 Whether Bioware have something up their sleeves or not, it's just a matter of time until they give up and give us what we want, what we DESERVE.

If we stay determined we'll get our ending guys. Because it all comes down to money and I don't think many would be willing to pay for further Bioware/EA products, let alone Mass Effect franchise. I mean no disrespect but I don't believe the sincerity of Bioware/EA or anyone speaking for them.

I do hope that Bioware/EA is wise enough to deliver what they already should have been by now. I know they don't give a c**p about any of their customers but again, I hope they will respect the fans whom they've made billions from.

Well, BioWare people, I'd like you to know that I AM ignoring everything ME3 for this Weekend. Why? Because I HOLD THE LINE!


I don't think that's a good idea. If this weekend really is an attempt to distract us with free shtuff, better to take full advantage of it. Play, get the free stuff...and then keep the pressure on in the coming week, just as strong.

Interview with Mike Gamble (Associate Producer)
http://www.360magazi...ferent-endings/

There are many different endings. We wouldn’t do it any other way. How
could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard and
then be forced into a bespoke ending that everyone gets? But I can’t
say any more than that…”


lol
Hold the line

Nicely done. Finally we have our own PR-professional to analyze their tactics^^

Like he said in his first post: Keep pressure, or their tactic is working!

I also want to say I understand why the ME team is not quick to capitulate on this issue. If they do it would mean that every time a vocal fan base didn’t like something they did, it could snow ball into a movement. Do they Hold There Line, and say No artistic integrity, or do they cave and fear the Reaper every time they create a game? A health dose of both wouldn’t hurt.

A bittersweet compromise would be paid DLC.

Fans would no doubt rage, but they could have their ending. As a company they need to have a bit of a back bone when it comes to fan demands, look at the state of Halo Reach’s multiplayer, in an attempt to appeal to a more casual CoD audience, they dumb down the entire thing, because fan feed back, now 343 is trying to fix it, and they are doing their best, because what people got wasn’t what they wanted, and both are unplayable.

We understand as fans that there is a time and place for the company to Hold the Line, however I believe it is in Biowares best interest to compromise with the fans, in a way that no one comes out happy, but everyone gets what they want/need. An odd concept but trust me this is something married life has taught me well.


We're at war, Jester.  There are no compromises.  For us there must be no defeat, no quarter given, and no mercy shown. 
lol   :lol:



Oh don’t get me wrong I’d be pissed, I’m looking at likely hoods. I want it free, but I don’t see it happening, what stops us from doing this every time we don’t like the smallest thing? Nothing, legitimacy I guess, but Dragon Age 2 arguments had a lot of legitimacy to them as well and nothing was ever done.

As for married life;
Someone has never been married.:P lol

Nice with an insider view. Theres no way this movement is going away, the sooner Bioware/EA realises that the better.

His statements have given me more hope. That was a well needed pep talk, looks like we got ourselves a commander.

Holding the line, as long as it takes.

We appreciate the kind words, and I for one can say I trust you.
But that doesn't mean anything , sadly : Our goal is clear, we've been cheated more than once by BioWare//EA, but this mess is too much to forget it. (Mr. Casey's target after all , right?).
This only requires one answer: Are you guys really going to fix the endings?
Simple question, the answer will dictate what happens next.

Thank you.

I like Jarrett's responses, and they seem genuine enough for text. I won't pretend to believe them or anything, but internal discussions are a good thing if true. If the reaction hurt Bioware as much as the ending hurt the fans, then good! We have something to work with.

To be honest Jarret, if you come back here, I may not be speaking for anyone else, but I suspect many would be of the same mind, pre-ending DLC can be canned altogether so far as I'm concerned, until something that prevides better resolution to Shepard's story comes along.

However if you must, shuffling things (to keep any ending DLC priority) around would be the best way to keep me, as a customer, interested in ME 3 for long enough. Fix the endings, and you'll have my business, fwiw.

it's quite funny actually i was planning on buying the From Ashes Dlc for my second play through and fully intended to buy any future Mid Game Dlc but with the Ending(there really is only one ending bar maybe picking your favorite color) And its long term Repercussions for the entire Galaxy(with the exploding mass relays and with the huge fleet near earth we probably did a better job at galactic extinction than the reapers ever could) but i don't feel any point on anything mass effect knowing what the only ending really is so Bioware LOL you lost a long term paying customer because of a crap ending

Thank you for this post. It gives a lot of insight, but it also kinda made me loose all hope. I hate the way Bioware can make me feel. How depressed I can get over all this. But I gave it almost everything I have, I loved this series to bits, felt real emotions for all these characters and they just punched me in the stomach with all of it. I wont dare to buy DA3 after this, not if this wasn't some big evil plan and they actually had a back up idea form the start. Even if they "fix" this by giving us a DLC later to give us a good  better ending it still wont be enough, not if that wasn't the idea from the start but just "damage control" in the end. My trust will be totally broken and I don't know if it can ever be repaired.
