Only a small percentage like the ending. Of that percent I wonder which percent of them are paid by EA.


Yeah, because this attitude is both constructive and enlightening. Perhaps the percentage seems smaller because people who did find enjoyment in the ending aren't howling at the moon to get heard; who knows.

But I must be on the payroll. That's exactly what it must be. (facepalm)

Saying you are an artist doesn't allow you to make bull**** everyone needs to like. And saying "you won't have A, B,C ending" suggest you won't have "Red Blue Green ending".

Also, the main difference between a book or movie is you can't change anything about it. The whole purpose of a RPG is to be able to change the story. But yet, it seems some people don't want us to do so.


Really, nothing else need be said.

Alot of people are annoyed, OP, because thoughout the series, every single thing which you decided to do MATTERED. It got up to a point in ME3 (in this case the last 10 minutes) where what ever you did, did not matter in the slightest. All the things which we were promised, diminished. Saving the Rachni in ME1? Doesn't matter. Curing the genophage and uniting krogans AND Salarians? Doesn't matter because the endings are essentially the SAME. In my opinion, the galaxy is doomed either way.

Unless they make a Mass Effect 4 that continues the story beyond Sheperd....

 I'm just saying that you have no right to force BioWare to CHANGE the ending



Forcing and wanting a change is two different things, why do people not understand this? Forcing is going to Bioware headquarters and putting a gun to their head until they change it. Wanting it change is doing a peaceful petition to show unhapiness at the ending.

There is a difference between want and force.


Doesn't matter how you do it. The end goal is the same: you want to violate BioWare's write to freedom of expression. You can criticize them for their ending, but there is nothing wrong with them not wanting to change the ending.

As for you Saracen, you've changed your position. Your previous topic was "Oh the endings are great because I can
make my own ending (imagine what happened afterwards), BW IS BRILLIANT"
to this article that you've copy and pasted. I addressed your OP in the
other thread, and, since I'm going to be adopting your style of
argument, this is my response to this thread:


Don't put words into my mouth. I didn't change my position, which is that depending on your choices, you created a galaxy after the Reapers, and you are left with QUESTIONS as to what might happen. Imagination means coming up with an answer, not questioning what might happen.

"I already refuted all
the points presented in the article in some other post in some thread.
Clearly you don't know how to read. <Insert some random rambling
about how someone didn't read the OP and should step off their
soapbox>"


That's not what I said either. I already debated with Uezril, and those who keep reiterating their points even after I responded to them are the ones who are just copy-pasting their arguments over and over again without any substance or actual response to my points. Some of the others posters here actually do respond. It's you who doesn't.

lol, I'd be damned surprised if they didn't. Even then, there are novels. There will probably be more novels set after these events...but I'm pretty sure; considering how much money it would make; that Mass Effect 4 is coming.

Did you even read my OP? I argued that they did matter: you saving the Krogans and Quarians and Geth, for example. BioWare never lied about that. You're taking it to assume that they will all input at the end of the game.

It got up to a point in ME3 (in this case the last 10 minutes)


Did you even read the OP? The ending of the trilogy is the entire game, not just the Grand Finale.

where what ever you did, did not matter in the slightest. All the things which we were promised, diminished. Saving the Rachni in ME1? Doesn't matter. Curing the genophage and uniting krogans AND Salarians? Doesn't matter because the endings are essentially the SAME. In my opinion, the galaxy is doomed either way.


How do you know that? We don't know if the galaxy is destroyed. We don't know if the mass relays have killed all life because the mass relays did not explode like they did in Arrival. Your interpretation is that they did kill all life. My interpretation is that they received the Crucible's signal, which altered dark energy in the mass relay and converted it to transmissions (go back to the game and read the Codex entry on the Crucible), which are fired at incredible speed and force to other relays. Only when they fire do the relays break, meaning that the energy is expended to the far reaches of space and time, and the destruction of the relays is from the shockwave of the energy being released, thus getting destroyed without releasing that energy to kill all life in the solar systems. We don't see people dying in other galaxies. It's not clear-cut. It leaves us thinking as to what really happened. But we got our endings. See the OP again and argue those points.

I agree that hadly anything was different because of that final choice; but in ME2 nothing really changed much based on your final decision ther either, because you can't have a cohesive plot if everyone can just change it on a whim. If ME 4 is about the rebuilding of the relays or some other alternative then that's the direction ME3 had to finish on, regardless of player choice.

And if you don't have a point to argue, you're trolling. Not me.

I meant, considering some people had ALL those allies, the endings were near enough the same as if you had 0 allies.

Yeah true in ME2. But maybe people though that "oh theres another game coming, so the ending will be better"

Yeah I think that'sthe confusion. Bioware always said this was the end of Shep's story; not the end of Mass Effect.

Its a fact that a large percantage of game journalism gets paid to give good reviews / recommendations. In fact my retail chain that I work for does it as well for products.

Mr. 16 -- you had good points in your original post about the journey being better than the destination

however, you already know that there are people that have been greatly affected by the bad ending.... i couldn't get out of bed the following day after rushing to finish it the night before...

even your title is provoking.. when a lot of people want the ending changed..

if you are not trolling, then your thread is insensitive to say the least.

Thank you.

I understand. I didn't say you had a right to be angry. I just said that both sides need to discuss this issue.

even your title is provoking.. when a lot of people want the ending changed..


You're right: it was too strong, but it was an inevitable reaction: a lot of people here want to force BioWare to change the ending, especially with that new "hold the line" campaign that antagonizes the company and alienates the rest of the community that likes the game from start to finish. It is unproductive and unbecoming of rational debate and discussion.

if you are not trolling, then your thread is insensitive to say the least.


It's not insensitive if you actually take the time to read it.

Do you understand the precedent that would set? What if a bunch of people don't like how the GTA game ends; so now fans can change the intellectual properties that someone else owns the rights to, simply by petitioning? Asking for change is one thing...demanding it is another.


The only precedent this sets is that fans will not tolerate bad writing. That's it. For what you're saying to be an issue, the majority of individuals playing GTA would have to coordinate enough resources to have enough impact to get the ending changed. That's what you see happening here. One fan complaining about how Red Dead Redemption was "too sad" won't convince an author to change anything. But reality is the game was produced with an audience in mind, meaning the writers already had to take fan feedback into account. They simply failed.
