@JessicaMerizan Is it too much to hope for that Shepard fights off Indoctrination, wakes up and ends up back with his crew? :(

@paulverhoeven no - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

Jackpot?


No she has explicitly stated that she is not hinting at any future dlc on twitter.  She is only telling people to use their imaginations to interpret things however they want.

The tweets from the official Bioware Twitter and staff acounts are becoming a real kick in the quad...



I've been civil long enough they're being nothing but douche bags I mean I understand that asia hasn't had time to beat it yet but my god how hard is it to at least answer some questions and answer them the right way instead of making something stupid up? I don't see how any of them made it through school.


But they had. Many have already posted on forums around japan and other places saying that the ending really sux..

It's not just us, is the entire world saying the end is ludicrous and flawed (only some paid journalists agree with Bioware)


I bet BioWare loves wearing cargo shorts...

What Caps Lock? I have no idea of that to which you refer, old chap.


*tip my hat*  And that's ma'am to you, soldier.


I do beg your pardon. I have a cold.

Let's make sure to stay civil and respectful folks. I know this twitter thing has everyone going a bit crazy but we need to remember to stay civil and keep the Bioware bashing to a minimum.

 Whoever posted that youtube video of ME3 real ending anime style in Japanese...you have made me addicted to the song...


It's a good song :D From Gurren Laggan if your wondering.


I know, I googled it, found it on youtube and it's been playing on replay ever since. 
I wish they had made that the real ending...:(

I don't see a lot of fans asking, "But what did it all mean? What is the significance of this color or that gesture?" No, the questions are "Why is Shepard acting like a moron and agreeing with arguments she/he could easily refute with her/his actions earlier in the same game?" [/i][/i]


Had they really been after that kind of question, it could have worked out, perhaps. They didn't do too bad of a job treating some of the 'big themes' that they did pick up; such as, free will, right to self-determination, conditions for the possibility of 'perpetual peace', and so forth. At times it did devolve into sheer banality, but never to a level that insults the player's intelligence.

The awful truth about the 'ending', is that they simply did not bother to write a logical conclusion to the series. They thought they could get away with that, if they could concoct a sufficiently vague, intentionally murky, totally arbitrary stopping point. While 'the ending' does recycle some of the series' main themes, it does this in an incoherent context, that is utterly incongruent with the rest of the story.

It's a textbook example of becoming a parody, or even worse, a travesty, of oneself.

Now, they (both BW, and profound people who felt the unfathomable depths of the ending) are trying to justify this in utterly ludicrous ways. I've heard at least one person claim that it switches to 'nonrepresentational art' in the finale. That's hypocritical name-dropping. In a word, it's plain old dishonesty.

Just makes it worse. If I wanted bad fanfic for ME3, I wouldnt have bought the damn game.

Read this too.  Idk how to feel about it after all of her other tweets today.  She could be giving us hope or essentially telling us that it's okay to fantasize about a different ending than what we got but it still won't change.

Is that 'no' to it is too much to hope for, or 'no' to it being a possibility?

Ya know, I was actually about to move fully into the acceptance phase and just lovingly hang on to the Indoc. theory for hope. The line was slipping from my hands and I was going to go peacefully into the night just knowing that we were right and that more was coming.

Well, this recent twitter storm has moved me from acceptance into seething rage. Consider this line freakin' held, dammit.

Don't move into indoc theory. You might be again depress when BW explain the ending.

Jessica Merizan just confirmed it, the destruction of the Mass Relays was NOT the same as in the Arrival DLC.

In other words, it is confirmed that the galaxy was not "destroyed" but the destruction of the relays.



LoL that doesnt even make sense


Sure it does.  You destroyed the relay with a meteor in Arrival, whereas here you destroyed it with colored SPACE MAGIC:wizard:

Makes perfect sense once you stop trying to make it make sense.



Hey, hey, hey!  Fight that impulse!  That's how indoctrination happens.

You know what's truly sad about this image?

The History Channel has for some time now devolved into the American Propaganda & Psuedoscience Channel.

Joke's on us, I suppose.

Thats a fair point mate. Its far from being absolutely confirmed, but if these are the ideas of someone in touch with the dev team extensively, I'd say they have some merit.

Jessica is not in touch with anybody.

She works under Chris Priestly, handling the Twitter feeds and the Facebook pages.

That's it.

She has no idea what she's talking about, any more than any of the people she's responding to.
