No disrespect, but that is exactly the kind of comment that can be latched on to by some and used out of context.

Besides, I get incensed over what my Government does on occasions. That doesn't mean I want to cause physically harm to any individual that is a member of that Government. That would be a retarded thing to do and completely invalidate my position of argument.

Bioware really is out of touch with their fanbase, more so than most companys.

Perhaps Bioware should stop relying on mods and instead activly engage with members of this forum personally? They may be suprised...

Recall that it is stated (I think it was in one of the Forbe's articles) that it is the general belief that people don't care about the story, just the pew pew.

Its totally wrong, but that's the perception. I don't know where the disconnect happens and I believe that is what keeps this medium of entertainment far below what it can be.

Reality check: Bioware, you should NOT feel proud over the ending. Stop saying you are, because everytime you say it your revenue goes down. You can't talk your way out of the reality of so many customers extremely upset. Customers who have been loyal advocates and have been one of the reasons you could sell ME3 in these numbers.
The customers are right and you guys will be out of a job if you keep this proud sh*it up.

OK, this is really laughable and I don't believe it for a minute. Basically, I expect they ran out of time - perhaps due to MP or whatever - slapped the ending on and crossed their fingers that it would get by the fans. No way do I believe that this team would really think it would fly. Hoped maybe...

Listening to the excuses reminds me of when my five-year-old is trying to convince me she didn't do something which would get her in trouble. Honestly, BioWare should just own up to it and move on rather than bring their credibility further into question.

This is a pretty silly comment.  As the OP, I can tell you I would never do anything violent at all, including raise my voice to anyone who worked on Mass Effect.  In fact I'd thank them for the 2 15/16ths great games they created, and then would ask the obvious question about the train wreck ending. 

But no, nobody is even hinting at violence over this.  Nor would I hint at asking for money back. The reason the threads are such like this is because these games actualy connected - people actually care.

I think the only people proud about the ending is the 2 who wrote it but the PR people probably have a pink slip for anyone who doesn't play along and act happy.

I returned my ME3 copy to Amazon, I was going to give the DA series a try also but not now, I won’t be buying any ME3 DLC or using MS points for ME3 MP stuff (I don’t have the game any longer) and I have ordered a game form a different company due out April 17th. 

Obviously the $200-$300 they lost from me short term is nothing to them but it’s all I can do and any referrals or positive comments about BW are gone now too, not sure what that’s worth (loyal customer).
 
I wonder how many other customers they drove off like this.

I would really reconsider and purchase Dragon Age origins as your last Bioware title. Forget awakenings and DA2 cause they werent great but Dragon Age Origins was fantastic. I would say it was as good as ME1!

I think you'd do yourself a diservice if you didnt get it, but I am with you on not buying anything else Bioware produces. (unless the extended cut is mind blowing)

