I see, thanks Bare and Hezz

Another quick question, if and indeed when (touch wood) we get the ending we so badly crave, will this be the first time in gaming history when the fans have influenced such a big change in a game after release?

Not precisely, Bethesda changed the ending to Fallout 3 with a DLC.


Ahh, i never really got into fallout too much, surely the backlash wasn't as bad as it is now for ME?

Yeah believe me I know how you feel. I've had to scream to the world to get my anger out and boy did they think I was weird! Just kidding, but I have been ranting to my family and such and this fourm has been loads of help with getting over my grief of losing Garrus and not retiring to a tropical place with him and a couple of orphans and the rest of my crew. Hopefully with this war were in we can achieve our goals and Bioware will listen to their loveing customers. I know I wont be leaving the line anytime soon till they do!


I agree with you... *sigh* I just wish I could do something more than just sit here and wait for them to make an official statement... which could be who knows when.... :crying: I hope they hurry up and say something soon, otherwise there will be no joy in my life for a long time... even if they do release a DA3... I won't buy it, unless they give me my sappy ending, I want my sappy ending damn it! :pinched:

It also pretty skillfully uses loaded terms -- words and phrases whose semantic content includes quite negative connotations:

"Passionate," for example, is often a Human Resources euphemism for "difficult" or "argumentative" that's used as a code word in official employee reviews. As a manager, I've been instructed to use it on many occasions.

Also, note that the outcry about the ending is presented as a list of emotional responses that "fans needed" as opposed to being objective feedback from dissatisfied consumers. This storngly communicates immaturity, neediness and entitlement. If you think that's a stretch, look back a couple of sentences and note that those who gave positive, glowing feedback are referred to not as "fans" but as "players" who provided "profound words of appreciation."

Finally, they close by saying that comments from these needy, passionate fans "are equally valid," which creates a "we're so magnanimous that we even care for the emotionally needy" subtext intended to increase the reader's sympathy towards the company and underline the already negative portrait of unhappy customers.

Let's be civil but never forget the nature of the conflict or the weapons in BioWare's arsenal.



:lol:

Ok, you just officially made it to my class tomorrow. It's supposed to be translations class, but we are atm discussing style guides, registries and variations, so this is a wonderful example on those, as well as more general translation issues, such as knowing the background of the source text.  If one was to translate the ST that is.

Also, at least one other person in our group plays ME3, or should I say, playED ME3, so this will be well received.

I imagine Shepard saying "okay that one is the Revenant. That's what I used in Tuchanka where I pumped 400 bullets on a single brute. And this one here is the Cain. This is what I used when I was in panic mode against a Banshee."

The future that could've been :crying: Lost. All lost.

How big was that one? Do you know? I wasn't on any forums at the time... so I never really heard much about it....

The backlash was not too major because the fans had a good argument in the form of one of the characters, the player had the choice to sacrifice him/herself to the radiation, but one of the squad members was immuned to the radiation, if you had him with you the sacrifice made no sense.

I really can't understand why such a big company liek EA does not learn from its past mistakes. The coorperation between them and some of the best former creative and innovative gaming studios ended in huge debacles: Origin Studios (what a shame that the Ultima series is deader than dead), Westwood Studios, Bullfrog Productions....
I just don't want BioWare to be the next studio which gets totally ruined!


Agreed, i can tell from experience EA destroyed Westwood by giving limited funds and time to make a game. So Westwood fanished from the earths survace and EA made games like C&C4 wich was a compleet insult to the series (full 100% unlike ME3).

I hope EA will let Bioware exist and bring us amazing games (that have a good/not rushed ending).


It seem just to be in the human (greedy) nature that we don't learn from our pasr mistakes... sad so sad...

Hello there :) I follow this thread quite a while and even so, I'm not sure, if all we do, will change something about these endings, it feels good to know, that I'm not alone with my feelings.

As often as my time let me do it, I say my opinion about the endings in a polite and civil manner in the forums here.

I love the game, I love the characters and with the option of more different kind of endings, it would have been a perfect game for me...*sighs*.... but now I don't even feel motivated to buy any future DLC's etc...My motivation to play the game again and again is gone. And I played the previous games plenty of times with several different Shepards...

@ xHezz90 thanks for the nice Kaidan tag :)

Hold the line!

So does mine! Hell I'm thinking about writing a Fanfic for my Shep... starting with early Military, then maybe a few bits from a "ships log" from ME1, some more stuff from ME2, like LotSB kind of time wise, some words from the time just before Shep turns herself into the Alliance, then another "Ships Log" for ME3, and change the ending so that my Shep gets to settle down somewhere, and have a rather unique family, with adopted children from every race, and a Geth butler(just for the hell of it)...

I think the problem is that they lost sight of the fact that it was a story for other people to enjoy. They decided the story would end in a certain way, regardless of how others might feel about it.

We are all different. We all wanted different things from the story. That's why it was interactive, to give us the choices we wanted.

Unfortunately they blinkered themselves and forgot that at the end.
