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.



This isn't Inception, and this isn't Blade Runner. Or Fight Club, with its very awesome ending. The cinematics were botched the moment Casper got into the screen. I actually prefer BR's happy ending, though I understand the original one as well.

And honestly, I'm a fan of the cyberpunk literary genre; I appreciate bittersweet endings. I don't think I've ever felt so depressed as when I finished reading Mona Lisa Overdrive, but it was a great book and I appreciated the story a lot (Hey, Bioware, maybe you could hire William Gibson to write game scripts for you guys!) -- more so than after I finished reading Snow Crash. Also a good book, but it doesn't end with the same forlorn, bittersweet note.

That said, this could have all been avoided if they hadn't basically turned all the ending consequences uniform. It wouldn't even take extra voice acting, cut scenes or maybe Kimberly Brooks reading epilogues would've done great. Fallout: New Vegas had a great wrap and it didn't even take any cinematics. As well as its best written DLC, Dead Money. Holy crap, that was an awesome, if not very depressing story.

Im currently watching ONCE UPON TIME SPACE for the first time since 1984.
I can say without a doubt that Bioware ripped off the whole arc and story from there...
Great machines ...SUPEr AI controlling them ...end of civilisation ....CYCLES etc...
They definately have watched it...lol
unfortunately is only streamed in polish .
Cant find english link ..otherwise i would post it here...

Ditto, TamiBx and firstarioch. At least one good thing came out of all this, which is the newly found sense of community on BSN. ;)

I used to spend a lot of time lurking (especially on the modding threads), but posting.. seldom if ever. 
But then came - space :wizard:!  


[edit: well, three good things, actually - that, the charity drive and, lest we forget, the upcoming extended cut.. however that turns out, it's still a good thing Bioware agreed to change anything]

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.

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:


Mods, mods make Skyrim better. :P No need to wait for paid DLC. Skyrim Nexus for all your modding neds.

What is it with people today and their love of depressing endings? Don't you people already lead depressing lives? I personally play games to escape the fact my life is boring and tedious. I much preffer games that offer a few varieties of endings.

Ooh, nice. More of Bioware being smartasses, I see. <_<


[edit: also, a really stupid comparison, if Priestly is the one that really tweeted that.. since you do get to read in the Bible what happened afterwards, duh, see: ressurection.. sheesh, I really hope they don't have that planned for Shepard, though, because the whole Space Jesus thing is just so.. tacky]

Yeah BW was really into ripping off the Bible in the ending. If you didn't notice your companions were also a simile to Adam and Eve.

Glad I didn't encounter that many dragons on Skyrim! Though admittedly I got bored of it after a while, take 2 steps and something else tries to kill you. I mean I'm an awesome swordswoman but just once in a while I'd like to at least get to the end of the road. Image IPB

I think that was a very dangerous joke for Priestly to make. I'm not religious but a comment like that could get backlash from those who are.

How could I forget! *slaps herself*  :D

If Bioware had any sense of irony at all (which apparently they don't anymore), they'd contact the person who makes those comics on devianart, and had them published.. instead they prefer to mock the fans. Lovely. (I'm still peeved about that twitter thing from a minute ago)
