Looking forward to the extended cut. For a cinematic trailer that seemed very... disjointed.

The reapers destroyed it and now it's up to Shepard to restore dubstep to the galaxy...one drop at a time.

The Reaper sound design in the demo was absolutely terrifying.

I'm just going to assume the game's gonna combine the best gameplay aspects of the first two into something great. But if the main narrative disappoints as much as 2's did... I will be sad. Despite the cool character development, the story arc just couldn't compete with how amazing the first was.

@csl316: I agree that the overall story was lacking, but that character stuff was so good. I hope they at least get one of the two right in ME3.

Seriously, I loved ME and kinda loved ME2, and was really excited for this after playing Arrival last year, but, I just...don't care. I can't think of any good reason why.

What is up with the children in the game and trailers? It's dumb and out of place in a Mass Effect game.

I hope this game doesn't involve a lot of squad combat in bombed out urban environments on Erf.

I'm not interested in Battlefield 3 no matter what skin textures you throw on it.

Yeah, right down to the splicing of the dropping of the toy ship, with the cut to Sheperd picking it up. Except in the Halo 3 trailer it was Master Chief's helmet.

I'm looking forward to this game. I love Mass Effect. But at the same time, I'm terrified. Ever since Dragon Age 2, Bioware's cloak of invincibility has been punctured for me. And the more I read about all of the peripheral tie-in bullshit for this game, the unnecessary addition of multiplayer, and their comments about how you could get a satisfying story experience from this game without playing the first two, the more worried I get that Bioware is being infected by the bureaucratic considerations that come with being bought up by a massive publisher like EA. And it makes me worry about how this game is going to turn out.

I hope I'm wrong. I'm a huge fan of the Mass Effect universe, and played the first two games multiple times.

@DoctorSage: Seriously. They're trying a bit too hard... I feel like the ME2 ads were more impactful, and given the circumstances of 3 that should not be the case.

I dunno. As much as I try to force myself to love these sequels I am having a real hell of a time guys... Mass Effect 1 is one of my favorite things ever. Movie. Game. Just anything. Mass Effect 2 I tried to enjoy, I didn't give it a fair shake I compared it to the vastly superior Mass Effect 1 and I ended up not enjoying myself. I know I'm partially to blame for that. But I am so damn disappointed they had to go and change the formula so much to appeal to a wider audience.
