Not sure exactly what issues you're having, but I'm having a ball with the combat system - the new maneuverability and verticality to environments is a welcomed addition and both the biotic and tech powers feel really good. I'll make a list  - Removal of Power Wheel removes strategic elements. - No ability to choose what powers my companions use. - All I can command the squad mates to do is "Go there" or "Attack That", nothing else. Even ME1 allowed more than that! - The cover system is terribly implemented, half the time I try to go into cover I don't, and its too easy to pull yourself out of cover instead of moving along to a better position. The ability to lock yourself into cover was one of the vast improvements from ME2/3 over ME1 combat, I've no idea why they'd abandon it. - Though I love the exploration elements of the jetpacks, I feel they're absurd for combat. It makes combat flighty when I'm just zipping around like the Flash. The only bit I like is that you can move to higher ground. - There is no weight to the melee animations I've seen. When Ryder is using the Omni-blade it looks more like he's tickling the Kett than stabbing them. - I liked the idea that we have to assign ammo items to a weapon rather than having a skill, but even that they did worse than ME1. It is some kind of power up rather than being an item you assign to a weapon when setting it up. ME1's system worked best for that. - Its not even intuitive to add different ammo types to the weapon selector ingame from what I've seen. I couldn't work it out after hours of play, so I just didn't use ammo varieties after my first ones ran out, I just used the items that are shoved into the weapon wheel for me. In fact, I'd say many of the UI elements are a bit iffy. They look pretty enough, but they aren't well designed. And if I can't find it, someone who has been gaming far too much his whole life, then I know others will struggle with it. I'll have to discourage my dad from attempting Andromeda as I know he'll be utterly confused by the UI. |

Yeah, your best bet is to avoid any reviews too. Those contain loads of spoilers. |

Too right Viper. I've had my head in the sand for weeks now. Like Sil said, there's reviews and reveals all over the place. Why do we want to watch 20 minutes of Peebee's loyalty mission? Come on.... Still. 1 Day  Feels like Christmas. |

I'd say that their marketing strategy has been awful. Too much of the story revealled through those 20mins of loyalty missions, and they should -never- have revealed the Angarra. The whole point of a new galaxy is that we get to see new aliens, why ruin them by revealing them all? Very bad choice. Looking forward to playing more of the game on thursday though. |

Meh, I'm used to this from Bioware and Mass Effect, to be honest  the pre-release marking for ME3 was f*cking awful with some terrible decisions made by both BW and EA marketing (anyone here happen to remember the whole "Awesome Button" bullshit? lol) |

They really need to refine their marketing department. |

No, there's was some jackass for BW's marketing or community relations just before the release of ME3 that tried to sell new players onto ME3 as being the "best place to enter the series, without needing to ever play ME1 or ME2", who came up with one of the dumbest slogans I've ever heard about a game  to paraphrase it, he said something like "In ME3, when you press any button, something AWESOME always happens!" |
