What is getting to me in this whole situation is that if BioWare just admited "Ok, we screwed up." So many angry fans would be a bit more forgiving. Instead BioWare is giving us vague nothings and clinging to this "artistic integrity" stuff.


Exactly my point.

And I'm back from the depths of being a Bard in Neverwinter Nights 2... Somehow I always end up being a bardesque character in any game I play... I wonder if I should go into some kind of thing that's related to that... Like a PR type role... O.o; I don't know if I could handle all of the hate that would come my way though...


hahaha! Hey you! *hugs* Welcome Back.


*hugs back* Hey~! I really wish I had multiple screens, but I've just got a Laptop so that wouldn't work, otherwise I'd play NW2 and be holding the line at the same time... Agh, my Pureblood Yuan-ti can talk a freaking demon into killing himself... I wonder if she were real if she could convince BW to create a new ending, cause theres two things that would be helpful for them, if they have people pay say, $5 for it they're still making money off of it, and they'll be getting back some of their loyal customers, but those people will be more critcial of everything they do... Or if they release it for free they're getting more people back... but they'll still be under suspicion for the way they've handled this whole thing... I'm sure however that my bard could probably convice EA and BW to make new endings which would be awesome for us... :unsure:

exactly.. but  they are getting dangerously close to  Apathy  Event Horizon, once the cross that its over for  them its a black hole of apathy they will never come out of. 

An simple "We screwed up guys.." would help them  but that should have been done much earlier... now I need to see something.  This extended cut , only cutscene and  no gameplay... is not helping their chances.. 

The fact they  are releasing it  and its free is keeping them from inching closer .. atm.

Sometimes I'm scared you guys read my thoughts *looks around scared*

I was literally JUST saying to my mum, that IF BioWare just admit they f-ed up I am pretty sure a whole bunch of fans/customers/people will be much more forgiving. I mean I dunno about anyone else but I respect honesty, I live by a very big "be honest with me and I'll be honest with you" policy. I pretty much never lie unless it's a joke or to keep something a suprise ect. So IF BW were to come out and say "OK guys, we're sorry, and we messed up" I would be like "Right that's OK, but what are you going to do about it?"

Imagine what a great gift it would be if u downloaded the Ex. Cut DLC and in the starchild kid scene you could tell him to f*ck off and beat Reapers in a conventional way. It would take BW less effort than what they are preparing now and it would make all the fans happy, ensuring we would stay BW/EA customers providing them with our money. But guess what, it wont happen, artistic vision of some #@*^# is more important to them. Beyond comprehension.

LOL I have no idea what any of what you said just means but, cool *thumbs up*

About wishing you had multiple screens, it's not needed. You are allowed to have fun you know. Like me? I was at the Beach all day....don't really like the beach but it was great to get out and have some fresh air ect. Think that's maybe why when I heard about the PAX mess I laughed instead of crying or getting angry.

Ocean air + Watching dogs have fun at the beach = relaxation.

Haha the bit about Tali's face made me giggle, I don't really care about what happened with Tali's face. I thought it looked OK when I googled the image *shrug* Tali was never my LI and she never gave me any pic of her, and she was happy and alive (and sucking on Garrus' face) in my game anyways.

RE;sidenote- I played it for all of 10 mins, got bored and took it back to the place I rented it from lol.

I just finished ME1. Oh, the awesomeness....Image IPB

I'm really wondering what BioWare will do with the Extended Cut, though, mostly because I fear that they will fail at resolving the problems it has. Don't take me wrong, I really hope this won't be the case, but I just don't think they really listened to the criticism that outlines what's truly wrong with the ending.

Final choice:

Control: Become the Illusive Man and pretty much condone everything he's done. Bleh. Image IPB
Synthesis: Create some sort of galactic Borg with no idea of what the consequences are. Bleh. Image IPB

Destroy: Commit massive genocide and turn your Shepard into a certain mustachioed historic villain. Bleh. Image IPB

It's like listening to someone who's telling a joke about some grave disease and you're wondering what kind of monster punch line could possibly turn that into being funny...

*stops casting a read mind spell*
I'm not reading your thoughts~! :whistle:
Yeah I agree, I respect people who are at least honest with others, which BioWare is most certainly not, at least right now... they're not even really honest with themselves, which is really bad...

Damn, i was pretty much ok after 2 weeks of sadness but now, with the ex cut coming i feel bad again. So strange they didn't listen. What company doesnt listen to its customers ? It is up to us to make them realize they cant go on like that. Dont let the issue blow off guys. Remember they dont care. We got scre*d. They should put ppl in prison for sayin "we listen to the feedback" and then doing exactly opposite thing. If i did that in real life i couldnt look in the mirror. How they are able to do that is beyond me. Sorry for whining guys but i gotta vent somewhere :(

People still crying because they didn't like the ending to a game. Go and make your own IP and sell that then. Bioware doesn't owe you anything, you are all just unjustified, self-entitled keyboard warriors. You think you are the majority when in fact you are just the vocal minority. Just a game, don't be so invested in it.

Yes I played since one, no I wasn't happy that there was effectively one ending but hey, it is the story they wanted to tell and not everything ends how you want it.
