My last post came off WAY more whiny than I intended it, as several people have been kind enough to point out. My point is simply that the gaming world has always been full of disappointments (ET, Superman 64, Daikatana, Duke Nukem Forever). Hell, if I remember correctly, didn't Duke Nukem Forever actually say in game that the game was worth the wait? Wasn't that quote used in most of the game's ads? I've never been surprised when a game/movie/whatever doesn't live up to the hype/commercials/pre-release interviews. It's just a natural part of the monster. I'm actually surprised that Bioware has responded to the outcry at all. Note, before you start jumping down my throat about that last statement, that I didn't say they SHOULDN'T. I think it's great that they did. I just didn't think they would.
I believe that's actually addressed in one of the books. Don't quote me on that, as I've only read a little bit of the first book, which takes place well before the first game, but from what I've heard, Anderson voluntarily steps down. It's kinda stupid for them to put such a big plot point in a book and not at least reference it directly in game, but there it is.Arina Love said:
Yeah! Like how in the first game, deciding who lives and hwo dies doesnt matter...because you... decide who lives... and who dies?Arina Love said:
Or how in the last game, letting the Quarians be wiped out for their own stupidity doesnt matter...because...they wouldnt have died if you saved them?
Or...how the...renegade ending...can kill an entire race...but the paragon one...doesnt?
Im lost.
I cant understand comments like this with mounds of evidence to the contrary.
I could get behind the Sacrifice theme; but you guys sacrificed logic, consistency, common sense and continuity with this ending.
My opinion? Not bad. The endings are visually similar to each other and require sacrifice, so its not a "happy" happy ending.RJ Dalton said:
A lot of people think its just aweful but i havnt found one person yet who will lay out the reasons why in a manner that isnt either...well...stupid, or easily disputed (see my above post of key instances where your choices do matter, in direct oposition to someones claim)
Honestly option B is their best option. While yes people will will say it was just a copy of what the fans wanted the support for such a movement will be lucky to have half the numbers of the current one. At this point it isn't about appeasing everyone it is about damage control to their reputation.shado_temple said:
Option A will just leave their reputation as it is, beaten and bruised after DA2 and ME3 ending. Option C may appease some people and will make them a lot of money but it will also piss off a lot more people, even those who are not ME fans. Option B will leave some pissed off but will appease the majority.
What a load of shit, find the biggest rock and hide behind it.
One day they'll have to justify their laziness.
We are given no insight to what our decision's conciquences are, and we were promised an ending based on how you played the damned games!
Everyone's ending is the damned same.
"You then carry the knowledge of these consequences with you as you complete the final moments of your journey" What a load of fuck-tard laziness. For christs sake I can't remember everything with perfect detail I did in the other 2 games! Don't expect me to reflect over those shit endings you gave, SHOW IT.

1. Last 15 minutes or so. Semantics, but yeah.Mister Linton said:
2. We are being kind. We could just leave Bioware to rot and not buy another of their games. Hell, Amazon is giving full refunds on ME3, so we could trade it in too. Instead, we are telling the Devs what they've done wrong, and how to fix it. Far kinder than leaving them lot with no job don't you think?
3. We are well within our rights to complain. Imagine if the next CoD was talked up to be the fastest paced CoD game ever, with more maps than any other, more guns, bigger explosions and an the best FPS of 2012, only to have it be released as a turn based Tactical shooter along the lines of Jagged Alliance. You can bet people would be POd
Yeah, this is about the ending. Know what? This whole game was about the ending. That's why we bought it. To bring a satisfying end to Shepard's story. When the whole point of the game turns out to be crap, we'll be pissed. We have a right to be, and anyone who says otherwise apparently doesn't have the right to return a faulty product to anywhere, as they're just being entitled.
Please, tell me the differences in these endings, and how my choices affected them. Please, do:Muphin_Mann said:

To me, they all look the same.
Indirectly you can say your choices had consequence, but when it comes down to it, they didn't. No matter which choice you made, one of these three multicoloured explosions will happen. No matter what choice you made, the battle for Earth will play out the same, with 1 or 2 minor variations. That isn't your choice changing anything, that is your choice changing nothing. You can imagine that your choices effected something, but they didn't. Why? You can imagine anything you want. Sure, you can say that because you cured the Genophage, the Krogan will now live happily and reclaim their place in Krogan Society. I say that because the Genophage was cured, the Salarians plant and activate a WMD on Tuchanka, wiping out 80% of Krogans in existence as they gathered for breeding, thus dooming the Krogan to exile.
No matter what happens, you can imagine what you want to happen, but that's all it will be - your imaginings. What really happens is 'Speculation for Everyone!', and the game ends the same way no matter what. Bioware made a bad ending that didn't honour your choices at all. We have our right to complain about it.
You know what I can't wait for? The DLC that takes place in the galaxy you pretty much made devoid of inter-stellar travel. Yeah... No one's going anywhere except to that broken remains of Earth, and whatever Joker and friends landed on. They'll probably just join the Na'vi. Looks like Pandora to me.
yet the end is still the same just in different colours non of your choices matter at the end non of them.Muphin_Mann said:
ME3 is lazily put together pos. Just a money grab because they were too lazy to do something meaningful with choices and ending. they spent all money of marketing and gameplay tweaks and rushed out of the door before it became decent mass effect game.
