Shepard's theme must be 10th Doctor's theme when he regenerates. Shepard don't want to go!

Has Bioware responded at all to our complaints?


A quip here or there on their community page.  Nothing official. Pre-launch, I bet the mood in the office was uplifting.  Their games have been well received by the fans.  Balder's Gate, MDK, Never Winter Nights, KOTOR, Dragon Age.  DA2, was a slight mis-step, but I liked it for the most part.  The ME series was, imo, their crown jewel. 

All that built up good will washed away in ten minutes.  It's salvageable, but their lack of response is what will ultimately do them in.


see what annoys me is how they give snarky comments back to us on twitter and yet the forum rules that they made said we should be respectful....

Why did Bioware do this! This doesn't end the Shepard's story, it kills the entire franchise. Everything else in this game is great. I love the refined resource gathering, the use of the citadel as a giant social and shopping hub for the game, the design of the levels, the intricate detail given to even the side missions of the game, the ability to finally be able to deal with some of the galaxy's biggest issues.

And what does Bioware do after that, thumbs their noses at us and burns everything we worked to save right in front of our eyes. This is a sick joke. Casey Hudson came out and said that "some" people would not like the endings. Guess what, nearly everyone hates the endings. I'm really at a loss for words to describe just how mad I am. This is a betrayal, not only did the developers lie to us, but the very goal of the game, the tag line for the entire ME3 marketing campaign was a lie. "Take back Earth" are you kidding me!? We didn't take Earth back, we damned every race in the galaxy. Instead of saving the galaxy, we doomed it to a slow, painful, anarchy driven death. Bioware not only lied to us and gave us a completely crap ending, they butchered everything we knew and loved about the Mass Effect franchise.

This is wrong, plain and simple. If Bioware doesn't change the endings, then I will never by another Bioware product again. If they do change the endings, then I'll be satisfied. Other people may think that we are acting like we are just whiny, entitled fanboys. Truth is, we're people who want to see a wrong made right. We paid $60 MINIMUM for this game, in a very bad economy. Damn right we''re going to complain if something we purchased has a major issue that can be changed for the better. This isn't some small issue. ITS THE END TO AN ENTIRE TRILOGY.

Disclaimer: I have been a Bioware fan since BG:1 and I love all of their games (well, except DA:2...).

In spite of the above, I must say that I am really disappointed/angry with the endings (no closure, no choice, magic, etc).

I wanted to take a minute to think about the three "grand" choices we get at the end:

a) Grab the electrified handles of doom and command the Reapers.

Why on earth do you need to be burned to ashes in order to command a bunch of (bio-)machines to do something? Really,  whoever designed the Citadel's control panels had no idea about interface design or ergonomics.

B) Shoot a random bunch of wires and get the Crucible to blow up every AI in the galaxy .

I think a button might have made more sense, but what do I know about usability, shooting wires might work for some people...
Also, I am kind of impressed at how the red light manages to destroy only synthetics and not all electronics. It is the only weapon of mass destruction I know about that manages to set up a Turing Test for each of its targets.

An finally, my favorite:

c) Jump into the pillar of light so that you disintegrate and thus your "energy" (???) is used to empower the Crucible to splice every living and synthetic thing in the galaxy...

I don't even know what to say about this, I had to be drunk when I got this ending because I can't possibly imagine someone seriously added this to Mass Effect.

I was loving the game up to the last 20 minutes (though the ending is not the only thing that hints at not enough development time, consider Tali's image for instance), but the ending really destroyed it for me.

I wish Bioware did something about it, but I think they are between a rock and a hard place.
On the one hand, if they release DLC to fix the ending they will get bashed for selling features that should have been included with the game (also, they would have to admit that their "masterpiece" was flawed). On the other hand, they have us.
I hope they go for the first option because I know I will grudgingly buy it.

Come on Bioware, please fix this. DA:2 was strike one for me; this is strike two, please don't get to three.


