Well technically the ending was determined by your choices...specifically the choice of whether you want to paint the galaxy green, blue, or red *insert drum rimshot*

My favorite lie from ME 3: "The ending won't be some bland, cliched "Pick A, B, or C" ending." - Casey Hudson.
Swing and a miss on that one, my boy.

My favorite spin from ME 3: "The ending to Mass Effect 3 has generated a larger fan response than any other game in history."
Guess they weren't lying about that one...but I love how they say that like it's a good thing.

Actually he said

"It?s not even in any way like the traditional game endings,
where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got
ending A, B, or C.....The endings have a lot more sophistication and
variety in them."

Technically you don't get any ending you choose endings. Semantics? sure, but I'm fairly certain he phrased it that way on purpose.

Yeah, I know I didn't get the quote exactly right. Point remains though: Casey Hudson's a douche.

That we can agree on

Wii U owners beware the false prophet that is Bioware.

I'm not so enraged about that as I am confused about why they don't release the second one first.

They say you can play the third one and still get the story, but that's just not so. There's still a ton of stuff that you're just expected to know or understand.

But hey, EA's call on that one. One would think they'd want two games released to potentially get double the sales, but guess not.

Well, lets get the introductions out of the way, just as a formality.
Face, this is Palm.
Palm, this is Face.
Ahhh, isn't that cute, their friends already.


It'll be surprising to find out how many Wii owners, or people who don't have the other consoles to play Mass Effect on haven't heard about what a horrendous failure ME 3 was. I doubt this will fool many people.

Or maybe the WiiU version of ME 3 will actually be good. Stranger things have happened. I mean, I can't think of any, but I'm sure they're there.

It's kind of sad really. Bioware was such a great company once. They taught us so many things with their games and now....well.

In the words of Jacob Taylor.

"I've already mourned the man that he used to be."

As for the EA thing...not suprising, and they aren't really lying either, they are just omitting certain...truths...
