Man, I hate fans. I hate the wya they present themselves, even. It's why I do my best to not talk about Mass Effect outside of a couple of threads every few months. I like Mass Effect more than any other new IP this gen, but you gotta control that, you gotta be a bit chill about it...

Same here. Mass Effect on par with the Souls series are amongst my favourite of this gen, but like all things, moderation is a good thing when you talk about something you enjoy. 

The ME series is suffering from the same effect when almost all VG series gain a big mainstream fanbase = schims when a faction of fans think that the series is "theirs" and only their opinions and knowledge of how the series should have gone is the right one.

True. It's something of an endemic problem with Mass Effect, though, and has been ever since certain fans took "ownership" of the design of the game as it was in the first entry.

Still. ME3 seems to be pleasing a lot more of the general fandom, which is good. Carl's excited! That is a good sign.

Yeah, Carl's taking a liking for ME3 really surprised me, especially after all the things he said on the Spike VGA trailer thread  

But I see why ME3 is pleasing more of the general fandom. The Role-Playing mode is basically a pretty good mix of ME1 and ME2 mechanics and there's much more depth now with the skills trees than before and much more class combinations can be made which will lead to many more variations on the gameplay approach. 

Personally, I would love to see the Mako exploration levels coming back, but I know that would be an impossibility, not only for the scope that ME3 has got to have (it's basically the entire galaxy, not just some fragments like on ME1 or ME2) and this time is a true race against the clock to stop the reapers from fucking up the galaxy more than they already have . Though I figure that I'm pretty much one of the few fans that loved the Mako levels xD.
