it says the same thing that hudson said yesterday, it just doesn't come across as bad....they are banking on the end being 'understood' by the folks in asia and we look like fools.....

 


At least they took the time to acknowledge the outrage directly. *shrugs*
I don't expect much of anything to come from it, but I'm glad that he took the time to make the thread ^_^

I have been lurking around on these forums for a very long time. But, the ending of Mass Effect 3 left me in a kind of a shocked state and forced me to login and express my views. I have finished the game twice now and both times I had to ALT+F4 after seeing that awful "You are now THE Shepard" epilogue. I don't know if I was naive to have thought that BioWare would keep their promises of "widely varying endings" but to me, the ending felt like a breach of trust. The screwy twitter feedbacks and Chris Priestly's thread which tells us "we are listening" don't help either. It's like they dropped the ball and now they're hoping that this will all just go away if they pretend to care. What hurts even more is that I convinced 2 of my friends to just buy the game so that we could enjoy playing Multiplayer together which I found pretty interesting after playing the demo. Now, I only play the MP coz I asked my friends, who wouldn't have bothered with this game otherwise, to buy it.

Please fix this BioWare. I have been a loyal customer and I will continue to be one, but after giving us a taste of choices->consequences gameplay, you can't just take it away and give us something that is ripped off (completely or partially) from a thousand other sci-fi sources like Gurren Lagann, BSG etc. and doesn't even make sense in the context of this game. Both of my Paragade Shepards proved that AI and Organics can live in peace, who is this ****ing Starchild to tell me that they can't? What proof does he have? And why did my Shepards, both of whom have made badasses like Wrex and Grunt stand down, talked down Admirals and Dalatrass and pretty much told most people who have told them "you can't do this" or "you won't succeed" (case in point, Saren in Mass Effect and The Illusive Man in Mass Effect 3) to screw off, take the advice of a corporeal AI so meekly? And no, all this talk of indoctrination theory just doesn't cut it for me. If WE have to make up theories about an ending it wasn't a good ending. This isn't Inception or Lost, damn it! This is Mass Effect. The genre is completely different. I'm sorry if I got a bit carried away. It's just that I have 2 more playthroughs of Mass Effect 2 which are now completely redundant and I know that those Shepards will never get a chance to conclude their journey. I'd rather remember them as they were at the end of Mass Effect 2, than as the meek wuss who takes their advice from the enemy after years of hardships.

I'm mentally substituting the kid model for a pyjack model in my mind so the end turns a little more satisfying in my memories.

It is not understood by the Japanese gamers. 2chan thread says otherwise. ^_^


EDIT: they have a thread talking about the ending (I just can't find the beginning of it...2chan is a complicated forum)
and from what I read, they cannot understand why Shepard can't choose something else. They are not happy.

hmm


all hope just ****ed


Observation; That is not stating that such a DLC does not exist, just that that isn't what they would call it if it did. If you think about it *if* the DLC rumour is correct the last thing they would want to do is call it anything that could be considered a sign that the ending, as is, was a lie...because that would also mean that they lied about the base game being complete.


true, good point, just hope you are right


DLC: Shepard Strikes Back

Followed by

DLC: Return of the Shepard


Let's not forget :

DLC: Sheppard and the Curse of the ME3 ending

Followed by

DLC: Sheppard: At Bioware's End...

Oregon Jellyfish reporting in.
The excitement for the next game after I finished ME2.
The excitement when they announced ME3.
The excitement when I finally preordered ME3.
The excitement when the game was shipped.
The excitement when the UPS truck pulled up.
The excitement when my Shepard from ME2 came back to life.
The excitement when I was playing through the game
The excitement when I punched Kai Leng's wussy-ass sword and stabbed the chump.

ALL OF THAT EXCITEMENT. YOU KILLED IT, BIOWARE. You managed to kill my excitement for the series with your cheap-ass, one-size-fits-all ending. I could have played this game over and over for a great ending. I know I enjoyed the ending to ME2, even though it left things open. I just felt good and felt like what I did made a difference. This ending? I'll be dreading it if I ever decide to play the game through again.

Bless your hearts!

How about Rainbow Dash flying from relay to relay and blowing every reaper apart with a sonic rainboom?
That way we could get all the colors (OMG!)... and the rainbow-nova fuses every living being in the galaxy into a pony-hybrid.
It works because SPACE-PONY-MAGIC! :wizard:

Sorry, it's just that joking about the whole thing makes me feel better. Still holding the line :)

Can we please not post tweets from the @masseffect twitter. It is just a series of programmed responses which can give misleading information.

Just to show that it's not real:

Hmmm, do you think this could be a prelude to a mobile ME game?

I mean we are already in the mindset of amassing as many people from as many places together. Talking about it as if we are in the final battle for Earth.

I like it!!!

Look what BioWare Community Coordinator Chris Priestly said:

"We appreciate everyone’s feedback about Mass Effect 3 and want you to know that we are listening. Active discussions about the ending are more than welcome here, and the team will be reviewing it for feedback and responding when we can. Please note, we want to give people time to experience the game so while we can’t get into specifics right now, we will be able to address some of your questions once more people have had time to complete the game. In the meantime, we’d like to ask that you keep the non-spoiler areas of our forums and our social media channels spoiler free.
We understand there is a lot of debate on the Mass Effect 3 ending and we will be more than happy to engage in healthy discussions once more people get to experience the game. We are listening to all of your feedback.
In the meantime, let’s give appreciation to Commander Shepard. Whether you loved the ME3 ending or didn’t or you just have a lot of questions, he/she has given many of us some of the best adventures we have had while playing games. What was your favorite moment?"


I call this damage control (though I had another not so polite name in mind). I say they are still trolling us, trying to gain time and somehow increase support to their view of the endings, so they won't have to do anything about it... They might be hoping the Asia will side with them, or that we will go way... For the first I very much doubt it, according to early comments on japanese forums, for the second all I can say:

We Will Hold the Line.....




His post is worth nothing. Its just the useual marketing bla bla to try to controle the rage while still hoping that it does not get even bigger media presence in order to save additional sells.
They might tell us something like "get used to it" in a few days/weeks when the sell hype is over.

I don't know why they would call the ending DLC 'The Truth'...I'd have thought it would have made more sense to call it 'The Colour of (Space) Magic'...
