So do I. I hope the game is just as good as the first if not better!

Garrus was my home boy. I look forward to hearing your review when you play the game.

Yeah, I've read this as well. Gamespot (6 score) and Polygon (7.5 Score) had a similar take while Forbes (8.5 score) and Kokatu (8.0 score) said the strength was the story and characters but criticized other things.
One thing I remember from 2007 with the original Mass Effect was how no one really liked Garrus or Tali much and they seemed one-dimensional but by ME3 they were two of the most beloved of the franchise. Hard to say if it's a case of not connecting with the characters right away or if indeed genuinely poorly written. Either way, I'm going to see it firsthand.

Just watched the IGN review of the game. Based on that alone I don't think I'm going to be buying the game anytime soon.

I'd post the IGN review here for you to see but it was a facebook video. Some of the key things that I took away from it was that there was no buy in on the other shipmates, the difference in species is lacking, and the worlds even though are vast are not too diverse when it comes to the structures. With the original trilogy, other than the beautiful gameplay, the best part about the ME series was the relationships you had with the other characters in the story. It seemed like this one doesn't have that.
And of course I've heard numerous things on the AI speaking/graphics problems but I won't pay attention to those critics since that will (or should) be hammered out by the launch of the game.

Yeah, if you're unsure that's the best way to go. It's wild - I just read the Forbes review giving it a 8.5 after Gamespot gave it a 6 so there is really no consensus on this game which is weird for BioWare as their games are pretty much universally praised. There was a lot of toxicity after the controversial endings of ME3 so I'm curious if that creeping into some of the reviews. Mac Walters, the project head, was the co-lead writer in ME2 and the lead writer in ME3 so he knows how to make great games with compelling plots and immersive universes. I'm playing this one because I really enjoyed what I saw in the trial and it appears to be similar in many ways to Dragon Age Inquisition, which won game of the year in many places and which enjoyed a lot. The reaction reminds me of Dragon Age 2 and how it really divided the Bioware fan base but even that was getting overall better scores than this one so I'm genuinely curious if the negative reviews are fairly assessed or hyperbole. I'll keep you updated.

Sessions probably downs a handle of scotch with male hookers nightly.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The military should be cut intelligently and thoughtfully.

Let me actually try to tackle this. It is not fair to blame a law or voters for the actions of a person. There are many factors at work here. Now, regarding the law. California is in a difficult position with overcrowded jails and a gigantic budget deficit. I get why they are trying to thin the population of prisons.
However, why don't we talk about all of the inmates whose crimes are drug related. It would seem prudent to me to let out non violent offenders early and exhaust that completely before releasing violent offenders.

If you're in the market for mattresses you should go to Pomona. There's always a used one on every corner.

Won't matter, Trump will just send Sean "Baghdad Bob" Spicer out to lie about it.

It would help if the AI told me homophobic slurs and the sexual habits of my mom to make it feel more real.

As they should. They paid like $4 billion for Lucasfilm. It's nice that they're pumping out quality stuff, rather than garbage.

Check your 2008 spank bank to see. I know she's in there.
