I'm just hoping the backlash eventually gets her to back off of saying its canon. Its a small hope, but I need SOMETHING! I cant just accept this atrocity as canon.
What is so atrocious about it? I haven't read it or heard anything about it so am curious.

While I haven't watched it myself, I've gotten the impression that one of the points that many dislike is that Voldemort has a child with Bellatrix Lestrange which, given that he was pursuing immortality, would be kind of an odd thing especially, I think, given the way he was trying to attain immortality.
Also and this is only my interpretation of his character, I cannot see him as having much, if any, interest in the kind of thing that can lead to a child. Maybe in his younger years in Hogwarts but after that, I just don't think it seems like something he'd do.
Oh, it'll come. Rest assured. I have every faith in it.
We have to count on bloggers writing honest reviews to make people question the official review from newspapers and other mainstream media. Most journalists will praise the book and write a dishonest review, as usual.
Thank God we have internet and people are smart enough to seek a second opinion. Once bloggers write their opinion, the lies will show up.
Wait what about the new book (or play) was bad? It's okay to spoil it as I'm not really interested in it.
Yeah. That white hair is a total turn off. I mean the rest of him is sexy but that white hair is a deal breaker. Plus his chin is too manly. He's too tall. His shoulders too broad. His muscles to well formed. ..Uh. yeah.
I always felt that Geralt was a boring character. Until Witcher 3 where he really opened up. Oh wait we're off topic are we? XD

I can't believe Bellatrix cheated on Rodolphus, the tart.
Well, I could not find the post I was looking at yesterday but basically, yeah, I see the same attitude from some on tumblr that the bioware forums are accused of having. It tends to just be that the attitude is on the opposite.
Example: I saw a post that said that the only reason people were interested in Wrench from Watch Dogs 2 is because he's white.
For the record, here is what Wrench looks like; http://static9.cdn.u...EMEA_258707.jpg & http://static9.cdn.u...EMEA_258705.jpg
He's wearing emote goggles, is dressed like a human procupine and in my personal opinion, sounds like he's fun but yeah, sure, him being white is why people are interested in him.
Then there's the post, which I've also seen elsewhere, that basically says you are not allowed to like Wrench if you wanted a black protagonist in more games.

Theres also a ton of ridiculous nonsense with time-turners (which still exist because **** you) allowing the main characters to go back decades and create alternate realities, despite time-turners not working that way. Plus just generally **** characterization of older characters.
AngryFrozenWater...you should make that a TOP for every page! But it will need an OT title I think.
Might need a couple mods for the eyelashes and eyebrows, but this isn't the right thread, or section, for that.
Sorry. Can't do that. The OT-forum is closed for some reason.

In one brief sentence: Cursed Child has decharacterized the Harry Potter universe as we know it. The characters, the laws of magic, most of it were distorted and fit into a nonsensical plot.
Found this review, which summarizes the main problems with the book. I highly reccomend you read it: https://www.inverse....story-not-canon

Here is confirmation of what byne is saying: the plot involving the Time-Turners contradicts the very laws of magic Rowling herself created for how they function.
The image was taken from the very official online source for Harry Potter: Pottermore.
There was a guy called Joe on facebook (among the huge mob of fans literally lynching Bioware right now), who posted he is big fan of ME and then expressed his big disappointment for the BSN's closing and the impending deletion of thousand of very useful posts throughout the years (solving bugs, glitches, mods, blogs, etc)
and this is the reply Priestly was very quick to give him,
That reply must has been posted either immediately before or after Priestly came here to post his all sentimental adieu to BSN forum community. Does he suffer from split personalities?
The replies from Bioware have been much friendlier.........and so very useful,
"BioWare technical support will continue to be available through help.ea.com and answers.ea.com."
Do they know that those sites usually never have an answer or if they have one, is "We strongly recommend you to go to BSN to find a solution to your problem".
I'm "that Joe guy." Didn't realize at the time who Chris Priestly was. Even knowing that, wouldn't change anything, including my response, which was:
"Chris Priestly So... should Steam also close their forums to encourage users to look for "new opportunities", discourage them from dwelling on negatives and discourage them from criticizing without factual basis? How about Ubisoft, should they close their forums for the same reasons?"

