Been linking this video everywhere.

Yeah, who cares if he takes a leaf out of the redmedia guys approach (which he acknowledges in the video) The guy is on point with his breakdown and more importantly highlights some valid concerns about the phrase 'clarification'. Like him I worry that what me might end up with simply a mild rejigging of the existing ending with a few extended callbacks to our party characters to add 'closure' rather than a proper back to formula reworking of the ending sans God Child & nonsensical explanation as to the reapers motivations (which we never really needed in the first place).

Just watched it. Really good take on the ending, and I fully agree with the "Clarification" issue. They might as well just not do anything if that is all they do.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! This was the attention and validation I was looking for the whole time.

I hope some people at Bioware watch this. In a way it's just a summary of many of the things already said on this forum - but for a Bioware employee, trying to separate signal from noise in a forum full of hundreds of threads is asking alot, especially when they're personally invested in what they've made. So part of the point of the video was just to put as much of what's been said on the internet as I could into one place, and to make it as easy-to-watch as possible.

On Plinkett: I'm definitely a fan of the Redlettermedia reviews, and used their style as a template (and I said as much in the video), but I don't think I aped them so closely as to count as a ripoff. No one has a monopoly on the "game footage + narration + jokes" format.

I bet Plinkett took inspiration from the Angry Video Game Nerd the same way I took inspiration from Plinkett.

I ate hotdogs while watching that juicy video.

Well, Red Letter Media just kicked off their game reviews section, so maybe they will do ME3 somewhere in the future. It's a shame Mike and Jay are not gamers though.

Awesome job man

I don't agree with his stance on the Indoc Theory and being an ass pull.

His entire video he is trying to show that that ME3's ending is broken because it has no logical flow. Indoc Theory is the only real current theory that tries and explains what logically happened if the endings are the endings.

If there's one video CHud, Walters and Co. need to see to show where they got off track, it's this.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video Yougottawanna, you've given a voice to this chaotic movement.

If you really are the one that made the video... Job well done.  Calm, collected, precise, and even a few lol moments.  Thank you good sir.

[Oakshire]

Thank you Yougottawanna for the articulated explinations and analysis of the Mass Effect universe. It certainly needs to seen by others who have similar passion for the franchise.

Kudos

[weltraumhamster89]

Finished watching it. Please Bioware, watch it and comprehend!

[Logiwonk]

+1 for great justice

While that may be true (he actually has a character outside of the reviews with movies and stuff) - Plinkett's reviews are extremely insightful. If you look past the jokes, the dead pan humor. The reviews give some of the best lessons on how to write and not write a story.

I swear, Screenwriting classes should show his video. As someone that has been in screenwriting classes, I learned more in Plinkett's reviews, then I have in multiple classes.

Wow. Nice to see someone get on to the logical fallacies of the damn ending, but in a much more concise, well-constructed way than I could have hoped to accomplish.

(...I was going to try making a webcomic where Carl Sagan shoots down all the Catalyst's arguments in flames, but it just seemed like to Herculean an effort, so I didn't bother - I know...)


Has anyone tweeted this to the official Mass Effect Twitter channel?

Perhaps something like this: "Have you seen this? bit.ly/blahblah Sums up the ending problems pretty conclusively - will any of these points be addressed?"


I.e., something that draws attention to why it's being posted, and poses a question to prompt an appropriate response from them.


If anything can, this might just be the ticket, since it so comprehensively nails the problem, and why it's not just a case of 'disappointed fanboys' but bad writing that undermines the entire preceding trilogy.
