So has anybody been able to play a second playthrough yet? I really want to start the game again but i cant bring myself to do it knowing what awaits me.

Hopefully we get some good news at PAX so i can start my second playthrough.

I keep restarting... getting about halfway through and giving up... Basically I get to the part where Shepard tells Garrus She loves him just before they have their sniping contest up on the top of the presidium and then I remember the ending and sigh and shut the game off...

Tried to sit through a video defending the ending, so ridiculous, had to go watch the parodies and was reminded how much more sense those make than the actual spacechild one.

Still holding the line, but for your entertainment and to remind you of the good moments in the game:
Joker is dancing the Rickroll in Purgatory XD

And with that, back to the trenches.

I've tried, got as far as Mars and then I turned my XBOX off.

The Wall Street Journal weighs in: Why the Ending of Mass Effect 3 Started a Furor

Overall, not so bad. Some interesting insights, but (compared to Forbes, for example) fairly poor research on the real issues behind the protests.

Not sure if its been posted, but some Totalbiscuit on ME3

Random supporting lurker checking in. Figured I'd share my favorite new analogy.

It's as if, playing a tabletop D&D game, you've spent weeks trudging your way forward, merrily smiting evil and helping the helpless, only to reach your final goal....and then, on the last day of your game, your GM has a hangover and decides to have aliens invade and kill your group.

And if you, as the player, complain and want a different, more sensible ending...you're an entitled whiner who doesn't understand or respect the artistic vision and integrity of the GM.

I haven't even tried to replay. As a matter of fact, I still can't bring myself to play anything at all... Oh well, I have deadline to meet anyway, so I should be finishing off some research and writing. I'll see how it goes when work's done, maybe I'll be so starved for fun that I'll play anything... though I'd definitely stop a new ME3 playthrough before godchild. No need to repeat plothole central.

Hold the line!

*Edit* They are, apparently, trying to get an interview from Bioware about ME3...if they can manage that it should be...interesting.

Finally! Some websites are calling things what they really are. Games journalism is a symbiotic relationship with game developing that is more than meets the eye. One needs the other, so it's not surprising when all the big games come out with stellar scores. The companies give enough "heads up" to the "journalists", in the form of interviews, previews and first hand stuff, that they repay by giving good scores. And they know that after it's done once, they will continue the relationship.

It's no surprise that games with entire parts missing, like Kotor 2 and others, get stellar reviews without a single mention to their problems. Not even the most obvious ones.

Sadly, it makes game producers stick to their guns and say: "I don't know where this criticism comes from, we had stellar reviews of our game". They know it's all just "mise en scène", but the "symbiotic chain" keeps them apparently above criticism.

But we will prove this chain can be broken.

Edited: and the prove of the pudding is exactly why Forbes is doing it. It's because they are not a game media, and are not dependent on anyone from the industry. They are an "off the chain" publication. <_<

I tried too, but the complements in emails and conversations are ultimately what killed my second playthrough. I was just thinking, "Don't thank me. You don't know what I am goint to do you all later.:crying:"

Can't hardly bring myself to play a second time. It's sad that I'm opting for the MULTIPLAYER to fill my time rather than playing the story.

I had to for my achievements.. but it's hard. It's actually harder to do than the first time around, especially when you get to some of the unavoidable deaths that make you cry.

And of course the "Why did I bother" endings :l

I just wrote an E-mail to a journalist of Germany's biggest news-website about the situation here and the "Retake Mass Effect"-movement in general.

He (the journalist) already wrote an article about us and was totally NOT biased (yes, I'm looking right at you, IGN).

Maybe I gained a War-Asset there.

I got about 4 hours into a second play through; It's just weird, i know that the rest of the game is amazing, but when i play it, it's like there's something nagging me in the back of my mind. It honestly feels like I'm committing a sin in a way; I'm doing something I love, but it feels like it's just wrong.

I hope we get more people who are willing to tell what's going on here to the people who are not frequently lurking in here

Holy...errm...Mass Effect Batman!

First Forbes (you seriously have to respect those guys, they've been on this right from the start) and now the Wall Street Journal. Wow.

Am I the only one getting this strange dizzy feeling when I consider that the publications that are treating this as a serious matter, and reporting it fairly, are not known for dealing with the gaming industry but finance?

My head is spinning at the thought that the best place to get reliable, impartial, information on games comes from the last places you'd think would be interested.

I don't want improvements to the current endings. I want a new one. The kind where we could alter the Crucible's function to save the Earth without sacrificing all other synthetics.
