Good day all, any updates since last night?

Rent Effect....I like it! I hope that the feedback from Japanese players added to ours would finally change something..


It probably will. They will either boycot it forever or they will start being passive agressive *cough cough* NGEvangelion*cough cough*

On a side note, I love reading their discussions/comments. They sound so disappointed and make mean comments that it turns out to be funny. 


Most likely boycott forever, IF not fixed soon. Eastern/Chinese/Japanese players already are not to fond of western RPGs for things such as the ending of ME3. They only played the first 2 and started giving Bioware a chance because they could control for a happy or an ending that makes since. Japanese rpgs tend to have very happy endings and now they get this...this is going to set back sales in Asia if this isn't fixed.

I keep seeing folk use movies as examples, eg would you boycott a movie with a bad ending, last I looked the directors do not put the viewer in control of a movie, game developers on the other hand do, to give them control right through the game and then rip it away at the last moment is a poor move, if they just want to tell a story, then write a book or go into movie making.

Just finished the game. I’m just as disappointed about the ending as the rest of you. None of our choices matter!

It’s our duty to hold the line. This can’t be the end!

Welcome to the war kinsman! Grab the link from my banner and add it to you're sig, i've been more or less alone representing us so far :P

Oh, I know, right? They only like JRPG because they can do everything they want. Then they started liking ME more when it was released for PS3 (one of their favorite console...they don't really like Xbox) and because it had a more JRPG feeling then other western games. And now...this. They are not pleased.

any news ?

how is Marauder Shields ?


Japan forums are blowing up with anger calling Mass Effect "Rent Effect" and they are still silent at Bioware HQ


Haha, I knew the Japanese would eventually come up with a nickname. Be glad they aern't making threat notes :lol:

P.S. if there are any Japanese citizens here who felt offended by that, I am sorry. It was in no way supposed to be a mean comment...just a reference for NG Evangelion and how its ending was dealt with. 

 

I'm just glad to have them on ourside... all three major markets pissed off about tendings... maybe some over there should start the   RetakeMassEffect 3:   Pacific Fleet...  ^_^

Exactly, Bioware will feel the trembles of Japans anger for a LONG TIME if they don't fix it. Japan was starting to really love Bioware because they made the BEST Western rpgs. Now with this ending that makes no sense and no control for happy ending...Japan isn't going to be buying from them for a LONG time.

I'm not too sure of that. As of right now, the game has great critical reviews, and has only been out for a week. Many of the big review sites, such as IGN are posting stories about how rediculous fan complaints are.


Forget about IGN, seriously...

Remember that reporter from the game, Diane (?) Allers?
Accidentially this character was modeled after and is voice acted by Jessica Chobot, who happens to be some IGN starlet...
In other words, IGN is biased in favor of BioWare like there is no tomorrow.

Morning,

I come bering gifts.^^

http://ps3.ign.com/a... (IGN Complete)



another pile of crap.

Basically boils down to gamers are spoiled brats who feel they have a right to demand something from the publisher.


They state, that ME3 is now a finished product, and you can like the ending or not, but you can't ask the devs to change it, because clearly - it's their story that's supposed to play out and end the way THEY feel it should play out and end.


Way to fail to understand the nature of the problem.


But okay, i'll play along and I will not ask for a new ending. Instead I demand a full 90 minute Live action film with avatar-grade special effects to be released, for free, for each of the 16 possible endings that will explain in detail what EXACTLY happens to everyone.

And I mean everyone:

Krogan, Quarian, Geth, Anderson, Hackett, Jack, Miranda, Tali, Vega, Kaidan/Ash, Garrus, Victus, Wrex/Wreav, Liara, Zaeed, Samara, Kasumi, Jacob, Reapers, Relays, Armada, Earth, and of course - Shepard.


Is that better IGN? It's not like I'm asking the storytellers to tell me a different story. I'm not asking Josef Stalin for a different ending to the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.


You know what: Yesterday I got the kitchen furniture I ordered a while back, but the drawers had inapropriate handles. Know what I did? I asked them to take the fronts back anc change them (and that means making new fronts, because the holes do not match). But i guess I had a right to do that, being a paying customer and all.

Oh my beloved Command & Conquer. I remember listening to "Act on instinct" all day. Good times with an awesome game.


"Just do it" beats that anytime :devil:

Really a phantastic game, although the NOD mission in greece drove me almost insane.
But it's really painful to see what the Westwood studios have become now...


Nah, Act on Instinct all the way. Have praise to Frank Klepacki here, awesome soundtrack.

Well, yeah Westwood Studios hvae been gone for a long time. A few founded EA LA, which is now that Bioware Spinoff, developing Generals 2. Others founded Petroglyph who developed Star Wars: Empire at War.

I actually met Louis Castle once, he's a cool guy.

But let's not get too off topic. <_<

It's because the big game sites have more to lose if they upset the big companies.

Very true. And that's also why people shouldn't really trust game reviews.

like few hundred pages ago someone linked a voice file where we could hear Joker saying "Girls are with me" from aboard the Normandy so... it would explain EDI and Tali stranded with our pilot on the garden world. Maybe in original ending Shep ordered him to get the hell out of the Sol system. BUT how the hell my LI Tali who was with me stormin g the beam got to Normandy? I keep trying to understand the ending to put my mind at ease but it just doesnt work.... How can they keep their mouth shut with such obvious mistakes and nonsenses on the plate...

Welcome Back!
They are calling it that because it has no replay value because of how bad the ending is and what it does.

Sigh... I don't know why Penny-arcade think you have to be "True" sci-fi fans to understand the "beauty" of ME3... I actually feel sorry for them if they can take this amount of beating and feel good about it. Also it seems they don't give any proper light to the faults and instead cling onto their "True" sci-fi fan theme...


Well at least now everyone is able to understand why he doesn't have a problem with the ending, in the middle of his rambling, he openly admits that he is not that much of a ME-fan...

Sure, if you are just some casual gamer who doesn't know yet alone care about the backstory, it might actually be fun "to shoot da alienz 'n stuff", but on the other hand you have no right to judge people who complain over things you don't understand in the first place anyway.


<_< *True* sci-fi fans... Yet another flavor of the *you just don't get it* argument.
This is getting old fast.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Now we know why ign is against this...Diane always made me feel uncomfortable anyway, maybe because of her voice or eyes? I dont know...
