Aww. Sorry I wasn't trying to make you feel bad. I'm doing the same thing. Here's something to cheer you up >_<  

Hands up who, while watching that, moved their mouse to try to get the cursor off the screen?


Or was it just me?

I HATED THE WORLD WITH THE INCREDIBLY STEEP, ROCKY CLIFFS WITH A PASSION.... I swear i needed a few paracetamols to calm myself down after that uncharted world, cliff climbing, BS

Really? I had hours of fun trying to get my Mako up a 1000% gradient, zigzagging etc. Then blasting off and seeng the damage from the impact. I never managed to actually blow my mako up with fall damage but I got quite close....

...yeah, I think I just described a majority of my evenings. 

hahaha Yeah I loved the Mako missions, I just wanted them to get bigger in ME2... instead they got rid of them, and eventually gave me a flying Mako.. so I was satisfied because it had a good ending... I loved the ME2 ending... you can see where this is going

You made me laugh like a crazy here...

I would post another meme here, but I think that would be considered bashing/offensive to Mr Hudson, so...

So I fired up a new ME1 game today. In the past, doing that has always brought me great joy, but today, it was different. After Eden Prime, I was asking myself: "What's the point?" Sure, in like 120 hours I will have completed 3 of the best games I have ever played and been a part of a great universe with outstanding characters, dialogue, development, storyline and gameplay. There would be moments where I cry and moments where I laugh. Moments where I feel sorry for people who aren't into video games and what they have to offer. But the same sentence keeped popping up: "What's the point?"
And really, what is the point of playing 120 hours when all I get is space magic, incoherrent writing and a ton of questions? Mass Effect 3 was, up until the end, the greatest game I have ever played. It blew the first two chapters out of the park, which is by no means an easy thing to do. It just saddens me to have my favorite franchise of all time ruined like this.
Regarding the movement, which I am proud to be a part of, I want to congratulate each and every one of you for being mature, coherent and constructive in your posts. It really is the best way to get the message out. Having only been part of this community for less than a week, I actually feel proud of what we have accomplished so far. It goes to show how much of a difference people can make if they stand together. I love the fact that we have raised money for less fortunate beings, which is great both from a PR point of view and simply because it helps people.

I am not ruling out the Indoctrination Theory being Bioware's plan all along just yet, but as more days pass, the more hope am I losing. That is why we need to keep up what we're doing and HOLD THE LINE.

Sorry for the wall of text. I just needed to get some thoughts out.

Hey guys;

Back on the line after basically a full-day absence. What's the word?

Ok , so the Mass Effect's twitter account ignore me all of the time , and i'm civil , their new tactic , ignore some bad feedbacks for saying after "the fans who hate the ending are a minority" , .

Hold the line!.

They've been marginalizing us all along. Casey Hudson described us as only the "most passionate fans."

Now correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the most passionate fans the people who buy the dlc, merchandise, and support a company by buying their other games. Didn't think that through did he.

Semi-educated guesses;

1; They could be waiting for the official sales figures for the second week to come out. The UK figures released today show a 75% drop in sales for ME3, they may well be waiting for the offical figures for other countries before deciding if they need to act.

2; They might be waiting for a more opportune moment before doing or saying anything that might affect EA's stock price with investors.

3; They could just still be crunching the numbers, to try and work out a way to sort the problem out. Do remember that it is only 2 weeks since the games release in the US, and the call for a change to the games ending has moved at such a rapid pace their PR department has clearly been taken off-guard to the point that they appear to be having trouble dealing with the situation - each time they have tried it has backfired...often in less than an hour.

4; They almost certainly are hoping that we will all lose interest and forget about the whole thing. So not commiting themselves at this point is probably understandable. 

5; Do expect attempts to paint us in a bad light through attempts to flame us, or by people claiming to be part of the call for a change - we already had that on the BBC comments section when someone basically accused us of being terrorists. Also expect attempts to distract us with 'freebies'. They did this with DA2 by offering ME2 for free, here I wouldn't be too surprised to find them offering DA2 or some of its DLC to registered ME3 owners.

If anyone's the terrorist it's Bioware.. I haven't slept well in a week since I finished that ending  *snickers*

Not to mention just before the end of ME3 you tell TIM he cant controll the reapers.. That leaves only destroy as an option Shepard hasnt already rejected, but that comes with a pinch of genocide:blink:

This is actually what a lot of us are hoping for.

They are indications that the choices presented to you at the end are false, Godboi is full of horse hooey, the bit about "and you kill all the Geth and die" is a flat-out lie, and you're meant to reject all this nonsense and do what you came here to do: destroy the Reapers and have a kick-ass fleet at your back while you do it.

IF that's the case, "destroy the mass relays" is still ridiculous, and hopefully just part of the nightmare.

I've ranted enough about how much metagaming is needed to come to this conclusion, so <shakefist>.

Its certainly a bad dream alright, now its just depends if Bioware will let us wake up:crying:

I am beginning to wonder, also, why Bioware is being so secretive when it comes to explaining the existing ending. I mean...it's there, most of their player base has seen it...why is an official explanation a big deal?

Good question, especially since an explanation might appease quite a few people.

You forgot to mention that they may be totally clueless and have no idea what they are supposed to do and how to react to this movement.

Good point about the freebies. I don't know about you guys, but I already own it DA2, and honestly,  I have no interest in the DLCs...

They seem to be ignoring supportive criticism as well. That just screams of them sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling, "I'm not listening!"

Methinks so.

Can't help myself but post this;
For all the people saying games are art and therefor shouldn't be changed...you need to study art history. Whenever art was created for a "consumer", if the "consumer" didn't like it, it was changed. This sort of thing goes all the way back to the early ages of civilisation. Saying games are art pretty much works in our favor.

Oh, SSV New England is rejoining the Line.

 um just noticed that the ME3 twitter reacted in a whole different way to a twitterer using profanity now than the one who called us who don't like the endings fu***** c****. Thank you ME3 tweet-folks for treating everyone in the same way -__-; 


Sure the first guy didn't verbally attack their company but they should've reprimanded him too :/

Welcome back to the line Commander.  Uh rEApers have been giving us some trouble over on Hill 322.. Twitter Batallion seems to be covering it though.  Fairly quiet here.. I think they realized BSN Batallion's not the one to mess with and they're trying other avenues.

I wasn't aware of that. All I've been aware of is the very apparent attempts to marginalize us through their twitter feeds. I've been biting at their ankles for an hour and a half and still they won't respond to me.

So I just completed the game with the "Destroy" ending and I can't help but agree with most of you on that the ending was...well, meh. The game was amazing but the ending didn't feel right...
Also since ME1 I'd been dreaming of an ending where my Femshep spends the rest of her life with Liara but oh well

Another article that discusses the ending fiasco. He has some less than kind words for Bioware and Mr. Hudson

It seems like he just hated ME3 in general instead of the ending.<_<

I would have liked more driving missions. I had great fun in ME1 playing "jump over the acid ball" with thresher maws. I had the same thing in ME2 with the Hammerhead and Turrets in ME2, defining an infinity symbol in front of them and watching their bullet strem never managing to catch up with me.

There was a marked absence of any driving whatsoever actually. I missed that. Hell, when we were chasing Kai Leng I was sure there was going to be another Fifth Element Taxi Chase a la Lair of the Shadow Broker, but NOOOOO. Once more we have control plucked from our hands in favour of, I don't know, a new mercedes for the CEO?