Sssesh, that is very bad.

Criticism doesn't necessarily mean harassment.

Jesus Christ! How can you live with yourself after being so extremely toxic?!

What the HP franchise needed was not yet another whiny story about drama and daddy issues, but something like "The Aurors".
The new "fantastic beasts" movie at least seems more about adventure than the usual pathetic drama and "power of love".
Wait, so that guy thinks MEA is going to be disappointing already?
You see when people write stuff from a biased viewpoint they give others the chance to misconstrue and twist their words
Jesus Christ! How can you live with yourself after being so extremely toxic?!
I think this former BW employee is taking the saying "You don't defecate where you eat" way too seriously, that only applies when you are still on their payroll.
He may still comment regarding the closure of forums as a customer, but I sincerely doubt any customer would enjoy having an official forum to converse about BW products being taken away from them, even with all this negativity around

If that is their stance on the matter then Bioware's era has truly met it's fin. I say that as a way to say goodbye. I won't lie that i did enjoy this place years ago, yet with the mistreatment of their fans, trying to pin it on us for their faults such as "spreading hate, etc, and not showing a strong force on the BSn.
Think of this as Salutary Neglect. Bioware let the BSn run it's own course for too long, and when the ME3 ending hit the media it was an end game for Bioware right from the start. They tried to do so much damage control, only to further cause damage by having multiple endings stand as the are, and not easily clarify many things that stuck out of ME3's end run. All I can say is I hope Bioware has gotten their plans straightened out, yet this action is Biowares true stance on the fans and rather have a market of money rather than a fan base feed back to which many have been apart of in the days of Jade Empire, KoToR, and more.
The decision has been made, accept it and move on. BioWare doesn't care and showing how much this move hurt you won't change anything. People are saving the important threads, that's all we need really. Let the rest die in peace and remember it fondly.
It's a decision that makes no and a lot of sense at the same time. It's a mistake and we all know it. It has been said a hundred times by now, let's just stop here.
BioWare doesn't value their fanbase anymore, so why should we waste any time or energy on them? We already know that nothing we do or say will have any effect. Instead we should take a deep breath, lean back and watch them struggle with their social media. In a year or two they'll need a place for ME:A Multiplayer, a place they can moderate themselves because Reddit is not going to work for that and all their other options are even worse for weekly balance threads and similiar things. They'll have to create a new forum for that then... or watch their shiny new game go down in flames because there is no multiplayer without an online community.
I wonder what their marketing team had to say about closing the forum, or if they were consulted at all.
Self made problem* aggravated over years until the only easy solution left was to burn it all down. Because hiring an actual community manager to connect the fanbase with the devs through the forum would be too difficult, they'd have to undo years of damage first and then navigate the BioWare office politics to get the information they need to answer the questions coming up in the forum.
Someone was clever and decided that a complete reboot would solve most problems with the forum. In typical BioWare manner they overlooked the new problems that would create though.
"We don't want to deal with critique anymore, so we're concentrating on venues where we have little or no control over posts." - BioWare logic. ^^
So, an era comes to an end. Remember the good times and move on. There will be new memories made in the future. Maybe not based on a BioWare game, but does that really matter to us in the end? It's not like they are the only game studio around.
*I especially love the part about the self fulfilling prophecy of "The BioWare forums are toxic!" Yeah well, if you repeat it over and over again, people will believe it and that changes how they interact here
I also canceled my Pre-Order for ME:A...I mean what am I supposed to do play it once?
Come on. What if I have questions? What if I want to discuss the lore, the new world, someone's (what's the word Alistair used) hindquarters, what I did wrong in the romance? Where will I turn to without the forums? They will not be here. Will they?
I am living in some fantasy world where the ending changes. That doesn't happen here, does it?
I concur. After a while of being member on here and several BioWare releases since, playing MEA without having access to an official discussion board will be quite the oddity.
Retour en haut
