Was this beta going to be for consoles only or were PC's included as well? Past year or so companies have been leaving PC out of there beta tests due to data mining.

Okay, I wasn't going to do this and maybe it's against better judgment. But for the folks already calling this game a disaster because they were not part of the closed test Fernando referenced, or because there was no larger public beta, or insinuating that the people who took part in the closed test were not willing to give good/honest/critical feedback in an effort to see the game be as good as it could be: CALM THE FUCK DOWN. I cannot say more. I REALLY wish I could. But I can't. If you have any trust in me as a person and player at all, trust me when I say that I believe, in my heart of hearts, that things are going to be okay. Perfect? Nothing ever is. But fun? Yes, I very much think so. And I'm almost very certain that at least ONE person, if not others, who was in that technical test gave some pretty solid fucking feedback and advice. AND THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. PLEASE READ BETWEEN THOSE LINES IN MY SENTENCES TO FIGURE OUT WHY I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY. ALSO NOTE THAT I TECHNICALLY HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING EITHER. #vaguepost Have a good morning, kids. Jealousy becomes me. How could they ever trust a gator fan with a task like this

I wish they stopped hiding lack of even simple customization of nameless MP characters behind "iconic appearance" meme.

Great move... first get everyone excited and have them sign up, then cancel the beta. Not that I had a chance of playing anyways because they limited it to consoles only. But I would have liked to see some footage from other players. Source: blog.bioware.com/2017/03/01/bioware-at-pax-east-2017/

Oh, there going to be an open Beta. Three weeks from now. 'tis the fate of an early buyer of any game, to test it... tbh, it makes more sense than a closed beta anyway. There are always bugs, so how many you squish before the number of players go from a few hundred to tens of thousands....

But.....I don't want to calm the fuck down.... I really don't care about the Beta thing other than the fact that I had to uselessly spend my own time filling out some kind of annoying survey to get my name in and now my name is in their hands for 'future testing' that I will be getting emails of in which I have zero interest.

Anyway, since we (PC) couldn't have it, I'm fine that the console scrubs didn't get their dirty hands on either.

LOOKS. SO. DAMN. GOOD! *Drools uncontrollably* :dumb: Really? I thought these GFX looks kinda... dunno. It's nothing special. ME3 looked better aesthetically. Yeah I'm with stysiaq on this one mate - This is definitely a step up from ME3. The main reason I got excited was the map design. It's got multiple levels and a compact central area with lots of crates and things to make combat all up close and personal. Since I usually play a shotgun wielding Quarian engineer, this map ticks all of my boxes!
