All you nay sayers are the kind of people who would rather take it up the a** than speak up, it seems.
If you can't see that then I suggest you think really good about why you're posting here. You can disagree all you want, but for the right reasons, not because it's funny or stupid.

I'm getting into politics here, but every cause is just, no matter it's significance.

I was making a point retard.  If this was the case,  politicians wouldn't put up bilboards.  The point is not to insult Bioware, so there is nothing to sue about.  The billboard will make a point, and you can't sue against that.  You can try, but you might as well throw your money in a hole. 

Stop acting like you guys know ****, you don't know anything.


Well your 'point' was about as dumb as your whole arguement and calling people who are beating you retards, just shows your lack of maturity. Was that last comment to yourself? I know when I was young my Mom used to say reading out loud while writing something helps you remember it ;p

I don't get it with you people.
What is it that affects you so much that you have to argue, criticize
and constantly fight with the Retakers? If you want your endings so
badly go ahead and keep them, let us have ours we're not stopping you
from keeping your endings. I'm sure everyone would be fine with getting
alternate endings instead of a complete rewrite. 

You people
argue and criticize us for nothing, I just don't get it. What is it that
you are defending? "Artistic integrity"? BioWare's pride? EA? The
future of gaming? 

If you have nothing to say but instead just
want to criticize, argue and insult without a reason then don't waste
your time, go enjoy Mass Effect 3 and its endings, I'm sure you'll do
yourself and everyone else a favor. 


I'm not arguing,infact, the quote you took this from was to someone I was agreeing with. You realized that right? it doesn't help your point at all lol. If I want my endings? they were never mine, they were Bioware's. You don't have an ending and never will. I think you have been living under a rock for the last 5 weeks sir, your side is the aggressive one just like you are being confrontational with me atm lol.

I do enjoy how you tell me not to waste my time, but your side has spent much much more complaining and fighting every article, every company, and every pro ender since launch


Yes go ahead and deflect my questions. At least we have a reason to fight, like I said you people argue over nothing, so what if we get a DLC. How does it affect you? So what if we fight EA and BioWare? How does it affect you? Like I said before, you people have no reasons to argue, we do. EA and BioWare lied about what we were getting, I'm pretty sure you've seen all the evidence, all the dev quotes, whatever. You can't say we're complaining over nothing.

I knew when this "movement" was announced I knew it was gonna be bad. "Retake Mass effect"? If that absurd name doesn't define "entitled" I don't know what does. 


Let me remind you about what you agreed with, this quote which is nothing more than an insult but what else can be expected from someone like you and don't bother saying that you do not argue because I've seen your posts and I know that everything you say is either insults or arguing with us about your so called "points". For the record if I recall correctly, it was the pro-enders who began arguing with us not the other way around. Think about it logically, why would we argue with them, there's no reason for that since it gets us nowhere, something that we apparently know better than you do. 

If you're going to insult at least have a valid reason to do so, otherwise everyone will think you're just a troll, in fact I think everybody thinks that already. 



My "posts"? What posts? I hardly ever post on this site and I dont think Ive ever really argued with anyone other than right now I suppose and never attempted to make any "points" as you call it. Im mainly just a lirker for the most part and for good reason. Theres a reason why the BSN has a stigma for being a hub for whiners. Any time someone would say "hey I liked the ending" some smart ass would come in and say "so you like plot holes and crap writing?" And then chastised for not wasting the time to write a drawn out wall of text explaining why. Sure theres smack-talking from both sides, Im not denying that, but whoever "started it" is completely irrelevant. As far as this debacle is concerned Im just calling like it is. If someone is willing to spend thousands of dollars to put up a billboard campaign to change the ending to a video game they seriously need to get their priorites straight. And its going to be shown in the media for exactly what it is. Entitlement. And all the people who are actually handling this in a mature manner are going to be grouped up with these guys. Its not right.

        And you know what gets me? None of this matters. At all. Its a mundane, inconsequential problem that Bioware has been kind enough to address.Theres nothing wrong with voicing your opinons on the ending but people are blowing this way out of proportion. If its bad enough for you to go through all this trouble then theres one very simple solution to this ending issue.

Play something that you actually enjoy.

Seriously? A billboard?

Face it, the endings aren't going to be changed, not now, not ever. The best you're going to get is them being expanded upon.

The only response this might generate will be some response by EA stating "look at all of the ****s we give".

