An Explosive Mass Effect 3 Trailer For "FemShep Friday"

[Zhukov]

My first impression is that this is the first trailer for ME3 that makes me want to buy the game. My second impression is, "wait a minute, that was all cut-scene footage!".

Now don't get me wrong. I've slogged through a lot of bad gameplay for some good cut-scenes. But then again, I've never paid full price for a game I bought for the story.

Glad I didn't pre-order...

*Bioware releases gameplay footage.*

"Waaah! Where's the story, Bioware? This is shit!"

'This isn't about strategy, or tactics...'

Oh that's just great.

I'm don't like how they are still running with the 'bureaucrats are bad' theme. I mean come on...

 

[shado_temple]

Hell yes.
As for the rest of it...
- Did that car-hopping ninja have a Cerberus symbol on his chest?

There's some speculation that the ninja-like Cerberus character might be Kai Lang, a name of which means nothing unless you've read the books.

OP: I need to stop watching these, as it's already difficult waiting for early March without being reminded about how I'm not playing it yet.

I haven't read the books, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of him.

Illusive Man's cleaner, right? Not to keen on aliens or something?

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

I'm all about DudeShep myself - BroShep, whatever you want to call it

That all depends on whether he does what I tell him (occasionally telepathically!!) to do! We've, ahem, had words in the past.
Never occured to me to play as ShepMcBoobs, not sure why. Also not sure why the DudeShep VA seems to cause so much grr-ness. Never bothered me!

Glad to see Captain Awesomenderson is back though.

That's him. Rather fond of cereal, too.

This [http://www.newsarama.com/games/10-must-know-facts-mass-effect-novels-comics-mass-effect-3-110707-1.html] is a good list of things to know about Mass Effect that aren't in the games. I have read the books...sometimes I just want to be a fanboy, dammit! Haven't touched the comics, tough. I've just never gotten into that medium at all.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Why does she look nothing like the FemShep on the boxart?

C'mon Bioware, if you're gonna get people to do your job for you, at least make the character look right.

 

[The Dutchess]

Not my femShep but still badass. I love Jennifer Hale, she brings femShep to life. Can't wait to play ME3 and see all my old squad!

 

[uguito-93]

I started my first playthrough of ME1 with a male Shep but before long I restarted with FemShep. I think the reason is that Jennifer Hale's performance completely overshadowed her male counterpart's.

 

[Screamarie]

I started to watch because I thought it was cool they were finally using femshep and I wanted to see her being kick ass but as soon as FemShep mentioned being grounded I stopped. I want to see it so bad but I want to know as absolutely few details as possible when I get my ME3. 24 days, 4 hours, and 38 minutes till I can start playing with my femshep again!

 

[kaizen2468]

I'm 100% on FemShep's team. She's the most badass heroine I've ever played as, perhaps even hero. There's something more badass about FemShep to me. There are so many male leads in games like this. It makes her so much more interesting, so much more unique.

 

[Caligulove]

Now the endless debate begins- do I play as my legacy MALE character or FEMALE character first??

It's proving hard to choose.

 

[Fappy]

I don't like her makeup >.>

 

[Shavon513]

I'm glad we finally get to see a FemShep trailer, it was long overdue. Think I will stick with my customized FemSheps, though.

 

[xyrafhoan]

I really enjoyed watching this trailer, it's only pushed my anticipation of this game even higher! I didn't think it was possible.

However... Something about her face really seems off to me. I just can't put my finger on it. Ah well, that's what customization is for!

Maybe, despite the fact that FemShep is a badass soldier lady, she's still wearing a perfect application of lipstick and eyeliner? I don't think anyone who's running around as much as she does has time for makeup. After all, it clogs pores and cakes and cracks over time.

I'm glad that at least there is an official trailer for FemShep now, though. All the promo material for ME1 and 2 was also ManShep, even though you could pick your gender. Hopefully they follow through for Dragon Age and make the female side more prominent too.
