Seems like Casey Hudson took a notice of this thread. 2 tweets regarding this issue within the last 45 minutes. Now that's what I like to see.

It makes me feel a little better that he's obviously on damage control. Silverman got SLAMMED on Twitter earlier.
Poor guy.

I think it's his lines to be honest. "Button > Awesome" and "Keep your fingers on the pulse" are kinda cheesy.

Oooh, moar complaining, let's read this.

Wait... Is this a BANDWAGON|? OMG I'M SO JUMPING IN!

I'm so afraid BW will screw ME3 up, Silverman's an idiot, doesn't matter that he's just trying to do his job and he has no say in the developing quarter, or that from what we've seen the devs are trying to combine the best of both games into ME3 and they stated numerous times that all choices will be solved, I'm very much worried that ME3 will be screwed and I have loads of reasons to!
yup. a lot of ppl have the same complaint about major nelson but thats just the way it is for some media personalities. its hard to develop a clear voice, use decent grammar and be cool at the same timeKotorEffect3 wrote...

People need to give that guy a break, he is just trying to do his job.

What are they going to say to potential new customers?
"Yeah, you're a total newb and a day late and a dollar short to start with ME 3, but we've made it so it's still kind of viable"
Marketing must always commit many necessary evils. Saying that ME 3 will be a good experience for the newcomer is pretty mild. Might even qualify as only semi-evil.

Well, you guys can go ahead and kill yourselves right now I guess, if a fairly mild marketing spiel targeting the new folks gets you this upset. Me, I'll wait and see.
And if you guys were absolutly devastated with the continuity from ME 1 to ME 2 that goes double.

Marketing in general does try to sell their game, and saying that ME3 is a good time to come in is a great way to sell the game. But when Bioware's absolutely EXTREME PR get a hold of a concept like this, they beat it to the absolute ****ter.
I don't know how many questions i've heard that start with "So, Casey/David, is it safe to say the majority of previous companions are returning?" to be answered with "This game is the best entry point to the series".
Answering questions with unrelated hyperbole, time and time again, is bloody amateurish. The only video game company i have seen this done to such an extreme, is Bioware.
Plus, look at what CDPR said when they were asked if the first Witcher needed to be played before TW2. I don't know the exact quote, but it basically states that you will get a better understanding of whats going on, culminating to a fuller experience, but it's not absolutely necessary.
I don't know about you, but when i see a PR dude slinging around how awesome everything is because of it's pure awesomeness, i get a bit turned off their product.

For once, I can agree with you. I'd love to see different consequences based on my decisions, since it adds to replay value. But instead in ME2 we just had emails. I still enjoyed the game for what it was, but I felt that it could have been so much better. But ultimately it's about the story, and given the fact that the story will be more like ME1, I can get over it if I get a few emails.

Meh, as long as it HAS a main plot this time I'll be... well, content.
But I'm seriously disillusioned about the whole imported saves concept. That will no longer be a selling point for me.

I personally get turned off by a PR dude simply doing A BAD JOB. Honestly, Silverman's marketing is AWFUL. GOD-DAMN-AWFUL. I haven't got a clue why he hasn't been fired, he's pretty much a joke to everyone. Bioware might make great games (for the most part) but honestly, their marketing needs to catch up to the quality of the actual products.

It is going to be a great entry point for those who havnt played mass effect before.. most people arnt going to pick up mass effect one from thier local store, they are far more likely to see ME3 and try it. perhaps they will pick up the other games later.

Look how what turned out?KevShep wrote...
A lot of people (mainly PS3 gamers) have not played the first one and Bioware said that ME2 was a great place to start as well. Look how that turned out. ME3 is the worst place to start. The biggest part of the ME series was "Role-playing" and having characters that you come to know and love as the series went on. Not to mention a build up to one of the most anticipated villains in gaming history. New gamers are not going to have that awe about the villains or the game as a whole. The people who have not palyed and enjoyed the other two games are not going to have a deep experience as the game intends.........That is the aspect of ME........"deep experience".
ME3 is the absolute worst spot to start!
