Something I've been pretty frustrated about the last few days is how all you seem to hear is how the ending of Mass Effect 3 RUINED the whole game, or that the ending DESTROYED your love of the series. What I don't understand is, why do people have to blow it so out of proportion? Okay, you didn't like the ending. That's fine. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for in an ending, but I'm not going around to every person on the internet asking if they should play the game and telling them the last five minutes of the game will make them want to kill themselves or that it'll release snakes into their house.

These days it seems things like hyperbole, attacking someone's spelling or grammer, calling someone a troll, or just outright name calling has replaced actual debate. You can't say that you didn't like a game without someone calling you a troll and completely disregarding the fact you're just pointing out what you didn't like about it. But I guess these are just the times we like in, and I really don't like it.
