Is the person who made this just some random dude or an actual game critic, reviewer, whatever other title they give themselves.

They are a pretty well known group.

Oh and these Retake insulters are going to be at PAX. Go say hi. 

Thanks I don't frequent the Internet and certainly not gaming sites, so I'm not real knowlage able about these things.

I wish that I lived in Boston so I could go to pax to see it all go down.

Just noticed neither Casey Hudson or Mac Walters have tweeted anything since March 17th...wonder if they are on vacation? Lolz


More likely they've been told "Yeahhh it'd be better if you guys just stayed off of the social networks. We're tired of having to send armoured personnel carriers with Cerberus troops to extract you every time you post"

Is there a thread which outlines the common misconceptions of why people are upset over the endings?

Well said!

I'm starting to see a new trend here too now.  It's like the political scandals that are investigated and you start peeling back the layers of the onion.

The Wall Street Journal didn't review the same copy of Mass Effect 3 as we bought. 

Let that sink in for a second.  They admitted their version didn't have everything ours did in this article: http://blogs.wsj.com...tarted-a-furor/

I really do suspect that, as more and more publications realize THEY were spoon-fed the game reviews, that we'll see more and more backlash.

Guess it goes to show that Honesty is still the best policy.  I'm so so happy to see other companies now redirecting focus to ensure that they don't ruin their games/reputations, I'm happy to see that what was becoming a waterfall of rarely accurate miracle-cure advertising from ALL the publishers is now drying up and legitimate professional marketing of features is taking over.

I've noticed the main gaming publications have mainly gotten silent now as well.  Rather than bad mouth major advertisers they're just holding their tongue which tells me they're upset and it will show in the future.  The only people calling us whiners now are the amateur journalists and student journalists who are trying to show their 'professional skill' to their colleagues in the industry.. sadly they don't realize that their colleagues are all just as upset as the rest of us, but can't talk about it due to their publications' commercial interests.

Food for thought there. Image IPB


It reminds me of being at University as a grad student and TAing a class where some sophomore major constantly raises their hand with questions geared toward the sole purpose of trying to make the professor look like a fool - when in the end everyone in the class thinks they are an ass and their "points" reflect nothing but their relative lack of intelligence.

You're in it haha.. Majority of the good stuff is around page 600-800, good things after that, most of after that is discussion of response and whether or not we'll actually get the ending we want..

There are a few good news articles and blog posts that explain it in more concise, easier to find format too.  Check out DJBare's regular compilation posts in here as well, they're full of a ton of links with good content.

Hello everyone!! :)I say we should just shrug it off, they're not the first and I don't think they'll be the last, but we already know they don't have any solid arguments against us, so, as far as I'm concerned, it's all just nonesense... The only thing we have to do is wait for PAX, then everything will fall into place B)

For everyone who's freaking out over the Mega 64 video, just don't worry about it. They have a somewhat abrasive sense of humor and if you've watched any of their other videos, they're all about rubbing people the wrong way to get some laughs out of it. I highly doubt this was a real attempt to insult us... well actually it probably was, but that's kinda their thing.

Just shrug it off. Unless someone actually takes the time to find out the real reasons why we're upset, comes up with an intelligent argument, and doesn't simply use insults, don't give them a second thought. A the saying goes: don't argue with an ignorant person... or they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.


Haven't watched it, won't give them satisfaction of a 'click'.  Let's stop posting the link so they don't get any more 'fuel'. We need to just ignore this stuff and concentrate on what's important.

Exactly!  I'm starting to just feel bad for them, and their publication that probably doesn't have a clue what they're even talking about haha.

Can you remove a few of those please? 1 is more then enough ;)
Also maybe a silly question, but why cant i be another class if i import a me3 character?
Been thinking of actually trying this thing on insanity, maybe the combat alone could be interesting, before i only played for the story, since thats out of the window...
Any tips on which is the *best* class for playing insanity?
