Mass Effect 3 Trailer Confirms Earth is Screwed
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
On the one hand, I am extremely excited for Mass Effect, and can barely with hold all of my excitement without shifting into all caps mode.
On the other hand, I'm not thrilled about the whole "Reapers Attacking Earth" plot for the game. The only way I would be okay with it is (I believe a poster or two mentioned it above) if the Reapers destroyed Earth in the opening sequence of the game, leaving it up to you to gather a team and rally the universe to stop the reapers once and for all.

And now I gotta wait a whole frakin' year to enjoy the awesomeness? Damnit. Looks like next November is gonna be the month the Earth stood still between this and TES V.
The more I hear about this series, the less faith I have in Bioware. I'm sure Dragon Age 2 will also add to this.
So, a game everyone knew was going to come out was teased and held in extreme secrecy?
I'm ultimately dissapointed, BioWare.
The trailer's really cool, though.

If the trailer's footage is to be believed, a TON of reapers attacks Earth. It takes some pretty devastating weaponry to destroy just one, Joker got off a good shot because THAT particular Reaper was preoccupied with Sheperd and kinda got a huge mental kick to the teeth by losing. That many Reapers, I'd say Earth is definitely dog food. I swear there were subtle hints in the games that humanity would eventually end up like the quarians.The87Italians said:
Gotta love how everyone always complains that teaser trailers never ever ever.. ever show anything about the actual game (EVER!!!) and yet, apparently, this teaser trailer has suddenly revealed the entirety of ME3, including how it plays, in all of 30 seconds of pre-rendered footage.
Anyway, it sounds like a great setup to me. Yes, going to Earth is a little cliche but who knows how much time, if any, will actually be spent on Earth. Also, while taking the fight to Earth may not necessarily be as grand in scale as somehow showing the entire universe, it's certainly a very good way to immediately make the story very personal. Beyond that, I think it's way too early to start making any proclamations about what will and won't be in ME3, or what it will play like.

Oh man I just saw this, I am so very very pleased right now, add this with Elder Scrolls 5, I'm surprised I don't have a woody

Must prioritize. ME3 first (because it has an end). TES V second (because it will devour my entire life). God damn, I have never been this happy. Ever. ...ok maybe I have, but this is seriously an RPG fan's wet dream right here.
*begins foaming in the mouth.* Yeeeessss.... I don't care if Bioware was being a Jerk, i will forever love them either way. Though whats so special about humans?

meh, looks kinda lame, I mean they made alot in the plot about how if the reapers all came then the galaxy was pretty much effed and now, not only are there multiple reapers on earth but its the standard, only one person can save us bullshit. ugh.... I just know there is gonna be a "I win" button some where in the game to, I really hope they dont fuck this up but right now Im not impressed
it looks like some crappy cod game, yeah I know this is just a cinematic but its one of those stupid ideas like america being invaded by Jamaica or something

I found that odd as well. I mean yeah thats a huge number, but I'd expect it to be more. Especially seeing as how Sovereign just steamrolled through everything at the end of the first one, and still destroyed a large chunk of ships while simultaneously fighting you.SteelStallion said:
It seems with both, they went with the first game being "you can't do this alone, get lots of allies, plan your strategies, mind your choices and their consequences. With your allies at your side, you may have a chance to win."DeadlyYellow said:
Plus they're pretty deep RPG's.
With the second set of games, its more like "Can you KICK the most ASS to succeed?! Your a BADASS! So BADASS your way through the game and KICK the bad guy's ASS! HARDCORE!!"
Granted I'm not sure if DA2 will go that route, but according to the current news, that seems to be the way they're going.
I sense a pattern forming...
