My personal thoughts on this is that Mass Effect is a product. Art has everything included from day one. Nobody has to buy Mona Lisa's mouth if I remember correctly. Bioware has negated their artistic integrity. They don't listen. They give us what we think will shut us up. If they are going to continue this arrogance, I hear CD Project is actually doing well.


did you know there are supposed to be about 3 other paintings UNDER the mona lisa ?

I'm personally excited to see what they do. I had mixed feelings about the ending however. Just wanted more closure. It is my opinion that you shouldn't say that you will never buy another Bioware game, especially over one crappy ending.

now THATS trolling..and the first in this thread so far.

most here are trying to help the guy

I'm not trolling.
Empathy is something you obviously don't understand.
You are suggesting he is mentally unstable because he cares about a game.And you're wrong.

Literary and story-telling  mediums connect with people,because their a release from the mundane.There's absolutely nothing wrong with feeling a connection to a video game, such as there's nothing wrong with being inspired by a story, or entranced by a painting.

Now stop judging people,and shut up please.Image IPB

Ya know, this is a pointless thread. Really, WAIT AND SEE BEFORE JUDGING! Speculating of what may or may not be is pointless.

Demo is meant to be that,, a demo. The graphics won't be that super high-end WOW that a full game will have. I have never known ANY demo to have that.

And something got leaked...come on, do you think the final script got leaked? You don't know if that is a draft or what.

People said the demo looked ugly because it was a demo. The final game is not graphically better than the demo in any way. It still looks that bad.

The leaked script is almost exactly what we have in the final game.

These are facts.


actually i believe these might be an opinion the final game i bought looks a lot better than the demo, which in itself didnt look bad...


a salient point a lot missed was actually how well the game performs on sub systems with such good graphics.

Again, missing my point. The final game's graphics were not enhanced in the final version. Whether or not you choose to believe that is moot, as it is a fact. The animations that were laughable in the demo still exist, and constant bugs and broken animations still exist in the final game.

It's not opinion. It is fact.

immz who let you out of the mental institute??? this is the internet not the extranet!! were in the real world where other things apart from the ending matter. you really need to calm down kid.


So cute, how instead of making actual points you take jabs at my mental stability. It's endearing.:wub:


coming from the guy who is yet to make a valid point in this conversation, this really doesnt mean a lot...what was that about me not being able to read??? you reape what you sew....(excuse the pun)


I believe my OP has valid points:
BSN users tell us to wait and see, and we have several times in the past, only to be let down. Why stay silent if there's a clear pattern?

You, on the otherhand, have done nothing but insulted me. I made fine points. It's not my fault you skirted right over them and jumped right on the bandwagon of flaming.


well that post further backs my previous ones....no good point to make so you just label me a flamer....and i think you may be seeing patterns where there isnt any, in your opinion youve been built up only to be let down over and over and over so of course this must be some bioware ploy to show its hatred for its fans as in your opinion thats the only option.....it couldnt possibly be that your just a hard to please self entitled lunatic?!


Nope, it's that I'm an actual fan of the series that wants it's lore done some justice.

You call me a lunatic, and try to say you're not a flamer. You're pathetic. 

I've made my points. Either refute them or get lost.


sorry buddy but you cant expect me to let you label me as something im not and not do the same to you, seriously if you just realised that other peoples opinions matter then no one would be getting nasty here?? also whats the point in creating a thread to discuss this issue and here other peoples opinions if your just going to label them as trolls or flamers and say theyre all wrong???

You post articles of mental illnesses. You tell me I'm a lunatic. You call me crazy. You say I need to get a life.

That's not trolling? I'm mislabeling you somehow?

The ending has nothing to do with opinions. Loose ends were made, plot holes created, and closure was not given. That's not my opinion, it's a fact.


sorry but i dont seem to recall posting anything to do with mental illness? and yes your right there was a royal ****up in the endings that is a fact, and possibly the first one youve stated in this entire post, your pre-emptive hatred of the dlc based on you own opinions of PR patterns however is not fact. a lot of people on this thread are giving you some seriously valid points and yet ill admit some things that have been said by me included were uncalled for and i apologise but you are the one who was been extremely hostile to any one who disagrees with you and its no fun for any one. just relax and we can all discuss this dlc without any one getting angry.

