Hey guys, it's great to see that the energy on these boards hasn't waned at all since Friday. I might recommend that everyone try to save their strength, though. Tomorrow will be a trial-by-fire for the movement as the media's picked up on us a little and it's the start of the work week. We should each lend our voices in a deafening call tomorrow, and show Bioware that attempting to placate us with PR nothings will not suffice.

If you have a job, post before you leave for work. If you're in school, post before, during, and after if you can. If not, keep holding the line for the rest of us that will be trapped in corporate drudgery, and trust that I will be frantically trying to get signal on my phone so I can keep track of what's going on.

I'm kind of tempted to put a thread out tomorrow morning along the lines of "why" we're so determined to see new endings. Think of your reasons, hopefully it will be one hell of a Monday.

Our Choices Should Matter - Hold the Line!


I have the day off tomorrow. I will hold the line. Because Choices Matter.

I cannot say for certain - however that IGN video by Colin Moriarty giving an overzealous opinion on us gamers seems to be down/removed.


I couldn't find it either. Then again the thing had like 4k dislikes within a few hours.

This is my spring break week and I have nothing to do but work for college. So, I've got time to hang around. =)

Yeah, it does not up on their website.

Or I am searching in the wrong place for it.

We have to prepare the strongest protest to tell Bioware/EA that we are not happy about the game is not complete. I purpose we should return ME3 at April 6th if Bioware/EA do not reply our protest positively. This is not revenge but a message to Bioware that they make a huge mistake to ignore costumers. Not even PR can help this. Bioware mess up KOTOR2 once, and I chose to believe them again to buy ME series. Now, Bioware mess up Mass Effect again. We should take action to reply Bioware/EA.

Spring break for me as well. Makes it a lot easier to hold the line, and get out point across.

USS Cushing's XBOX 360 got the RROD so he's unable to play ME3, but he wanted me to post on his/her behalf.

USS Cushing wrote...

Here is what I want Bioware/EA to do fix the endings.

I want endings that reflect the choices that me and my fellow gamers have made through the course of three games and not be forced into making a decision that if I had true control of the story would have never made or forced into. 

I am not interested in buying future Mass Effect 3 DLC content from EA/Bioware without a FREE DLC that adds the multiple endings that I and other fans want; I want closure to this saga based on MY terms not a developer’s terms.

I will also not buy the DLC for Mass Effect 3 ending and future content until I watch a video of it on YouTube or other social media. I believe that this way I will save my money and time by not blindly spending money on a DLC that is rushed or simply out there for defusing the current discontent towards Bioware/EA’s handling of this problem.

I have no problem with being civil towards the developers and employees of Bioware/EA and I also want my fellow gamers to also have the same attitude towards comments about Bioware/EA since they will both in the short and long term not help our cause in changing the ending; but I also want the developers to realize that giving me statements such as “we are listening” or other vague and nebulous statements does not give me anything to go on and does not give me the impression that fellow gamers and my objections are being taken seriously. In short, I need specifics about what is being done to address these objections. 

I will continue to avoid promotions, deals, and any other “shiny object(s)” that Bioware/EA announces to divert my attention from the main goal which is to get the ending that I believed I was going to see based on my choices. I would also ask that my fellow gamers do the same.

I believe that increasing and sustained pressure and a civil attitude will help by showing that this cause will continue for as long as needed until the goal of a players’ choices that will determine the ending we want to see.

So in the words of Captain Kirrahe

HOLD THE LINE

 

With that, I'm off for the night. If anyone finds any interesting post(s), links or anything else, please PM me.

It was like everything he said was a direct affront to all my beliefs as a gamer and as a consumer.

"Who cares if Mass Effect 3 was 90% DLC locked on the disc?"

Wow. That's a hell of an opinion he has there.

Waning numbers here in the forums don't mean that the RetakeME3 movement is failing. Once players have said everything they want to say about the endings, it's inevitable that the frequency of posts will decline and our collective interest in the topic will wane and wander.

The important thing is that everybody *remembers* how dissatisefed they were with ME3's ending in a few weeks or months time when BioWare start trying to sell us DLCs, MP content and other sundry merchandise we don't want. So go ahead and do something else with your time, but remember to Hold the Line once more before you open your wallet for EA.


Truth. I'm not much of a talker (typer?), and a thousand other people could say things more eloquently and meaningfully than I could. But just because I'm not posting, doesn't mean I'm not on this forums at least once a day getting back up to speed with where the community, and EA, is at with this movement.

I may not be on the front line, but holding it, I am.

As am I!

We are not done yet bud!


The only reason I made that comment is because some people seem to think we've failed if BioWare doesn't make an official announcement soon, but that isn't the case. If the consumers present a united front, they're the ones in control here.

I'd also like to add that I, like all the true BioWare fans, hate having to harass my all-time favourite games developer in this manner. Unfortunately for them they're paying the price for setting such high standards. If this were any other game or any other company I'd shelve my disappointment and go straight to a competitor, but nobody out there comes close to competing with BioWare ... when they're on their usual form.

As do I. But  will hold the line to the last man, and I will be the last one flee the line if it falls. I'll do this as long as it takes.
