Mass Effect 3 (PC) just unlocked for us Europeans 2 hours ago. Love it thus far. Especially the weapons/weight/upgrade system seems awesome.
I imported a ME2 character and started out being something like lvl 20. Wierdly I wasn't able to chose combat difficulty from the onset. I take it there are no difficulty related achievements? Anyways - I intended to play the game on Hardcore. Saving the galaxy from the reapers must be appropriately hard. Hardcore turned out to be way too easy. Guess starting out overleveled had something to do with it. Mostly though, I accredit the lack of difficulty to the game's AI. My companions are as effective and deadly as they never were before and the enemies no longer bumrush me Kamikazi-style. They flank, they throw grenades, they push up - in short, they try and they try hard, but they don't just walk up to me and shove a shotgun in my face like they did in ME1 & 2 on high difficulty settings. The AI plays fair, respectively is super-useful.
Hence - within an hour, I decided to dedicate myself to Insanity from the get-go. Tell you what - it feels just right. At least on PC - with swift KB&M aim precision and an abundance of hotkeys.
What about you guys? Gone Insane too?
