Fans: Bioware! You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the games that limited choice and stifled attachments to the characters, not join them. You were to bring closure to Shepard's story, not leave it in darkness!
Bioware: I hate you!
Fans: You were my brother, Bioware. I loved you


LMFAOOOOOOOO @ this one. Priceless!

 I have never actually sworn off a company before, I considered it but ultimately I decided it wasn't worth it.  After being betrayed by such a nonsensical ending though....

I just cancelled my SWTOR account and don't plan to purchase any DLC from bioware ever again.

The exception would be if they actually fix the ending or at the very LEAST apologize for turning some amazing into complete trash.Even if the ending was tragic but CONCLUSIVE I would be ok with it.  I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't feel betrayed, confused, and upset....

Granted I'm just one person, so ultimately anything I do won't matter in the big picture of things, but I digress...

I correct the few words that could be seen as vulgar, but I still respectful for Bioware. Insulting leads nowhere.

Just one thing to say :

If everything (and by everything I mean voluntary crappy ending, the "LOT OF SPECULATIONS" thing, the voluntary "non answering" answers on tweeter and the whole "Gave us feedback !" thing) was planned ?

What would be the best ending for Mass Effect other than the ending that fans wrote ? And if Bioware just make this WHOLE mess just to get the most and the best ideas from us ?

Why do they wait for more people to finish the game for making an announcement ? ---> More Feedback.

They're maybe crazy but they're not fools. If they still make fans wait by answering just "We prepare something crazy but we can't tell you." or "Give us Feedback !" if they're just going to announce a simple "Bonus Mission" DLC. It would be a suicide...Even the DemandABetterEnding page on Facebook is strange : Very, very, VERY well organised for a fan made page and that's story with the child's donations, great idea I admit but who would have think of doing this ?

I might be wrong, but I still thinking that all of this is too big to be just Bioware staff saying to themselves "We're such geniuses ! Our ending for Mass Effect 3 is too great ! Let just ask feedback from the angry fans so we could laugh at their lack of understanding !"

If I'm wrong, Bioware will be dead for me.
If I'm right, it's pure genius and the best way to finish Shepard's story.

So, the truth comes to light... BioWare litterally had no idea what they were doing!

So disgusted by BW

"Whatever we do would likely happen before or during the events of Mass Effect 3, not after"

So pretty much the universe will never be expanded upon.... Well I think I'm giving up on BW...

Or you mean without that writer who left after ME1 and 2, they were kind of lost?

Q: What did you think of the ending? Is this addressed in the story?
A: I've seen the uproar online about the ending and understand the fan perspective. Personally I respect the creative choices the team made and had no problems with how the story ended -- it made you feel something, even if that feeling was uncomfortable.

The Final Hours addresses the challenges BioWare faces in writing a story with defined parameters in a game environment where players want to feel like they have choice. Ultimately your opinion on the ending will depend on who you see as the "author" of Mass Effect's story -- BioWare or the player.

The ending of the game is discussed in the App and there are some notes from the team about how they were thinking about the ending. Since this story was completed before the public release of the game, I do not address the fan petitions or reaction. I hope to update the story with a new chapter on this down the road.

LOL.  The only times I've felt uncomfortable during any type of story has been watching scenes of rape/torture/murder.  Want to leave us on an ending thats thought provoking and or ambiguous?  Fine.  But at least do that while sticking to the parameters and characterizations that you've spent the bulk of the story establishing.

Bad games have bad endings and no one cares. Good games that have bad endings...everyone cares. If Mass Effect 3 had been a horrible game, no one would care about the ending because they wouldn't play it again. The reason people are pissed because they want to play the game again because it was good...but they can't.

I can't believe theat they actually said some of that stuff. I've lost all respect for Bioware after reading that.

Which essentially means that the endings were completely pointless, as they have no desire to follow up on them. 

Seriously though, if they were going to do this, why not just go balls to the walls in terms of different endings? The 'the next games we do won't likely take place after ME3' thing pretty much gives them NO excuse for not going all out with different ending scenarios.

A new meme!

"Lots of speculation!"

Maybe it was one of those things where you fold the paper to make a smaller message. Like gum stuck on the notes. What they actually wrote was "lots of spectacular closure and resolution!", but it got folded up and crumpled in the photocopier.

Stupid photocopier. Ruined the whole saga... :P

I don't know which would have been worse:

1. They actually didn't KNOW this was a bad idea.
2. They knew... and figured we were too stupid to figure it out, or would be so convinced that their excrement wasn't odoriferous that we wouldn't complain.

Absolute manure.

I didn't like the ending. For about twenty hours it was the most depressing ending in gaming history jsut because it was so disappointing. Five minutes really can change one's mood.

But hacks? Hacks? Why do you think this rankles so badly? Because the rest of ME3 is 35 solid hours of one of the greatest RPG experiences ever forged in the white-hot furnace of creative fire. People are pissed about the ending not because it's bad, but because the rest of the game is great, not good but legitimately great in a way so few games are, and the ending utterly failed to fulfill the promise that the game made.

So let them fix it. I'll buy whatever DLC they put out, because 99.7% of this game was staggering in its quality. If they fix the ending - because yes, it needs fixing like a willful child needs discipline - then I will be happy to revise that number up to 100%.

Calling them hacks is disengenuous, rude, and meaningless. You're here because they aren't hacks. We're all here because we've seen them produce greatness. We're all disappointed because we wanted more, just another few minutes, and didn't get it.


Yeah, no. I'm here because they weren't hacks - until ME3's gigantic fustercluck of a BAD ending spoiled 90 hours of gameplay across all three games and left me so pissed, I wrote the entire series off as a lost cause. I'll never invest another dime into this series - and that includes any phoned in DLC EA is going to strong-arm Bioware into making to capitalize on the massive consumer demand for it.

And no, the game being great is purely a matter of opinion. I personally thought it had several weak points outside of the ending (but nowhere near the same in scope), which would've made the game good in my opinion. I could nitpick about several other things as well that I didn't like, but that's not what this thread is about.

Nevertheless, I stand by my claim that the writers are HACKS, as only a HACK could've written such a humiliatingly bad ending in the first place - and I won't give them one shiny penny to "fix" it.

Exactly. If it had been an artsy series from the beginning, people could understand an ambiguous ending. Look at Dear Esther. The entire damn game is ambiguous and you can barely even call it a game, yet people love it because they know what it is going into it. It's like they had the best sci fi series ever in the best sci fi universe ever and they decided they were going to suddenly try to make the ending a "statement". It's weird.

I'll not make any final judgement about Bioware until they make an official announcement.
