Page number... You've changed nothing... They'll find another way.
No, seriously, right now all we can post here are some random thoughts to keep this bumped.
If they don't make a statement soon...
There won't be Bioware left to save.

I'm feeling pretty meh at the moment. I think it's a side effect from being called "whiny", "entitled" and "spoiled" by people who don't even know me. I'll be taking a short break to gather my strength so I can see this through to the end.

Signing off (not permanently) and until then--

--hold the line.

 I think, on this year´s GameCon in Cologne, I will go with a N7-Hoodie... directly to the Bioware booth, and if somebody (preferably from BW-staff) asks me how I liked the game, I doff the hoodie wordless, just to show some RetakeMassEffect-related T Shirt 
:D 

Wow... 2.000 pages reached... that´s 50.000... in words: fifty thousand replies
(sorry, couldn´t resist)



50.000 words is the border between a short story and a novel.


No 50 thousand words is the length of a story. A novel is 100k to 300k words on average.

the endings were too poor to accept defeat!


You're right; but I meant to say that I'm 'burnt out' with respect to articulating reasons as to why the ending is just poor, why we have been cheated, and so forth.

I don't think there's anything new to be said; but what has already been said has to be disseminated to new people, that's for sure.

me too, it's tiring to rehash, but if we stop, they win....have you posted in the 'endings suggestion thread'

it did me some good to throw some ideas out...

Got BBC Radio 1 on, nothing on this yet. I will update if they say anything. I'm guessing that it won't make the radio news for a few more days.

Oh man im tired of those ppl who i need to justify myself to of being passionate about a video game. It reminds me of the time 10 years ago where you coudnt tell anyone that you like gaming or surfing in the internet / or the pc. You were called nerd and i dont know what.. Today everyone uses facebook and twitter and surfes on the internet all day long with his iphone/pad/dontknowwhat. And still are there people who cant watch over their own plate. As if those people wouldnt be angry about something they are passionate about and it got ruined.


Yea its really annoying isnt it? comments like "omg its just a game, get over it" or "well dont play it then" or "don't you have anything better to do than write on those forums?"
I believe its up to me how i want to spent my time but apparenlty its not ok to ask for something you payed for, instead you should be wasting your time posting some useless stuff on facebook like so many other people our age do, right....
Not like i'm going to people who are passionate about american football and tell them "omg its just a game, get over it"

Page numbers change nothing, the fight goes on and there is still a long way to go. Keep it civil, keep it constructive, keep it going.

We must not fail.


Honestly, I wish the thread had been 10 pages long and on page 10 was a post from Casey Hudson about how the ending in ME3 was a big troll and the real ending would be up as Free DLC by the end of the week. :(

We already have a PAX East Platoon going, I think ArmyKnifeX is organizing it, but from what I heard we are going for the more calm option of just asking our questions.

Hopefully if the story "develops", but there is not a lot more to say until Bioware make a statement

No 50 thousand words is the length of a story. A novel is 100k to 300k words on average.


Actually anything over 40k words is a novel. NaNoWriMo requires them to be at least 50k words.

That's exactly the sort of post we need now, for newcomers.

May I suggest that you include some of the links in my sig.? (the ones that aren't already there?)

I find it amazing that they're avoiding the use of 'disgruntled customers' complaning about 'product quality', instead 'gamers' complaning about 'video games' just to make people think that gamers are overlooking real world issues and worrying about 'games'.


Exactly right. I feel very strongly that we need to stop characterizing it that way ourselves. We aren't "fans" or "gamers" - we're "customers" and "consumers." Can we start using those terms? Words matter.
