Michael Bay esque

One of the reasons why the reapers were made stupid in ME3 so that Shepard and the galaxy can defeat them. Had the thing fired its beam of doom horizontally instead of vertically, Shepard would be vaporized
What's funny about that is if you stop moving and look up, you can see the thing holding its leg in the air waiting for you to move Shepard so it can drop its leg on Shepard
Same can be said about Anderson

He's an executive producer though. Can't comment on the show itself since I've never watched it. 

I can't say that I'd trust anything to be good because of the name of the producer. Example: Steven Spielberg produced Transformers.

I bet people thought Thane was gonna be awesome........trailers aren't all they're cracked up to be nowadays. If anything, quite the opposite. The more awesome the trailer, the suckier the game. Trailers are too tryhard now, that's the norm.

With the exception of Allers, all those things are throughout the entire trilogy….but what the hell is BattleTits?

Everyone I mentioned is "annoying, disposable fodder for frenetic nonsense". As for what BattleTits is.......you've never watched Gamer Poop?

Flashing random scenes is what you give potential customers when you have nothing more substantive to offer.

Glad you liked it!  I found it by chance but I really fell in love with the editing. The music choice is mysterious but has some energy in it too. 
The music is such a big deal for me with trailers... The song they chose in E3 was so spot on (a pity they didn't make a cinematic trailer with it). The Cinematic trailer was OK, the Orientation video I LOVED IT (once again, that music... I bet it's Andromeda's theme).

To be fair, a lot of people had similar complaints with regards to the VGA trailer for Mass Effect 3 back in 2011



Lots of action and Michael Bay moments had the forums all riled up, similar to what you are saying OP. They thought the Tuchunka mission was going to be a flop. Afterwards, some fans tweeted to the devs asking why the trailer was so action heavy. They answered that they had a limited time frame, so they wanted to pick an intense scene. They then added that this was only one part of the mission, and that other portions of the mission had all your usual Mass Effect cinematic/RPG goodness.

Looking back at the Tuchunka mission now, I think we can all agree that Bioware was right. I think a lot of fans would agree that Tuchunka was one of the better mission arcs in the entire trilogy. Lots of decision making regarding genophage, Mordin, dialogue, mission order, etc. It had everything.

So, I think it's best to wait it out before jumping to conclusions. Obviously, no one wants a Michael Bay video game for MEA, but considering how little gameplay they have showed, I am not worried yet in the slightest.

I mean, who's side are you fucking on? MICHAEL BAY'S SIDE? Don't forget to calibrate your criticisms

The trailer seemed to be geared towards the dumb masses, who need to be shown explosions and whatnot in order to be convinced a game is awesome and worth the money. I see no cause for alarm yet, at least not until we see the gameplay video on Thursday.

Trailers are so seldom truly representative of the work they're advertising that I'm surprised that this is still a thing. Pixar films generally had very poor trailers, yet the films themselves ended up being very excellent. Does anyone recall any of the Dragon Age: Origins trailers? I mean, just look at that shit. 



If you didn't know anything about DA:O, what impression would you get from the trailers alone? 

BioWare games don't really have the best trailers, and up until recently, generally just showed a lot of stuff that doesn't really happen in the game at all, at least not nearly the way the game actually presents it, like the Take Back Earth cinematic trailer of Mass Effect 3. At least for Andromeda it seems to be taking actual in-game stuff. In any case, it's compressing scenes that are likely many hours apart into just a couple of minutes. Of course it's gonna be a total lasershow.
