I have played it and WOW!!!!! It feels so fast, so responsive, so good. ME2 was a massive improvement on ME1 and this game takes it a step further to where it feels like everything is balanced better and the shooting feels as good as any TPS I have played. Movement has more of a focus as you can roll from side to side and easily move and jump over cover. The new melee attacks are awesome and change depending on your class. This is just a demo and I already fought all sorts of enemies with a bunch of different strategies to take them out.

The first part of the demo is a tutorial and the stuff you see is incredible. So cinematic, so breathtaking, the story will be epic. The second part is an action segment and here you get to play with a bunch of points so you can build your character anyway you want. Powers now have split skill trees for more customization. So far I played as a soldier and an adept. Soldier allows for the ammo types and adreniline rush which works so well with melee. The adept powers feel like they work faster and cause more havok. My teamates were easy to command and left on their own were very smart in combat. This big dude with a giant shield was attacking us so I went around back, I got him to turn toward me which allowed Garrus to use a concusion shot to knock him out which allowed me to stab him in the head.

It is a pretty short demo but it allows you to play as every class and assign points anyway you want. Plus you can play as male or female and see how choices from old games change the cutscenes. You also have all difficulty modes to mess with. There is multiplayer but that was not working yet.

This is a shooter, everyone that wants some hardcore RPG go play something else. The demo is fantastic, everything I wanted for the finale, it feels damn perfect.

What a stupid puzzle. Can't do it. Keep getting locked out. If its totally random why do you only get three attempts?

Anyone got a spare code?

You can try again without another method

*edit - lol, guess theres a limit for it. thread said its already all claimed

but the app did said you can try again 2hrs later

Downloading now. Can't wait to see how well all the new mechanics are implemented.

I was suprised to see the "action", "story" and "role playing" options in the demo. That's going to be interesting.

I liked the single player part but I'm in deep love with the multiplayer! Asari adept + Stasis bubble is boss! And yes, the controls are way more responsive compared to ME2, so much more fluent. For just a demo you can easily spend tons of hours on this, really great!

So darn excited for this game. I'm going to the midnight release tonight. Anyone else gonna be playing it ASAP?

Played the demo and enjoyed it. My Buddy got the game today from our favorite early release store. I can't really afford it myself so I'm just waiting till he's done with it then gonna ask to borrow it. Only money I have is going towards ORC sadly even though ME3 will probably end up being the better game.

Regardless, very excited to finally get to play it when he's done. Though, I find all the hubbub over the inclusion of gay romance options to be pretty funny if not just plain stupid. An option that in no way impacts your game and you never have to experience or deal with if you don't want to is bad simply because you don't 'like' that option personally?

Reminds me of MvC3 hype all over again: "WTF WHY DID THEY PUT [X] INTO THE GAME! I DON'T LIKE THAT CHAR IT'S A WASTE OF A SLOT!" / "F'ING BS THAT [X] GOT IN THE GAME! I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT [X] SO THAT MEANS NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD GIVES A RATS ASS ABOUT [X] EITHER!" / "I DON'T WANT [X] IN THE GAME! WTF!!!! THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT ME AND MY DESIRES WHY ARE THEY INCLUDING STUFF I DON'T WANT THAT I DON'T LIKE?!?!?!?!!??!!? SELF ENTITLEMENT PLEASE!!!!"

Can't wait for this.

For the first time in my gaming life I am actually more excited for another game over a brand new Resident Evil game that is only weeks away from release.

Never ever thought that would happen to me ever.

Let's all take a moment to listen to this.

Possibly the most epic soundtrack ever made.
