Where Mass Effect 3 Went Wrong (video)

[Wolfenbarg]

I know the whole Mass Effect 3 thing has been done to death, especially the ending, but this video talks about many aspects that other people ignored. It focuses more on design elements of the game. There is a section about the ending, but it doesn't really dominate the piece. Check it out.

You post this as if people actually need and/or want more to complain about in ME 3...

Pretty sure the general consensus is that it's time to move on, as is evident with how you felt starting your topic off with "I know the whole Mass Effect 3 thing has been done to death..." was necessary.

Really?

Really?

People still feel the need to post threads like these?

Every single person on the planet has heard every single possible theory and opinion about this.

Why do you think yours is any different enough to start another thread?

 

[Erttheking]

Yeah I'm sorry, I was good with the game up until the ending, I don't care if other people have problems with the rest of the game because I thought that they were good. I "missed them" because they didn't bother me. I hate it when people try to tell me that I shouldn't like something that I should.

 

[Rude as HECK]

May I suggest, if nothing else, we get mods to merge all new ME3 threads into on, like, super thread?

 

[Aerosteam]

Complaining about anything to do with Mass Effect 3 is sooo last month...

And the only thing that sucked in ME3 was the ending, end of.

I totally agree!

=D

No-o-o-o! The Mass Effect singularity will break the Internet.

OT: Interesting. Can you now find us something audio only (podcast/songs), and something in sign language, as well as one printed in Braille. We must really cover all the bases, so no person will be left without knowing this Antichrist that is the Mass Effect 3 ending.

The entire game was rushed and lazy to the extent of Dragon Age 2.

I don't care if it's been done to death. I wish everyone would have kept pressure on BioWare, but hopefully the internet will turn back to anarchy when they release the post-ending DLC that won't satisfy anyone.

Uh I can't see how people would take issue with Mass Effect 3's mechanics, they are the same mechanics as always give or take some biotic abilities and skills. Same dialogue tree of pick between these handfuls of decisions shit, I wouldn't consider that to be a great role playing game experience.

5/10 video, did not appreciate the humor much.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

I sort of agree with a few of his points, but overall this has been covered much better by pretty much everyone else I've seen talk about it bar Moviebob. It doesn't help that this guy would have to try pretty hard to sound any more obnoxious.

But yeah, I think it's time we put this matter to rest.

 

[KingofMadCows]

I would say where they went wrong was deciding to emphasized emotions at the expense of logic, which really started with "The Arrival." They basically wrote the game to make the audience feel certain things but just didn't care if it actually made sense or is consistent with previous lore.

You know, as soon as I saw your (rather eye-catching) avatar, and given the thread topic, I thought "Yay, another derailment is imminent!".

Sadly, I was disappointed.

I have disappointed you.

This burden is too hard to bare sometimes...

 

[Risingblade]

Well then time to get a bowl of Ice cream and listen to what this guy has to say.

 

[DoPo]

I have disappointed you.

Aww, don't feel bad.

You can still redeem yourself . . .

I don't think he can. He needs to be punished. I shall lay a curse on Daystar

Daystar Clarion, may you run out of toothpaste without noticing!

There, the deed is done.

Bah, your puny curse is nothing compared to the horrors I can unleash upon the world.

Ever ran out of tea? Yeah, that was me.

Fear me!
