I want better games with better endings in the future.

Mweah. I'm still in doubt between turning into an avid BioWare hater or nurturing the hope BioWare couldn't mess things up this badly. That's why... I'm hanging more and more towards the hater though, since BioWare is basically telling us this: "**** YOU ENTITLED BRATS! PAY UP AND DIE!"

So yeah, my last shreds of hope for the redemption of EA and BioWare (The Satanic Tandem) are fluttering away.

 There is only one series of games that when put together rank above all series and games as my favorite in my heart. Funny enough, Bioware was behind that series and it was the Baldur's Gate trilogy. Right up until the end I had it in my head that the Mass Effect series would be vaulted right up there with it as an all time favorite for me and then well once everything went down I felt sick to my stomach. It was like someone had killed a family member of mine. Mass Effect 3 was almost something of a new experience for me.

A game has never brought me to tears but ME3 managed to make my eyes water several times and outright brought me to tears with the crew interactions on Earth and between Shepard and Anderson at the games final moments. Then they just stomped all over that by plastering a huge question mark on the final page of the book and the ending seemed to leave things unasnwered not because it fit the story but just for the sake of doing and trying to make it feel artsy.

I hate how this is the current trend of things, everyone calls a happy ending a cliche, but I say in the past decade or so leaving your viewers with more questions than answers has become cliche. Granted I didn't even need a super everything is A-ok ending, I just wanted AN ENDING. What happened to all the characters I've become attached to over the years? What happens to the Galaxy that I loved to journey around in now that the Reaper threat is gone? All of these went unanswered.

Most glaring of all, the devs said the Shepard's story is over and I'm ok with that, but does this mean that the Mass Effect universe as a whole story is over? Will we never get another game that takes place in this Franchise? Apparently not, since no matter what I do in the end I eradicate all life in the Milky Way or almost all life and ruin several million others. So, if yelling and screaming at the top of my lungs can change that, then damn it I will yell myself horse and then get a white board and write in giant BOLD letters!

I Hold the Line because, eventough ME was never the most original scifi story, it had so loveable characters it won me easily over. I have such a great respect for these characters. I have started to look up to Shepard as one of humanity's greatest heroes. I was hopelessly invested in my Shep and all her squadmates and crew on the Normandy.

[Starschwar]

Because I've loved every other Bioware game that I've played. Because just about everything (from a storyline perspective) prior to the appearance of the space ghost child was masterfully handled, and among the best experiences I've ever had in a videogame. Because everything else made it feel like my choices mattered. And if *anyone* can respect the will of their fanbase, its Bioware. I believe that they're going to do the right thing, and fix their mistake. But to do that, we need to be heard. The line must be held.

[wombat_stalker]

Honestly? Holding the line because by being here I'm pissing all the people going, "you're just entitled uneducated moronic retards" off. Love making people's blood pressure go through the roof.

...also, hopeful for resolution. But that's secondary. Have made peace with ending.

[Dragonfable of Dain]

Because I want an ending that wasn't made up under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

[kish]

An amazing game deserves an amazing ending.

[Spectre_Shepard]

because i love mass effect, and it deserves better

I love gaming. But I will have to find another hobby if producers of games feel they can turn out whatever BS they want and get away with it.

I'd rather the industry take a message from this -- better be more in touch with the people who are buying your games. Good Will gets used up and spent a lot more quickly than it is accumulated.

Of course getting a new ending would be nice, and I would eat it up, and probably partly forgive BioWare. However the industry may very well be at a turning point, and I want to do my poor best to influence it in a direction that makes me want to keep on gaming.

Have you seen those IGN videos? They galvanized my resolve and diminished any doubts I had about holding the line. I have been in full recruitment mode every since!!!

This universe means something special that I can't quite voice but Shepard is this person I have forged, this amazingly resilient woman who fights no matter what. Her teammates are these people I care about deeply and it's almost in her spirit that I can't let them down. I won't and so I hold the line.

  I couldn't agree more.  I shouldn't care this much about a game but I do about Mass Effect.  Give Shepard and her/his crew the ending they deserve. Not a color palette and an ending riddled with holes.

[G Kevin]

To fulfill my promise to Tali, build her a home on Rannoch, to live with her for the rest of my Shepard's life. To meet Wrex and Grunt on Tuchanka and talk about the good ol' days. To drink with Garrus and Jacob at that bar in Rio. To honoring those lost, fighting the battle agains the Reapers.

Most importantly, for Shepard to retire with Tali.

Hold the line!

Out of necessity.

Its not just me who wants a satisfying ending that does not make me feel my time spent cheapened and in some way wasted.

And I want to buy more good games from Bioware in the future, but unless this is fixed, it ME3 will be my last.

[Nevaeh15]

I love Bioware... I love Mass Effect... Mass Effect is my all time favorite franchise... I read all the books and bought all the DLC!... Which is why I cannot stand for the injustice they brought upon themselves and this wonderful universe... Like a friend who's abusing themselves... I will not stand for it!! Shape up Bioware!! Admitting you have a problem is step one!!

[Sawtooth357]

I'm holding the line because I *love* the Mass Effect series. I honestly think the endings are terrible. I preordered the game, which I never do, and refrained from looking anywhere online while I did my first playthrough. I thought the endings made no sense, on my own, and then came to the forums to discover that it wasn't just me. If I didn't love this series so very much, if I hadn't supported it for so many years, I would have been long gone already. ME3 deserves the kind of ending the devs promised in the pre-release hype. I just want to be able to point to the entire series and say "look at that, ME is awesome and Bioware is awesome."

[gmboy902]

If I saw a bad ending to the series after ME1 and 2 I'd very disappointed, but I'd get over it.

But Mass Effect 3 was just so great, so amazing. I expected such an epic ending to this epic story and what did I get? A three year old Edward Cullen telling me I have to blow up the relays.

[TheOptimist]

Because I won't accept that after everything Shepard did the only choices were death and hypocrisy, genocide, or both at once. I won't accept that Joker and the rest of the squad abandoned Shepard when she needed them to pick her up for once, instead of the other way around. I won't accept horrid plotholes and the lack of what made this series great, truly different outcomes based on choices. For all these reasons, I will hold the line.

[Mega.scream]

Because I love Mass Effect and want a proper ending. Something that when I start Mass Effect 1, I can play all the way the franchise to it's epic conclusion. As it stands now, there is no epic conclusion, just a sad, gut wrenching one.

[Kesak12]

Fighting for a fitting ending for the series.
