This is so funny. Look, I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but to believe that because it was published in an article, that it makes it any more legit, affirming, or real than a post on the forums is just dumb. The guy who wrote that article is probably a regular dude who hates the endings just as much as you do or don't. His professionalism is apparent as he quotes leaked information that is completely under question as fact. Listen, I don't care if it was real or not, you don't take your job seriously if you are pulling that kind of thing.
If you don't like the endings, fine - it has always been your right to have an opinion. Insulting BioWare because you feel betrayed about an ending that they kept telling you was going to happen is your own fault. Appreciate a story for what it is and move on. I don't like every ending that I read, but that's fine because that's the story I'm reading. Shep died in my story and it's sad and I wish I could have prevented it, but I'm sure Shepard wished the same damn thing. It's irrelevant because that's how the story ended.
This article is another shining example of everything wrong with media. It's biased, unprofessional, and caters to the popular attitude of our self-serving culture. Even as an opinion piece, it's muddled with self-pity.
I'm done.
As opposed to the unbiased glowing ten out of ten reviews that came from one company that has a corporate relationship through their parent company with EA, and that put one of their reviewers in the game and basically in Shepard's bed. And another review source that is owned by a videogame retailer that wrote several reviews on ME3 and said to ignore other people about it-because everyone should listen to people whose livelihood rests on lots of people buying games. Good reviews sell games. And all good reviews for ME3 were on review sites that get a lot of money through ad revenue paid for by, wait for it, companies like EA and Bioware.
Why is there such a disparity between what paid reviewers have said and fan reviews as well as unpaid reviews? Why do literary professors, SF writers, literary reviewers agree with fans that think the ending stunk?
Actually Bioware never said any such thing about this ending-in fact, they said so much that was never fulfilled as promised, how can you even imply that they told fans this was the way it would end?
And, if the interview and statements made by Patrick Weekes were untrue, where's the legal action to get such things redacted and corrected publicly?
And please don't tell me you think the ending was something oh so original written by Bioware and all-it isn't. It's from the 2000 game, Deus ex and borrows heavily from the ending of Babylon 5-chaos and order and from the Matrix. It's artistic vision all right, just not Bioware's. It's well known they are big B5 fans and fans of Lovecraft as well as the Princess Bride among other things. They never met an ending they didn't like so they thought they'd us a bunch in the ending of ME3.
The reason the ending does not fit the game is because it was never intended for this story.
