I didn't even know Emily Wong died, had it not been this thread. A email on the Normandy would have been better. Not on twitter.

How and who would email shep about it?

Could have been mention in a certain Shadow Broker's terminal, for instance.

Biowares current direction makes me sad. I mean that much having to be told via twitter?

Emily who? Oh yeah, one of the forgettable sidequest npcs that got Shepard running errands all over the place.

Kinda like the ME1 doctor, which you see in ME3. "Oh yeah, her. I kinda.. sorta.. remember her"

[Edit]
Come to think of it, where is Shepard's mom? That's one character that I never get to see. Doesn't Shepard care about his mom? Not even a "Hi mom, how are you? Sorry, I got to go, saving the galaxy and all that"

i shouldn't have to go to a social site to find out about story and character changes.

its in my opinion one of the laziest forms of writing.

on top of this, how are people like me, who REFUSE to sign up for Facebook and Twitter, supposed to figure this stuff out?

This!

I have facebook - i have avoided twitter because one is MORE then enough. Any relevant information should be in the games.

Yeah I really thought that they could have added a vid call at the end to Shepards mum, or at least one after anderson says she is working on the cruicible or something.

I LOVED what they did with emily wong. I was reading all the updates that day while waiting to go to the midnight release. It was like the invasion was really happening. That is what bioware was trying to do.

When she said that the last weapon she had was the skycar..... That was awesome...

As it stands I havent even looked for the Allers romance scene on youtube.

You didn't  miss much, I'll summarise:

(Interview on war status concludes.)

Shepard: "So... you want to screw?"

Allers: "Um, sure, I guess. Don't tell any one."

Shepard: "Won't tell a soul. There's the bed..."

(Fade to black, pause 10 seconds, Shepard stands alone in his cabin.)

I agree, I really got into checking avery 5 minutes to see what would happen next. I thought it was a great marketing campaign.

How could any self respecting ME fan not check the twitter?
It was so heart pounding to wait for the twitter updates

How could any decent human being dictate what counts as self-respect,
especially when they equate it with one's adherence to social media?

I'm conflicted.

While I would have loved her over Diana, including having more Dialogue (wonder if she is cheaper by the hour).
And have a general distain of "extended" universes (they tend to collapse on themselves, amoung so many other reasons.), with her in particular, late comers and replayers will not really experience what happened to her, not even a link to the feed is in game.
I have to admit, I enjoyed reading it, felt the whole stunt was pull off well and was sad at the end. But that's all it is, a stunt, it's over and the game is more hollow for it.

At least it wasn't a paid service, pay more to find out about the game in a completely new format...that's something I guess.
(Same goes for multiplayer when that is canned, unless theres a patch to make it otherwise you lose out on part of the game you paid for)

I was really disappointed by the handling of some of the minor characters. I was hoping Emily Wong would at least get a shout out on the news or something.

This.

I cannot state how much i disliked chobots voice acting, fortunately bioware planned for this and gave us the option to send her packing, to which i did. Wong would of been a better choice as you said.

Only thing I can say in Diana's favor is that she has a Khardashian-level ass.  And thats the only reason I kept her on the ship.

So true. It definitely should have been Wong instead.

What happened is somebody asked Mac a plot related question on Twitter, and he had the temerity to answer it, and so the BSN is now excoriating BW.

Honestly, if I were them, I'd get rid of this place.

In all fairness, his answer did seem to go with a shrug of the shoulders and the implication that it really didn't matter. The fate of everyone on the Citadel is apparently not something that he cares about, which reflects the disconnect between BioWare and the fans with regard to the entire ending.

I suppose there is some validity to the idea that if you blow up the Citadel, it really doesn't matter who was alive or dead on it before hand. Also, these are questions which Shepard will never know the answers to, so perhaps the player won't, either. That raises the question of why we got cut scenes of exploding space magic and the Normandy embracing cowardice. In that sense, "Shepard dies, roll credits" would at least have left fans with the "what happend?" response instead of the "well, that was stupid..." response.

IMO the twitter feed was awesome and well done. It was very interesting and captivating. I was refreshing twitter all throughout the day to see the next post. Even after the last post, I kept refreshing for another hour or so to see if anything else would come up. Emily Wong got entirely more screen time/focus in that twitter feed than she would have by being a side character in ME3.

[Dauw]

God, twitter needs to die already. Or remain a circlejerk site for journalists, the cultural "elite" and hipsters.

Either way is fine with me. I feel like an old fart for saying this but social media and all the desperate attempts to integrate it into everything nowadays drives me mad. I want to have all the information about the game in the actual game, not have to go to a self-important social networking site or download an app. The time I could have wasted on keeping tabs on social network stuff is time I spend elsewhere, well.. being social.

Well, there's an unfortunate design choice. I have no interest in filling my life with twitter, I mean really some of us have other things to do...to have game plots (even tiny ones) take place on another format is awfully close to seeming a bit of a marketting ploy. Even if it's totally innocent, I don't understand excluding some of the fan base like that...

The more I keep up-to-date with all things ME, the less interested I am in investing time in Bioware games. Here I thought I had missed some things because of in-game choices. Instead I'm supposed to devote even more of my life to the franchise?

Totally bummed. Thanks for the heads up OP

Hyperbole much?

It was a twitter feed that lasted half a day. And if you weren't watching the twitter feed that day for updates, then to read it all now will take.... 20 mintues? How is that 'filling your life with twitter'? 

It came across as a launch day kinda thing. To set up the supsense that the reaper invasion is happening right now. It worked for me at least, I was even more hyped up because of that twitter feed.

Getting sick of all this out of the game content. I couldn't care less about twitter, facebook, comics and other bull####!

Twitter sucks. If I cannot post a wall of text then its not worth it

[prizm123]

what is twitter? i dont use it, sounds like an enormous waste of time for self absorbed attention ****s....

i still have no idea who this chobot woman is... is she some jersey shore "celebrity" or something?

i am not being facetious, i am dead serious

[NM_Che56]

That twitter thing was a nice nod to Orson Wells.

But tens of thousands of customers, and millions of potential customers, do. Emily Wong is the perfect sort of character to this publicity stunt. She's a relatively minor character, so her loss will not derail the story. She's a news reporter, so the text blitzes falls in line with her character. And while a minor character, she still has enough of a backgruond that someone who stumbled across the ANN twitter feed could google "Emily Wong Mass Effect" and learn more about this universe.

I bet a lot of you would be just fine with the twitter and facebook stuff - which you DO NOT NEED AN ACCOUNT TO READ - if Bioware just included those updates on the "what's new" sub-tab on the social.bioware.com homepage.

[FataliTensei]

I find it funny they use the art argument with that damn chobot woman in the game, I'm sorry face scanning some woman and putting her in the game to pander to IGN kinda destroys the art argument just like the advertisement at the end of the game. I liked Emily Wong, I really wish they had actually cared about their universe enough to finish out all the things they set up in the past two games instead of writing her out via twitter. It's nto only lazy but insulting to fans of a pretty cool background character.
