Because bad writing is a better explanation than IT.

"Never assume malice when incompetence is an adequate explanation."


Honestly, how do you expect me to disprove IT? It's like asking me to disprove the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It's impossible. All I can say is: It just isn't there. It doesn't exist. Period.

Another thing I can say is that the IT would have never existed if everyone actually liked the endings. If the endings were "good", or at least liked, the IT wouldn't even exist. And don't tell me that isn't true, because you know it is.

The IT never was anything more than just a fan conspiracy theory, created as a desperate attempt to find reason in the unreasonable parts of the Mass Effect 3 story. The sooner you accept that, the better.

well I can say that IT would have been better if it had been in the game and not left at a breath scene.

And if someone wants to believe in IT they can - but the central conflict will never be resolved in their interpretation. 

In the end we are left with the endings as they are. Nothing more...

and in both interpretations it sucks...

Personally, I felt IT was endgame when the EC came out.

Come to think of it, a lot of things became endgame when the EC came out.

I understand OP, and i also undestand that most of the people who liked the ending (and even people who didn't) are tired of the ending related posts and everything that comes with those.
Were those douchebag posts like "we won't miss you" or  "nobody cares" really necessary?
It really pisses me off when people go out of their way just to be ****s.(yes,that includes you Priestly)

To the OP: Sorry it didn't work out for you man, good luck

This thread is just... awful...

What is wrong with you people? Whining about whining and seeing off "haters" with nothing but hate yourselves.

To hell with you. The OP's post wasn't directed at "pro enders" and your inability to tolerate opposing opinions is disturbing to say the least. Finally it's over and Shepard can truly rest with the conclusion of this DLC.

Bioware, I am sad that Mass Effect didn't resonate with a large portion of fans the way you intended.

Um...VG Chartz is bad information to follow, because their numbers are completely fudged in terms of accuracy.

Basically, you can't trust them. 

Alright then. I'll give other sources.

Mass Effect 3 sells 1.5 million units in month one:

http://www.mcvuk.com...its-sold/094209

Mass Effect 2 sells 2 million units in one week:

http://www.1up.com/n...ct-2-week-sales

And come on, even this forum thought ME2's numbers were bad.

http://social.biowar...index/2583138/1

Looking at weekly sales is deceptive.   You should look at quarterly sales.   However, there is no quarterly sales report for how many copies of ME2 sold for 2010.  This is probably because ME2 didn't sell that well for the quarter -- atleast not well enough to report.   Forchunately, the EA quarterly sales reported that ME3 made around 200 million dollars for 2012, which is around 3.3 mil copies. 

I would assume from this that ME3 did actually sell better than ME2.

I’ve been reading some of the comments here, and to be honest I’m really sickened to see another fan, someone who clearly cares enough for the series (or did) write up their last thoughts on the game in a decent manor, only to receive so much hate and bitterness in return. The OP may be wrong on some things, you or I may not agree with everything they say, but that doesn’t automatically make them “spoiled”, “whiner”, “hater”, etc.

Last time I checked, a loyal fan leaving isn’t something to encourage. It means less contributions/ideas for further games and one less customer for Bioware. Yet no one has an issue pushing them away further with their flaming, label-tossing, and outright insults. It’s as if just mentioning one negative thing about the game or Bioware now is suddenly qualified for pages of this BS (ya know, the type of crap no one supposedly likes and everyone complains about). Which even the community manager apparently takes part in. Interesting how the “Thank You” threads never seem to generate this much heat.

At the end of the day, we're all fans of the same games, sharing the same interests. Attacking each other just because someone else feels differently than you do is beneath you.

This.

Quite serious. Enemies don't get a say over my actions, whether it's by hating those actions or by liking those actions.

We should care, because as long as we continue to believe that the Reapers are the typical evil genocidal machines, we will never understand why BioWare chose to keep the main three endings. The endings represent the controlling nature of the Reapers, something we should not embrace. The Catalyst said that the reason why it couldn't manifest a solution similar to Synthesis is because he never gave the organics and synthetics a choice, he tried to force them to make the solution happen and they refused, they knew there is a catch. So the Catalyst came up with the idea of making two more solutions, Destroy and Control, based on the solutions organics would generally choose when dealing with hostile synthetics. An organic that intends on using the Crucible faces the Catalyst's illusion of choice, allowing the organic to think about its actions other than immediately rejecting the choice when being forced to choose it.

When you think about it, The Catalyst ran into the same problem as The Architect from The Matrix movie.

I'll bite. So why are the Reapers trying to break the Crucible? All the Reapers can accomplish in the final battle is to make their own preferred solution impossible. Unless you're arguing that the EMS system isn't actually doing what it does, in fact, do.

The reason we should use the Crucible is that it is exactly what it seems to be. And anti-Reaper weapon, and the only thing in the galaxy that the Reapers actually fear.

So you're happy to give the galaxy to the Reapers, making everything you did as Shepard pointless.

You do understand that those are the same goals that led to the creation of the cycle that I have yet to see a single non-indoctrinated being feels works, and that includes every other AI we meet in the game too. Even other synthetics have expressed repulsion at the reapers existence.

But your right why should goals that led to billion years of killing and trillions of pointless deaths be of any factor whatsoever?

Mass Effect as a series never made over $12 million as far I know, numbers wise. So it really doesn't matter how much money it makes, since it would likely never recoup the full budget. 

Huh?

"Despite (or perhaps in part thanks to) the controversy surrounding BioWare's latest game, Electronic Arts is sitting pretty with $200 million in sales."

Read more at http://www.destructo...5UUqowbWIqYj.99 

These numbers come from the time before the ending was known to most buyers, naturally.

I hated the ending just as much as, or more than, the next guy.

But the funny thing about this particular OP is that most of his reasons are more befitting a child than somebody capable of properly critiquing the ending on a literary basis.


The ending happened. It was awful, like the final bite of a chocolate cake having a goddamn roach in it. Ruined the memory of the otherwise amazing cake. But, since that memory's never going to go away, the chef (Bioware) made us a whole different desert, something that would appeal to people who didn't like the ending-- and those who did, or just didn't care enough to warrant a whole new playthrough. To expect them to allocate the resources needed to fix the core problems with the ending just for us is immature at best, horribly self-centered and spoiled at its worst.

I still hate the ending. A lot. But it's been a year. Let it go. It's not going to change. Remember Mass Effect, Shepard and everything else for what you loved about it, rather than fixating on that one royal screw up.

Seriously. Let's all grow the **** up.

BioWare are still serving that cake though. 

And the ending is so fundamentally divorced from the story that it could be easily removed with very few resources. Wouldn't have to touch anything at all up to the appearance of the Space Ghost.
