Mass Effect 2's Subject Zero looks awfully unfriendly

by Griffin McElroy { Sep 27th 2009 at 3:00PM }

Man, if you thought Mass Effect's Urdnot Wrex was an uncongenial companion, get a load of the most recently revealed cast member of Mass Effect 2: The skin-headed, sailor-mouthed Biotic known as Subject Zero. Though she may lack social graces, she more than makes for it with combat adroitness and, for lack of a better word, assertiveness. She's what Destiny's child might call an "independent woman."

Then again, she's also what Rick James might call a very kinky girl -- the kind you don't take home to family gatherings where your mother is in attendance. Check out the very NSFW, Subject Zero-centric Mass Effect 2 trailer after the jump.

Reminds me of Natalie Portman is V for Vendetta, but gothier.

Calvin @ Sep 27th 2009 3:09PM

Like Natalie Portman in that SNL skit "Natalie's Rap"

iluvmyzune @ Sep 27th 2009 3:12PM

nah like an albino angelina jolie

Bubbameister33 @ Sep 27th 2009 3:33PM

She reminded of Tank Girl but looked like Natalie Portman.

Jrinswand @ Sep 27th 2009 3:42PM

I hate to be "that guy who makes an unrelated post in the first comment thread so that people will be forced to look at his post," but does anybody know why there isn't a PC section on Joystiq? I mean, they seem to make PC-related posts enough to warrant one.

copa @ Sep 27th 2009 4:01PM

I hate to be "that guy who downvotes you for making an unrelated reply to the first comment in the thread", but...

Naw, I'm just fucking with you. I don't hate it at all.

MystileArmor @ Sep 27th 2009 4:14PM

Copa, somewhere there is a Kanye joke hidden in there.

Jrinswand @ Sep 27th 2009 4:15PM

God damn it. I should have seen that one coming. Oh well, at least I tried. :P

CheeziePotato (PSN: talic10 | XBL: InfiniteMovie) @ Sep 27th 2009 5:37PM

Joystiq doesn't have a PC section, because I have a Mac.

Damian @ Sep 27th 2009 5:57PM

At the start it shows some roster, 3 are shown, 7 are not.
10 possible party members? That would bring a lot of replayability.

Jrinswand @ Sep 27th 2009 6:08PM

Alright, so in the first thread, there are a whopping total of eight posts so far (including all of mine) that have been off-topic. It is inevitable and seems to happen in every post. After a certain number of replies (in this case, three), the thread spins wildly off-topic.

Batzarro @ Sep 27th 2009 6:15PM

Freakin' Assaj Ventress, man!

Silicon Siren @ Sep 27th 2009 7:25PM

They don't cover PC because all the bloggers here (especially Chris "I love apple" Grant) run Mac and they don't want to be reminded of what they are missing out on.

I keed I keed.

Hyperion45 @ Sep 27th 2009 11:33PM

@Jrinswad -- I doubt most people even read the comment before they downvote. They just look at the hearts, and if you're missing a half, they just downvote you for no reason. Same thing with upvoting, if you have an extra half then they upvote just for the heck of it. I think it's the mentality of "I'm cool if I follow the crowd."

Now watch this very same comment get downvoted faster than you can say "Joystiqers have no free will"

Sub-Zero?

Anemos @ Sep 27th 2009 3:07PM

The thought of Shepard being able to have sex with her made me throw up a little.

ibetnoonehasthisname @ Sep 27th 2009 3:08PM

dude, awesome profile picture! but i don't know what you're talking about, because that gave me a total hard on!

Jrinswand @ Sep 27th 2009 3:14PM

What gave you a boner? His profile picture?

Cj @ Sep 27th 2009 3:15PM

Your penis likes weird things.

Whocares @ Sep 27th 2009 3:36PM

I beat she'd be an animal in the sack...I'd tap it

BananaBoat @ Sep 27th 2009 3:54PM

She'd probably bite your little shepherd off.

Blank-Mage @ Sep 27th 2009 11:17PM

You're hot for Renton Thurston?

You're getting excited over Mario? Strange man...

You guys are seeing different things.

