Are you trying to find reasons for him to hate the game? If he likes it, so what, let him have his fun.

Btw I watched this guy from my country do lets play on it, a smart all around ordinary guy. He didnt have EC or leviathan or anything extra. And he got what Bioware was trying with the endings. He totally got it and liked the idea of the whole reaper paradox and "one more hard choice" kind of endings.

How old is your brother? I think older people would react more positively to the ending than younger people would.

This poll shows age has nothing to do with it.

Most people didn't like it regardless of age. Just goes to show you that it wasn't just teenage angst or old person curmudgeonry that caused the uproar, the ending genuinely sucked, big-time.

That ending to that last Cowboys game could have used an Extended Cut if you know what I mean.

Nah.  My 59-year-old mother thought they were absolute crap.

I love extended cut endings, the original endings aren't that great.

It needs a lot of retcons and some of the characters need to be cut out.

Yeah, age really doesn't factor into this. I've chatted with one younger guy who enjoyed the control that the decision gave them in resolving a conflict without violence, in a period where his life had lost a lot of control due to an illness in the family, and I've also chatted with a late-40s lady who played the games with her son and came up with a rough version of the indoctrination theory: "it's all a figment of the imagination and the hero's being manipulated".

Most of the "normal" players I've discussed it with take issue with the logistics and clarity of the ending though, even if they liked the rough philosophy.

I think the Executive Producer needs to resign, and the lead writer needs to hit the bricks.

Trying to find a BioWare equivalent for Romo, but I can't think of anything.

And absolutely loved the endings. How many times I told him I didn't like it because it didn't make any sense, it was forced and contried, it defeated the purpose of many plotpoints of others ME, he kept describing how he loved every scenes of it.

I'm glad for him, and the fact that he played EC Omega AND Leviathan before finishing the game may have had its impact, but still, I feel a bit sorry for myself and my game experience. I rarely immersed myself like in Mass Effect series, and I felt betrayed at the ending, like many here at BSN.

Am I alone having a friend/relative absolutely loving the game and unable to express themselves without feeling stupid?


I thought they were most excellent. My brother doesn't play the Mass Effect series. However, like me, he only sticks to one game or so.

Could have something to do with age, or maybe it depends on the person. My brother and I are both 29.

Everyone I know has various opinions on it, so generally none of us talk about it.

Playing ME3 for the first time with the DLC and EC endings would be a very different experience than playing through for the first time with no DLC and the original endings. If they had released the game as such in the original release, the backlash towards the endings would almost be nonexistent. Not that there wouldn't be complaints, but not nearly as aggressive. I still remember that dead, hollow feeling when playing the final 30-40 minutes of ME3 a couple days after release...****tiest feeling while gaming I've ever had and I've been playing games my whole life. (I'm 27).

I played through it the first time, without the EC, and loved it. I played through, probably the third time, with the EC, and absolutely loved it.

Hes 26 and I'm 24. So age does not factor as stated in the thread.

That was pretty much my first suspicion when I read that he liked it.

People
are not going to like me saying this, but IMO, many discontented fans
made up their minds since March... after completing the game, and then
after hearing EC would not (completely) change the endings. Put the
Leviathan mission and EC in main game, and I think the catalyst is not
even half as reviled as he is now. At worst, he's a Cerberus/TIM-caliber
annoyance.

People can deny that all they want and insist it
would make no difference. Don't care. I'll take an example from a fresh
set of eyes looking at the game, not a pair firmly covered by "The
Ending Sucks" specs.


I for one wouldn't have changed my mind about the game if EC and Levi was in the main game, but i gotta agree that most people would have liked it far more.

My main gripe with the game begun at the begining of the game (no charges against shep) and the lack of considerations for ME2 suicide mission casualties, the mini-reapers of 400metters, the ME2and 3 harbinger building up to nothing, well, you get the idea.

I'm trying to figure out how the work Da Bears into this analogy.

Congrats? You met one of the few who liked the endings.

I still haven't met or talked to anyone in person yet who felt that way, but I have seen plenty on these boards.

I thought it was the other way around Pantanplan.

What ending did he choose OP?


I don't think it matters. Any reasonably intelligent mammal could recognize the endings are horrible.

Maybe it makes some sense with EC, Omega and Leviathan combined.
As oposed to a game with neither.

While you're correct, everyone should share my opinion. On everything.
