There was no way we could have known. At the time we didn't know he had defected, and now... It's too, it's too late.

Without going to foul language, I think Mr. Hudson is smart enough to realize he just gave the core fanbase "le doigt d'honneur" and that he should make amends for that. Even though, this group opposes slandering campaigns, that's the most likely thing to happen when we find out BioWare is just toying with us.

I didn't see much after that... I have a feeling he realized how much he angered his company's core customers and decided if he didn't have anything but gasoline in his firetruck he wasn't going to try putting the fire out til someone brought him water.

Hi there folks,

I've been reading this thread for the best part of two weeks now, having heard enough unnerving rumours to make me spoil the endings for myself, with reactions you're all all too familiar with. It's given me hope and despair in equal measure.

I'm ashamed that after that wore off I ended up getting the game anyway, which I'm cringingly ashamed about (plays right into the hands of the "You'll buy it anyway" people although don't expect me to spend a penny on DLC). It would've been easier to avoid if everyone had said the rest of the game is bad too, but the opinion seems to be pretty much the opposite. I'd figured I'd heard enough to know when to quit. I'm really sorry about that, and feel that I've let you all down there. At least I can add my voice here to make amends in some small way (although I've still got the faint nugget of hope that it's all an incredibly impressive troll that's made a lot of people go through what the characters are supposed to be going through).

By the way, I assume it's OK just to pinch the appropriate "Take back" signature image?

i think this was my reaction to ME3s ending it fits so well with my emotions

I got my semi-ending. I accomplished what I set out to do: Destroy the Reapers. Why would I choose anything else? Control means being like TIM. Synthesis means being like Saren. No.

Pretty much that's how I interrupted it. My Shep doesn't want to be TIM nor Saren....so Destroy was the only way for me to go.

Wow, I can't actually keep up with this thread. But the Forbes articles are all great. I'm officially joining the fleet with my new sig banner and donation to Child's Play.

We will hold the line.

If I ever play through again he'll be the one to save the galaxy from my Shep.

If I ever play through again I'll let him kill me. Then he runs into the beam, storms the Citadel, takes out the Illusive Man and thus saves Anderson, and then activivates the Crucible saving the galaxy.

Even the music at the end of ME3 made me sad. Where is all that uplifting 'yeah we did it!" music from the other games? I really want to replay ME3 but every time i go to try I cannot bring myself to do it. The endings were powerful but totally killed the replayability...

The most frustrating thing is knowing Bioware could so easily fix it if they chose to have mercy.

The soundtrack for this game, as with the others as well, are nothing short of beautiful and amazing. Whenever I even dare try and listen to "I'm proud of you", I just see Anderson dying and oops there goes the tears.

I like it but I can't stand to lissen to it right now, too painful.

Posts going by so fast, I can't keep up and read all. I'm certainly not going back. I'm too old and I would die first before I get to all of them.

That piano piece has been haunting me for days, won't leave my head, so understand what you mean.

It's more the way he's so insulting about the fact that we dislike the ending. I don't give a damn about Day 1 DLC but he tars all of us here with the same brush as the guys insulting devs and stuff. That's why I think he's a ******.

Usually this is actually from someone who didn't do proper due diligence in journalism.  I hate to admit it but even some of the ones strongly on our side are simply pulling the 'spokesperson line' from the Child's play page.  Maybe 2 or 3 total have actually come on here and read some of these comments.  The gentleman from Forbes appears to be one.  His references remind me of posts some here have made the past few days.

Welcome to modern journalism.. where if it doesn't show up on a wire or explode in front of you it's not worth writing about.

Yeah, pretty much, I agree, the Forbes article was probably one of, if not, the best article I've seen on this topic yet.

Maybe, but it's not Bioware... It's EA.

It doesn't appear as if EA had anything to do with the ending we got, but hopefully EA can fix it (how flippen sad is it that my hopes rest on EA's shoulders).

i wouldnt make that assumtion yet the ending might have reflected a new branch out to more players who are used to a differnt gameplay experince

Hi, guys. First post like so many others. Need to vent. Try to bear.

So, the ending. I have never been so disappointed with an ending to anything, let alone a video game. I actually felt physical pain after I realised that the ending that we got was all there is. This series is the cornerstone of my PC gaming career. Story ahead. It's long.

