Hammered it.

Also just installed it AND origins as well as ME1 and 2 from steam.

Take what you will from that.

I am ****ing angry.

Did you do all of the side missions as well?

How many hours did it take you to complete it?

That's the last of my questions. :p

All but one side mission "I think".

I checked the Citadel for anything before the finale trigger and nothing new popped up, I regularly spoke to everyone I could so don't think I missed anything.

Got every systems exploration to 100% as well. Had 1 mission left over because I missed the item, note to everyone, scour ever mission area, if you miss an item someone wants, there is no going back.

Play time was something like 20 hours and that was with a whole lot of aimlessly wandering about, exploring every nook and cranny and talking to everyone at every opertunity.

Oh also, this I thought was funny (spoilerific)

Near the end of the game, if you haven't romanced Tali or Garrus when you go to talk to either you may see them together in the Forward Batteries on the crew deck, prepare for utter ****ing hilarity.

Not so spoilerific, I did also quite like the Hunt For Red October gag.

A note from the devs on the FUD about a perfect ending:

BIOWARE said:
Hi everyone,

I've seen some posts where there is a bit of confusion about the ability to get the "perfect ending" by only playing single-player, because if you don't play multiplayer (or the iOS game, Infiltrator) your Galactic Readiness stays at 50%.

You do NOT have to play multiplayer to get the best single-player endings.

Here's a bit of clarification:

Your ending(s) are determined by your "Effective Military Strength" (let's call it EMS for now) bar. Focus on that bar - that is your indicator of how well you will do in the end-game.

You can maximize your EMS just by collecting War Assets in the single-player game. There is a certain threshhold of these you would need to exceed (I can't get too specific) but I can tell you there are MORE than the required amount that can be gathered in the single-player campaign.

"Galactic Readiness" is a modifier you can improve by playing multiplayer. That is to say, if you play a lot of multiplayer, you will need less War Assets from single-player to fill up your EMS bar (ie it will balance out the requirements to account for you playing in both modes). Single-player game play does not impact that bar.

EMS = success. EMS can be maximized via collecting war assets alone, even if your Galactic Readiness is 50%.

So is the Prothean DLC 'From Ashes'?

EDIT - Apologies, for a while I thought they were separate missions.

I've just been texted by a clown town mate of mine who will be beaten to a pulp if this is true. He saying that Tali plays a lesser role in ME3 and can't be part of the Normandy team? Say it ain't true!

/me wubs Tali <3!
 
Anyone can die in ME2. I wouldn't be surprised if all the crew members from 2 get killed in a single cutscene right at the beginning from some of the things I am hearing!:p

The more I hear, the less I am looking forward to it. Gonna have to leaved this thread until Friday now!
 
Fenris: how can you end ME3 so quickly, how long you played, 24hours?

EDIT:

20hours only? I remember playing ME2 at least 30-35h.

To everyone about spoilers: Just enjoy god damn game, I played 2hours slowly and like it very much.

Yeah, the game is actually pretty damn short in comparison with ME 1 and 2, this is mostly down to the mission structure and "Faffing About" choices. ME1 had the Mako stuff which took decades and ME2 had planet scanning which again took bloody decades.

The reason ME3 is so much short is that the majority of side missions take place in "Arena" style complexes rather than a standard A > B progression meaning they take maybe 5 minutes each, also the planet scanning takes no time at all (wrapping up a good 75% of it at the end of the game took me about 20 minutes).

I certainly didn't rush it either, as I said I completed all but 1 side quest and spoke to everyone at every opportunity.
