I dunno. Maybe if I had friends that had watched it or something, I would have. I haven't watched any of the spacey sci-fi shows that have come and gone on TV, except the 12 episodes of Firefly because someone told me I had to (they were right).

I liked Star Wars, but outside of that my favourite Sci-fi movies are Blade Runner and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Movies with real themes and a deep meaning, unlike whatever the hell the ending to Mass Effect 3 had. Those were what I would call true art, whereas Mass Effect 3 was attempting to be artsy for the sake of being artsy. I don't know if Hudon and Walters realize just how far they missed the mark by trying to emulate those.


Yeah good point, the only real reason I ever watched it was because my parents are hugs trekkie fans lol, I've watched quite a few spacey sci-fi shows and such because of them. I just don't normally like that sort of thing, Mass Effect was the first spacey thing I truly loved, the first and probably the only to be honest.

I didn't like Star Wars at all, I found it utterly boring lol. I've never seen Blade Runner, I may have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey but I am not certain.
I agree that Hudson and Walters missed the mark entirely though, that ending was not artful at all. It was just dreadful, nothing more to it than that really.

Yeah I'm guilty of playing the thing through 6 times, I'm on my 7th run now... Well not at this exact moment, I'm playing Skyrim right now... Ah the joy of slaughtering entire villages of people and getting away with it just because I have enough money and because no one saw me do it~! :devil:


*bows down in awe* :D

Ah, Skyrim.. good times.

Nharia has replayed it like 7 times or something lol.

Me I can't play it again at all...infact I havent even tried because I know myself well enough to know if I start it again I will just turn it off.

Really?  I'm... in.. total AWE of Nharia right now. :blink: Now, that's bravery.

*snips*


Its... nothing really, you just have to be really good at ignoring the very end... I usually play it when I'm super tired so I don't pay as much attention to it... :unsure:

Hezz, I was like that at first.. couldn't play it, just shut the game off, heck, I've shut all games off after the loading screen. I couldn't play anything at all (and believe me, I've tried playing every single game I that own). Then after a few weeks I got this jonesing for some good ole fashioned fantasy rpg and played a bit of DAO and then LoTR: War in the north. That seemed to do the trick, somehow, and now I'm back to my regular gaming habits.

I can even play ME3 again.. just not continue to play it, apparently. But, I can at least play other games again, thankfully.


Haha nah she just likes torture *looks at Nharia and smirks* :D

Glad that you are back to your old gaming habits though! I wish I was, like I've said before I just keep switching games. Or I simply just watch DVD's lol.

Heres something funny we still can't get the ending we want with the Extended Cut dlc it just adds clarification.

When I think of Q I think of him i44.tinypic.com/72px5z.jpg

But I guess it doesn't help that I've never actually watched Star Trek before.




Well basicly star trek Q can do anything just by snapping his fingers, so that would make it very easy to sort out the ending.

Ah, Skyrim.. good times.


I actually got bored of Skyrim, though I think I know why. I had bought it on PS3 to begin with and after about 30+ hours of playing it the framerate dropped like a ton of bricks and became unplayable, I then waited for a patch to sort it but the patch just f-ed up the game worse, so I traded it in and bought Batman Arkham City instead. Then I got Skyrim for my xbox but got bored after about 10 hours because the framerate issue on PS3 seems to have put me off lol.

*sorry for the off topic*

Though in regards to my mention of framerate, the PS3 version of ME3 has crappy framerate during every single cutscene and conversation (no where near Skyrim bad though, just enough to annoy me lol) managed to look past it for all of the game, then the ending happened and I seriously could care less about the annoying framerate now I just want to get rid of the horrible ending lol.

You'll get there! *hugs* ;) 
I was doing the same thing for almost three weeks.. switching games and watching dvds and A LOT of cable (something I haven't done in ages). Mind you, it's always good to watch The Name of the Rose or Breakfast Club again. Not to mention Firefy and (the original untampered version of) Star Wars.  :)

i got bored of Skyrim the second i realised what i had to do to get to be head of the thieves guild..... that was just the most ridiculous thing ever, and also got bored when it seemed as if i had done everything, im hoping some DLC comes along soon
edit: oh and the fact that i couldnt walk 5 feet without getting attacked by like 2-3 dragons lol:lol:

About DLC I heard they are releasing some, but I don't know when.

