nope. Just sad and curious,

[Iakus]

Yes, Bioware thoroughly broke their base.

Personally, I don't know how I'm going to trust them again

Love ME 3 but unfortunately the official forums are almost impossible to enjoy because of the community, I spend most of my time glancing at the forum for the new DA game. Unfortunately I have not been able to play ME 3 in about 3 months (and not by choice) GF loaned out my copy of the ME trilogy to somebody about a month in a half ago and I am still waiting to get it back.

[Raizo]

Yes.

[Eterna]

Nope. Peoples choice awards and all that jazz. It's really just the BSN.

[crimzontearz]

I can only speak for myself but...yeah. The handling of it was atrocious and their stubborn minimalist approach to the EC was kind of idiotic

Also the troll attempt at Comicon should have had repercussions

[GHOST OF FRUITY]

Hurt? No. I was initially dissapointed in the original ending and a few other aspects of ME3, quickly accepted those faults and didn't worry about them much. No game is perfect and never will be. Bioware made the game they did, and although i'd hoped they'd do certain things differently, it was their game to create the way they thought best. ME1 and 2 had things in them that bugged me too, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment - same deal with ME3.

I like the game and I'm waiting for ME4. That doesn't change the fact that people are scared that Bioware screws up again. Still waiting for my beach house dlc. Just saying.

Right. So you're saying it's just the core fanbase that used to spread the good word about bioware's games and defend them from the stupid media propaganda machine are the ones that are angry with ME3.

Guess it's not that big of a deal then.

[nos_astra]

Fascinated and slightly amused.

[Endgame22]

Well i was always very confused with the endings took me a while but i love it now, it's helped me out a lot this series emotionally, and in general and well also personally not happy with a lot of things with the game of course but they have been slowly redeeming themselves so it's interesting to see what the new dlc and the future holds for the series and hopefully better graphics ahem frost bite 3 lol.

Yes actually. 

Funny how some majoritys decide to remain silent and accept being represented by the same 4-5 individuals.

That goes both ways.

After the endings I was shocked, disappointed and even angry at the thought of all the time and money I invested into the ME games. The trust I had with BW is gone and the only good thing that came out of this is I stopped doing pre-orders altogether. Because of this, I avoided Aliens: Colonial Marines until I heard from actual fan feedback. Saved $70.00.

I will go down with this ship, if it comes to it. The Mass Effect games are the only video games I play with any frequency.

The original endings were vague, if not confusing. The EC solved any problems I had, so that's all water under the bridge. 

I'll purchase the next DLC regardless of whatever reviews I read, and look forward to the next installment in this ground-breaking series.

Bummed about Bioware's recent failures/future? Yeah.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Not a silent majority, more a apathy majority.

They just don't care about mass effect. They liked the three games, didn't make it a corner stone of their lives like the dissapointed people, and thought the games were meh.

That's my experince at least, a lot of the people I meet who play the game thought it was good, and the ending of me3 is meh to alright.

[FanglyFish]

For me, Mass Effect 3 is merely another addition to a long list of great games with weak endings. System Shock 2, Far Cry, Psychonauts, Borderlands, and vanilla Fallout 3 (to name a few) all disappointed either during or following the last level, but in each of these cases the crappy final 30 minutes was overwhelmed by the hours upon hours of awesomeness that preceded it. Mass Effect 3 is no exception.

I avoid this place most of the time, but somehow you elicited a response from me. I think that makes it, hmm, twice now that I've broken my usual rule about ignoring the main ME3 forums in recent days.

I wasn't one of the people who had massively huge and earth-shattering expectations for the endings, so I never had a problem with them even though I agreed with certain criticisms about some of the plot holes. I thought that conceptually the ideas were interesting but agreed that the execution was lacking. Heck, I even formerly supported the people who wanted additional endings.

I was never "hurt" by the endings, and my opinion is that anyone who actually felt hurt or suffered emotional distress over the game and/or its ending(s) has blown things way, way out of proportion. I believe I once saw a suicide threat over it (which was quickly removed from the forums iiirc). A lot of times I saw an awful lot of melodramatic posts that amounted to: "OMG, the endings were so traumatic that I can NEVER play another game again FOR THE REST OF MY LIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!!!!"

There's being disappointed by an ending, and then there's seriously overreacting to it. At a certain point (let's say a couple of months later), it gets tiresome trying to be reasonable and having rational conversations with people that you consider to be completely unhinged. So I've mostly ignored the ME3 forums because all the emo/angry types seem incapable of talking about anything else but how miserable they are. Hey, maybe it's different now - who knows. I no longer care to converse with the majority of "fans" here anyway.

Like I've said before, I certainly get sad/upset when a character I like is killed off on a show or if something really horrible happens (as is often the case on The Walking Dead tv series) - but I get over it in a few days in private instead of screaming about how unhappy I am for a whole entire year. I also realize that any decisions the writers make are not done with the intention of hurting fans or to be deliberately cruel (and I've seen numerous moronic posts where fans seem to feel that everything the ME3 writers did was done on purpose to hurt them *rolleyes*).

If people here are still in whining mode, it's about time they get over it.

Hurt is kind of a strong word.

Disappointed and confused, yes. (...)

That about sums it up for me as well.

I wasn't around much before ME3 was released, so it's difficult to compare, but I think it's safe to say the community as a whole is still hurt by the ending controversy. There are still countless ending threads popping up regularly and forum members argue about plot holes and the quality of writing in this part or that. It's obvious that the BSN is still fragmented... which is a shame. It makes people lose perspective, arguing over silly matters that don't mean anything. It makes us forget we should all be on the same side here, celebrating our enthusiasm for the Mass Effect universe.

For me, personally, the worst people are those incapable of seeing the POVs of those they disagree with, instead posting the same arrogant messages time and time again (there's even an example in this very thread, go figure). It shows how unwilling some members here are to accept and tolerate other opinions and it's killing off discussions quite effectively. It would be neat with an ignore function, but alas, no such luck.
Another thing that would help would be more communication with the developers. There's been very limited discussion (perhaps even none at all?) about the endings and it exacerbates the issues they brought forth. Not that I blame anyone in particular - we have a fair few members around here who will post any kind of antagonistic nonsense just to vent their frustrations, so it's not exactly surprising. Still, there must be several ways the developers could set something up and engage in a mature dialogue - if they so desired. But no, we're left here bickering amongst ourselves, repeating the same topics over and over. There's some interesting debates now and then, but on the whole I find most topics on this board to be of mediocre worth.

I just hope ME4 will bring us back together, more or less - I doubt it, but I'm a foolish optimist in many regards
