lol no wonder he hasn't touched his twitter since like the 17th of march, too busy eating ice cream

That's why the ending was so horrible, he was eating too much ice cream and got brain freeze!

With all the recent tweets I'm more and more inclined to go with the IT. Just because I don't want to believe they really screwed up the writing part that bad :!

We all know the feeling. But if it's something they borrow from, or fully copy, they'll be doing just that. What I mean to say is that it was something they never had planned in the first place.

But to see them go with it would be awesome... If they suplemented it all with some actual gameplay.

I know, it seems a bit of a stretch to think they could mess it up that badly!

I wonder how first time players to ME felt about the ending. My nephew who only plays sport games gave it a try since he heard me moaning about it and the first thing he said to me after the credits and the buy more dlc came up was in his view that it felt more of a "to be continued" rather than an outright ending.

We might have thought that if they hadn't made it crystal clear that this was the end of Shepard's story and the end of the trilogy.

Hmmm that's actually really interesting and it would be cool to find out from more first time players. Especially if they only play ME3.

Except they keep telling us that this is the actual ending. So... I'm not sure. It's not like a trust the words Bioware are saying, but if they had something planned they wouldn't have been holding onto it as long as they have.

When we talked after it I did explain that it was the end of the trilogy and Shepards story. But he could only give his opinion and that it felt like it was leading into a ME4 but could understand why so many felt let down.  Needless to say he did overall thought the game was good but still rather play sports games with his m8's.

My younger brother was quite sucinct about his opinion. He watched the ending and said "wait, what?" then switched his xbox off and said "f*ck it*. Hasn't touched it since.

So BW has told us that it'd be hard to get the best possible endings, but they always let us do with this game something that was unprecedented: if we made the right decisions, we could get the outcome we want. Huge spoilers ahead, you've been warned:









Current information states that regardless of which ending you choose, regardless of whether or not Shep lives or dies, the Normandy crew gets stranded on some random world without tech, Shepard will never see them again, and the galaxy by and large is completely boned for the next 200k years or so without any kind of good spacefaring tech.


To which I just want to say...why? After so many years of giving us control, why jerk it away from us at the last second just to force us to get a "bittersweet" ending. Not that I mind there being one present, and I'd use one in a playthrough, but not ALL my playthroughs.

/agree
No matter what you choose, you lose.  There is no happy ending.  I think Bioware wanted to pull a "hurt locker".  I hate that movie.

So it turns out EA and BioWare were technically false advertising.

"One of the major complaints among those still enraged over the cryptic ending to Mass Effect 3 is that EA and Bioware essentially pulled a bait and switch. The company promised that players would be able to shape the story's conclusion to a degree that wasn't borne out by the final product. A blogger at the Better Business Bureau has now taken a look at those claims and determined that they actually have some merit.

BBB Northern Indiana Director of Communications Marjorie Stephens writes that statements written on the MassEffect3.com website "technically" meet the group's definition for false advertising. She focuses specifically on the claim that the game would let players "experience the beginning, middle, and end of an emotional story unlike any other, where the decisions you make completely shape your experience and outcome."

As Stephens explains it, the word "completely" in that statement turns in into an absolute, objective claim, leaving little wiggle room for interpretation. It pushes the claim into the realm of false advertising. She points to the group's code of advertising, which includes this admonition against superlative claims and puffery:

"Objective claims relate to tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service which can be measured against accepted standards or tests. As statements of fact, such claims can be proved or disproved and the advertiser should possess substantiation.""

@ Phoenix NL my reaction was the same as ur brother's "Wait, What?" That's why I went straight onto Google to see if I did something wrong. Sadly I didn't as the link led me to here and the sad truth about the endings.

Well I imagine it would take a lot of effort for them to understand the story and such. There's not enough exposition explaining the situation they're in, the circumstances they're facing, who the people they're running into are, etc. At best I think the game would generate a mild investment in what's happening. 

But there's enough of this expostion, and it's clunky enough that it could potentially bother people who have played the game, and already have a knowledge of it's universe and such.

Which is why you dont pander to the new crowd and abandon the people who have been supporting you over the past two games. They want to talk about artistic integrity, yet the most artisticly integral thing they could have done would have been to develope the game in such a way that you only know whats going on if you played the first two games.

Ever try to watch a new TV show and start at the finale and wonder "what the hell is going on??" its the same thing here.

I hated Mass Effect 3's ending, and I hated the Hurt Locker, but they're not the same thing. Not at all. Well minus the post traumatic stress disorder. And I guess the haunting image of a dead kid that was let down. But the themes and ideas are very different.

Also +1 for the random OP quote.
