I would be much happier had the game ended like castle crashers than the game ending with a magic space angel baby. I find it funny that this all knowing and endlessly intelligent being can predict how every 50,000 years will end but couldn't predict Shepherd stopping the reapers. I find it funny that trans warp beaming was invented as this awesome space battle was going on. I find it funny how your team just non-characteristically leaves you so they can run away to...plot hole. I find it funny that you are referred to as "The Shepherd" and then are told to buy more stuff. What I don't find funny, is how when my opinion isn't in favor of all of these things...I'm called a whinner, told that I'm an entitled nerd, or that when my opinion is proven to be the majority on Bioware's own site, they just throw it out of the window saying"..yeah..well...you don't represent the opinions we want to hear..so we'll just say you're opinion doesn't matter"

Wasn't there a hit song back in the 80's called "Angel Baby"?  :o

....er...not that I would know that from personal experience or anything... :whistle:


There was, friend. :lol:

I'm going to be posting this link more often from now on. Gamer entitlement? Hell yes, we are entitled. And here's why:

Do you guys really think they'll fix the endings? Cuz I'm getting sick of mp and thinking abt trading it in.


I think it's too early to give up. I in no way shape or form believe us to be the vocal MINORITY, and it would be bad business for bioware to offer us nothing. 


But the way they're treating us I don't think they will


I'm not sure what to think yet. The thread with the official bioware peeps was a little disheartening. Still it was from people who haven't finished the game and weren't really or at all a part of the Mass Effect 3 team. Just do what you feel is best for you.

I understand how some of (them / us) feel about Mordin, but: Mordin's was a good death. The situation was made urgent, his expertise was made vital. It's a cheap, easy way out to kill off a redshirt or a new, throwaway character that's never developed (Tosh or whatever his name was in The Mallorean... sigh, Eddings). I know it can't have been easy for the team to decide to kill Mordin, but in such dire circumstances, some loss is fitting. And Mordin's death was beautifully done. It had meaning, it fit well.

Contrasted, of course, with the pointless silly meaningless of this unquestioning Shepard who can choose to die and wreck everything, or die and wreck everything, or die and wreck everything.

No, I'm not happy with Mordin's death either on the "I like the guy" level, but I have no problem with it. A perfect exit. And it's *Mordin's* choice. Shepard's endings were neither Shepard's choice, nor mine.


I don't have a problem with characters being killed off, either. It added a lot of emotional weight to the game. To the point where, when I ran into Kai Leng for the second time, on Thessia... I developed a seething hatred for the man. Killing him was a pleasure.


True that.  Giving them the right send-off...  Carries the weight that pushed us forward.
Or how about when you fight the Reaper on Rannoch?  I was yelling "GET SOME" most of the time.  :lol:
It's these moments we're fighting for...  That and sense to be made.  Both.  Yes.

....But I think calling Leng a man is giving too much credit.  The geth were more human than he ever was.


I also enjoyed their send-offs, in fact the ending of the genophage and get conflict had me tearing up because I had the context of 3 games worth of story to base it around. In both those endings you got a choice based on your previous descisions and you got to see the consequences of those actions, whether it was shooting mordin in the back and tali commiting suicide or mordin redeeming himself through his death and a lasting peace being forged between geth and quarians.

Completely unlike the final endings we were given.

Just thought I'd contribute one more bit from twitter.

"It indicates that I enjoy theorizing--I understand some just want a
"canon" answer. I don't. My interp. IS the only answer I need."

I realize she isn't a dev, and doesn't know anything official.  Just not a fan of the whole, your interpretation is your answer, idea.


Neither am I.

Artistic vision is a convenient way to try to cover up something bad.

Its more like we trolled you all for money.


Either way... Can we please, Please, PLEASE stop having people be dicks to Jessica?  She's one of the few CSRs at least willing to talk about why we feel it is bad, and actually listen to us.  Or do you really prefer the mindless bioware-twitter robot?

Agreed. Express your disapproval civilly.

P.S. My above "troll" comment was ment as a joke for people of the movement. If it offened anyone, I'm sorry.

So, just a thought in my head at the moment about the Synthesize ending. How does an AI/child/whatever grant an entire Galaxy the pinnacle of evolution and life by having a human absorbed into the Crucible and fired around the galaxy? That child has to be God right? I mean... there is no way that our current races were capable of creating a device that can completely restructure EVERYTHING IN THE GALAXIES DNA..

Just had to get that off my chest.. carry on. Hold the LINE.

Yep... Just one more examplle of how the "it's just space magic" ending DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Sorry to shout, but that felt good. I'll just... um... be quiet now. Carry on. Hold the line. Uh... yeah. :(

Forum moderators are far from the same thing as developers, managers, or writers. They have about as much ability to tell us what the current plans are for the game as any of the rest of us. Not meant as an insult, just factual.

Btw. what's funny is that even calling it DNA is pointless at the moment where it supposedly should also be transfering the... umm... genetical cybernetics? What the hell, that doesn't even make any sense...

Oh, wait, we're talking about ME3 endings. :innocent:

So, according to the Green ending, the old man is Joker and the kid is his and EDI's... child? Spawn? Result of happy haptic interfacing?

We are the consumer, it is because of us companies are in business. We MUST hold the line! This movement is bigger now because this is the gaming community saying NO! We are done being cheated. This isn't just about having better endings in Mass Effect 3 anymore. That's how we started but this movement is now a sign to those game companies that we will not roll over and buy whatever they give us. We are their lifeblood and WE have a right to say what sucks and what doesn't! Stand Strong and when we win We can all take pride that we showed the game companies we will not take what THEY decide to give us! We can all say that WE HELD THE LINE!

Not a good strategy, hold out for a good ending, not attack for one. Attacking means we can't defend ourselves. Our line will break.

They aren't just forum morderators tho right? Or am I confused? Stan was in QA (quality something) for the game and the other guy is on the Dragon Age team but yeah same principle applies.
