A pre-order listing was put up on the EA Store for Mass Effect 3, with the following blurb attached:

Quote:
 
Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth.

The page has since been removed. It's worth noting that Bioware is making an announcement at the Spike TV VGAs tomorrow, too.

I'm willing to bet the intro of the game leads to another timeskip of sorts. Maybe this time, the Normandy II is crippled but not obliterated and you escape - leading to a timeskip of repairs and asskicking.

Because they didn't quite have Earth yet in my playthrough. :lol:

Actually, what I kinda suspect is that the dramatic opening mission will be the attack on Earth. Your party will probably get separated or something during the attack and it leads to Shepard finally being acknowledged and the start of the counterattack against the Reapers.

Then you travel to 4 or so planets to recruit the aid of the species that live there before going on to the final battle.

And yet even with humanities acknowledgment of every thing you've done and are going to do, They'll still make your ass mine for your own resources.

Reapers made peace with the rest of the galaxy to kick just our asses?

Turian Councilor: Ah yes, "Earth". We have dismissed that claim.

If they've got a pre-order listing up I wonder how far along they are with the game.

I never stopped being stoked. Mass Effect is love, and I'm hurt that it didn't win game of the year.

I think he's talking about the Spike VGA, which no one in their right mind should take seriously. What an embarrassment.

LOL. The Channel that goes by the motto

"WE'LL GIVE THE AWARD TO WHOEVER ACTUALLY SHOWS UP TO OUR SHITTY SHOW"

I still remember the 1st ever one they did (and the only one I ever really watched) It was basically 99% made in USA only games. In both the winners and the nominees.

And what won, a shooter or something?

Yaaaaaaaaaay, Tali's CAN HAVE again! Of course, Ash might be more than a little pissed off at Canon!Shepard for running off with the Quarian, but she was acting like an incredible bitch and basically cut the relationship off.
Also, really hoping that Wrex can come back. Because that would be awesome.







...and that final spoiler is incredibly fantastically epically awesome beyond all means of those words.

Where's my old Speak N'Say so I can press the Y key over and over again?
http://ca.kotaku.com/5812762/female-shepar...n-mass-effect-3

Y?
Y?
Y?
Y?

The reason male Shepard's always on the cover is because HE'S CANON. What's the point of putting the female shepard when she has no official design? Default male shepard as it is is as generic as they come.

Is this old? Looks like we might be getting some form of Shoe-horned in Multiplayer.
