Ahhh the cat speaks! And winks...which is a little creepy...>.>Fappy said:
Anyhow, yeah, I know that's what dedicated fanbases do, that doesn't make it right though. I mean it's one thing to ***** and moan when George Lucas takes a big greasy shit all over his own work and actively changes what has already been established. But thus far, the ending to ME 3 is the established ending. And we all get it, Bioware screwed the pooch on it. They choked. They made a crappy ending and the fans have every right to say "BOOOOOOOO!!!"
But coming up on 2 full months after the games release and people are still coming up with NEW reasons you should be even more pissed at Bioware? That is just a wee bit ridiculous.
While I agree and pity those who feel the need to pick apart the ending at this stage at least it shows us something kind of awesome. People loved the ME universe so much that they are trying to salvage it from what they think is its death. Now if people only put that kind of effort and devotion into things that... you know, actually mattered >.>RJ 17 said:

I already knew that the fanbase was dedicated, you could easily tell that with hurricane of crap that was raging before the game even came out. And again, I'm not bashing their zeal or passion for the game/series. Hell, I'm so zealous and passionate that I'm almost done with my 3rd playthrough of ME 3 and I'm looking forward to my 4th in which I play through all 3 games, make sure I kill Wrex on Virmire, and make sure absolutely NO ONE survives from ME 2.But see? My passion for the series is so strong that I'm not letting the shit ending ruin the whole thing for me. I still love Mass Effect. I think it's probably the greatest series of games I've ever played ever. Am I just blinding myself and deluding myself from all the BS that Bioware and EA have thrown our way? Of course not. However I'm not actively looking for new reasons to get pissed off and sustain my (literally) raging hard-on.
That is, a hard-on induced by rage. Tried something new with a pun there, hoping it works out.
I called my girlfriend (who had finished it a day earlier) and we made fun of it, made up a name for the creepy kid. Wasn't a good ending but neither of us were mad about it, we just made fun of it and compared our endings.
I coped by not touching the game for almost two months and playing other titles like Fallout NV and Red Dead Redemption. Oh! I also played waaaaaayyyyy to much battlefield.
A while back I came to same conclusion you did though. Eventually you just get over ME and the whole ending madness. I still have no urge to play the campaign again really, but from time to time I give the multiplayer some time. It is pretty decent, nothing special, but decent.

Not sure what you mean? They said they would be "clarifying" the ending in some free DLC over the summer months, and I expect them to be adding more paid DLC as well at some point, since it seems to be the thing to do these days. That's what I'm waiting for.Vuliev said:
I don't know what the story is with the face-import bug.
You are clearly not over it, seeing as you feel the need to make ANOTHER thread about it.
Because we need more. So many goddamn more threads. I haven't played the game yet, (I will, dispite hearing all the rage over the supposed horrible ending), so prehaps I'm wrong, and we should be rushing to the internet to rage over the ending, but I don't think so. Complaining to Bioware about the ending was stupid. And making threads saying you feel betrayed and wounded by the ending, and need all this time to get over it is stupid.
/Rant over. But still.

I was disapointed too but didn't make a big stink like most did.
I usually do 3 playthroughs in that game, 2 full ones, one pure renegade and one pure paragon, then a neutral speed run. I have all 3 files saved right before the last 2 missions so that when they release whatever the hell it is they're releasing that will make the ending better then I can pop it in and go.
I havent actually touched the game since early April because once I got 52/52 achievements I just stopped, even multiplayer lost its appeal. Not trading it in though incase future DLCs come out.

I like this idea, if the extended DLC turns out to be crap, instead of sending Bioware 400 cupckaes, why don't we send them a few polished turds? Maybe that'll get the point across this time lolJynthor said:
I? don't know. After all the time and energy and emotional investment I put into it, I really was furious at how terrible I felt the ending was, to the point that I was ranting and raving. But after the anger and feelings of betrayal burned away, I realized I'd stopped caring. Which also infuriates me, because I loved Mass Effect 1 and felt that the second game, while not as good, was still a great game. And I did like the third game. I liked it a lot! Probably the second best in the series. But it's like, those last ten minutes, showing that the creators who had once invested so much time and energy into making this series didn't seem to really care about it anymore, were so bad they dragged everything else down. To think that eighty plus hours of gameplay and decisions led to? that. Just? that. It killed the whole series for me. And I know I sound like I'm coming across as melodramatic, but that's just how horrifically anti-climactic and terrible the ending was to ME. This is just a matter of opinion, and I know there are lots of people who liked the ending, but for me it just sucked so bad that it killed everything else, including my interest. I won't even be downloading that ending DLC when it comes out, and it's FREE. That's how little I care anymore.Vault101 said:liek I said..how can you do that?Broken Blade said:Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I'm over the anger, and I've just stopped caring about the series in general. I've been replaying Assassin's Creed.
I now find both ME3 and the company that made it/stand by it to be legitimately funny. Here's a quick summary of why:
1. Rates as literally flawless on the average "objective" reviewer's sliding scale, despite obvious and numerous problems throughout the game (not just the ending).
2. It's the final installment in a story heavy single player game famous for dedication to it's fanbase, and it's website doesn't even *mention* the single player campaign. Or fan reactions for that matter. If I had to guess from this homepage: http://masseffect.bioware.com/ I'd guess it was an arcade style shoot 'em up that's gonna be made available "free" in a few months.
3. Bioware has an entire egg basket on their collective faces and they're still acting like dandies on their way to the ball with powdered cheeks.
4. People actually genuinely believe Bioware has an intact fanbase.
5. People *still* buy that the "Extended Cut" will be worth the wait.
6. Some people believe the indoctrination theory. STILL.
So yeah, pretty damn funny. I can't help but picture bright wigs and puffy red noses on Bioware/EA officials when they talk about themselves now. Makes it entertaining.

That's like saying "what's the GOP about?" Well, they all like guns, I can tell you that much. After that it's every man for himself.RaikuFA said:
well now that you people posting about disappointment and have finished your mass effect games.
Why not start with Myth II Soulblighter, 10 dollars on ebay. In its twelfth year running the Myth world cup tournament will begin in a months time, so we are looking for new blood to continue the legacy of this epic game.
Mass effect had its time, its now time for a older game that will not remove 100$ from your savings only to be ashamed later on for fooling for EA's effective Old tricks.

I was super pissed at the ending: I didn't touch my Xbox for 3 days (that's really something for me)
I felt slightly better about it when I saw the internet raging about it.
But then I watched Avatar(the only thing I'm more nerdy about than mass effect) for the first time in 2 years and I realised I didn't care for any of the characters in ME3 anymore.
That shows you how fickle I am...
