CNN covered us.


Oh, nice!
I only had the transcript of it.

At least they mention us, and they don't bash us.
But they haven't done their homework.
If Bioware changes the endings, it won't be the first time that happens in videogame history.
But I am glad we are getting media attention.

Hold the line!


That is generally pretty amazing

Good Morning everyone.

Reporting in any news?


Nothing official.
We got briefly covered by CNN.

And we kept on holding the line.


Well it is sunday today. I don't think we should expect any news today.

Wow guys.

Over 1700 pages and over $62000?!?! I'm really proud to be a part of this and proud of everyone who has contributed in such a mature fashion. Keep up the banter and keep up the support for each other. BioWare ARE watching us, as are a lot of people and they are scared. They're scared because they know we're right So let's not let up until we do right by this great franchise.

Hold the line!

p.s Oh, any news in the last 12 hours or so?!?! :)


Nothing official, but we did get covered by CNN.

They completly failed to cover the whole story tho :pinched:

But this is atleast a major step for us ;)

Hold the line!


They mentioned that it was a majority of fans that were upsed with it, and not just a disgruntled fanatic minority, so yeah, a major step.

I actually started a 2nd playthrough of ME3 yesterday, but I couldn't force myself past palaven. I honestly can't face collecting those assets again, just to choose my favourite colour at the end.


You could always choose your least favourite colour? hehe I know how you feel I'm just so wow'ed some of you are able to pick up a controller, or load it up on the PC. I can't even play any other game at the moment, my motivation for gaming is just gone.

I've had to do some achievement  hunting (on Xbox) in other games just to get the sense that gaming is worth while. If this depression is the same as how everyone who completed ME3 is feeling then I know that we won't stop holding the line.

Just a reminder from my Brain of Certainty...

Bioware has already done the endings we want. They just planned to withold them until April to get us to pay for them AFTER we had bought the game thinking the endings would be in that.

Cynical marketing tactics that have backfired so spectacularly that they have no way out.


That's highly possible.

We hold grievances with the current ending and EA/BioWare because:

  • The game's ending fails to meet what we were promised as consumers.
  • The game's ending fails to meet our expectations as fans.
  • The response from BioWare needs to change.
  • We have jobs, families, responsibilities. We dedicate our time to this cause because we genuinely care about Mass Effect and its story.
  • We want to see a product that we, as human beings, as consumers, as fans, and as players can be proud of.

Guys, I'm browsing russian game forums now, and as I can see, many people are as just dissatisfied and angry as we are. I intend to link them to RetakeMassEffect. Could anyone please post all links to articles in media about us?


Oh my, is anyone keeping track of all the articles?
If not, we should do so.
Does anyone want to help me make a list?


Here you go.
(UniqueName001, you are an awesome human being ;))

Edit: Damn, looks like I got ninja'd :ph34r:

Thanks, posting everywhere in russian gaming space now!

Infiltrator of the Australian 185th New Melbourne Marines reporting in.

Great to see that Forbes is continuing to report on the struggle, and that even CNN has taken notice.

Couple of vids here that I thought might keep our spirits up.

guess they will not love minecraft :P


They did actually. It had a unique charm, or something. Mind you I don't play minecraft so i won't judge the game.

But their reviews for Mainstream games are usally  full of praise. Dragon Age 2 got 8.8/10. Only the smaller games get some kind of accurate review like the Harry Potter Games.

But I no longer buy Video Games based on reviews, but rather player opinions. That's actually how I got the ME Series in the fiirst place, but I digress

Replaying it right now so I can do every single quest and get 15 minutes before the ending. DLC will have to come surely that can give a decent ending and I want to be ready for it.

Hold the line.

Same here, even though the ending was so bad, I do enjoy the rest of the game. Actually, the ending was so bad that I just can't believe it actually happened, maybe that's what is helping me.

It's the only explanation that makes sense to me. I have no proof, of course, just a gut instinct. I don't know whether it is Bioware or EA that is responsible for this, but  if true whoever came up with the idea, and whoever gave it the go ahead, needs to be reassigned to coffee making duties (I'm being polite here).

The idea that you can charge full price for an incomplete game and then charge people more to complete it, is beyond reprehensible.

Same here, kinda glad I'm not the only one (or as we say in Italy "mal comune, mezzo gaudio").

Tried to play Gray Matter (still miss the Fast Play achievement) and even Deus Ex HR (need to finish the DLC), but nothing :/