BigD145 @ Sep 27th 2009 3:07PM

FUGLY

Bronco-fan @ Sep 27th 2009 3:08PM

Since this video has come out I've seen the complaint about how "edgy" most of the new characters are, keep in mind that Shepard's on a suicide mission and he's recruiting the meanest and toughest people he can find. So naturally most of his new teammates are like her.

Jrinswand @ Sep 27th 2009 3:19PM

Or maybe BioWare is just becoming goth. I mean, look at Dragon Age. It is a dark fantasy world which seems to be playing Marilyn Manson on a constant loop.

freaparn @ Sep 27th 2009 7:39PM

"So naturally most of his new teammates are like her."

Ham-fistedly written and ridiculously exaggerated? I dunno what's with Bioware lately, it's like they hired a marketing team from the mid-90s. Everything they release is trying awfully hard to be EDGY and EXTREME, possibly even TO THE MAX.

I half expect the next Dragon Age character profile video to feature Poochie the Dog.

Nipah @ Sep 28th 2009 2:22AM

Yeah, I'm really not liking the idea of her character...

I just want my Shepard to take her aside and tell her "Yeah, we get it... you're bad ass and daddy didn't love you enough... now shoot the freaking krogan and stop talking!"

Delusion @ Sep 27th 2009 3:10PM

Don't like the looks, not sexy at all. Should make her look like Megan Fox :-D

Damian @ Sep 27th 2009 3:12PM

Then I would not be purchasing Mass Effect 2.

AvA (ice~) @ Sep 27th 2009 3:44PM

you're name fits well.

pete @ Sep 27th 2009 4:04PM

hating on megan fox is most incomprehensible meme of the past decade....

The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 27th 2009 4:15PM

i dont think you know what a meme is

Sly (Now equipped with DS!) @ Sep 27th 2009 4:56PM

or how long megan fox has been famous...

Sly (Now equipped with DS!) @ Sep 27th 2009 5:27PM

ahh wait, nevermind. read that wrong.

CheeziePotato (PSN: talic10 | XBL: InfiniteMovie) @ Sep 27th 2009 5:33PM

Only horny teens like Megan Fox. She's not even a good actor.

MystileArmor @ Sep 27th 2009 5:44PM

I know what a meme is...

Deadpool @ Sep 27th 2009 5:53PM

Megan Fox hosted Saturday Night Live 35th season premire last night. It was horrible...just...just horrible. If Bea Authur was alive, she would show her how it's done!

Hopefully, Ryan Reynolds will save the show next week after that trainwreck. For some reason I feel...connected to that guy. ;)

Markez @ Sep 27th 2009 6:44PM

It typically always is, Deadpool, but I thought a handful of the sketches were decent. I've found over this premiere and through the last season that the show is most definitely worth recording on my DVR. To expect most of the bits to be good is silly at this point, sure, but there seem to be plenty of gems over the last year. That live links ripoff (or whatever the hell it's called) was great.

maveric101 @ Sep 27th 2009 8:43PM

hating on megan fox has become hip and trendy like hating Halo is/was. bottom line is, she's hot. not the hottest girl in the world, not even the hottest celebrity, but i don't see how you can deny that she's attractive. personally, i thought she was stunning in the the transformers movies (i just didn't pay attention to her plot of the acting).

Eh @ Sep 27th 2009 11:09PM

Im sick of hearing about Megan Fox. How the hell did she get so overrated? Even Jessica Alba didnt get people so obsessed and Jessica Alba destroys Megan Fox.

@deadpool
Noone laughs when Megan Fox is on camera lol.

Deadpool @ Sep 28th 2009 3:41AM

Not to mention the new girl Jenny Slates f-bomb slip up. I guess you can only say fricken so many times before the real f-bomb slips out. *shrugs*

It's her first night so I would imagine this would have embarrased the hell out of her. Hopefully they won't fire her for a understadable slip up.

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Sep 27th 2009 3:12PM

@Anemos and BigD145
AGREED. She must fill in the old tough gal w/ heart of gold part and probably abandons the suicidal attitude at the end while facing loss and death. Needs more Wrex.

devilsei @ Sep 27th 2009 3:19PM

Gotta disagree, she seems like the type of chick who would get off giving Shepard a "trouser-kissing", dual-wielding rocket launchers, aaand stabbing people with knives she stuck into her own feet, all at once...

The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 27th 2009 3:40PM

that was stupid