No.

It would 'be a point' regardless.  See whether or not he is crazy is irrelevant to my opinion of your statement.

Don't worry I'll release a clarification reply later in the week to prove myself right.
 
Until then you'll just have to take my word for it.  Right?

That was nice? Your first post was sarcastic and condescending towards me. Don't make yourself out to be an innocent bystander. I was every bit as rude to you as you were to me.

Nice try though.


Edited my post for clarification.

But frankly, i'm sick of arguing at this point.

If you want to be civil let me know, then well talk brass tacks on why I feel you are wrong. 

I'm astonished.

You come into my thread.

You speak down to me. You're sarcastic, rude, and condescending, all in your first post.

I respond similarly, and you tell me you were being nice, and trying to be civil?

This is a joke.



You did read my other responses right?

Cause after being sarcastic for one post, you think i'm sarcastic in all of them.


Here is the problems with what you posted.

1) you presume everyone is on your side on this and you are doing them a service in warning them, condesdending in the beginning.

2) your main point, that they said wait and see on things you found offensive, is subjective. The problem is that most of those changes put forth as they said wait and see were fixed to the degree it would placate some users. 

But what it seems like, is that you are taking this for a factual problem, which is simply not the case.

3) A majority of the post was just pure bashing and made for a singular purpose. To encite people. You gave three examples that are subjective and put it forth as fact, then make a call to arms for a cause. So it seems to work real well, since it got people to read your thread.

You argued that us fans got what we wanted because the other games also gave you choices at the endings. These choices, however, were not made in the presence of the biggest contradictory plot device, the star child, Mass Effect has ever seen.

In choosing to save the council or not, you leave either Humanity in the seat of the council, or you keep the council alive in hopes that now they'll owe you, and help you stop the Reapers. In saving the the collector base, you run the risk of Cerberus misusing it or not. These choices are there to tally up in the finale, in your own Shepard's story. 

What we got was not that. We got the same story that either had main characters that we kept alive, or had replacements (or none at all) that wouldn't be able to do enough. Side characters just had small dialogues. If you kill the Rachni queen, the Reapers just FIND another.

Our choices boiled down to nothing as each time you finish Mass Effect 3 you get the same ending. A game that prided itself on choice gives you none at the most vital moment of the series.


But the game was always about the illusion of choice, wherein lies the problem with this whole debate. The final choice everyone is latching on to as an outrage and taking away choices to begin with. And yet, the choices made from previous games were always irrelevent to that ending, because the resolutions to a vast majority of them were seen in-game and tied together.

I don't fault BioWare for making a game and having ambition to make a sweeping storyline, I do fault them for building up the illusion of choice more in a trilogy. This is why Dragon Age is going to be more successful in the long run; PCs will be different, storylines will be loosely tied together, characters willa ppear/dissapear based on choices, and there is no "end all be all" evil that needs to be quelled anymore. 

This is the problem that people seem to forget; as you rightfully point out some things don't change. And yet, they do. The Rachni for example, if you let it live and it's not the same Rachni Queen from game one, it betrays you and you lose war assets. So that still affects the game. But once again, the point of the choices IS the war assets, and the likelihood of you getting the best ending, which they want to clarify and extend because of plot holes and lack of closure, something you wanted to begin with.

Contrary to my point, in which everybody complained about the lazy animations and poor graphics. BSN users told people to calm down, and wait, assuring us that when the game came out, the animations would be fixed, and the graphics would be much better.

They were not. The horrible animations still exist. The lazy texturing is still there. The final product is no different than the demo, which is what we were told to "Wait and see!"


I don't blame people who don't want to wait because of this. This made me laugh for the first time I saw it. I didn't see often such quality even in games that are much older...

It's not opinion. It is fact. 

