Omg, "rally the civilizations." My excitement for this game is going downhill, fast. First DAO, then ME2, and now it seems ME3 is also gonna be 30 hours of recruiting people.
Bioware's generic plot build for a videogame:
1. The world/galaxy as we know it is going to end.
2. Introduce hero who everyone just somehow knows is amazing.
3. Hero will travel around and pick up groupies.
4. Somehow find time to help groupies with personal problems with coming apocalypse.
5. Fuck a groupie.
6. Stop apocalypse.
7. Set up another catastrophe for impending sequel.
And it works EVERY TIME. I love and have played through every Bioware game at least 3 times. Anyways on subject: EXCITE!

I KNOW. I have no idea why it keeps on working on me, either. Darn them for being enjoyable.

@ DaShiz 21 The Generic Bioware RPS plays more like Ocean's 11 for game. For me atlest, it is still not old.
It probably keeps working because we're not used to games that are written with any sort of quality, so when one comes along it's pretty exciting. Speaking of which, I AM EXCITE!
I really hope Bioware doesn't cop-out by only showing us an Earth that's already in ruins.
We've been waiting the whole series to check out Earth, and if we're stuck now with only a Gears-esque wasteland to battle through in the end game, I'm going to be pissed.

Wow. What a surprise. I'm shocked. There's going to be a third game in a sci-fi Trilogy. REALLY. SHOCKING.
But seriously, what aliens will be bangable? I love doing the Captain Kirk thing in these games.

So the answer to piracy is to ask MORE money for games, and not to MAKE BETTER games? Who would have thought.

I'll buy it. It can't be perfect though until they fix Miranda's ingame face. Seriously, she looks like she got whacked in the face with a pan.
Also, could there please be a way to take your helmet on and off without going to the Normandy? I'd love to wear it in battle, but then I have to wear it all the time and I look like a nut!
And also, EXCITE!

This generation needs to end now before whatever good ideas were made during it can survive into the next.
Yes please!!! Also am I the only person who kinda doesn't want this (I'll explain) I'm the kind of person who hates when story driven game series have to end. (I.e. MGS4, Jak 3, and others)
I'm betting there will be a new civilization recruitment feature for three similar to DA:O. I can just see having to choose between the Geth and Quarians.
Heh, Bioware's plots may not be original in the slightest, but they're still damn fun regardless. Hope this one lives up the high standard of the previous two installments.
As awesome as Mass Effect as a series has been, I often wonder why nobody ever calls out Bioware for writing some of the most unoriginal stories ever yet will gladly shit on JRPGs for doing the exact same thing.
I just wish it wasn't so generic. Saving earth? Really? My Shepard spent the last two games recruiting some of the most brave and dangerous individuals from across the galaxy to stop an alien race hell bent on destroying ALL sentient life. Now I'm supposed to be worried about earth, that boring blue planet I already live on? Come on Bioware, Mass Effect 1 and 2 were fun because I got to help people who WEREN'T boring humans.
I really hope this doesn't affect the recruitable party members. My least favorite party members have always been the boring humans and a game about saving earth sounds like it'd involve a lot of humanity (which is boring if I haven't already mentioned).

Or in Kotor's case, go to a few planets to look for the bad guy, then a new area opens up, you go there, get out, then go to the final stage

The storyline isn't really a surprise if you've finished Mass Effect 2, but I honestly just have faith in Bioware that they're still going to make it into an epic ride all the way.
I'm with Kefkaesque. Waited two whole games to see what my favorite character (Tali) looked like, and they pulled a fast one at the very last moment after building up my curiosity with that whole "taking off her mask" exchange in 2.
You will need to do better BioEA.

Earth is selected because the series theme is about humanity's place in the galaxy. It works....the first game had humans coming to the other species rescue...ME3 could be the other way around.

Because consoles are the precedent now and they've dictated that new games should be $60, so the PC follows suite.

omggg cant wait, rachni, geth, krogan, turians, assari, quarians, so many allies to go and get! im not surprised that the reapers are attacking earth considering shepard is human and has stopped their plans twice already, reapers must be thinking wipe out humans first then rest of galaxy will crumble
Guess I have to play level up my main character to max level for import and buy the DLC. I just really hope they take their time. I love this game too much for the last one to disappoint.
