Come on, im not buying that Microsoft "Accidentally" put a Beta version of Mass Effect 3 on Xbox live. I think this is a great way of marketing it. Look at all the people talking about Mass Effect 3 now. http://su.pr/7X6YHZ

Yes, I'm not falling for it either. Specially when the website you mentioned posted news that happened yesterday.

Im entitled to have my view. I do think it could well be a marketing idea.
I saw it yesterday, and I really hope it was an accident. Because, frankly, what I saw was just... awful.

That's why I'm confident that it was an accident. Yes, it got people talking about Mass Effect 3, but it also has Bioware downright apologizing because what was released was so bad. This did nothing to make the multiplayer look cool, which is what Bioware will be working on when a real beta or demo comes out.

Good point. Im a little worried this game will not come out in March. I just have a sinking feeling that it may well get delayed. Lets hope not
The most saddening part is the "Action Mode/Story Mode/RPG Mode" choice in the beginning.
That's a sad, sad trend I hope doesn't happen in any other game.

I think they are doing this to bring in new players maybe. But yea im with you on that. If that is what has held the game up from its original release date I will be so pissed.
The thing is in order to make three separate modes of play like that, the story and gameplay on the most basic level will be weaker so that it can be picked apart in the other two versions regardless of what you choose.
If it's not the game for you, then it's not the game for you. They shouldn't try to cater to everyone possible in order to widen their audience.
And in regards to the beta itself, unfortunately stuff like dialogue is already recorded and is really, really bad. There's a sort of awkward delivery to it all and it follows some terrible cliches. Urgh.

Cheers for the invite guys . Im seriously excited about Mass Effect 3. I bet when the PS4 and new Xbox come out they will do a updated version (better visuals etc) on 1 disc with all 3 mass effects on.

Well, even before becoming a slut to the publishers, or perhaps their first instance of it, Bioware said that they were trying to get Call of Duty's audience.
The sad thing is that good, original games really just don't make the dosh that they should. So instead publishers push the developers to have a finger in every pie rather than just make a pie.

Good luck getting others to feel that way. Waaaaaaay too many people view Mass Effect as their own personal best friend to reserve judgement. Not specifically in Game Revolution users, but all over. I have friends who get seriously pissed when you poke fun of, or complain about any part of the games. I also have friends who act like Bioware pissed on their mothers graves by "releasing the pile of shit that is Mass Effect 2 to the public". (His words, not mine.)
Seriously, I agree with Nick. For the love of great games everywhere, let the game come out, fully, unleaked and in its entirety before we come to a conclusion. Then, if it deserves to be killed with fire, so be it.
