The only rock music that I ever want to hear In a Mass Effect game is music from Faunts.  Get those guys in this game again Bioware!
Hell yeah.  When I completed the first Mass Effect for the first time, I sat there and properly listened to that song and drank it all in. Such a good ending and M4 (Part II) bookended it perfectly.

Scripted action sequences and turret sequences in Mass Effect? Yeah okay....

Seriously ... we saw one turret sequence. If this is a 30is hour game and there are even a couple of them in there thats perfectly fine.

Exactly.
 Jeez you people really get you panties in a bunch.  If there are a few sequences it wont change the gameplay or the feel of the game. Chillax

Erm... Was I the only one who noticed that it's been pushed to 2012? What happened to "Holiday 2011"? Did I black out when everyone else mentioned it?

You don't deserve to be called a gamer.

Or deserve to be a member of the Giant Bomb community for that matter, this community is supposed to be only for those that actually love video games, not video-gaming industry rapists like yourself. Taking what you deem is yours for unfathomable sociapathic reasons that you claim are correct and uncorrupt.

Put simply, you're an asshole!

Don't worry, ME 3 isn't out until 2012. Also, how the hell does Origin.com make any difference in this? You seriously pissed off you can only buy SWTOR directly from EA?

Nah, you're probably just making up excuses why it's okay to steal your entertainment.

I wish they would change the armor. In Mass Effect 2 just about all technology from the first game had been replaced and upgraded, so that the game not only felt but also looked decidedly new and modern. It seems like this will be enough of a departure from the previous game in terms of gameplay but I fear the visual elements and design will feel too much like more of the same.

Is the trailer that Jeff said Bioware 'weren't showing after E3' ? I thought he said it was a Fall of Earth trailer... I am perplexed, but ultimately extremely bloody excited.

Oh man, it's on.

Although, the Reapers seem pretty weak now, they scaled them back... One was enough to seriously threaten the Citadel and some pretty huge spaceships. Now there's like a hundred of them, and Earth is holding up? Yay?

Sovereign was probably a high class Reaper.

If the Reapers need to leave someone to hang in the back , it makes sense to leave the strong one.

We're told explicitly in ME1 that Sovereign was the vanguard, the implication being that it was an elite Reaper. The tip of the spear, so-to-speak. It makes sense that the vast majority of Reapers aren't as powerful. Of course, that doesn't mean that Sovereign was the largest, most powerful Reaper either...

All of you are missing the point because Earth ain't putting up much of a defense at all and the Reapers are reaping the shit out of it.

Why the hell is Shepard shooting at a Reaper with a turret? Why would he think this is a viable strategy? It's as if Bioware has no interest in preserving any sort of sensible continuity.

Why are they doing this? Yet another trailer that makes it look like a straight up cover shooter...

I still need to play through with John Shepard and go through his story. I've done nothing but custom male so far. I like this, change can be good...but I hope the launch trailer brings back more of that emotional aspect. This game is supposed to be the best of both worlds so hopefully they'll show more of that in the future.

I'm gonna take a guess and say Harbinger hasn't made his grande appearance on Earth yet. When that happens, shit will get real.

Mass Effect trailers never work for me cause I watch them and just think how the person they are showing isn't Shepard,  at least not in my games.

Me too.  I love the charge ability, combine that with that new knife and MAN that's going to be fun. :)  
 
My big concern, as it was with 2, was that how "improved" are they making the combat?  Because my wife is NOT a big time shooter player. (Mass Effect 1 and 2 being the ENTIRETY of her shooting ability/experience) I'm hoping that setting it the casual she'll still be able to play and enjoy the game.  Otherwise I might have to do all the fighting for her. :(

It's probably already happening, but I see a YouTube channel dedicated to resetting all game trailers to the song "Power".

On my third playthrough of ME2 and can't wait to see how decisions there affect ME3. I know a lot of people complain about how they stripped the RPG elements out of the second one, but for me I think they struck a great balance between story and action.
