I think I'd rather watch 2 hours of Liara combing through
than that.
Shadow Broker data
Liara, Garrus, Tali, Wrex, Grunt, EDI, Kaiden, Ashley, Mordin, Jacob, Miranda, Thane, Legion, and on and on... Yeah, any other squadmate would've been a better choice. Hell, Hackett and Anderson could have a cool movie.
I'm guessing this was chosen solely on his voice actor.

Two hours of Joker and EDI going on a date would be more fun.

Sounds like a compromise choice. A ME movie would probably not be able to star Shepard, because Shepard's story is different for every player. But a ME movie set in the ME universe but starring none of the known characters might not draw fans as much. So they picked a known character to star in it.
Why they picked Vega instead of one of the better-liked characters, I'll never know.

I'm not surprised. Jacob was the most boring character in ME2 and they gave him that god awful iOS spinoff game (Mass Effect: Galaxy).
This sounds fucking shit-tastic. Well played BiowarEA... well played (assholes).
I don't really think choosing Vega was entirely Bioware's fault. The issues comes down to the fact they can't use Shepard, Kaiden, or Ashley (for obvious reasons), and they can't use any of the aliens. That leaves any of the remaining human characters, but likely they wanted to go with one that didn't have a possible future death scene, thus they chose Vega (the voice actor sure helped too).
I would love a movie about Garrus and his time on Omega before Shepard's resurrection, but sadly the "expanded audience" they likely want is going to prevent that from being possible.

Yep, it was called Mass Effect Galaxy, it was released sometime before ME2 and it SUCKED (it's a laggy and dull Smash TV clone). I admit I bought it partly because they claimed you can unlock a "special item" or whatever in ME2 if you completed Galaxy. Instead, what it "unlocks" is a 3 minute scene that only plays if you have Jacob AND Miranda with you on Omega after Horizon, in other words, by the point where you have probably ditched one of the two. Thanks a lot, EA.

Soliloquy
All right, I am suddenly fully convinced that that would be the greatest movie ever and I want it to happen right now.
They should've made a Blasto movie.

Why the hell does James Vega look like Sokka if his whale testicles were pumped full of steroids?
Any news on what it actually adds? Are we just going to have nearly 2 gigs of some guy talking about The Shepard?

My money's on Shepard turning to the camera... and giving a double birdie.
"F*** you basement-dwelling losers! We've got artistic integrity! And your money! HAA HAA!"

For 1.9gigs that better be in Super HD 3D.
I'm not even going to bother with this new ending stuff until other people load it and review it. Seriously... that's how little faith I have left in the keepers of the franchise.
Me too. I have clean install of Windows on my PC, and I don't want to load that Origin shit unless it's going to be AMAZING. Otherwise, /youtube.
Origin just completely stopped working for me, so I couldn't replay it even if I wanted to.
I find it kind of sad to see so many die-hard fans (myself included) so jaded now...
It's a testament to how good Mass Effect was that such a shitty handling of the ending by execs could cause such a feeling of betrayal.
It's no secret I played a staggering amount of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer.
After unlocking an estimated 70% of the content (according to my super nerdy spreadsheet) I finally got completely sick of getting multiples of stupid classes that I already have fully unlocked. The real kick in the pants? The main weapons I use are all still level 1 (M-99 Saber, M-77 Paladin, M-9 Tempest). Since I started keeping track I have gotten over 20 duplicates of classes that are fully maxed out. That's bullshit.
Just another awesome game design choice by BiowarEA.

I'm surprised they're announcing it just days before release.
Gonna get my game prepped so I can just pop right in and finish it that night.
