I have a question for everybody here: How long have you guys been holding the line?
I enlisted 3/9 (when I finished the game)


Ninth of March, Friday.

It was 10:30pm my time when I finally finished the game.

I can remember how I sat and stared at the monitor in disbelief for a half hour, gradually feeling more and more hollow.


You know, I'd better go see a doctor; you know, just in case I'm a husk.

I think I started on 14th, just after I finished the game.


4/11 here, bout 30 minutes, give or take an hour after I completed the game.. honestly figured I'd missed some massive side quest and completely botched the ending at first lol.

Are you sure? Then there isn't much excuse. I thought it was a video, since during the leak it was uploaded to youtube, but things that weren't videos like gameplay and cutscenes couldn't be uploaded yet.

I think we got our wires crossed here, we are talking about the walk to the white beam correct? You have to control shepards movements and fire the pistol, that cannot be done with a prerendered scene.

If someone has modded the PC version of ME3 to make Marauder Shields the Shepard Model that would be one of the greatest accomplishments in gaming history

Back to the front lines, my friends. And brought some beer (or juice if you like) and snacks.

Any news?


We got a mention on CNN.

Registered my account 3/10 after beating the game 3/9. I think I started posting last Sunday evening (back when the thread was half this length.) Pretty sure hanging out in here is the only reason I'm still even remotely sane after that.

Indeed, any scene in which you can see the character you created is using the ingame real-time rendering engine.  Otherwise they'd have 80 discs with each variation of character rendered in video on it.

I've been, for the last hour, working on a youtube video (well, audio file that will have pictures relating to the movement displaying while it's going) that basically sums up the movements position, and my own personal observations.

Unfortunately, what talent I had for public speaking when I was younger seems to have departed me...that, and it's late, so I can't speak in my normal speaking voice (it isn't so much loud as that it carries extremely well). So, that project is on hold for now >.<


We should ask Morgan Freeman to do the narration.  Or offer to put up bail for George Clooney in exchange for it *snickers*

No worries though, my public speaking, although improved over my teen years, still sucks haha.


If you want someone for public speech, considerme. I am not a native speaker, but I am certainly not bad at it. Just in case you need help.

Lol I think we did too. I was talking about the breath scene. I still don't see why the armor couldn't be colored and burned.

I had been lurking for the onset of the thread before the game was even released. I couldn't believe that it was truly going to be as empty and bitter of an ending. But after going to the midnight release and beating the game in the early hours of the morning of the 7th, I knew that I needed to make my voice heard. I didn't play through multiple playthroughs of two amazing games for the third amazing game (and subsequently series) to be ruined in five minutes. Until we get answers or change, I will hold the line.

Will do, but it won't be until Monday at the earliest.

I'll hook it into my sig.


If worse comes to worst, I have no doubt we can find some talented speakers on the forum. We seem to have copious resources on our side, from military to ex-PR people, to artists and videographers.

I am sure most of us enlisted minutes or hours after beating the game. Once you saw the colorful explosions of a dying galaxy, you need some time to get yourself together and stop sobbing. When you no longer shake and weep you go straight to this forum and meet tens of thousands of people who feel the same. 6 days since i took a stand at the LINE.

What are you saying in it by chance? Btw I think a video that states our opinion that we can all point to and hold up is a great idea.


Well first, I go into how the FTC complaint is one person and not supported by the movement.  I mean, unless that's changed, that's the last thing I saw.

I then go into why we aren't being 'entitled' or 'spoiled', using an example non-gamers can understand, as well as how mature and civil everyone's being about this.  I also mention the charity, and bring up the fact that if every time a group of people became...uh...disatisfied with a product they made a petition attached to a charitable donation (rather than engaging in a flame war), charities as a whole would be better off.

I also make it clear that we haven't been bashing, harassing, or insulting Bioware staff.

I also point out the flaws in the 'it's art, so you can't change it' argument, and explain in this part generally how we were, if not lied to, then mislead by all the interviews and such leading up to the game

This ties into my 3rd point, about why we dislike the endings so much.  I explain the logic problems, the problem where every choice we made doesn't matter in the end, the character problems with this, and the cookie-cutter approach to the supposedly 16 different endings.

Then, as my final point, I talk about the so-called bad precedent that Bioware would be setting (listening to paying customers and loyal fans? How HORRIBLE! *gasp*), and then generally try to end it on a positive note.

Took me 30 hours; pretty much straight play; almost no sleep when it came out in the UK what the 7th......

So Hitman - I've been holding the line since the 9th......

I will continue to HOLD THE LINE.......until the bitter end
