Yes. Fanboy rage is fanboyism.
ME3 isn't the first example of this. Google is yopur friend. I'm not here to do your homework for you, thogh I will say you can go to a website for any AAA title and see pages and pages of the same thing.
And ME3s "news" postings are more for Javik and whether or not he was already on the disk or not (The charahter model was, that's it)
This seems like an awkward place to be calling other people "fanboys", when you're the one defending the developer.
ME3 is not the first example of people dissatisfied with a game's ending, you're right. That said, I kindly ask for an example of another game that's had anything resembling this almost universal backlash. You can obviously say that the angry crowd will be loudest, but we're talking tens of thousands here within the first week of release. We're talking 2% satisfaction in the polls. You simply cannot equate the magnitude of this situation to "oh well you can't please everyone."
This is exactly the point. We are not talking about "Well, 200 guys aren't happy.". We are talking about nearly 30.000 people within the first week. I imagine that, as time passes and people finish the game, this count will rise up to close to 50.000. This thread has raised to 850 pages withing not even a week. IGN and such start to share the thing, spreading the message. 12.500 likes on Facebook within a day. This is not "We were not able to please everyone.". This is, by far, the most ragestorm I have seen about a game in some time. A riot started in the forum within hours.
Bioware has to seriously consider the free DLC/DLC/Patch thing to keep people on the ball. I don't think many people will buy future Bioware games if this one was such a let down. And EA is NOT moving away. Don't get me wrong, the game itself was good. But whoever made the story at the end was...well...not to get any reason to shut this thread down.
This is not a simple matter of 100 people disliking it. We are talking in the 10th of thousands here. Within a week!
I didn't say the endings weren't part of the "news" I said that they weren't the big event at the moment. Not compared to Javik.
They are as much the problem as the Prothean is. If you just google for 20 minutes you will find tons of sides reporting about the riot going on here. This is not simply "Fanboy rage.". It is a matter that has to be dealt with. This is not a small side matter behind the Prothean. It is as present as Javik is.
