BioWare: "We're Not Done" With Mass Effect

[TheCaptain]

This'll be interesting. Bioware on their own can pull it off, I'm certain. Just hope they'll keep the Casey or the Mac or whoever on a tighter leash this time around.

Also, I still think there's more than just additional stories for ME3 out there. With the pieces of DLC likely to pile on more and more EMS, there's gotta be a breaking point. Where the fraekishly high EMS score DOES male another difference...

You might not be done with Mass Effect, but I sure as fuck am.

Then please explain why you feel compelled to constantly remind them and everyone else of how you are allegedly done with the series.

I'll stop posting about how I'm done with the series when it dies and there aren't anymore news articles about how EA is still kicking this dead horse.

You care about this stuff far more than I and far more than you probably should, have fun regardless...

I fail to see how taking fifteen seconds out of my day to type up a post constitutes as caring too much.

It's not the time you take out of your day, it's that you constantly repeat the same thing more than 6 months on, even though you claim to be done and not care anymore.

I am done with the Mass Effect series, I'm just royally pissed off that EA/Bioware are pretending that the franchise is still going strong and that they didn't royally fuck it up.

If releasing free DLC in an attempt to correct their mistake isn't admitting at least some sort fault then what would it be exactly?

Making it so that the DLC actually changed the ending and make it so that it wasn't just a turd polish. Dropping the "artistic integrity" bullshit would be nice too.

The only way to beat ME3 is scale is to go smaller. Mae its a much more personal story rather than "hurdur now its the UNIVERSE!"

That's actually a really good idea. Instead of playing as commander Shepard saving the galaxy, how about playing as a character whose goal is of personal importance, not just "because otherwise we're all screwed"? Granted, Bioware did a good job at making us feel a need to save the galaxy, but seeing as their biggest strength aside from worldbuilding is making characters we all know and love, it only makes sense to make a new game that focuses on said characters.

And as a side note, I would really love it if the protagonist wasn't human. Perhaps you could play as a turian rebuilding Palaven in the wake of the Reapers, trying to make contact with your family who you had to leave behind...

So this is all because they didn't do what you wanted.

What I wanted them to do was pull their heads out of their asses and write a quality ending, so yeah, technically you're right. I fail to see how that's a bad thing though.

 

[The Great JT]

Bioware's (most likely) Thoughts: We made this galaxy full of interesting ideas, so damn it, we're going to explore possibilities with it!

My Thoughts: They made a galaxy full of interesting ideas where lots of cool stuff could happen, so they're going to explore possibilities within it!

 

[OManoghue]

With the co-founders gone, EA can finally melt down BioWare into a gray paste.

 

[digital warrior]

I just wonder, where can they actually go with Mass Effect?

They can't really do anything that is set after 3. I don't want to play in a universe without the Geth, and a world where everyone runs around with green glowing eyes and circuits while sharing a hive-mind, and husks (and presumable certain objects) are fully sentient, is, quite frankly, disturbing as all hell. The least universe-changing ending I could imagine them go with is Control, but the implications of that would be kind of creepy as well. It would pretty much require Shepard to be the antagonist.

Ha that is actually a pretty good twist, so they wont use it.

Other works of fiction have had bad endings, that doesn't give the audience the right to demand change in someone else's work. Bioware made the games, Bioware has the right to make any ending it wants weather it be good or bad.

Yeah...doesn't change that the ending is complete and utter shit though, and when they did actually change the ending, they compeltly phoned
it in.

 

[disgruntledgamer]

Well EA might not be done with Mass Effect but that doesn't mean most of the fans aren't. Most of them still feel betrayed and cheated by EAs sticky fingers all over the franchise now.

FYI I'm not even referring to Bioware as Bioware anymore, they're just EA an EA drone.

 

[wolf thing]

what would be cool is if they make a sequal were the conrtol ending is cannon and the reaper are running a police state, and play a resistence fight trying to over throw shepard who lost his way years ago. but that would be cool and unique so i dont think that will happen

 

[TheRussian]

In lieu of elegantly wrapping up a trilogy they are adding inconsequential stuff? Never change, BioWare.

Ending was shit, criticize, complain, be disappointed, but after 6 months, just get over it.

 

[bossfight1]

Let me know when they make DLC that lets you have a chance at a happy ending, and I will forgive Bioware for fucking over the franchise. Until then, they're pretty much dead to me.

 

[Bmagada]

Maybe Bioware should just go make KOTOR 3 already and spare us all any of they're future ME plans.
