Mass Effect 3 beta barely resembles the final product. Read: at all.

For example, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The protagonist was originally supposed to be Simon Belmont and the game was suppose to take place in Dracula's castle. Instead, we got a brand new protagonist and story, along with exploring vast landscapes beyond the castle.
Another example is Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I. A beta was leaked online which showed multiple "errors" such as running animation, forced level gimmicks, and a mine cart and casino mini-game levels. Due to massive fan feedback, the two levels were replaced with two all new levels, the running animation was altered, you could run past the screen at the end of levels, etc.
So yeah, betas can really only scratch the surface of the final product. For this game, I don't see much change happening besides character balancing, fixing glitches, and maybe altering the levels a TINY bit, but yeah, that's it. As for games in general, lots of changes happen with betas all of the time. It's practically common knowledge.
I mean multiplayer pubic betas you dence **bleep**
Obviously games go through lots of changes
But onces a multiplayer game is in public beta thats what you're getting, and its just bug fixes and number tweeks from there on out

What beta's have you been in were there were major game changes, and what were they?
Stability! That changes gameplay, because right now I haven't landed any "real" combos, since people are teleporting around the stage.
You're saying, with your fancy pancy pictures, that the gameplay won't be more enjoyable and better when the connection become more stabile? You're a joke. A **bleep** off joke, that's all.

I'll be honest I was cringing reading some of those comments, I do not understand why people keep hating on this game.

Only good thing I could take from this video was the Fear Kratos skin.
I'm all for criticism but that wasn't a very constructive review. Oh and if I got a penny for every time this guy said "kool story brah," I'd be rich.
