This is sad. See for yourselves.

tl;dr From a programmer-perspective view, Bioware lost the passion to work on Mass Effect.
The first two videos:

www.youtube.com/watch & www.youtube.com/watch

EDIT 1: Changed the topic's name because of constructive criticism.

EDIT 2: I said here that Bioware didn't care..I think they do, but for different reasons...

Well, I never actually wondered what Daniel Jackson would look like if he'd worked in IT instead of egyptology, but now I know.

Please, do see. It's not another smugboy, but someone with well-articulated thoughts, and credible ideas.

I invite all real fans of Mass Effect 3 to see.

He pushes dark energy, strike 1.
He says the ending isn't foreshadowed and has nothing thematically to do with predecessor games, strike 2.
Then he starts talking about how he would have ended the trilogy, strike 3.

First three minutes of the first video. He's outta here.

I'd invite you to watch the whole video. Or you're like this ME3 reviewers who didn't play the whole game, and still thinks it's magnificient?

Sadly, I'm excited, because he basically shows why Mass Effect as a series is so awesome, and why the ending is, well, "contradictory", or better saying, underwhelming  (his opinion of course, but one of the most logical that I have seen)

I agree that part that he says that Mass Effect 3 is the first game that BioWare made after EA put their hooks and change the way that BW works.

It's sad, but you know is true.

Not worth my time.

Anyone who takes the dark energy thing seriously is demonstrating prima facie they haven't done the background reading in the codices they need to be remotely credible on the subject.

Anyone who thinks the conflict between synthetics and organics isn't a sufficient, ongoing theme in the game to base an ending around, just wasn't intellectually there while playing the games. At all. To the point I must wonder if they were even playing Mass Effect at all.

...and anyone who tries to talk about what would be a "better" ending in the context of that glaring ignorance of the universe and its ongoing themes is just a bloody fool, regardless of how well-spoken they are.

Again, I must say. watch the video. It's that important.

If you still disagree after watching, fine by me.

Well worth a watch. I watched the last 15 minutes, and will go back to see the rest, later. A sadly accurate assessment of the game and the company that made it.

I think many of the writers still have a lot of passion for these characters and this story, but it wasn't there from the top down. Bioware really is becoming EA. The Bioware we all have loved for so long is fading away. The names and faces associated with their greatest successes have been moving on, since EA took the reins. Maybe that's coincidence, maybe not. I tend to think not.

Uh, no. That would be Dragon Age: Origins. Launch day DLC with advertisements for it inside the game itself? Yeah.
