Sick and tired of these threads.

It's been 8 months, Bioware knows you hated the endings - we don't need anymore of these pointless threads popping up.

Imo, the Extended Cut was pretty good and fixed things up for me. Like Corporal Doody said, you're all just being petty and awkward now. Go **** somewhere else.


  It's not going to happen.  There are a lot of unsatisfied people out there.  They aren't just going to go away.

Lol. 

Ya know.. I still don't fully understand it. Yeah the original endings were bad, but I really, really don't get how that could somehow "ruin" the rest of the game/the previous games. 

You can't understand how an investment's outcome can ruin it? :blink:

Because people can't make mistakes right? 


They can, but it's worse when they take a holier than thou attitute and basically call their audience morons for not being able to understand it. If they came out and admitted they fcuked up fine, but instead they blame everyone else for not getting it. No sympathy from me, I'm afraid. <_<

I wonder how long it will last. I wonder if say.. 2 years pass. Would people still be bothered this much about the endings?

It would be interesting to see.

Thats why the developers took the time to create the Extended Cut, and tried to alleviate peoples concerns? 

Also it seems like you're blaming all of Bioware for what happened. They aren't a hive mind ya know?

I'm so over the endings now. They were terrible but the EC fixed the worst of it, IMO. Is it ideal? No, but I still play all three ME games and I am looking forward for the fourth installment.

They're unsatisfied but they've moved on from complaining to people who already know about it. Nobody here cares if you didn't like the ending, because they already know. This thread could be considered spam. I've only seen a couple of "Ending Complaint Threads" in the past couple of months. People are starting to realise that there's nothing they can do now.

Get your head out of the past and move on, bro.

Only because of the fcuk load of backlash they recieved and they gave it in ill grace. Artistic integrity, anyone? They didn't do it purely out of the goodness of their hearts.

'They' are mainly Mac and Casey but everyone must take responsibility for a joint project.

OP I'm not trying to be rude, or put you down, but you need to try, and get over this.

Just stop thinking about it, play some other games. Hang out with some friends or whatever.

Fine. I honestly don't care if you're that pissed off at them. 

Just trying to understand. I still don't get it, but I suppose I don't need to.

It's mostly because you know the payoff is going to be terrible. Mass Effect 1 doesn't end at the end of the game, neither does Mass Effect 2. The books (4 doesn't count) don't count as stand alone books - they develop the universe of Mass Effect as a whole - giving you more insight to the series. To read and play something without being able to complete them, it's just pointless. I want to play Mass Effect 1 again and 2 and re-read the books then finish with 3 - but I can't do it. I know that the payoff in the end is not worth my time now. The ending of ME3 ruins every single build up to it only because it just doesn't fit. It doesn't fit, makes everything worthless, and isn't even Mass Effect - its more like the ending to a Halo game or some ****.


Its just an ending. And the extended cut endings make the payoff worth it. 

Relays get rebuilt, no ones stranded on an island, life in the galaxy goes on. You beat the reapers, you do what you originally set out to do. Sure its not super ideal, like you don't get to marry your LI, and there isn't a parade or anything. It just does what it has to. 

I can understand being upset for a few weeks or a month or two after you saw it. But eight months? 

Eight months?

So wait, did you play Mass Effect 1 from the beginning of the series BEFORE the other games back when it first came out? Have you been following with the over all theme of the games/series? If you say yes - you're trolling or you're a ****ing idiot. If you say no - then you have no opinon worth a **** here. The ending was garbage and full of plot holes. The extended cut was a slap in the face and a big middle finger from EAware saying ""DON'T LIKE OUR COLOR CODED ENDINGS? **** YOU!""

Dude, calm down. The endings were a huge let down, but they're not worth getting that mad on the internet over.

NEEO? I Googled it, but it turns out that Neeo is a Czech porn-star, which probably isn't what you were referring to.

Buddy - if you don't like hearing the true fans, the intelligent human beings who feel cheated and ****ed out of 5 years of their lives complain about something thats logical to complain about - then just don't read / respond. You obviously weren't here from the start of things, you probably didn't actually "get into the series" - so just stop. There is a reason that many people are complaining and will not stop complaining. Its because we feel "cheated". Anytime you invest your time and money into something that brings you joy - then to be led on by said object/thing and having your expectations raised through the roof - only to be **** on in the end, its bad. It's like if someone bought a new Mario game except the finale had guns in it - that's bad game design and it would make a lot of people go "What the ****?" especially if the developers said ""thats the last time you'll see Mario - he got gunned down by gang bangers, thats the end - goodbye!"". THEN imagine they released a new ending to this Mario game and it features Luigi shooting Mario down after Mario gets a 1up or something - it would just feel like a **** stain on your soul.

Now I know you probably don't know what Mario is - so I'll relate it to something you might understand. It's like farting and expecting a train of turds to plop out of your ass. You spend an hour on the toilet, reading and writing, until you feel the last gas pocket erupt in your intestines. Without warning BOOM its just an explosive release of gas - no turds. - That's something I'm sure you can understand with your mind.

I'm angry that you new dumb ass gamers are ruining gaming as a whole for everyone else. You didn't play the series from the start, you didn't invest time into it, you shouldn't be acting like a princess with your **** in the air thinking people aren't entitled to be a little angry.

Does this consume my life? Not at all - I don't really even think about gaming all that much. But the fact remains - it ruined a portion of my teenage years, and people like you give the developers less of a reason to listen to people who are genuinely trying to get points across. So go back to playing your Call of Duty **** - leave the angry fans alone.

Just.. Where does this arrogance come from? Over a video game? Oh man. I honestly felt sorry for you before, but now.. Lol.

You really need to take a break.

Have a good night. I mean that.

I haven't seen any fan reaction of this size that petered out neatly and tidily within a few months.

And no, the point hasn't been satisfactorily "made." BioWare still ignores most of the arguments, and there are still tons of fans on here defending the endings. That's kind of all you need for the complaints to continue: opposition. Ensures the fire is regularly fed, stirred, and stoked. Ignoring that the latter means both the former, anyway.

A single person's anger at the endings might die out in a few months... if they stayed away from the BSN and put themselves on Mass Effect quarantine. Stick around here, however, and, well... fire. Fed. Regularly.
