Terror, I have no problem with you(let me get that out of the way), but for real.

Move on. Take the high road and just let it go.

Its not that bad. Just imagine Miranda's posterior in place of the omni blades and I imagine you'll have no problem with the orange shivs of death.

move on????

13 pages in, does it feel like terrorK is the only one?

You get over it too, ST! 

Omni-blades are optional. Go use the badass pistol whipping if you hate the new melee that much.

savber I always wanted to ask. Why do you have part of the artwork for Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption in your Mass Effect avatar??

Shepards, here is the -latest- from the the Anti-Omni Blade Political Advocacy Group, Investigative Citizen Advertizing Watch Division:

BioWare has gone TOO FAR!

[1136342t54_]

Considering that Bioware mostly show the male soldier shepard in marketing and gameplay why wouldn't they show the soldier's new omni weapon? In a way they have been doing this through ME1 and ME2 no one should be surprised by this.

Personally, I would prefer if they ban the phrase "This is the beggining of galactic war".

Might I remind the majority of players that little footage has been released of the Iniltrator.

My class isn't so brash as the soldiers or the vanguards, give us a good omni-blade too. And not Thor's flaming hammer either, we're a stealthy sniper after all.

What's wrong with that?

Unless cachx is really really nitpicking over this since technically the Galactic War had started in ME1. Even then it was more spec ops operations against the Reapers. Any full scale military operations were mostly against Reaper servants and some Collectors. In ME3 the Reaper fleet arrived and the Galaxy is mobilizing for full scale war akin to the Rachni and Krogan wars.

Hahaha, I'm surprised that someone actually noticed. 

Originally I was doodling around with Photoshop when I decided to create my own little ME avatar. When I finished, I thought it looked generic so rather than having the image of TIM glowering the background, I threw in a "space vampire" instead.

Come on... space vampire in ME ftw. [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/cool.png[/smilie]

Anyways, the image blended well so I ended up keeping it as it is rather than sticking with the original plan of using TIM.

Oh, and that blade that they added, totally killer.

Yes, because the omni-blade defines the whole game, and having it advertised will completely ruin the end experience. Because it's such a pivotal feature.

Actually,  it is a problem,  because they wasted time and resources implementing Halo's laser sword for no compelling reason except to implement Halo's laser sword.  How often did you find yourself thinking in the first two games "Gee,  this would be so much better if I had Halo's laser sword"?

None?

Because the frequency with which you actually end up in melee range is about once every hour? 

Then rather than discuss the RPG elements,  or the potential innovation they could implement by actually carrying over decisions made in the first two games creating the first game series that actually devlops an experience around what you did,  they spend most of their time talking about...the Omni-blade.

As if this is what the gaming industry has been lacking,  a copy of Halo's laser sword.  Is it really too much to ask what ME3 brings to the table that makes it unique,  instead of hearing about what they copied from a more successful series?

Yeah, no, they talk about other stuff, too. In fact, there's an entire thread discussing what we've learned about the improved leveling system so far, around the bottom of the page. Given how much you and TK and people like you claim to champion RPG elements, I expected one of you to show up and discuss in there, keep things bumping, give opinions. But, uh...none so far. I wonder why that is.

He he, nah, it'd just that C. Hudson uses that line EVERY TIME, and it's starting to get funny. 
Kinda like "TOR has the content of KOTOR 2, 3 and 4" or "When you press a button, something awesome happens".

Any way you look at it, its unlikely the marketing for Mass Effect 3 will change. The omni-blade is a symbol that is helping to portray Mass Effect 3 in certain overall light....fans that think its corny are inevitably getting a first impression of the game that is negative. That, along with the fact we anticipate plenty more corridor pew pew.

When is BioWare going to show some of these "open environments" and examples of what they will be considering "exploration" for this game? Exploration is a big selling point for many people. Where is it? That, surely, is not a story spoiler. You know? Furthermore, if the omniblade can be used for stealth, let's see an extended stealth sequence in a mission where it can be implemented, along with sneaking around in a non-corridor. Catching one baddie unaware of you isn't a real deep stealth mechanic.

Examples would be nice to see instead of the constant, monotonous corridor pew pew.

No, it's not a problem. It's marketing, Halo didn't have it any better.

I have heard plenty talk about the new RPG elements, about your choices affecting the story, and about the characters from the previous two games, more so than the omni-blade. In fact, I haven't heard it mentioned in a while.
If you're so sick of hearing about the omni-blade, then don't look up anything about the combat, at least for a bit. I mean, it's not like they'll be talking about the characters and then suddenly "ZOMG OMNI-BLADE!".
Personally, I like the omni-blade idea, and think they have been doing just fine on the marketing for it.

I guess we shouldn't watch any trailers, either. The end of every trailer has Shepard looking very lame as he swings that thing.

Seriously guys! Do you have to plaster that stupid thing everywhere and shove it down our throats all the time. Especially when half the fans things it's friggin' stupid in the first place. The way you've been beating it I'm surprised it hasn't spurted forth some link of omni-goo from the tip.

Seriously... give it a rest. It wasn't that cool from the start, and it's just becoming more and more tragically uncool the more it gets waved around. It just smells of trying too hard to be "badass and awesumz!!1" to the point where it's just not. At all.

I'd have considered getting the new Femshep T-shirt if it didn't have her with that retarded thing on it. <_<

Wow.  While I agree, wow.  Lots of power.

[Crackseed]

Oh Gatt, you and your over the top posts sometimes xD

No reason to add the omni-blade? How about it's a cool addition to any already awesome game and...gasp...it gives people who love playing CQC character builds extra firepower in that department?

Oh snap the logic!

All we've seen so far is one demo. Have a little patience before you start assuming the absolute worst about everything.

I switched off to marketing of ME3 after E3.

Not my cup of tea. But meh - its only marketing.

[Abispa]

Why do they feature the Normandy so much in advertising? You never actually pilot the damn thing and it only fights in cinema cut scenes. It's useless, I tell you. If my Warden could travel all over Ferelden without a horse, Shepard should be able to travel the galaxy without a space ship.
