That's me. 

I had been a huge fan of ME series ever since ME1 came out until I played the Extended Cut of ME3. The game was sensational in so many levels and its narative quality was a culmination of years of Bioware's RPG development experience.

However, when I played EC and saw the infamous Normandy landing scene where Harbinger completely ignores it, I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. While I understand the DLC is free gift to fans from devs, they could have easily made the sceen to make sense only by making Normandy appear after Harbinger has left  and evacuate survivors from a distance to the beam.

During the beam run, Shepard could have exchanged a last good bye and left his squadmates to evacuate to a safe place where Normandy picks them up afterwards. Why did they have to insert Normandy in a cut-scene it does not belong to and make everything so absurd?

To me it seems as if writers and devs don't even care about ME universe and its plot integrity, as long as they can appease fans asking for a chance to say good bye to their LI. If they had given it a second of thought they would know how idiotic it is for Normandy to make a pick up at that moment, yet they went with it without a secnod thought.

Why should fans care and love ME universe when its very creators don't hesitate to defile its plot intergrity and a sense of realism? I'm not even discussing whether the scene was relevant or not because it's so freaking obvious the whole thing was a plot hole mess.

My interest only shortly came back with the launch of Omega DLC, in which writers have gone even lower and made Aria a wimp whose personlity changes depending on couple choices you make during dialogues. How very mature design of storytelling.

I don't know about you, but I really can't bring myself to love ME lore since none of them seem believable after EC mess and overly childish Omega DLC <_<

I agree completely, especially after IT thread was killed...

[movieguyabw]

Not really, but it is waning. The modding community is really the only thing keeping my enthusiasm for the series alive.

[Rotacioskapa]

I'll wait and see if they fix the ending fiasco in the next ME game (they can easily fix it if they really want to). If not then i'm done with ME universe.

At this moment in time: I'm starting to not give a toss

I know this may sound a little snarky, but I really don't mean it to. I mean this as an actual legitimate question:

Then why are you here?

"I don't like ME anymore" (for whatever reason. Didn't like the ending, didn't like the DLC, didn't like ME3 core game, MP, etc). Why are you still here?

I have, over the course of a long life, fallen in and out of love with games, authors, films, etc. When I am done with them, I am done with them. I don't linger, hang around, etc and tell people about how I am "done" with whatever it is. Sure, maybe later on, I come back to it and reread/replay/rewatch, etc and maybe get involved again, but if I am done with something, I leave it.

So if you have "lost interest" (or similar) why are you still here?

[CoolioThane]

Have friends here and have a "privilege" to post.

[dorktainian]

**edit** more to the point shouldn't that be 'we value your custom' and 'we are listening to your concerns'? I mean i know a negative opinion is - negative, but an opinion is an opinion and right or wrong he has the right to make it doesnt he? surely that includes trying to understand why he says what he says because at the end of the day he payed for a product and feels disgruntled.

I just don't get questioning why someone comes here.


because they give a damn.  thats why.

Well for me its the charcters. You guys did an excellent job  creating these characters and for the past 5 years I've grown very attached and for them to be sent off in such a way kinda made me upset to say the least. Yes, I'm aware its almost been a year since.  Every now and then I've considered seeing somone because I too find it it odd to be torn up about this for so long.

[demersel]

After all it is a SOCIAL network. You don't abandon friendships with people that you grow to care about simple because you don't like something you used to like together.

[Obadiah]

OP, to tell you the truth, each time I play through ME3 I find something new to like, usually from different team banter, plot fork from the previous games, or just a way of playing combat.

[CoolioThane]

Also, there was something keeping me interested in the game but that seems to have been killed off.

[RocketManSR2]

For 5 months I did leave. I heard about a "big" DLC on the way and came back. While here I got into some discussions with our resident ninja volus and have now calmed down some. Thinking about certain things that were done/not done still stings, but I bought the trilogy again and look forward to romancing Tali (always wanted to, never did).

- Also, after 5 months of not playing I really started to miss ME, dammit! Should I seek help?

It doesn't sound snarky at all, and I think I understand where you are coming from.

You are a moderator of this community, right? You must have heard hundreds of people saying the exact same thing as what I've just said, and it seems to me you are rather tired of such complaints.

However, I'm only one person out of those hundreds of people. It's not like I hold an obsession of constantly coming back and posting "I'm so done with ME" every few days. Fans are each an indivisual with different ideas and attitudes, and it's not right to treat them as one entity.

I think as a former fan I'm entitled to express my disapointments with products that I paid for, and share that feeling with other fans who might hold similar concerns of mine. It's one way of appealing to developers of the series to make products worthy of our praise as they used to.

Once a fan is not always a fan. The vice versa can be true as I might love future Bioware games. Is it so wrong to express my honest complaints in hopes of rectifying some obvious mistakes in plots?

And to deblaterate a bit, the EC's particular scene I mentioned is not really defendable by any means. It's not like I 'm making illegitimate complaints, considering the obvious plotholes present in that scene. I would just look at it as a thread pointing out a plothole in addition to my personal feelings towards such poor story quality Bioware seems to be making these days.

Clearly there is an attachment there that he isnt really willing to admit to or he is trolling.  Eitehr way, why does it matter?  If he has something interesting to respond to, it will be responded to, if it is a fairly worthless statement/post about the game with no real quality content in the post it either will get hyjacked into a more detailed discussion or it will get ignored and go to the back of teh pages in a few.

Why are these type of topics(the incredibly vague "I hates") get attention, and then people complain about how bad it is here...  Game forums always attract people who have problems with that game(just check gamefaqs out to prove that)  people want to vent/troll/complain/ect when they dont like something.  The only way these types of posts become "problems" is when they get more attention then well thought out posts.

oh and chris...don't take this the wrong way. I mean it might seem like it is but it really isnt.

this forum is story discussion and spoilers yes? when is indoctrination (which is prevelent throughout the mass effect trilogy) discussion not story related?

[Steelcan]

@Chris Priestly.

Because we want to like what comes out, but we just don't.

I for one haven't completely lost interest, I'm curious to see what the end of the DLC cycle brings, after that though I'm basically gone. Any chance of some news on that last DLC any time soon?

Because screw you, that's why.
(Joking)

Seriously though, that whole thread was such a big aspect of so much of what's discussed here, it seems frankly bizarre to close it down like that.
Actually I quite like it being stickied though.

I liked this image too when I saw it on the CE Box Art.

Too bad it ends up having nothing to do with the game at all.

I haven't lost interest in ME, just faith in the writers.

Especially the "artists" themselves.

Isnt it obvious?
Because he wants to get attached to it again. He still struggles. Its his (even) one more chance stance.
Slight chance that bioware creates something of such a scale that will pull him back on track.

Yes and no. I'm still up for talking about the universe, gameplay wise I have no interest however so no ME4 or DLC for me.
