How do you tell if your games on story/action/rpg mode? I imported save didnt get to choose i dont think.

Also my sheps a badass out the gate damn.

I imagine it defaults to RPG if you import, considering you didn't have any other option in the previous games...

9.5 from ign

Reviews across the board have been very good, both writing and score-wise. I think the worst score so far has been 4/5. Not too bad. Most of what I've read have said that it is a satisfying conclusion, which is impressive to say the least considering how ambitious the project was from the start.

9.4 at metacritic....the user score is 4.5 with 117 negetive reviews....im sure those are bogus

[killgod]

only Peter Moore cares about Metacritic.

[SethMode]

Yeah, Metacritic is mostly shit, as most review "scores" in general are. Way too much is weighed on some arbitrary number at the end of a 15 paragraph in-depth review that no one reads. It's stupid.

Still, I am very reassured from what I've read. Not that I was ever not going to buy, but the amount of hype, buzz, fear, whatever surrounding this game just got insane (and seemingly unjustified).

Games tougher on Insanity than ME2 was. Don't want to go into detail why and spoil anything. I died like 10 straight times at one part early on.

That was a nice read. No real spoilers at all.

I don't understand what you mean? I'm simply saying that scores are stupid and meaningless and require very little thought. They only exist for fanboys and some clueless publishers.

At least with a written review a person has to justify their opinion, for good or ill. A number is just there so that people can be "ZOMG!1 4/5!!!??? THAT GAYME NEEDZ A 5/5!!!!11111" The problem is no one really reads reviews.

I don't care much for Adam Sessler, but after his rant about Metacritic I couldn't give a fuck about what scores they have to offer. What a joke that shit is.

Metacritic is a good professional review aggregator, but that's about as far as I care for it.
