If the rage continues after the DLC, it honestly wouldn't surprise to see this forum shut down by the end of the year.

It's not as ragey as it was a few months ago, but if the next DLC fails to appeal to the ragers, then they will continue to rage. And then I see BioWare closing this forum.

If they nuke this forum, what's next? The multiplayer one?

Well, first there will be rage. Then some people will leave, and some will quiet down, but overall things will definitely slow down.

But you gotta remember, there are things to talk about other than the endings and what is wrong with ME3. Its just that many are more interested in hating on the game and BW than talking about more interesting things. Maybe that too will change after this DLC releases.

It's normal for people to focus on whats wrong or that which needs fixing, people rarely got the time to comment on the good parts unless explicitly asked.
That's normal, there is no need to work on or fix that which isn´t broken. If my dishwasher is broken then im likely to spend more time trying to fix it or complain about it or send it in for service rather than talking about how much I love my kitchen table group that sucessfully performs it function.

There is a lot of good in ME3 and that's why people bother complaining about that which isn´t good. If they had hated all of it then they wouldn't have bothered. Least not beyond posting an angry comment once and then dissapearing.

Moved and seconded.  In the interim: Dragon Age replays, excitement for DA3:I, and (hopefully) a sweet ME3-style co-op multiplayer.

What do we do?

We remember.

We remember how we weren't listened to the enxt time they start to market a game.

When Dragon Age 3 comes out, we rmember the promises of Mass Effect 3, and how that worked out.

Whenthe next Mass Effect game comes out, we remember what happened to our choices and our Shepards.

When the next IP comes out, we remember how Mass Effect started, and how it ended.

I intend to bookmark some ME3 reviews on youtube, and when the next Bioware game comes around, ask "Why should I trust you again"

So cling to the past, ignore all new data, and continue to **** and moan.

Eyuup. Sounds about right.

Who wants popcorn? Or maybe some cola?(pepsi or coke)

Trusting Bioware and ignoring data is what got me to purchase ME3 in the first palce.

Won't be fooled again.  Now I'll need convincing.

You ignore the content that will be in the new games and just cite what was in their other games as a critique of why the games are bad, all without playing or youtubing the new games to avoid even the possibility of disappointment. That's the impression I got from your post.

I hope the haters disappear. *sigh*

This.

Hey, I'm all for honest and fair critique. I think the endings are complete garbage, but I think people need to be able to express their feelings in a manner that isn't just "I HATE BIOWARE CASEY AND MAC ARE THE DEVIL RABIES RABIES RABIES!"

As Gaider said, the atmosphere is too toxic. It's not that people are telling them they're unhappy, it's how they're doing it. I really hope that changes, but it's going on a year and it doesn't seem to be lessening, so... ugh.

Yeah, it makes my head spin. I can only imagine how the developers and community managers feel when they visit this board. I can guess...

[GimmeDaGun]

Most probably I will put my BSN account into a nice long stasis, until the first snippets of news leak about the new ME game, since there will be nothing much to talk about here. I'm happy with ME3, I like the story, its conclusion, I got my money's worth out of it... so happy days for me. I had nice long discussions here, debates and even some arguments, but I don't know what's left there which wasn't discussed to death about ME.


...and live my life as I do on an everday basis. 

To me Bioware is just another company I came across one and a half years ago when I bought the first two ME games after I stumbled upon the franchise thanks to my favourite rpg: The Witcher series, so I don't feel beeing betrayed, annoyed, hurt or anything. I'm greatful to them for the ride and for these awesome games, and products of entertainment. It was and still is a pleasure, but that's it. Never played any other Bio games ever before and I don't know for sure if I will... in a couple of years I may stop playing games, who knows.

I don't feel such an emotional attachment to these games. I love them as games and epic stories with great characters (they definitely made it to my top5 favourit games), but their not that a significant part of my life and neither I played them a million times, nor I plan to.

I'll probably buy this DLC, but I don't have very high expectations for it. I am mostly still here because of my friends/the groups anyway (ok, I am also looking forward to Dragon Age 3, but there isn't much to talk about yet)...and not because of all these new and exciting "ending", "quarians vs geth" or "autodialogue/Shepard is OOC" threads

i came to ME2 in 2011 and not that many people were posting in the strategy forum but there was a hardcore group that kept it alive and i'm thankful because i learned a lot from them.
so, same thing here possibly.

Same here. I will stick around to help any new people the best I can with ME1, ME2, and ME3 single player.

Ill tell you exactly the next couple of years of bioware.

-DLC is out,  totally average mission, most people are mad. IT denial train still figure how to grasp at super straws. Most likelly shepard will have a line during the DLC saying: THIS IS IT! Which iter will believe is a nod from bioware saying: This is Indoctrination theory.

