Mass Effect 3 Launch Trailer Redefines "Epic"
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Finally a trailer that shows me the sort of things I have been waiting to see out of this game: giants space battles, character interaction, and more alien locales and actions.
Up until this point, the trailers have been about Earth, combat, and that omni-blade thing they never seem to get enough of.
It's a nice change, though I can't say I had the epitome while watching it that the writer did.

I am so hyped for that inevitable verbal ass whooping I shall lay down on that asshat!Avatar Roku said:That will be cool, but this is what I'm really waiting for:ChromaticWolfen said:
Also, I forgot to mention in my first post: this trailer is good, but I don't think it quite reached the point of being as good as the ME2 launch trailer. Hell, when you can have a character tell us to "fight for the lost" and have it actually still sound pretty cool, you've done it right.
So we finally get to see some aliens in a Mass Effect trailer. Was about time!
My personal high point of this trailer was Shepard's "Go to hell!" to the Illusive Man. I wanted to do that since the guy first showed up in ME2.

I'm with you guys. My first thought: Wow, that's the Destiny Ascension, isn't it? Second thought: Ugh, well, I guess that means one less ship in my fleet.ZeroMachine said:
"If you're not ready to die, you're already dead." Paraphrasing but... really? That ranks up there with "We fight or we die, that's the plan". Nope, that's what you do when all of your plans and back-up plans have failed and you have nothing left. Can we tell that Bioware's lead writer quit yet?
Okay, okay. It does look suitably epic and supposedly they fixed all the mistakes from ME2 (haven't seen any sign of that in the ME3 demo yet...) So it is still worth... downloading

Quoted for two reasons:ZeroMachine said:
1) Agreed.
2) The second half of the trailer's music (if you didn't know already) was done by a group called Two Steps from Hell. They create albums of nothing but purely "epic" music, and are definitely worth a listen. I hype them up every time I get a chance. I do love the actual music for the game as well for as much as we've heard of it; Clint Mansell (the guy they brought on for just this game) is doing a fantastic job.
Ok... HOLY SHIT! Now that's what I'm talking about! Too bad my Mass Effect 1/2 saves got wiped and I have to somehow play through both of them again before this one comes out...
Excuse me while I go find these guys, listen to them, and make a mess in my pants compromised of excitement, epic, and awesome.shado_temple said:

Apparently, when you first get to the Citadel from Earth, the Council just says "well, it's your fight, we don't give a shit". Fucking assholes.

Have you ever seen that movie... the one with the bald dude, and he has to keep his heart rate above a certain point, or HE'LL DIE? Crank, maybe?
That's exactly what I'm like, only I have to think about Mass Effect every 10 minutes. This isn't just a public service; I'm keeping myself ALIVE.
Just as i posted on youtube: Holy shitballs on a golden frizy being tossed by Chuck Norris on the back of a cyborg T-Rex to Raptor Jesus on the back of a flying turtle while the Old Spice Guy plays patty-cake with Master Chief in a volcanoe to the tune of Stairway To Heaven.
