Well it happened: I took the plunge and picked up Mass Effect 3. I said I would buy it only when the fracas over the ending would die down so now seems good enough - that and it was on sale.
Going in I'm not sure what to make of it: The general consensus I gathered was that: "it's a great game UNTIL..". Such a mindset seems to suggest that the journey may not be worth taking and thus my perception is ultimately shaped by it.
So what do I think of ME3 so far? Well it's not bad. It still has some ME2 familiarity and the graphical quality is staggering. What does bother me though is the continual highlighting of items on the screen which comes across as kinda messy. And I'm still cut up over the fact that many of the crew from ME2 have packed up and left (some loyal crew-member you are!). And indeed, there are some moments that come across as heavy-handed - ie the kid on Earth in the prologue.
Still, this is all first impressions. It would be interesting to see where we go from here...
