I think EA/Bioware are blatantly trolling now.

Ha, brilliant. I'm fine with them putting it up there, because frankly, Mass Effect 3 was fricken awesome.

Javik/From Ashes.

What was that about integrity?

If you actually bring him on few missions (Asari planet, to name the most important), he says things that COMPLETELY change shit about Asaris, Protheans and their input in the development of races from current cycle. This isn't Kasumi or Zaeed that have one loyalty mission and few fun remarks on ship/during conversations, it's plot-relevant information. Frankly, during mentioned mission where Liara says "Beacon is probably reacting to the imprints in you, Shepard!" (paraphrased), to which Javik responds "Or the Prothean standing right here". It's basically implied that Javik was meant to be in the original game. Same with his comments on Thessia, about how the asari goddesses were actually Protheans uplifting and protecting asaris.

Either you keep "integrity" from start to end or you shut up. It's almost as dumb as the "It's art!" excuse.

I don't even know what you are talking about. Can you actually state your point?

Sorry, I'll try to dumb down it a little.

You can't shield yourself with claims about "keeping integrity" when you force people to buy an essential to team member (not only to plot, but also to team - he's the only Vanguard, while in ME2 Zaeed and Kasumi filled already occupied positions of Soldier and Infiltrator respectively).

Because if you don't buy Javik, you will never find out about how the Prothean Empire worked, what the Protheans were like, or current races years ago, why asari are so advanced, the truth behind their religions (and probably every religion of the past) and you have 1 out of 6 classes for teammates locked out.

All to cash in a little.

Oh so you are agreeing with me? It looked like you were trying to argue... something. I couldn't figure out what that point was.

That is actually one of the most hilarious ads I've ever read.
I haven't played ME3 yet, but christ, I know how people are raging over the ending.

Can't stop laughing now. EA/Bioware you trolling bastards. :')

That is really, really, really funny.

You guys voted these people to the final round of March Madness? How can you keep ignoring the total lack of respect they have for the fans?

When have the 'fans' done anything to deserve that respect, actually? Would you respect a large group of people calling your company practically the devil, even though all you did is make a game that people didn't like the ending of?

What a bunch of assholes. If that image is genuine then EA has absolutely no respect for their customers. Which in return means we should boycott everything they make or publish.
Until of course they release the next new game that people want.

Pfft... PR just being PR

Not going to win any favours with the fan base though.... but to be fair its just some arsehole in marketing taking advantage, not the games creators.

I can't decide if their PR department is ridiculously clever to the point of being classified as super genius in scope, or they are just dense enough to think that it's all well and good.

Honestly, I can believe either way.

Apparently the game is amazing. The last 5 minutes ruin it but the rest of the game is amazing. And like I've heard, the reason reviews are like that is because they don't play the entire game all the time. Only a majority of it.
Which is flat-out false. The game hover from the quite good to the quite bad and back again throughout. There are plenty of rough edges to the game, and it is hardly anything spectacular when viewed objectively. The only people describing the most of the game as amazing are infected with major fanboism. It's good, but hardly worth the amount of praise it gets. There are simply far better examples of what it does do well, and what it does wrong is simply irreconcilable with how "critically" acclaimed it is(None of the reviews I have read are either critical nor professional in the least, so I use the term loosely here). It's just an above average game that fails to impress much of the time.

The fans don't have to do anything to earn respect, they're paying.

Yes, and the company makes the game they pay for. That's just plain old supply and demand. Respect doesn't factor into it at all.

I actually find it kind of funny. Classy trolling is, in its own way, kind of admirable.

Opinion =/= true/false.

Really wish people would figure that out.
