I want to give the ME-Galaxy back their sense and a closure end for shepars theory.
As well i want the replayability for the prequels back!

[PHub88]

Because John Breaughs ballsack must be upheld.

A satisfying conclusion to a beloved trilogy.

As well as the chance to play through the series again and truly enjoy it from beginning to end.

[Captain Shakespeare]

Some of the things I've read regarding the ending have been damn poetic. It's a shame that such eloquence came at the cost of such travesty.

[Giskler]

For a worthy ending to an amazing trilogy. I was depressed for a week after finishing ME3, thats not how a game should make you feel.

This... and because I kinda have to   As it stand now, I can't replay ME because I've lost all motivation to.  Won't be buying DLC or future products because I have no trust or faith in BW to not do this to me again.

Of course, if they decide to rectify this, well... I'd say I would have as much, if not more respect for BW than I did before, and gladly purchase products that interested me.

Hold the line.

I fight because I love this series and its story. I love BioWare. And I want others to share the love I've had for this series. And right now, this whole franchise is sinking into the oblivion of mediocrity because someone screwed up .5% of it.
I don't want that to happen. I want to revel in the glory of Mass Effect.

That's Why I'm Holding the Line. To help an old friend of mine end its day with the glory, respect, and love it deserves, instead of the mediocre dribble of a dismal, lack-luster ending

It's a shame for me that it took such tragedy to really allow me to understand/articulate what it was that made it so special.

To save the galaxy that I have been fighting my ass off for, for more than 500 hours. To come out on top of the Reapers alive. For more drinks with Garrus. To raise my blue children.

[Elite Midget]

Well, it doesn't cost me anything so whatever. I'm not affiliated with the movement anyway, they just happen to be saying things along the lines of what I've been saying for well over a year.

[sndwurks]

Because it is what my Shepard would do. Mass Effect has given me 100+ hours of enjoyment, and it ended it with 10 minutes of out of nowhere, nonsensical cinematic that completely disenfranchises the player and destroys the entire universe.

Call me obstinate or self-righteous, but I do not wish to believe that 100+ hours of my life were wasted due to a creative team's sudden change of quality. I know that Bioware could do better than this. They did. As a consumer? I want to help change how an industry functions, because this can't happen again.

[Catroi]

someone lied to me

now my Shepard is dead and all his actions are useless

I cannot accept this

[Silvren555]

I have never had so much anticipation for a game as I had for ME3, and I have never experienced such total disappointment in the ending of a franchise.
Mass Effect deserves an EPIC ending, bittersweet or otherwise, it NEEDS to be epic.
The entire game was building you up, fight after fight against impossible odds, then you meet space magic child and its almost as if the game farts, there goes the ending in a ****** poor release that smells of bull****.

[rivqa]

Because I've never cared so much about a game franchise. I've never cried tears of sadness or joy for a video game before, but I did in ME3 (for Mordin and Thane, and for the Quarian and the Geth). I don't mind crying at the end too, as long as it's for a feeling like that and not a feeling that I've been cheated and deceived.

And for the characters I love. And so I can get the N7 tattoo I was planning right until those last few minutes.

[crapmonster13]

Honestly, I just want to be able to play ME again without being reminded of what an utter failure the endings were.

[Promchek]

To come out of the ruble, put a foot on dead reaper and say Yupikiaye M&%#@*. But seriosly to forget for a minute: what life sux and then you die...

[Delpinolikespotatoes]

I'm holding the line to show not only that I want an ending which was worth the hours I spent on this games and that lives uo to the previous ones but also to show that gaming community aren't just a bunch of little kids who can't make their voices be heard.

[Kayawyn4]

I'm holding the line because I want to see the Mass Effect IP to continue and flourish. I want to remember the trilogy as something epic--and not the reason I lost faith in Bioware.

