@Ghostiet:
I realize "filler" was a badly chosen word so I take it back. Bioware uses the different character threads to flesh out the universe and make you feel more invested in the story. This doesn't always work, in my opinion, making it feel more like unnecessary obstructions.

 

But whatever your opinion on recruiting party members, I don't think ME3 will be completely free from it. That was my point to begin with.

 

(As you probably can tell, I wasn't exactly blown away  by every character side story. So if that was the core of the game it's just a string of unrelated character bits, and sometimes you fight the collectors. For me, the core is the main story that will span all three games.)

@OmegaChosen:
I'm affraid Bioware uses the recruitments as filler for every game they make and I don't think ME3 will be any different. My guess, the team splits up, again, and you have to recruit them all, again.

I just hope we get served a little more twists and turns with the main story this time.

@niamahai: 
I hope I can get Shadow Broker for the PC version, then.

 

Yes. They have to conclude each story for the characters. If not during the game, then at least in some massive end scene.

I just finished ME2 the other day and it left me with a strange bitter aftertaste. Did I spend 40+ hours just rounding up my team for a short end mission? I know I sound picky since the game is extremely well made in every aspect. But the story was so weak I can barely remember it (cockroach aliens kidnaps humans, stop them... is that it? Sounds like a bad episode of Dr. Who).

 

The character drama was great. The moral choices were fine. The action was satisfying. The RPG elements were sparse (at best).

 

So am I crazy for thinking ME1 was a more fun game? It had a much more fleshed out story with a couple of great twists that made sure that not only the beginning and the end mattered.

 

(I know. The gameplay wasn't that great. But it was good enough).

I actually just finished ME2 yesterday so I don't mind the break. I'm pretty space fatigued at the moment.

Option D is the only one that matters to the big audience. A, B and C only matters to us who cares to read an article or two about games.

 

L.A. Noir has to prove itself because, frankly, so far it looks like a interactive movie. Slow cars, weak guns and uncanny-valley-faces. Where's the fun?

 

I, myself, are exited to see the end product. Hope it'll be good.

Grinding through hours of boring filler only to see a number turn to 100%, no thank you. I used to do this when I was younger and had no money to buy a new game.

 

A more important question. Have you ever gotten any real good content or backstory only because you completed 100%? I don't think so, it's a waste of time (if you don't happen to love the gameplay anyway).

They need to go crazy with the puzzles. The whole single player campain felt like a preparation, to ease the player in to the different elements. Just throw it all together and blow our minds (wich would not be a hyperbole in this case).

 

I would like that.

God of War 3. I'm not saying it was bad but I was expecting so much more, or something different at least. I had to play the second half with some friends just to push through it. When I got bored they took over. But hey, that's what friends are for.
