I'm just waiting for the "Please buy our game, really it doesn't suck that bad" ad. Every time I read one of these ads like this, I get this faint whiff of desperation. If you have to resort to trickery and spin to get sales, you've done something wrong.
It's not about the destination, its about the journey....

Just....wow.
Instead of making any attempt to owning up to why alot of ppl are upset, they just continue to insult them all by making idiotic ads like these.
Edit: Oh and as a disclaimer, the destination makes the entire journey meaningless. Have fun! xP

Besides the fact that they probably have massive stockpiles left.

I know that, I guess what I meant was instead of them trying to respect the ppl who are upset they make ads like these. (especially after some of us have bought the game from their damn store in the first place...)

That image has got to be photoshopped ... please tell me it is.
Sorry, I saw it on my Gamestop app on my laptop today. Except that one says 30% off for the weekend. I had a nice chuckle when I saw it. I'd agree with it if the journey was more rpg and less shooter. Plus I don't count it as much of a journey when they keep tossing MP addons at us. Pretty much wash, rinse and repeat at that point, not sho much progression story wise.

I like how they aren't even trying to defend the ending, now, lol. They're really desperate to get those extra copies off of their shelves...

Could have just been the douchebag associate I was talking to, but they don't seem to like when you mention getting burned by preordering ME3 because of the ending.

Wow, that’s probably the biggest indictment on the ending I’ve seen. It’s not about the Destination, it’s about the Journey….. sounds like some pep talk crap my baseball coach would spew out after the game when we just got pasted by 20 runs….loser lip service we called it.
Bioware you could of brought the awesome..but decided to bring the awful…what a damn shame…

I hate that quote but it's funny that they've resorted to ads like this.
Agreed, easily one of the worse quotes ever.

Hm... I wonder how many returns of ME3 they got?

This is pretty much my experience after working my way up to the end of the series.
Not something "the journey" alone can fix I'm afraid.....especially when its all made meaningless by the destination in the first place.

Bullsh*t.
The end either justifies the journey or completely nullifies it. The interpretation is yours. That ad is insulting.
Then I feel sorry for you if you think this is how you think about anything then. In life, you just end up dieing anyway and you think everybody will just remember you for that moment at the end? What about people remembering you for what you did throughout your life. That is how I remember the Mass Effect trilogy: THE ENTIRE EXPIERENCE. Not just the last 10 minuets of the ender game.
move on please.

^ Don't bull**** people in here. Have you ever taken a class in literature?
People remember the beginning and the ending of a story most. If they don't like the ending, the entire experience is nullified.
