Major Mass Effect 3 Ending Content Cut out Kotor 2 style (spoilers)

[h1/]I DON'T FUCKING CARE[/HEADING]

The ending to Mass Effect 3 was beautiful. Yes, there are complaints to be made, but it deserves NOTHING compared to what you people have done.

In terms of this, just stop it. There is ALWAYS more to be put into a game, but devs have to draw a line somewhere.

I left this forum for several months just to escape bullshit like this, but I can see things haven't improved.

I'll see you all in another few to check if you have gotten over this crap yet.

That's not the point. Yes, it was a good ending, it wasn't a good ending to Mass Effect. It was a ending to a completely different series, that made no sense in the context and made more holes in the plot than a fully-loaded minigun against a piece of paper. It was not the ending the series deserved. It was a rushed out, imcompatible piece of shit that deserves all the hate it is getting and more.

*Yawn*

To be honest, i'm sick to death of these ME3 threads... i agree with the people that say let it drop.

The ending may be awful, it may not have been what YOU hoped for, or anyone else, but that doesn't make it okay to barrage this game with 100 tons of hatred. It's petty, and won't change a fucking thing. Be thankful Bioware are making free DLC endings, they didn't have to, and they could of made it cost, but they aren't.

But alas, what i am saying is going to go waaaayyyyy over people's heads and i'm going to get a shit storm.

Oooh, and did i mention? *yawn*

So, when presented with something that cleary is just a rushed out piece of shit we should just be thankful we have that piece of shit? NO. Of course not. It may not change anything in the present, but at least it's a way to say we demand some quality, and that companies like EA can't do whatever the fuck they please without any repercussions.

Also, Bioware has to do it (The free DLC). Not because of some obligation, but to survive. Dragon Age 2 was a shit storm as well. People were channeling all their hope in Bioware to Mass Effect 3. If they don't do anything fast, they will lose a big chunck of their fan base, and a lot of profit. Which I hope they do. Bioware is not what it used to be. It's cycle has come to an end. It needs to die, so that others can be born.

Even if we can't chance anything now, we can send a message to them.

You realise Bioware asked EA for more time but EA didn't give them it? Sure Bioware maybe partly to blame, but EA are the ones who are mainly to blame. They were the ones who rushed it out, if i know Bioware (which i do, every game i have played of there's has been great) then they would of loved for this game to be the game we all hoped for.

I'm no Bioware "Fanboy" (god i hate that word, ergh) before anyone smacks me over the head with a brick for praising them. But saying you wish they lost profit and most of there fanbase? bit harsh for one game don't you think? (well okay 2, but still) Both Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3 were published by EA, putting most of the blame on Bioware isn't right.

I guess you're right. It's a little too much to wish bankrupt to a company. But the sad truth is that since Bioware alligned themselves with EA, they have never been the same. So let me rephrase it:

I wish EA bankrupts and that Bioware finds a publisher that respects their timelines.

Captcha: "mumbo jumbo" Oh, it's like you have better things to say, captcha.

That's more like it!

Anyone fancy creating a fellowship and marching onto the slopes of Mount EA?

Captcha: "Not Yet" i shit you not...

We will march when the Captcha says so >.>

Lord Inglip has spoken!

OT: I'm getting kind of tired of this. I'm bummed about this whole thing, too. But all we can do is move on... however, I don't think that will be possible once the DLC will come out. I have a bad feeling that it's only gonna get worse. None of what we see here is gonna factor in. That's my fear.

Also, who else got teary eyed when they heard Jack's dialogue? Don't worry, I did too. <_<

A lot of people are saying that the ending was botched due to time constraints, but I think there was more to it

It seems no one remembers but the ending was leaked about a month or 2 before the game came out, so i'm thinking they just chopped off the original ending, right around the point where you make a mad dash for the big citadel transport laser, and everything after that was filler. Bioware probably thought that they couldn't release something people knew about so they just quick-changed it last minute.
If this theory is true, the fans screwed up again by making thousands of Indoctrination videos. That theory to me made sense and whether or not its official thats how Im going to remember the game, but instead of just sitting back and chilling too many fan videos were made and now Bioware is again forced to abandon a logical ending and will end up either: expanding and trying to explain the crap they already released, or end up making something even goofier. Because here they are paying writers big bucks, they cant just adopt some fan made thing right...?

The other theory is that since ME fans seem to be so angry all the time about every little detail, maybe they gave us a shit ending as one big universal F*CK-YOU!!, felt all around the world. Since people wouldn't stop complaining about the writers, Diana Allers, the day one dlc, the human reaper boss in ME2, having a gay shepard, not seeing Tali, the list goes on.

In future though, can companies work on the ending first? Or at least very early on in the development process where they have cash?

Would make sense to work on beginning and ending first because they leave the most important impressions, but a rushed production usually also means a rushed preproduction phase, which means writers frequently make up the story as they go, only focusing on adjusting and tweaking what's needed for today's session with only vague ideas about how things will conclude. A lot can change during the years of development if handled like this.

I just want to say that I was hesitant to go and play ME3, because of all the negative press and reactions(based solely on the ending)
And I think it is one of the best, if not the best game trilogy's I have ever played, I haven't finished the game jet, but I have seen all the endings.

The only thing I'm thinking at the moment is that it is such a shame that there has to be an ending... seriously I am gonna miss my crew...
really hoping bioware is gonna continue this great universe with all its inhabitants one way or another

 

[wintercoat]

Some of you folks are just spoiled. Just be thankful you didn't spend all that time playing the game and when you beat it you get a screen that says, "Congratulations! GAME OVER". That was the norm back in my day.

Back in my day, we played games on a 12 inch CRT that had a 50hz refresh rate. And we only had three pixels, and we liked it that way!!!!! Kids today, and their "3rd dimension". Pah!

I reckon Indoctrination Theory is at least partly on the money... there are just too many coincidences to ignore.

I still think Bioware have a few tricks up their proverbial sleeve. Remember, PR is PR. The outcry from fans has made their game even more famous.

And if they release something game-changing (literally) as DLC, it may very well totally redeem them while simultaneously debunking all the criticisms directed towards the ending. A total reversal of the status quo, with everyone in the gaming world informed about it.

 

[GartarkMusik]

thats it. fuck EA for rushing the game, but FUCK BIOWARE FOR NOY HAVING BALLS TO TELL THE TRUTH.

To be fair, if BioWare did tell the truth, EA could probably just shut them down, or pull funding from future products. Maybe they couldn't, but let's face it, would anyone want to find out for sure?

on one hand its like "theres jsut TOO MUCH that makes sense, theres got to be somthing to this"

on the other hands its like "do you honestly think thats the case? that Biowares just trolling us and it will all turn out brillaint?"

I sooo want to belive ,but I wont be dissapointed..I'll just try and enjoy the fallout, should be itneresting

you have a point though, sure its bad PR and I imagine peopel have rage-quitted forever...but it caused the game in question to be talked about a long time after people would have usually forgotten and moved onto the next big thing

makes you wonder.....

Mass Effect jumped to the top of my favourite series as soon as I played each game and then to get an ending that wasn't just not that good but made every single action iv'e ever done or choice iv'e made irrelevant, SOMETHING to make the constant back and forth from random planets to the citadel to pick Mars bars for ungrateful scaly people to raise that little bar to over 5000 and then get 100% readiness the only good thing about that whole ending is that the Relays are still working and my Shep had that stupid little "Gasp" thing right at the end
