Mass Effect 3 = 40 Hours

BioWare Social Network has a summary of the first magazine review of Mass Effect 3, which offers impressions of BioWare's action/RPG sequel. It also offers perspective on how long the game should last, saying the main quest runs for about 15-20 hours, which amounts to about 40 hours of total playtime, saying "side missions are vital to amass enough opposition to the Reaper threat." They also note the game includes about 90 minutes of cutscenes, while also offering impressions of the game that do not involve clock-watching. Thanks Computer and Video Games. On an interesting side note, while noting the game's preorders are well ahead of its predecessor's, MCV also points out that Destructoid recently put on a green visor to do some accounting to tally up what it would cost to get all the DLC planned for Mass Effect 3. This results in an eye-popping $869.91 price tag. Part of the reason this ends up so inflated is because some of it is bundled with Razor hardware, though this illustrates the problem the plan presents to a completionist. Finally, if you are in need of some marketing, Game Informer has a commercial for the game.

Ok, so does anyone actually know whether the N7 Digital Deluxe Edition is including this stupid From Ashes DLC or not?

Damn EA support closed 3 of my support questions about this WITHOUT REPLY. For real Does anyone know?

I don't think it does, no... Here's a list of what you get with the digital edition:

http://store.origin.com/store/ea/en_US/html/pbPage.me3

which strangely enough is what I get with the collector's edition (for the same price), but I also seem to get the DLC included. (or a code, more likely, which is absolutely guaranteed to not fucking work on day one, seeing as how the codes for Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2 didn't work either until days later, and everyone at Bioware and EA is too fucking retarded to figure this shit out, apparently.)

So much for EA "promoting" digital, when they put more goodies into the actual box.


And 2 more times for male vs female renegade/paragon.

And depending on how many influences me1/me2 saves have, it could even have a lot more re-playability... Not to mention that i need to do at least 1 playthrough where i actually lose the game instead of winning it.

So yeah.. I have my import saves prepared and ready.

I've got six characters ready to be played in ME3, and I'm working on a 7th right now.

I do hope that "losing" is actually a viable option. While you could technically lose the suicide mission in ME2, you REALLY had to force yourself to do so. Shit, it was more difficult to kill everyone in that mission than it was to finish with everyone alive. I hope they've learned from that and make it a bit tougher to finish perfectly and a bit more possible to finish poorly (or disastrously.)
