Was Multiplayer really worth it??? I mean ME 3 was supposed to be released around early
Oct/November last year but was pushed back because of EA/Bioware need to reach First Person
Shooters, by making multiplayer, (hence Battlefiled 3 fans could get early access) thats my wild
guess, and because of the delay, a few weeks later in later 2011, a leaked script of ME 3 was accidentally
released, meaning ME 3 was re written to counter the leak in the story and still be able to surprise
the fans. (Imagine if Bioware had just released the game prior to that event, ME 3 would have been a perfect story. than provide Multiplayer to those FPS months later like in march and make them pay for it as DLC) the bottom line is the ending of Mass Effect 3 was bad ending SAID by 1000s of LEGION hardcore fans like me! .....THATS OUR CONCENSUS!...........My advice,,, Greed shouldn't mix with passion game making,,,,,just look at Star Wars
Episode 1, 2, 3,,,,George Lucas wanted to make big money and out do James Cameron who out
did everyone with Titanic! I researched this and its true according to many!....To Bioware...I want to
express deeply that the game played well of course BUT the last 15 minutes of the story was very
terrible & disappointing ,,,,,,story telling,,,(notice i didn't say say sad?),it was exactly like Dues ex ending which was weird,
,moreover, no planet exploration like ME 1,,,,what ever hard work we did in the last 5 years mounted to 3 decisions at the end of
ME 3 that didn't change the ending outcome either way! That was not fair to Hardcore Fans!
Also the story I expected in ME 3 was not what i had hope to see, now I thought Mac Walters did a fine job in the Story Telling and Casey Hudson was protecting Mass Effect game from being ruined so I thank them a lot, Im Thankful that Bioware made MASS EFFECT but im just confused about important things,,Like I really think you should hire fans who know the story well and who could have input to make the game and story have more continuity : For example: if you hired a hardcore fan=
-One would say that they would expect the Finale of Mass Effect 3 would progress to these end results!
1. would if you had written the story where shepard and his crew had to discover the origin of the reapers was from another galaxy, that we travel there in the end just to find their home and run with for at least one or two missions. to take them out! That would be a surprise and blow fans minds if so! thats a surprise right? how did we take back earth if shepard says to the prothean that to have the people around and their relation is worth living or fighting for! but we not only took back earth we, lost everything that made earth great to the galaxy, its economy, love in the vids that other aliens seek, so shepard dies any ways and the prothean lives who has no friends left and hes the only prothean alive?...and since the mass relays are gone what happened to everybody else, what was the point for war assets, i mean i didn't even play multiplayer, since i was so into the story for ME 3 and was eager to discover the ending to this saga! but my heart for the story was crushed!
2. Why couldn't we explore just a few planets in order to find some ancient alien tech that was crucial to building the crucible,. like land on the actual planet and explore with a vehicle and find the parts or pieces that are hidden from the reapers. the vistas and the feeling of actual planet exploration would feel right? i would like to see big vistas and enter another plant's forest or rift valley!!!
3. why couldn't we say that dark energy like from the star of haestrom had a significant role in taking down the reapers.
4. if the reapers are in dark space, why could we have a story that included and had a function in the reasoning why the reapers had to reside there and just made exploration and outer galaxy travel kinda interesting,
5. it would make since to me that reapers harvest organics because they needed also as energy to fuel their machine bodies and to build more reapers.
6. if reapers were to take advance races and be built to look like that race why did every reaper look the same? what was the point of the human reaper in ME 2, why didn't we see collectors, since they were reported on Paloven?
7. if the reapers were around since the beginning what were their intentions in creating organics in the first place, and yes they said they were afraid that the created would turn on their creators but the creators had no clue how pleasant being an organic was! and who was the star child since the last 15 minutes of that story ending was so irrelevant to 99.9% of the Mass Effect story prior!
8. why didn't we find out how many times exactly the reapers harvested us or how many cycles there was,,,,what were the aliens before us like with details and cultures presented, and why couldn't Javik had known more about the ilos planet and tell us ME 1 stuff, what was the sphere all about, the shiny one where the protheans had left behind?
9. ME 3 also seemed short, it normally takes me 80 hours to play ME 1 but ME 3 took like 45 hours, which means less of everything for some reason,,,,
10. Lastly, Bioware regardless of how much effort you made to complete ME trilogy,,,,over the last 3 years i have lost faith in expecting the right story telling and rudimentary ME 1 play style , i mean the FPS experience is great, the music is great, the graphics was great, but something was missing, where it feels like you guys didn't hit the nail right on the head for Hardcore MASS EFFECT fans!
SO now when i play ME 1 again, I feel like working hard is point less because at the end, the difference in the decisions in a,b,c is i get 3 different colors on how the mass relays are self destroyed, one video scene of joker with EDI versus the other 2 that look the same, and one video shot of the Citidel not being destroyed but closed permanently, and all the alien races stuck in the sol system who wil be cramped I would think! and the Quarians won their home world for nothing because their stuck in the sol system and Joker with your crew are stuck on some unknown planet, and why was Joker fleeing the sol system, I thought he had Shepard's back?
THERE ARE SO MANY LOOSE ENDS! I DON'T FEEL CLOSURE AT ALL SORRY
P.S. i HAVE READ EVERY MASS EFFECT NOVEL, COMIC, OWN OVER 20 MASS EFFECT LITHOGRAPHS, I'VE SPENT 100s OF DOLLARS ON MASS EFFECT SWAG AND I LOVE THE STORY BUT THE FINALE HAS REALLY SOLIDIFIED THE ASSUMPTION BIOWARE STORY TELLING IS WHAT IT USED TO NOT TO BE! I BEAT ME 3 6 HOURS AGO AND IM FEELING HEARTBROKEN ABOUT THE STORY'S ENDING! OVERALL I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET HOOKED ON A BIOWARE EVER AGAIN!
