I'm a calm man, but that "text message" by the end of the game boils the blood. You get that lousy ending, and then get a message that makes you feel like you're playing old games. "Shep is a Legend. Now buy more stuff and keep playing".

What the hell happened???


You were trolled by the game... (no pun intended)

Join the fight ...


Well, I've been fighting for days, here. But reading that article with that piece again... man... makes your blood boil.

I want to marry Tali, and have weird freakish children.


Just a question if anyone here is a molecular biologist.  I was always pretty good at bio, but this is way above me.  With different DNA would it even be possible to have children with Tali?  I have always kind of wondered about that.


I studied Human Genetics, so I think it's close enough.

No, it wouldn't be possible. The species might be cose enough to produce an offspring but that would be sterile, like the offspring of a Horse and a Donkey. Given the different protein structure of their bodies and basic chemistry, it is unlikely that fertilisation could even take place.


Although presuming they had the technology (which wouldn't surprise me) you could probably create a dextro copy of Shepard's DNA, subject it to a process similar to meiosis, and fertilize Tali with it if the species are close enough. Same Re: Garrus and levo-DNA.


You're forgetting space magic... it works for Bioware... we might as well use it too.  :wizard:

So far I've only seen it on the Facebook. I'll c/p the relevant parts, since I think this is a super good idea!

"
Letters need to be short, and simple. Highlight why you are writing to them, and what you are asking for. Do not suggest ideas for a new ending other than in vague terms.
BE POLITE AND COURTEOUS. If it wouldn't be in a Disney cartoon it shouldn't be in your letter.

DO NOT send the letters out yet. There will be a single release date, so Bioware knows we are organized.

add: #RetakeMassEffect somewhere in your letter, so they know we are all in this together.

Can't send a physical letter? Email works, same rules as above.

Where to send:
Mailing Address:
BioWare Edmonton
200-4445 Calgary Trail NW
Edmonton AB
Canada T6H 5R7

Email: contact@bioware.com

Send out your letters on MARCH 17th."


Quick question which 17th of march is it? becasue I live in Austrlia and my 17th of march is the 16th for America


lol... a day or two won't matter but since you're there and I'm here, send earlier by a day or two.

And this is what gives me hope for a real ending. A respected site with respectable journalists writing articles that not only understand our demise, but also support our cause. I am proud to be here.

HOLD THE LINE PEOPLE, THE END IS NEARER THAN YOU THINK!!

^ this, i will continue to hold the line with all of you until the very end!

I don't want to sound like an old man but let's cut out the genetics talk. We all love Tali but it's off topic and can get this thread shut down. Let's keep it on topic and, of course, civil.

I agree but I'd also like to shake the hand of the person who also donated $1.00 or less.  Anyone who contributed to this deserves a handshake, IMO.  If you are even thinking about it, I say, just do it - even if it's just pennies.  It all matters and it all means something.  It's not about the monetary value.

At this point, I'm over it. I really am.
Every jerk out there calling us "entitled whiners", lack of response from BW, the general lack of caring from BW and EA.
Lying to your fanbase and acting like you are the best thing since sliced bread is not a good way to keep people happy.
I'm so happy that Child's Play has gotten some good out of this all, but I just don't care about it anymore. BW and EA are not getting anything more money from me.
It's that simple.



Agreed.  I was all for holding the line, but the complete lack of response from the company to whom I gave my hard earned cash is completely unacceptable.  I save my money for other game, I read some Mass Effect fic for catharsis, and then go play some Skyrim.  Life goes on.


By doing so you are behaving exactly as they expect us to behave. They want us to give up and leave...

From day 1 when I joined this movement I knew it would be hard to get an answer, I KNEW there would be no hope for a better ending, and I knew they would blatantly ignore us for as long as they could.

But this is not why I am here. I am here because I am sick of companies acting as if we were nothing else than money bags. I am sick of companies doing whatever they want without any regard for their customers,  and I am sick of their attitude as soon they will be demanding us to buy their products again..

This is why we must hold the line. Not for the game, Not for the ending, but FOR OURSELVES, FOR OUR DIGNITY AND OUR RIGHTS AS CONSUMERS..

Now more than ever is the time to stay strong and stand together...


I agree, but the issue is, I'm so freaking over it. Ive been following the forum post since page 200. I've done what I can, spread the word, donated cash. Raged but not posted about articles that just call us pathetic.

I have people I know who have finished the game and agree, and I've had some that don't and I've wondered why? But I havent called them elitest jerks, nor entitled or pathetic.

But at this point it honestly feel's like BW and EA are just swimming in their pools of money and could care less about the fans. (EA is a given but not BW)
All these bits popping up of deleted speech, Plans on the game. It's just so disheartening to know that a company like BW can fob off it's hardcore crowd and get so lazy on the ending of possibly one of the greatest Scifi games of all time then have the audacity to tell us to get DLC to continue..

I won't stop hoping for new content that finishes this. I wont stop supporting, but its just so hard to care.
You all have so much passion, and I did too, at first, but every little bit of bad news just feels like more nails in the coffin.
Ultimately the only thing I can do now is not give them any more money. Hurt their bottom line.. then maybe they'll get the hint that they shouldn't bite... no, tear off and eat the hand that feeds them.

No Shepard without Vakarian. He tried to protect me from heartbreak as a best friend should.


Didn't they also do the Dutch/Dillion (Predator) bro shake in that scene as well? :crying:


They man hug it.

Actually, after Shepard wakes up from the rubble she walks over to marauder shield's body and yells out "you damn dirty reapers!". Or maybe"KAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHNNNNN!". I'm not sure which Image IPB

On a sidenote, I like how my Playlist has a mind of it's own, Shuffle on, just as I entered this thread "Libera me from Hell" started playing.... I think the Reapers are in my PC. Halp.

Nope, I'm definitely going for adoption of a quarian orphan and spend our evenings on rannoch looking out across the sea at the sun telling stories about Uncle 'karian and Legion.


You should adopt the kid that had both it's parents die, one in ME2 and the other on Rannoch in ME3

Damn you, that was strangely inspiring. 

...FINE I'm staying. 

Although why they'd WANT me to leave and take my money with me is beyond me.  Seems like bad business.


If it makes you feel better I've often switched between hopeful, incredibly depressed, and determined within the past few days.


You are the lucky one. I am still in shock even a week later from finishing the game... I wonder how I will feel once the shock wears off, if it ever does....

Someone else responded to my comment to so I'm reposting it mainly so people don't think I'm completely heartless:


This thread moves so fast I have no idea if any of these responses
were in response to what I had said. I'm going the paranoid route
though.

I would like to clarify that I think everyone who
donated, regardless of amount, is awesome. My comment about those two
huge donators is that such large amounts are shockingly selfless
(strictly imo) so I wanted to thank them for being more generous than I.
Regardless of what you donate, the fact that you donated to a great
charity like that is worthy of note.

I am sorry but *cracks up laughing* 


Waiting on the Kotaku Article about the Mass Effect 3 community members band together to support the ending...
I hear that golden pyramid tomb for the Kotaku writers is supposed to be finished by the egyptian slaves later next decade.


Im trying to write an article about our side to Kotaku BR. They were an ass about us too.

Honestly I wouldn't expect to get support from any journalists except those that focus on Producer / Consurmer interaction.  In hindsight I'm not surprised a business magazine is one of our strongest supporters in the media.

I want to clarify for my part my comment was not against you or anyone. I am happy you shared that someone donated so much since I didn't know. I'm just saying our community as a whole donated so much.
