this is also PR (as is everything).....initially, before release, they over promised and under produced.....they are all now giving little bits to keep enthusiams there, but tempered and want to be able to say (at PAX) here's the big fix, it's exactly what you wanted...


Plus, if they decide to run with the indoctrination theory... they don't need to "alter" anything, just add "additional content" - if you know where I'm going :whistle:

correct, patch in another choice, have the option to shoot elroy the space boy in the head (either one wakes you up at shep breathe back in london)...somebody explains what happens to you and you finish out the fight conventionally....



That is true. It would even be cheap but would fit better than what we have right now. I just want an apology and an
acknowledgment that they did wrong or where rushed to finish the game. Than EA would be to blame.

*sigh*


I think most of us just wanted to add new ones, rather than removing the current ones. I mean, if you we get to pick, we will just not pick the ones they offer right now...:?

Current results of the poll in response to Dr. Muzyka's blog post:

I would be satisfied if Bioware took no action at all regarding the ending of Mass Effect 3: 0% (4 votes)

I would be satisfied if Bioware released additional content to explain the current ending (i.e. explain the fate of the galaxy/crew and explain away plotholes) without modifying the ending: 11% (91 votes)

I would be satisfied if Bioware removed the current ending and replaced it or if Bioware added additional content providing new endings entirely (i.e. Indoctrination Theory or other): 89% (755 votes)


...which is not at all unexpected.

In the daily news post, it was referred some of us were destructive and treating the execs badly.

I would like to remind everyone again to be kind and civil.

What sales?

Two weeks after release ME3 isn't in Amazons top ten list for the US, and is only 4th in the UK charts. In both cases Diablo III on PC is getting more sales.

Heck, in Japan ME3 isn't even in the top 25....

Where is EA and their economists at times like these? :whistle:


Keeping their heads down and praying like hell that their Origins software doesn't get caught in the crossfire. Or at least that is my guess.

Ok patrick thing is fake http://social.biowar...x/10399933&lf=8

I think everyone expected that, it sounded waaaaaaay to much like what I wanted to belive as a disappointed fan. Plus Patrick publicly blaming the end on those 2 and no one was able to take a screenshot before it was taken down? I was calling shenanigans pretty much from the start.


If you pay close attention it was posted in March (game already launched) and Mordin has no holo dialogue so it was kinda obvious.

It's really hard to not let myself lash out when people try to compartmentalize why the endings were bad.  Specifically when Ray Murzyka says things like this "It’s incredibly painful to receive feedback from our core fans that the game’s endings were not up to their expectations” .  As has been shown and linked many times, the interviews before the games release promised us this, this was not false speculation (no pun intended) or expectation based on 'our' (our own individual sheps) playthroughs.  This expectation is what they gave us.

Calm again.  Thanks for letting me vent Image IPB


I feel the need to vent sometimes too, your not alone. That's when i take a break from the forums and try to calm myself.
Hold the line.


A dozen "different" endings +, with 98% carbon copy scenematic isn't exactly a different ending lol

'Art' doesn't always have to be depressing. Plenty of us love a good happy ending. Fiction is a great way to escape reality and my favourite thing about Mass Effect before the ME3 ending was how pumped and uplifted i always felt playing as Shepard.


See, that's the thing - people have been disparaging happy endings throughout this entire debacle. Know what? I want a happy ending where Shep lives and reunites with his/her crew and LI in a galaxy where the mass relays still exist. And I don't think there's a thing wrong with wanting that.

It isn't silly. It isn't non-artistic. It isn't childish. And it's sure as heck not unintellectual.

In a game about choice this should of come across the board at some point.  Not everyone sees Sheaprd having to sacrifice his/ her life for the greater good. If it were one of many possibilities then they have the option to go back and do a "what if Shepard has this outcome playthrough"? I can't wrap my head around this " we only want happy endings" nonsense. NO we don't. We want to CHOICE to have one if we choose to. That's the beauty of the game: "how does this story end"?

Does Sheaprd make the ultimate sacrifice in order to stop the reapers and finally bring peace to the galaxy? 

Does Shepard live to see all he/ she has done, and return to earth knowing that while the losses are devastatingly huge there is still work to be done in the rebuilding of the galaxy?

Does he/ she get to see the pay off of the LI they fought for?

I could go on but the point is choice should always be a factor. What's the point of talking about endings with the same outcome? That's a short conversation. However if each end varies to a point where no two are exactly the same then we have the discussion of why this ending suits my Sheaprd and why I the player choose it.

In an ending regarding happiness it could mean a variety of things depending on who you ask. To me it means seeing the outcome of the choices you made, seeing that you were able to rally people/aliens who were once distrustful of one another or just hated each other outright, but are now brothers and fighting for their future.

It means Shepard getting to bury his dear friend Anderson who had his back since the beginning. To have that drink with Garrus. To help the the galactic rebuilding of the galaxy.  To see that even though we are different if we are willing to forgive and put aside our differences we can accomplish amazing things.

It's more uplifting than happy as it shows that the war is over, casualties are everywhere and we lost good friends, allies, and civilians trying just to survive this nightmare, but at the end of it all we get to live and build a better tomorrow/ future 

We exist not because the Repears allowed it but because we earned the right to. We have earned they right to go on living.

How I see it anyway.


Heck, I'd even appreciate one last convo wheel option, maybe Shep giving a speech broadcast over the extranet. Talking about the sacrificies everyone has made but that we survived as a civilization and highlight all the accomplishments made in the series or just ME3. Could be a dedication of a memorial or something...I could even live without the Citadel in the ME universe, just not the relays. It causes way too much of a plothole (although...if the Citadel is the control center I guess that'd be another plothole they'd have to get around.)

From now until the end of time making an abrupt ending (preferebly also really bad and cliche in itself) totally disjointed from the journey might be referred to as "Pulling a Mass Effect"


Brilliant!

Is not impossible. But is a huge undertaking like I've mentioned before.

There are two pieces that THEY HAVE to add, and two opportunities to do so.

When you go up the beam and when you wake up is an opportunity. A fight through the citadel, linking up with people inside, fighting to get to the "storage" area where all the dead are being taken by the reapers.

The other part they can fix, is actually after the weirdo child. Literally use that and make him be hardbinger messing up with your mind while your unconcious, indoctrination theory or w/e.

It can be done... but again is a huge undertaking.

Saw that earlier. Even though he wasn't as harsh as I would have thought, his balloon analogy is exactly how I felt at first. Then rage and depression and now, holding the line. ;)

 I really don't mind if we don't have a boss fight...but that's just me. I did find it wierd that we didn't have one, but I'm more into the story than the action itself, so...probably indifferent.

...kind a joined late this topic but I haven't seen that. However I dont really care if they are.
1st- They should be proud, that how bad MAss Effect 3's ending was. It did shell out one good thing.

The threshold of videogames being nothing more than kiddies toys and a waste of time is finally crossed. emotional impact and backplash of this maginitude only happens in "established" etertaining mediums. Movies, Literature, Television. For the first time at least in a very publicized manner, videogames have crossed that boundary. games before have had this occcur, but you dont see it was widely known as this was.

So of all this crap at least something good came out of.

Either way they had it coming.
