  • since when did noveria get blown to hell? haha

  • Best game i have played since its release cant wait for ME3

  • @left4deadfan55 i think mass effect is a great game series it deserves to be greatest game of all time

  • "Tough Decision"

    Yeah, land on a geth occupied planet to see what they're after and find leads on Saren/conduit,

    or LAND on the planet being ORBITALLY BOMBARDED/GLOBALLY NUKED

  • So what happened? Did the Rachni kill them or something?

  • i love this trailer. its wat brought me into the mass effect trilogy. but i dont like how they make noveria seem like its a planet you ignore. its actually where some of the most important scenes take place.

  • i didnt play mass effect but can someone tell me why shephard don't want to save the planet?

  • @cjandgunner35 the game focuses on choices, in this case choosing to either save the planet or what looks like attacking the geth (the vehicle is actually used to find minerals)

  • @arbiter2212 well i got mass effect 2..thx btw

  • @cjandgunner35 its a video, also play mass effect

  • Garrus does not seem to approve of Shepards decision.

  • @NightwakeVirus ..And Ashley stops him from speaking his mind

  • @naierer thats why he thinks he has to do those calabrations

  • Guys this isn't an advertisement or cutscene in the game. It's a cinematic that plays when you stay on the main menu without doing anything long enough. Other games usually have a montage of gameplay, but I like what they did with this.

  • @kevtyan Incorrect kind sir.

    It does play in the main menu, yes but it was ALSO a tv commercial

  • really, i just wanted to assume direct control over the Mako. Is that really too much to ask for?

  • Does anyone know the song in this?

  • you know... if you actually listen to the woman's plea for help and the sounds in the background... you really get a feel for how fucked up Shepard's choice was. Just wanted to point that out for anyone paying more attention to Shepard and company than the actual distress call.

  • I would choose in order to save Noveria because there are more people to save

  • @Ezio948 Yes but the point is Shepard choose to try and take out the Geth while he has the chance as their forces are occupied on Noveria. So he can travel to Caleston and take out Geth so they can't kill even more people in the future. Hence, tough choice.

  • Is this even a part of ME1? Or is it just an advertisement which has content (Noveria being attacked) that is not in the game?

  • @TheOwned3 Noveria, in the game, is basically a planet filled with corporations. Businesses and what not. Also science stuff. And its a snowy planet.

    I'm sure the developers had plans that were SIMILAR as to saving a planet or recon team, but decided not to put it in the final project.

    So no. This is just advertisement. Not to say there aren't any tough choices in the game, trust me, there are.

  • @TheBadShaman I know, I've played through both Mass Effect 1 and 2

    :)

  • wait i never tried this but can you avoid going to vmir, thus avoiding the choice of abondoning ashley and kaiden?...

  • Who the heck is the voice actor for Shepard in this clip? Doesn't sound anything like the Shepard in game. Sounds a lot better here.

  • @MegaRekyyli That's not Shepard's voice.

  • @ajw34307 Who's voice is it supposed to be?

  • @MegaRekyyli It's just the advertiser's voice telling you that you're going to have to make decisions in the game.

  • @ajw34307 Hmh... Why did I always assume this was the early VA for Shepard. Damn, this voice actor would have been so much better for Shepard!

  • Comment removed

  • @Vanisdagreatest dude, this is mass effect 1

  • @dogshrapnel very true i turned it off b4 it got far enuogh for me to tall and there is stuff in it that show its 1 like the mako and ashley being part of your team. my bad

  • Funny how you actually go to Noveria later on.....and if you can find Caliston, I doubt you can actually visit the surface.

  • @puddin77 you can survey the planet from orbit in mass effect 2 for element zero, but there is no mission

  • This one believes Garrus is made of epicness :]

  • I cry every time i c this :'(

  • This one thinks Shepard should had helped.

  • This one is upset with your decision.

    Enkindle this. *Bang*

  • no its not me2

  • This one is more displeased for you not having played/finished Mass Effect 2 yet! And then whine about not wanting spoilers.. pfft.

  • This one just got his Xbox and finished ME1.

    That one is stupid and the Enkindlers will rise in power just to kill you.

    This one will buy ME2 in a week.

    This one will...

    Probe UrAnus.

  • okay.. thanks for disturbing me..

  • What a dick.

  • @inaciom116 No, after the nuke has been offloaded, and you head off to rescue Kaidan, then a cut-scene will appear where a Geth Drop ship heads to the landing site. THEN you have to decide.

  • Request denied.

    Sheperd: i'm pretty sure they can handle it.

