Christ, what a stupid move. There's no way the Reapers attack Earth first. They need to rally every ally in the galaxy and beyond to defeat Sheppard, not piss himher off.

Everyone knew it was going to be a gather your allies game. I hope we can gather Batarians and use them as ammo. Their 4 eyes should prove useful to munition guidance as they're launched toward the enemy at relativistic speeds.

Because at the beginning of Mass Effect 3, Shepard will fall into a black hole and be annihilated. Two years later, he is brought back as a cyborg by the Alliance.

"Alliance? I think I've heard of you guys." Shepard will say, as he is given the choice of working with them or working with them but grimacing.

Fuckin' awesome.

Only problems I had with Mass Effect 2 were the limited number of weapons/armor, the scaling down of the leveling system and limiting where you could go in the Citadel.

Basically, stuff that was already there for Mass Effect 1 was taken out for the second one. Hopefully they bring it back and then some for Mass Effect 3.

I'm excited as fuck, but don't rush it BioWare. Don't ... fucking ... rush it. Take your time fellas, this is your most important IP and the final chapter to arguably the greatest gaming trilogy ever.

derFeef · Dec 10, 2010

Rally a team, then rally an even larger team and now rally whole humankind to put the fight to them!

Net_Wrecker · Dec 10, 2010

I get the whole "rally the races" thing, but why would they join to defend Earth? I sure hope there are more logical reasons for forces to get behind Shepard other than "he helped us do _______ in Mass Effect 1/2"

alerus · Dec 10, 2010

I'm ready to pwn them all, Charge Vanguard style.

FStop7 · Dec 10, 2010

My guesses:

Kicked out of SPECTREs for having "joined" Cerberus.

Anderson re-activates Shepard as an Alliance Marine (despite Udina's protests.. can you say political shitstorm, commander?!)

Shepard must rally the races (derp) but one or more races will have already succumbed or possibly even joined the Reapers, based on your past decisions

Earth is not the first place the Reapers attack, it's one of the last holdouts

I'm pretty sure the reapers aren't going to just stop there

it'll probably turn out the reapers warp in somewhere close to earth and it'll be considered the holding line or some shit

Dat description.

Ushojax · Dec 10, 2010

Just include a proper story this time, BioWare. I didn't enjoy spending 20 hours with my dick in my hand just so I could fight a giant Terminator at the end. God, ME2's main story was a mess. The 'build a suicide team' element was such a good idea but handled so terribly.

Oh you know it won't be a battle on earth at all, it will be a battle in orbit of Earth as the final boss battle, you will never actually land on the planet or see it.

In many dialogue choices in 2 Shepard still considers himself part of the Alliance.

Maybe because machines will hardly stop with humans. It seems clear from ME2 that they consider humans to be the best and greatest threat. It would be natural for them to want to make their surprise attack on humans first so they can get them out of the way. But after that, they'll hardly stopthat's not their M.O.

ZeroRay · Dec 10, 2010

The twist is that Earth falls and all the races are scrambling to defend themselves. ..Or at least this is what I hope.

It'll probably be Shepard trying to convince people that the Reapers are coming and they don't believe him but then they do after you do a quest or something.

I just hope it isn't a "humans save the galaxy" jerkfest, and other races actually get their recognition.

I'm pretty sure he was already kicked out of the Spectres for being kinda dead for 2 years.

You can get reinstated and the Council will pretend to be concerned about Cerberus before writing you off as a lunatic and giving you back your badge anyway.

Baron · Dec 10, 2010

haha, The page is gone now. They realized they done fucked up.

FStop7 · Dec 10, 2010

Also, the Reapers have shown they are primarily interested now in using humans as their vehicles for conquest and breeding. So going after them first does kind of make sense, I guess.

GavinGT · Dec 10, 2010

Great. So another game where we travel the galaxy, assembling our crew for 30 hours, then the game promptly wraps up, having forgotten to provide a story arc?

Domino Theory · Dec 10, 2010

It's Yvonne Strahovski, part of the main cast in the TV show, Chuck: http://www.nbc.com/chuck/

She also voices Miranda in ME2 in addition to Miranda being modeled after her.

Finally worked out a way to get a plug in!

The Librarian · Dec 10, 2010

Welp, I think EA took the product down for pre-order. I get an "invalid" message whenever I click the pre-order button.

Nice goof, but we knew it was coming. Can't wait, day one, etc, etc.

And then he find his old frineds who don't give a fuck about him coming back from the ggrave a second time.

Sup shepard, you revived again or what?

Diablohead · Dec 10, 2010

I hope there is plenty of space flying and new planets to land on and walk around, love doing that stuff in mass effect 1 and sort of in 2.
