IGN has the amazing capability to create what it would like to believe and also to throw all contrary evidence aside and to believe in it no matter what. They are the most complete sellout to massive conglomerations that the gaming community has ever seen.

Not only do they sell out themselves to these conglomerations that are interested only in massive profits at the complete and total expense of game quality, but they are ecstatically enthusiastic about spreading their exclusively profit tarnished views to others. One only has to take one look at gamespot.com to see their shameless corruption. Though they should be ashamed of themselves, any sane human being will know that they are FAR beyond the point of doing so.

IGN is a blight upon the gaming community. They are simply an organization that will side with the conglomeration that pays them the most. Among these greedy conglomerations, EA is the greatest among them--so it should be absolutely NO surprise that IGN or ANY other website operated by them would side with them, no matter how wrong they may know themselves to be. Profit: 100% importance. Quality of game: 0%. Player experience: also 0%, as long as it nets them more profit. Business is driven by profit: any sane person will recognize this. But IGN and all those related to them have completely abandoned the cause of creating great games. Where as creating awesome games was once equal to that of generating profit, the former has now been completely swallowed by the latter. Boby Kotick is but the pinnacle of this atrocity--the guilt lies with EA and all the other game companies that have sold themselves out to the likes of them. EA and all the others like them now know all too well that there are better ways of making money than making good products--and now, profits are far too important for them to consider anything else.

I know of this well, and my greatest disappointment is not towards EA or even Bioware for selling themselves out for a quick buck or two at the expense of ALL the fan respect that they once commanded. I grieve most for the magnificent and beautiful universe that they created, and what it could have been if they simply chose the right choice--the choice that Commander Shepard--their own creation--would have chosen. EA has wrecked so many wonderful and memorable franchises (Command and Conquer, anyone?). The fact that they ran the Mass Effect series into a brick wall should be no surprise to anyone, but the disappointment towards the Bioware management who knowingly allowed themselves to be led like sheep to the slaughter, along with the affection of their fans, can never be erased. But though the grievances cannot be forgotten, they can be overshadowed by greatness. Greatness that we fans have come to look forward from Bioware.

RIP Bioware. Not the current Bioware--you will be mourned for all eternity. RIP the OLD Bioware. The ones who created KOTOR and Mass Effect 1 and 2. We will remember your great works. You will be missed. We, your fans, sincerely pray and hope that your one and final shot of restoring the grand finale to your most awesome universe that you have created--the Mass Effect universe--will be something worth remembering--not of the willingness to sell out the hopes of your fans for cheap, immediate profit, but for the courage of restoring the Mass Effect universe to what ALL of you must know is worthy of your previous works.

What will I personally do? Should Bioware throw this last chance away (more chance that most game companies get) and release another half-baked and insulting ending, we players will be ashamed to call ourselves your fans, and will abandon your games. Dragon Age 3 will not sell nearly as well as you hope. Nor will any future Bioware production. Is this a threat? Of course not! I can only speak for myself. But I can make an educated prediction. If the finale to your most successful and most popular franchise to date was a complete and total failure, what can we expect from your Dragon Age universe? Or any other game universe that you might create?

But should the extended cut be something the Mass Effect fans will be satisfied with, I will forget the grievances that have been inflicted upon all of us. Though that ending should have shipped with the game in the first place, by fixing the clearly flawed ending, and by sticking up for your dedicated fans who have stuck with you for five or more years of Mass Effect's existence, Bioware will have set itself aside from the bulk of the other game companies. If this were to come to pass, I confidently expect that many of the Bioware fans, including myself, will be proud to support your company in the future. We fans have held Bioware in the highest regard for years. I beg you, please do us proud.

I couldn't care less about them making money or the fact that I paid for my game... If it anoys me then it's not because I have a problem with paying for things, if the product is flawed then thats another matter entierly.

The ending does seem broken imo, it does not conform to the standards I've come to expect from mass effect. This endign might have worked better in a game that didn't put so much emphasis on storytelling and player driven storyplaying in a RPG setting.. for a FPS it might have worked if it was one of those were you play a corporal and he/she has nothing to say about whats happening, it's just yes sir I'll destroy the universe for you. No questons, sir! Sorry about all the blood sir, your friend Marauder shields got a little careless with his gun.

Basically, one of the folks at IGN hasn't seen these forums and largely thinks that people hate EA for making money. 

We hate IGN because they were on Bioware's tip from day one - they lied their butts off.  The ending sucked, and you guys lied.  When a critic lies like that, their name and rep goes down with the rest of that burning ship.  Bioware and EA ruined a really good series with a terrible suck butt ending - proving their hatred of fans worldwide.  EA isn't about making good games - they are about making a profit.  Somewhere in the mix, they forgot HOW to make sustainable profits.  They stopped producing quality polished products, and started just using advertising hype.  They rode Bioware's good name into the ground - making max profits for the least payout.  In the end, everyone lost but EA.  The fans werre left with a terrible game ending.  Bioware just flaunts an attitude - we are too dumb to get it - us mere amoebas of flesh and blood.  We get an extended cut we never wanted - to an ending we never wanted.  Its like an open wound with salt in it.

