I'm starting to get the itch to play through with my Vanguard (2-3), but I don't think I have the heart for it.

Same with me but when I start playing...the feeling leaves 

I was tempted a few times to import my soldier who romanced Jack because I always think, "She's still on Earth right? He could potentially get back to her." Then I realize that I just pulled off some serious headcannon before even playing so really, what's the point?

Well, I do go to a very big school, so they can afford to pay famous bands to come over, I guess

WoW...I need to move to our town, stuff actually goes on there!

That's true. Since we are all waiting for April, they're now having enough space to claim to be the victims and makes us look like the bullies...haha

Some do, truly enough, but not all. And certain members amongst us may very well qualify. I simply find polarity of opinion and blanket conclusions often are prone to fill peoples' perceptions- stereotyping, I believe it's called. And they're often not true, although potentially amusing.

Accept all girls do scream at concerts- that's been scientifically proven.

Ok, so slightly OT - the horrendous ending seems to have colored everything that I read and see, not just ME related.

I was reading in the Economist about Lady Gaga's social media strategy, and this line drew my attention: " Mr Carter (co-founder of the company that runs Lady Gaga's fan site) says that experience with Lady Gaga has taught him that what a super fan says can sometimes have a bigger impact on fellow fans than a word from the Lady herself."

I think that somewhere along the line BW / EA forgot this key principle of any business - your core supporters / loyalists are your most important asset as they are the most likely to overlook your faults and be your strongest advocates. However, the Ending was a big screw you to all of us who have invested so much time and emotional attachment to the ME universe, and the reason the movement has shown the traction it has is purely because the endings are so universally reviled and particularly by the most passionate of fans.

BW's response to the movement has also been telling in terms of how they view their fans. All statements have subtle (or not so subtle) digs at the fans, minimizing their size, or coming from the angle of artistic integrity (so who cares about how you guys feel), or insinuating a large proportion of fans have been engaging in "unconstructive criticism". Just a blatant slap in the face to the fans. On top of that, they have not taken the leadership to rebuke those sites who are writing articles slamming the fans as "entitled", "whiny" and what have you. Wouldn't your impression of them have improved significantly if they had taken a stand and said "stop with the name calling, these people are part of our family, and we are working very hard to listen to their concerns and determine how we could potentially address them" (I've been working in corporate settings long enough to write statements without committing to anything )

Instead, we are where we are today, patiently (and occasionally impatiently) waiting for the next move from BW. let's hope they dont disappoint again.

So... I beat the game. Didn't like the ending at all. I've heard rumors a few other people don't either...

We exist, we're a minority, but we exist I'd say with the addition of you our line is about 15 possibly 16 strong getting hard to count that high.

This had better be a joke, because if our detractors find this post they are going to run like **** with it. It's the weekend and BioWare has said they'd respond in April. We're all in recon mode right now. I can guarantee you that after the announcement everyone who's gone silent will come back, either to express more outrage or to congratulate everyone for holding the line.

That was a joke.

Unfortunately, it is. We have all been through this stage, it's called denial. Don't worry, you are not alone. There are thousands of people who feel the same way you do. Help us hold the line and get them to fix this atrocity.

I agree. Some of the people angry with the ending does take it a little...to seriously. Not just that, they can be very vocal and aggressive. 
But the other side does have some clueless people who claim we are all out there to destroy Bioware...

Well, sorry for being a girl who goes to rock concerts lol
Actually, the guys around me were way worse than me. They were probably drunk, too.

I havent played in a week , i wonder if this is what withdrawal feels like??....April cant get here fast enough.

JK and on a semi related topic do people from the UK and other English speaking nations ever try and talk with American accents when joking around? I have always wanted to hear that.
