Mass Effect 2 Trailer: 'Why I Fight,' by Psychopathic Tattooed Ex-Cultist Subject Zero

by Chris Faylor, Jan 11, 2010 10:15am PST

Related Topics – Mass Effect 2, xbox 360, Trailer, PC

Everyone's favorite former gangbanger returns in this new Mass Effect 2 trailer, as Subject Zero joins the ranks of Miranda, Grunt and Thane in discussing why, exactly, she's fighting to save the galaxy alongside series protagonist Shepard. Of course, the ex-cultist isn't one to mince words. After all, she's the mostly topless lass known for "if this is about sex, maybe you should just [censored] say so."

And should you want to "just [censored] say so," you'll have your chance quite soon, as BioWare's sci-fi action-RPG hits PC and Xbox 360 on January 26, 2010.

Are the developers running wild with no brass to yank on the leash? Or are the brass pushing the tasteful and reluctant developers into this ludicrous marketing campaign with crap dialogue and voice acting?

I enjoyed ME1 -- except for the randomized planetary missions: can you say "console busy work"? -- and kept my savegame with the intent of carrying over to ME2; I still intend to buy ME2 and play it through, but every time one of these goofy "reality show" trailers comes out, or they showcase the gun-wielding Suicide Girl, I lose a little more interest in the game.

Mass Effect 1 and its marketing campaign gave off a Babylon 5 vibe: your $50 bought you a ticket to a really big show--galactic in size.

This isthe vibe I get from Mass Effect 2 thus far: "Oh."

In all fairness, Thane's trailer was just cool as fuck.

"Sometimes I feel remorse.....sometimes I feel regret.....but most of the time, I feel nothing."

I like her; brings some variety to the party. I hope there's lots of dialog between her and the other crew members like the picture perfect Lawson. She and Grunt will probably get along fine.

Right, I don't know what it is but I really really don't like the female character with the shaved head she really irritates me...

I have been looking forward to Mass Effect 2 hardcore, but that chick just makes my Johnson turtle into my cave, just doesn't do it for me...

I rather have a female character look like Bayonetta:

Quiet frankly not to be judgmental its seems like they have gone out of there way to make her appear that she plays for the other team if you know what I mean... anyone not like her also?

I really hope she is not a large part of the story...

I know I should be more disgusted with the "EXTREME HARD EDGE"-ness of her, but frankly I think she's kind of hot too. Man, I think I'm biased towards the ME2 ladies.
