Not that the thread is moving fast, but it'd be nice to load one page in under 5 minutes...

I'm not having any issues loading BSN so it's possible it's something on your end.

Every other page and site loads just fine...
And now BSN seems to be back to normal too.

Seems it was internet gnomes again.

And what page was that on? Just the general number will do.


Between 3650 and 3700 I THINK.



Starts at 3681, in case someone was wondering.

I don't think that everyone truly understand the depth of the misery of the ending. This was supposed to be THE END, y'know? Instead it ends just like 1 & 2, with a choice that seems meaningless. The difference being that in 1 & 2 we knew it wasn't supposed to be a full ending, that it was a trilogy. And we trusted that 3 would be the payoff of these seemingly pointless decisions.

How wrong we were...

It seems like bioware had the same attitude, we can resolve it all in the last game, and then they realised they had put nearly everything into the resolve at the end tickbox and could not do it all.

I liked it. It was the only one where I didn't have to decide which part of the ending I hated least, lol.

'Cept they didn't even do any. They just looked at the empty tickboxes, were like "f this noise", tore up the paper, and scrapped it all.

It's part of what leads me to the logical conlusion that they were always going to wrap it up in a DLC ending. That they were intending to charge us for, as in Asura's Wrath. Because hey! If they're going to charge us for a character who is already on the disc, why WOULDN'T they make us buy the ending separately? Because that's the fine line where morals start to outweigh money? Riiiiiiight.

Of course, that's speculation on my part. They've denied it on several occasions. As they denied The Prothean's presence on the disc. And denied that MP was required for the best ending. So, yeah, my speculating is not deterred in the slightest. :whistle:

Yea, but it took what 5 hours or something for some guy to check through all the files on the disc and find the ones for the Prothean?

Also, I think it was on the AngryJoeShow that he mentioned that there is a download for the Prothean... And the dl only contains the recruitment mission...

'Tis indeed a fools hope, but I share it. Not retconing the cutscenes, but the ending itself.

I need to post this :

Learn Bioware, just learn. 

*looks at it* ... Wow... Um... What exactly are we supposed to learn from 4chan exactly?
And if we do learn something from there, *yells at everyone* Get to the nearest Fallout Shelter imeadiately. We're about to be bombed. Now is not the time to panic.... Ah who the hell am I kidding *throws up arms and runs away screaming in terror*


It's 4chan, right? Nothing normal or moral is expected there but! They Are Telling Him To Buy A Game. They are yelling at him for torrenting the game. Why? Well if you read it - it's obvious. Hope you get the point now. 


I can easily tell you this - like any damn good gamer - if you build a damn good game; then treat your customers like you should and right.......We will defend you completely........

Its a damn good lesson that a lot of studios need to learn.  While I normally have a rule with Bes to only buy their games after 5 patches; game of the year version or first community patch.  I buy them; why they listen and actually show they listen.  ProjeckCD is the same......Witcher was awesome game; so is Witcher 2.

That is the lesson folks - now do you wish to go for extra credit?

I can't remember which article it was, but it mentioned 'evangelist gamers' and how they are the essential part of any good game franchise. Anyone happen to have a link to that article? Or remember which one it was?
