1st: If you read the script and thought that it wasn't linear, you might want to read it again. It was extremely linear, and past choices you made in ME1 resulted in the same outcome no matter which side of the choice you chose. 

2nd: You keep whining about how people are criticizing the game for being too dudebro and cod appealing, and all you do is come off as an elitist since the game needs more shooting and less of that confusing rpg stuff. You're preferences in a game are not more important than someone else's preferences, so stop trying to act as if your opinion of what mass effect should be is the right opinion.

1. So? I can call the majority of RPGs linear by the same logic too.

You have only yourself to blame if you really thought that every choice would be a dramatic game changer after all the variables that were created in ME2.

2. Yeah, that RPG system in ME1 was so confusing with all the items that had about three bars or so and they always were replaced at one point instead of brining something unique to the table that made them actually worth keeping. Status numbers are so confusing when there are only health, shields and damage. And not to mention those booster powers and useless skills that I never had to level up on Shepard, because I could always bring a squadmate as replacement. Not to mention the easily exploitable weapon modification and economy systems that made it so I never had to visit a store. I didn't even know what the user interface for the locker mini-games looked like until my third playthrough either. That was so confusing that I wanted them to take it down a notch, because then I can enjoy my Call of Duty game, even though Mass Effect and Call of Duty have nothing in common beyond the coincidence that both games includes guns.

Stop shoving stereotypes in my face and come up with something I haven't heard a thousand times on this forum. Then I might put some effort in my responses to you.

Was that grunt at the start of that trailer?

No, it's whoever is in place of Wrex in Mass Effect 2 if you killed him.

Who would kill wrex?

Now that you all know the video was indeed the Tuchanka Reaper vs. thresher maw fight I have a question.

Many of you seemed to know that we were making such a video or one was on the way. I didn't knwo you knew this. Can anyone tell me where they learned about it? Was it someone on Twitter or in an interview or something?

Apparently the press knew about it months ago if I'm not mistaken.

I think Priestly is asking how did we know that the VGA teaser/trailer was about the Reaper/Maw fight

I've expressed plenty of criticism, had all kinds of doubts, and a lot of anger about Origin... but condemning all of ME3 based on a heavily edited action/combat trailer designed to fire up the crowd at an award show... strikes me as going completely overboard.

Based on the letdown of DA2 and some of the things I've seen, I have am worried about ME3, and assuming that Origin doesn't prevent it, I still won't purchase the game until after release and after the basics are in the Wikia.  I'd rather have the game spoiled a bit than waste my money and time. 

But I'm not going to make definative statements about the actual nature of ME3 at this point -- anyone doing so is expressing an entirely unjustified level of certainty based on grossly insufficient evidence.

And no one can make a definative statement.  Could be on any point between wortst disaster and best game created.  

While I think (this isn't toward's you, towards "extremists") trying to embargo sales of Mass Effect 3 because of Origin, multiplayer inclusion, and improving combat is extreme, fans should always have concerns over the games that they purchase.  Sixty dollars isn't cheap, nor is the time put into games like this.  

You can include me amongst those who would ask everyone to just not buy any game that requires the installation of Origin or anything like it.  The only way invasive, insulting, data-mining crap like Origin will go away is if every game it's latched onto is a financial failure.

Just curious, but do you own a 360 or PS3?  May not have the continuation of your Shepard exactly, but better to support the developer than punish them for having to deal with EA's Origin.

My last console was a PS2, years and years ago.  I'm not interested in spending money on a single-use box that only plays games, that I have no actual control over, and that I cannot update or modify. 

And sales for a console are still sales for that game for the company.  The only way to affect their behavior is to impact the only thing they care about, their profits. 

[Chris Priestly]

Ah, that makes sense. It was more "accurate guess work" than anyone accidentally saying something they shouldn't. No one is in trouble, I was just surprised to see people know the contents.

[Jaron Oberyn]

@ someone with mass - Right.. I was wrong to take bioware at their word that we will be able to make decisions that will significantly impact the state of our games. I was wrong to read in an article that apparently since they're not worried about continuity, they can go "nuts" with the endings and have vastly different outcomes depending on the choices. Hmmmm... How could I have thought that making choice A in my first run through, and choice B in my second wouldn't yield the same results.

Please teach me so that I won't make this same mistake when a developer creates a series based on the selling point "choices that matter" and "many decisions are ahead, none of them easy".

Rather than entertain your weak counter arguments, I think we should get back on topic of the VGA trailer.

Yeah, it was briefly mentioned in the Game Informer article, the very first ME3 coverage from April. Apparently they were the first to see it in action.

[Darth Asriel]

How was this trailer amazing?

So I'm supposed to believe a Thresher Maw, which Shepherd and 2 teamates beat on foot, is tough enough to give a reaper trouble. I love Bioware, but this seems like it was done to appeal to teenagers and action junkies. Forget any logic established in your previous work, let's go for the cool visual. I'm not willing to say this is Bay Effect yet, but they have yet to show a trailer for ME3 that shows me all I loved about the first 2 Games.

I think it was one of the very first publications that described this scene. This was around the time we first saw the new Ashley. This news is old, Chris, you're behind!

Regardless of the fact that i knew about the scene, it was much better witnessing it than reading about it in my opinion. That's the reason why the leaked spoilers didn't really get to me.

Oh, so you think you know better whether the leaks can ruin the game for another person, than that person does?

The Thresher Maw on the trailer is much larger than a normal one, and the Reaper in the trailer is much smaller than the Sovereign.  I doubt that Shep and the team could be this type of Thresher on foot.

@Fredvdp - it's worked so far

Do you have a link to an article or interview where BioWare says "we will be able to make decisions that will significantly impact the state of our games"?

While I doubt a regular TM can but how about the mother of TMs vs a smaller ground Reaper? 

Think of a worm that stretches for at least miles and also have the home turf. I don't know about you but I think that TM will at least give the Reaper a hard time. :innocent:

So try actually reading about the lore before passing judgement that Bioware has ditched the lore for the rule of cool (in this scene anyways)

Read that, and the read the leaked script. They contradict each other. Now im willing to give Bioware the benefit of the doubt, even after the whole DA2 mess, and ME2's watered down story/rpg elements. However after epic games lied about their leaked script being changed in Gears 3, I'm not going to hold my breath entirely.

Regardless, The leaked script indicated that no matter which decision you made, it will result in the same outcome. That doesn't look good considering what they've been telling us about more diversity and stronger consequences.

Now back on topic. Let's not turn this into another discussion please. Start a new thread or pm me if you wish to discuss this further.

Technically, they are right. The consequences for your actions in ME3 are bigger than they were in ME2.
