THIS is insultingly bad.

PR is worst than Reapers will be ever >.<

What's wrong with that picture seems accurate? It has provoked a big reaction and has received lots of perfect scores, it is a great game, even if the end is weaker than I'd hoped.

I don't get what you're mad at. Did you expect them to make an ad saying "The worst game ever....DON'T BUY!!!"?

You guys raised a fist and couldn't let it go and they used it as a marketting tool. I honestly don't believe none of you figured that this wouldn't be somewhat of a selling point of this game.

What did the article say?

Everyone seems to be overreacting to a headline, without actually discussing the content of the article.

This is why the most of the community is just horrid... Overreacting over stupid idiotic crap like this.

Spinning the negative fan reaction as something positive is sort of a dick move.

What's wrong is that it seems to imply that the fan reaction was a good thing.

It's not an article. It's an advertisement.

The advertisement takes the quote (from an article about the ending controversy) and removes the original context entirely, headlining it with "Over 75 perfect scores", to make it seem like there's some relationship between the perfect scores and the fan reaction the quote is describing.

This is why people view marketing as a profession for scumbags.

And what do you expect them to do? 
Roll over and die?

Also where's the article? I only see people posting and commenting on the picture.

Anytime you want to, you know, post in a topic that already exists about the subject you want to talk about, you should feel free to do so instead of making a new topic, just to try and be a special snowflake.

[RocketManSR2]

 Sweet jeezus. One topic about this stupidity is bad enough.

[bennyjammin79]

LOL. You'll get over it.

I expect them to not use negative reactions as a means to move more mechandise.

There was no article, just the picture. EA is using it as advertising.

That is called lying by omission. Look it up.

[Scott2998]

Wow, it doesn't take much to offend some people.

Ah.

Well, then I'd say the reaction it is getting is justififed. All marketing is lying to a certain degree I suppose, but this takes the cake.

Oh ok ea pr then we know ea is crap. Bioware can't controle ea pr.

I know, right?

But because it doesn't make it seem like OMG THE GAME IS HORRIBLE! Then they don't like it.

Obviously you aren't going to market a game by saying, "Oh, and people hated the endings." But outright lying and spinning the reaction to the endings as 'postive' is a fairly blatant example of shameless marketing.

Instead the ad should have praised elements of the game that were better executed, and got a much better reception from the fanbase.

It never said the reaction was positive. They didn't lie, just so you know.

[Han Shot First]

Sure they did.

If someone didn't know much about the Mass Effect series and doesn't read a lot of gaming press, they might not have heard about the controversy surrounding the endings. Reading that ad, they aren't going to think the ending was controversial. They are going to read it as something that everyone is raving about. And that is the intention of the suits that created the ad.

You do realize that not all the fan reaction has been bad, right? I think they mean in general.