Any time a developer and writer come up with an ending where evil wins, and the main character is raped and destroyed, while someone else steals off with the love of their life -  then you will have issues with your fans.  Its bad enough you stab me, but did you have to work the blade like that?  Did you realy think, Bioware, that after you did this to me that I would do ANYTHING for you ever again?  Why would I spend another dime on your garbage?

The article also mentions that fans have already forgotten about ME3 and its utter fail ending.  Well, good sir, we have not forgotten.   Nor shall we EVER forget.  That ending broke all ties - and the flippant attitude of "We aren't going to fix it and...  um, and *Artistic Inegrity!*" is what sealed the deal.  Everyone involved in this fiasco will pay the piper.

So yeah - IGN can go on making trash up all they want to.  They have already proven they are not in touch with the game, nor the fans.  IGN was so busy touting about how awesome ME3 was that they forgot to actually look at the ending.  IGN will learn - its the FANS who hold the power, not EA, not Bioware, and not IGN.  When this is all tallied up and the chips are cashed in, its the fans that make the call.  We, the purchasers - we are the one that puts food on ALL of your tables.  You have offended a great many of us with that trash - and we will (are/have) take our business elsewhere.

Dear Tonymac/Greed1914-
nuff' said, You just beat me to the punch (pun intended) .
I will keep my integrity (especially of my mind) by   checking other EA games  with a long stick.
I had a thought : would it not be tragic in COD:  Black Ops 2 would offer more choice/paths as far ending is concerned? (I am NOT a COD fanboy)
I would however not blame entire IGN  -I've red  many good, reliable reviews and found to agree with them after buying games/watching movies-Avengers would be best example, it WAS spot on.

And if we are trolling on IGN for ME3 review -we should not forget that many (if not most)  review sites did not point ending fiasco too.
If they are so much in bed with EA that they (IGN) were forwarned it is not a true ending is an open question. That is why I always check gamers' reviews. I was warned and and bought ME3 anyway -and I must say I think I would do it again-just for the journey. And yes I hope for good EC and Omega DLC too.
But  IGN marriage with EA in ME3 looks unproffesional to say the least, and badly executed to boot; killing E.Wong (quite good background character for me) to replace her with Allliers was terrible choice, especially that 2 journalists were alrady set in story. I would love to have Emily on Normandy, Al-Jilaani would also be a nice and unexpected addition (If she was not punched before that is  ). Both - if expanded well- could offer an inside look into Alliance for player, possibly LI -much better that present one-night-stands .

Ah yes, "IGN". We have dismissed that site.

IGN gave ME 3 a 9 or 10. Can't recall. But I don't trust them. THey are obviously self serving and creeping into EA"s bed time sheets.

I've been in the journalism business for some time and that's pretty terrible. I never agreed with EA being the worst company in the world. The idea is ludicrous. Anyone who picks up a newspaper knows that. Not that there are not disturbing trends, however. The point is, the article is blatantly one-sided and does nothing more than defend one side against the other with assumptions and nothing more. In this kind of article, you find voices for both sides and let them make their case. Anything you present that is not in quotes or preceded by he/she said better be fact and not an opinion. If this guy went to a journalism school, he needs to give his degree back.
More on topic, if they read their own comment section (on articles as recent as the Wii U announcement), they would know that the ending issue is still being talked about.

Spot on.

Anyone out there who thinks that the staff at IGN is anything beyond a bunch of entitled gamers huddled together on the EA gravy train, turning up their noses at everyone else while loudly calling the kettle black repeatedly, is just setting themselves up to be disppointed....or darkly amused at the staggering irony.

[Merilsell]

That sums up everything there is to say about EA. Perfectly.

Also, shut up, IGN.

[twinsfun]

I will never forget, the ending stinks and so far my new games are not bioware and till they fix it, will never buy another

[Pee Jae]

People still read IGN? Better yet, they actually take it seriously? Hahahaha!

[Shaigunjoe]

To use the word everyone was a mistake, probably almost everyone would have been better. I would suspect the Story and Campaign Discussion forum would be a place the ending wouldn't be forgotten whether it was good or bad.

[blah64]

IGN never fails to annoy.

[linsanity]

ahh yes... IGN.. they would say that.

[TOBY FLENDERSON]

Read this earlier, look at the comments section. "It's Glorious"

[SpartanCommander]

I'm starting to think that someone is getting desperate to stop the complaints.

I also have a feeling is that if they keep the current deviation of the Mass effect theam for 3's ending they will have a fresh batch of complaints.

There's still a flat earth society. Their views are as important as the ending haters.

Must be pretty important then, since it was the outcry of ending haters which led to Bioware putting out the ending cut.
