Mass Effect 3 Launch Trailer Redefines "Epic"

[mip0]

Seems great, and everything's awesome with Two Steps from Hell in the background.
She doesn't look like that though

I hadn't played Mass Effect until I downloaded and played the Mass Effect 3 demo and I have to say it was pretty underwhelming. Maybe I'll give it another crack later on, but I still don't see what the big deal is. Then again, some people don't see what the big deal is with the games I absolutely love either.

I just realized something I hadn't noticed before. The marketing guys must really hate Kaidan. I don't think I've seen him in any of the Mass Effect 3 advertisements.

I think they realized that a lot of the fan base despises him. I mean Ashley was a *****, but I mean at least she didnt put you to sleep when you talked to her.

OT: AHMYGOTHISISTHEBESTTRAILEREVAR!!!1!1!!!1!!!!!!!!111!!111!111

*ahem* Fanboying aside, I really like this trailer, it gets you pumped up for the game, and you can bet your ass come March 9th (Stupid Americans), Im going to be one very happy camper

Why does Garrus have an Alabama accent? I swear his voice actor is retarded. He keeps switching accents every 10 minutes. You'd think he knows what character he's playing.

 

[Yureina]

Not bad. But it still won't convince me to not buy the game. Sorry, but my morals can't be overcome by a trailer, no matter how nice it looks.

 

[Viirin]

If my choices in the games have the outcome I was aiming for, then the Geth, Rachni, Krogan, Batarian, Council and Traverse are all getting ready. Get ready, Reapers! The entire universe was waiting for me to show up! Eat it!
It's like an opposite episode of Doctor Who. But I'm the one singing 'here come the drums'!

Though I'm nearly hyperventilating in anticipation (not due to the trailer, but impending release date) I know I'll have to play both games over again, after I see the outcome of earlier choices.

Also, is anyone else hoping that the game they come out with in relation to the Mass Effect series includes Blasto?

If this truly is the case Im okay with that...you can imagine why X3

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

...aww shit...

...I need to go change my pants...

OP: Can't fucking wait! SO excited! had this bastard pre-ordered for months!

...and time has slowed to a crawl like it always does...

 

[Smiley Face]

]That will be cool, but this is what I'm really waiting for:

Spoiler

Same. Here. That and the chance to make it a hat trick of... well, of this:



Seriously, if she shows up again for a third knuckle sandwich, I might just die of laughter.

Does that make me a bad person?

Hah, that's gonna be fun. But I think I'll save the laughing my brains out for when Conrad Verner shows up to "save the day".

 

[violent_quiche]

Nice. While the tease is getting unbearable, I'd like to thank Bioware for at least thoughtfully releasing this the day before a long weekend.

 

[dessertmonkeyjk]

This is your proof, Shepard? Doctored video and lies. I didn't see any Reapers. I have no idea what you are talking about.

I can just imagine this guy, actually being picked up by a reaper, and still denying that they exist.

"Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil" is probably what he'll be screaming at the Reaper when he finally sees it.

 

[godofallu]

Good god that trailer was good. I'm rebeating ME1 right now and the story is just as strong today as it was years ago.

I stumbled upon a conversation with the reaper today. It caught me by surprise and I was in awe of the awesome. This traer is just so badass.

 

[Ninedeus]

So it ends.

Great trailer. Really liked seeing all the familiar faces and the snippets of battles to come. Now I'm pumped up. Have been keeping far away from any spoilers and been constantly checking my saves if they are still there.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Eh...get ready to be disappointed.

Spoiler: Very minor officially-revealed-in-other-countries spoilers

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.

I actually expected that. I think people would be pretty naive to think that it would go any other way. If it was that easy to do. The game would take all of a few hours to get to the final fight.

That is your problem, you didn't start at the beginning. You can't jump into a snippet of the beginning and other parts of the third part of a trilogy and expect to get everything that people are loving about it.

The people that are totally psyched and gush about it are the people that were there from beginning, the people that started with the first game and played it all in order.

It's like if I hadn't ever watched a Star Wars movie and watched parts of the Ewok sections and saw a speeder-bike crash into a tree, and then I said, "I don't get what all the fuss is over".

If all you played is the demo for ME3, you are playing/seeing events that you have no proper context to understand them.

The Mass Effect series is something that has to be started from the beginning to get the full experience.

I never really understood why when people try to get into a popular story or series, they never start with the beginning.

I never buy or play a new game, if I know there are games that came before that are linked to it, until I have played those games before hand. It really can't be done with games that have stories, and that is really what Mass Effect is about, the story.

 

[MarsProbe]

Seen this already, but was watching on crappy iphone-o-vision before, looks much better on a bigger screen.

Good trailer, and I'm relieved about the choice of backing music - as we were getting close to release, I was beginnign to worry that they were going to miss the opportunity to use "Protectors of the Earth" in an ME3 trailer. That would have been a missed opportunity.

Also, I have no idea what an "Inception BWAAAM" (or whatever the OP called it) is, so that particular reference went over me head.

It's going to be a long week this week - roll on friday!

 

[Talvrae]

Suddenly I'm a little worried about my decision to let the Destiny Ascension blow up in the first game...

same for me

Suddenly I'm a little worried about my decision to let the Destiny Ascension blow up in the first game...

Worried!? Ha!
Those puny aliens does clearly not have enough spine and guts (I'm serious, I have seen the autopsy) to do what needs to be done. Humanity will go the distance, make all the sacrifices needed, alone.

Why, yes I have a Renegade Shep all psyched up for combat.
