Uhh...yeah.

Wasn't sure, it's a legit question though, figured could have been more of EA's strategy to get more origin related sales.

If you installed it on Steam you still have a saved games folder. It's not like Origin can say "wow that saved game folder was on Steam screw it then."

You sure, Toshi? The games do not run entirely on their own, with Steam. The save files may not be compatible. Check to be sure.

Generally the only thing that's ever incompatible is the .exes, and even then only sometimes. The worst you would have to do is point the game to where your saves are.

Unlike that bloody Need for Speed password fiasco.

Well...that sure gave me a good scare right before I read the rest of that stuff saying it was only if you had Cloud. But yeah, anyone in here who uses Cloud, beware.

Don't know whether I should agree with Joe or disagree and kick him in the avocados for looking like such a nitpicker. I agree how the multiplayer seems unnecessary for it looks like Gears of War's Horde mode with less content (although that could just be me saying that), Day 1 DLC is total bullcrap, casual gamers are slightly making these kind of games a little less difficult, and everything mentioned in Why ME3 will Kick Ass but I have to disagree with everything else. Jersey Shore-ification...what the heck? I don't mind Ashley's new look to tell you the truth. She looks a lot better in that getup than Miranda herself IMO. I have no comment on Joe comparing ME3 to GoW3. Really Joe, you're gonna complain about advertisements now?

He's for the multiplayer just saying its nothing original. Which is true

Definately true. From what I've experienced in the demo, the multiplayer is just a dumbed down Horde Mode and I hate how I'm probably gonna be forced to play it to reach Lv. 20 in rank if I want to get the good ending.

You're not forced. It just makes it easier. Bioware has stated you can get the best ending without even playing, it will just be harder to do, since multiplayer gives you in game help and upgrades.

I think Joe made some good points. I'm not going to lie that ME2 dumbing down the RPG elements didn't piss me off. They removed the entire inventory section for christs sake. I like messing around in the inventory and comparing loot, it adds a feeling of progression.

But ME3 will be satisfactory as long as it offers a good ending to the trilogy and maybe sets things up for more. Thats all I want.

Yes, this. I remember getting flack for my complaints, here on KMC, about ME2. 🙁

They also improved combat, in some ways, in ME2. I wish I could take the best of ME and ME2 and then mash it up in ME3.

I've heard that it's not going to be a definite automatic link between Multiplayer and Single-Player. Apparently there'll be a mode that marries the two's progression, thus making the ending section easier, or slightly more difficult - War-room or something I thinki it's called.

I didn't like ME2 messing with the RPG elements either.

The inventory is the one thing I am glad they got rid of.

The inventory was terrible and annoying to do stuff in, but they could have just improved it instead of getting rid of the whole thing.

You've been agreeing with me a lot lately. Its very suspicious. crackers

Mass Effect 3 apparently has inventory back in some form, it's just not a pointless mess like in the first ME.

I like having inventories, 1 handled their badly but hopefully 3 will be a good middle ground.

Whoop.

The Case for Gay Shepard.

Sometimes I wish this ******* wasn't so right all the time. Or that he wasn't such an *******. Although he is funny.
