Ah yes, "choices." The immortal concept of selecting your path that is supposed be in Mass Effect 3.
We have dismissed that claim.

Gabe from Penny Arcade on the endings.

I can't take this seriously.  Every section starts with "I know nothing about this and now here's my uninformed opinion."  Ending with some really bad book analogy that goes precisely against the marketing of the game.  Gabe, really.  Every time he hits a wall with his argument, he sidesteps with "well, i don't know anything about that" or "I didn't check that part" or... bah.  Disappointing.  Gabe just lost a lot of points with me.


I understand his points and why he sees them valid. But he also admits he is not such a fan of the series. I believe there is a different point of view here. I get the impression (and I could be wrong) that he likes space opera endings (such as 2001) and I can fully respect that. But for me (and I assume others with me) care about the now. I honestly don't give a **** if "this generation is ****ed, but it breaks the cycle so it's a win!" (to paraphrase him)

No! I want an ending that respects *my* choices, I want an ending that doesn't do away with every single value *I* have as a player. And I want an ending where I actually "take back earth" (as the commercials state) I want to win!, Period! Is this really *that* hard to understand?

If Shepard dies, fine. As long as I get a proper ending that follows the choices and values *I* have invested in Shepard. But denying players a bright win where Shepard survives is terribly unkind, given the fact that ME is about choices.

I find it amusing that Shepard in the end just agrees to everything handed to him by a spooky "the shining" apparation. If given choices like that I want to have the choice to do nothing at all. And the god AI just gave away everything by saying that he "lives" there. Fine, then blow up the citadel, tell him who´s boss.

The issue with the ending (aside from being completely illogical, outright wrong and sheer nonsense) is that it ignores me.. *ME*... as a player, and that seriously pisses me off.

Yeah. I'd like to know how to run this.

Listening to Suicide Mission right now... every time I hear it I can see the cutscenes from ME2 play out... with my characters picking each other up, Shepard leaping onto the Normandy, and everyone surviving. That ending is one of the best I've ever seen in a game. And ME3's was definitely the worst. What a difference a few years makes.

Lublin Wing of the POLISH FLEET reports in!

God what a ride. 10 minutes passed since i sat to wirte something and i type an erase every line... You guys said it all already. The best sci-fi game ever created, best story, best characters, tears of joy and pain, days and weeks of playing...uhm wait, not playing - LIVING IT! And to what end?
Someone in BW decided they wanted to bring us a controversial ending (which makes no sense at all as we all know). Im asking why does it have to be controversial? What the hell for? Cant it be simple? Why not kill Shep, save some crew, show what they do after the war. Show my Shep's beloved Tali on her homeworld crying for the man she lost...anything! Was it so hard to make your fans happy? To show hundreds of thousands of fans what they were fighting for?

I have never been so mad over a virtual issue before. I would pay any money to see a different ending. I bought every DLC, even useless appearance packs because i knew BW will deliver the best! I feel so very much betrayed :( I really hope they fix it somehow....

Meanwhile...IM HOLDING THE LINE!



Brofist!

Bydgoszcz Wing standing by ! :D

The only sensible conclusion from this, is that you should chop your fingers off, and put on a red-green-orange wig.

Not sure if this has been posted. http://www.mercuryne...nes/ci_20173439
The writer seems to be a little ill-informed imo.


Its his opinion but I'm  getting sick if that "it's not the destination but the journey" bit, it's both imo. The journey takes you to that important point in the story where everything you have done leads to that point. You can't have one without the other. You travel that long road to see where it takes you and in the end you want to see the pay off of that journey. 
To qoute my good man Max Payne:

"They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger, and it was over".

The journey took him to that important point of the story. And it was the destination that paid off for him. 

Same goes here we all enjoyed the journey but once we get to the end it's the destination that mattes to conclude the story. 

Thats what I think anyway.
* gets back to the line*

 Poll on Gamestar about the ending from ME3: (in german)
You can find it on the right side, beneath a picture of Shepard. Loosely translated:
UMFRAGE (Poll)
Sehr gut, genau was ich mir erhofft hatte.  (Very good, exactly what I hoped for.)
Anders als erwartet, aber gut.  (Different, but good.)
War okay, hätte besser sein können.  (Was okay, could have been better.)
Bin eher enttäuscht.  (Rather disappointing.)
Dieses Ende hat die ganze Serie kaputt gemacht.  (The end destroyed the whole series.)
Seid ihr irre, ich bin noch lange nicht durch. (Are you nuts, I'm not finished by far.)

Thanks for the heads up and interessting result till now^^

I'm on my iPod and the website came up with the mobile version. Do you know if it can be reached on that or if there is a transfer to the regular site. I looked for it a bit but meiner deutsch ist nicht so gut. Three years and that's about all I got.


Just tried it on my iphone but didn't find a way, and i also didn't find a way with the actual gamestar app


Kommando zurück! just found a way, whenm you get to the mobile version srcoll down till the end there you find  "Gamestar.de - zur regulären Webseite" tip it and you get to the normal one including the poll

Agreed to 100%


(And almost exactly my reasoning too, a few hundred posts back :) Glad to see another writer support it. Damn this thread moves so quickly :blink:)


And I feel it's offensive for them to call me entitled because I dare to question. If they don't want to change it, fine, but I would like an explanation as to why all the promises -- and statements-- they made, regarding the game, have now been proven to be false. What is the justification behind this decision-making? If I don't have the right to a sensible ending, don't I have the right to some answers? Why is my favorite game franchise of all time about to become my most despised? Calling me names won't obviate my desire for an explanation.

You all know the mission and what is at stake
I have come to trust each of you with my life
But I have also heard murmurs of discontent and I share your concerns
We were trained for great endings
We would be legends
But the records are sealed
Glory in battle is not our way
When Bioware gave us a terrible ending, we held the line
When Gabe Knocked us, we held the line
When big gaming sites called us whiners, we held the line
Our influence will bring us great endings!
In our stand today
WE WILL HOLD THE LINE!!!

Read that someone said that the german front is a one-man line in this...well,yeah.
Got to say that I'm a bit disappointed in the mediocre outcry from my fellow gamers on the whole ME3 Endings...many are just like "It is what it is, can't be helped."

God how I "hate" that attitude! <_<

Love to see the reaction from them when this whole campaign really changes something. It will be like 45: 
*lights go on* "I was in the resistance!" :whistle:


Not true, holding the line as well!!

Just not replying every ten seonds. But reading a lot here.:)


I know that there are people like us who think that the endings suck...it's just...I wish for more people actually "doing" something about it.  Like posting here, voting in polls,donating and so on, you know?

But okay, doesn't matter - glad you're on board with us! Hold the line!


Donated, took part in the polls, but yeah, I know what you mean. I'll continue to hold the line.
