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!

@zungerman090: Jack looks kinda weird from that angle, looks like she's got a pony tail but the rest of her head is shaved.

Gotta love that tender moment between Shep and Ashley. :)

They just had to throw the sex snippet into an otherwise excellent trailer. Thanks, Bioware.

I take it you've never seen a trailer for a movie before?

No need to start the Bioware hate train because they imitated countless trailers before that involve sex scenes along with massive amounts of action.

Don't think I'd say making Mass Effect look like an action movie is what I'd call excellent.

What am I saying, it is an action movie now. Bleh.

What about making DLC before development cycle is over and only give it to people who buy the collectors edition. Not only that but its a Prothean party member, which is almost a must have if your a Mass Effect long term fan

Yeah, I just hope that instead of winning several people to your cause you are working to get the various races to mobilize their armies and cooperate to fight the Reapers.

I literally yelled "YOU TELL 'EM GARRUS!" when he was talking to Shepard. I just want to play it so badly.

@Bassman2112: I don't care that there is romance in Mass Effect. I think it's a fun thing to have in the game, in fact. But their sex scenes are damned awkward and don't merit advertisement. NFL promotional videos don't show holding penalties, either.

This is not the Mass Effect game we deserved. It is the Mass Effect game we needed. Our watchful protector. Our Dark knight.

You're right - the only way to do that is with awful one liners and by jazzin' up the camera shots.

"Anything less... and you're already dead."

And that soundtrack? Oh my.

Yeah this is a little more and seems a lot better than I imagined how Mass Effect would end.

There should be a late-game decision with two options:

a) Kill the Reapers and save the Galaxy

b) Stay in bed with [insert Shepherd romance partner here]

I'm not going to respond to any of that except for asking you to please do what I did in my reply and cover up that spoiler. I've been avoiding them for the whole run up to this game and you just ruined a bit of it for me.

Man I don't think I've ever been as apathetic towards a game until now. Even My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie's Party made me more excited for games than this. Sadly billions of people think otherwise. :(

You know what, screw everyone who has been hating on this game since the start. Sure, Bioware screwed up the earlier marketing, but this trailer makes it seem like the entire game is on par with the suicide mission in ME2, and that makes me giddy as all hell. Also, space battles. So many goddamn space battles.

And that soundtrack? Oh my.

lol what, were you expecting the slow Citadel song? Or how about the track from the Galaxy Map? That works PERFECT for a trailer.

And yeah, jazzing up camera shots is effective. It's called cinematography. It's what keeps conversations from looking like the usual kinda shitty over the shoulder blank stares to something dynamic and engaging.

I literally cannot comprehend people who can watch this trailer and not be blown over by all the fucking phenomenal awesome. 
 
Sure, I'm biased, as a massive fan of the first two and sci-fi in general but people who aren't excited by this are clearly DEAD ON THE INSIDE
