Sounds dull. I was trying to keep spoiler free with ME3, but I most definetely am not watching any videos or looking at any screenshots, and previews will be avoided completely. A game description isn't that bad though, the worst thing though is how predictable the story sounds, and you could also consider it to be a similar summary of ME2's story. Come on Bioware, we want chaos!

I think what a lot of people are missing about why we're annoyed is that BioWare can't even announce the game before they post spoilers. Yes, this might be minor...it may even appear at the same time as the destruction of the Normandy...but it's still something about the game that I'd rather not know until I play the game.



If they can't even announce the game before the spoilers start...what does that say about how many spoilers we'll get? This didn't even happen with ME2, and by the time that came out, we knew the Normandy was being rebuilt by Cerberus, who you were working with, Tali & Garrus would be the only returning squadmates, Jack was a psychotic biotic prisoner, Thane was on a mission to kill Nassanna Dantius, the Collectors were exterminating humanity, You had a shiny new Geth ally, and characters would die in the final mission if, and ONLY if, you went in unprepared. There's more obviously, but I think you're getting my point...even the casual observer would have had major plot points spoiled.

Well being that you don't even have any games registered you probably didn't even pay for Mass Effect 2 to begin with so you're hardly in any position to complain.

 If people don't want to be spoiled, they might want to, I don't know, maybe NOT read a thread with MINOR SPOILERS in its title, despite this being the no spoilers forum. 
As Chris Priestly has said before, they have to spoil something, otherwise they couldn't possibly make a decent marketing campaign. It's a difficult balance, but in the end it's up to each individual to decide if they want to risk getting spoiled by reading a thread which clearly states it contains spoilers...

oh ME3, how you tickle my fancy

[Kronner]

Earth under attack..well that just sounds as incredibly dumb story.

[tmacairjordan87]

From what I have to go with here, I'm not liking the preliminary direction this game is going. They're making earth and humans the center of the galaxy again like they did with 2, when the entire galaxy was at stake in ME1. Who cares if Earth falls? There's thousands of planets in Citadel space, Earth falling is not the end of the galaxy.



Then there's the multiplayer, which instantly drops a point or two when it's put into a single player franchise.

Look. If it's something important that happens during the course of the game, sure, I don't want to be spoiled. But people that complain about a short synopsis that's going to be on the packaging, are just being ridiculous.

To me Mass Effect was always about humanity finding their place in the galaxy so I don't mind Mass Effect 3 being centered around humanity.
The Salarians, Turians, Asari, Krogan etc. have been around for thousands of years and their stories have been told. Now it's humanity's turn to make their mark on the galaxy.

The Krogan saved the galaxy from the Rachni, the Turians and Salarians saved the galaxy from the Krogan and now it's humanity's turn to save the galaxy from the Reapers.

Considering the sheer number of humans left on Earth, it would mean a severe cut in human population. Not only that, but it's still humanity's core, even after they spread out to other colonies. In ME2, when they say the Collectors were going to go for Earth, the mere thought of that (plus the strategic musical cue) was pretty horrifying. Seeing a Reaper fleet heading directly towards us would feel much of the same, I wager. I see this as neither dull nor dumb.

Lol. Halo 3's last level was epic imo. To repeat it ME style..... Hopefully most of the story doesnt take place there.

[Elvis_Mazur]

That's it. I will just read this information and then watch the trailer (if there will be one), after that I will go to the darkest place I can find in order to protect myself againts spoilers.

[Code_R]

Seriously hope this doesnt turn out to be as predictable as that description. Then again if the main plot is much like ME2, then it will be pretty much that. The machine species that wants to erase all sentient life in the galaxy goes to Earth? Hurrr.....

Earth better not be the only plot-critical planet in the game - the reapers are a GALATIC threat, not just a human one. Hopefully its like ME2 where the suicide mission was revealed in the early stages of the game and you spent the next 30-40 hours preparing for the inevitable confrontation.

Anyways, I hope this doesn't also mean that multiplayer is going into ME3. As the last chapter in the trilogy it deserves to go out with the biggest bang possible; including MP will only dilute that experience.

The idea of the Collectors attacking Earth was a pretty silly idea when you thought about it.

The Reapers however....

1) It's not up to each individual when articles on the front of gaming pages say "Earth Under attack in ME3" and "Mass Effect 2: Garrus RETURNS!!!". The only choice the individual has in the matter is to cut themselves off entirely from all their gaming information.
2) No, you don't have to spoil anything...period. There are plenty of successful movies/games/etc that spoil very little, and still go on to garner an extremely large audience. For example: The 6th season of LOST. Not a single trailer before the season even used footage of the new season...they showed clips from previous seasons, and still had an amazing season. Terminator 2, they were perfectly happy to let people think that Arnold was still going to be the bad guy...they showed footage of the two fighting, but nothing to indicate that he was the good guy this time around.

Oh god. Yes. YES.

Lmao, I have to go watch that now. Hopefully Harbinger wont get too excited once he gets to earth.....

Haha!  THIS IS DELICIOUS! 

Exciting stuff indeed.  Despite EA letting the cat out of the bag in this way, still looking forward to tomorrow.

Guess we won't be needing the trailer tomorrow, want me to get rid of it?

Don't be hasty. Not until I see those forum moderators pummel to dust, which should be any moment now.

*Sees Earth in Mass Effect 3*
*Cue Epic Bagpipe music*
YES!
YES!

Well, in the teaser, they did say something about gathering races, didn't they? I wager it'll be something like in Dragon Age: Origins, going around, gathering allegiances. The asari (probably Thessia?), the turians (Palaven?), the krogan (Tuchanka?), and so on.

Well this is awesome!



The end of our Shepards' stories is that much closer

It may be humanity's core, but there's trillions of other citizens from all the other species in the galaxy.  Earth falling does nothing for or against them.  This is Bioware falling into that typical Sci-Fi trope that humanity is the all powerful, all important beings in the galaxy (which completely negates all the progress they made with ME1, where humanity felt small compared to the council races).

[syllogi]

Welp, they might as well open the Mass Effect 3 discussion forum now. Any information from the trailer tomorrow night will just be icing, at least for the time being.

Yeah, I think it'd be pretty idiotic if they considered the Reapers a purely human threat. They're not. That said, the Reapers are taking an interest in Shepard after s/he destroyed Sovereign. They're human, so they're seeing humanity as a larger threat and taking the steps to destroy it first.