It's been a month, Bioware have offered a half way house solution of which some of retake wanted from the start and others did not. Let's not kid outselves here this has no longer anything to do with the ending for many, it's a power trip. At this stage it is childish and after a month of the constant whining, it would seem more inclined to think those who are planning on throwing such money away on billboards are nothing more than people with real life emotional issues.

Hell even my friend who has owned almost every single Bioware game (most being CEs) and in fact is the one who bought me some of them to get my interested in what they create many years ago only took a day herself to get over her disappointment. She disliked the ending as much as any of you and been long time follower of Bioware more so than myself and if notice my join date you can see I'm not some newbie to the franchise either.

She is only 21 and she has more emotional maturity than half of you lot still whining and moaning. She got over it in a day while you have been moaning for a month so no I do not think this anymore has anything to do with the endings for many of you, a power trip sums it up just right. Time to grow up or seek professional help, councelling and such.

Seriously... Councelling, much cheaper and many of you need it more. Like I said time to grow up, look at the reactions of fellow retakers who are stepping away from this, the negative feedback your getting on here, the negative press and even more media and gamers calling you whiners or entitled all because of your actions like this. Taking it too far over 10 minutes of a video game that many of you played a month ago and still haven't had the emotional maturity to deal with your hurt feelings.

The phrase "this hurts you" is tip of the iceberg, drop in the ocean compared to how much it does and will towards your reputation both in the media and from the rest of the gaming public.

So in TL:DR the decision is stop acting like 5 year olds with no common sense.


Pardon me ? you say seriously people who have been here for 5 years .
Do not agree with the ending , knowing full well it is a pile of rubble should move on with it .
Cause they appease you with the fancy wording of extended end cut , and free DLC .

They learn to let go , do not get emotionally attached so simply put , it is not worth the effort .
WoW ok fine , that is the next gen of bioware fans for you , they are not really fans .. cause they don´t get attached.
No wonder people future look so bleak , when we grownup are gone , you guys can´t even fight your own battles.

Now I understand the no hope feeling in society , when you know you been done injustice , you just walk away .
No wonder they need to make casual games , cause the current generation of gamers .
Are simply put not dedicated enough or smart enough , maybe clarify is what they have to do .
Cause they cannot undestand the ending , that it is total rubbishe .

This idea took stupidity to a whole new level. Don't expect anything less in response.

If you hate how people are having a go at you in here, you try this pathetic stunt and the media and rest of the gaming public will rip you a new one as far as insults and negativity. Many of retakers are also turning against you on this, it has gone to far and you have crossed the line so much so that in both threads in both sections it is 9 to 1 (against vs for) with regard to disliking this ridiculous idea compared to those who like or back it. Take the hint already.

Spend your money better on councelling because you will gain more positive reaction and consequence than will do with this childish idea. Take a step back and look at the big picture here, it doesn't take much of a distance need to go back to see how bad this is.

Why are you even responding? This is not aimed at you. Stop feeling self-important and realise this has nothing to do with you. You can open a thread yourself and 'discuss' why it's stupid.

I agree. This has gone on far enough.

You moan about the game and when you get an announcement of something that is free, you respond with a billboard? Whats happening to you, Retake?

you know there was this great quote on bash.org lemme see if I can find it...
ahh, here it is
doesn't actually have much to do with anything but I really like it.

Look at my join date, also know that I have been following Bioware for longer than five years and I am their core fanbase too. I have been gaming for more than three decades, generation does not apply. I am the older generation.

Meh. The ending is crap and the game story in general was crap in my eyes as well. Let it go and move on, stop advertizing EA and more importantly, stop wasting time and money.

That's a good point, how well articulated someone is with demeaning insults should have no bearing on whether or not they get a ban.

I don't like to comment on moderation(and don't plan to make it a habit), I understand it's not my position. It is my opinion that a few people here deserve at least a warning though.

Billboards? Really? Do you guys have "hold the line" tattoos also? I dont think the ending is on par with the rest of the series either, but you guys are obsessed at this point. Do you put this much time and effort into anything in real life, or just the land of make believe?

Wow, before the Retake movement was at least raising money for charity. Now the movement has splintered into two camps: those who are "cautiously optimistic" about the 'Extended Cut' and those that will settle for nothing less for brand new endings. Wow.

The announcement of the 'Extended Cut' made it pretty clear that the endings are not being changed, so this whole billboard movement is simply a waste of money.

Councelling to get over disappointment is a valid way to spend money.
