Oh for God's sake that is a pitiful argument.

The sad thing is that the sum of all those things still isn't impressive.

At least she had the balls to apologise I guess.


Doesnt look like an apology to me, she still think we're entitled bratz.

Aye.

If the poster said "She's a heart surgeon who has saved dozens of lives. What do you have going on?"

I'd be like "Well.. ****."

"She works at IGN LOLOL better than you"

A lot of the hate addressed to Jessica Chobot on these forums may not paint the community as "entitled bratz," but some people certainly wouldn't be labeled "mature adults" based on their comments in here. Let's get rid of the childishness and sophomoric insults, please.

Meh, she didn't need to apologise. She didn't say anything wrong, and there are some people who are determined to hate on her no matter what she does or says. Actually, anybody who dares to even hint or alude to the word "entitled" in reference to any people of the Retake movement whatsoever are likely to get set upon like a pack of rabid hounds. She's not the first.

Haters gonna hate.

She gets paid for talking about video-games.

That's pretty much better than 99% of the jobs people on here have, I'm thinking.

"(and "NO" I haven't finished ME3 yet. " NO" I haven't sexed Diana Allers
(although I plan to) and "NO" I don't want to know anything more about
the babsolutly RIDICULOUS whine-fest that entitled gamers are having
with Bioware)..."

So she hasn't finished ME3 so she hasn't seen for herself why the fans are going mental.

And then says we're a bunch of whiners.

And "entitled". We'd have an "entitled" attitude if Bioware were giving us ME3 for free. But we're paying for a product.

Yeah she's right, how dare paying customers (many of whom preordered on good faith that Bioware would fulfil its promises) demand value for the product they paid for.

-Youre presuming. Thinking has nothing to do with it.

She gets paid for sex appeal.

For grinding editors and deep throating console controllers.

It might be more "fun" than a lot of jobs.

But "better"? As in value to human civilisation? nope.chucktesta

Yes, some of us are entitled bratz. No, this does not mean you get to dismiss the protest over the endings.

Just because some react petulantly to a bad ending doesn't mean it stops being a bad ending.

Really? Any of us, the people who've spent weeks ****ing on an internet forum about a video-game ending, want to start judging others on their value to human civilisation?

Pretty much this. Running around talking about video games may be fun, but I'm going to go ahead and wager biomedical machines are more useful.

Look, she was absolutely terrible in the game. Actually, that much she admits herself. Is it sophomoric or childish to state that?

I'm pretty sure it was the anti-Retaker who brought up jobs in the first place.

He just made a pretty good point, which is that while her job may be fun, it's probably not the most fulfilling for most people.

Constructive criticism is okay, sadly most people resort to insults instead.

Most of the criticism should be directed at the people who got her in the game though, I think.

LOL. She's butt hurt that no one wanted her in the game.

Now she won't even stand by her convictions. Typical IGN.


You can laugh at her. But hmm she got paid, she's in ME history as a character in the universe, and she works for IGN. What do you have going on?

shes apart of the game yet hasn't beat it herself?

HUH? how can someone be apart of something and not know how it plays out.... :sick:


it's an achievement, a cement in history however small it may be, it's recorded in time. Who cares if she saw it or not. You do realize alot of actresses don't watch their own acting right? not playing a video game you are in any different?

Haters gonna hate.

I dont hate you, I do dissagree with you.

I think her first responce was to emotional, harsh and generalising.
But i also like that she could stand for her own opinion, while apologizing.

At the same time i do strongly dissagree with some of here opinions.
but heck shes entiteled to her opinion as much as I am. 

other than that atm im not going to evolve on what i dissagree with her on further.

Edit: fixed some weird reapercode that changes my posts sometimesdo dissagree w

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that someone at BioWare or EA asked her to take down her original post and apologize. Due to her association with the game, she can't really make comments about it as if she's just some random independent journalist.

This is such a ridiculous response.  She's got a "cool" job, it doesn't mean she's got more going on for her than other people.

This sounds like the 38 year old bartender who still works at a night club that serves the college crowd crowing to his friends who are doctors/lawyers/accountants/engineers that his life is so much more fun than theirs because he gets to hang out with hot 22 year olds.

Her opinion is useless.

Not necessarily.

Then again you could say this about pretty much any "journalist" at IGN.

actually you would find 'thinking' is what the whole ending fiasco is all about. If Anti-enders did it more, they would probably understand the ending or perhaps thinking about life and it's value would realize fighting for a video game ending wouldn't be so high.. just my opinion which also society happens to agree with