Example:
 


if you get the tech specs to your graphics card and tweak your control panel for the drivers you`ll find the graphics can be made far superior to the demo.

i admit its a flaw to games releases these days,but its up to you to get the best equipment and set it up.

far too many cards and system specs these days to expect the devs to set them all up.

The fact is you are offtopic and you are harassing a person because you *think* has a mental illness because he feels emotions during a story driven videogame meant to engage the player. Thats what RPG are meant for, to play a role, to become emotionally attached to the characters. You my friend are the only one that could possibly be suffering from any sort of illness.

Back on topic.


Thhe resolution of the picture isnt a clear cut discussion, depending on the platform and the moniter/ TV (or even the setting your tv is on)  when I played it on the ps3 it wasnt good, the fps dropped like a brick during the demo mission on earth and multiple times during the campaign. When i played on my xbox ive only had a few minor glitches.

But the fact is EA has made its move and the OP has every right to be upset, and to to also be upset at the people saying wait for it before you judge because that what everyone says to you right before you get dissapointed.

To the people saying that the op is mentally sick because he hated the ending. Would you call John muir crazy because he was passionate about the wilderness? He acted the same way when the government turned the hetch-hetchy valley into a reservoir. The op and myself feel that something beautiful has been ruined forever, something that could have been great and timeless that you would want your children to experience is now dead thanks to this ending. That is why a lot of us are pissed off and if that is your definition of insanity then you need to redefine your personal interpretation of that.

OP your problem is with the ending yes? With the many plot holes in the current ending yes? for example the star child and the relays and the stranded crew yes? Well Bio are releasing a dlc to fix the problems with the ending...now im not saying these problems specifically but the problems with the ending. for all you know the dlc could completely cut the star child scene, or could stop the relays from exploding while still retaining the core of the current ending.. all every one here is saying is just try to have a little faith and wait it out, and as ive said if it is a giant c*ck up ill be the first to join you and rage about the dlc.

The thing is, this game is as good as the story, you love the gameplay and you love the story. You love the gameplay and you hate the story. It's not so much fun, there are a million great MMO games you can play for free and ME3 Multiplayer isn't that good, it gets quite boring and repetitive after a while. So I would say avoid the inevitable and move on. You can watch the extended crap on youtube. Nothing else will change.

  I don't believe you comprehend what's happened.

When the script was leaked and everybody freaked out because of how horrible it was, you said "Wait for it to come out before you complain! Bioware knows what they're doing!"

When the demo was released and everybody complained about the horrible animations and graphics, you said "Wait for the actual game to come out! It's JUST a demo it's not supposed to look good!"

And LOOK at what followed:
 - The story comes to the worst conclusion in any video game series
 - The final game is riddled with horrible animations, sprites, and horrible textures.

We waited, and our worst nightmares came true. 

So now with DLC coming out that clearly states that it will not change a single thing about the absolutely disgusting ending, everybody is up in arms because Bioware is completely ignoring everything we have put forward to them.

While we're trying to force Bioware's hand in actually FIXING their own game that they slaughtered in front of our very eyes, you have the audacity to tell us to simply wait, trust, and (god forbid) have faith in Bioware that they'll actually construct something decent out of expanding the ending that, once again, took the entire Mass Effect trilogy and drove it into the ground, you insist that we sit idly by and let this atrocity happen.

No. Enough is enough. We've waited. We've "reserved" our judgment until release too many times to have any faith left in this company. So no, we're not just going to sit back, shut up, and let Bioware squeeze out another insulting abomination on our faces like they have several times.







I like this human, it understands.

I'm sorry to say that but as far as I've read they won't cut anything, they will expand the endings by vids, and no Jennifer Hale means no Shepard in those vids.

So what if Vincent Van Gogh rose up from the grave and started painting penisis all over his most famouse works, should we be outraged by that? I mean it is his works why should we be the ones to judge what he can and cant do with them.

Why I am going to wait for the Extended thingy to make a call.

