Many Pro-Enders support Casey's vision 100%. We will continue to fight the corruption that is Retake: social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/11049551/1

I've always wondered what you hope to achieve with your particular brand of trolling. After all, its a lot of effort you undertake spamming every thread with links, to say nothing of the actual topics themselves, which require such careful maintenence and seeding with further dung lest they die out altogether.

To what end? You have a multi page topic filled with mostly bored responses by now, your inappropriate and excessive use of the word checkmate is beginning to lose its ability to actually make people angry to such a degree that you're being forced to try and invent new slogans to draw this ire.

The worst part is, its all pointless. The members of the movement you apparently dislike that are being listened to are invariably not the ones you end up luring to your posts. You're simply banging pans together endlessly in a large field, unaware that the people you wish to annoy are living several miles away in soundproofed buildings.

You checkmated yourself.

the guy is the very face of lieing and scumming... i dont feel sorry for him.
I still dont understand why people dont sue bioware, i am not in the US but if you sue you have all the chances of wining, there is a lot of proofs arround showing how they tricked you into false advertaisement.

Look at what happened to power balance, once consumers found out about the scamm they sued and won, this is the same. bioware is a company like any other, and mass effect is a product like any other. If i were there i would´ve sued them for false advertaisement.

I privately suspect that he's an anti-ender, who wants to make sure pro-enders continue to feel ire about the ending and the people who lack a sense of quality to the extent that they support the ending. He helps keep anti-ending sentiment burning at a steadier pace.

Either that, or he really, really, really takes pleasure in sub-par writing. He's pretty clearly a troll though, so I'm thinking more "anti-ender in disguise trolling his own side."

I do feel bad for him, because Mass Effect was kind of his brainchild, and it appears he (and Mac) genuinely believed their ending was good. And so much of their earlier work WAS good. If they truly worked on the ending together w/o having it reviewed by the other writers, that's unfortunate. But I can see why they were trusted to try it.

I have faith that the Extended Cut will be done well, because of Casey & Mac's prior work and the fact that I am sure this time the work will be reviewed by the rest of the writers (looking at you, Patrick Weekes :] )

Sorry for him.

I dunno. I mean from what little information they give us it seems Mr. Hudson is pretty much the sole responsibility for the cluterfrak that is the ending to ME3. Do I sympathize with that?
Only about as much as I'd sympathize with someone who spread the bubonic plague on purpose.

But if I'm mistaken, please, Mr. Hudson, come on out and tell us the creative process that created the shambling, spewing, abortion-that-lived, wreckage that is the culmination of your 'artistic integrity'.

I did at the very beginning, when he was under a lot of pressure to not say anything a week after release, but then he made a lot of choices that could only bury him. He waited too long to address the fanbase, the press releases they lined up either demeaned the fan base, gave them a sliver of false hope, or alienated them some other way. Jessica Merizan was a wonderful way to placate upset fans, but then they cut her off from saying any more. They had a month to come up with the endings that they should have come up with sooner, because that was a promise for the product, and they're even half-assing their fix.

These were all choices Casey Hudson had to make, and he blew each and every one of them. If this fix is bull****, I'm never buying another Bioware product, and I think a lot of people will join me in that. And while I won't make it personal, if I ever do get the chance to meet Mac Walters or Casey Hudson, I will make it known to them how they disappointed me on a professional level for dropping the ball at their job, because we all had to pay for it.

I saw Casey Hudson's comments before release about how we wouldn't get some forced "Choose A, B, or C" ending to the game. Then I played the game, got to the ending, and it was some forced "Choose A, B, or C" ending. There's nothing to feel sorry for.

Personally never been mean to any particular Bioware employee, or anyone on the forums for that matter.

Maybe if the reaction he’s getting is making him sad, he might be more honest about the way he presents his next game, and not make so many obviously exaggerated or (dare I say) false statements.

Don’t have a single problem with the guy as a person. He’s probably a great fellow. But what’s happening here doesn’t seem, to me, to be one man’s efforts to win fans back, but purely publicity and damage-control related.

I do wish people would stop pointing their fingers at specific individuals. It’s not really serving anyone to be unpleasant.

No, I don't

To be honest, I never really liked him even before this entire ME3 ending debacle. He always had this smug and condescending air about him that really irritated me. I did, however, have respect for him as the creator of one of my favourite series.

I would if he hadn't made false promises. Since, he has, he has kind of brought it on himself.

As a person, yeah, I do feel kind of sorry, I'm sure he thinks he actually made an awesome ending. People make mistakes.

But as an executive producer, no, he deserves the blame he gets. And he should acknowledge that this ending is not what the Mass Effect series deserves and fix it.

And John Dombrow.  And the rest of the team that gave us Rannoch and Tuchankha.

He and anyone else associated with aproving this ending should lose thier job and I hope the gaming industry sees what a blunder they made and they have to change carreres


Oh they worked so hard to lie to the fans.
Remember: "There won't be any A,B or C endings" "You will get closure." Yeah right.

Lessee.... I'm going to lie through my teeth in the months leading up to release and then be surprised and hurt when people call me on it? Nope. Not feeling one bit sorry.

Praise where it's due: overall game is really good. But a kick in the shorts where it's due, too: Day-One DLC and that abortion of an ending. I'm not terribly down on the Day-One DLC, just that $10 for a mediocre mission when the remainder of the assets were already on-disc was a rip-off. Not bad story-telling, just bad marketing.

Whether the ending can be clarified through additional cut-scenes and such is an open question, but Casey's relationship with reality as reflected in his comments about the game up to this point has been tenuous at best. I'll withhold judgment pending the final product, but I have grave doubts at this time.

Given that IT is probably false now, it seems that they didn't plan this.

If that's the case, then I do feel sorry for him, because he thought he made something great and it blew up in his face in unimaginable ways.

For Mr. Hudson no. For the rest of BioWare yes.

Mr. Hudson believes the word closure and speculation are synonyms <_<

The man makes enough money to own his own plane, yet can't competently conclude the flagship series he's been producing for almost a decade.

No, I can't think of any reason I should have any sympathy or pity for him at all.

Have you seen a picture of Hudson? He looks like he has an expensive haircut and a personal trainer... He looks like he lives a life luxurious enough to have a personal trainer. I'm sure he's suffering greatly trying to figure out what to do with all the money that comes from being in charge of a blockbuster videogame series for more than half a decade. He did his job with what seems like very little oversight, he got paid for it. I feel more sorry for EA, which paid Hudson to make a product which caused this much furor.

Frankly he reminds me of the director of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" laughingstock of the theatre industry after sinking millions of dollars into a failed project? Sure. Did she get paid an incredible amount for her years of work? Oh yeah, she's crying all the way to the bank, too.
