I love this line of reasoning.

This isn't a road-trip comedy where some out of luck and naive adolescents go on a soul searching journey and find their purpose through their various escapades.

It's a story with a very obvious build-up to a defined end point, where every action is meant to affect the end, where we were told that's the entire point of making these decisions.

I like the journey, but I don't see the point in traveling if I'm going nowhere nice.


Ya nailed it!:police:

ME3 has been out for 3 months and is currently available for $28 used at Gamestop.

By contrast, Skyrim has been out for 7 months and is currently available for $50 used at Gamestop.

That should give you an idea of how gamers have received each game.

It's more like a roadtrip where the protagonists affect and change a great many people, helping or hindering them along the way.
Then at the end, somebody shoots not only them, but goes back along the road and shoots every single person they came into contact with, removing their influence from the world entirely.

The whole journey was pointless.


That was so soul-crushingly pessimistic I nearly pissed myself laughing. That really is precisely it.



Okay. Cured the genophage.
Got Geth/Quarian peace.
United the mercenaries.

Then I went and spoiled it all and did something stupid like Destroy Ending.

Sorry Geth, you're done.
Sorry Quarians, you'll be living with those suits a little longer.
Sorry Krogan, you'll be stuck on Earth.

 The OP's pic pretty much made me laugh. It's went from: 

A small minority of people just don't get it > Okay maybe not that small but listen the whole game is the ending > Right not that we're admitting we may have made a mess of it, but we're going to release a free enhanced ending to help you understand it > Endings are irrelevant. Everything beforehand is all that matters in a story.

And in all fairness folks how many stories do you know have good a opening, second and final act? Expecting a conclusive finale from the last game in a trilogy is simply unrealistic. Closure is so cliche anyway.

Oh come on Bioware, seriously wake up even Gamestop realise for whatever the reason, the ending sucks.
Chris should show that to the Dev team.

Yup you'd think, but unfortunately Bioware chose to ignore
that and just do whatever the staff at IGN wanted.

Of course IGN is always on the pulse of the gaming community
so maybe they will have made the right choice in the end.

Let's see. I was once a devoted Bioware fan of 12 years, ''a
shut up and take my money'' type of fan, now I just like watching this on-going
car crash.

one of my friends in high school died from a vehicular accident at the age of 15..... I am sure that if she had been able to talk during the coma she was in afterward before passing she would have said that her trip that Sunday was totally worth it.....after all it is all about the journey right?


Are you serious? You're comparing a real life accident to a bad video game ending?

You lack perspective.

So if we go to Disneyland, pack off the kids in the car, we get there and then tell the kids this before turning round and driving back home, what do you think their reaction would be?

Getting there as teh saying goes, is half the fun.

Besides whatever happened to the whole "Take Back Earth" thing?  wasn't that a "destination"?

Bob spent four years working on his Ph.D. When it was finally time to submit his thesis, Bob's work proved utterly fruitless. He ended up failing his Ph.D.

BUT IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION! UNFAIR, UNFAIR, I SAY!

The phrase "It's not about the destination, its about the journey" wasn't originally intended as a device to absolve poor execution of narratives.

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.


Please.

Don't try to castigate me when you can't differentiate between the contexts of reality and of video gaming. Have you ever read a book?

You people desperately need thicker skin if this can crawl underneath. How can you people survive everyday life if such meager things like Gamespot advertisement get you so agitated?

The ad should read:

Play Mass Effect 3 and see why everyone hates the endings! Play ME 3, the game you will love to hate! It's 20's cheaper then the idiots who paid full price and you'll already have the ending spoilt! BUY IT!
