We are bringing back Kung-Fu Pandas and adding Pokeman to our game. Heck we keep delaying the expansion for our sci-fi game... and our fans still like us better!

Pretty sure they don't care. They have our money and the money of millions of other players. They're set.

"Good let's hear it"

"Well it's a postive review but sir...."

"What is it?"

"They said they haven't played the ending yet."

"Damnit.. what are our other options."

I really wouldn't say they "don't care".

If they didn't care they wouldn't have accommodated their fans in the past.

Yes they have their money ... for now. And I'm willing to bet they know full well that their fans aren't happy.

I'm not willing to write them off yet. However ... I would give anything to know HOW that ending was approved.

Yellow ending = Refuse to use the Crucible. Shots of units fighting that you have acquired. Shots of space battle. Reapers win or a Reaper attaching to citadel. A sudden yellow blast goes out, destroying the relays. Reaper killed by fleet action. Shots of those who did not make it and those who did celebrating. A funeral for Shepard or Shepard with some kids wither with a random human or LI. Some kids LI's race if alien. A couple outher shots establishing what happened to others. All with awesome music but no voice overs to save money. (Mass effect main theme perhaps?)

I could go for that.

Casey Hudson and the Head writer were playing Deus Ex together and thought it would be a great idea to incorporate into ME3.

To be as honest and fair as I can right now, it was probably a matter of time constraint. They found themselves down to the last minute and didn't have the option of thinking it through.

This is pretty much all I've seen on the Twitter front at least. Though they've been replying to some of the people being d*ckbags too.

yeah, this one made me laugh

[Northern Sun]

It probably came up during the staff meeting, but the realist in me doubts they are going back to the storyboard to draw up new endings.

At least it's ending wasn't so bad that it ruined Origins.

I've actually sat through the launch of games I've worked on (2 x AAA sports titles) and I can tell you, we definitely were paying attention to both critical and user reviews and feedback. The problem is, how do you respond to the kind of crushing tidal wave of disappointment that is coming from the fanbase currently? And knowing that this is likely only the leading edge of the disappointment - the reason this is blowing up *now* is that players are just starting to finish the game. I can tell you, I made a lot of free time for this game, and I only finished it two days ago. Then I spent a day or so in shock, and then I got mad. I suspect this will only get louder.

That being said, there's almost nothing anyone at Bioware can say. Any statement about this would have to come from the top, and once that happens it becomes policy, so nobody's going to say *anything* until they get official word on what management intends to do (if anything). Management is going to keep their mouths shut as long as possible so they can see what the best direction is to jump. I would bet you green money that behind closed doors there are a lot of concerned phone calls going around. Keep it up, and you'll have an impact. And don't forget to make your opinions known at Metacritic. Privately, people in the industry have been freaked out by the enormous influence of metacritic scores on sales for years - so hit 'em where it hurts.

I'm assuming you're a game dev, judging from the post. So hopefully they really are listening.

That's sure as hell what it felt like. Seems like they just decided to throw it together at the last second and didn't feeling like spending any time or money on it. I, too, want to hear their explanations of the endings. I want to see what bull**** they come up with this time.

Did anyone watch Lost all the way through? Or Battlestar Galactica?

Bad feeling this is going to stay the way it is after thinking about it.

I thought BSG ending was pretty epic and they kept the ending open in a good way i.e. will the cycle happen again?

The same thing in ME3 would have been if Shep and his/her team survived, saved the day and then they show a scene after a long time where huge funds are allocated for AI research .....

I'm sure they're trying to process the flood of information. There's a lot of mad people.


I'm curious as to whether there was any beta testing for the finale... like I can't imagine a game tester sitting down and giving them the green light for this mess.

Vote with your wallet people. That makes EA pay attention. Don't buy any DLC untill its changed, It won't be a struggle, because right now I have no urge to as the story is meaningless. If EA pay attention, Bioware will too.

Flemeth: Yes, that's right. The races will always use magic to create conflict. So I created Darkspawn to kill them before they make Darkspawn and kill each other. Yes I am the Darkspawn overlord. Now choose the fate of the world.
You can destroy the Darkspawn, but this will also kill all the mages in the world, as well as level every major city, obliterate every road and sink every ship.
You can become the new Darkspawn overlord, but you will die. How you can be the Darkspawn overlord after dying I'm.. not actually sure. But you will. Maybe. Oh and it'll still obliterate every road and sink every ship.
Lastly you can fuse every living being with the Darkspawn, this will insure no more conflict... somehow. But you will die for no particular reason. Yes all the world's infrasctructure is still destroyed, silly.

Best damn thing I've read all day...  fell off my chair laughing so hard.