1) "Our choices matter". Simply being able to see the repercussions of choices throughout the series have an impact on the end-state of the galaxy is all I ever wanted from the ending of Mass Effect 3. Sure, the actual ending itself will still suck, but that's hardly uncommon. I just want the "Mass Effect" Promise fullfilled.

the pope visits a sanitarium and sees a stunning garden being tended by a man.

the man says
"pope,i am sane,can you tell the warders i am sane ?"

the pope says
"yes i will for no insane man could create such beauty"

the pope gets 20 feet away and a rock hits him square in the head,and he hears the man shout
"you wont forget will you ?"

While I do not agree at some points with IT fans for example, those people made a lot of videos and writing to explain why they feel the way they feel about endings. A person who made the vid in my signature did great job explaining why he thinks endings are bad, without IT. But Ididn't see anything like that from people who liked endings. Just "why u no understand they are great" or "I like they are grim"...


Weird how that happens right? It makes you wonder whether these people even really like the ending.


They maybe like the ending, but I suppose they don't care much about details, logic and rules of science fiction.


Those that are comfortable with the ending are so because they understand the detail.  Logic and rules of science fiction are thrown out the window when someone's mind is being torn apart.

The detail is this....the Reapers use indoctrination to bend an organics will to their own.  The Reapers, in particular Harbinger, have been trying unsuccessfully to indoctrinate Shepard.  Who they realized is one of the most significant threats to their existance.

This is a story arc that needed to be addressed.  How come Shepard has been able to fight indoctrination up to this point when so many other organics, even Saren, have succumbed to it?  Had this not been addressed would have been a major plot hole in itself.

How Bioware dealt with this story arc is absolutely brilliant.  Since you control the actions of Shepard your mind had to make a choice.  You.  Two choices that you can make have you accepting that the Reapers should still exist.  One has you making the choice that the Reapers should be destroyed, which is what has been Shepards goal ever since he/she uncovered the Reaper threat.

The ending is a mind game.  The ending is playing with the players mind.  You don't sit passively by watching whether Shepard gets indoctrinated or not.  YOU make that choice.  The ending is astonishingly brilliant.

I watched 30 seconds of your video to conclude that the person that made the video doesn't understand the ending either.  Those that hate the ending beleive that what is playing out is happening in reality.  What is playing out is Shepards mind being torn apart by Harbinger.  Logic and reason no longer applies.  Have your dreams ever made sense when you woke up from them?

You have one right choice, and it is the most important decision of the series thus far.  Your Shepard either takes a breath in the rubble of London or not.  This ending clarification DLC will likely explain what happens next.

Immz you wanted me to enlighten?  Well there you go.

I'm done.

I should go.

This is a story arc that needed to be addressed.  How come Shepard has been able to fight indoctrination up to this point when so many other organics, even Saren, have succumbed to it?  Had this not been addressed would have been a major plot hole in itself.

How Bioware dealt with this story arc is absolutely brilliant.  Since you control the actions of Shepard your mind had to make a choice.  You.  Two choices that you can make have you accepting that the Reapers should still exist.  One has you making the choice that the Reapers should be destroyed, which is what has been Shepards goal ever since he/she uncovered the Reaper threat.

The ending is a mind game.  The ending is playing with the players mind.  You don't sit passively by watching whether Shepard gets indoctrinated or not.  YOU make that choice.  The ending is astonishingly brilliant.

I watched 30 seconds of your video to conclude that the person that made the video doesn't understand the ending either.  Those that hate the ending beleive that what is playing out is happening in reality.  What is playing out is Shepards mind being torn apart by Harbinger.  Logic and reason no longer applies.  Have your dreams ever made sense when you woke up from them?

You have one right choice, and it is the most important decision of the series thus far.  Your Shepard either takes a breath in the rubble of London or not.  This ending clarification DLC will likely explain what happens next.

Immz you wanted me to enlighten?  Well there you go.

I'm done.

I should go.

I wish the IT is true but the likelihood that Bioware actually went that route is very very low. I'm personally hoping that this clarification dlc well help explain some things ( although seeing as how the catalyst comes to the conclusion that synthetics will always rebel against their creators is simply fundamentally flawed) but I really doubt it will help.
