I was sort of hoping this was going to be a joke about Shepard leering at the kid from the window instead of another boring rant. Just to break things up a little.


Lol well...

Damn BioWare seriously? That ad is in extremely poor taste. EXTREMELY poor taste. Who the hell approved this abomination? It's not enough that you used ME3 to milk and exploit your most loyal fans, but now you've use the overwhelmingly negative ending controversy in a sick spin attempt to milk more cash from this cow? I don't begrudge you BW for trying to make money, but I do begrudge the fact that your marketing team seems to lack any kind of morals or integrity.

Can anyone confirm that this came from BioWare? If so I'm done with them, period. God BioWare, this is honestly the straw that broke the camels back for me.


I heard it's from EA's advertisment.
Even so, let's take a fine minute of silence and reminiscence of the past old promises made by Bioware's marketing department regarding ME3, then think for a second if there's even a slight amount of chance that they might still have any kind of morals or integrity.
I mean, all those interviews said the opposite of what was in the game, so I can't be that much off in this regard.


BioWare is pretty much dead to me.  I hope they get liquidated so some of the devs have an excuse to start a new studio free from EA.  That is all.


Yeah, what saddens me is the thought of all the wasted potential and talent in the actual writer team. I mean, look at Tuchanka! :D :unsure: :crying:

Nice workup. This, if it were real, would be the perfect spin on bad publicity. I would have expected this from our Pravda (UNOWHATSTATION).

With the current ending I give the game a 7.5/10 and that's because the multi-player and the fact that they're working on an EC are the only two things keeping the game in the house. Yes the multi-player is fun (I have a FIOS connection) so it makes up for some of the suckage. 95% of the single player game rates a solid 8.5/10: two chapters -- Tuchanka and Rannoch rate around 9.5. There are lulls where it's typical shooter stuff I've seen hundreds of times. I thought the Cerberus stuff was overall pretty dull. Thessia could have had a lot more done with it. Earth was very anti-climatic.

And they really do need to come up with a new plot line other than "saving the universe/galaxy/world from being destroyed". It has gotten quite old.

I never talk about myself in the 3rd person, but Bufardo's ****ing stunned.

Twist the knife, BioWare.

Oh, yeah, "Pride comes before the fall..." We very well may be witnessing Rome burning here.

It's fun to watch entire cities burning.

Or I should have said -- no publicity is bad publicity.

If that image is real, it just destroyed any remaining respect I had for BioWare.

Can't be, no one is that stupid/clueless. 


Disagree. Whoever wrote the ending is clearly extremely clueless and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were high as **** instead of stupid.

So, who wants some hugs?

Might not want to hug me right now, I am conflagrating with the fury of 1000 stars over that image.

*Pokes instead*

:unsure:


That image was part of an email Bioware sent.

I need hugs.  It's real - got that in my e-mail today as part of a message from EA urging me to buy ME3 because it is so awesome.

*Hugs*

WAT!?


The consensus would facepalm if it could

Saving that one. It should be laminated. When we make first contact, we'll show this to the aliens as proof of our unworthiness to exist.
