If that was your point, you might benefit from phrasing your opinions in a less offensive, more sophisticated way. You'll find that more people will agree you with if you do.Mcoffey said:My point being that there are other games since Mass Effect that you will probably like better just on the basis that they don't end on a brown note.CloudAtlas said:Now if this ain't a differentiated opinion... Yea yea and, unlike with Mass Effect, there's absolutely no one who doesn't believe that The Last of Us isn't thatawesome, right? Don't make me laugh.Mcoffey said:The ending of Mass Effect 3 was absolute dog-shit. We all know this. But it's been two years guys. Time to pull the plug, rip off the band aid and move on to other things. Have you tried The Last of Us? It's better than Mass Effect in just about every conceivable fashion.

Instead of rewriting history- history that isn't terribly important, I might add- why not just... do something else?
As I would; if someone has some gripes with a story, I can understand to feel the desire to write an improved version of the story.

But to spend 400 pages on it instead of, say, 4? Pretty excessive.
