This is a comment about how my other half didn't like this trailer. I disagree, so I'm going to break up with it and start masterbating with my left hand instead. That'll show it.
I just scrolled down the front page and the Inversion trailer was more interesting than this.
The ad should just be Mordin singing Gilbert and Sullivan again.

I already took back Earth. I'm tired of taking back Earth. If Master Chief were here, these space Cthulus wouldn't be a problem.
I'm sorry, this ad is exactly the same as that first CG ad for Halo 3, little kids and all.

ARGH JUST BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE TRAILER FAILED TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT MAKES THE MASS EFFECT SPECIAL IN PARTICULAR WHAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT APPEALING TO THE WALKING DEAD AUDIENCE DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T LIKE MASS EFFECT ARGH
Also, my significant other says that Maurice Tan is a pooh-brain and that Mass Effect is for stinky-butts.

Always enjoy a cinematic trailer. Need to collect these on a dvd to watch late at night when I can't sleep. That will go well with my collection of fatalities and video game cutscenes.

Nice music from 'Two Steps From Hell', search them on Itunes, both tracks are available on their commercial release!
Only complaint...the kid. Pony-tailed blue-eyed blonde. No Aryan overtones here. C'mon, fuckers, it's not only inadvertently racist, it's fuckin' cheap and a screamin' cliche.
Havin' sed that, looks groovy, but I know this is gonna eat up a month, so I'll save it for the fall when I've got time to devote to it. Later!

I'm pumped for it. I only have two questions:
1. Are they adding any new sexy alien women? I've already bedded all the types of woman I possibly could, and I need more.
2. Doesn't it seem to everyone else kind of a pre-anticlimax in that the Reapers are developed as being unimaginably powerful and yet you know that if you play the game without being a total ass, you're gonna win?

@Harry Bastard: I had to comment on what you said. I've seen the 'Aryan' complaints countless times before and well, let's just say yours is the straw that broke the camel's back.
I'm a Latino. Hispanic, brown, whathaveyou. I for one enjoyed the shit outta that trailer and not ONCE did I think "OMFG WHITE POWER ASSHOLES!" My guess is that you yourself, are white. Why do I say this? Because I often find that no one gets more offended about this garbage than white people. I guess White Guilt is a bitch, eh? Get over it dude. No one gives a fuck. I play blonde, blue-eyed, white characters all the time. I don't flip my shit over it and neither should you. Let me reiterate; VIDEO. [u]GAMES.[/u] That last part should be a clue as to whether there are 'Aryan overtones' or whether you're reading too much into something that isn't there.
Also, caulks.

@wrathofme: Not sure if troll or serious, so I will assume serious: That's the European calendar style of date display. You know, 'cause FUCK THE QUEEN! It's still 3-9-12 for us Yanks.
@Rammstein: Yeah I meant March also. I'm not so good with yankee dates being scandinavian and all, but what I tried to say is that every other US trailer I've seen has said the release would be on 6th, not on 9th.
You know what? I'm kind of tired of the focus being on Earth all this time. It's been a bit over a year since the game was announced, and it's been all Earth Earth Earth. Fight for Earth! Save Earth! No, I'm fine, thanks. I hope the Reapers destroy Earth, but out of nowhere and in a comedic fashion like the Vogons in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Hopefully the whole saving Earth part is just part of an "explosive" introduction. Even though I'm bored of purposeless explosions too. In regards to the trailer, if they just cut out everything after the two minute mark, that would've been okay. ♫SHEPARD'S HERE TO SAVE THE DAY♫ is something we've already seen.
Sorry if this sounds cynical. I'm anticipating the game as much as anyone else and I'm sure it'll be good, but the marketing is just more of the blunt force trauma that I'm sick of already.

@ wrathofme:
Based on the rating system shown at the beginning of the trailer (BBFC and not ESRB), this trailer is intended for the Brits who will see this game released on the 9th, with the rest of Europe, I believe.

@John Johnson: OK I was just wondering since normally europe is on same schedule but the game releases on 8th here in Finland.
Holmes you don't speak for TWD audience. You took a jab at a series you're not completely sold on. WE'VE ALL DONE IT. And been called on it when it was a half baked attempt. Take it on the chin and walk it off, no thinks your the devil.
Almost spit Dr. Pepper all over my screen as I read the "because he hates good videogames" line. I love the Holmes but if I had to pick between ME stuff and Holmes... oh no, I'm now stuck in a conundrum I don't think I can answer >_<
LOVE MASS EFFECT SOOOOO MUCH AND THE DEMO MADE ME HNNNNNNNNNNNN

