Has anyone gotten their hands on it?
Has the goddamn firing mechanism been fixed?
Is it still insanely heavy?

not with the reviews being more and more lukewarm (mind you...it might end up scoring really high you never know). And sure EA COULD spend money on other known quantities and existing franchises but why do that when all they have to do, according to the numbers, is simply to redirect Bioware? DA2 got it's share of shitty reviews, did not sell as well as hoped AND BW's employees as well as other people working on the project (like the OST composer) said it was an utter rush job....but we got DAI did we not? And was Bioware not redirected on that one as well (in different ways and with different goals of course)? First of all, the DA 2 reviews were good with major sites, it was only a problem with gamers. So it was not as bad reviewed as you seem to think it is. Second of all, DA 2 sales as of now are of 2.57 million and that is JUST the physical copy, there is way more with digital sales. Of course 2.57 million might seem bad until you take into account that it was MUCH cheaper to make, with tons of reused environments, a very small city, and only a year and a half of development. Which means that it had less works into it, which means less ressources invested and of course less money to do with sales until it is profitable. No problem with having lesser sales when it was not as expensive. So where did you see that DA 2 was dissapointing for EA? I have not seen the part where they were, at least not to the point of refusing to finance a sequel. www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/dragon-age-originswww.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/dragon-age-iiwww.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/dragon-age-inquisitionLowest metaceitic and DEFINITELY lowest user reviews en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age:_Origins. 3.2 millions in 2010...so MORE than DA2 and we know inquisition sold more according to EA reports Yeah...worst sales and worst reviews but hey had it been so profitable for EA WHY was DAI made the way it was and not as a freaking carbon copy of DA2? Hey they could have pumped it out in 18 months and set it in a single fucking castle for all they cared (in your mind). And with this...I am done, tyvm, not worth arguing with you

because ME is a known quantity and has MUCH better chances than a new IP (which is proven by tue industry's numbers) and the best way to make an IP like ME sell is to bring back the beloved old protagonist Well if it is that of a known quantity, MEA would have sold enough to meet EA exceptation. If it does not, It will just tell them that the ME franchise is not enough profitable and they can just put bioware on an other franchise. Any other mass effect project game would be risky for them and no more of a sure franchise. Their money is not forced to go to a new Ip, How about putting more of their ressources of bioware on dragon age 4, or make a star wars rpg. None of them are new IP, they rely on brand name that people knows, they can sell a lot of copies as shown by previous game of the franchise. So yeah you seem to think that EA will absolutely make a Mass effect game whatever happens, sorry to tell you but that is certainly not sure. EA have cancelled franchise in the past, and that can totally happen again if MEA is not as much of a sucess as they hope. not with the reviews being more and more lukewarm (mind you...it might end up scoring really high you never know). And sure EA COULD spend money on other known quantities and existing franchises but why do that when all they have to do, according to the numbers, is simply to redirect Bioware? DA2 got it's share of shitty reviews, did not sell as well as hoped AND BW's employees as well as other people working on the project (like the OST composer) said it was an utter rush job....but we got DAI did we not?

there is a difference between being unprofitable and not selling as well as forecasted The latter is what I meant with tanking. Obviously if the game is unprofitable they are not gonna fund it but if it IS profitable just not as much as EA would like it to be what do you think they are gonna do That does not mean they will bring shepard back, if they don't make the amount of money they hope to do with MEA, do you really think they would suddenly risk everything again with an other shepard game? What forces them to continue the mass effect franchise. They can totally put that money elsewhere in an other projects. You seem to think that EA HAS to do a mass effect game if MEA fails. And that is not true AT ALL, they can totally consider the franchise to be no more worth it if it is that risky and put bioware elsewhere, that can happen. because ME is a known quantity and has MUCH better chances than a new IP (which is proven by tue industry's numbers) and the best way to make an IP like ME sell is to bring back the beloved old protagonist

So wait...SAM is related to the mother how?? It's likely Alec built SAM to help with his wife's terminal illness. The implication being that not only can SAM increase combat abilities, but the general well being by helping the body at the cellular level. Though basically it's a bunch of ScFi bullshit that doesn't make a lot of sense if you pick it apart. In theory it could make sense however, I doubt the mechanisms of how SAM will be able to do that will described in much detail. awwww... my hypothesis was that she was the digitized intelligence of the dead mother

too much money invested to let it go, EA would basically tell Bioware to make a ME game by the numbers and bring back Shepard or dissolve the franchise altogether. I know that the creative artistic ego of the BW head honchos is as massive as Miranda's butt....but they are not THAT stupid If they invested too much money in MEA and yet it tanked why would they risk more money in the mass effect series? They can just put that money elsewhere, nothing forces them to invest in a franchise that cannot recup his budget. Do you really think it would be the first franchise EA invested in and yet let it fall when it did not maked as much money as they wanted? Do you want to know the fucking HUGE amount of franchise that EA bought from different developper and after that they refuse to finance more of them when one game of that franchise was not profitable? Mass effect would certainly not be the first if that happen, there was numerous of those before. If MEA is not profitable, thre is no mass effect after that. MEA shall be the last. there is a difference between being unprofitable and not selling as well as forecasted The latter is what I meant with tanking. Obviously if the game is unprofitable they are not gonna fund it but if it IS profitable just not as much as EA would like it to be what do you think they are gonna do?

Guys....It's ok! If this game is good does well, all the better for everyone... If this game tanks we get Shepard back Win win Wishful thinking at best. If the marketing campaign for ME:A hasn't already proved that much there's still a lot of people that hold a grudge over ME3, and especially the endings. If the game tanks, no more Mass Effect is the more likely result. too much money invested to let it go, EA would basically tell Bioware to make a ME game by the numbers and bring back Shepard or dissolve the franchise altogether. I know that the creative artistic ego of the BW head honchos is as massive as Miranda's butt....but they are not THAT stupid

The franchise didn't need to live on, but i am so far glad that it did. I meant tanking be forecast standards....not as in "sells nothing at all and has superman 64 level reviews"

I'm already in access and spent most of my time in the CC. I can 100% confirm that is a downgrade from DAI. For males you choose from several pre-made presets in which little can be changed. There are no beard options. No cheekbone and jaw line adjustment sliders, no eye shape options, eye brow options limited, eye color options limited and finally the worst offender is that skin tone options favor people of color more than pale people. One thing I liked about DAI was the CC which was although not perfect, good enough. MEA is a downgrade. Anyone else in access agree? Wo wo wo wo wo...wait No goatees + mustache options either??????

I get the sense that opinions regarding this game will be all over the place. Some people will say it's the greatest RPG of all time, others will say it's complete garbage and killed the Mass Effect franchise. I get the sense there won't be much in between either. I hope so Might be the kick in the ass Bioware needs to being back shepard

Well - I think they have a bit more responsibility than your typical scout. Like making first contact with other species, choosing who/when to bring others out of cryo, deciding where to put settlements, acquiring resources to complete building the Nexus, etc. Whether the youngster Ryder should have that much authority is a different issue. Shepard would have done a better job
