I may get
yelled at for this but is anyone else kinda curious to see what would happen if the FTC decides to get involved? I mean it could change the entire entertainment industry forever in ways never imagined.

Yeah the FTC thing seems rather extreme. But, to be honest, this whole situation makes me a little uncomfortable. I'm definitely standing with you guys, voting in every poll, donating to Child's Play, adding constructive feedback and all that because I feel really strongly about the endings.

But at the same time, BioWare has been my all-time favorite game company for years. I didn't think twice about taking vacation time to play ME3. They were the one game company whose products I would buy based on their name alone, no reviews needed.

I remember after I finished KOTOR2 with its original, abrupt ending, all I could think was.. "WTF?" Swiftly followed by "BioWare would never have done something like that."

And now here I am.

I really hope Bioware/EA can take a step back and understand how much those endings failed to resonate with a significant part of their player base. But at the same time, I hope we aren't encouraging irreparable damage to their reputation, you know?

I mean, if the best case scenario happens, and they deliver DLC that magically meets everyone's hopes and dreams, would there be as many people here passionately writing requests to various press outlets to feature
BioWare in a positive way, as a company who takes fan critiques to heart? Or would everyone just say 'about time!' and fade off, leaving the bad metacritic scores and polls for late comers to find?

Anyway sorry to ramble. Still holding the line! I just hope it is worth it in the end - for both sides. (*edited due to crazy formatting*)


Side note, BW didn't make KoToR 2. Credit where credit is due and all that lol. I hope BW fixes this I really do. I hate having to tell people to stay away from BW right now.

nope "indoctrination" begins in 1968 - 1989 in "Czech fleet"


True enough, but you Czech guys have always had a good habit of doing things your own way. And Czeska Zbrojovka makes some fine peices...


yeah but i think our american friends hate us for that - semtex, skorpion etc


Doing things your own way is what makes you stand out, whether other Americans like it or not. When Jan Hus died it wasn't in vain. He had an entire nation standing beside him that fought for what it believed in spite of overwhelming odds.

I personally think if Bioware actually answers this community with a set in stone promise to give us an ending the community was promised. We will do our very best to undo all the damage to reviews we have done. Right now we are holding out for some actual communication.

All everyone seems to be talking about now is HOLD tight and vague references that can be spun either way. I don't want a political statement, I want an honest and straight forward one.

I've already posted this in the thread that was recently started about Amazon accepting returns on Mass Effect 3, but I believe it is worthwhile to post here as well.

As upset as I am with the endings, we shouldn't make this a part of the movement to change the endings. If you want to return your game, so be it, but I feel I got my money's worth out of the game, which is also why I'm not totally opposed to paying for a new ending piece of DLC. I can understand swearing off BioWare products in the future, but this? This, if anything, is the entitlement that all the gaming sites are proclaiming us to be exhibiting. If anyone does decide to turn in their games, I would ask you to kindly leave The Line as your opinion will hold for very little over a game that you no longer own.

I am trying to appeal to BioWare's good nature and respect of their fans. If we all up and sold our games right now, that would mean that 100% of the games would be in the hands of people who liked the endings (not that there's anything wrong with that) and BioWare would have nothing to gain from changing the endings, this whole messy situation would be over for them and they could carry on business as usual. If we want our voices to be heard and respected, I would highly recommend that people truly behind this cause hold on to their games.

Oh how excited I once was :( This was my preview to ME3:

"This game looks absolutely amazing, the graphics have been improved slightly, and it looks like they have taken the best aspects from Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 making an epic finale to an awesome trilogy. I can't wait for this game and have had it pre-ordered since July last year, and I am starting to get so excited. The game is definitely going to be brilliant."

Haha nah you gotta understand, we Americans have a gun culture and love our firearms, especially hicks like me. :P I have a shooting buddy who runs a CZ Shadow for competition. Its just a souped up competition CZ 75 pistol. Aaaand I'm off topic, sorry. Hold the line and all that!

More life-like translation would be "Ni shagu nazad". Yeah, that's pretty much 227 for us.

No pasaran!

KotOR 2 (Obsidian) could have been greater than the first game; it was butchered by LucasArts.

It was remarkably well-written, and performed, and although all 'assets' were ready (and indeed, shipped on the disc), they were pushed into release----so they wrapped the thing up as best as they could, cutting off an entire planet, entire scenes, and, much of the ending.

Hey hey.  It still WAS amazing.  Yes, the endings took a punch out of the whole thing, but aside from that...I was considerably happy with it.

The sad thing is that I can honestly say the grieving process can apply to a lot of people...lol the anger, the denial, the appeal...the acceptance...

But, in the end....it was a great series.  If nothing changes with the endings, remember the fun you *did* have with it.

If nothing changes, you deserve that much, at least.

I understand you. I myself wrote that ME3 was my best "first impression" of the franchise. ME1 was a little hard for me to wrap my haed around, the first time I played. I think it started slowly, and was very different from the RPGs BW had produced so far. I came to love it, but was not a great first impression. 

And so was with ME2. My first impression wasn't good. Everything had changed, and I didn't like the prospect of a sequel that had totally different mechanics. But also came to love it. I realized most changes were good ones.

But I loved ME3 right from the start. There were some differences that I didn't like, but it was, by far, my best first impression in the franchise.

But the last impression... boy, how bad was it...

Yeah I'm not denying the game was amazing up to the last 10 mins but it's still sad to see how excited and hopeful I was and how much I did enjoy it until it was all destroyed in 10 minutes it makes me sick :sick:

SSV Atrocity making a quick stop before continuing to uni.

Nothing ground breaking happened I take it? Read the yahoo article posted on FB-group (and sighed, but any coverage is good, right), anything new, more drastic out there?
