I fail to see how that's whining. That's being rational - I only spend money on the things that I want. Bioware apparently isn't going to make things that I want... so why should I pay them?


Wow how ENTITLED can you be!? Liberals....


Nonono.  The buzz word is "Commie socialists" or "Canadians"... though that last one is more accurate... Bioware what have you done!? You were supposed to bring BALANCE to the force... you were supposed to make up for Celine Dion, Nickelback, and Justin Beiber, NOT MAKE US MORE HATED! Image IPB

Well, this is it, isn't it? The end of the line? You guys think there's something else to be won here? I'm not a quitter, but that BW announcement sounded final.

People can change their minds. Hell, it's not as if what we got contradicted what was originally said. If we're lucky the same might happen again.

The FAQ on its own sounds terrible though. Could they come across more out-of-touch if they tried? Still, if the Twitter posts are to be believed it may not be quite as bad as it sounds, even if it's a long way from perfect.


Know what would go a long way towards quieting down the PR disaster that the FAQ caused? Giving us actualy information about what they plan to do. You can;t leave your customers to speculate when they no longer trust you. If Bioware wants us to trust that this DLC will fix things, they need to give us some evidence.


Well, I'll be here holding the line. As usual.

This announcement can't be more out of touch with their customers if they really tried to be so. It's crazy. And was one of the very first things we were clear about: "don't give us explanations or just more of the same endings. Give us new endings, or don't give us anything. We are not stupid. We understood the endings.".

Maybe they are just hoping that the press will swallow it and stop talking about them. Or will take the bait and start saying that we are never satisfied. This can very well be the point on this announcement.

With that i agree.
Let's hope they talk more about this during PAX...

"I'd like a wallpaper in Cyan."

"We only sell it in red, green or blue."

"Then I'll buy somewhere else where I get what I want/need."

That's not liberal, that's what each and everybody does, everyday. It's called business.

PS: Assuming "Liberals" because of sucha statement is very narrow-minded. Don't judge people on a one-sentence basis.

Here's the short answer; BioWare was trying to be edgy. I mean, everybody expected a happy ending for Shepard. (Or at least for there to be a happy ending option) These wacked out ending they provided totally diverged from that, proving that they had the capacity for "artistic" vision. Unfortunately, this artsy crap they provided was a giant "screw you" to anyone who actually came to care for the characters of Mass Effect. Thanks for the effort BioWare, but if this is the new direction for your games, I want no part of it.

A month ago, if anyone had told me that I would be part of a "war" against  "artistic integrity" and the video game industry, I would have laughed out loud, and ignored them. There was nothing that I wanted more than my copy of Mass Effect 3.

Now...how could this happen? We all had faith that they would learn from DA2 and make the most amazing game and ending for their beloved franchise, Mass Effect...:crying:

Exactly. This, exactly.

It's an insult.

I see you neither understand literary structuring or have the ability to notice plot holes. So, my reply to you good sir, is derp. Derpy derp. Derp derp derplson.

Why reply with that? Because, simply put, I don't think you'd comprehend anything else.

Oh, very definitely. All I'm saying is that the final result might not be quite as atrocious as it sounds like it'll be for the game, not for BW's image. It doesn't excuse the ongoing PR disaster for one second. How completely out of touch they sound, and continue to sound, is incredible.

Yep. A month before ME3 came out my extremly pessimistic was telling me how it was gonna be terrible.

My point of defense: "How badly can they screw it up?"

Little did I know...

Correct. We've been civil and polite, and we were just asking for something that was advertised as being in the game. If they like their current stance of treating us like idiots who don't understand their ending and that need it explained, or that will believe that they were listening to what we were saying as they claimed, we have the right to say that we'll be taking our money elsewhere.

If anyone complains about this, I'm not sure who is the "whiny idiot". I'm an adult, and I act like that: no drama, just making a statement for a company that I respected and loved so that they know my reasons of why I'm moving away (yes, I'll send an e-mail too, before someone feels smart enough to say why I don't do just that, but forums are just for this too).

If you ever see a post from Minty just ignore it. It's almost always a poor attempting at stiring up the proverbial beehive.

Guys, do we have any response yet? what is our move? are we just gonna give up? Im just curious. We can't just give up like this. Ofcourse we all wait on PAX, but still, has there been any news? ive been gone for a couple of hours so i could have missed it.
