You see a trailer with families despairing, lovers dying in each others arms, people hiding for their lives, elderly being crushed by falling buildings and your reaction is "Who cares. Where are the aliens?"
Wow.
When you create a universe, when you develop all these different races, when you give them all a unique identity, your gona anticipate that maybe, just maybe, they might be worth fighting for just as much as us. That's not what I'm seeing here. All these trailers and all these interviews all seem to focus on one thing. Humans vs. Aliens.
Again, I don't mind the idea of saving Earth. I really don't. It's just that.... I've saved Earth so many times in so many other games. And Earth in Mass Effect was never really an important element in the previous two games. Humanity and it's role in the galaxy was important. Earth is just a place of origin. We have other worlds colonized by humans, we have well established and prosperous world run by humans, and we have many planets inahbited by both humans AND other races.
But it all boils down to is this. The massive marketing campaign is choosing to ignore the very elements that make Mass Effect unique. It's alien characters. Even with the criticisms I had with Mass Effect 2 in having humanity be the main focus threat wise (REAPERS = WHOLE GALAXY), it did let you know that aliens were there all the way, and they were awesome looking. Here, just the invaders invading a human only world and that's important because....
I DON'T CARE. Earth doesn't make Mass Effect unique or interesting.
