Mass Effect 3 Trailers

NOTE: THERE ARE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT COMBINE THE FOUR TRAILERS BELOW. I WANTED TO SEPARATE THEM TO GIVE MY THOUGHTS ON EACH OF THEM. HERE'S A LINK IF YOU JUST WANT THAT.

Well, Mass Effect 3 marketing and my coverage of that marketing continues. We had FOUR trailers released yesterday and I believe one is supposed to come today (which means I will probably be making another post later).

Anyway, the first trailer go over the enemies with possibly the first look at Kai Leng, a Cerberus assassin who is sent to kill Shepard after s/he is betrayed by Cerberus. Having read the novel Mass Effect: Retribution, I can say right now that Kai Leng is a huge badass, right up there with Shepard. I can't wait for the fight against him in ME3.

Next we've got a trailer showing off some more gameplay footage. Probably more than any other trailer, this one shows just how smooth the gameplay looks in Mass Effect 3, especially compared to the first two. The vanguard still looks absolutely awesome and I'm so excited for my Shepard to use her charge ability again.

Also those Banshees (asari husks) are creepy as hell.

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW!

Caution if you haven't played the first two!

Now a small story trailer showing off the dialogue wheel and separation of consequences. Not really a big thing but I always love seeing more footage and whoring myself out...despite not making any money for this :(

Now some good stuff. One of the few but still main criticisms against Mass Effect 2 was the lack of customization for armor and weapons. BioWare has heard your opinions and taken them to heart for this. While the crappy inventory system from Mass Effect 1 is not back, they've come up with a middle ground that can be seen here.

Please let there be silencers (yes I know they're technically not silent and called suppressors). Even if they serve no purpose, they increase the badassery of nearly any weapon.

I believe that the trailer for Female Shepard is coming later today. If true, then I'll be back later to post it. See you then.
