So about that Mass Effect 3

[SovietSecrets]

Sorry if this has been posted already, but looks like the screenshots we have seen are indeed from ME 3.

"Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth."

We all knew it was coming, but thoughts?

My excitement level for tomorrow's announcement has skyrocketed about 1000%

 

[hazabaza1]

Holy shit.
HOLY SHIT.
HOLEEEEEEE SHEEEITE!
Yeah, I'm a bit excited, if you couldn't tell.

 

[TheAmazingHobo]

Aaaaand now I need to change my pants.

 

[Legendairy314]

Hoorayz! I love me some Mass Effect and it still remains one of my favorite RPGs to date. Can't wait to see all the new jerk moments from good ol' jackass Shepard.

 

[Nimcha]

Oh hell yes. There are the goosebumps.

 

[repeating integers]

Sounds cool. I'm ready to curbstomp me some Reapers to a backdrop of a burning world, preferably with awesome music playing in the background.

Can you tell I've been playing Reach recently?

Why do they always have a Grudge against Earthlings? i mean there's a big bunch of other races too. I'm starting to feel this is starting to look even more like a telenovela aka TV drama...

 

[spectrenihlus]

Oh come on. Why you damn aliens always have to pick on Earth. There are millions of planets out there go pick on them. It's not humanity that is special it is Commander Awesome err i mean Shepard.

Awww shit son, things just got real.

So, what's the Renegade path going to be? Since I'm guessing the alliance with the other civilizations won't be so easy if you're being a jackass, I'll wager a guess that the ultimate evil path you may take is to become a servant to the Reapers.

That better be the song they play for the credits for ME3!

Renegade =/= Evil.

I know that. Still, somehow I just don't see it happening that the game ends with the Reapers fucking up everyone's shit and that be it, unless the player is somehow involved with that ending in some way that doesn't include him dying.

I don't think BioWare would try pulling something like that off... A certain Turian tried the same thing in the first game, and that didn't go too well, did it?

I'd prefer it if the renegade ending is you finding a way to defeat the reapers that also results in you becoming supreme overlord of the galaxy and forcing everyone else to be humanity's slaves forever, and possibly carving out a planet (the turians' homeworld?) into a giant effigy of yourself.

This slip is the only reason I would ever consider watching the Spike game awards.

I think I'll see what the announcement is tomorrow, and then not look at any more Mass Effect 3 pre-release advertising or info. They spoiled a good bit in the previews for Mass Effect 2. Seeing a Scion or Praetorian for the first time while playing the game would have elicited a nice "What the f*** is that thing?" reaction. Not knowing who Archangel really is would have been great, too. Not knowing any squad members would be been great, actually. Keeping myself in the dark will be a hard task...

 

[Flamezdudes]

Oh your God. OH YOUR GOD. OH YOUR GOD!

Seriously! I can't wait for this now, I want Mass Effect 3 soooooo badly!

I'm so fricking excited!

Between this and the announcement of Uncharted 3 I think I may have a heart attack very soon.
