Bioware pulled another **** move, not as huge as the one Capcom did with their latest game though, still, 10$ for 30 minutes of gameplay riped out of original game is outrages if you ask me.
As for the game itself, I'm 10 hours into it so it's still bit early to make a proper judgment. One thing I'm certain about, Mass Effect 3 doesn't deserve the slack it got from those trolls on metacritic. At the same time I feel reviewers ****ed up again as majority of them kept a blind eye on a quite a few flaws, usual trend when it comes to "AAA titles" I'm afraid.
The biggest grudge players have with Mass Effect 3, aside from the first day DLC, are apparently a horrible ending/s that leaves us with more questions than answers, in other words more room for another DLC, and game being not quite original (this link contains major spoilers).
As for my personal experience with Mass Effect 3 so far, aside occasional texture problems the game looks simply gorgeous, I've even taken few screenshots of beautiful scenery I might post in this thread later on. The scanning system is not as annoying as it was, reapers can be though. I'm also glad to see there's some customization in this game as it was almost non existent in Mass Effect 2. At one point this game reminded me of the original Mass Effect as I was bombarded with sidequests, a lot of them seem out of place considering the situation, though I think I would bitch even more if there were none. Gathering assets is also fun for now, though from what I hear they don't really affect the final outcome.
Overall I feel there's not much improvement over second game in the series, at least not as much I as hoped it would be.
Edit: I forgot to mention the music, Clint Mansell did an amazing job along with promo work by Two Steps From Hell.
Your take on final part of Mass Effect trilogy. Potential spoilers wrap in spoiler tag please.
