So I tried out the single player Mass Effect 3 demo yesterday while Mystic watched. Best Valentines day ever. It's only 2 hours worth of gameplay so I can't necessarily say what it means for the story as a whole, but I do know that it does give some impressions of the gameplay.
SPOILERS: BECAUSE SOME OF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR EXPERIENCE PURE
-The beginning part feels incomplete but it may just be due to the fact it's a friggin' demo.
-The little kid seemed obvious and annoying. Old trope. Not super sad he got fried.
-Health is no longer regenerating, but shields are, so be ready to actually use those medi-pacs.
-Vangaurds are going to want to use the fuck out of Nova
-Councils are a goddamn waste of time still
-You are now shooting at Cerberus, not for Cerberus
-Leveling up now has more tiers and more splits. This is good, for strategery
-You have 3 different ways to play, and that's alright by me because I can still play the way I want
-Walking seems a little slow in the game, I'm not sure if that's just me or in general.
-Yes it's glitchy. I hope EA allows BioWare to make this a well developed game, rather than rushing everything. I CAN WAIT, YOU WILL STILL GET MY MONEY EA TAKE YOUR TIME!
Finally, I find that there are a lot of people being nitpicky on the demo. I understand the high expectations, but guys, give it a break. Ashley's face doesn't look right? Really? I thought she looked like a horse since day one, haven't changed that much. Some other things have bothered people, including the kid scene and the glitches. Luckily I don't think that's indicative of what the game will be. The demo seems to be a repeat of what was at E3, meaning any changes since then may not have been added. On top of that certain things may have been cut out merely for the benefit of enjoying a brief but exciting demo. Please don't think the demo has everything.
I will say that the demo didn't suck, so I'm still going to buy the game. And that's all I was looking to know from the demo.
