Let's send a clear message to EA/Bioware that this pathetic excuse for a conclusion to the trilogy is unacceptable.  Let's go to every review site, store, and any other site that has ratings for this game and just mark it right in the toilet.  That way when EA tries to market the next ME turd (and they will) they can scroll all the 1 ands 0s that ME3 recieved.

I'm doing that already.

You might want to reign in the troops that are insulting the employees who reach out to them. They're nullifying any sort of action the level headed people are taking.

[Golferguy758]

Level headed approaches will get a lot further than squawking as loud as you can.

I'm being polite. You really can't control anyone else.

^ You're going to get crazies when the cause gets big enough, it's kind of like how the Alliance is mostly good but than you have the Terra Firma party...

Also, spamming topics isn't going to help your point, dude, I support what you're trying to do, but please keep it to one thread.

Hey I'm like Shepard I didn't ask to be a leader. I just stated an idea (one which I'm sure others have have). I see no reason to insult Bioware employees even if they did just spit in our face. Insulting employees isn't productive where going and sandbagging reviews can be (assuming enough people do so).

What employees have reached out?

Twitter feeds have been speaking to players. Players, when asked questions, don't answer and resort to insults off the bat.

[deathscythe517]

JB has a point, Bioware has been less-than-forthcoming about how they're taking everything. The few tweets from the staff we've managed to scrounge up are either vague and worthless or nicely worded 'well you aren't a TRUE fan' arguments.

But...-sigh-

Waste of time for me. Have fun though. More power to you.

It really really doesn't help a lot of the people here don't use twitter. On top of that giving a legitimate review through twitter would likely be branded spamming because it would take a lot of text and if I remember right Twitter has a 100 word limit or something...

Now that's unfair. It's not like it's a terrible game just because the ending was lazy, and it would make you no better than the people who were giving it junk reviews on Metacritic over gay romances.

The problem with hitting the review sites is you are also going to be in bed with people who are lowering the score because of some off the wall reason like their being homosexual relationships or fewer than 20 stats per character etc.

Rather I say someone should start a thing like Operation: Rainfall which was started by Nintendo fans and was fairly successful (I can't, 3 jobs is enough stress and management each day ).

Also, agreeing with KitePolaris, gotta nullify the people who are being insulting, it doesn't help.

They aren't asking for reviews, they're asking for suggestions. It doesn't pardon people's behavior over there. And there's already the review sticky for people which I'm happy to see being used finally.

I didn't say the whole game but we can't just rate the last 15 mins of the game by itself.  Those last 15 minutes made 100s of hours of enjoyment/work meaningless.  I was ready to play through ME1 and ME2 several more times but now I don't think I could stomach putting the disc in the tray.

Most people's problem with the homosexuality is a matter of implementation.  Instead of ramming it down our throats they should have let your choices dictate sexual leaning.  What's wrong with giving players a choice?

[Aratarien]

I think just hitting the review sites isn't enough. Any site solely dedicated to video games gets most (if not all) their funding from these big studios. We can have a fan revolt, but it's doubtful the game sites and so on will ever do anything. To speak out against a major studio title and then stick to it likely risks their financial future.

We need to look at ME3 as just the most recent example of the exploitative, misleading, and such crap the big studios have been tossing out for years now. Were they any other type of industry, there would have been a media outcry about it. But, there isn't. Why? Because video games aren't looked at seriously anywhere else outside of gaming communities.

I think, rather than hitting gamins sites, everyone should start sending emails to the big news companies. Send an email to every commentator. Don't make it just about ME3, make it about how this industry has acted like tyrannical jerks that abuse their market base to attempt to salvage their failing business practices. Take it to everyone! If commentators and networks across the board get thousands of emails about this, maybe someone will finally look into it.

Personally I didn't feel it was shoved down my throat at all, it seemed very real and well done (I have quite a few gay friends, one of which is the DM at a table top I play where his husband is also a player).  Heck, I didn't even know Traynor was gay until I saw it in a walkthrough.  Cortez was the only one I knew because it's part of his family history.  Both are handled well because they weren't homosexual charatcersfor the sake of having homosexual characters it seemed.

These forums are FILLED WITH AMAZING POSTS by community members that are neither insulting nor offensive. It's their own damn community site. WHY are they using third party communication like twitter, talking to the people who might not even played the game, when they have this forum?

I purchased ME3 within hours of the release. Rushed home to go through the tedious installation process... and started playing using my best (I thought) imported FemShep. With the exception of those boring, slo-mo, stupid "dream sequences" I thought the game was incredible. Everything (and more) that I had hoped for...

UNTIL THE LAST 30 MINUTES OF THE GAME!

The ending was so incredibly bad that I feel like going to Edmonton and dragging the BioWare people responsible for this POS into some dark alley and...

Well obviously that ain't gonna happen. But I am sure as hell telling all my friends on every game forum and venue I am part that of that the game is a rip off, has a terrible ending and to avoid ME3 like the plague cuz playing it will give them brain cooties!

At this point, I wouldn't replay ME3 if they patched it free and completely changed the ending. I will NEVER purchase a DLC for this game regardless of any positive reviews. I sincerely hope that ME3 sales go in the toilet and BioWare is forced to fire the folks responsible for this POS.

1. Facebook "cause" seems like a good point to start. https://www.facebook.com/masseffect has 500,000 likes. It doesn't mean all of them will join your action, but it's certainly great platform to start.

2. Remember this:
I suggest we use their advertisement bs against them and use their slogan "The war for Earth has begun, decide how it ends".
It could be something like "We want to decide how it ends".