-The forum will die down until announcement for ME4 with a trailer.

-ME4 forums will open in anticipations.

-ME4 will be shown as a game with no connection to mass effect triology aside from the universe (think zelda).

-ITer will still believed ME4 holds the key until its actually released.

-2014 ME4 is released, the story is average with no connection to mass effect triology, the big site will rate it 9.5 and more saying its the best mass effect ever made yet.

-ITer will now hold their hopes into ME5, saying that ME4 was only a chapter as a pause in betwen shepard story.

-2016, ME5 will be announced and released with no connection to any other mass effect game (think legend of zelda)

-2020, ITer will now hold ME6 as the logical mass effect triology conclusion.

-2022, ITer will now hold ME7 reloaded as the logical mass effect triology conclusion.

-2026, ITer will now hold ME8 as the logical mass effect triology conclusion

-2029, ITer will now hold ME9 as the logical mass effect triology conclusion

-2030 during the production of ME9, after decades of terrible mass effect, dragon age production and SWTOR which did not made a single profite for 20 years, EA will be looking to sell the studios and their franchises. Newly reformed THQ will buy bioware and fire its entire writing staff.

-2040 Uwe Boll zombie will release the first mass effect movie under contract with THQ, The production will cost 1 billion to make ( its 2040 after all) but will only net 30 million worldwide. Big gaming site will praise the movie as the most amazing movie ever made, claiming that the reason it didnt sell well is because most movie goes did not understand the deepness and complexity of the trailer enough to be excited. THQ will be ruined again, Uwe Boll zombie will be sent back into his grave after the lazarus project failure that revived him.

with confidence: it will become like the DA2 board basically empty after 4 months after the last dlc comes out. then shortly before ME4 is released the forums will light up until they make an ME4 thread

Then you read far more into it than was actually there.

I treat the claims of the new content with a heavy degree of skepticism.  I do not preorder, I do not buy new, I do not assume the name "Bioware" is synonymous with "quality"  like I used to.   I remind Bioware why I will not do these things.  I will remember how badly I got burned and demand assurances that this will not happen again.  Sadly, this likely means I will have to be spoiled on the storyline before I even think of buying.

And like I said, I ask "Why should I trust you again?"

Talk about ME4 and DA3.

Casually chat about other things.

[CptBomBom00]

Die out maybe.

[Neizd]

If BW decides to create this little something for dissapointed half of their fanbase then everyone will await ME4

If no, then there will be a lot of empty accounts here, afterall ME was supposed to be trillogy not another money making machine.

[dreamgazer]

Weed through the extremists on both sides, screw around, talk about things, and see if ME4 will be worth playing.

[RukiaKuchki]

I think after the DLC, people will still come here to complain about something. And they'll come here again and again and again... People like to complain, it's cathartic. Some have made friends here through their shared complaints of ME3 and they enjoy complaining en masse, they know they are not alone and therefore crazy for feeling the way they do. And to be honest, I think some people have been complaining so long now that they don't actually know how not to complain any more, it's just become the normal behavior so they come here for a quick fix of negativity to set them up for the day!

I am optimistic about the upcoming DLC, I hope that it's got a strong narrative and it's a bit lighter on the shooter action that Omega. I think they know what 'some' of the fanbase wants (can't win 'em all over), and I am sure they'll try their hardest to make this one count... possibly as it's the last one for ME3.

What would someone else's opinion prove or disprove about placing value in Bioware? At the end of the day, you'd only be pointing at someone else's opinion, and you'd still be doing a biased sampling basis to self-justify it.

If you wanted, you could just as well bookmark some positive reviews of ME3, or even other Bioware games. It would be just as objective and unbiased.

[Sailfindragon]

Play many other games and drop by every so often to see if anything new is happening.

It is pretty much impossible to predict the future with complete accuracy - but I think you have come as close as is physically possible. No small feat. Congrats

And now that you mention Uwe Boll, I'm pretty sure I saw a tweet saying he was acting as a story consultant for Bioware during the ME3 development. Yep. Definately saw that. Not a lie at all.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, I give you........The Uwe Boll Theory!

[Dean_the_Young]

Talk about ME4.

Discuss various points of interest of ME3.

Possibly write some topics on mechanics of ME3 I think deserve to be considered and carried over to ME4.

Mercilessly mock the Puzzle Theory advocates who expect a Conventional Ending reversal.

Prepare to be vindicated in my expectation of the direction IT theory will go after the last DLC, such as how IT theory will now predict that ME4 will 'really finish Shepard's fight.'
