This one was better than others. At least they kinda acknowledge the sheer number of unhappy fans. And that those unhappy fans can be justified in their unhappiness.
There is merit to the argument against changing the game. I'm all for changing the ending, but the ramifications could be immense. Hell, even if they do it right there's a chance that ME's name will be sullied forever.
Game Informer chimes in yet again.....

"And those players do exist. The comments section in our Spoiled! episode for Mass Effect 3 contains a significant amount of players who support and are pleased with the game's ending (even if they are in the minority)."
Huh...at least they acknowledge that people who are happy with the endings are the minority.

Oh look. ANOTHER article that obviously didn't bother to actually read Ray's blog. "Change the endings" and "clarify the endings" are not the same things.
These people get paid money for this?

I haven't read the article but improving and building upon something is never a mistake.
Game developers themselves always complain they don't have enough time to do everything they wish
Now they have an excuse to actually do what they might have intended to do in the first place but might have been cut because of lack of budget/time

I find it odd that gaming publications such as Game Informer and Kotaku are condemning gamers for wanting to change the ending. while non gaming publications like Forbes are defending us. What a crazy world we live in...

The article is not that bad, I could pull random words from any article and make it sound horrible. It simply states an opinion, it is not saying that we are wrong for wanting a new ending. It simply explains that if Bioware decides to fix the ending, how do they go about deeming which ending is the right one. Because my ending to ME3 was destroy, another players is control, which path is right. DO they make DLC based on the control choice or DLC based on the destroy choice.
That is all the article asks, which ending is the "right" one, and if there is chance that by creating a new ending DLC speciifc to one choice will it alienate more players.

If any game site acknowledges problems with the ending, thats admitting that they either gave an inaccurate review or didnt finish the whole game. Thats why they'll continue to hold the party line

There is no such thing a gaming journalism, it is just a bunch of hacks who couldn't get a real writing job. Most of them never even finish the games they are reviewing. The reason why they are attacking the Retake movement is because it calls into question there credibility when it comes to reviews, afterall they expected us dittoheads to be slabbering all over the game right now. It also doesn't help that they get a lot of kickbacks for doing a publishers dirty work for them through access to the developers, early builds of the game, and advertising money. Those sites live and die from that. Or do you really think Jessica Chobot didn't make it into ME3 for her acting ability?

Well if all their doing is "clarifying" (which btw i think is a terrible terrible mistake) then they just do what they were supposed to do the first time i.e extened each of the endings so they make some goddam sense.

Read the article, it simply asks a question, which ending is the "real" ending and how does Bioware go about creating DLC for a specific ending without alienating more players.

Read my answer..
Do what they were supposed to do the first time and extend all the endings to a satisfactory and meaningful state.

I generally like game informer but it seems to be ignoring the fact that most people who speculate about the indoctrination theory do so because they think there's no way bioware could give us such an awful ending and are expecting DLC anyway.

IF they clarify the endings, then yes the answer is simply, but will that not upset those expecting fleshed out DLC.

The blade is double edged no matter how you look at the situation. I personally want fleshed out DLC, you just want them to clarify each ending option, which one do they do.

I wouldn't worry m8, if they flesh it out that much then they will charge us for it anyway....so they should have the money to cover most angles.

No one forces them to download the ending DLC (if there will ever be one), so why do they even bother?
The ending sucks on every level possible, but if they like it (for whatever reasons is beyond me, but who cares), they can keep it as long as I get a different one.

It was an interesting read though, and even though I hate the ending and want it fixed, I can see his point about someone else being disappointed.

Lol no i don't, if i had my way they'd remove the starbrat entirely and just do a conventional death or glory boss battle and end sequence. Im just saying that for the sake of argument.
