I know people (both trolls and people in good faith) will tell me that I am just delusional and in denial...especially after today's announcement...and I accept your opinion (not you trolls, I hate you...just the good faith people etc)
But I just cannot believe that IT is not true unless Bioware comes out and says "IT theory is not true. End of story" or the dlc comes out and turns out to be as soul crushingly retarded as it sounds it is.
I just cannot believe on top of all the circumstantial evidence given to us, that the upper ups at Bioware (Muzyka etc) signed off on the craptastic finale to their flagship franchise.
I cannot believe their answer today of basically "we "listened" to you telling us our endings sucked, so we decided to tell you why they don't suck".
I know that I am probably wrong, I know that the ME franchise is, in all logical probabilty, ruined for me and tens of thousands (at least) of other fans.
Yet I will keep hope alive unless they come out and say "no this is not true" or if the dlc comes out and sucks as hard as it sounds it will.
The one thing I am glad in all of this is that I didn't buy my own copy of ME3, it is the one thing that gives me solace, as little and overshadowed by the ending that it is. I was overseas for work when it came out, and when I got back one of my friends basically gave up his copy to lend it to me so apathetically I was almost convinced he was kidding, but then he said "the ending will kill Mass Effect for you" and I didn't know what to think...at the time.
I have to hope. I hope because Commander Shepard deserves better. I hope because my crew and my LI deserve better. The Mass Effect universe deserves better. And most importantly....
we deserve better.
And when the DLC comes out, if it is just a clarification telling us why we should like the broken, nonsensical and lackluster ending we got, then alas, I will just part ways with Bioware, I will never buy from them again, put it behind me and just pretend it never happened. I really don't care if I sound like I'm exaggerating when I say this, but to me the Mass Effect experience was a bit like a video game "first true love", in the sense that it was the first video game I ever played to truly bring me into its universe in more ways than one, and to make the story mine. The ending essentially could be comparable to getting dumped by said "first love" with a vague explanation like "it's not you, it's me" and nothing more.
(and lemme save the trolls out there some hassle and tell you that I have a girlfriend, I don't consider a video game my girlfriend.
)...(no matter how hot some of the LI's are
)So if the dlc does come out to be nothing more than Bioware telling us why the ending is as great as they say it is, then I will just take this experience and let it make me stronger, and move on with the rest of my life. Because honestly, (and I don't want to sound like a braggart) I have much, much more important things, both in my professional and personal life going on than a video game, but Mass Effect was that one thing that really told me "wait, don't just move on with your life and forget about games, games can contribute to your life as more than just mindless entertainment".
Sadly, if the dlc comes out as it is described at the moment, then this will no longer be true for me, so that will be that.
Thus, I kindle the flame that burns in my chest and defiantly say " I believe in IT theory, I don't care what others say or think, the evidence and my gut tell me it's what the truth is, and more importantly, the state of the game and my gut tell me that it is what the truth should be."
To all those who ...somehow...are happy with the way things are right now...I'm happy for you, although completely baffled by your contentedness at the state of things right now...
To Bioware and EA, of course I am just one fan, so my admittedly humble personal opinion is that if IT theory is not true, and all this is just "the way it is", then all I have to say, in a very cold and objective manner, with no rage or disrespect intended, is that both Bioware and EA should be embarassed with how they ruined ME for so many in so little time, and in some cases, (with what would be out right lies if IT theory is not true) they should also be ashamed of lying to fans just to get them to buy the game without knowing what was waiting for them...lurking....ready to ruin 5 years of storytelling in 10 minutes.
So there it is. I hope I didn't sound too exaggerated or arrogant, and that my point came across politely.
Here's hoping and I thank you for indulging my post of defiance and desperate faith, faith for a proper conclusion to the ME trilogy, faith in the fans who ask for what was promised, faith in Bioware for doing what's right.
