What about the new video?

[Melra]

Oh I thought this was a new video. They tweeted it just, so I thought it was new. I thought it was hilarious though.

IGN doesn't get my clicks. summarize?

It is a dangerous precedent that a company would listen to their fan base about how they are more then just dissatisfied with the product they purchased? What with the promises never kept, the lack of real passion in some key points of the story telling, and the an ending that is filled with plot holes and makes almost all decisions you made up to that point seem worthless?

They're discussing how this decision could affect the future game titles, that try to create their own kind of fiction, that might not please everyone. Like people using this as an example to force other developers to cave in and change their own stories to better fit the players' likings.

Can't say I agree with it all, if they completely change the endings, I'll be upset, but if they just tweak them, I don't think any harm is done.

It's happened in the past. Fallout 3 had such a shockingly poor ending compared to the rest of the game that Bethesda released Broken Steel to address the issue. IGN never made such a big deal then, which makes things tell tailingly obvious that they are being goaded into it.

The endings are a smoke screen for the shoddy quality of the rest of the game anyways.

I thought Mass Effect 3 was great up until the ending.

I thought this was going to be about a new BioWare game. After watching the video, I agree with the bald guy, but not for his reasoning. I think it's pretty bad that a company charges extra to end a series. Hell, at the end of the day, people will choose whether to pay extra to end their game or not. I mean even having this conversation shows that BioWare was pretty inept at writing an ending to their series. Thank goodness I never got into Mass Effect. Good thing Obsidian doesn't pull this kind of crap too.

As HighFlyingDwarf has pointed out, it's hardly the first time. an ME3 topic mentioned examples like LOTR, Witcher 2, and other artistic creations being significantly re-written based on feedback. It's not new, but it might feel new and crazy.

Play the game and come to your own conclusion, IMO it paled in comparison to the high standard of the last two games.

I liked Mass Effect 3 a lot more than Mass Effect 2, I thought Mass Effect 2 had just as bad of an ending as Mass Effect 3.

That's nice. Care to explain?

[Nameless one7]

I'd have to replay Mass Effect 2 to be able to explain properly. Mass Effect 2 was my least favorite mass effect game even with mass effect 3's ending.

I'd say the scanning planets for resources was a big factor for not liking Mass Effect 2 though.

Why should we care?

[Aravius]

IGN.......... Why should I listen to anything they say?

[Dominus]

Why should we care?

I feel the same, but for different reasons. They "finished the fight", whether it ended well or not. At least for now, I'm not buying a BioWare product(DLC or otherwise) for quite a while. Too busy negotiating spy plans to a psychic-commander rat with a penchant for caps lock.

This. I wish more people would take a stand in that way instead of shouting "shut up and take my damn money!" at BW for a new ending.

No, I meant why should we care about IGN.

Totally with ya Mesina. Why should we give a damn about IGN?