The more time passes and the more they hide behind their "artistic integrity" the angrier I get about it. I can't help but wonder if time spent developing multiplayer ( which you don't need to finish the game) caused the short comings with the ending. I also can no longer overlook all the other problems with this game. I was so excited for part 3 and was willing to overlook things because I enjoyed the series so much and wanted it to finish with a bang not with the pathetic dying whimper we got. Most people like most of part 3 I know I did but if you compare it to parts1+2 yeah its a really good game but it doesn't fit with Mass Effect. It's been stripped down to bare bones Bioware was so concerned with making it attract new players that they overlooked the core players, the fans who have been with the series since the beginning ( I have no problem with new fans they can only make it better and grow but I do have a problem if it comes at the cost of established fans who have spent hundreds of dollars and spent hundreds of hours playing). The dialogue trees were reduced to cut scenes that you had a positive or a negative direction in and I really so far (still trying to force myself through a second playthrough) haven't seen much difference in the choices they are also spread so far apart that it removes you from the decision making we've become accustomed to. There are no mini games for hacking safes, computers, doors the exploration has been reduced to fly by pinging. Your decisions don't seem to carry as much weight as 1+2 the life and death just isn't there. Then there's the elephant in the room the abysmal endings. They completely invalidate every decision you've agonized over throughout the game, save/don't save the council, appoint Anderson/Udina, save the Rachni or don't, peace between Quarian/Geth, Save/Destroy Collector base, etc. etc. etc... There's no final boss fight something you've always had before. A minor note The Normandy doesn't even take the killing shot on anything this time around (where's Joker making her dance and blowing things up there's not like there's a lack of targets Oh wait he's probably busy plotting to run off with your woman (why didn't we leave him to die in ME2?). It also destroys the replay value, not only ME3 but also 1+2. On a scale of 1-10 for replayability ME 1+2 was a 50 few games get replayed as much with each time being different and ME3 drops to like a 2 unless the extended endings fix this I'm trading them all in because I can't bring myself to play them again it is so unsatisfying. Bioware can't hide behind their "artistic integrity" because they don't have it they sold it for a few extra bucks. Even charging to play their multiplayer ( does anyone else feel taken across heres something to think about if your on xbox your already paying a monthly fee to play multiplayer now you get double whammied ). They completely threw their artistic vision away when it came to part 3 the direction of the series and what you were promised were tossed away in favor of endings that were never even hinted at, but your choices since part 1 were always said to effect the ending, guess what they don't you can make any choice yiou want and it doesn't effect the ending. Part 3 should have been all about the fans and wrapping things up for them not watering down what worked to increase sales. Wait a minute wouldn't that be artistic integrity not caring about the time or money but rather the quality and sticking to your guns to finish with the vision you started with. Yeah, like I said that seems to have been misplaced so stop hiding behind what's not there. I will assume that since the team behind Mass Effect seemed to have known what the fans wanted for better than two games that there is at least one person at Bioware who disagreed with the way it played out but can't speak out due to losing their job. to this person/people I have a message take heart for YOU WERE RIGHT!!! Spray paint it upon your parking space make a bumper sticker post it on the walls of your cubicle use it as a screen saver as a header on this year's Christmas cards YOU WERE RIGHT AND THEY WERE WRONG and don't ever leave them forget it. For a work of love I sure can't find it. Which brings me to another thing unrelated to Bioware but affecting them. If your a video game critic do your job your job is to rate games not to take into consideration the hours and money that goes into making something. When was the last time you read a movie review where the critic says this movie was a complete disappointment but I'm going to give it a pass because of all the time and money it took to make it. You can spend ALOT of time and money on something and have it come out less than wonderful.Stop pandering and judge the game on its merits does it fit with the series and does it live up to all it's promised?

The more Bioware says to us the angrier I get, I swear they're tring to provoke us sometimes. Oh well, I have a stack of other complete (hopefully) games to play through so I'm not going to let this keep bringing me down. I no longer have the energy to play the speculation game with them anymore. So, I'll just remember the good times (ME1,DA:O,KOTOR), and the ok times (ME2). Hopefully myself and others are sending a strong enough message with our wallets that Bioware/EA gets it.

What irony, I'm starting to get the idea that BioWare or some of the dev team members that they do not have a clue that they are making an RPG. What do you expect? You market 3 games that says that Cmdr. Shepard's choices will have a drastic outcome on how the ending will play out. Perhaps I am alone in this sentiment but, I believe that since ME 3 is the ending of Shepard's story arc it should be the choices and the respective consequences of the player choice that will decide on how the ending will play out. There is only one predetermined ending: Destroy the Reapers. It has been clear that Shepard will not agree to a compromise when it comes to them, therefore if it was done properly Shepard activates the Crucible, then all of your efforts will now take the course of the ending in its proverbial hands. The excuse "we didn't know there was a huge demand for it" contradicts everything you, the developers have said for the past five years, and that only brought you ridicule and criticisms. As if the ending criticisms was not enough...
