Didn't Casey Hudson tweet about how awesome this book was supposed to be?


Yeah i did see it,  but ive just been looking for it and looks like its been removed. I could be wrong


Sorry here it is. Found it

"Finished my final review of the #[/s]MassEffect Deception novel. A really fun lead-in to #[/s]ME3! Kai Leng is a badass. January 31 release."

Still makes me cringe.

I'm back! Fighting against Deception still it seems. What's new?


Kotaku has noticed this fiasco.


I saw. I noticed the amount of Facebook likes. I feel we have quite a few lurkers within this thread.

"Batarian pirates slave-raid on the turian homeworld of Palaven" - This is one of my favorite errors in this book. A pure "LOL".... The writer didn't have a clue about the turian military capabilities.

WHAT THE HECK? KAI LENG WAS AN ALLIANCE SOLDIER. THE ALLIANCE HAS LAWLESS MURDER-PRISONS?


I'm liking this series of aghast posts. 

Yes, the Alliance has lawless murder-prisons where inmates fend for themselves. For some reason. Let's just throw the entire idea of military justice OUT THE FREAKING WINDOW. 

It's called Hell's Half Acre, not to be confused with Aria's hometown on Thessia, which is Hell's Waiting Room. 

I kid you not. 

Do asari even have a concept of hell? What is this even?

Joe you are a master at motivationals. I don't check the Motivationals thread nearly enough as I should.

I mean, it's not like the turian military ever decided to forcibly alter fertility rates for an entire species so they could win a war or anything.  Or bomb entire blocks of cities from orbit to take out one fire team. 

...ooooohhhh....

One thing I just noticed is this final review update was tweeted by Casey on the 11th of August. Thats 5 and a half months before release.

I don't even understand how anyone could be that mad at Dietz, after that email.

Oh stop lying you are totally kidding Elite! I know it's not your style but it's the only logical explanation.  I'll just go prove it by searching the text...

This book causes me physical pain.  I can't type in sentences with more than one clause.


Last night someone in this thread wanted to check if Kai Leng had met Aria in Retribution (since she acts as if she has no idea who he is, when she sees him). 

Reading Mass Effect prose in complex sentences was amazing.

Well they have been used to kill people in prisons so it not completely outlandish.  Though if Kai Leng was close enough to kill Gillian with a toothbrush he could've just used his hands/body regardless of being chained up.

Wait did I just vaguely defend this? *slaps self*

This has actually been really positive for most of us: I must have made about six or seven friends in the last twelve hours alone

Just wondering for the error that's up in the air about Citadel security, isn't it glaringly obvious that it's after ME2, considering Deception is after Retribution which is in itself after ME2? I can't edit the document myself though, too many are using it, but if one of you who can could change it and throw my name on the list you have my thanks.

A book so bad it united the BSN.

^That should be added to the rest of the stuff that we decided would be on the back cover

We turned a huge negative into a huge positive.

A bad book into a bonding experience.

Hopefully Bioware can join us in the positive negativity.


Yes to both of these.

AAAAAAAND I'm BACK!

Didn't get much sleep.

Came here to see that spoilers have been posted, as expected(and desired).

Very happy with how we're handling this.

Got a new report, we're all still steaming about it, and its only going to get worse.

Hehehehehe, THIS IS WORKING.

KEEP IT UP.

Making friends is all about sharing hatred and love for the same things.

I mean.... it is "Palaven"...their f***ing homeworld. Forget about Palaven, Batarians cannot do something like that even for Earth.

Yeah, I think the batarians would go extinct as a species if they attacked the turians like that.

It's about as smart as trying to breakdance through a mine field.

You've clearly never seen someone breakdance through a minefield successfully then.


No, I haven't either. ;)
