Let me start by saying im a HUGE fan of Jim Sterling and Destructoid.

I was TERRIFIED when i saw this post he made on the site. I thought he wouldnt understand. Jim has been busy bashing all the right people (the homophobes, and sexists, those crew) so i thought he might just give this ending rage a fast glance and just say, "lol, stupid entitled babys, how could you want to change an ending for a game?"

But no, he was neutral. Which brings me to the entire POINT OF THIS THREAD.

I ask you people on the BSN who have written WALLS UPON WALLS of texts. Not raging, not trolling, but genuinely letting flow how you feel about the ending. To take those text walls and place them here

www.destructoid.com/mass-effect-3-fans-petition-bioware-to-change-the-ending-223615.phtml

on the comments section of Jims blog.

Again not hate, not spam, not troll posts. The heart felt text walls and letters of which i have read DOZEN of today. Those words dont deserve to just sit here on the BSN. So i urge you, Let Jim Sterling know.

You can trust him to help your words make a difference

The sad fact is, the ending won't be changed. We're the vocal minority here, 10,000 people is barely more than 1% of the current ME3 purchasers, a number which rises every day.

Destructoid's comments say it all. We come across as entitled crybabies who didn't get our Disney fairytale ending. End of line.

the solution for this is to contact bioware directly with measured, mature responses. tweet them, e-mail them, post on their FB pages, etc, not with whining, not with knee-jerk reactions, but with sincere, honest criticism and concern, instead of leaving everything to third-party sites or semi-indirect communication like the forums.

also the destructoid guy missed the point massively, focusing on people who offer their own fan-fiction as a solution, and on what the detractors of the protesters say, not on what the ending actually is and what the problems with it are. i almost feel insulted by his article.

i mean thats the point of what im trying to do....


the first thing they think when they hear "ME fans want their endings changed" is (their idoits!) and the first thing we say to those arguements are (their idoits!)

Im trying to... fix that. break the cycle if you'll allow me some cheese.

I read a lot of the comments and while less of  the posters were upset about the endings than here at BSN, it seemed a majority still were...even with the 'entitlement' trolls.

Edit: Furthermore, there may be a lot of people upset with the endings but won't say anything about it because they don't see the point.  They may think Bioware won't listen.  I didn't start posting about ME3 until I had beaten it, though I did read a lot of the spoilers.

Jim gets a lot of credit from me for championing Deadly Premonition, which is still one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had, despite all its flaws.

But yeah, that article wasn't "neutral" in the least. Comparisons to literary psychopaths don't exactly strike me as "seeing both sides's arguments."

And it just hits me that Deadly Premonition was able to achieve what Mass Effect 3 should have (a satisfying ending where victory is achieved, but great losses occur along the way), and the thing was barely playable. :)

The majority of people want a better ending, not a happy one. They want what Bioware tell they give to ME3 : multiple ending for multiple choice in the past two games.

And i dont want to argue with troll or ego-people about this.

O_O That was a pretty strong and prejudiced comparison he made of the fans.. I didn't see anyone go into an all out rage on BioWare, although I haven't read that much posts of course. But I think Sterling is wrong to say that.

All I have seen is just fans expressing their feedback on the story and their opinions. Otherwise, what would be the point of BSN? Don't discuss, just techsupport and bug fixing stuff?

Jims not a troll...... and he would tell you his egos big. He only makes inaccurate accusations with limited evidence. Journalists seem to never really absorb what game is properly. only fans can.  Its rare they see what really there.

unless your 4playerpodcast. they always come at it right, because their not big

I've read people who've dared dissent on Jim's page before, and no matter how well thought-out the argument, they're either taken down by Jim's fanboys or Jim himself, usually in a very rude fashion. So I'll skip lil' Jimmy's page and lobby someone who isn't a dick.

You guys forgeting check Amazon reviews of Mass effect, go check user ratings on various game sites ... people dropping 1 stars as the ending totally killed the series what we loved so much