  • I sort of wish there was a game mode in both ME games that put you on a timeline. That would ACTUALLY make difficult decisions, like you see here, far more common and diversify each play-through.

    Unfortunately though, you can apparently piss around the galaxy like a WoW junky farming resources and collecting badges while the (insert universe-dominating force here) are just two story missions from executing their plans to (insert said universe-dominating force's goal here).

  • @thant0s I agree man, I found it amusing that after the citadel got locked-down that I could wander around and do the remaining side quests while I should have been heading to Ilos

    lol

  • There is only one serious bit of timelining in the ME2 game, and that is after the collecters attack the Normandy, you get the choice of either continuing doing side missions to increase you abilities and upgrade the Normandy, thereby increasing your survival odds for the Suicide Mission (which can become a bloodfest if you dont prepare, I had 7 out of my 11 squad members die when I made a "suicide" attempt) or rushing for the relay, your choice affects whether your captured crew live or die.

  • @thant0s

    I can't imagine why they'd even bother making that commercial without there being time sensitive situations in the game. I refuse to believe it'd be that hard, all those "X3-4" free flight Privateer kinda games already have a real time economy, how much of a technical leap would it really be to have active, dynamic factions making decisions based on your actions?

  • I agree that it would make more sense, but personally I appreciated that I still had time to explore the game and do more side quests even when it was supposed to seem like I was running out of time. If the game were to feel realistic, they'd have to do away with all the loyalty quests as well...as much as I appreciate secondary content, they don't make sense. I felt the same way about the side quests in Oblivion too... I guess you just have to use your imagination to get the "urgency" feeling.

  • ive been trying to find the name to the song used in this trailer for 3 years @_@

  • the normandy's ai sounds like jennifer tilly

  • omg i remember this commercial! xD

  • *Spoiler Warning*

    Well thats basically what happens at the end when you choose to sacrifice the council. The Alliance ships just close the channel on them.

  • thats so mean....but waht could the normandy do against all those nukes..meh

  • SON OF A BITCH *FROM TRANSSMISION*

  • Great game

  • Whoa, Shepard sounds much more badass in this commerical. I wish they would've used this voice for the character.

  • i alwayays cut the counicl off in their hologram calls lol they got increasingly pissy

  • @Bighairyfart

    Asari Counciler - "Commander Shepard DO NOT cut me off like last time i fail to find it amusing"

    Shepard- "woops" -cut of transmission

  • thats awsome i love ashely

  • I heard that the end mission is a suicide mission for everyone in your team, including Shepard.

  • No, everyone lives depending if you choose not to save the council. (i never save the council, they didn't do shit for me except promote me to spectre, they always bitched and moaned that reapers weren't real and Saren was a good spectre) they got what was coming to their arrogance.

  • OORAH!

  • It's only a suicide mission if you make the wrong choices and don't prepare. You need help and you have to go out there and recruit it and equip it and make sure it's loyal to you.

    You won't know for absolute sure going in whether you live or die. I think that makes it far more exciting. Though you'll probably have a good idea whether you should be confident or scared, it's not nailed down either way.

  • 2 years old...

    Hopefuly ME2 will live up to the last words in this trailer

  • Lol I wish.. I hated all the coporate crap on Noveria ¬.¬

  • Setting new course for WHERE? It's been buggin me out, I can't figure it out.

  • First I thought they were referring to one of the moons of Jupiter, Callisto, but in fact the voice says "Caleston". Mass Effect was pretty long in the making so they were some changes made in the process. Caleston was meant to be the place you rescue Liara and it changed to Therum some time. That was bugging me for a long, too. ;)

  • Uhhh

    that looks like ME2

  • Ugh, let your ME1 disc idle.

  • no....its not....noveria doesnt have anything to do with the ME2 plot (probably) and ME2 was announced in '08 this dates back to '07

  • Mass Effect 1, at the main screen if u let it sit (before u hit start if ur on xbox) that will play o.o

  • Ashley looks different in this trailer

  • yeah cus the game was still in development :P

  • i wish that was the voice in the game. for the renegade path, it makes him sound like a badass haha

  • Epic video... Sometimes you need to sacrifaice something big for a bigger good...

  • like the council lol

  • That made me laugh. Ive sacrifised council even dont knowing what will happen(I didnt thinked that council would die). It was like above question saving the council or destroyng the reaper and saving the galaxy.

  • nice trailer

  • Comment removed

  • its a damned trailer it never happens in th wgame

  • What is this? I've never seen this before...

