I keep trying to get over it. But I keep finding myself back here. Is it normal that you enjoy a story so much, and something like this happens and you feel nothing, but sadness?


yeah, i'm right there with you. i wish i could let it go, but i loved the story so much it's hard :blush:

This whole thing has taught me a few lessons.

1. Never get invested in a story.
2. Always wait for the price to drop before purchasing/bargain bins/2nd hand/etc
3. Read the fan reviews first.
4. Writing scripts for video games is really easy if ME3 is what passes for a good videogame these days.

It doesn't actually matter. I will not stop yelling until it is no longer the answer.

This failure will forever haunt them, and EA will probably do the same with Bioware as they did with Bullfrog and Westwood. Take the name and toss it out the window... Oh, they managed that them selves.

Problematic: this only helps the genocide ending and leaves nothing for other ones. Though I could accept it if Shepard was resurrected in the other two.


I honestly think Shepard should have been able to survive in all High EMS endings, regardless of color.

I can imagine a scene similar to the breath could happen in Control, though they'd have to tone down the who "see SHepard's body charring to a cinder" scene.

Synthesis is so whacked I don't know what could be done with it.

But as it is, we have to work with what's given us.  And that means Destroy.

Just give exposition about Shepard gaining a new body somehow. It wouldn't truly have been that hard.

I wonder if the guys at Bioware are saying "They will go away soon" or "Whatever. We have their money anyways" or even "They will buy our next title anyway. Look how invested they are!"

What people seem to forget is that Shepard's "breath-scene" was nothing but an Easter egg. BioWare never had any plans to let the hero live. They threw it there for now reason. And that's the worst part. That scene in not in the game because it is suppose to mean something, not because it was part of the writing, but just... well, because. They wanted to do some trolling with fans (like the whole ending wasn't enough!) and they did. That is why there were not expansions on this scene – according to BW, Shepard is dead no matter what. And Chris’ post only proves that kind of thinking. Which stinks, if you ask me.


Basically. The whole Breath scene was just Prothy the Prothean's big brother.

It could be done.

I suspect that a game expansion or a particularly long DLC, (proportionally more expensive), could be successful.

Imagine an expansion/DLC were we see the Shepard’s companions adventurous return to earth, with the bonus of finally finding what happened to their famous commander upon their return, (and having a brief reunion, if she was still alive):

“Follow the crew of the Normandy in their last, epic, journey.Play as Liara, or Garrus, in an electrifying adventure, as the Normandy traverses the dangerous Hades nebula in their way back to Earth. Learn how they discover Shepard’s fate. Battle the mysterious and vicious <insert cool & alien name> and uncover their terrible secret. “



I like the idea of getting to play as the crew finding their way back to civilization. 

However-

I'd like to see the people who pulled the trigger on ME3's final direction barred from ever influencing the ME universe in any capacity ever again. I'm all for second chances, as ME3 was enthralling from begining to almost end, but for nobody to step up and even acknowledge a problem is disheartening. 

Interestingly, after ME2 I was part of the group who was left pretty unsatisfied with how Liara was handled in that game. As time went on I wrote Bioware off for not caring what the fans think. Then they dropped the LofSB DLC on my face and my faith in the team was restored... in full. That sense of "Well damn,  they get it." carried through all the ME2 DLC and into ME3 allllll the way to the end. As I said before, I NEVER expected this.

I kinda have to just sit back and chuckle at it all.

That's about what I figured. I've wondered how much community activity is due to the fans' dissatisfaction with the endings. They probably think it's all good for them. They think this "buzz" will keep their **** fresh. That we'll all still be clamouring for whatever garbage they vomit at us next because we're their ****, and we need our fix. 

Totally. <_<

I'll withhold any enthusiam for any expansion of the ME universe until I've researched who's involved with the project. I hold all the power right here in my wallet.

Pretty sure it's already known that Hudson will be directing the next game.

Yeah, that almost immediately killed any interest I might have had in it too.....

Cool. I wasn't aware of that yet. If and when this new content comes out I'll scrutinize the ****** out of it and judge whether or not to take my chances. 
All I'm saying is that Bioware has made me wary. That's significant in my mind, given their track record with me.

I could only find an interview with him from March, addressing the initial sh*tstorm, but I did like this bit;

Q: How closely do you keep track of the fan reaction when it comes to that kind of stuff?

A: Oh, we pay very close attention to it. It’s very important to us and we will always listen to feedback, interpret it and try and do the right thing by our fans.


Seriously deluded.

Yup, it's why he hasn't been on, spam and swearing one time too many apparently, which is strange since I'm fairly sure I tend to curse more often. He's on Hold the Line though.