As a latino/hispanic whathaveyou as well I gotta agree with Rammstein here. You don't have to work hard to find blonde kids playing in a rural field either.
@Harry Bastard: "Only complaint...the kid. Pony-tailed blue-eyed blonde. No Aryan overtones here. C'mon, fuckers, it's not only inadvertently racist, it's fuckin' cheap and a screamin' cliche."
Agreed with Rammstein. This is definitely White Guilt at its finest. It's a shame that a white, blue-eyed and blonde girl can't be in a trailer without it being called inadvertently racist. In fact, I think it's inadvertently racist against white people for that to be called inadvertently racist. Oh shit, who would have thought that white people could be subject to racism?!
And for the record, I'm not white, either.
Perhaps cliche works sometimes? This trailer is incredibly cliche and generic and you chose to pick out the innocent little girl as an example of racism? FUCK WHITE PEOPLE YEAAA!
@John Johson: "Doesn't it seem to everyone else kind of a pre-anticlimax in that the Reapers are developed as being unimaginably powerful and yet you know that if you play the game without being a total ass, you're gonna win?"
Erm, have you played almost every game ever? Or seen any other movie ever? Especially those that don't give you the option to be a total ass? I'm pretty sure they all pit you against an unimaginably powerful enemy and you more often than not always win. You know, because fighting butterflies doesn't really make the most entertaining or dramatic of games when their biggest weakness is batting them away with your palm.

@KennyDee:
I know what you're saying, but it feels different than any other fictional work to me. Maybe it's because I'm so into the Mass Effect world.
My problem, slightly elucidated is this: I can't think of any other fictional work (be it game, movie, book, etc.) where the first two entries in the series build up the power of the villains to such dizzying heights, without at least suggesting a possible weakness or method of defeat of said villain.
In Lord of the Rings, for instance, you have Sauron, who is a mega-badass, but at least there's this understanding that there's this million-to-one shot that if the ring is destroyed, Sauron loses. Unless ME3 is uncommonly well written, I feel like whatever the equivalent of the destruction of the One Ring in the ME universe is, it will feel like the writers pulled it out of their ass.
In short, I guess I'm trying to say that I'm worried that whatever deus ex machina the writers come up with to defeat the Reapers will seem especially preposterous when considered in the context of the Mass Effect universe.

@ Scowlface- I DON'T CLAIM TO SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE TWD AUDIENCE NOR DID I EVER TAKE A STAB OR A JAB AT MASS EFFECT 3 ALL MY COMMENTS WERE IN REGARDS TO THIS PARTICULAR TRAILER AND MY PERSONAL OPINION ON HOW EFFECTIVE IT IS IN FULLFILLING ITS INRENDED PURPOSE AND THIS IS WAY TOO SERIOUS TO JUST WALK OFF WHICH IS WHY I AM YELLING AT YOU
LOOK AT ME BEING SERIOUS
LOOK AT ME BEING SERIOUS
On March 9th 2012 default ginger femshep will take back Earth from those darn Reapers! ...And indulge herself in some hot homolust fantasies.
@holmes- you'll have to forgive my indiscretion then.your previous post lead me to believe that you were claiming to know what kind of trailer would appeal to TWD crowd, and that the mass effect trailer failed to do so. As for the "Holmes doesn't like good games comment," my initial assumption as reader was that the OP was ribbing you on the Sunday article and was not actually being malicious, hence my advice to ignore it. But if you feel the need to justify/clarify, by all means. I
@ SCOWLFACE- WHY AREN'T YOU SHOUTING BACK AT ME C'MON MAN DON'T YOU GET IT WE ARE HAVING A SHOUTING MATCH RIGHT NOW
@John Johnson
Well, you know. The ending of Mass Effect 2 suggests that Cerberus could have backwards engineered a solution to the Reaper problem. Nobody even knows why the Reapers were creating that thing at the end of the second game or why they go about fucking shit up. There's a lot to be answered for, and the fact they only decide to pop up every 50,000 years would kind of suggest it makes sense there hasn't been a weakness exploited yet.
I mean, they've been built up to be all powerful and all that, but I'm guessing after 50,000 years the galaxy is a bit more proficient in taking them head on.
Since they said they want each Mass Effect to be a self-contained story, don't you think it would have been a bit futile for a weakness to this massive threat alluded to through the first two games to already pop up? How threatening would the Reapers waking up at the end of the last game be if anyone already knew a weakness? Why would anyone go into this game expecting a good fight?
I dunno, it's comparable to finding out within the first 5 minutes of Armageddon that Bruce Willis has to stick around and die on the asteroid to stop armageddon. I get what you're saying, but the Reapers haven't been a completely central focus until this game, so any weaknesses to be exploited SHOULD appear in this game.
The first two were about different things. This one is about fighting the Reapers proper. It should be treated as such.