  • A trailer that came out prior to the game's release

  • He denied saving Noveria to survey some minerals? Nice one, Sheperd.

  • Hey that's what for like hours

  • english please

  • @goldragon988

    lol....

  • @goldragon988 Thats exectly what you do when not taking on the main mission IMIDIATELY, gameplay and story might not change(only in me2 if you delay after the crew is taken) but we all do this...

  • @goldragon988 lol what the hell is he going to do? he has what a small frigate against an entire planetary assault fleet?

  • @ConsurgoTitanus He's Sheperd.

  • @goldragon988 Ignore the others, the Mako is used to do surface ops, they landed to attack the geth, not mine for minerals.

  • @goldragon988 is that a dlc or something for the game?

  • @Lloydy0151

    Game Trailer.

  • This is what happens when you stay idle for more than a minute in the main menu.

  • is there anyway to keep both human partners or no.

  • No.

    You'll always have to either pick Ashley or Kaidan

  • how do u get this please tell me???

  • Its an advertisement... you can't "get" it.

  • It was a trailer

  • i figured it out

  • wow it really shows how awesome mass effect is

  • I hope il get in a mood to play mass effect againe be fore the second one coms out casue i lost all of my saves : /

  • I think if you let the council die you will most likely upset balance on mass effect 2 and hell break loose

  • Wrex usually lives right? I dident find it hard to keep him alive but I am seeing other people saying he died. The only person I finished the game withought is Kaiden.

  • Nope. You need to have charm or intimidate or have gotten his armor before to make sure he lives. The first time he died when I played .But when I replayed the game I made sure to have enough charm points to keep him alive.

    Thou I had to let Ashley die in that mission =(

  • Yeah, its the part when you have to destroy the genophage cure, you can kill Wrex, but its quite easy not to.

  • lol same story only I let williams Die

  • lol, nice

  • i dont kno how anyone could let wrex die. hes my guy!!! but fuck ashley, crazy bitch was anoying as hell.

  • I saved ash. I killed Wrex. I really regret killing wrex but you have to have full charm and say the excact right things to save him. When it came to kaiden and ash, i thought ash would just be better to say because of her combat skills and the sex scenes :).

  • NOPE, you dont have to have FULL charm or even 1 charm to save wrex. I suggest you replay the game. After every mission, speak to wrex. Soon he'll talk to you about his family armor and how to retrieve it. Once you complete that mission, wrex is saved. In Virmire when you're speaking to wrex, he'll mention about how you have helped him, and therefore he won't resist and fall along your side.

  • I never use walktroughs so I didn't know all this, made the end of the game without wrex family armor. I had full charm points without thinking about this situation. Charm is really worth investing in, thing become cheaper and it gives you a lot of extra options

  • I let kaiden die

  • what about the end choice of choosing to give power to humans or the council. i chose the council first then i played it again and chose humans and let Cpt Anderson be the leader i hate Udina. i hope this choice will affect how the 2nd game is played

  • nope its a trailer

  • i should have let ashley died on virmire!

  • Caleston ain't even in the damn game.

    Also the people on Noveria sound like complete faggots. "Normandy are you there! We're a bunch of whiny bastards!"

  • Now that is the BEST commercial i ever,ever saw in my entire life!

    Too bad it will take so long before mass effect 2 come in stores...damn!!!

  • Mass Effect 2 comes out December...

  • thats what they say now....wait a few months more and theyll change it to 2010.

    anyways its still pretty long till december.

  • Yeah but 2010 isn't that far away... 2009's passing pretty fast.

  • yeah, must be Obama or something... this year doesn't even feel like it's happening, and bam, we're halfway to june...

  • "Many decision lie ahead. Non of them easy" man aint that the truth

  • yeh on mass effect i had to leave kiaden to be killed by the geth whilst i went a help out ashley who turned on the nuke stupid b****

  • hm, what happened?

    i chose to back kaiden up, because he was with the nuke. he knows tech stuff (would be more useful overall, as part of the crew), and i liked speaking to him. ashley is a good soldier (high attack), but i never used her anyway. i didn't like her attitude, and she seemed to like me... no matter how many times i played it over, i'd choose kaiden. especially after you say she turned the nuke on...? really...

  • What are you talking about? Kaiden turned the nuke on too.

  • i thought he might have meant she turned it on while they were still on the planet or something.

  • They both did. Kaiden and Ashley will always make the same choice of turning on the nuke while you're still fighting to ensure the success of the mission. They will both always wind up in the same situation.

