Then you're the kind of customer EA wants. No sense bogging players down with plot and character development when there are things to kill!
(Sorry I couldn't help it, I'm disappoineted at the opening- it's another bit of railroading and cut corners)
Ok, I know I'm a tool of the Man and all, but how so?
If you are a new player (haven't played ME1 or ME2) you learn who Shepard is, why he's on earth, what the Reaper threat is, and then the story begins.
If you are a continuing player (have played either or both of the previous games) you already know the plot and character development because you helped form it with your previous play throughs and the story picks up after ME2.
I'm sorry you're disappointed, but I'm not completely sure why?

The trial, itself, does not happen. I've played the demo, sir, and there is no trial. You asre not asked "how do we stop (insert threat here)," and that's it, in a trial. Your actions are brought forth, and your guilt or innocence is gauged. THAT TRIAL, in the literal sense, does not occur. Despite what previous reports claimed.
I personally have no worries, either way. I know what occured, and I can fill in the blanks. I admit disappointment, but I'm not really that upset. That said, I can understand others.