[Exicuren]

Because i have never played a game like this before where my choices mattered, i have 23 years old and somehow i have played many kinds of games, specially rpgs. Most of the rpgs that i played in my life have been very lineal, mainly because most of those games i played in a ps2 so usually those are jrpgs, the only game that made feel that i could change that what i was choosing mattered was persona 3, but when i played ME for the first time, the story, it's characters were affected in some way as i chose in the game. I won't deny that an emotional attachment was created ever since, but other games made me feel that way until i played ME2 and saw that both of my good choices and bad as well changed some aspects of the game, it eve forced me to play ME again to get it right as i wanted. When ME3 was released i was expecting it with so much desire, that for the last two years i carefully forged my ideal story.
The reason i'm holding the line is not just because i want a proper ending, i want the right to choose, i can't accept the bad written and bad made reality that BW wanted to feed me in the last 15 minutes, neither paragon nor renegade shepard would have accepted that reality, he would have found a new way, he didn't gave up to sovereign or harbinger, he stood up. Instead of feeling rewarded from all that hard work i felt fooled, i felt that there is no reason to play anymore, that all of my choices were in vain and it was just better to let sovereign start the cycle instead of stopping him. I want choice, i want to see that they matter and i think that most of the community feel the same

I am holding the line because this series deserves a better ending. I can't believe the writers botched it this badly I suspect there was some sort of executive/corporate bs involved.

I am holding for the belief that works of entertainment, of art, and of fiction can enlighten us, can broaden our horizons, remind us the world is beautiful and worth fighting for, that we're all heroes in our own way, and that what we believe can help take us to worlds that we didn't believe possible.

That sometimes fictional people can mean more to us and teach us more than real ones. "Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded." That while the encounters were artificial, the emotions were not, and I've grown as a person with every encounter, novel, film, game, or otherwise, and this deserves the kind of respect and love that I've come to give my favorite franchises.

I hold the line for something that justifies the emotions, the lessons, the growth I've felt, not as Commander Shephard, but as a fan of literature and story.

Amazing, insightful and touching. Thank you.
And I believe it would be worth to be put out there for haters(against the retake) and especially BioWare to read.
Some days ago Patrick Weekes(writer at BW) wrote that the people creating such beautiful things as Mass Effect sometimes need to be reminded that they not only create pieces of art and fun but things that really matter to people. Or as he put it: "we're also making someone's day better ".

What you wrote is the essence of that thought.
Mass Effect matters to people and BioWare, in creating this amazing trilogy, have a kind of responsibility towards the emotions and feelings of these people. And crushing these feelings with an ending like this was beyond cruelty. 
Emotions are powerful, no matter the context (fictional or real, our brain is incapable of separating these two), and I think seeing this work ending like this, both in regards to utter lack of quality as well as the actual ending of the story(utter devastation, no matter what) is on the verge to hurting people emotionally.

So BioWare, read Foxtrotarmys statement, sit back for a moment and think about what you might have done to people and if you want Mass Effect to be remembered this way.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Hold the line.

The English major and literary critic in me simply feels disgusted to the point that I can't stop thinking about it-- and negatively at that. I've never once had a story's climax influence my thinking in such a way; that's a good enough reason for me.

It simply betrayed so many conventional laws of narrative while simultaneously undermining the essential elements of the game itself. I don't want to sound hyperbolic, but the ending we were given is, in my mind, practically the worst possibility for an ending to the trilogy because of this.

1) It breaks the rules of good narrative.
2) It breaks the rules of established canon.
3) It betrays Shepard's character (has made a career of fighting back when told something; does as is told now).
4) It's riddled with plot holes the size of dreadnoughts.
5) Rather than offer closure, it offers confusion.
6) It belittles your choices-- the main draw of the series-- and their consequences into a number to be crunched in the background.
7) It belittles the themes of the series's major subplots by condensing it into "synthetics vs. organics", even though that's not the major theme in ME2 or ME3.
8) It doesn't vary except in implied consequence and color scheme.

There is so much wrong with it that I honestly wonder how many hands it went through before they decided it was a good idea. I'd be ashamed if the majority of the writing staff saw the proposed idea and actually agreed that it was a good idea.

I don't want to see my favorite game franchise of all time be remembered as a blue, green and red "demotivational" picture...

Mass Effect deserves so much better.

I want to see Mass Effect remembered for what it truly is, a interactive experience like no other, varied and unique to each of its players. Its conclutions directly affected by the players choices.

It might sound presumptuous, I am not triyng to be, but I'll say it like this anyway.
I am holding the line with you all, for the integrity of the Mass Effect universe, its characters and its story.

[TomY90]

 What I am fighting for is an;

• ending that makes sense
• ending that does not ruin the entire galaxy we have grown up with and love
• ending where we can have a happy (or happier) ending that I have been longing for since ME1
• ending where you see your decisions actually count for something
• ending where Shepard can live how you want him to live or love.
