Mass Effect 3

[Amari24]

Like I said before, I actually liked the ending. Not saying it didn't have flaws, but I did really like it and was struggling to decide which choice to make because the repercussions.


SPOILERS BELOW:






Sure I would have liked to seen more of my crew afterwards, what happened to them and all that. But when everyone starts saying "The endings were all the same, just a different color." it really bugs me. They were NOT all the same, only people who just watch the scenes and can't find any tangible differences say that. I mean, just because the cutscene shows a similar scene doesn't mean the choice you made doesn't have far reaching consequences.

I mean, sure, I guess if you have no imagination it's hell. But I actually struggled with the decision and was pleased with my ending.

What are these "tangible" differences that everyone seems to be missing? I've watched all of the endings (which is all three) at least four times. I'm not saying you're wrong, but having watched the endings multiple times, I really would like to see what you consider "tangible" so I can take them into consideration. I've played and imported since ME1, and absolutely nothing I did in those games mattered in ME3's ending.

And for a lot of people, imagination has nothing to do with it. Do you know why Halo 3's ending was so good, even for a cliffhanger? It's because at the end of the day, we ended up finishing the fight we started in the first game, we got to see what happened to all of the characters we came to know throughout the trilogy, and above all else, it had CLOSURE.

To me DAII wasn't good, but it's wasn't bad either. It was ok.
ME3 may have been Bioware's redemption to you, but to me it was just another Bioware game that I looked forward to and still enjoyed playing aside from a few things.

No game is perfect, they all have flaws, in really the flaws in the games I've played from Bioware, wasn't heart breaking.




I mean, I didn't hate the ending, I just don't like it. Each of the 3 ending types all have a reaction on the game.

So it's not like the endings was just endings. The ending wasn't finished, it wasn't creative, it doesn't give you a final option that's most important to gamers, which is their character living.

When I played the ending, I felt like nothing I say or do matters.(SPOILER) I can't save Anderson, I can't save myself, I can't save the relays, I can't get the Illusive Man on my side even with max paragon.

The last bits of 3 didn't seem like Mass Effect, it wont stop me from buying DLC or any other Bioware product, but the ending as a whole was a disappointing.

I agree with most of what you said, but go on the BioWare forums and tell me that ME3 wasn't BioWare's last chance to rinse the bad taste they left in everyone's mouth after DA2.

Here are just a few decisions they've made that the majority of the fans disliked: Everything about Dragon Age 2. Turned Mass Effect into another TPS. Mass Effect online passes. Chose to make TOR over KOTOR 3.

Simply put, the ME trilogy has sort of been BioWare's saving grace through all of this due to its massive universe. Yes, it's just another BioWare game, but imagine if BioWare only had TOR and the Dragon Age series . They would've sunk after DA2...

There's really no denying how BioWare has been on a downfall since EA took over. I mean before EA got involved we got masterpieces like BG, KOTOR, ME1, etc. Dragon Age and ME2 were good additions under EA. But they already destroyed the DA series with DA2 right off the bat. TOR is a WOW knockoff and is already being abandoned by gamers. ME3 was supposed to be BioWare's redemption. Sadly, all it brought was more backlash. BioWare crapped all over their brand in just 10 minutes with a conclusion to a trilogy that should've been one of the best of all time.

It was a reply to Amari's post.

Oh, my bad.

[InsaneBlaze23]

Then what did your post or the price of tea in China have to do with my Marauder Shields post?

I didn't even look at the twitter page or the video.

This was the last straw for me with BioEA, and I haven't even been able to play the darn game.

Freakin' face bug.

Well this isn't the last straw for me, because there was never a first straw.

I enjoyed every Bioware game I've played to date. Never had any issues until this ending, so this ending is the first straw.

I enjoyed everything about Mass Effect, enjoyed everything about Mass Effect 2(except planet scanning), enjoyed everything about Dragon Age(except my character no being able to talk), and I enjoyed most of the things about Dragon Age 2.

EA is another story, but really there is no escaping EA or a publisher like then or worst.

I don't care, the ending of the game isn't gonna stop me from buying other Bioware products, it's just makes me question them and any series ending.

Still gonna by whatever new series they announce or future ME game. Still gonna get Dragon Age 3.

The ending was bad, they said on facebook, twitter, and IGN that they are looking into it, they know people are upset about it. All anybody can do is suck it up in stop playing their games or suck it up and continue play their games.

Aww c'mon, you don't find Marauder Shields meme even a little funny?

His banter with Harbinger on twitter is fantastic!

SPOILER AHEAD

If there is one good thing that came from the ending, it is this:

They haven't planned on ANYTHING. BioWare is still keeping quiet and nothing about a new ending has been confirmed.

The way I see it, they have THREE options:

1. Leave the ending as is and risk no one buying any ME3 DLC and future BioWare games. *They're delusional if they think people will support their products after this*

2. Release new ending as DLC for free, admit to your mistake, and win back the loyalty of the fans.

3. Release new ending for $10, cash in (this is EA's bait), and then at least give the fans a good ending before they possibly stop buying your games.

Personally, I don't see them doing anything in regards to an improved ending. They've done nothing but rationalize (Casey Hudson especially) and there's evidence supporting how they wanted "speculation" of the ending above all else.

A Statement from Bioware.

I heard a rumor that it's pretty much all EA's fault, that the game was rushed, and they plan on making a 4th ending for free.

That's what I have been hearing too. At least they plan on fixing the problem. That was so dumb the way it all ended.
