I always look forward to reading your posts, atghunter. I'd love your insight into today's events regarding IGN videos ridiculing the movement, the $20 price reduction today on the game, the story making to some of the larger news outlets and, of course, Bioware's silence today.
Not much to update, but I'll take a stab at the few things I've noticed going through the thread since this morning.
<<<cut much of the post to save space>>>
Off to start answering e-mails for a bit!

. Wanted to discuss this part a bit though.As empirical evidence that there is at least some level of negative press concern in the EA/Bioware bunker, look at the virtual carpet bombing ad buys since Friday. While channel surfing on Saturday I saw ME3 commercials on Comedy Central, ESPN, and Sci-Fi all within the span of 1 hour. That's the kind of media blitz you do before you release a product, not a week and a half later.

How is it that every time I check this thread I see words of inspiration from Atg. You sir are to be commended for your thought provoking and intelligent additions to this lively and wonderful community. As I said in my previous post and will say again, as an ex- soldier who often felt alone in a world full of people, and as a fellow Commander Shepard I salute all of you.
Hold the line.
Something I heard once, sums it up for how this old gamer sees it:
If I am well met, it is because I keep good company.

The one thing I'm mostly frustrated about is this: I've been nagging my friends / family and co-workers for months and asked my boss months in advance for a week off from work and social obligations. Tomorrow that embargo ends and its back to business. And the first thing they will ask is: How was it?
How am I going to explain people that dont play Mass Effect or worse, are not gamers, that my heart is crushed and I'm in shock? For a game. They will never understand and call me loony, geek and sociall challenged that "needs to get out more". Now I could live with the fact that Bioware dropped the ball with the ending. But not with having to lie against my friends and family just to avoid a scene.
Its like that really ugly painting you got for your birthday and have to put up a pretend face that says "Ooooh thank you. Just what I wanted!". And thats not all. Everytime they visit, It has to be hanging on the wall for all to see. Blegh...

Yes I'd quite like to see the evidence for that.Syrellaris wrote...
@Chmarr,1)- the reviewers were sent unfinished games so they never saw the endings
2)- reviewers who give bad reviews ALWAYS gets put on the EA blacklist which means...no more EA games
3)- website reviews were based on magazine reviews (or in some cases a work for work copy)
4)- EA staff being caught on wiki deleting the bad ending critisisim on the mass effect 3 page and the EA ip addesses are now blocked from accessing wikipedia
5)- the "gasp of breath" scene has been confirmed on wikipedia to be shepard so were being lied to by some EA/bioware staf
Sources?

Do you have Digital Deluxe? You could print out the Normandy Lithograph and send it.
Or even better, look for an N7 patch pic or something similar online and send that in.
There are several ways we can be creative about this. :happy:

Thank you all. But I think that all of us have had enough space magic.
