Combat continues to look fun but holy poo poo the melee attack looks lame as hell. Like a little poke. I guess we can't all be Shepherd with her massive straight punches.

That's probably why you can craft melee weapons. Your regular punch sucks, so craft a Krogan hammer.

it's surreal watching people saying 'well the only thing i want to play is the multiplayer and it's the only thing i even care about'

I know, we don't even get Vorcha in it this time.

I won't lie, my expectations for the single player are lower than they were going into ME3, so I definitely can't blame people for being more excited about the Multiplayer.

Hopefully it's at least goofy space opera fun though, that's pretty much a guarantee, and about all I'm expecting, kind of sadly.

Looks like the trial takes about an hour for me to download at the current rate. :toot:

for decent ISPs.
I can't wait to enjoy hilariously bad animations.

Melee attack is based on your choice of melee weapon, so you can use a hammer or sword if you prefer.

As a goon, playing a character that looks dead inside will greatly help my immersion.

yeah, i hope the new melee weapons are better(asari swords and krogan war hammers)

here is my prediction. the game will be ok with various glitchs and dumb story beats. the thread will slowly start to like it after a week and so on until the next bioware release.

I find that I generally agree with Austin Walker, so this is the first thing that really matters to me.

And if you think the thread will improve after the game is released, you may need to think again.
