We made an impact, the first article regarding the fan's discontent has been published. Lets see what Bioware does now that this "problem" has gone into the press.

Funny how the bit of Chobot was in there, I couldn't imagine the same being in an article IGN would write(if write one at all).

Thoughts?

If they wanted to make Chobot appealing it would require A) that I knew who the hell that was before the game and that I didn't sit there thinking of a freakin chipmunk with an awkward human body the whole time. "Hold on, stop the interview....What's wrong with your face?"

[Paparob]

I honestly had no idea who the Hell Jessica Chobot was before Mass Effect 3. I'm 25 years old and apparently I am very disconnected from the popular culture.

[DrDetective]

I still don't know who that is.

[Muezick]

they dont talk about the crappy endings in this article

they discuss bigots and paranoia.

It's a great read. but i don't think it really touches on what EVERYBODY AND THEIR DOG dislikes about ME3

[TeamLexana]

I didn't know who she was either, lol. I'm not bothered she's in the game though. Seems random to alow soom reporter to live aboard the Normandy though... Especially considering I beat the sh.. crap out of the last reporter in ME2, hehehe.

[Teddie Sage]

I'm glad they made this article. I hope many websites will follow their example at telling how the fanbase feels.

[AxisEvolve]

The didn't even address the endings. Failure.

[Golferguy758]

Considering that the article seemingly ignored the primary concern (endings) and focused on stupid people( homophobia, really?) or Origin no, this article was pretty bad.

It takes the legitimate concerns, with their valid arguments and condenses them into the same pool as the bigots who are pathetic scum.

Now when people see the metacritic review from gamers there will attribute it to homophobia despite however many people say it's due to reasons x y and z.

The only part that makes up for the article is the last line, but that's probably going to be glossed over due to the text preceeding it.

I agree.

When talking to my friends who aren't fans and heard about the Metacritic thing, they assumed all the negative press was just bigots raging. I hate that I have issues with the ending and I'm lumped into the same category as people raging about Shepard's sexuality. And, really, being a more socially accessible issue that a wider audience can relate to, that's what will get more of the coverage and maybe even provoke the first response from BioWare instead of the endings.

I'm glad the outrage is getting noticed, but at the same time, I don't want the public and BioWare to an extent, to assume that it's all just homophobia.

It's a negative article, but negative for the wrong reasons. No mention of the endings, at all. If the communities long term goal is to have the endings addressed, this article doesn't take that first step.

[Valadar6986]

The game was a disappointment, thats the gist of it. I have followed Bioware games since NWN even Baulder's Gate. Im seriously disappointed with the fact that this game doesn't feel like Bioware anymore. Bioware always put story ahead of everything else and this game just feels watered down with ******. I personally was always happy to see a new Bioware game come out, now I am actually afraid to see what they come out with next, if they come out with another game like this, there are truly no game companies out there anymore that I think actually deserve my money.

I'll join the same club. I'm 25 years old too and didn't know who the heck she was and frankly don't really care..

[Painaid]

Doesn't even address the worst part about Mass Effect--the endings.

Yep I hear all this stuff about Chabot, and have no idea who she is. Only 20 here.

I don't care if Broshep can get it on with a dude (not my Shep's style), what bothers me is the crap endings! I hope the articles start taking how we feel about the endings into consideration rather than just raging over some random bigot's tweet.

The only thing I know she does is a show on xbox. If thats all she does then I can see pc or ps3 gamers not having a clue who she is.

Funny how that article makes all discontent with ME3 sound like bigotry and doesn't even mention the fact that most people are just mad that the ending is so bad but love the rest of the game...

Seriously, homophobes just need a good, hard punch right in the dick. They're morons, frak 'em.

Creative direction? Why yes, that's part of it. I guess you could call a turd-in-the-punchbowl ending creative direction while keeping the article necessarily spoiler-free.

Questionable marketing practices? Well, it's EA. Whaddya expect? Originally I thought TotalBiscuit had gone a bit off the deep end with his epic rant about day 1 DLC as pertains to ME3, but after getting From Ashes (I had GameStop store credit), yeah I can say he's right from experience. Javik was plot- and universe-critical enough he should have been in the retail release or free DLC in the vein of Zaeed.

As far as Jessica Chobot goes...at least she's totally optional. You can gloriously tell her no and never see or hear from her again (and thank god for that after hearing her terrible voice acting).

The only thing I know about her is she licked a PSP and all the geek journalism sources had a spontaneous, global pants-blow so epic you could see her at space, racing to throw money at her to draw in the horny neckbeard audience. Just like almost every other freakin' female in the geek journalism circuit.

23 here. I've known about her for a while. Rather offending someone like that gets into IGN not technically a journalist being able to give opinions on games and lick a damn PSP...while I drive myself to work hard, go to school, and HOPE I get into the field to do the same with having played games since I could hold a controller in my hand.

Jessica Chobot is an journalist for IGN, one of the largest game review sites in america.
she doesnt look like a chipmunk, thats just the way Jessica Chobot looks.
if you watch any of her youtube videos on the IGN channel, The Daily Fix, you will notice alot of comments about people wanting to have sex with her.

Article point 1) As long as there aren't achievements that push us into doing romances we don't want to do (coughDragonAgecough), I really don't care.

Origin... EA's draconian DRM attempts are not customer friendly. I will not purchase any more PC games from any EA. I will continue to try out X-Box games (or PS if I ever get a PS3). But this is my computer, and you do NOT have the right to take it over.  After years of C&C, Sims (including several online accounts while it was active for me and my family), and Biowares own D&D games, I'm just going to be sad and miss out. They are your games, and I'm only paying for the right to play them. You game is not worth $2060. (A little more for my Alienware, a little less for my EMachines.) If you are going to treat me like the enemy because someone, somewhere might possibly play the game that you don't want to play it, consider this my retreat. If you consider that a victory, congratulations. You win.

Game direction: I'm enjoying the Multiplayer. It's a fun addition to the game. I do think it was a bit misleading to promise that we could play as aliens, but then having to unlock them via RNG, which is notoriously unfriendly with me. (From Dragon's Gate on AOL to WoW, my luck sucks.)

The point they didn't bring up: I do think the ending could have used a good focus group. Even Terminator 2 needed someone willing to say 'damn, that is depressing'. If James Cameron can take criticism and feedback, anyone can. You want to go out of something like that feeling like you've been entertained, not kicked in the gut.
