So we can't get the ending we want after all?

"I haven't been shot in the head nearly enough times to make that seem like a good idea!"

Feels oddly appropriate. And yes, I am am replaying ME1. Ignorance is bliss. Especially while riding a Mako.

So I decided to take a quick look through that's included with the collector's edition, when I came across this:

One of the plans on the drawing board was to have the Illusive Man turn into a Reaper creature for the final battle. Eventually, this plan was scrapped, since we wanted to give players the satisfaction of fighting a character they know rather than a random creature.


What fight exactly?


The one with Marauder Shields...oh wait :?

Why, the battle of wits with TIM at the Citadel. Or maybe not? Who knows... speculation is the name of the game

Edit: Dammit, I forgot M. Shields. I'm so sorry!

You know...this explains the free SWTOR weekend e-mail I just received. Glad I didn't pre-order.


 
I did just give Blizzard around $100 for their Diablo CE though.

I read the release this morning and was livid. It's taken me all day to compose myself to write here. I actually feel worse then when the game was released. I am an artist and I know that if my clients aren't happy, I don't eat. If the public hates my work, I dont get more jobs. I can only hope BW learns what it means to be a starving artist. I've held the line with all of you and I'm proud to be part of the Retake movement. I still had hope for PAX but that's over now. We know no new endings are comming, or anything we were hoping for. I don't need "clarification" like I'm some stupid pyjak. And as for the artistic crap, the game is a mass produced product not art, and if it were art we would still be dissapointed. We were told we're getting the Mona Lisa and instead got multicolored macaroni art. I gave them the benefit of the doubt but I'm done now. I will not be getting the DLC, I don't see the point. I will not get any other DLC for ME3 either and I wish I could return everything for all 3 games.I was a loyal BW fangirl and I've been playing video games since Pong. Seen alot of good and bad games in my time but I have never been this upset over one. Or 3 in this case. I will never play ME again and that saddens me greatly. I will never buy from EA or BW again. I also will not buy anything with the writers, producers, directors, etc., names attatched to it.They could make the most amazing thig ever and I would not get it.I see no reason to reward these people for their treatment of their clients. At this point if they were to give us what we wanted after the press release, I would not take it. I'm getting of this rollercoaster.I'm proud of what we've done and will continue to hang here with the rest of you. BW may not care about us but I'm sure other companies have taken notes. I'm glad Bethesda listend to their fans and happy to be one of theirs. We deserved better and more importantly the characters we love deserved better.

By the way guys, we stay here, holding the line, while thousands of smart users are buying tons of bioware points to get 'equipment packs' in ME3 multiplayer that you can also buy with in-game credits you 'earn' for playing multiplayer... also it's random loot inside

So yea there are some peeps out there...

Please anyone going to PAX don't do anything that we're going to regret. Don't lose your cool. Remember, don't compare them to Hitler, don't scream, don't threaten grievous bodily harm. And be ready to be disappointed or by Bioware. They're probably going to try to move on to their next big thing anyway.


Regardless of what happens at PAX, nothing changes, they'll still do what they're doing. Frankly, if someone jumped up on stage, broke Hudson's nose, slipped a red-emblazoned armband on him, and then spray painted said logo on the wall behind him, nothing would change. It doesn't matter how much we raise our voices any more, or how much we send them twitter messages or hate-mail. We've passed that stage. Now we're onto the next stage. Telling them we have a problem with it hasn't worked, now it's all down to numbers. If/once they realise the immense dent in their sales and profits, they'll realise that they have to do something. If they lose their profit, they lose their budget too, which means less equipment to produce a game, which means a worse game, which starts the entire cycle again.

EAware have put themselves on a railroad track, it doesn't matter who is on the train or who doesn't want to be on it, in the end, they'll keep doing this until they lose their profit from the industry, then either they'll try desperately to appease the fanbase that has disowned them, or EA will toss them to one side and carry on with the row of other companies that they can ruin for the fanbase. Fortunately, this will then warn every other game developer to never do this, and the future of the game industry will be saved, and not only this, but it'll ensure that more companies do not join EAs list of cannon fodder, by which I mean they won't work with them, saving the game industry again.

Bioware are just one of the many pawns EA has at its disposal, EA will use them, and the instant they have served their purpose and are of no further use, they will disband Bioware entirely and get as much money as they can from the remains, and poor people like Merizan will be put out of the job, and with their service record with the failed company, paired with the current economy, it's likely they'll never find another job in this area. I know I'd trust new blood more than I would someone who's already went under once.

This is all true but I wouldn't excuse Bioware entirely. At the end of the day EA may have rushed it out before it was completely done but Bioware wrote the thing. They have creative control and this is what they came up with. EA only provides resources and sets deadlines but it was Waters and Hudson who wrote the end.

So... odds that they'll clarify why the Normandy was the only ship damaged by the Space Magic? Or why EDI gets out of the ship sometimes in the Red ending?

My money's on nil.

Okay, time for the really long post I've been thinking up since this morning:

First off.  Once again, you people are crazy.. in an awesome kind of way.. I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather hold the line with.

Secondly.  Stop.
Seriously.. just stop... that's right, take a second, take a break, step back from the line, take a look at what we've done.

You have scared Electronic Arts... the largest gaming conglomerate on the -planet-.  The ones who have frogwalked entire awesome companies to their graves..  You have forced them to rethink future plans.  You've made them accelerate plans to try to consolidate their supply/retail chain.

*snip*

Above all, stay civil..  Freaking out, threatening people, that's the last thing to do at this point as it'll just show the world that we're not going to be happy regardless.. we WILL be happy, we'll remain civil customers, we will have our voices heard, and we'll keep pressing until we have 100% satisfaction.  If this were GM, this dealership would have lost its Certification already with all the people not "Completely Satisfied" with their service.  Don't let them pressure you into compromise if you don't want it.. but if you do, don't be afraid to at least admit it and be happy with what you've got.

Hold the line, I know I will be,

Computim out.  Image IPB


Pretty much this
