Mass Effect 3

[rodeo]

Winter 2011

Trailer came out last month, but here it is in case you haven't seen it yet.

Gonna be a hell of a ending to have a tech that can take out those fugers.

Trailer doesn't really tell me anything, but it's fancy lookin' atleast.

I hope that the majority of the game centers around the reaper invasion and the final battle and that it isn't just another series of "Go to planet A and find person B" missions with your collective decisions only coming into play in the same 2 hour gameplay "final battle" climax ME1 and 2 had.

That being said, I can't wait. My character is pure soldier and all of my weapons are OP as hell. Tech and Adept are fun, but guns don't take as long to recharge.

my hunch is that a lot of the game will involve recruiting like ME2 did. not really recruiting squad members, but races and sects. like you'll go to Wrex to recruit the united Krogan, and you'll go to Aria to recruit her Omega empire, etc.

i hope it's more creative than "Shepard, board the Reaper leader and upload this virus to kill them all."

Nailed it. Hopefully we at least get some interesting side missions.

The only thing I ever hear about this series is that you can have sex with space aliens.

bleh

They need to make sure the story, especially how it's told, is as good as it was in ME1. ME2 didn't have nearly as many 'oh poo' moments as the original.

[PanthersFanNY]

The conversation with Sovereign in ME1 was one of my favorite moments in gaming.

[SmootsDaddy89]

It's gonna be like Dragon Age. we're gonna recruit all the races. Hopefully the geth too, if you reprogrammed them.

RAAAAAAARGH RACHNI ARMY.

[rodeo]

ah yes, "Reapers." we've dismissed that claim.

[SmootsDaddy89]

I can't wait to roll up on Earth with my Krogan and Turian bros.

This is a spoiler heavy post, skip it if you don't want to know about ME3.

GameInformer is doing a big cover story on it on May.

Here are some details that have come out from it so far, confirmed by Bioware devs.

Confirmed squad mates:

Liara

Ashley/Kaidan

Garrus

James Sanders

Nobody knows who James Sanders is, but they were speculating it's that sniper in the trailer. A Bioware dev said that's not him.

Cerberus is out to kill Shepard.

You can carry any weapon with any class. You just have a limited number of weapon slots, which is higher or lower depending on class. (ie Soldier has like 8 slots to carry every weapon, Adept has like 2 or 3)

Ashley gets a new model, which is much needed. She has her hair down and looks better.