Chuckled.. being as a large portion of my real life career is interface design I actually laughed out loud at part of this.   I suspect they're now trying to come up with an ending that doesn't anger the people who like the current one and doesn't anger those who think it was sloppy and unfinished... I'd like to point out the equation of most people posting here probably are really into the series and would be their prime target audience to BUY DLC... I'd take a blatantly obvious lie or even a possible truth of "The grand finale end is in the DLC".. take the flak, it's not like you're going to shoot yourself in the foot, but not doing anything now is worse than picking a side and taking it.

Well i think they made a twitter post saying the ending is basically open to interpretation, and thats pretty much it.

"You make your own end, and why dont you try to fill the Citadel-sized plotholes while you at it. You guys are good at that"- BioWare to it's fans.


Several members of the community have already proved that they can do it...

Okay, first patch fixes:

All platforms

Fixed issue with disconnection during purchase flow
Fixed issue with multiplayer consumables.
Fixed issue with multiple "Connection failed" messages sent to users.
Fixed several minor DLC related issues
Fixed hang when returning to Mission Computer from Squad in Pause Menu when both the system language and in-game text language are set to Japanese.
Fixed potential crash when loading with quick resume.

only PC

Fixed crash on Windows XP on minimum spec PC.
Fixed lighting and shading on minimum spec PCs.

only Xbox 360

Fixed issue with 64Kbps connection.


I knew they would put text language for Japanese available. That is probably the reason why Japan got it last too

And nothing interesting for us :crying:

EVERYONE MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE.

In a little while I will be posting a link to a site where you may donate funds to a charity known as Childs Play, a charity designed by gamers for gamers. We believe this will help our cause by proving to all those saying we are being selfish and entitled that we are not, we are fighting for someone we believe in. The charity itself is worthy of help beyond our cause but I will selfishly say for the moment I am bringing it up because it can help us.

Donation is of course voluntary and were not looking for 400$ Donations from anyway, that would hurt us more than help us, what were after is each person of the tens of thousands we have here and the thousands more who won't post, to chip in anywhere from a single dollar, to ten dollars. The link I will have for everyone and anyone who WANTS to donate, very shortly, so keep an eye out for any posts from me in the mean time, thank you for listening my companions.

I am pretty bummed about the ending :(

I played through ME2 six or seven times to have so many different possibilities with ME3. Funny part is after beating it today on my paragon run I watched all three endings. They all were awful...I likely won't replay this game they way I did part 2. Big let down for sure.

If I had to pick a song that epitomizes how I've felt since finishing the game and everything on here it would be Have You Ever by The Offspring.
Primarily from 1min to 1 min 45 seconds or so.
P.S. I would link the song up but I'm technologically retarded. Hard to believe an avid gamer who doesn't know squat about using computers.

Damn. I'm just trying to watch my wrestling, but every commercial break I'm reminded of ME3.


The opening of Raw was almost (almost) as bad as the ME3 ending.

Hold the line*

*for blue babies!


ME3 should just end with the Funkasaurus from Planet Funk arriving and beating the Reapers in a 45 second squash match.

At least I could see that as entertaining.

http://www.ign.com/v...3-opinion-video Colin is right. You're all absurd. Nothing will come from this. I'm glad I loved the ending. Sucks you people don't, but this isn't gonna change nothing. So use all the Captain Kirrahe quotes you want, make FB pages, spam twitter and call and rally the troops blah blah blah!!...its over. Get over it.

But be sure to buy the DLC and play as Shepard before he becomes a "legend" or in other words die in a fountain of skittles.

The ending of ME3 seemed so lazily put together to me.   The second Shepard gets hit by the beam from the Reaper... it falls right off a cliff.  Seems like there's no real choice to make to make anything different happen.  The actual ending... after the small chat with the "child"... there's no more, voice acting... It's just some scenes thrown together... A different colored explosion... with 0% consequence shown to make it seem different.  Then for some reason, Joker is fleeing the battle as fast as he can.   Why?... I guess he was a coward after all... and the team is somehow with him.  They never explain it... or anything for that matter...  Don't give me 3 choices to show me different color explosion... never in the entire mass effect series has the quality been so low to make that kind of laziness appropriate... You can kill off Shepard... But a hero's send off needs to be heroic... a more satisfying ending would just to fade to black right after a decision is made...
