Thank you for raising your hand.

All you need to do is to take part in the polls on BSN and external, make your voice heard by sharing your view on the endings here or write your thoughts to Dr. Mazyka's thread http://social.biowar...dex/10385157/47 for instance

Just make sure to check back now and then or more often and help us keep the various threads alive. That is it.

I never spend any time on internet forums as I am not that type of person and my RL doesn't allow me that due to time restrictions, but my disappointment and apparently being lied for the last 12 months about ME3 and how our decisions will matter brought me here to help the Retake Mass Effect movement and fight for more endings.

Welcome aboard soldier, you can take the polls, write down your thoughts in feedback thread, write them to an email and send that to bioware, comment on news articles, boycott MP etc .

Small things, and each and every one of them counts ^_^

Make Marauder Shield's sacrifice worth it. Hold the line until Mass Effect has been restored to the glory it deserves.


Funny thing is - Mass Effect's glory should Bioware's main concern not ours.

We should just pay and play and be awed.

Instead we are asking them to deliver.

Than they shouldn't be calling it the end of the trilogy b/c all they did was invalidate almost everything you did because you are the now the villian, congratulations.

If it would be the last time you play as shepard than they need to give the player some resolution and show how our changes affected the future in the game they released.  

Also, they would need to show it.  If the whole ending is a dream sequence and we seriously have to wait for ME4 to create a new hero to deal with whatever shepard couldn't, than what is the point.  

You don't get to say, we have all these varied endings based on all the choices you have and than say wait for ME4.  Again if they want to take the story there fine, but I expect a proper ending and closure to what I have gone through with MY commander shepard, even if he turns evil.


I don't disagree with you. I wouldn't expect anyone to know it but I've posted prviously about my unhappiness with the endings and the choices that BW/EA have made. I simply can't wrap my head around how they arrived at this point and it was a surprise to them. I was just speculating on where they might be intending to go with it all. Certainly my previous ruminations would go against what they said they'd deliver but would that really be surprising since they've already failed once? Maybe in their heads the end of the trilogy is the end of Shepards personal story but not the end of overall plot with the Reapers etc.

I want and expect closure myself. I'm just guessing based on all the vague things they've said where they could possibly going with all this inane stuff.

For those of you that haven't seen it yet, ZeroPunctuation has released his review of ME3. Pretty entertaining.

Welcome back soldier, no damn shame in taking a break, in fact I'd say it's highly recommended, I've seen a few on here who could do with a break since it appears they are about ready to freak.

You think that's weird? I basically begged them to make me able to give them my money once again in the feedback thread. You know, since students, especially those whose major is in the humanities, have such amounts of excess money laying around, they simply just need something to throw it at :lol:

Im the same until now I'd never got involved in any other forum because I didn't care about the topics but I truly care about the end of Mass Effect (Kept re buying the original cos my Xbox was demolishing disks in the end bought a WHOLE new Xbox just to play Mass Effect.)

Just so im adding something rather than spam text would it be possible to rasie our issues with small news letters in local community or at institutions like university just tto try and bring some more people out of the "Silent Majority".

Maybe this is what they are trying to do. Make people leave the movement by being vague.

Hopefully in April there will be good news. Although I am concerned that they may take the cheap path and only add more cut-scenes to current ending and explain it a bit better. What I want is variety in endings from Happy ending with rainbows and unicorns to utter destruction of the Galaxy based on your choices throughout the trilogy.

I think we need to give Bioware a little bit of credit. I think they're all too aware that they need to address this properly and not just hand out more of the same.


i'll credit them with the fact that they are doing something about it, how much praise and how much consumer confidence they regain from me will depend on the product

YES YES YES. I want happy ending as well. So I can feel good again playing ME.

Unicorns are fine, blue babies and everything do not have to spoil the game for people who like original endings.

Just maybe Bioware can erase glowing pyjak on citadel :whistle:

I've said it before but it doesn't matter if we are a vocal minority. Let's say we make up 30% of fans. We are also the ones more likely to buy DLC, tie-in comics, novels and the $80 collectors edition. So we may account for 40% or more of their revenue. Even if we are a minority, can Bioware really afford to alienate 30% or 40% of its fanbase? Can any company be okay with that? Does addressing the endings alienate the alleged majority who liked it? It wouldn't make sense.

You just did, welcome to the line, that's all that's required, let your voice(or text in this case) be heard.


Exactly! That's what I'm getting at. Start posting, be active, be encouraging; that's all! Simply being here at our backs is more than enough, guys.

And never give up on this line. You can win yourself the ending you need - that we all need, just by being here and fighting for us, with us, for yourself.  Don't be afraid to comment and join in, even if you think you have nothing to add. Your support means more than you realize it does.

I'm fighting for this line and I have to go pay $5 an hour at some crummy internet cafe since my net is down. Fight how you can, where you can, when you can. But the important part is simply to fight

Mass Effect deserves it.

Do whatever you see fit. Of course local presence does help us, but I think that the highest and easiest to reach potential of silent majority is here and reading this forum. These people only need to be mobilised.

Look at this thread, we are beyond page 2200, this already brings across our message.

The more I think about it the more I am bothered by Ray's statement. It's like we are just children to them. We are not sophisticated enough to understand their artistic vision so they will take some time to explain it to us.

Not optimistic about April.

absolutely....they want to pick some off now, they've received too much bad press to do nothing....and the fix we get at PAX will be it....that's why we need to make sure we are clear with our issues....

hold the line until the solution is here!

There are actual consequences to the gamer community by BioWare using the phrase "artistic integrity" that I think every one needs to take a look at. I discuss it here:

http://social.biowar...4855/1#10454855

Please go and leave your comments to show BioWare our opinions are not belittling their artistic integrity, or making us out to be "entitled gamers." The language of the last PR post is actually incredibly important and could possibly put what we're all doing in a very negative light. Hopefully that's not the case... but there it is.

Hmm, I might do a publicity strike to my uni's bathrooms tomorrow, they seem to be the hotspot of memes and fan phenomena. Incidentally, apparently Moriarty is real and people believe in Sherlock Holmes, 10 bathroom stalls have told me so :whistle:

"But with the new Cole design, Sucker Punch heard
loud and clear what fans of Infamous wanted, and they delivered.
Infinite amounts of kudos to them for doing right by their community.
Fans of Infamous won't soon forget it. Sucker Punch is one of Sony's
most valuable developers. They are tuned-in with the PS3 faithful, and
it's things like this that prove it." - Colin M. of IGN

The guy is a pure hypocrite, now saying this http://www.ign.com/v...jectid=14235014 .

On one hand he says it's good to listen to the fans, on the other he doesn't.

Also, please don't feel like if you've posted a personal review of the endings that your discussion has to stop there. There's always the what ifs, the supporting each other, the attention to the news, all kinds of things that are still on topic and relating to the cause. It doesn't matter when you got here, how long you've been here or if you've taken a break or not. Part of what has made this movement so strong is the sense of community.
