Regardless of the endings, I'm amazed at the awesome job Jessica Merizan is doing on her own personal twitter feed. Top notch community manager.

She at least gives me hope and she's been real classy about handling everything too.

Indeed, definitely earning her pay this week.  Kudos to her if she sees this.  She's stayed respectful and engaged with the community.

Agreed. She's got my respect.

Agreed.

So any news yet from the Creators?

[PhoenixDove1]

So I briefly told a work friend a little about our situation because she caught me reading an article from one of the sites that expressed better than I can our grievances. She looked at me and said you know it's a game right?' And she didn't say it very nice it was a little condecending. I know why we're doing what we're doing. And I'm holding the line to the bitter end. Why did her remark sting so much?

I have been on and off of this thread all day and think I've caught most of what's been going down. I haven't seen any new articles or other recognition from the media since last night and was wondering if I missed something. Hold that line.

very good article at the vine, have you seen it?  http://www.thevine.c...le20120314.aspx

No that's a new one. I got me a bit of reading to do thanks.

welcome.

I thought I was over it fr a second there, then I decided to have a listen to the Clint Mansell music again on youtube. I now have PTSD.

Will this pain never end?

I know you guys are trying to be funny and i get the PTSD  joke but  lets trying  avoid it we don't want to step on any  ones toes here... or give the nay sayers something to use against use.. like

Just saying guys..

I see your point. However I'm in the Armed Forces, I have friends with genuine PTSD, I'm sure they won't mind as they think the ending was toilet too.

Yeah, I'm under treatment for clinical depression; so I find the everyday use of that word to be a little inconsiderate as well. Inconsiderate use of PTSD is actually worse, because of the connection to specific traumatic experiences.

My first pyramid-quote, by the way.

Again point taken, I apologise.  I realise now that "Forces humour" has no place outside the barracks.  No harm meant.

Forces humour has just as much of a right to be here as people do to taking offense. I suffer from clinical depression but I have no issue with the use of it in comedy.

Everyone has different levels and if you're not actually going out with intent to offend other people then you shouldn't apologise and they should be a bit more understanding.

I am now retiring to bed. I will cope tonight by grafting the end of Return of the Jedi to the end of ME3. Only It will be Joker shouting "Yahoooo" as he streaks out of the explosion instead of Lando Calrissian with the Normandy replacing the Milenium Falcon and Volus dancing around bonfires instead of God forsaken Ewoks.

Yub nub, eee chop yub nub *breath*

Because she doesn't understand.  Put it to her this way:

You paid money for it.  You weren't satisfied with it.  You want the company to fix it, along with a LOT of other people.

Remind her that if she bought a shirt that had a big rip in it she didn't notice until she got home, that she'd take it back to the store and want a replacement/get her money back.

 And on a happier note, ME3 is about to be released in Japan. :happy:
Then I decided to take a look around Japanese websites about it and they have no idea what's waiting them at the end...SPACE MAGIC

Already got released there...don't forget, they're a day ahead of us.

[Renoskunk]

Still holding the line. Still completely confused by the ending and hoping things get changed or new endings added.

Yep, she is the only one from BW giving me some hope....even though it's little hope, it's still something and I owe much of that to her.


As for the charity, can someone give me an updated number? I am having some problems with the site.
Last I checked a couple of hours ago it was 40k+

I prefer to say that people are going through the first 4 of the 5 stages of grief. Because it is SO true.

that was definitely me when i first beat the game lol

The first stage is right on the money! The very first thing I did after completion was check other peoples reactions to the "renegade ending" to see if it was just me over reacting, had no idea it would lead to me donating to a charity and following petitions.

My friend, I know you mean no harm, and I know they were joking about it. But still...

It has been 6 days (and spare) since I finished the game. Even after all this time I haven't been able to even open the ME3 game windows again, I haven't been able to play any other game, and I really have been feeling depressed and gloomy. My friends have noticed (though none been a gamer couldn't know why), my coworks noticed as well, and there is just nothing I can do about it. Damn.. I even had nightmares, where I was the one running from the reaper near the light beam...

I know it's nowhere near real PTSD, but nevertheless, the psychological shock I suffered was way beyong anything I had expected, or een thought possible... I know it will go way, sooner or later (hope for sooner though), but to just let go of 1000+ hours played in the Mass Effect Universe, from reading all the comics, the news, and the excitment related to this last game, the antecipation, to be rewarded by a big middle finger and a FU, it just too much to handle at some moments.

Still, I am holding the line and waiting for Bioware to come clean with us...

Wow, and I thought I'd be the only one.. now I see similarities with you.
The first moment I saw that turian spectre Nihlus, a very intense moment. He was cold, ruthless, but badass at the same time. After that these blue skinned, female-human-alike aliens, which looked all the same when I first saw them. Up to a long romance with one of them, even promising little blue children to Liara.. Oh and did I mention to save the universe a few times? And then ending it in a multiflavoured spacemagic explosions which made no sense at all.
Currently I do not want to play any game at all..

Oops... I didn't think an apology was necessary at all; sorry if what I said implied this. Maybe I shouldn't have said 'inconsiderate'; that's a bit too strong.

No harm/offense taken; just some pedantic nitpicking about the use of a word.

To go back on topic: The twitter feed is interesting, though most of the people complaining are just as vague as the official 'replies'. (...I don't know, it kinda felt off..., etc.) That's changing for the better, though..

I also wondered about this. But didn't she leave the Citadel during the events of ME2? I hope so....otherwise she probably didn't make it.

Does Shepard lose any battle? (excluding that one thing on Thessia, but Kai Leng got paid back in full)
If we are given control of Shepard again, it is a possibility that there may be one ending like the one you hope for.

Mind you, it is quite possible there will be no such extension of story or ending, in which case... *sigh*

"It's just a book." "It's just a movie." "It's just a game." Different people enjoy different mediums. So to us, it's not just a game. It's our interactive story. Where our choices were supposed to mean something. That's why it stings so much.

Yeah she's been a class act through all this.  It's appreciated.

[TheInvicibleCandyBar]

I just read some twitter stuff of biowares and it seems to suggest that there will be true ending dlc. And I guess if they release that and it makes sense this time, i'll buy it. But I also think that it's reprehensible to lable something as a complete and finalized product, only to state later that it isn't, here, buy the real ending! What about people without internet connections? Or limited ones? I know for the longest time I couldn't download any ME2 dlc because of horrible internet connection.