That ending isn't really pathetic, but when you play the game like you play ME or so and do all the storylines before the final battle, it's rather easy to finish.

Of course Skyrim has it's own weaknesses, but the open world kinda makes up for that.

Me still has better writing, apart from these infamous last 5 minutes.

*shrug* I know nothing about Skyrim's main story ending, I assume you fight Alduin.

The open world is really great fun but can get boring after a while and since Skyrim pretty much has unlimited side quests it's no wonder it gets boring lol.

Anyway this isn't about Skyrim so lets all shoosh before we get into trouble :?

 Just to chip in, but I do wish at least the theme song at the end was different.

It was a weird techno thing with hints of M4 Part II throughout it.

I wish it had been M4 Part II instead. It'd make sense to wrap the first and the third game with the same song.

Sort of like a cycle ending. You know?

Well, it was supposed to come full circle, because the song was made by the same people who made M4 Part II. The band is Faunts , and this new song is Das Malefitz www.youtube.com/watch 


They remixed the hell out of it, having listened to that song. I mean, they made the drum beats less understated and downplayed the other instruments, so it sounds like a mission song instead (that was the intent I think).

But what was powerful about M4 Part II wasn't just the tunes, it was the lyrics too.

'If all goes as planned
Will you redeem 
My life again?'

This sounds pretty integral to the ME theme, aside from the chorus lines. Hell, play Liara's storyline on ME2 with Faunts, Part II in the background. That's the image it evoked in my mind. Liara  trying to get Shepard restored at all costs. :P Anyway, Das Malefitz in its original is good too.

Now to wait for the new DLC in July/August. Sounds like a good birthday present if they do right by us!

It was the same for me. Mass Effect was really the first such series that I've really grabbed on to, and to see it end like this... I dunno, it kinda hurts.

I honestly believe Hudson and Walters may be holding on to their idea like it's one of those movies. And that in a few years we, the fans, will see their true genius. Because in the case of Blade Runner, this is exactly what happened. Ridley Scott had to splice in a random happy ending when test screening fans were confused and depressed by it's true ending. Though after time passed and the ending was restored, people began to really appreciate the film. The fans spent over 20 years speculating about the true nature of the ending before Ridley Scott came out and told them. In this case, the crazy fans that pieced together a bunch of clues from the movie to make an insane theory... well, they turned out to be right. Sound familiar? lol. I kid, because I don't for a second trust Walters and Hudson to have come up with something so intricate.

But seriously, someone needs to go wake these guys the hell up and explain to them that they haven't made another Blade Runner. This is another Matrix: Revolutions. The one that had fans scoffing at it's awfulness. The one with some BS about a pseudo-scientific sacrifice from the hero which miraculously causes the killer robot ships to just stop attacking.  Also having something about a catalyst/architect who always secretly controlled the ominous bad guys, and could never manage to make a lick of sense.

That is what they have on their hands. Another Matrix: Revolutions. The movie that totally destroyed a franchise. The sooner they realize this, the better.

Well, it's been a month since the game came out. But it feels much, much longer than that.  Personally, it feels like I've been hanging around you lot for ages, even though I hasn't really been that long.. :P


And to think that, before all this, I maybe posted something here once or twice a year, under normal circumstances..

yep, it will help give an idea on how to please the majority, the more people that do it the better. some of the questions i struggled with as the answers were all important to me. even so after doing it i find myself thinking if they could just do this and this it wouldnt be so bad. as ive said before if they give you the choice to say no then expand on that win lose or draw(so to speak) i would be happy.

Before this whole thing, I had posted on here once, and it was on the DA:O forum, right after I made this account. Actually, I didn't even bother to make a BSN account until last year, because I had no desire to post on a gaming forum.
Little did I know that this would be the most visit website in March for me...
