They are gonna hit you with self-selecting bias. They want to say BSN is completely uncorrelated with ME3 owners. It doesn't matter how big a poll gets or how lopsided the results. They say you can't infer ANYTHING about the population.

By they way, they liked the ending. Coincidence?


Hey, I thought the ending was kinda meh. Does that count as "liking"?

The people in here on both sides, right or wrong and those attacking us are indeed wrong as they prove by continually ignoring evidence or skewing facts or logic.. will not change.

As such there is no point being in this thread anymore unless they do stop trolling every thread while continually ignoring facts, skewing them, or lying.


Really? Really?

No one has "attacked" you. Your logic and "facts" have been called into question. Those aren't attacks.

And no one is 'trolling' this thread. You spew lies, you're going to be called out on it. There is no trolling going on. I think its you who is ignoring facts, skewing them, and lying.

But hey. Who am I to judge? If that's how you want to be, more power to you. But don't go around calling people trolls and saying they're attacking.

You have no evidence but assumptions on a poll which was proven to be rigged

You used troll wrong just a few moments ago, doesn't fit the definition.

Now you're a liar.


No wonder you accuse BioWare of lying to you in the statements they made. You confuse the truth with lies. It's so clear now.


Actually we accuse them of lying because they blatantly did, and then we quoted every single one of them, numerous times, in numerous threads.

You lied, and now you are ignoring that by focusing on something else, and again proving you're a liar.

Just look up the terms you use in the dictionary before you use them, it'd be so much easier for you. As for other terms not commonly found in the dictionary, acceptable and mature sites still have definitions for them that are accepted by the majority.


The only statement they lied about was the MP not being required for getting the best ending. Everything else has been disproven to be lies through facts and common sense - repeatedly. Please, stop lying. Stop being condescending. I know it's hard, but at least try.

Well, before ME3 i have never complained or voted on a poll about video game endings. but ME3's ending just left such a bad taste that i finally had to voiced out my distaste for the inane ending.

How many of the million plus people who bought ME3 are dissatisfied like me? We will probably never know, but i am sure there are a fair number of people like me who were never dissatisfied by a game to the point of voicing it out online until ME3's ending.

The ending was a serious mistake, simply because of how good the rest of ME3 was.
I am going to reserve my judgement of the extended cut DLC until i see it and play it, but i really hope bioware can fix the ending issue well enough with their "clarification" and provide me with "closure" if they refuse to redo the entire catalyst nonsense.

So you're demanding that we sit in the corner and shut up unless we agree with you? We're not allowed to refute you disingenuous assertions? Not allowed to show how your claims are incorrect using actual facts and actual logic? 

A piece of advice, if you will permit me, study this chart and understand why it is utterly impossible to actually have a conversation with you:

We can reverse the same logic back against your side and say coincidence they hated the ending. Funny thing is, you and your kind cry and attack everyone who enjoys or posts a different opinion then yourselves while calling everyone trolls and PAID PR.. but your beef is with Bioware and the ending yet spend your lives fighting us lol. Meanwhile people like me, who love Bioware, are here remaining civil and tired of your whining going on a month and a half.

If you hate ME3's ending, Bioware, EA, etc why are you here? no where else to go? we have a reason to be here, we're not disastified in anyway. I suppose  insults and threats to strangers is more fun than enjoying a movie?

They are here because they still care about BioWare and want them to get out of what they believe to be a decline, but don't want to pay money to reinforce the negative habits they see BioWare has taken up. Like if you have a cousin on drugs, you would be there to help him through his addiction but you wouldn't give him money because you don't want him to just blow it on drugs. Maybe when he cleans up he will gain enough trust back to be lent money. They're here because, as much as they do not trust them or like what they've been doing, they still care about them enough to share their feelings and help them get better, even if "better" is a subjective term in this case.

"Self-selecting" in this case refers to people passionate about the games.  I believe that draws from both sides of this issue, as you and I can attest.  Multiple votes can only significantly skew the results if the sample size is pitiful, or if you have a really, really dedicated a-hole who makes it his mission to skew them lol.  All polls are advertised to get one specific result.  That doesn't make them invalid.

The only way to get an completely valid poll is to contact mass effect 3 users independently of any affiliation with this site or related sites.  You will still not get a significantly varying result.


And in a fair and equal world, it would. But from the very start, this poll was allowing multiple votes which allowed the "We hate the ending" side to jump out to a huge lead that, quite frankly, disencfranchised anyone who would be pro-ending from voting in it. I think, for example, it's clear that I'm pro-ending. Yet I've never voted in that poll, nor will I. It is simply pointless.

Unless and until EA does a random survey of registered ME3 ownes, there can be no kind of proof one way or another. Though, for the record, I have never - and will never, without supporting evidence - claim that the pro-ending side is in the majority. I have also conceded - repeatedly - that the anti-ending side is a majority of BSN users. For whatever that's worth.

lol @ people saying a majority liked the endings.

No really. Thats gold.


Those might be the funniest things I've read all day. It's just a statistical fluke tens of thousands of people have gone to vote on poll on the internet about a video game. Why 100,000? What a tiny number that is! Clearly the silent majority loves the game so much they cannot be bothered to vote!

Uh huh.

Even if you're as the same mind of me that there is probably more to the ending, it doesn't excuse the fact that it will go over many more casual fans heads. And no offense but I don't think too many folks are keen on Ending DLC to begin with free or not. I think just about everyone would have rather had the "real ending" with their copy of the game. Either way this whole thing has been handled very poorly and continues to be so.

The poll is fine. All the polls around the internet from multiple countries show a majority don't like the ending.

I like the ending, and I am absolutely looking forward to the DLC. I, for one, am always a fan of more content over less. And while I enjoyed the ending, I can admit it has flaws (specifically, the Normandy and the crash) and am looking forward to seeing how those situations, among others, are cleared up.

I also am a huge fan of the unofficial ME3 ending slides, simply because they're fantastically done and bring much more to a universe that I'm not ready to say goodbye to.

At the same time there should be an equal number of pro enders doing the same thing.  Being an equal world and all.  If we were such a minority then multiple votes shouldn't be able to overtake the proenders.  What percentage of people do you think liked or enjoyed the endings?

Funny. Yes, evidence suggests you're in the majority.

No, it's not. It's been proven that BSN polls are rigged.

Regardless, polls aren't accurate.

Confirmation bias is not the same thing as "evidence".

Yeah, but it's concrete evidence, you know.

They wouldn't believe logic and the truth if you beat them over the head with it.

Um political opinion polls and census' are done using a MUCH smaller sample (2-5 thousand). The statistics derived from those polls are applied to the population of a state/province or even a country to accurately determine statistics of a populous. Most of the ending poll sample sizes I've seen number in the 10's of thousands of people. We can't be sure of how diverse the sample is, but calling it trivial or unreliable is simply illogical.

Edit: Just because someone does not actively voice their opinion about the ending, it does not mean they automatically like it.  For everyone six unsatisfied customers, only 1 will speak up about it, the rest will simply stop buying your product.

Then go rig this poll:

Make the majority not like ME2. Let's see you do it. Or are you speaking hypothetically?

They also use random sampling and don't allow multiple voting. That's why political opinion polls and census' are valid, and this poll is not.

They're gonna say the polls suffer from self-selection bias and it doesn't matter how big the poll is or how lopsided the results are. Or that there is confirming evidence everywhere you look. They're wrong.

I'm surprised you didn't lose confidence after DA2 OP (and others).

That whole game felt rushed and lazy. Its like every detail and scene was screaming NO ONE SPENT ANY TIME ON THIS.
