Somehow it is like i'm reliving the games =D
There is our great enemy EA/Bioware and we must collect all people all over the world to stop the "evil" doing to get the endings they promised. Sounds like a suicide mission ;)
And then we thought we were alone, we got support from the most unexpected people(media) , collected our "war assets" and we are now on our way to rescue earth( mass effect series).

I hope we get the ending we deserve. oO


Without Cytadel Child and/or Space Magic :mellow:

You were indoctrinated in the ending, right at the point where you thought you died from the laser beam.

Destroying the Reapers (the red option) was the only correct option.

Bioware is incredibly clever for doing this.

The ending was definitely beyond my comprehension..... Or i just wanted it to be to save the anger and frustration surrounding it.

After reading quite a few comments on Finnish websites (mostly news about the fan reaction), I'm also glad to report most of the players share our feelings (and probably most of them lurk here as well). Must say, If I were one of the developers who worked on "the ending(s)", after those comments I'd curl up and cry, since the comments were as artistic as they were vulgar.  

It seems Finnish gamers are not a forgiving bunch :whistle:

Does anyone btw have the link for the RetakeME3 banners? If there's a general fleet Europe etc, I'd like it.


Here you are!

If the DLC turns out to be true that is. If not, then not vey clever at all Bioware.

 If people are, like me, desiring to go into major game forums and discuss our side of the movement, The Escapist has a few discussions going on and from what I've read, a lot of it is misinformed griefing.

From the MSNBC article: www.ingame.msnbc.msn.com/technology/ingame/some-mass-effect-3-players-demand-happier-ending-411424

Sometimes, a story has to end in a particular way, even if it's not
what everyone wants. But the notion to have a brand new ending, one that
consensus, not the creator dictates, is an intriguing one. Shouldn't
the dedicated player be ultimately allowed to end the journey as they
feel fit?
After all, the creator of the game supplies the
actors and sets the stage, but it is the player who says action and
makes everything come alive. No other form of media allows for such a
degree of participation and freedom from the audience, so why should it
not be explored to the fullest extent?

Good way to put it. Seems we are getting some support even tho they had some misses in there. :)

So I wonder how good a Monday its going to be at the Bioware Offices after the stories on, all 3 three of the major cable news outlets. Fox, MSNBC and CNN...


They are meeting now I can almost promise you  - Its one thing when Forbes keeps doing pieces on you - you can still deflect with other sites.......

Major news are now catching this story - there isn't a weekend for them - EA pulled them back and telling what can we do; and fix this now.......

 

You sir , are correct  I would not be supposed if phone calls went out the moment the news reports aired... Lets keep the pressure. up

Has anyone tried emailing our side to non-gaming publications? Maybe they'd find it advantageous as they won't have to quote any other publication (just a thought). We have an official Retake movement twitter account so maybe contact those writers via twitter?

The indoctrination theory is just wishful thinking. It has so many plot holes it is not funny.

Guys, I have an idea that I feel has some merit.  If you agree, could you spread it around a bit?

With the letter-writing campaign winding down, and the charity drive moving along actively, I feel like we've done a lot to get our views out there, but we can't afford to stop now.  I'd like to run an idea by you all. 

How would people feel about organizing a low-key video message to Bioware, from us, the Retake movement?  I know a lot of us have made promotional vids or response videos on our own, but I'm talking about a single message, a letter from us, spoken by us, on video - maybe each person presenting one or two lines apiece - as many of us as we can fit into a reasonably concise message.

I feel this would be a good way to send a really positive message.  We love Bioware, we love Mass Effect, and we want to continue doing both of those things, but we're standing firm in our desire for endings that live up to the high standards the series has set up to now.  We feel this way as a unified group, but also as the individual gamers who make up that group.

Thanks for reading.


I think the idea of each person saying one or two words is a good idea, if you had a long enough speech then you could get a lot of people invovled with that. And,possibly,the each person records not only their word but also a phrase along the lines of "an ending worthy of the journey", where you could have a collage of miniaturised videos all saying that at the same time. It would be tricky to organise and create (I know I couldn't, outside my skillset) but would be powerful. At least I think so.

The ending was like return of the Jedi except Han died leia died. Luke died and Darth Vader died .in fact in the end ewoks are left to start fires. If Lucas did that ending he would be out of business.

I find it amusing to look at all the tracks in order, they kind of sum up the game's progress. Especially the last two. It would be nice to think that the last two tracks (CE only) are actually indicative of something - we know that the first one definitely is :P


Lol, just caught that. Nice find. Image IPB

Well then they should run with that Theory and say: "Yes that all was some****ed up dream that occured, here is your ending, epilogue and aftermath"

Because if that isn't the case they created PLOT HOLES , LORE ERRORS and Character switches in the last 10 minutes.

This sort of outrage is exactly the same that would have occurred if JK Rowling decided to kill Harry Potter and let Voldemort win in book 7. -.-


That wouldn't be so bad if she would explain that, and Harry wouldn't die for nothing.

I don't know why but I like more ME1 and 2 soundtacks...
And did you guys notice that in the final battle is lack of some epic music like in the other ME games? I missed that. :?

Someone got The Sun in the UK to do a piece on it apparently.

Does this accurately sum up your feelings in the final 10 minutes of the game?

Funny that you say that, while the ending of ME3 ruined ME, Lucas knew to ruin the start of Star Wars with his prequel trilogy.
