Hey, those fan testimonies are pretty nice. Pretty powerful stuff, if you ask me. Very nice initiative. If that doesn't scream "we love it so much that we are willing to do everything for better endings", I don't know what does.

I'm only halfway through the video and I'm already having Vietnam-style flashbacks to the night I finished.

Which fan testimonies? Did I miss something?

I'm 20 minutes in and got to question #2, "one word to describe how the endings made you feel, and why."

You know I only ever romanced Garrus and Thane in ME2 (Always play FemShep), Jacob bored me to tears, and the game I carried over to ME3 was romancing Kaidan so I was happy with my ME3 romance, so from what I can guess what you guys are saying is that as long as you romanced a Squad mate you're safe?

Also @Johnnycide that was pretty funny

I feel so bad for anyone who romanced Jacob. That was just a slap to the face. At least with Thane, you know he loves. Shepard, but the game's kinda lacking. With Jacob, it's just... ouch

Yeah, Jacob's was just brutal. Thane's treatment was unexpectedly bad, but at least everybody had the possibility of his death made plain to them in ME2 so that they had some kind of warning. Jacob was a good, loyal guy in ME2, and then suddenly he's a (fairly) unapologetic cheater? That's a real disservice to both those who were unfortunate enough to romance him and to the integrity of this character.

Wow, you're right, that is a huge break in Jacob's character. I hadn't thought of that before That's truly terrible.

But, yeah, the main problem I have with how they treated Thane wasn't the fact that he died (which I thought was going to happen, without a doubt in ME3, not that the expectation kept the tears at bay ), nor that you couldn't save him, but the lack of acknowledgement of it.

This is a good galvanizing point for Retake, I think.  Something to get people ready for PAX.  When we finish watching we should make an effort to disseminate this.

Be ready, it's an hour long.  And about 20 minutes in you might find yourself reliving your ending feelings all over again.

Yeah, I feel you there. I've said this over and over the last few days but god, is it really too much to ask for Shep to be able to hold his hand at the end? They held hands all this time in ME2, Shep can't even do that once simple thing for him while he's dying?

Also the bit straight after, where my bro Garrus decided we needed to have a long chat about how Ashley didn't die, and Shep got to express the fact that she missed Kaidan, or all people. After the love of her life had died literally ten minutes ago. :/ (I've heard that actually, sometimes Kai Leng will trash-talk Thane in one of the subsequent fights and Garrus gets a bit protective if he's in your squad, which is nice. That said I was listening out for it specifically in all the fights and never heard it.)

I've never romanced Jacob personally, but I really feel for those who have. I believe if you try to reject him in ME2 he'll straight-up tell Shep he loves her. Then: suprise, someone else is having his baby! And they're naming it after Shepard! 8D

Not sure if this has been posted yet:

http://www.mediumdif...nd-entitlement/

It's a pretty nice take on ME3, the Day One DLC and endings, and how it relates to people throwing around the word "entitlement", and how most gaming media sites are completely wrong.

I want to find the girl who was talking right at 45:00.  She needs a hug and a reminder that we hold the line with her.

Wow, this is really powerful stuff. And, yes, I am now reliving the ending all over again. And it hurts, but I'm still glad I'm listening to it. To hear all these voices from all around the world echoing my own is as I said really powerful. It's also really revving up that initial anger towards Bioware on this as well. How....How could Mac and Casey not see this was such a massive betrayal to the fans? Sorry. Just all these emotions flooding back in.

You know how there have been a few "giving up the fight" threads posted on the boards lately?  I'd been using that ending comparison video to keep myself engaged, and angry.  But this thing is better.  Spread it around!  I already posted it on the facebook page, but it can't hurt for someone to put it up there again a little later tonight.  Anyone with access to twitter should send it off to Chris and Jessica, maybe also the ME account.  Dunno if tonight is a good idea, but getting it there tomorrow while there at work?

On the subject of romances and other game flaws (late as always) ...

Haven't played through many of the romances myself but I think you'll find plenty of people who agree that a lot of them got hit with a crap stick, and some definitely more than others, so you guys have my condolences.

I'm doing Kelly's right now and it's not much of a step up from the ME2 non-mance (see Shepard standing in front of her at each Citadel visit thinking "KISS ME DANG IT"). I mean really, if the Citadel arms are going to compact on her in the end and then blow up to seal the deaths, at least let them be happy for a little while. <_<


But this is stuff I can live with. I definitely loved the game the first time through before the ending went to hell, but the second time through I'm seeing things that aren't so great. Can't say whether or not they would have had more impact if the ending hadn't sucked, but flaws or no I really honestly would have loved to replay it at least a few times over.

I haven't watched it yet, but I would be more than happy to tweet it to Chris and Jessica and the ME account.

This video really makes you realize how impersonal the internet can be. Voice inflections are completely nonexistent, emotions can't be properly delivered, and after a while, a lot of people saying the same thing begins to come across as the same ol' humdrum; something it's not. Hearing the actual voices of these fans and how passionate they are really drives home how powerful this series really is for so many people.
