Ok dude we get it. You don't like Fox News. The fact that you are wrong and that the other news networks are a thousand times more dishonest should have nothing to do with the fact that this ad... this email sent to Bioware's fans and customers was just terrible.

Why are you guys talking about this? Can't we just agree that we all hate most things?

I honestly don't know... guy brought up Fox News for some reason.


I was making a joke, and you decided to say "Nope fox news isn't as bad as the other guys" starting a debate. Your move. 


Eh no... I don't debate on here unless it has to do with Mass Effect 3. When you brough in your incorrect assessment into my thread, I corrected you. Fox News is about a thousand times more truthful than other news outlets and a thousand times more reliable. Thats not saying Fox News is good. That is putting in perspective the terrible nature of the media in general... as seen in this ad. Going above and beyond to twist something to fit a narrative. Like any news network would do. Except Fox... cuz apparently you hate them and that amuses me.

I am sure that if this was not real someone from from the BS Network would post something saying it was fake. However if its real you have to admit this is really good spin, I mean its 100% true however its also 100% missleading....


It is from EA's marketing department. It's real.

If this is real, I lose all respect for BioWare. To use that quote from entertainment weekly to sound like a positive thing and plop it there totally out of context is quite disgusting.

This seems like trolling on their part. The '75 perfect scores' is likely true and in any of those reviews they could have chosen a better quote that is not a not-too-subtle dig at the angry fanbase. So I think EA (or at least the marketing dept.) is having a laugh at the whole situation.

So BioWare's flat out trolling us now. Great.


Only noticed that now?

Plus, they're not only developer that trolls it's fans.
Valve is actually the biggest master in that.

Whatevs. You can't trust a thing Fox says since "
Going above and beyond to twist something to fit a narrative. `` is their MO. If the others are worse in your opinion, you must have some faith in Fox, in which case you are doing something that is thoroughly moronic.

No... not lying... just... twisting the trust.

...And Hitler was also a leader.

You see what I did there?

Not only you open 12793492634 new ending threads every single day, you also bring Hitler comparsion? Seriously dude, you need a break


Thats a lot of threads...
Yes... its to help make a point. Sometimes it takes extreme examples to make things clear.
If I ever want or need advice from someone I do not know... who has proven time and time again to be the least credible person to make such judgements, I'll let you know. :)

The thing that really gets me is, they're sending this to people who most likely already have the game. You know, the 80 to 90 percent (admittedly, may not be accurate) of which hate the endings. So, they're just alienating their core fan base even more.

You guys really need to check in on your PR department. Whew.

Seems to be legit. Fox news would be proud.


Hah. Funny because of all the news networks... Fox is the most reliable.




HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


lol this


I'm not advocating Fox News... but that should tell you how bad all other news outlets are.


No. Just no. No one is worse than fox, literally nothing comes from fox that is remotely accurate. Ever.
However, I know very little about the other American news networks. 




Then how can you judge Fox as the worst then?

Sample the other major American news services, and then decide.




Why? Fox couldn't be less honest.  You can't have less that zero credibility. I'm not american. Fox news is the only one bad enough that I've actually heard of it. 




Most of the heat regarding Fox News comes from the internet. All because some ******, bad off for a sensationalist story, decided to slur off on Mass Effect. Then there was the issue with 4chan being the "Internet Hate Machine", which isn't far from the damned truth.

In other words, stupid sh*t. Stuff that don't register on the radar of the world outside of the basement.

When it comes to run of the mill news reporting, Fox isn't any worse than the others. And somewhat (note I said 'somewhat') less biased than the left-leaning networks and papers. But ultimately, they all suck balls, since "journalism" in the United States now translates into "agenda". Left or right, it doesn't matter. They all ultimately play the same damned game.

And it's interesting to note that the "conservative" Fox News was started by leftist Rupert Murdoch, who tends to flip-flop between support for political positions and politicians on both the left and right.

My philosophy is when it comes to news reporting, drop the f**king slant and give me hard facts. Even if they are boring and don't help jack up your ratings or readership. And they need to quit trying to mold opinions, since that's not their job. They are there to provide me with info on events happening in the world.

The American Media is pretty terrible when it comes to news, but Fox News IS the worst.

They are openly and unashamedly a mouth piece of the Republican party. It's straight up sickening seeing the Republicans use Fox News to dupe people into buying into their messed up ideals.

Like, I wont argue that the other news outlets are bad, but Fox IS the worst. There is no arguement here.

It does when you are dealing with thickheaded people. Its best to use big and simple examples to bring a point across. :)

I still think that those reviews it received within hours of ME3's release and all the hype and everything was planted. Because I think they knew they were going to receive backlash. Those reviews only are about the bulck of the game and not the ending. And I doubt the big time critics that reviewed the game never played it or at least not in its entirety. They were probably payed a lot of money to just give it 2 thumbs up. Just like all the cheering, applauding and Q&A questions at the PAX East panel were all planted questions.

I think people are getting payed to back up BioWare's artistic integrity PR nonsense. That's just my opinion.
