lolInteract. TOR has more interaction that any ME game.

An MMO has more interaction than a single player RPG? I bet you'll probably tell me that you play them with other people, too.

Even though the last ten minutes were dissapointing, the trilogy as a whole was very satisfying to me. In my opinion probobly one of the best scifi epics ever created. BioWare gave us something special and it really pains me to hear everyone just complain about everything. Yes the ending was kinda bad and lacked explanation or closure. The masses cried out and bioware accualy went and spent time and some money to expand on these endings. How many developers have accualy done that? It really makes me love bioware even more. Yes the ending was still not great even then, but at least they tried. But i guess some people are just plain addicted to complaining. Remember when the original star wars trilogy ended with a blatant deus ex machina? Remember how that was hailed as a scifi masterpiece? I believe mass effect will go down in history but sadly not for the reason it should. Everyone just bashed it out of the gate and forgot all the time and characters they spent all that time getting to know and love. It was a wonderful journey that for me was not spoiled at all by the ending because all the great stuff outweighed the bad. Its just sad when the majority can just give up because of a blunder. And yes there have been many to write and create there own endings. Some of them are very good to:). But just remember that this is not call of duty at least. Anyone can agree that this trilogy is far superior to that tripe.

Well, but keep in mind that the only reason people were upset as they were about the ending is because they cared so much about the trilogy as a whole. If nobody liked the trilogy, they wouldn't give a rip about the ending. That said, I think the complaining about the ending is a little overdone; yes, it could and SHOULD have been done better, especially at making you feel like your choices mattered (sort of the theme of the whole game, which just went out the window at the end)- but it wasn't that bad. I actually sort of like the ending; the whole sequence with "an end, once and for all" is about as poignant as a video game gets. 

Also, I'm completely with you on the EC endings; I love that Bioware did that, even if they ended up being just sort of a drop in the bucket. Not many companies would do that, since the series was already successful and they didn't stand to gain a whole lot by spending time and money on free DLC ending-updates.

You're trying too hard. And really, I don't. But thanks for asking. Literally no depth comes from playing with others.

I'm tired of hearing this


The ending may overshadow ME3's other issues, but the journey was by no means great

And I am tired of people like you not giving them any credit at all

How do you know he's never given them credit?

Dat assumption

[Artifex_Imperius]

It was the journey.. Not the destination

focusing only on the destination leads to disappointment. haha like so many who post in the forums who after so many months are still angry. they'll never get it.

[Obadiah]

I liked the journey and the destination. The journey was enlightening; the destination was thought-provoking.

Pretty much. The shaking of my head comes not from the assumption itself but because I have a hard time thinking he's joking. Like, he might genuinely believe Steelcan and "people like him" hates everything BioWare.

tbh I buy BioWare games just so I can burn them

That's probably why we keep giving them money, because everntually, we think BioWare will just go away if we pay them off. 

[Steelcan]

after I burn the games I buy the books and comics and burn them

[Br3admax]

That'll show EAWare. I'm sending a statement.

[Teddie Sage]

To me the journey mattered so much that I stayed until the very end... And when I saw the endings, I never went back, because it ruined my whole Mass Effect experience.

Would pay Bioware to not make a sequel.

I love the journey and the games. If I didn't, I wouldn't have invested hundreds of hours playing all three games, sometimes multiple times and various classes.

I loved Mass Effect but we need to look to the one positive that came out of this ME3... The outrage changed the face of game development. Companies are now aware that Gamers (Their Customers) will boycott and will shout loud and will do things when they feel robbed.

Call it out crazy or stupid or pointless or irresponsible, but if it didn't happen people might of been okay with what Microsoft was going to give us originally with the xbox one. Some of the games that we enjoy today since ME3 have probably been changed by the developer before release based on fan outrage.

Gamers took a stand as consumers, something that hasn't been done before and the mass effect 3 ending and possibly the game was the last straw.

Also more on topic, I'm a screenwriter and the Journey is important but where your hero ends up is also important. One means nothing without the other. 12 steps of the Heroes Journey.

And they're also aware of the easiest way to silence that shouting by stalling, using PR gimmicks and subtly collapsing the united fan front and turning them on each other by promising what appears to be a solution, but in essence changes nothing. Oh and they get free rep as "listening to fans" to boot.

We are aware that their answer to all our criticisms of the ending was a glorified slideshow and a few lines of dialogue right? Kudos to all the artists, programmers and voice actors who made it happen, but for all the problems the ending has, it's nowhere near enough.

The journey sucked. The last ten minutes weren't that bad.

The journey made the game great, the destination sucked. I don't get how you can turn those two around.
So you played 3 games that you didn't like to get amazed at the last 10 minutes?

It is about the journey mostly, but if the destination sucks, why journey there?