    The only difference is which one you pick to go with the Salarians and thus which one ends up guarding the nuke.

  • i figured either way the nuke would explode. but the way deathman said it, it sounded like ashley did it in a bad way or something... like too soon, or something

  • They both do the exact same thing. They come under attack and turn the nuke on.

    Though personally, I did like Ashley. She was alot of more interesting and flawed than what I found to be the rather bland Kaiden.

  • i just found Kaiden more useful in terms of crew. though in terms of personality/interest, kaiden was the most "bland". didn't agree with wrex's views on things but damnit if he wasn't an interesting character. i hope they do even more with this second game. hopefully make it longer too.

  • That'll be for 2010. For now, I eagerly await Dragon Age.

  • damn... that long huh...

    so is dragons age like a mass effect with medieval aspects? (thinking bladurs gate here)

  • It's supposed to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, yes. It would be easier for you to just check out their website.

  • the geth dont kill them the nuke does either way if u save one of them

  • everybody sais its a really tough decision when you have to choose if you are going to save kaiden or ashley i was like ´´i'm coming for you kaidan´´ i fucking hated ashley after she shot wrex imean wrex fucking wrex he was my favourite character in the game but i always wondered if you can keep wrex from dying if you know how then send me a message

  • Rex didnt die when i went through the first time. So its possible....don't remember my choices though

  • You can save Wrex if your intimidate or charm is high enough, or if you do Wrex's sidequest.

    You get his sidequest by talking to him in the cargo bay between missions, asking him about his past until he tells you about his family armor.

  • yeah you can speak to him

  • It's really a shame that there are no real decisions like this until near the end of the game. It's a great game, don't get me wrong, it's just not as the commercial would imply.

  • Well a lot of Shepard's small choices may affect the galaxy in big ways in later games

  • mass effect 2 ?

  • nope sadly not... I wish there would be such great desicions in mass effect but there is only one... but maybe Bioware gets it better in the 2nd part (wich was unofficialy anounced)

  • The 2nd Mass Effect was announced by Bioware already

  • realy? why does all the news about games reach germany so slowly??? ah well at least it's certain now... but I wonder if the books about mass effect, which are supposed to be released, are good?

  • when does this happen

  • It's a trailer for the game...

  • I didnt wanna save either, I wanted to haul ass of virmire and go chill in flux

  • Is the stuff in that trailer even in the game ?

  • No, you have to go to Noveria and no colony is destroyed and 1 saved by choices.

  • A lot of it is in the game. Noveria, Shepard, Ashley, Garrus, Normandy, Mako...

  • Does this happen in Mass Effect?

  • nopes, i'm currently playing my Adept on hard, after beating Infiltrator on easy and Soldier on normal.

  • Epic trailer. It's what got me into the game in the first place

  • That pretty much sums up what I was gonna say.

  • I preferrr to play gta4 online rather than offline :D By the way I just finished my 3rd playthrough on mass effect :D

  • I'm on my 3rd right now, just later half of Noveria & Virimir to do. Its my adept, specilization is the more offensive one.

  • what ever u do get ure charm and other thing below to the highest u can cauze an the end u can tell saren to kill himself and can also stop wrex from being killed!

  • thats what i did :)

    AND you get an achievment!

  • same. 3rd run through, final will be techy and getting my Sniper and Soldier to 60 b4 ME2.

  • there is an easier way with wrex. talk to him and eventually he tells you about his family and that he made a vow to reclaim their ancestral armor. its on Tuntau in the Phoenix System of Argos Rho. after that he trusts you enough to talk down without convincing. its still a good idea to max out one of them but it isnt always necessary.

  • Oh god, I have to stop reading comments, I keep getting big parts spoiled for me.

  • sorry!

  • lol

  • lol that is really funny

  • GTA4 is for random fun, this is for complex shit

  • Yes, but it's Mass Effects storyline people enjoy. Although I did like GTA4s storyline too.

  • best game ive ever played. better than anything. gta 4 is also good. but i luv this trailer. awesum..

  • I wish more decisions like this could have been in the actual game, maybe next time.

  • which should i get? Grand Theft Auto 4 or this game?

  • gta 4 is a must have, but mass effect will change your life, really

  • i felt so.. moved at the end of the game. however driving on sidewalks is fun too:D

  • Brooommm.....Brooooooooommmm *thud *thud*

  • since when is noveria a dessert? when i went there it was a blizzard

  • Noveria is a cold planet. The landing you see in the commercial is a different planet that Noveria. Since it's an ad, it doesn't mean the mission exists in the game.
