Bioware: “Even
though the information in those files is out of date and does not
reflect the final story experience, we urge fans not to read them if
they want to experience the purest form of the story in Mass Effect 3.”

so, its saying like "the end story is not like stated in the leak, and the files have been modified".

just got some faith in the game,...

   


No they just went back and made it a must that Shepard dies and is a lone in one ending . . yeah they are leing about this and now that the game's endings is out. They are in damage control because the gig is up and the story is bull crap

Wait...didn't we go through this **** like four months ago, and were told the leak wasn't the final story anyway? Or was there some other leak I don't know about?

Yeah, Bioware should have made Reapers a total joke.

They shouldn't advance gaming as an art form.

No, no.
This should be a story with standards of children cartoons.

Hero get's to live happily ever after with his/hers true love.

Yay!







I'm sorry, but Bioware is not gonna do that nor it should.
Besides, you have many other games that do that, pick those.

How about this, make a super-artsy ending that advances the medium etc etc as well as making a relatively less bull**** ending and let people CHOOSE.


You can choose to go into the final mission unprepared, get you LI killed, and then get Earth destroyed....

As others have said this isn't some Shakespeare epic. It's a science fantasy game. It resembles things like Star Wars and Star Trek. Were you also angry when at the end of the Star Trek movie 6, the crew flew off into the sunset together? Or when Luke and all his friends were partying on Endor? I mean obviously in a video game where you choose what happens no one is allowed to choose to be happy.


or how about Deep Space Nine where Sisko has to seperate from the crew and they all go different directions.....the BEST written Star Trek series.


Yeah, but the Prophets could always just "boop" him back if he's ever needed to fulfill some plot point.

This is more like Voyager, where the crew is stranded far from home, not sure where they are at first...only their ship doesn't work anymore. Welp, no hope of the Alpha Quadrant for you, Normandy crew!

So they have a flat base from which to work the next game from.

They already said the suicide mission caused them all kinds of headaches, so an 'all roads lead to Rome', style ending will make it easier for them to start the next game smoothly.

Still not an excuse for what they did to our crew. That didn't need to happen.

Although the ending was quite sad, it was still far better than what were going to see now: at least the galaxy, the Federation etc, everything continued to exist.

Can't say the same about Shepard's universe.


But seriously: the endings are old news. The only "kick in the face" comes from the fate of the Normandy. No one saw it coming. However, that one is a deal breaker, because it makes the "personal ending" - the one that matters far more to the player since it's character related - sad in every way possible.

Shepard should die since death seems to be far more mercyful than life.

Yeah, why should the final game in an RPG trilogy have numerous and varied endings?

They just burned the Mass Effect Ip down to the ground . now us fans who made it will burn them for this stupid ass ending garbage .

dont you think thats a bit selfish?

Even that has a silver lining; it gets Worf back on the Enterprise where he belongs. 


Worf was a FAR better character in Deep Space Nine.

Gonna have to disagree. Worf's argument and subsequent reconciliation with Picard in First Contact is some of my favorite Michael Dorn acting.

Shepard should die since death seems to be far more mercyful than life.



Which is fine because the theme is about sacrifice.

Hopefully that's the case and we just don't know it somehow based on these leaks.  I guess we'll find out next week....

DA2 was rushed, and look how that turned out. It's exactly what happened here! Why is there basically 1 ending? There should've been 3 or at least 2 a paragon and a renegade. There is no good ending. Why do I think they are lazy? Because they delayed it and then a demo leak came out that looked horrible, and they released the real demo 2 weeks ago and it didn't look too different. How can you not get a little selfish when it's your story, your shepard, it should be your ending.

Or allow us to screw up enough that we outright lose to the Reapers.

Shepard sacrificed enough.

And the Normandy deal seems to be the only thing Shepard can not change. It happens. They're gone. None of Shepard's sacrifices will prevent that ending.

And that's why it's a slap into the fans faces, not more, not less. BW simply wanted to remove ANY chance of a happy ending - even a continuation by fanfiction, comics, books is impossible. Normandy + crew and Shepard are destined to end that story alone and there's no way for them to reunite.

Even in a game with the theme "sacrifice" it's missing the target. If just feels cruel.

Think about it, life is about the journey NOT the destination...why? because the only proven destination is death.

...

Nevermind the whole point of that relationship is journey not destination.


The issue is, at least as I see it, in ME3 (as I've read thus far, anyways, I could be mistaken) is the entire honkin' journey up to and including the majority of ME3 itself is rendered trivial by a Space MacGuffin Hunt. ...that follows the true-to-Bioware-cliche four-part Rally the Armies sequence during which previous choices and actions throughout the trilogy matter only in terms of changed dialogue and characters, just to add insult to injury.

Really, it looks like after a certain point, all those choices and their long-term consequences are just an arbitrary plus or minus to the inconsequential-cutscene-o-meter. Here I figured something like sparing a victimized, andmisunderstood, ancient alien race from (or condemning them to) extinction would actually matter fighting the Reapers and not Eleventh Hour Space MacGuffin. People want to grouse about the Reaper threat being so overplayed that only a deus ex machina could resolve it...well, there it is, plain as day.

Me, I would have been happy with a simple, straightforward civilization-endingly epic space battle the outcome of which depended on Shepard's choices, with the Crappy Ending-o-Matic being the last-ditch desperation move for a Shepard who managed to FUBAR things worse than even a full renegade could.

Gonna have to disagree. Worf's argument and subsequent reconciliation with Picard in First Contact is some of my favorite Michael Dorn acting. 


The problem with TNG is that there is no character development outside Picard due to the nature of the series. DS9 is more serial, especially in the later seasons, which allows Worf to fall in love, kill Gowron, reject the leadership of the Klingons, lose his loved one, an dgrow as a character. Worf has no such development on TNG.
