Spike VGA awards Mass Effect 3 reveal

[Yarpie]

I'm psyched out of my mind! This time I'm going to avoid any trailer that reveals any story. I want the final installment of my favorite series of all time well and thoroughly unspoiled.

 

[Caspertjuhh]

praise the lord for the mass effect series!

I cant wait till holiday 2011!

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Wow.
I'm excited for this game and I haven't even played any of the Mass Effect games. Looks like I have plenty to catch up on next year!

Good for you I guess...

Although the only reason you're in this thread is to piss off those who actually wanted to see this trailer and you could do us all a lot of favours by shutting up and staying out of something you dislike.

Why would the Reapers invade Earth instead of just nuking it from orbit like any other smart being would do?

Because intercepting nukes or losing Earth the second the game starts isn't entertaining.

But it completely goes against what the Reapers are, creating quite a big contradiction of who they are. Just rubs me the wrong way is all.

They've been described as systematically wiping out all traces of the current universe races. They also see themselves as totally superior to those races, so they would not feel worry when they attack head on, in true invasion style rather than just being 'destroy all'. There's also possibly a hint of personal motive from the reapers thanks to the human's destruction of Sovereign and their role in ending the Human Reaper's development, so it would make sense for them to attack in the way it was portrayed.

 

[Yassen]

Wait, next year? It's only one more year till the release of Mass Effect Tres?

Retrospectively it doesn't seem long, but I'm still going to be counting the days hours.

I just can't wait for this moment.

"Shepard! It's the Turian Councilor, we're under attack by enormous... umm, ships and need your help!"
"Say it."
"What? Shepard there's no time."
"Say it."
*Sigh* "Reapers."
"What? But Councilor, we have dismissed that claim."

Can't wait to rub it in the snide fucker's face.

"Shepard, we're being attacked by Reapers!!!"
"Ah yes, the REAPERS."

With massive fingerquotes.

Thought you might enjoy this.

I agree with this man. Or woman. Or Reaper.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

TEARS OF JOY. Fantastic trailer, especially the reveal of Big Ben. Reapers look like those things from War of the Worlds.

I hope the sniper guy is our squad member, he looks badass.

Now the anticipation begins...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

It looks pretty cool, though I found it weird looking at the reapers walking.
Can't imagine fighting one of those things in-game...

I'm sure there'll be some glowing spots on them somewhere.

I'm calling it. 2011 is going to be the best year for games in history.

TES5 Skyrim
ME3
Dragon Age 2
Arkham City
Bulletstorm
Dead Space 2
Gears of War 3
Assassin's Creed 3
Portal 2

Yeah, I think you're right.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I adored that so much I squealed so loud that my parents had to check if I was ok.

And I do hope he becomes a team mate/love interest (for fem. shepard) in the end game. I think it would be pretty cool.

I also like how the series is taking a darker turn. About time.

 

[DSK-]

I'm disappointed by it. But I think it was cool seeing the reapers all land.

However....

This is a spoiler

Spoiler

How the hell did the Reapers get from Dark Space to Earth so quickly? I mean, they needed the Citadel to crush the species up to the Protheans and use them as tools/back up plan to analyse the current state of the galaxy's sapient development.

I would have thought it would have taken a long long time for the Reapers to get to Earth.

Hopefully ME2 DLC will fill in the gaps between ME2 and ME3's continuity.

Here's your answer:

Spoiler

They probably captured any ship in existence, looked over a galaxy map, then used mass relays. Doesn't seem that hard to me, especially since the collectors were working for them, they would have seen the coordinates of earth and the shortest route to get there to begin with.

I'm afraid you might of missed my point.

See this (again, spoiler)

Spoiler

Skip to 0:14. Now, my question was how did they get from there to Earth in such a 'short' period of time. Or perhaps how the hell did they travel from there to Earth. That is what I was asking/deliberating over.

 

[Nimcha]

Don't you think you will find that out while actually playing the game?

 

[Irridium]

Thought you might enjoy this.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if the council does this shit in the third game I will flip right the fuck out.

 

[jpoon]

Looked alright Id say, nothing very amazing or mindblowing though. I don't like pre-rendered previews, the actual game is going to look nothing like it.

 

[Wayneguard]

I think it looked pretty awesome...

We have no time frame for the reapers speed and arrival, or how much time passes between game two and three, they'll give us something. Assuming they took off after sovriegns death, they've been going straight for two years now, and weren't too far away any more, they also probably have advanced engines/mass effect cores that allow them to move a whol lot faster. My earlier statement was for when they were in the galaxy.

I'm just hoping Bioware will use higher-res textures for once. So what if the consoles can't handle them, they can always lower the texture resolution for the console versions. I'm tired of seeing pixellation on people clothes when they're in close-up.
