After finishing Mass effect 3 i felt empty... I felt as if a void of nothingness had consumed me. "What kind of ending is this?!" Right up until the end I viewed it as one oft the three greatest games of all time. However, my opinion was then corrupted by wahat I thought were poor writing...
It has taken a few days of contemplation and the aid of a certain video to turn that opinion around. It is not untill you realize what might realy be going on that you appreciate the current ending. I'm certain you can find this somewhere else on this website, but i belive that everyone who is the least intrested in the ending to Mass effect 3 should watch this exceptionally well made video.

$54,917!!

Oh so close to 55K :)

Keep holding the line for the kids and our hopes that BioWare can wake up from its corporate america indoctrination and remember the fans who love this franchise!

Hold the line!

Btw, have you guys read THIS? Something Brent Knowles (the lead designer of Dragon Age: Origins) said about the endings of ME3. He's spot-on IMHO..


"End on a positive note. This is really important for video games...life
in general is full of s****y stuff happening all the time. When I
invest a hundred hours into a game I need to walk away feeling like a
hero."

So much of this ^^^^

as I said in the Megathread:

"One quick question that keeps nagging me:

While I am not totally commited to wanting a "happy, rainbowy" Ending, how would this ending even be possible?

Even
if we would rip the reapers apart and are all "We did it!" would that
allow for a perfectly happy ending for the Trilogy? We may have won the
final battle, but what about the sacrifices we made to get there?
Wouldn't the resulting Reflection of our Shepard (or his/her Squadmates
depending on Shepards Survival) in form of an epilogue still end quite
bittersweet?

(That's what I thought about the Lord of the Rings
Ending too actually. Live goes on and the enemy is vanquished, but the
fellowship still dwells on what happend for a long time)"

Owen Good of Kotaku in his newest Post:

"I still despise its fig leaf fund drive for Child's Play, making that charity a human shield and a passive endorser of the cause's righteousness."

Well yeah I spare you my thoughts on that for now, need to keep a positive attitude...

Nice initiative. Sadly most people are so used to terrible writing or getting unfinished products that they won't really see what sloppy/callous work BW did with the ending. (sloppy as in poor writing or callous as in releasing pseudoending only to patch/DLC it away if needed)

OniRogue - ignore the trolls...

Let them think whatever they want - we know what we are doing and why we are doing it. We don't need to justify or defend ourselves to anyone.

Re-watch the Captain Kirrahe speech!

Hold the line!

It's almost like he's saying.."I still hate you guys, but sorry for being an ****. But I still hate you all."

Those t-shirts are awesome, I hope any money you make from them, at least some of it is going towards donations. Of course it's you're hard work, so I guess you can spend the money how you want haha. Still it'd be nice to get that number above 100k.

Also pretty sad when the lead writer of DA:O Agrees with us, perhaps it's time BW woke up and smelt the coffee here, when there own employees who made popular games quit and then say your doing it wrong...yea.

Even BioWare has said the Charity drive is a good thing.

Ignore that website! :)

OH and - WELCOME to $55,000!!! Lots of children in hospitals are going to benefit from this no matter what happens!

Hold the line!

These are awesome...but can we get more colors than just white? I never buy white shirts because I have pets, and...well...

But if they come in grey, or blue, or pink, or something (and in a women's cut) I'll totally buy!

i love how he minimalizes the fact that, even if you don't agree with what everyone here has to say, a donation is being funded and people will benifit.  then, in the very next sentence, he talks about the importance of maintaining a relationship with gamers and the product they buy.  lol  wow.

Reading this post:
http://social.biowar.../index/10084349

and this reply by atghunter:

"Two more quick points and I’ll close. First, the Child’s Play movement was brilliant. Notice over the past few days how some of the most visceral detractors to the outcry have had to shift their vitriol from “you’re spoiled selfish haters” to “sure you gave to charity, but you are spoiled selfish haters.” Nobody is drinking that Kool-Aid. Better yet, some outlets are now saying “maybe the game has problem but its still art” from the precedent message “best game ever.” That won’t fly with the mainstream. If its one thing they know is that when “art” hits the marketplace, it is a commodity, nothing more. You’ve changed the countermeasures from "unbiased" critics of the movement into drum beaters simply trying to get you angry. EA’s PR guys probably envy you (grudgingly) atm"

I think it is critical that we continue this movement.
Also, if anyone such as myself has not yet donated (which I will do right after writing this) do so now. We need to make the biggest noise we can possibly make.
