereafter that was much closer to the final game? But I never actually read through the leaks so take that with a grain of salt.

You're correct.

After playing the abysmal demo, I'm not even sure I want to play ME3, and I loved the first 2! Such a mess.
It is just a 4 player horde mode. Nothing single player.
The coop is a wave based mode separate from the SP content. There are no links between the two modes. There is no PVP.
It's the Horde mode from the Gears series with less options.

I'm very interested in reading the leaked script (after I play ME3, of course).

This is the exact reason why I never finished Kingdom Hearts 2... Got so obsessed with making my gummi ship and doing these missions that I never got around to playing the real game...(loved the combat tho)

They really outdid themselves with the gummi ship in KH2, I hated in KH but LOVED it in 2.
Ugh the wait for ME3 is killing me, definitely my most anticipated game for the year. I just hope we don't have to play the online mode to not have a horrible ending in single player as I don't have live anymore.

They've made it clear that you won't, but I hope you like mass effect side quests
I can't tell, my OCD compels me to complete them either way!

Same here. These are the longest 8 days I've felt in a while, damn it.

Guys, "to get there faster" isn't a valid reason for why they didn't just fly before. They have been trying to get back to the Milky Way since the Rachni wars.
Reapers take down the citadel, they control the relays and they can wipe each star system out individually. That is the plan. Shepard screwed that plan up so they are kind of forced to just get their without the relays

I dunno, I kind of agree, based on the single-player portions, but I just think that Mass Effect is a series that doesn't convey its strengths very well in a demo.
The level-up system is janky since you aren't actually progressing, so much as having some points thrown at you in the second half of the demo. The story feels disconnected since you're being thrown into it without much of a lead-in (again, in the second half). The combat feels different and you don't have the opportunity to slowly adapt like you would playing the full game.
The multiplayer portion hyped me up more than the single-player demo did. It at least was able to show how combat can be mixed up and made more interesting than in ME1 and 2.

No qualms here. Anything to lengthen the game, I know I'm not gonna want it to end.
I've got a vita, school, and some rpgs to play but nothing is going to ease the pain of waiting
I really hope they added a quest for the serial killer we "helped" escape from the prison. As well as some Shepard background side quests.
I don't think that's still enough. We'll see when the game comes out but I believe that it will still be an annoying mechanic.

Because control of the Citadel allows them to catch the galaxy by surprise, shut down the mass relays, access the galaxy's records, census data and information, completely isolate and systematically wipe out every race without anyone knowing what is going on. It wasn't just "to get there faster".
Plus, the species can't mount a resistance. If the Reapers can turn on and turn off individual mass relays, then they can just wipe out each system one at a time without the the species being able to join forces and mount a resistance.

Yup, or even communicate with each other. I have plenty problems with the course the story took after ME1, but people always bring up the Reaper arrival at the end of ME2/beginning of ME3 as a plothole when it's not the case.
Indeed. The only issue related to the arrival of the reapers is the fact that their human baby reapers was pointless. It took all that time and ressources to create *one* while their army was already close to our system anyway. That's not even taking into account how only one reaper was beaten by the Citadel and Alliance forces.
