The FTC complaint and the Retake ME3 thing have nothing to do with each other. The FTC complaint was made by ONE PERSON. One absolute fool. Please get your facts straight before deciding to ridicule a group of people who simply spoke up because they were unhappy with how something was handled.

OT: Good comic, clever but bound to touch a nerve with a lot of people.

Great comic, I could read this kind of thing all day because I know someone out there is really, really mad right now. Still infuriated about their overpriced time-waster didn't do exactly what they wanted in the last five minutes of a 70+ hour story arc.
I might get called a troll because of my opinion, but that's only because I have nothing but tough love for babies.

Considering the amount some of the more vocal and angry members of the Retake Movement swung the phrase around it gives me childish, petty yet great pleasure nonetheless to say "You just don't understand"

But if you make a small donation of £20 directly to my Paypal account (non refundable) I'll send you a hand written pocket guide* on how to understand and how to direct your hate towards the Critical Miss team in the most efficient manner.

*Not a scam honest, look it has words and pages and everything. You can check for yourself, just look through my screen, totally legit.

I.....I honestly can't tell who this comic is making fun off.

The people who complained about the ending? the people mocking the people who complained about the ending? Everyone involved?

Ya know this might seem a little hard to grasp but there are web comic creators that manage to get pretty decent hits writing quality content. Maybe you should try it because strips like this just make me feel sorry for you and I couldn't be paid to give a shit one way or another about Mass Effect 3.

I thought to myself 'surely people will get the joke, it's pretty obvious.' Read the comments and. . .I just. . .

Well guys, I thought it was funny. I think the majority of people were seeing too much red to notice the last panel and the dialogue below the comic.

Really, the start of the strip is shock value. They're just trolling with it. The actual point of the strip is the last panel.

And, the point of the last strip is? If we're talking about the red-green-blue thing, then I'm afraid they were already beaten to that particular punch. By Bioware/EA, no less.

Anyway, this really should have been done a few weeks ago. It might not have made it funny, but it would have at least made it timely.

you know. even when the after ending dlc comes out. all those crying wusses would still cry cuz they arnt changing the three choices. just adding epilouge. and honestly.. thats great. i didnt mind the ending. just that it seemed to cut short. and epilouge is what is needed! but yeah. great strip :D
Issue: the Reaper King contradicts the tone and themes of the series, and raises several plot holes by his existence. Also, regardless of how you put it Synthesis is Space Magic[sup]TM[/sup] in a series that otherwise doesn't have Space Magic[sup]TM[/sup]. Also the lack of closure. Also... well, there's other things but I have stuff to do.

I will probably not be happy with the ending DLC, but not because they aren't changing the choices. I'd be unhappy because it is unlikely that the DLC will address these major issues. However, I remain cautiously optimistic - I've enjoyed almost all of Bioware's previous work (especially their DLC[footnote]excluding Pinnacle Station... grr....[/spoiler]) so I believe that it is still possible for Bioware to fix the issues they have created. We shall see when it comes out.

Fans point out plot holes and inconsistencies with the ending and how it doesn't fit in the story

Game journalists and their websites that are plauged with EA ads call us entitled

Real journalists from Forbes, BBC News, CNN, NY Times, NY Daily news, etc... say the fans have a point and point out all the quotes Bioware said about the ending and how it ended up being lies.

Yeah, and you wonder why no one takes game journalists seriously anymore. I bet most of you game journalists cringe seeing more credible sources like Forbes rip you apart while you have nothing but petty comments to respond with.
It's a mater of burn out on the part of game journalists. They see overreactions every time any somewhat popular title comes out. Consider that we've seen extreme outrage over a single developer not updating his game quick enough for their community (Minecraft), and a character looking too different from last time (InFamous 2).

You see this constantly and people get burned out and when a legit complaint comes up all they hear off hand is the same volume and tone as the last 5 times and brush it off out of habit. It has nothing to do with being shills for developers.

Accusing everyone who doesn't support the "Retake Mass Effect" movement of taking bribes from EA? Truly a rock-solid argument in every way.

Saying that people only disagree with you because they're being paid to disagree with you is truly the perfect defense, and will totally dispel any misconceptions that Retake Mass Effect is made of bitter man-children.

This is all kinds of brilliant. All kinds.

Really missed an opportunity by not having shirts up for sale, though.
