Surely the Japanese gamers know of what's happening. I wonder how it is in their local boards...


Meh, dunno...
Is ME such a big thing in Japan? I always thaught they don't really like "non-japanic" rpgs.

Yeah, especially if they can't be modded with hentai stuff.


Uhm isn't that just a bit racist?

That was a joke.


Perfect little EDI to generic Normandy crew member moment we had there.:)

No, the protest can't last forever. My anger at Bioware can and will. This slap in the face to me has made an ***clown out of someone who bought the Collector's Editon on PC and another copy on Xbox360. I thought I would be replaying this trilogy years from now to enjoy the epic story once more.

No I have a sour taste in my mouth and a resolve to never buy a game from this company again. The Casey Hudson interview infuriates me to no end.

Even BW offers a different ending, my money is already theirs. But never again, for another game.

http://www.forbes.co...ood-business/2/ Yet another article


I love how they are looking at this from a business perspective.  In this industry, there's always going to be the "Next Man Up" scenario.  Fan Service brings in the $$$.   If they don't cater to the fans, someone will step up with open arms to claim that business.  Someone said several dozens of pages back, we're not just fans.  We are also consumers.  This consumer is $87 invested in ME 3 (Collector's Edition + IOS ME: Infiltrator).  The number jumps up tremendously if you inclue ME, ME2, DA:O, DA2, Balder's Gate series and all accompanying DLC and Expacs.

Agreed. And don't read into these game bloggers with a press pass. They think customers need to shut up and be happy to give up their money for artistic  junk. The icing on the cake was how the blogers compaired works of fine art to a video game. Thats just reaching for anything right there. :unsure:

Especially comparing them to a video game that was developed with the PROMISE of multiple, widly different endings, that took our actions in to account.  Throughout the entire series, they have STRESSED that this is our story as much as theirs.  It's not the same as changing Hamlet.

If there isn't one in the casual section of the armor console, then I'm guessing Collector Edition stuff?

Well I truly believe that complaining about the ending becuase its "sad*" is ridicolous". Do you demande every movie that oyu dont like the ending to change to. The complaint that they give no information what happens to the characters and the universe I think is an argument. Bioware always did this before, why not now?

I'm starting to see some arguments forming between some people. Please guys, we're all in this together if we start fighting amongst ourselves this whole movement will crumble and will be for naught. We have to stay strong and accept that some people were happy with the ending. And to those that like the ending, it's not that the rest of us don't get it, we all expected there would be options for tragic endings to the story. But for many of us, we wanted our main Shepards to be happy and to succeed even if it is a little cheesy. There's a reason that most of us have more than one Shepard though, we wanted to see all the endings, tragic, happy, and everything in between.

I know there have been people who have the said the same things as I have here, but this thread is moving fast and I think we need a little reminder of why we're here every once in a while.

Stay strong,
Hold the Line


My feelings exactly. I go through all the different plot choices just to see what happens in them. Though I admit, I couldn't bring myself to side with Legion or shoot Mordin, had to watch those on youtube. Still, for my main Shep, she deserves at least a moderately happy ending after everything she's been through!

And to those people who liked the ending, there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. And most of us here would be fine if those endings stayed in. What we want is for them to be expanded on, explained more, or to be given more options. Not to take them away completely. That way everybody can be happy. Those who loved the endings get to keep them, and those who didn't can get an ending that we feel is a fitting tribute to the amazing series that many of us have loved for years, and that we've invested so much time and energy into. To leave things as they are does Bioware's writing team a disservice. We've all seen what incredible things they can do with a story (take my above examples for instance). We know they can give us truly amazing endings that would give us closure and a sense that our choices actually mattered.

The end is a lie. I doubt the writers just went brain dead for the last 10 minutes of the game. The hallucination/indoctrination theory makes sense, especially since the "best" endings have Shep waking up back in London. There's either going to be DLC or another game.


I have to agree. It's totally incongruous. They put so much effort into the rest of ME3 (which I thought was a great job) and yet they totally phase out at the end? Too many inconsistencies in one place. it's looking more and more like BW are up to something. I hope I'm right and it's not just wistful thinking.

I would normally start a second playthrough right away. But I just can't knowing that ending is sitting there waiting for me.

My guess is that it's what the formal outfit from Kasumi's DLC turns into.

And it's glorious.

The keyword is "choice".

Depending on my decisions in all three games, it should be possible to reach a happy ending. That does not mean that there should only be a happy one!
Those who prefer a bittersweet, in their eyes perhaps more heroic ending, shall get it, and those who'd rather see the galaxy blow up should be served aswell.

Rapunzel in Tangled.


Ah yeah, almost forgot that one. Still, she was kidnapped as a baby and raised by a psycho :blink:

Don't get me wrong, I agree. This could be the last game that I get from Bioware that began with KOTOR almost 10 years ago. The only thing that has been tarnished here is the Bioware brand. When one of us sees a new DLC or game from Bioware, many will remember the endings of ME3 and say, "no thanks, I do not want to get my hopes up again..."

Really?  It's a Kasumi DLC bonus outfit?  I just figured that BW finally gave Shep some decent casual clothes to do his sexyness justice :wub:

Another business view: Who's gonna buy books and merchandise? Some random players, playing because magazins tell the game is great or fans, who want a deeper view in their beloved universe?

I have it too, it's among the casual outfits and it's the greatest attire ever to go into Purgatory. ^^

Yeah, 3 days and still not happy with the ending, even after replaying and really taking time to look around the last few level-bits.

Anyone else find it mind boggling that the writer at forbes seems to be more in touch with the game, community etc than the writers of video games press sites.

Really I don't know why I expect better from Kotaku, in the past few years they've talked down to their readers more and more and some of the writers seem to have a bit of an ego problem.

As for the hipster from IGN I see carbon copies of him walking around Montreal every day, is it bad that I want to punch them in the face and tell them to get a job? I kid ;)

I'd love to see what Rock Paper Shotgun comes out with regarding this, they usually have pretty smart and well written articles.
