I've had mixed feelings about this whole ordeal of spoiling myself (started last thursday/friday). it seems like a choice of getting crushed now and then feeling the despair after actually playing thru the game, versus playing the game blind and then getting absolutely ravaged and unable to focus on schoolwork for the next few days... :(

Are you me? 

I have an important interiew a week after release. I didn't want my head tied up in ME3 because the ending I got was awful and I needed to rethink my game choices.

At least now when I get the big FU at the end I'll know I was railroaded and there was no way for me to actually screw up -- since 'you done goofed' pretty much sums up ALL the endings.

Please don't. Bad as this is, Bioware isn't actively using sexist character design.

Ashley disagrees.

At least Bioware lets me choose to play as my own gender.

But then they don't animtate it properly(DragShep)

Meh. Shep's a soldier, I can buy her walking like a dude. Lady Hawke had her own animation rig.

In other news, Stanley Woo's avatar isn't a volus anymore. Could that be a sign?

And (bad news) teleport is not a bug. Not sure if that confirms it as a "feature," though.

Damn it. I feel like crying again.

Wait... so... Shepard's squad wasn't actually there when he fought the last fight? They were just figments of his imagination while his actual squad was aboard the Normandy the whole time? Which depending on your squad build up would mean Shepard not only fought with the strength of 3 men, but was also able to use abilities he had no training in? 

Sounds legit.

What could that be telling sign of, if I may ask?

Given how many of us in the spoiler group got past the initial anger and disappointment into mild amusement and acceptance of headcanon/imaginary endings, I recommend just ripping the band-aid off now and getting past it.

Either way you'll know that the ending is terrible, but if you get it over with now you can relax and let the actual playthrough be as good as it is without the unknown nagging at you.

That he's not space Moleman?

About the the femShep movement -- how many different ways are there to hold and shoot a gun? Which ones are feminine?

Sexist character design in The Witcher? Sorry but that's just according to the established fiction by Sapkowski, who was in turn inspired by things like actual HISTORY.

But no sexist character design in ME? How about almost every Asari?  Or, more recently, EDI? Why would a machine want to look like that and wear high heels? There's no 'LOGIC' to the way she looks, why would she want to look 'visually pleasing' or whatever the BW artists had in mind? Why did she have to look like a Sorayama painting?

Before anyone jumps at me with "IT'S INSPIRED BY METROPOLIS". Yeah, ok. But guess what, Robot Maria was built that way because she had to LOOK like the actual Maria to work against her. Why does EDI even look like she does? Why does she have the high heels? Those things get in the way of navigating around damaged terrain and rocky landscapes --- which are common things on the extra-terrestrial planets we visit in ME games.

There is NO logical, mechanical reason for EDI not to look like a walking Swiss Knife. She could be a hovering bot with several arms, a construct ready to face any situation.

But no, she has to have those looks because Bioware needs to sell to that COD demographic and 'drool drool waifu' players.

If that isn't sexist, and that isn't treating women like objects, I don't know what is.

Because Geralt of Riva is totally a girl in the books, right?

How does that sound legit? How could suddenly learn to use hitherto unlearned abilities deftly? Augh! Space magic! Augh! My brain! My brain is everywhere!

wait, isnt there someone here whos read the Prima Strategy guide and revealed that there were 4 more other endings besides the 3 leaked ? I mean the leaked endings are probably played with no imported characters right ?

The other 'endings' are minor variations on the big three we know about.

Oh yeah, in some endings you get to become a reaper in addition to ruining everything for everyone in an Orwellian nightmare scenario.

lol I swear this forum is like a convention of jewish grandmothers at a seafood restaurant

I couldn't help but to chuckle at this.

I have no problems with the existance of The Witcher, I'm just providing the reason why I could never enjoy it more than any Bioware game (except perhaps that Sonic one). Even with a crappy ending, the fact that Mass Effect is one of the rare games that lets me play as a female puts it head and shoulders above The Witcher, but that's just my opinion.

[pinoy_sav]

Ugh oh well it was a good ride. But its sounds sorta legit though that EA/Bioware will release a DLC that will give us an alternate ending, just for the cash they'll make off fans

That's probably what will end up happening. "True Ending" DLC.

I dunno. I'm hoping that the release day patch has something, the Ashes DLC has something. Some news will be forthcoming. I dunno.

It's all a big mess in my head. I want to legitimize what I'm seeing. I want to stare downt that Nietzschean darkness and tell myself that there's a glint in there.

In all honesty, given how things have unfolded here and on a few other websites I sincerely doubt that even the admittedly cool and fun gameplay will rescue such a botched ending.

The Star Wars prequels had some pretty awesome stuff: clone troopers, large Jedi/Sith battles, combat Yoda (shut up, it was amazing). But none of that could save it from its critical failure which was a crappy story with stupid end. Even the fact that A New Hope comes in the wake of that doesn't stop even die-hard Star Wars fans from wishing the prequels never happened.

[TheRevanchist]

 The player's choices in the previous games are expected to have a much more significant impact on the plot than the choices in Mass Effect had on Mass Effect 2. As Mass Effect 3 is the end of the planned trilogy, the developers are not constrained by the necessity of allowing the story to diverge, yet also continue into the next chapter. This will result in a story that diverges into wildly different conclusions based on the player's actions in the first two chapters


From the description from the Wiki... such a sad time we live in...

Who are you to say people on here shouldn't express their disappointment.  They have as much right as you do to say how they feel. You may not agree with it, but to insult them is rude.

us hardcore Star Wars know there were mistakes in the prequels but it does connect to the original movies story wise . in Mass Effect 3 the game's story does not connect to the endings at all .

Hey I've got a bus that'll take you to Disneyland or Universal Studios, who wants to come? Don't worry it'll be your choice when we get there.

Just kidding, welcome to Legoland. Enjoy your subpar experience here.

But hey, for a few dollars more I can take you to Disneyland or Universal Studios.

That's what this feels like... that said I'll pay... damn you BioWare, I'll pay for that ending.
