So how SPOILERY is this? Will I see the entire game? Because I really wanna see this trailer

Plot wise not spoilery at all. But it does appear to have a lot of cut combat scenes that have a high probability of occuring toward the end. Sorry for being vague, i'm sure you understand.

Great trailer, the music is amazing. I have avoided a lot of coverage about this game recently but after watching this trailer color me excited.

In all honesty, and I don't know if anyone else will agree with me, but in my experience from reading lots of sci-fi/fantasy books, it's very common for the soldier-y, save-the-world kind of characters to have some sort of ability kind of split themselves into an outside "Save the world unflinchingly" persona, and an inside shell that is protected from the psychological trauma one might encounter.

I didn't find it all that unbelievable that Shepard could be getting his bone on during all of this. We all need relief in some way, and having someone to hold you in their arms and give you that love you desperately need amidst so much chaos seems like a perfectly natural thing. I mean, I kind of don't understand them just randomly throwing it out there as, I don't know, some kind of selling point, but the act in itself isn't unfeasible...

6 more days...

Haven't watched the trailer yet because of spoiler fear but I'd rather see a femshep version of this trailer, anyone know if it's coming?

Wow, just god damn wow. This looks so damn epic and I love me some Clint Mansell.

Clint Mansell only did the piano part at the beginning. The rest is called Protectors of the Earth by Two Steps form Hell

Man, I really want this to be good.

Soon...

Liara actually brings that up in the Shadow Broker DLC.

God that trailer was amazing. I'm glad they finally made one that is more story heavy then action-packed (though still plenty of action!)

Reminded me just how god-damned much I love Mass Effect.

Somehow I hope I can recruit the Illusive Man....I don't think I could kill Martin Sheen in any form.

Watched this and just got a stiffy... LOL

Sheperd is boning while Reapers are killing people every second on Earth.

Personally I would probably not be able to get an erection thinking of all those dying children, GO SHEP!

so pumped for Mass Effect

This is going to be awesome.

Damnit, I wish I had played the other games.....  I know its not too late but this trailer is so damn good

Hnnnggg

Come over to the dark side of PC gaming. Buy the game, download the silly retailer exclusive DLC. Fight for your freedom*!!!

*(freedom from silly preorder/tie-in/retailer/facebook dlc)

I play most games on PC. I'm buying so many copies because I'm buying the game for both the 360 and PC. For each platform I'm buying the CE from Amazon, then standard copies from GameStop and Origin. The hassle of returning the extra copies after I redeem the DLC isn't going to bother me nearly as much as it'd bother me to not have that content.

To touch on your point, pirating DLC wouldn't allow me to play multiplayer.

Gotta say I have zero issues with this EA release...!

@Shaanyboi: Ahh, had no idea. Cheers for the info duder, now to the youtubes to hear more of their stuff.

Considering they've improved the mechanics, the RPG stuff, the audio/visual punch, and added some pretty fun multiplayer (all based on my demo time), if they nail the story... this will be my favorite game of this generation.

Ok, I was already getting the game, but the trailer actually did more for me than all of their other nonsense combined previously.

Speaking of previous ME3 nonsense, how do they release a live action trailer and /not/ get Vanderloo, Shepard's face model, to be in it? Hell, they had Samara's face model at PAX in full Samara garb.

Edit: Wait, holy fuck, upon repeat watching, both Mordin and Thane are alive. Fuck yes. Especially after I kept seeing repeated rumors of death of sickness/old age.

Nice trailer, but they could have chosen some better quotes "if you're not a fan now is the time to start" really?

ADRENALINE: THE GAME.

So, Mass Effect 3 seems like a pretty cool guy.

I don't throw the word around all willy-nilly, but I think it would be epic

Looks epic!

My corporeal form is prepared.

I'm happy to see so much positivity in a Mass Effect thread! This game looks awesome.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

And that soundtrack? Oh my.

Two Steps from Hell-Defenders of Earth

That group is just great! They used them in the last trailer too.

I'm ready to give the Reapers back their bomb!

I'm ready to give the Reapers back their bomb!

I declare Heart of Courage to be a better tune than this one, but I am absolutely shitting my pants at the sight of that space battle.

I'm just going to say I'm glad I was nice to Legion. We need Geths...lots of them.

Can't wait to see this movie!!!!

I tried to think of the things that I am looking forward to hopefully seeing in ME3, and the list was far longer than I thought:

EDI + Joker, Miranda, Kasumi, Normandy SR2, the Council, Mordin, "The Shadow Broker", Anderson, Samara, Kaiden, the Citadel, Legion, the Illusive Man, Aria. I know in the back of my mind that I am forgetting a few.

I apologise for that stream of people and places, but I only just realised now how many parts of this universe I really love.

Edit: Also the Destiny Ascension kicking some butt.

This is never funny. I don't know why people keep saying it.

Anyways, I can't freaking wait. My head asploded.

So I guess there are some romantic interactions in this video game.

There are some game reviewers on my friends list that are already playing this and I am super jealous.

No amount of time, money, school, work, or Reapers is going to stop me from saving the galaxy and boning Liara for a third time. March 6th, where you at?

Man o man!!! Best trailer i have EVER seen! Music is perfect... I'm soooo fuckin' excited!!! ME3, why can't i play you NOW!?!? I WANT YOU SOOO BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!:O:P:(

trying to finish ME2 on insane before this comes out

Oh my god. Tears will be shed at the end of this game.

Only a couple more days now.

wow you can see grunt/wrex dying in this trailer that's cool

Fuck yeah!

"Get ready to die or else you'll die"

"Give 'em hell you were born for this"

Who the fuck wrote this shit? I thought the one-liners were terrible in the demo but this is just god fucking awful.
