WE HAVE NOT WON ANYTHING YET!

There has been no confirmation of anything, IGN story should be taken with a pinch of salt until we hear something from Bioware, please do not set yourselves up for disappointment!


This.

I'm pretty much taking everything with a pinch of salt at the moment.

Hold the line people!

The fact that one of the Co-Founders of BioWare is the one issuing a statement is a huge sign we are getting somewhere. Don't lose faith, we can do this!


Seems more like we lost to me. :(

 

Bullsheet. This is an admittance that they cant just ignore us. They are working on something by which we will get more info in April. Whether thats awesome or dissapointing we shall see. Keep the faith.

You know. It occurs to me that I've probably spent more time on this forum than I did playing the game.

That is not a good thing.


same here...:unsure:


I believe that everyone who finished the game a week ago has spent more time in this forum than actually playing the game.


Anyway, +1 here too. Damn you Bioware..

We didn't lose. We caused a reaction. This is a first step. We have to hold the line.


But it's the wrong reaction... they're just going to make some crappy explanation to the awful endings we have and then leave it be. Otherwise they wouldn't release a statement like this, right? I just don't see how we could possibly get what we want now... :?

Are you implying that making IGN's most publicly known employee a charcter in a game that IGN is supposed to review and discuss with some modicum of neutrality might be a conflict of interest?:D

Posted this in the motivational poetry thread, but I think it belongs here. 

From Shepard V:

He that outlives this press release, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named.
And rouse him at the name of Shepard.
He that shall live this day, and see the stargazer,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his Allies,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Shepard.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Shepard's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Admiral Cheez, KotorEffect3, IssacShepard,
Rigaudio and Wentletrap, Polite Assassin-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good stargazer teach his son;
And Ray Myzuka’s press release shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And Krogan, Asari and Human now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their quads cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Shepard's day.
 
Hold the Line.

Well, yeah, I'm sure they're working on something. And that something is probably an awful explanation to the current endings so that they can say they listened to us. I just don't see how we could possibily get what we want now...

Actually he says a lot.
He says that they still have no plans on changing the ending, but that they will add to the existing ending content to provide more explanations and closure.
Said in corporate double-speak of course.


That sounds to me like a cut-scene in some DLC. Maybe an old man talking to a child again?

I swear if they did that, especially if the child asks "I don't understand what happened.." and the old man patiently explains it to him like he's a dolt....

I'd rather they just said  :wizard:



Especially, explaining a bad ending doesn't make it better. Not for me at least.

With this said, I think I'll stop holding the line. Bioware has made it pretty clear, they'll not change the ending, but rather try to give us DLC that will make the ending we got more plausible. So maybe they'll send us on some random mission where Shep discovers some artifact that will tell you more about the Godchild and the motivation of the reapers. I'm SURE this will make everyone really understand just WHY the reapers kill all organics in order to prevent them from being killed by some other synthetics...

"We’re working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we’ve received."

There is no artistic integrity with this ending... This was the last Bioware/EA game I'll ever buy!

I'm out!

Listen to mr. Connery   folks... we have nothing yet but a statement that is empty and hollow until backed up by action... 

So  continue to hold the line...  April is around the corner... and well  see that what happens.

Not happy about @BioWare saying they'll make @MassEffect changes. But maybe it'll be expansion of the end and not a change, We'll see.
‏@masseffect @geekgirldiva It will be designed to provide closure and clarity!

I dont like this... They better rethink that.

Dead lord... It has been on no less then 5 other gaming sites, a couple of which are pro retake so please relax.  You guys are really starting to react in a negative light.  Many of you are essentially trolling ray's statement.  Stop it.

Did it spell out everything for you?  No.  Is it PR.  Yes but dear god EVERYTHING is PR at this point.

I'll repost here what I wrote in another thread - Hold up people - I follow politics very closely and I do know from politics when one of the very top officials makes a statement in the form of a strong hint that the pressure has reached the very top of the food chain - then we can all rest assured the ending saga has also reached the top of the BW food chain as well. There is very active discussions going on behind the scenes about the ending problem - and as in politics the top usually acknowledges their problem in the form of hints. Mild blaming is the usual course of action as BW themselves did in this statement.

What is extremely important - is to acknowledge they have a problem which the BW statement clearly acknowledged - now BW is in active talks how to resolve the problem given their written end, and then how to move beyond that point and continue the Sheppard saga with another game to bring full closure to this series. If you read what they're planning from their hints this is where BW is now concentrating their thinking. It's very clearly demonstrated for the rest of his statements they see a full game yet to be delivered.

Damn it, Soldier! Don't give up! That is EXACTLY what that statement was meant to make you do! I am SICK of people turning tail and running at the first sign of trouble!
HOLD THE DAMN LINE!

Even when they flat out refuse to do anything about the ending, we MUST hold firm.

Hold the line! We can do this!

Edit: I give up, my iPhone won't cooperate on quote formatting today. Suffice it to say, I wanted to follow up my previous comment with the following:

That would be like complaining, when a friend gave you a quarter, that you don't like quarters/would prefer one from a different year. No, the real problem is that they promised you a dollar and only gave you a quarter.

@ DJBare:

I see... Damn I thought that they would at least run it by the company before putting out an article like that. When someone says: "New Endings Coming Up" I assume there's more than "loose" interpretation of an open-ended statement.

<_< Why run a story without a true source and a fact check? Isn't that journalism 101?