In 2008, at the age of 18, I died, physically (I got better). I collapsed to a bathroom due to tachycardia and was technically dead for 10 minutes. No definite medical reason was ever found. After that day I have been unable to walk properly (still can't) due to which I was practically institutionalised for a year. During that time I could only play video games on weekends, on a laptop.

After a while, I got back home and got a PC, my first proper PC that could actually run games. I bought one called Mass Effect from Steam as I remembered it got good review scores. I played it and loved it. I still remember vividly how I played from Ilos to the end, at night, in a trance-like state. I was unable to stop until it was done. I gave it a mental standing ovation.

Then I looked into things and learned of Mass Effect 2. I had to have it and so I did. It, of course, did not have the same unforgettable effect as Mass Effect 1, but it was still amazing. I got everyone to survive because that's who I am. It also introduced many characters that I love dearly to this day, Legion, Thane, Mordin, Grunt.

Next up, Lair of the Shadow Broker. Best DLC I have ever bought. And it brought back Liara, who was my love interest from MassEffect. Preparing for the eventual launch of Mass Effect 3, the grand finale of everything.

And then, on the 8th of March 2012, the time had come. I dived back in determined to achieve the same trance I did on Ilos. On the way I cured the Genophage, united the Quarians and Geth, witnessed the deaths of Legion, Mordin, Thane and almost Grunt (don't you dare leave me Grunt). They died for a cause, a good cause. Then came the final stretch, assault on Earth. When the fleets arrived, my fleets, I knew that trance would be achieved soon. And it was. Then the unimaginable happened, the white lift of dread appeared (after an incredible scene with Anderson). I was in shock at the prospect of the choices, all of which were terrible. I am to sacrifice myself and destroy the Relays? Why? I would doom everyone I gathered to help me. I went for synthesis and thought it was the least bad choice. Colors happened and Normandy crashed. My crew abandoned me, Liara abandoned me, everyone left me there, nobody cared.

All this time I had hope, hope against Sovereign, hope against the Collectors, hope for Earth. And then that hope was taken by an apparition of all things. If you made it this far, you have guessed that this franchise is heavily linked to me not being able to walk after my incident. That too requires hope, hope that was taken, symbolically, by the apparition. All because Bioware apparently did not care enough to provide proper closure. There was never any hope, it was a lie.

A Future for the Krogan is beautiful composition, and also a lie. There is no future, nor hope. And now I'm crying again. I hope you are pleased, Bioware.

I know exactly how u feel friend. This February after expensive medical tests i was diagnosed with something very bad. No details needed. I fell into depression because of that and it might be silly but the thought of my beloved ME3 coming soon kept me going. I think i dont have to say how betrayed i felt when witnessing how the saga ended. After 3 days since i finished the game i still walk as if in a bad dream. Being here with all those people who feel the same helps!

Cheer up soldier, lets hold the line together!

That seems to be how things go, apart from joining the Russian fleet. You don't HAVE to be depressed to join the Russian Fleet....

While reading this thread, I had the annoying habit of flicking open and shut a Zippo lighter. Now, no gas.

I guess I'm going to bed. I am a tad sad, I hope to see this evolve in a positive way but I have no faith in those sneaky people at BioWare.

Antwerp out.

I think Mr. Hudson has no idea what an unforgettable end is. Or maybe he does. The end of ME3 is unforgettably bad...

Its so frustrating. If there had been two types of endings it would have been twice as unforgetable. We would rememeber the sad endings for the powerful, heartbreaking moments and we'd remember the happy endings for the powerful uplifting moments. You can either walk away from the game feeling crushed and depressed or walk away feeling pumped and awesome that Shepherd made it!

Bad & depressing is not the only way to make something unforgettable. Especially not with this series.

Not going to fault anyone for getting the game.. I would have done the same thing.. it's part of the problem here.. if it was a company with a reputation of putting out bad products no one would be as upset as they are... but it's Bioware, they're supposed to be the thing Canada put out as a counter to the horrible-ness of Nickelback, Justin Bieber and Celine Dion (I jest ).  *shakes head in shame*

Tried to play a different game. Made a rest. Joined Spectators.
Guess what I read instead of "Spectators"
Right, I read "Spectres". When does it stop?
