If she's not covered in blood during the sex scene, I'm not buying.

I'm looking forward to this game, but thought this video was a disservice to it. Not very interesting and the comic aspect was badly directed.

That trailer was pretty bad, but then again most of the trailers for this game have been bad. I'll wait for the reviews.

One thing I don't like about the look of this game is how expressionless the faces are.

I'm starting to believe that Activision has secretly infiltrated EA's marketing department.  It's hard to explain why these trailers even exist... unless they're actively trying to keep people from buying.

Bioware's in-house engine doesn't look too impressive. Why not just stick with the fully working Unreal 3?

Poor graphics, wooden animation, and no matter how good the story may be Bioware that was some ordinary voice acting. 
 
This is a generic fantasy game, being marketed as 'not a generic fantasy game'.

OMG Crazy no animation around the eyes really makes that look horrible! Come on Bioware this is the year 2009! We've seen the source engine! You need to put more animation into the characters' faces, the graphics look O K but not really special at all for 2009 :( I'll buy it anyway though its Bioware and its a RPG so yea I'm sold.

Pretty much took the words out of my mouth. The talking and movement animations looked really wooden and underwhelming.

I still have high hopes for this game, but really, ME2 trailers are all amazing, what is it that makes it near impossible to make a good freaking trailer for this game?

I sure hope Bioware improves this game a little more before shipping it out.  This trailer did not impress me much in terms of the game's style and technology.

this game has had more press on it than any other game i can remember. i have seen so many teaser trailers i think i could write a wiki about it that would rival some games that have been out for a few months.

Actually, there has been one good trailer.  But it wasn't this one.
 
Also, 2009, no bowstring.  I'm supposed to be living on the fucking moon by now and still no bowstring.

I got to play the PC version of this recently and I must say the graphics were significantly better than what was shown in the trailer.
 
As for gameplay it was fantastic. I'll be getting this day one.

The trailer is obviously on an unfinished build of the game. Oh and didn't Mass Effect have bad pop in on consoles? That is an amazing game. I'm actually really excited it. It's a Bioware game, it's going to be good.

@fallen_elite: It does not excuse it. Texture pop-in is horrendous and THE worst thing for ruining the immersion in a game. I'm looking to work in game QA and this is basic stuff....

Suddenly they look less like the makers of Mass Effect and more like the makers of Jade Empire. Do not want.

Why do they insist on using that god awful Marylin Manson song in all their promotional videos? It's getting in the way of my interest of this game.

Great game (hopefully)
 
BAD MARKETING. 
 
God dammit, EA, don't drag Bioware down. All this "whoo teh blood and sex and teh heavy metalzzz" is really annoying me, though I remain optimistic about the game. (Not saying, blood, sex or heavy metal can't work with a fantasy setting, just don't have such a fixation with it and make sure the metal is actually GOOD!)
