Go to options (or profile, I don't remember which) on your x-box and find "Download History" you can re-download it there.

Already tried that too. It just went poof. Fuckin weird.

So, from what I've read, ME3 will be fun to play whether the characterization and story sucks or not. Which is good, because I'm pretty convinced that'll be the worst part of the game whether it turns out to be good or not.

Characters and story were the things I was looking forward to the most. If I wanted purely improved combat, I'd play coop.

[Tuskin]

Raizo go to xbox.com go to your profile left hand side under your avatar select "Account" go to Purchase History Mass effect 3 demo should be there

It is there for me, if you started downloading it should be on the list.

[Skyward]

The demo was pretty good. Some things I liked, other things I didn't. Still pretty excited, but cautiously so.

[doommarine23]

I'm just hoping the final game is more refined than this demo, obviously it will be (I'd assume) but still.

Demo is way too short to judge, but they seemed okay so far.

50USD I believe, and it doesn't matter if you get it now or later. But it would save some set-up time to have one ready to go. Its basically EA's Steam

How much is that in British pounds? I'm trying to find the best deal and I wanna know how much to pay.

[quinaking]

I really want to play the demo, but I don't have Facebook. Is there any other way to get it?

Lemme see, around 31 pounds (50USD) to 38 pounds (60USD)

(FUCK YES. I remember seeing the health bar being somewhat divided into several pieces, so does that mean it only regenerates the current chunk, or have they completely thrown away health regen? 'cause I think I remember it working like that back at Eurogamer...)

Think of Far Cry 2's health system but with regenerating shields.

Games aren't priced relative to exchange rates.

For example, $50 game may be £24.99 or £29.99.

A $60 game is usually £29.99 or £34.99. An example of this would be Call of Duty.

You haven't specified whether you want pre-order items or not, so here is Mass Effect 3 on PC for £29.90 excl. shipping.

Tali should be lower, Thane stays where he is.

A technical beard then.

I hope the first part of the Mass Effect demo was taken from the live beta demo because the graphics don't seem to great on that one part. Played the 2nd part of the demo the graphics seem significantly better. Nova power is awesome, good for crowd control. James Vega doesn't sound as much of a douche as i thought but i hate Mordin's new voice actor.

right now the one saving grace after all the shit they're doing with previous squad mates, is that they seem to have made Kaidan pretty cool.

That's of course if I ignore the rather unsettling things I've heard about what the virmire survivor does

[Hellstrom]

I killed Kaiden in my main game, but i could definately do a quick run through of ME2 again and make one with him not dead D:

incidentally, is that choose what happened thing for me3 only for new characters, or is it also for imports? I have like, 1 or 2 things I want to change but I don't really want to play mass effect again.

Yeah I was actually looking forward to having kaidan back for it but   it's really saying something about the role the virmire survivor plays if they can be killed by shep himself/herself 2-3(?) times.     It kind of feels like they built the role for stupid shit ashley would do, and then they plugged kaidan into it.

[Takuat]

After playing the demo I've got to admit it restored a bit more faith. The gameplay was pretty tight and abilities felt powerful but the controls on console feel a bit clunky. I got my ass handed to me on Insanity when fighting the Atlus bot several times mainly due to the fact whenever I tried to go into cover the camera would fuck up and go through the floor and I'd get bombarded with projectiles.

Meer did pretty well as both Shepard and Mordin but it still seems strange without Beetis. The lack of dialogue options was disappointing. VA for every one else seems pretty solid but I didn't play FemShep so I don't know if Hale sounds as bored as ever.The banter between squad mates is great and seeing Wrex and Kirrahe was awesome. Like Garrus says I want the weapon Kirrahe uses.

The game is quite pretty but most of the textures are pretty low res so it seems like Jean will be pretty busy for months to come. The soundtrack is pretty good but goes more towards the orchestral side of things instead of space-y music.

Overall I still think ME3s story won't be too good but the characters and gameplay will redeem it. We already know that Bioware has gone for a more actiony approach in ME3 instead of a story-driven one but I have to admit that I don't hate that as much as I thought I did.

I never thought about it that way.    They probably had to include lots of opportunities to kill the survivor so the people stuck with Ashley would have a way out!

But I literally just finished my perfected, 100% run for ME2.

I will just have to hope that ME3 will have the same options for imports as it does for new players.

I think I could agree with that point if they didn't shit on all of my favorite characters.

Just picked up Mass Effect 2 from Gamefly, since it's on sale for $4.50. Do you guys recommend any mods/tweaks for it? I beat it awhile ago on the 360

I can't wait for the PC demo so people can see how to hack/mod ME3 and get a head start.
