you did no such thing for me? What numbers are these again?


I didn't for you, the numbers are a couple posts up. Over 2 million copies sold. Last checked the retake movement has said they have around 50,000 members.

it is funny that majority of fans who don't like the ending just ended up being on a BioWare Social Network Site. Where else would the true fans be?

the reason it has sold that many is because no one knew the ending was going to be so aweful. A lot of fans preorder the game,Those  numbers don't mean anything. I am sure if people knew about the end before they started the game, those figures would be less!

The entire game is closure. The ending simply focuses solely on Shepard. It is his story, after all.


Disagreed the whole game is about how Shep fights to get an army to save Earth not *her* closure.


Right so the resolution of the genophage, or the war for Rannoch, those didn't happen.


At all honestly? It feels as well as if they didn't happen. Nor were necessary. In the end, why does it matter if you reunited the Quarian and the Get, if you saved the Krogan? The galaxy gets pretty much wiped out, or doomed in a dark age, not to mention all the flotillas stranded on Sol System. 

And, we don't know what happens afterwards, we see the Normandy crashing in a tropical island somewhere outside the Sol System. 

So tell me, what does the resolution of the genophage, or the war at Rannoch matter? 

It takes a very positive, and a bit of a deluded mind to assume that everything will be happy and dandy after Shepard's sacrifice.

True fans don't equal majority. BSN makes up a small percentage of actual units sold. That's why EA has done such a strong push marketing wise for ME3. You and I are going to buy the game, it the casual gamer or the non fan that makes up the majority of the units sold. Obviously fans are going to be more vocal.

it's the true fans that made it possible for your majority to even exist to buy the game!

Reasons for why the game sold don't matter. There were around 800,000 preorders. That still makes around 1.2 million units sold. The casual fan isn't affected by the endng. It's the hardcore fans that are speaking up, and they still make up a miniority.

True fans defined as someone that shares your opinion I assume?

Yeah pretty much. If the reception of ME1 and 2 weren't as good as it was, well, another wind would be blowing.

It still doesn't matter. You and I make up the miniority, and the retake people make up an even smaller miniority.

No no, those who were there both critizising and offering new ideas for further installments of the series. You can't deny that ME2 and ME3 had a lot of things that fans suggested.

Clearly you have never studied statics.

IGN poll, poll in here, polls everywhere show that 85-95% of fans do not like the endings. You asumma that just because every single customer does not visit this place, we are minority. You don't make predictions about presidential campaing by asking over half of the population their opinon, you take 10 000-20 000 people.

Quite frankly, when you look around internet, it either means that we the same people keep popping up everywhere, from forbes to someones individual blog OR that majority of the people simply don't liek the endings.

Miniority doesn't mean that you are the only one. It means the smallest portion in a population. Out of 2 million copies sold, there are 50 to 60 thousand people that agree with you and that are speaking up. The other millions of people either don't care or disagree with the miniority.

Sure, and Bio will use a lot of suggestions fans make from in their next game.  Though that's not always a good thing....looks at DA:O....and the Garrus romance in 2.......creeeeepy.  

Other times it's great, 3 is filled with easter eggs for someone whose a fan of the first 2 games, and the changes is variety of guns and armor is awsome.

Or maybe they didn't finish the game yet.

The Mass Effect saga isn't about one guy, it's about the galaxy. Please keep your sarcasm out of my post. All I want is to let Bioware know that not everybody hates the ending.


That is the point! We know what happened to Shepard and A few members of the Normandy, BUT we dont know what happened to the galaxy. Did the mass relay cause a supernova? How many ships died at the earth fight? How will they get home without the MR, FTL would take decades at least, even more for Quarians? Will the turians and Quarians die since there is no food for them on earth?

This is not an ending for a last game, it is barley acceptable if it were a second out of three!

You are wrong, just because there's a larger representation of those that hate the ending on BSN, doesn't mean that they're the majority. I've already pulled the numbers for you.


The sample size is sufficient, actually.  The only question is the demographic in which those votes were ascertained.  Still, I've yet to see a poll of sufficient sample size-- or any sample size-- show that that those who are displeased are anything but the vast majority.  Even on IGN's own poll, where the bias is palpable, this holds true.

That galaxy that went "lalalala not listening." till that one guy went "lol I told you so." in the 3rd game when he couldn't keep covering their ignorant asses anymore.

Now I think I'm beginning to like the ending solely on the basis that I finally got payback, someone help me!

As a 17 year old guy, I've beaten the game twice. First time I sacrificed myself to control the reapers (Meh ending)
Second time through on insanity I chose to destroy synthetic life, and I loved that ending. Just wanted to say I think you guys did a great job. 


"As a 17 year old guy,..." ? Thanks for the info.

I have studied statistics. The fact of the matter is that Internet polls mean nothing. My numbers come from the Retake movement is reporting vs units sold. Those polls represent the vocal parts of the population. 85-95%  of fans surveyed doesn't account for a population of over 2 million. Especially when you look at these Poll's numbers and see that only 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 people have been surveyed. 
Like I said earlier, this is completely based on the vocal minority. The possibility exists that majority of the population may not like the ending but as you often see with video games, the vast majority of people don't care enough to speak up about it.
Disagree if you want, but it doesn't change the facts.
