Mass Effect 3, because we need a thread without Caps Lock

And also because the game's out in the US, or on Friday for Eurofags such as I.

I told myself I wouldn't get Mass Effect 3, and I'm still not getting it. There's a lot of decent reviews coming in, but Dragon Age 2 also had a lot of decent reviews and mysteriously everyone changed their minds about it after a few weeks. So I'm waiting for at least a month of user input, because I trust the 2.2 average from 300 user reviews on Metacritic far less than the professional reviews right now. Portal 2 also had a stupidly low score on that basis because people had temper tantrums over the Potato Sack ARG, and that was a pretty damn great game from most points-of-view that possessed some sanity. Even if ME3 turns out the same way I'll still be dubious, because Origin and Bioware's exorbitant marketing campaign really irritate me.

So, anyway, user input. This would be a good place to drop it in after people play, and hopefully finish the game, with the benefit of hindsight being far better than the burden of foresight which troglodytes like me are still dragging around.
