Bioware forums explode as Mass Effect 3 ending details are leaked. *MINOR SPOILERS*

[Radelaide]

Bioware could tell you every little detail about the game and it's still going to sell like hotcakes because it's MASS EFFECT. Nothing they do could honestly stunt their sales.

BSN is entitlement incarnate.

I would say that's more /v/ or reddit. Everyone on the BSN just week ago seemed fairly excited for the game, but after the news of how basic the story is people are going fucking crazy.

 

[BaronIveagh]

Mods are literally doing a scorched earth response, it's insanity.

I have never seen a more dedicated fan base turn so rabid so fast in years.

LOL It's Banhammer 40k! With Stan 'The Man' Woo as the God Emperor of Modkind.


It did go from

Bioware Policy Old:

To Bioware Policy New:

They go crazy over EVERY announcement.

-Ash let her hair done "OMG BIOWARE IS SELLING OUT"
-In-game screens of the skill bars with more skills and ranks per skill "OMG BIOWARE IS LIEING ITS A SCAM THERE'S REALLY LESS SKILLS"
-Collectors edition gets robo dog companion "OMG BIOWARE TOOK OUT CRITICAL GAME DATA PREORDER CANCELLED"


etc. etc.

I'd say they didn't go far enough with their polite, well thought out criticism of DA2.

Or they did and STAN THE MAN banned them all.

 

[Iron Criterion]

The most impressive mature ending is where they can pull off a happily ever after, without making it contrived or cheesy.

But anything 'the universe is as good as new' ending in a situation like this would be contrived. The Reapers are an immense threat, who are already laying into Earth at the start of the game. The only plausible ending is one that requires sacrifice, just look at the end of ME1, look how much death and destruction was caused by one mere Reaper. In ME3 you face The Reapers' entire army, how is it illogical for the universe to be fucked along the way? I would even argue that it is contrived the universe survives at all.

Your joking right?

95% of the Da2 hate was far from polite or well thought out.

It was for the most part trolling, personal attacks against the staff, blatant lieing about in-game features.

It was some of the most sickening garbage I have ever read.

Yes, I was joking.

Are you talking about the garbage and lying from the players or the garbage and lying from the staff? Because there was enough of both to go around.

I think you've mis-quoted here. I never typed such words.

Sorry about that, it was sajuukar quoting you that I was quoting and the little hamsters that power the forum fell out of their wheel.

It is quite fine good sir; quite fine indeed. I'll admit that at first I was mad, since I thought you were employing the old tactic of mis-quoting me to try and ruin my credibility; then I realised it was a simple mistake. So a tip of the hat to you.

Most of the so called "lieing" from the staff wasn't lies at all, though I do use the word most.

BSN seems to think that "anything that doesn't fit their preconceived notion of how bioware is post EA is a lie" even though most of what the claim has changed is BS.

I dunno, the new policy of 'love it or leave it' and 'no noobs need apply' is definitely an unwelcome new thing.

Yes because allowing that pit that sometimes makes 4Chan look bearable continue to fester is a better alternative?

I don't understand why people who claim to hate everything Bioware has done since BG2 continue to go on there.

Well. If my favorite Shepard gets to live and retire with her romantic interest, then it's fine. I'm not reading the ending, but if that doesn't happen then fuck you Bioware. Heros deserve happy retirements. You know, if they want one.

Too bad that kind of ending invalidates one of the biggest themes of the entire seires.

You mean the one with the importance of your choices?

Most people seem angry because this effectively destroys the Mass Effect Universe. There will never be another game like 1 or 2, they effectively butt-fucked the cannon into an inescapable hole.

Oh and almost all your actions are invalidated, all your choices don't play out at all. Just a crappy way to send out this series.

No it doesn't

It destroys any hope of another spin-off with Shepard and Co.

The galaxy will rebuild. It has all the time it needs to do so.

And yes, your choices still lead a different ending with some being blocked if you hadn't choose well.

Either way, all I see right now is sad ending equals bad ending.

To me, I can't wait to see my Shepard rise up to the occasion. She will die but she will fight till her last breath despite the circumstances.
