Earth is lost. Cerberus betrayed you. Civilazations are on the brink of war. You have to destroy the Reapers, but you have no idea how.
This theme of despair and hopelessness, of not knowing which way to go.... This could be awesome.
I really like the theme of Mass Effect 3 (or at least what it's starting to seem like)

Well, they're just letting the players think on their own instead of leading them throughout the whole game.

As long as we're done wasting our time on shooting mercs and personal crises don't have the same level of importance as saving the galaxy, I agree. It's shaping up to be pretty good.

Kinda hard to take the Reapers seriously if they don't do any damage.

Who said Earth was lost?
I thought the whole point of the game was to SAVE Earth, you know.

Oh, no. It's f*cked. Gone. You have the pleasure of fighting for whatever smoldering rock is left.jamesp81 wrote...

Just think of "lost" in the sense of a military stronghold being occupied by the enemy. Only with casualties in the billions and basically everything in the enemy's way completely vaporized.

Paragon will drain all the awesomeness out of it. I guarantee it.

It's definitely shaping up to be very interesting. Casey Hudson emphasized on the hopelessness part in the GI coverage; he also said it was going to be a full-scale war feeling throughout.

Meh. Humanity is the most backwater racist and uninteresting race in Mass Effect, anyway.

THIS. Not going to fight for survival of a galactic civilization where myself and mine are reduced to quarian vagrant status or worse. That said, I am CONFIDENT there will be a renegade option that ensures human supremacy (and probably a paragon/neutral option that at least doesn't leave completely screwed) so I think it will be OK.
From the trailer's little quip about only, what was it 7 million? dead in the intial invasion that to me suggests the Reapers didn't slam Earth with cee-fractional velocity kinetic impactors like they easily could have... so perhaps the "lost" Earth is more "occupied" than destroyed. Genocide of a planet is exceptionally easy from space if that is your objective. Since it wasn't done immediately I assume it is not.

Isn't it though? This is the same world where emo music and sparkling vampires are highly praised. Also, your avatar is made of win.
As for human supremacy.. all you humans are racist.

Oh, and Earth is literally the first planet the Reapers takes over. Suck on that for a while.

Right, because earth=humanity, and its sooooooo much better to let us all die out because our feelings got hurt when earth was taken. screw the survivors on the other colonies, if earth's gone, we may as well let all of humanity and the rest of the galaxy follow, right? right. and about the 7 million? we have no context for that, that could (and probably does) mean in london alone282xvl wrote...
