Of course not, Showing something, anything at E3 might reassure the customers that their fears are being addressed. Bioware can't have that! They can't show those entitled whiners the fruits of their "artistic integrity"!


I'm not surprised they aren't showing anything about this at E3. That's where you showcase the stuff you're proud of not the stuff you're only doing because you made a colossal eff up. Be realistic. Image IPB

I've never understood the "Shut up and take what you can get" stance. I mean, how do you think we got Bioware to agree to make an EC anyway? By bithcing. Bithcing a lot. And the people who aren't happy about getting nothing more than "clarification" and "closure" on what they feel is a fatally flawed ending are perfectly correct to keep on bithcing.

The only feedback they need is "Give me Miranda or Give me Tali".

Or, clarify that everyone doesn't die when the Relays explode.

BASIC marketing tactics here. When an audience is upset with the ending to a film, the stuido may recut it, to make the audience feel better.

Can you imagine the Talimancers backing off if they get to see her again?

I'LL back off if Shepard gets to see Miranda again.

:sigh: a firestorm isnt needed at all imo

people should just take what they can get because what makes you think other forms of sp dlc wouldnt be free to hold us over?

no one is  backtracking with the i wont pay a dime stance if its free so why complain at all is my question


Why should I just take what I can get?

That is an absurdist consumer stance.


let me ask you this. if you pay 10 bucks to go see a film and dont like it for w/e reason do you go to the manager  and say hey you owe me a better film or do you say hey look the movie was bad i want my refund?

or do you go one step further and take the director to court wich btw has happened and was nothing more than a open shut case because the person who filed it thought it was gona have vin diesel in it and he was never advertised for it because it was driven not fast and furious

just because your a consumer dosent mean your always 100% right



and again like i have stated before. people knew about the endings when video of it leaked before release and still bought the product my question to you is if you knew how the ending was and didnt like it why even bother to purchase it anyways?

nobody has a gun to your head and tells you to not cancell your pre order

Dear everyone, after months of complaining about the ending, the last thing you should be doing is telling Bioware to rush the EC. Seriously, stop looking for things to complain about.

BW can take as long as they want to make the EC. I lose more interest by the day, though.

:sigh: i have no issues with people who act like real consumers because the ones who go as nutty and report to the ftc or insults someones inteligence  or claim false advertising imo is nothing more than a individual who suffers from some serious mental health issues

i have yet till this day not seen one ounce of evidence to prove bioware ever false advertised there title

i dont know if it was just nerds raging or if people fail to understand what false advertising is

this replay may sound insulting and thats not my intention but cmon even you have to admit alot of stuff that has been done and said by fans have reached a all time low

As much as I love my Tali, I wouldn't consider it a huge victory to just have something with the LIs.  There are so many issues with the ending that, if not addressed, will warrant further complaints.  How would seeing the crew again, or just saying the relays didn't kill everyone, fix things like galactic travel or that the whole cycle is based on flawed logic?  Like I said, improvement comes from learning from one's mistakes.  If those are not pointed out, then one doesn't learn.  If corrections are made and praised because they only a few things, then it sends the message that all you have to do is do just enough to get by.

Let me answer your question with another: would you be upset if YOU paid $10 for a movie, a trilogy capper--supposedly a blockbuster series, $100 million worth of budget, AAA feature--and it turned out to be a dud? Would you be angry that the production company falsely advertised their product?

or do you go one step further and take the director to court wich btw has happened and was nothing more than a open shut case because the person who filed it thought it was gona have vin diesel in it

It depends on the egregiousness of the offense. The world is not black and white. Context matters in every situation, as you're neglecting to mention trying to make some fallacious point that you'll only end up contradicting ten minutes from now.

Your question is apparently predicated upon the notion--the assumption--that I don't wish to know something within the context in which it was produced. Furthermore, it is also glaringly apparent that you assume I knew about the leaks beforehand.

Apparently, in your world, people shouldn't make decisions for themselves. Simply trust the Tazz. He will tell you what is right and what is wrong.

Some people do.  I never have.  I'm willing to write off 10 bucks and 2 hours and go on with my day.  It's a matter of how much effort you're willing to put into getting satisfaction for a disappointing product.  Some people aren't willing to let go of something that they've invested hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours into only to have the experience end on such a sour note.  Maybe you don't really give a damn.  Fine.  But consumers are perfectly within their rights to complain, and yes, even demand some sort of satisfaction.

I can't make you trust me and would never ask you to but I can tell you that from experience, that you WILL fogive the issues so as long as you are willing to compromise. Think of it like a marriage, you can be married for twenty years and know all the faults of your partner but you still love them. Why? Because happiness blinds you to faults. You love them and accept them for who they are.

It works the same way with art.

No, the fact that EC was needed to rectify a horribly damaged Mass Effect is ridiculous.

Be lucky you're getting anything at all.

This is being done, for you, for free, at the expense of thousands of dollars. Do you have any idea how expensive this stuff is? How much it costs?

Where I come from you don't get anything. If you don't like the film, too damn bad.


I disagree.  If anything we are still waiting to receive the product we paid for in the first place.  The ending does not have to be the one we want, it simply has to satisfy the claims made by Bioware and hold to established story telling conventions.  
The ending failed to deliver on either of these.

There is a comprehensive thread (or two) on this forum regarding the former (claims), and there are several youtube dissertations on the latter (storytelling conventions), so I won't elaborate further.

Sorry--not sorry--but I'm not going to buy into a comparison between a business partnership in which I am provided commissioned art (wholly in contrast to personal art, no less) to a marriage between myself and a partner.

Not buying it in the least.

You don't have to. I told you that you don't.

Science on the other hand, disagrees. When you're happy with something, you'll overlook the faults.

Like the French people who love Paul Verhoven's Showgirls. :sick:

Well, I'm not unwilling to compromise.  I know it'll never address every issue I have with the ending, but I guess I just expect more out of it than you do.

It's called making a logical extension. If you have a problem with it, debate it logically. 

Just because you're a "loose cannon" (lol), you do not have permission to excuse yourself from rationality.

I've already applied a head-canon. My interpretation is not wrong because the game is art.

Should the EC deliver, the original nonsense will no longer be an issue to me.
