9-3-12 WTH Am i missing? lol
Yeah, I agree with everyone that the extended trailer is a lot better. The flow is improved a lot compared to the shorter on.
European date. They go day-month-year instead of month-day-year and their release date is March 9th.

I dig it. The part with the little girl and the Reaper reveal is pretty eerie. But I still don't like the direction. Why so many Reapers? As big as they are I would think you would only need one or two per city. They have like 10+ per city.

I wonder why they didn't include some aliens. Still nice trailer though.

The extended one was edited a lot better (as it should be, being the intended length).
I cannot help but feel that the 90 second spot was originally supposed to be a 120 second slot or something closer to the original length, and then was cut down to 90 seconds late in the process to where some real edit butchery had to take place.

Those last 30 seconds were awful.

The extended one hasn't changed my mind. It's longer, you see humans fighting husks more. I just don't care about seeing faceless humans, and then Shepard and Ashley.
What I liked about the Mass Effect 2 CG trailer was it gave you an idea of who you'd be recruiting for the suicide mission, especially with TIM's commentary, and the ominous ending with the collector ship taking the colony. This is...just generic ass war except with space zombies and space cthulhus. That sounds great on paper but I don't know, I wanted more characters to show up! Humans are boring!

To be fair, that didn't work for Halo 2 back in the day.
I never cared for Halo games so i have no idea what you're talking about. They did a similar trailer where they only show Earth and most of the game was outside of it?

Pretty much. It was hyped as kinda "the fight is coming to our home planet!!" Two hours later, you ditch earth for points beyond. A lot of fans and/or enthusiasts felt a tad betrayed by the marketing.
I know it's a weird criticism but I kind of missed Shepards "signature" move. You know that one where he slowly runs towards something while shading his eyes.
It has this great sci-fi motive of boldly steeping into the unknown.
Now it was all guns blazing and Dragon Age like sword combat...

Yep, there were only 3 Earth levels and the other 7 were in space. People were pissed about the "false advertising". That, and the lack of resolution. I would hope Mass Effect brings resolution.
Right. And ME3 is doing the same thing with "Take Earth back"
Needs some meme page.
Take Earth back
*insert Shepard pic*
Leaves Earth after 20 mins
To be fair, Bioware did the same thing with "Fight for the Lost" in ME2. Sure the colonies were taken and stuff... but did anyone really care that much? The meat of the game, the recruitment and the loyalty missions, just ignored all that.

Speaking of Tali, has she been in any trailers for ME3? Or any quarians for that matter? I think I might have missed her.
PedoReaper?
I saw her in some screenshot that was released like a month ago i think.
He's gonna put it in his personal quarters with the other model ships.
Didn't know he had a signature move.I know it's a weird criticism but I kind of missed Shepards "signature" move. You know that one where he slowly runs towards something while shading his eyes.

It actually isn't, but I bet I can dig up one or two more trailers where he does the same.
edit: ok... I can't find it, but I'm sure it was somewhere in the previous games ^^
Thought the same thing. I feel like ME3 got marketed horribly, mostly relying that people are gonna buy the game either way (probably an accurate assessment, though). It's a classic sci-fi game. Who cares about Earth?
Still liked it a lot, wish the last bit was a little longer, but its definitely better than the TV Spot version. I will say though that I dont like the music choice at the end, the chanting just doesnt mesh well or sound very good at all really. I would have much preferred something purely instrumental. The vocals are just jarring and dont feel very appropriate.
Just many of you really hate the kinect support and think the "Better with Kinect" is bs? I played the demo and it's the best use of voice with kinect i've ever seen. It's better than button presses, at least those I have to go into the menu for.
Perhaps it's just the "Kinect sucks" default response.

I just don't understand why you'd need a Kinect. We have headsets for heaven's sake.
