According to Final Hours, the ending of Mass Effect 3 was literally thought up by a child

[boag]

Well I guess its time to add more fuel to the fire, but hey, if you complain about this, you are an idiot and a stupid entitled manchild for not respecting the authors integrity, right?

for those who haven't bought it:

The Stargazer scene concept was taken from a seventh grade student from Berlin who sent a letter to Casey Hudson.
The boy stated that "It would be cool if Shepard had a child and this child was roaming around a cave and found a prophecy and knew what to do about it because he's Shepard's son."

Casey Hudson stitched that letter to his office door as a reminder that everybody should get at least, one piece of the ending which was the same for every player.

Mac Walters explains that "there's things of the story you don't need to know because they will always be less cool that what you had imagined for them"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martin Sheen's dialogue was delayed from August to mid-november because Bioware was still "experimenting different endings"
"It had to be the end of Commander Shepards saga but there was still debate as wether he should die or not"

I can't even tell what that's an image of.

Also, that child was stupid. That's a stupid letter.

 

[Rude as HECK]

Reminds me of the Onion sketch where an 8 year old who directed Fast and Furious is interviewed.

That's pretty much what i thought.

I mean... why did Casey Hudson even read the damn letter? Surely he got like... a billion letters after ME2 telling him how to end ME3. Why was this letter from a kid, a very poorly written, worded and phrased letter, even raised above all the others?

Also, the following video shows how Bioware(and Casey Hudson) have reacted to fans criticizing all of Mass Effect 3's, "different Endings"

I believe that is EDI's camel toe D:

Funny, didn't even know she had a vagina.

Spoiler: It's EDI. Spoilered for robot cammeltoe.

Clearly TIM used a spare sexbot he had lying around for EVA.

What!? Naw, TIM is far too much of a stud to need sexbots.

(no seriously, read his files in the Shadow Broker DLC. He regularly sleeps with Beauty queens and Miss. Earth and all those models. Also he drinks and smokes a lot.)

Wow, could never have guessed those last two.

This just in: children are idiots.

Also, I'm beginning to feel like this will never stop being relevant:

[sub]please note: the following scene contains "caps" and exclamation points - the "caps" mean someone is shouting (it's probably me)[/sub]

What? MOTHER FUCKER!

The game is rated M! For MATURE! Shouldn't Casey Hudson's first thought have been, "why does this kid know about Mass Effect? It's clearly above his age range." Swiftly followed by, "why am I taking input from children when I can't take constructive critisim from a community I've insulted?" Followed by, "what the hell is wrong with me?" Followed by suicide... artistic SUICIDE!

*gasp*

I don't even. I knew that fucking star child was out of place, even in the demo but... this? This isn't obviously wasn't the same type of writing we got from Mass Effect or even ME2. I just... just.. what? Jesus Chriiiiiiiiiiiiist.

*gasp*

I'm done. This is stupid, Bioware. Why would you do that? I hated that fucking kid! I knew, I fucking KNEW real writers could've come up with a better sympathetic device than that fucking kid! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*gasp*

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why!

*GASP!*

This has been confirmed, right?

It's a geth, obviously.

[him over there]

Who the hell listens to seven year olds? They can't even color in the fucking lines!!

Casey Hudson you are a moron. A grade-A bonafide moron.

Seventh grade actually, which in the scheme of things makes it more pathetic.

Holy shit? 13? And he thought of such a stupid concept? This is ridiculous. Both of them should be shot for preservation of humanity.

Or y'know, we as people aware of these problems can opt to try and change the society that creates these kinds of people to stop it from happening once and for all and possibly help them as well. Short of death there is no such thing as too far gone.

I mean uhh... Hyperbolic cynical snarkiness guys!

 

[Erttheking]

.......WHAT! ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!? I just....GAHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT LOWS HAVE YOU STOOPED TO BIOWARE!

That is hilarious. Don't why but I burst out laughing. Well done!

Poor kid. Honestly I wasn't different at the age so I see it as Hudson being an utter utter fool. Why? This is like Caligula territory

 

[AbstractStream]

This can't be true. Tell me this isn't true.
Oh dear, my eye is twitching.

...EDI is able to have a cameltoe. Wuuuuuut?

 

[silver wolf009]

...EDI is able to have a cameltoe. Wuuuuuut?

My exact reaction, albeit that one could be aired on daytime TV.

Seriously! Who looked at that, and say, "You know what the world needs...? Robot camel toes."

No. The world does NOT need that.

OT: If this is true, and I hope it's not, all I have to say: Bioware, you once amazed me, and made my job actually drop when it was revealed that my quest as a Jedi wasn't as much new ground as I first thought it was, and now you're taking tips from people who just write you in letters? Honestly?

Bioware puts shit like this in every game these days, and get a pass because they have the option to make the blank-slate protagonist female.
