I can't believe this thread has 1500 pages. What if we get it to 5000?

Let's hope Bioware answer before that happens :wizard:

Whaaaaat?

Did the ME 3 Twitter guy really say that to him???


Think the M3 tweet is just trolling the guy, like if I insulted you in utter rage and you just reply "oh so serious", making me even more ragey!. xD

If not, well then it shows something completely different, something i dont even want to think about. <_<


You mean he was offending the ME 3 Twitter guy first then? Sorry, I'm no Twitter user und thus don't understand what the fuss about his tweet about ....

The Southern fleet rises again!

Seriously...they teased so much about being able to build Tali her home. Even if Shep isn't around to do it..they strand her on some jungle world with no hope of ever doing so?

Who cares about the next Mass Effect game if all we have to look forward to is Bioware giving our next cast another slow and lonely death.

How did my squadmates, who were charging the citadel with me, wind up on the Normandy, which was fairly damaged, in some random mass effect field traveling away from the most important fight in the galaxy, when we need them most?

Continuity errors. I guess if they are fixing ones in the novels, they'll fix these too.

Coffee? Pfft. Passes around Red bull, Mountain dew pixi stix and lots of Jerky. Im here for the LONG haul!

Do you think we can keep this up? I mean...Not being pessamistic here but I can't see this keeping up momentum for more than three weeks.


Helmand troops lasted weeks running on fumes and half-empty rifles against a seemingly endless amount of enemy forces. If they can last all that, we can outlast a suicidal company in a game of mental and psychological attrition. We hold this line, or we never see the light of good video games again.

If Bioware gets away with this, it will open the floodgates for all companies to make dodgy or half-finished games, who will be assured by our loss here that they too can get away with it. If we lose, then the gaming franchise will change for the worst. When we started this, we knew the risks, the more we let up, the bleaker the future of video games will be. Do not let that happen, ladies and gentlemen, because we placed our bets against the house, now it's time to prove the house doesn't always win. Whether you like it or not, you've signed yourself up for the long haul, and now is the time we need you to stand the firmest. By showing Bioware up and winning, we show the world that they can't get away with things like this. I refuse to allow the future of gaming, for both us and our children, because we weren't strong-willed enough to hold to our word. Bioware can try to strike us down, but if we show persistence and resistance, we will win, of that I assure you.

All of you, good job for holding the line this far, reinforcements from the east will be arriving soon, and then we will finish this. A global assault against them is too much for them to come out unscathed from. They either fold, and be remembered and keep their reputation, or they can bust. We don't want them to bust. We're dealing with a suicidal company, and it's up to us to try and pull them away from the edge now, before everything we have fought for withers away.

Ladies and Gentlemen, bunker down and hold the line, we still have a chance to save Mass Effect, Bioware, and even the future of the entire gaming industry It's only a matter of time, they can't hold out forever, we however, have that advantage.

Grover and out.


I'm afraid those gates were stolen by Ubisoft two years ago, sorry.  Bioware was kinda the light in the dark wilderness, an uncompromising standard of excellence that didn't cut corners, til now :P


You mean not since DA2, the constant reuse of the same environments was the very definition of cutting corners.

They think the rude twitter comment about those hating the ending being spoiled bleeps was written by the masseffect twitter account.

Guys, it wasn't. I know most of you know this, but the two who posted before for some reason do not.

The masseffect twitter account is the one that responded with "I like your avatar".

I can't believe I forgot about them fixing the novels...  WOW... Thank you sir.

Their entire argument about narrative changing is pretty much void now!

Wow, uhm. So I can't really read all the 1520 pages and since I haven't finished the game until just now, I've never read this thread in the past. So I have a few questions.

a) So there's a petition for new endings? A regular donation like kind of petition? So that Bioware will make a new ending? I don't get it.

B) Are all the endings so awful? (I blasted the synthetic life)


a) There is a petition going on. Check my sig..
   The donation if for Child's Play and we are doing a fund raiser to help children. The donations have nothing to do with the petition and is not to be used as blackmail to demand anything from Bioware.
   We do not know as yet if Bioware will make a new endings.

B) YES THEY WERE!!!

I'll try and find the articles.  Basically there were canon errors and stuff (sound familiar?) and they said they'd fix them in the next printing.

A)The charity donation thing has two reasons, one paragon, one a bit more renegade.  The paragon side of it is that, regardless if Bioware does nothing, we've amassed a ton of money for an awesome charity that puts games into the hands of terminally ill kids (which is a big thing if you've ever been bored for days in the hospital, imagine weeks for chemo/rad treatments).

Renegade side is that, yes, it does bring a lot of media attention to our cause, which brings more people, and thereby applies more pressure to Bioware to provide us with an ending that meets their USUAL standards of excellence.

B) Yes.  Yes they are... welcome to the line, please requisition a weapon and report to Admiral Hackett for briefing. *salutes*


I can't find Hackett. A few days ago I pointed him towards the magical scar reducing machine and haven't seen him since :(

Yah know, everyone keeps talking about Fallout 3 setting a precedence for companies changing their game, but CCP was forced to change EVE Online after the Incarna debacle. I know its not the same but it's another ray of hope, right?

It doesn't matter who owns these gates. This is our chance to kill the knot-weed before it spreads. If we fail to stop this, I can assure you more companies will fall into this line of business. I don't want that, you don't want that. No-one wants that. Bioware are gutting themselves in this "plan" of theirs. What will happen is that either:
  • Rival companies will reach out to the upset players and take advantage of our vulnerability to improve their own numbers. Ultimately, this will end up killing Bioware
  • Rival companies will follow suit, spending less on their own products because they are sure that they can get away with it. Bioware will still be tarnished by it's reputation as one of the first franchises to turn shoddy.
Both options will end up with the future of the gaming franchise a lot less bright than it could be. If we want this to conclude itself happily, we have to stop Bioware, even if they don't know they are doing it, they're going to kill the gaming market and likely themselves (industrially speaking)  in the process.

I'm starting to think "space magic" is code for a middle finger. The next DLC will also reveal that it was all just a dream.

Let me say that I finished this game not long ago and dealing with real life issues kept me from posting my thoughts here until now. Also, to be honest, I'm more of a lurking but I have to say my peace. I remained completely spoiler free when I finished it which I was grateful because I would have been dreading the approaching end. Like everyone else here, I enjoyed everything right up until I hit that last 10 minute mark. I was shocked and my first thoughts were, "That was very, very depressing." Then I tried my other choices and image my confusion that they were almost exactly the same. Did I screwed up somewhere and missed something?

It was midnight when this happened and I immediately went to this site for answers and found that I wasn't alone in my confusion and sadness in how Mass Effect 3 ended and I stayed up for two hours reading over everyone's comments and drawing strength from them. This game had all the markings to being one of the greatest of all time. Before that, my only complaint and suggestion would have been to delay ME3's release for a few more months just to polish it some more, correcting all the glitches.

The rumors of a possible new DLC ending fills me with cautious hope. I even starting another play through with another Shepard but I won't launch the attack to retake Earth until I have that DLC downloaded and on my hard drive. For the life of me, I can't believe that Bioware would release a game with that sort of ending. Nothing makes sense but I do know this is a mess they have to correct, if they wish to keep their consumers happy and from walking away for good.

I also heard that ugly word, entitlement being thrown around against us. Well, all I have to say to is that unhappy consumers do have entitlements and the first one is the right to take their hard earned money somewhere else if they feel wronged. I can forgive Bioware if they can simply fix their error, if not then ME3 will be the last game I will be buying from them. This is not anger speaking just sad disappointment.

Hold the line.
