If Bioware had made me feel this strongly about an ending I liked, they could conquer the world with me
at their feet.  As it is, slightly less willing to do that atm, although my affections can be bought back, Bioware, if you're listening.


Mine too.  I'm a **** for good endings, just FYI.

^^^ARGGHHH!!! This guy get's paid for this??????? Somebody didn't do their friggen homework.

"Tool"? You are far too polite


As someone mentioned one of their own employees are in the game so this is not unexpected.

I hate to say it but Bioware as a company now has all the credibility of Peter Molyneux.

They said multiplayer wouldn't effect single-player, but it has, the first announced DLC...even AFTER ALL THIS...is multiplayer and it's insanely difficult to build up your EMS if you don't import.

They said that the Reapers COULD WIN or that we could earn a GOLDEN ending, instead, we get three flavors of ice cream, except it's not ice cream, it's frozen crap with food coloring.

God ****ing damn it, I never thought I'd see the day...

Joining my brothers and sisters in the fray. Holding the line.


I'm afraid you may be disappointed: there isn't much action to be had on the front. Bioware hasn't even sent over a runner to attempt discussions.

The most exciting thing to happen yet was an attempted ding-dong-ditch.

I never thought I would be doing this. Complaining in a web forum. No offense. But those endings were THAT bad. A shame, really. I don't feel like playing these games again. And I was hoping some epic endings, to be able to play from 1 through 3 again. But doesn't make sense anymore.

“You all know the mission, and what is at stake.
I have come to trust each of you with my life -- but I have also heard murmurs of discontent. I share your concerns.
Think of our heroes; Mordin Solus who sacrificed himself to cure the Genophage. Or Thane Krios who defended the Salarian councilor from Kai Leng.
These giants do not seem to give us solace here, but they are not all that we are.
Before the third game, there was the forums. Before the second game, there were Fans of the first!
Our influence stopped Sovereign, but before that we held the line!
Our influence stopped the Collectors, but before that, we held the line!
Our influence will stop the Ending; in the battle today, we will hold the line!”

To all my friends holding the line, we must not let Major Kirrahe down.

*exchange* 



Mass Effect supports Hipsters?!

PREORDER CANCELLED!!!!!!

 


Okay ...lets go over few things  in this tweet exchange

  I'm  not a moron , I understood the endings peferctly fine.. .the problem is that with conctext of the narrative  that is given to us up until that point. Which I might had was running all the lines of "Earn Your Happy Ending"   it is completely  diconnnect from that. It went from Earning your happy ending to Failure in the Option given in 3 flaovers by a Diablos Ex Machina with a logic that is self fulling.    

I really getting tired of this hipsters trying to shove this  "True Art is Angtsy" nonsense down out throats. Because they  know about   lot art that is deep because of dark tone but understand nothing about it... 

there is a huge difference between knowing something and understanding something and alot of them know alot and understand very little.  


I totally agree. I just can't believe Bioware is responding so...positively. They give those who oppose the endings such vague comments, but give supporters a pat on the back. The whole 'don't give into mainstream opinion' really rubs me the wrong way.
I can imagine Bioware now, with those glasses and scarves in their local coffee room.
"A sastisfying conclusion? Pfff. That is so mainstream. How about a vague and confusing ending with no epilogue of any sort. They probably have never heard of it."

Here's to hoping that BioWare gives us some kind of official response soon. Heck, I'd be okay with them just telling me what happened in a way that made complete sense, closing those plot-holes and explaining why exactly the Normandy is fleeing the battle.

And for those of you that need a laugh after the end, here. I found this link somewhere in the last couple hundred pages, and it sure helped me get over my depression. I really hope it helps.



How have I not see that until now? I started laughing so hard I nearly cried. :D

Thank you for re-posting it. I needed that.

 My cousin came over and asked what I'd been up to this week. Poor girl didn't know the can of worms she was opening. I then went on a 20 minute long rant about the ending. I thought I had reached some sort of acceptance with the ending by pretending it doesn't exist but apparently not. 
She then preceded to complain about some sort of panda bear expansion for WOW. I told her if I had been given a 4th panda option I would have taken it. To mangle a Spaced quote, "The star child makes the ewokes look like *bleeping* shaft."

The thing is, that article makes it sound like we hate the endings just because they're gloomy, which is FAR from the truth. Why doesn't anyone understand we hate the endings because THEY MAKE NO SENSE, not because they're dark?

It's probably all the rage in France

Note this is not a shot at anyone in France, just a shot at BS hipster talk.

Except we really don't want a happier ending, just one true to the core mechanics of the game - dialogue choice. It could be filled with Shepard dying alone in a ditch while his/her LI just finished cheating on him/her, so long as it made sense with the choice up until that point

Here is the link for you: www.ign.com/videos/2012/03/12/mass-effect-3-opinion-video


Guy really is missing the point. Or just trolling, I don't know. The game was advertised by the line "every your choice matters". In the end, none of our choices matter. That's the point. And it's called "false advertisement" which is being punished by law in any country I know or care about. That's the point too, but none of us want to go that far. We still hope this issue can be resolved peacefully.

Of all the big gaming sites, IGN is hands down the worst. If you hadn't realised that long ago, consider yourself enlightened.

He may be a giant tool, but he's got the viewpoint most other "normal" people have.  That we're being whiney and feeling entitled.  Calling him a giant tool may just reinforce his view.

We don't want what he thinks we want.  All we want is a relevant ending that is based off our *real* decisions.  Just give us something akin to what you've been giving us all along...a real *choice* in the matter, not just 3 colors of light that burn the flesh.


I facepalmed when he said the best way to protest was not buying it... How can we protest it, if we had not bought it and saw the ending? And dropping the score on metacritic and other places because of the **** ending is another "bad" way to do it? How in the hell are we suppossed to express our opinions you douchebag?

IGN, where gaming news goes to die.

Hey, don't speak for everyone. I want some sort of happy-ish ending. Closure just seems like the dominant and universal request. I played Mass Effect just so Shepard could retire with Liara, regardless of how "disney" or "lame" that is.

lol I spent the afternoon with my mom Sunday and I pretty much just talked about ME3 and how sad I was.  I was laughing about it so she wasn't worried.  I'm 39 years old married mom of 3 and it makes me feel silly.

I can't shake how depressing this makes me.
