@Mister Jack, mine's pretty similar to dean's:

I played it for 4 hours. There are 9 worlds, with 2 acts per world, plus all the challenges. I haven't played many of the challenges yet though.

Holy crap that's fantastic.

tbh, there HAD to be some sort of deus ex machina. After the events of the previous games there's no way the races of the galaxy were prepared to defeat the reapers without it. I did think though that their explanation later in the game for the origin of that deus ex machina from the beginning is pretty cool.

Oh yeah, I wasn't really looking for some kind of explanation consistent with the universe of what was actually happening, I was just wondering what caused people to think that in the first place. Also, re: stuff getting changed later, this just occurred to me: Han shot first.

Well and I personally don't want them to change the ending (except, as I keep saying, to possibly fix that one really terrible plot hole), I just want something to expand on the events subsequent to the ending. I know there are others who want them to actually change it, but I hope that doesn't happen. Interesting (and tangential) question: what does the concept of a "absolutely finished product" mean when they were already planning to expand it with DLC? I mean, obviously there's more that they already intended to add on. Not criticizing your point, it just got me thinking on this.

Oh I agree there are plot holes, I was just wondering about

As for the first question As for the second question, yeah that bugs the shit out of me too.

I quite enjoyed it. People were right, it was just the first level that was so easy that made it seem like you weren't playing a game. Overall I actually think I enjoyed the 2D levels more than any other previous Sonic game I've played.

Why do you care? I mean, if you don't want a new ending then don't download the new ending DLC when it comes out. It doesn't affect your experience at all. *Edit* - Also, I think it's funny to call people troglodytes for saying a shitty, cobbled-together-at-the-last-minute ending is shitty, and ask for something better. Someone on twitter pointed out that directors change the endings to their movies all the time, it's why they have test audiences.

I hope the don't retcon away the apparent consequences of the endings that are there right now, I just want some kind of epilogue or something to let me know wtf happened after. Also I want to fucking know

Oh yeah, unlike a lot of people, I'm perfectly okay with *Edit* - An after-the-end DLC where you

Yeah, I've been saying from the beginning that a slideshow like that is all I want.

Oh I agree with you that the DS3 d-pad isn't the best pad ever. I like the 360's disc design better than the 4 separate buttons, it's just the detection on that thing is so crappy... Anyway, my ideal d-pad would be a disc pad like the 360's with press-detection precision like the DS3's.

I agree with this. I don't want anything changed (again, except for I'd be okay with them changing that one wtf plot hole I mentioned in spoilers above), I just want it expanded upon.

Oh please, there was no artistic integrity in the ending of this game to start with. The behind-the-scenes app shows that the ending was cobbled together at the last minute. Ordinarily though I'd be inclined to agree with you.

You're right, there was always some in the works, that's why I also quoted the part where they said "this is in addition to our existing plan..."

Yeah I was able to play them just fine with the 360's d-pad, I'd imagine that in comparison it would be heaven to play on PS3.

http://blog.bioware.com/2012/03/21/4108/ w00t! Unlike some, I don't actually want them to change the events of the ending (except perhaps ), but I do want them to expand on the events to give us more understanding of what ultimately happens.

Well that's why they didn't drink water, but distilled spirits are also safer to drink.

Casino Nights was always my favorite level on the older Sonic games.

I think this is a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't." If the DLC character is integrated well into the rest of the game like Javik then people will say "this is central to the game, it should have been included!" Whereas if the DLC is just tacked on and not integrated well like Kasumi and Zaeed of ME2 people will say "this is shoddy work, you should have put more effort into integrating it!"

Oh yeah, I want to see what I got in my packs... *Edit* - The most exciting thing I got was the Viper II. I got the N7 Hurricane, but I don't use SMGs on any of my characters.

Probably. I know I've talked about it with people in person before.

It's not pointless, they are two very different styles of game, a distinction needs to be made. But like I said the names are stupid. Anyway, "action RPG" it is for this one then. That answers my question.
