Mass Effect 3 in space!

[Psychotic]

This whole game is a well-oiled money making machine, down to the token nod to IGN to boost review scores and thus sales, down to Day 1 DLC (800 smurfing points) for content already on the disc. From a business perspective I can only salute them for what they've done, it's a fantastic piece of work. However as a consumer, little bits and pieces like that leave a bad taste in the mouth. Still, the backlash over the ending is delicious schadenfreude so whatever

The Day 1 DLC (The Prothean) Was not on the disc, that much I can say on grounds of; The Download was over 600mb.

I don't understand...how many endings are there? Three or more?

The one I just got wasn't so much bad as it was inconclusive...I'm actually wondering if my console didn't just mess up...

(SPOILER)I chose to destroy all synthetic life, which killed me and destroyed the mass relays, then you see the Normandy going through one and start to get all tore up, then you see it sitting in a jungle, and the door beings to open and before you can see who's gonna come out BAM credits.

EDIT: I decided to be lazy and just watch the other endings on YouTube. Apparently I just made poor decisions that lead to that ending.

It is kind of a shame though, that of all the endings, none of them are really...ideal. But honestly, I do think people are blowing the "awfulness" of the ending way out of proportion. It's really not that bad. It's just a bummer.

The Prothean is the Day One DLC everyone is bitching about? Man I had to go walk to the store and buy some vidya game snacks to pass the time while that downloaded. When it's on the disc already it's done as soon as you buy it.

Wroooooooooooooooooooooong!

Requiem for EA/BioWare - YouTube

[Freya]

Yeah but what I've read is that if you do that there are missing things that glitch out in the campaign and whatnot. Stuff from that 600mb dl that if you don't have will mess your game up :/

[Psychotic]

Be that as it may, they still clearly designed the game with Javik in it and cut the content to charge money for it. Stop the Stockholm Syndrome already and just admit they are money making geniuses

All y'all watch this.

Mass Effect 3 Ending: Tasteful, Understated Nerdrage (SPOILERS) - YouTube

[Iceglow]

I saw the ending for the first time the other day and according to Paul made an unusual choice in the ending. I was pretty disappointed though and I agree with some of the comment videos on youtube, the one Huxley posted in particular. I would have given absolutely anything for an option where Shep simply rejects it all, calls through to Hackett with an apology, the crucible isn't going to be an option and that they'll have to win it the hard way before calling in Joker and the Normandy for an extraction so he can go, bleeding out, dying even to ram a rocket or even the Normandy herself down Harbinger's metal face.

Bioware and the great cupcake adventure! As i'm calling it anyway.



So the BSN fans sent bioware 402 cupcakes today. All flavored vanilla but just different colored frostings to represent the ending choices.



And biowares response? They didn't eat them! They gave em to a local youth shelter. But I think the fans got their message across heh

The funniest comment over on BSN to me was

Hey Bioware, you know what I find funny?

You’re being offered three colours to choose from, and using your own critical thinking you’ve made your own decision and said “We choose option #4″.

Giving Shepard that same choice would go a long way to showing you understand where this went wrong.

She's not hot. And I don't know why they let her be a voice on there. In an interview like a year ago she had said she didn't even know you could romance anyone in the ME games. How do you NOT know that? She seems to talk out of her ass a lot about games so I don't know why they put her in the game. They killed off Emily Wong just to put this stupid woman in the game as a nod to IGN so IGN would give them better reviews. I would have taken Emily Wong over her any day.

And it's not cause she's a woman, I hate when people say "oh it's cause she's a woman so you as a woman hate her" no I don't like her cause she's stupid. I'd hate her if it was a guy too.

But she did a good job in the voice acting, so none of your points are valid

[Freya]

She did a bad job at the voice acting! Did you play the same game I did, all her lines were flat!

[Loony BoB]

Aren't most reporters that way? Unless they emphasise every other word, which is just as bad.

You can't do a bad job at voice acting if you're voice acting someone who is basically you.

[Freya]

Apparently Chobot could!

[Loony BoB]

That's just because you don't like her voice.

Her voice acting was no worse than 90% of the other people in the game.
