In terms of the endings, does anyone else feel like Bioware specifically pandered to the new arrivals to the series? I mean, think about it. A person just getting into the Mass Effect series would not have a significant attachment to any of the characters, and as such an ending like the rumored ones might feel right. They've not heard time and again that the Reapers can be stopped and will be stopped. All they've got at the beginning is a destroyed Earth. A seemingly hopeless situation from the very start.

Quite simply, yes. That or Bioware really fell apart towards the end.

Command and Conquer 4?

And now the next tiberium C&C is... browser based. I wonder why.

Oh, and it was supposed to be an epic ending with answers and all too, right?

I think at some point, we all figured out - even if we didn't want to admit it to ourselves - that given the sheer magnitude of the threat presented by the reapers, there weren't going to be any happy endings. I was pissed at first, but after giving it some thought, Bioware couldn't have done it without making the game seem cliche, cheesy, trite, etc. Shepard's good, but even he can't put Humpty-Dumpty back together again. The lesson here being, there can be no victory without sacrifice. Bottom line, play the game, have fun, and give the ending, whatever happens, a little bit of thought.

Tough job to be a moderator about now - having said that it does appear BW is in full damage control as of now. No doubt this thread has gotten BW's attention big time! Otherwise why full damage control mode?

Attention or not, it's too late to change anything.

I don't. Not after they spent so much time developing the characters even just within ME3. New fans will feel their heartstrings being tugged to the extreme just the same, just not as... vividly.

Haven't seen personal attacks against staff, mods and other forumites in this thread. I'm sure it has nothing to do with this thread. As I am sure we can say that the game is a piece of **** or the endings are ****, preferrably after we played it, in my opinion.

But we shouldn't say that "someone" is a piece of ****, no matter what, be them staff, mods or forumites. We can stuill say it but we should be prepared to accept the consequences. In here it may be a ban. On the streets it may be your front teeth.

I'm still keeping my CE. Despite the horrible endings, I want to see how the story, romance, and ending progresses for myself. If I don't like it and it's not resolved somehow, then Bioware won't get another dime from me.

I predicted that this topic will reach 100 page by the end of the day...Looks like it'll reach 150 instead.  And the fact the new CoC has been put up is enough for me to start worrying.

There's only six days left till ME3 arrives and already its starting to look very bad for Bioware.  I don't want to be here next week, that's for sure.

Same, even if these rumors turn out to be false this isn't going to just go away. People are still going to be talking about how they handled this incident for a long while.;

...EDI is destroyed becuase she's based on Reaper technology, the Geth are all killed even though they aren't based on Reaper technology...

EDIT: Okay, EDI only survives if you pick the Merge/Synergy ending.

I don't know what to think of this.
The ultimate paragon-ending I mean.

The Geth are destroyed?
Why implementing a peace-option for geth and quarians, if it leads to the geth dying?
Fanservice to bomb everything down?

EDI is destroyed because she is based on Reaper-Tech? So...Shepard, whose renegade-face is remarkable similar to that of someone modified by reaper-tech survives it?
We ought to believe, Cerberus did not use tech, based on reaper-stuff to bring Shepard back?

The more I hear, the more unlikely the spoilers appear to me.
-Genophage-free Krogans. (Almost anybody here played the demo)
-Turians, Salarians, Krogans fighting together. (Mordin mentions something like that in the demo)
-Geth and Quarians are able to unite in peace.
-Quarians may even get their homeworld back.
-The Turian councilor no longer dismissing the claim. (Exclusive G4 Palaven-Moon-gameplay)
(Everything you could hope for as a paragon-shep)

Then 'Boom!' tear it all down at the end? Putting all these efforts into creating story-content to satisfy a player, then crushing it?
Crushing it to the extend, that the whole me-universe as it is known is torn apart?
The universe, that is one of the most successful franchises in EA's wallet?

Even story-wise, to have a blank page to start with, I don't know which marketing-suit would give his/her ok to that?
Half of the costumers(or even more) so disappointed with the end of the trilogy, that a further interest in the franchise is unlikely?

I'm holding on to this same thin string of hope.

I think what is irritating the ****** off me the most is that after 4 years of building relationships with god knows how many characters, BioWare has the genius idea of making it so that Shepard can never see them again

[Unit-Alpha]

Haha, love the new rules. Damage control much?

[marstor05]

well i did call someone a clown for him suggestion formatting the ps3s hard drive as a solution to terrible frame rate lag. does that count?

You know what? Aside from the endings, to which I am neutral on until I see them myself, literally everything in ME3 has be bubbling with excitement. The new Normandy is just... so much better it's amazing. Liara's quarters... technogasm. War room... awesome. everything... awesome. The music... awesome. The gameplay... awesome.

Hell, I think that Mac Walters may actually be on to something. Although the inherent idea that the endings don't matter and that it's the journey that counts is stupid and that a good ending to a good journey can make an experience far better than one consisting of a good journey, I can easily see why he would say that the journey is what matters because, in ME3, the journey is going to be ****ing awesome.

We also must consider that the founders of BioWare have played and loved it. We know that the German gaming review site named it the best Mass Effect yet. Yes, the endings could disappoint, but holy hell up until that point is going to be sweet.

   




So what if Liara has a SB base on the SR 2 now . when at the end the SR 2 gets destroyed in a crash landing on a remote planet and all on it will eventually die . what you do in the game is pointless when its all but preparing to die

didnt one of the writers leave?

Just look at what EA did to the Command & Conquer series.  EA butchers their best franchises all the time.

People actually like these rules, i'm disappoint in you fellow BSN'er

You guys are depressing. So nihilistic. It's not about the end, it's about getting there. We all knew this was Shepard and crews final journey, we knew they had impossible odds. We knew we wouldn't likely see any of them, or their ship, again.

And you can pretty easily lay the blame for what happened with DA2 on EA's feet as well. I don't see any reason for that game to have been as rushed as it was without someone breathing down Bioware's neck to get the next installment out as soon as possible.

[clearlyestated]

I like the script. The dialouge is great! but think about it people the endings make sense.
