Fell asleep..... What did I miss?


On a note compeltely unrelated to the charity, I found out how Kaidan reacts if you cheated.


Really???  How bad does he take i?


<_<....

Some parts were heinously awkward.  But I think we're finally getting the point where we could be friends again.  I'm still not sure how that date thing will play out.  Haven't gotten that far yet.


This is your Garrus romance runthrough right?  How is that going?Posted Image

I am glad we raised money for a charity, but I just dont think there going to do anything about the ending..either way glad we helped the kids.


It's waaaay too early to tell. Don't lose hope yet.  Today was a tough day, but we've got tomorrow, and the next day, and the next few weeks to look forward to.  Despite everything, I still believe in Bioware.  They're a good company. Try to keep your chin up. ;)


Thank's i'm trying too...I am seriously thinking I am just frustrated because they killed my will to want to play games....

Can you update the Kaidan thread when you find out?

And here's some on topicness to justify this post:
Here's a bit of inspiration for those feeling down in the dumps.

Woo, past $50k! Awesome, I knew we'd be there when I got home! Good work everyone!


For those that care, Shepard will be up next in the character banners, both for a charity specific and more general Retake banner, followed by Miranda and probably EDI, unless I get requests for others.


Kaidan please <3


Seconded.

Also we're almost at $52,000 guys! :D


Thirded!

You guys have hit 52k. That's AMAZING! And in such a short time? I've reblogged it on pretty much every social network I'm on to get the word out, and I'll try donating soon.

Please keep up the great work, and hopefully Bioware realizes their mistake enough to help fix things.

Holy crap.  Be still my beating heart. :wub:

I hate to say it, but so far it has blown Kaidan's romance out of the water.

Np, I've been looking at both threads at once and all it's gotten me is posts meant for the Kaidan thread stuck here. I should probably stop doing that.:blush:

Edit: @SSVDissapoint Glad the vid helped. I don't want anyone any more crushed about this ending than they have to be.

in the meantime, I decided to go replay Cerberus Headquarters, because it's one of the absolute best videogame missions ever, but this stupid game... well, now I am almost done with final mission. And that means I have to... face... the ending... AGAIN
**** NO

As I finally got around to finishing (whatever that means considering the disappointing ending) ME3, I came onto the forum to see if others felt as cheated as I did. Imagine my impressed surprise to discover this campaign.

Very good cause and a very mature voice to put forward for Bioware to hopefully listen to!

I have been lurking this thread since Wednesday when I found my way here through a link on the RetakeME3 Twitter.  I literally spent ALL day today reading through the thread plus various articles and watching videos.  I donated on Wednesday right after I found the chipin link, I’m probably going to add some extra to my paypal account after my husband’s paycheck posts today so I can help out with the pennies, and then when I get paid next Friday I’ll be making another donation. 

I’ve really got to go to bed now so I can get some sleep in before work tomorrow morning, but overall I just wanted to say how awesome I think everybody that’s helping with this is.  Whether you’re donating, or spreading the word, or helping create these awesome sig banners I just want to thank you all for what you’re doing.  Child’s Play is a fantastic charity and I’m happy to be a part of this.

Sorry if any of this is rambling or didn’t make sense… it’s wayyyy past my normal bedtime.

 I keep thinking, "Oh well that's a lot of money, it'll probably stop now" and then it doesn't.

$50k is such a staggering large number.

Heh. You might want to edit the message. I think it messed up the post a little.

Funny how productive I get at 1 am. I came up with an ideal ending solution to their debacle. I think it would have been suitably epic. It's just really sad it probably won't happen.

The idea is this: The endgame is based on the Catalyst creating options because it's encountering outcomes it never planned for. These outcomes all suck, mind you, because it's thinking "inside the box." It can't actually think *outside* the box, and that's why its choices are all shades of awful.

Add option "D". Select Shepard. You start in on a movie sequence where Shepard points out that the whole reason for these options is because the Catalyst is faced with a situation it never predicted. Which by its own admission means the current cycle is progressing in a direction it can't understand. Rather than shoehorn that back into the box, it should let them turn off the Reapers and see where they go.

The Catalyst starts raising arguments about why this is a bad idea. The counterarguments Shepard uses are based on the decisions you made in the game, cuing up movie sequences based on whether you took the Paragon or Renegade path to each sequence. Did the Rachni queen live or die? Did you destroy or save the Collector base? Did you save or destroy the Geth? And so on.

Each one of these events is presented in a long, unbroken movie, which *feels* personalized for the viewer. As the events are referenced, the viewer will find themselves reliving the moments in the gameplay when they made those decisions, and it makes the whole movie sequence feel like it was tailor-made just for them.

At the end of the sequence, the Catalyst finally states that it truly doesn't understand any of this, which is when Shepard counters with that being *why* it has to happen the way Shepard sees it. Because the Catalyst's plan has been proven insufficient. Reality is simply too infinitely complex to plan every outcome for, and one of the outcomes the Catalyst could never have seen coming has in fact, happened.

Faced with the irrefutable facts of Shepard's arguments, the Catalyst allows the modification of the signal, so that it harmlessly shuts off Reapers. The energy wave does no damage to anything else.

You have a sequence similar to the end of the digital rebuild of Return of the Jedi, where you see a montage of events across the galaxy as the music plays. In the same vein, you see the Reapers fall over on Earth, then the Mass Relay spins up, locks, and fires (without exploding,) sending the signal to other relays across the galaxy.

The scene switches to Palaven briefly, showing Reapers losing momentum and drifting helplessly in the space battle above their world. It switches to Thessia, showing Reapers collapsing on the planet. It moves to Rannoch, showing the energy passing harmlessly across the planet. If you saved the Geth, the scene is a little bit longer, showing a couple of Geth stepping into the scene and looking up at the sky.

The final shot could be of Shepard and the Love Interest standing on the Normandy, looking at the Citadel in Earth orbit as the arms slowly ratchet back to their normal position, before you cut to credits.

Simple. Effective. Rewards the player. You don't even need to have any more conversational choices. Just a long movie sequence based on their decisions. THAT would not only be the epic way to end the game, it could be done without changing *anything else*. Just modify the last choice so that a new option is available, with a sequenced movie following it.

Like I said, it's simple and straightforward. Hell, if Bioware likes it, and will do it, they can use it. Just give me a mention in a credit line somewhere. :)

I donated $5, it's not much but it's for a cause I support! Plus, it feels good to help kids!
