I can't find the specific tweet, but the trend seems to be going in the direction of "We know you're all angry, but we're listening and we promise we have something in store for you guys."

Yeah, every single thing I say, do or think is wrong. I'm always wrong. I've never been right in my entire life.

And don't give me that "fanwank" crap. The whole point of the series was to figure out a way to stop the Reapers. But now when everybody actually wants/expects to defeat the damned things there's 4 or 5 guys like you that call it fanwank. We don't need stupid words like "fanwank", we just need an ending that doesn't make us feel like we totally wasted all our time. Quote:

NONE of the Mass Effect 3 endings involve "all life in the galaxy being destroyed." That's what happens if you DON'T make a choice. If you got the idea "all life in the galaxy" was destroyed in the endings, then you either completely misunderstood them or weren't paying a lick of attention.

I could see a paragon Shepard telling the catalyst he's not playing his game. He just walks off, goes to the window and radios the whole fleet. Gives a heroic inspiring speech and then sits down to watch all his choices come to fruition. If you saved the rachni millions of rachni start swarming the Reapers and crawling inside them and wrecking havok in them. If the Batarians joined you squads of Batarian saboteurs infiltrate Reapers and drop off nukes. If you saved the Destiny Ascension it rips the Reapers a new one with its main cannon while the Geth provide defense for it. If the Geth and Quarians are both there their combined fleets overwhelm the Reapers. If you did all the mineral quests in ME1 The Alliance has a surplus of materials and can repair their ships and ground vehicles quicker. If you did all your squadmates loyalty quests you see a montage of them fighting and winning. You see a bunch of Spectres holding off whole armies of Husks on their own. The STG hijacks some Reapers and turns them on the others. The companies on Noveria if you helped them give the fleets new advanced weapons. Synthetic Insights uploads a virus into the Reapers that disrupts them for a few seconds. ExoGeni shows up with advanced Prothean weapons. Binary Helix shows up with bio weapons that start eating the Reapers organic parts. And if you made enough right choices the Reapers retreat.
Now THAT'S^ what I'm talkin about! Fanwank my ass! THIS^ is what the ending was supposed to be like. THIS^ is what all your decisions were supposed to lead up to. THIS^ is the ending everybody wanted & was expecting. I'm really sick & tired of the tiny handful of people trying to defend the shitty endings Bioware gave us. JUST STOP ALREADY! Nobody likes the endings. Just accept it. Everybody hates the Mass Effect 3 endings. We're all pissed & depressed over them. Just accept it already & STFU. Stop trying to make sense out of them. Nobody understands them. So just give up, you're not going to get anywhere. Just accept the fact that the endings were totally stupid. Wanting an ending that is satisfying, happy & makes sense isn't fanwank, it's the right way to end the series. It's what we all wanted. Last edited by Steelgrave; 03-13-2012 at 10:57 PM.. |

I am not convinced BioWare at large is. EDIT: Reading on later in that thread, I'm reminded that he is PR guy. He's paid to lie through his teeth, even if it's not what the rest of the team means.

As much as I hate to break the subject, has anyone tried out Multiplayer yet?
I'm very pleased with how much it's improved over the demo, although I do run into a bug from time to time where an enemy wave will end but another will fail to start. Still haven't gotten any new weapons since I got my starter pack (Incisor), which sucks. Yeah, it has a lot of bugs. Just this morning I ran into the issue you mentioned, the wave ended but nothing happened. My team left the mission & all I could do was quit & start a new one. I also have a huge problem with the Krogan's heavy melee. Sometimes it hits but when I'm in a frantic life or death situation it usually slides right past the character I'm trying to hit & I get shot in the back & killed. They need to patch it so it will lock on. Save your credits for the Spectre packs. That's where you get the good stuff. The Veteran pack is hit or miss. And the Recruit pack is mostly to stock up on medigel & missile launchers. I don't bother with the weapons, most of them are too damn heavy. I only carry 1 pistol so my powers will recharge really fast. I only use the Arc Pistol. It fires as fast as an assault rifle, has high damage but it's nice & light. And you can charge it up for more damage. it also sounds really cool. I love this pistol! Last edited by Steelgrave; 03-13-2012 at 11:19 PM.. |

The only way to defeat the Reapers is by having the entire galaxy unite. I'd call that a pretty big threat. In Star Wars everybody considered the empire a huge threat & it was eventually taken down by a small group of rebels & the the Emperor was tossed down a shaft by ONE guy. In Mass Effect the entire galaxy has to unite. If we got a happy ending nobody in their right mind would say the Reapers weren't a threat. The whole point of uniting all the fleets of the galaxy is BIG GUNS! We need big guns & a lot of them. Why else would we need massive fleets of ships if not for their big guns?

ALL of the ending outrage everywhere amounts to "I don't get it!?! WTF just happened? I was playing Mass Effect for the past 5 years but in the last 10 minutes it switched to some other completely different game. What happened to Mass Effect??? What happened to all the choices I made over the past 5 years? Where did my Mass Effect game go? What the hell is this crap????????????"
Quote:
No, not all life, just most of it. ALL of the mass relays explode. Did you play Arrival? Did you see what happened to the Batarians when the mass relay was destroyed? Did you see the rings around the explosions on the galaxy map? It's pretty safe to assume not much survived when all of them lit up at the same time.
Quote:
And then after the credits we can go talk to Kasumi, Wrex, Grunt, Jack, Miranda, Samara & anybody else that survived. Shepard doesn't have to die in the really really good ending.
Now THAT'S^ what I'm talkin about! Fanwank my ass! THIS^ is what the ending was supposed to be like. THIS^ is what all your decisions were supposed to lead up to. THIS^ is the ending everybody wanted & was expecting. Quote:

Well, almost your entire paragraph is wrong: No, wanting an ending that is satisfying, happy, and makes sense isn't fanwank. Turning around and making one up is, particularly when it starts tearing apart the basic premise of the threat ("We'll just shoot the reapers till they die! Only this time magically they won't kill a couple dozen of our ships for every ONE of theirs we kill!"). It's just like the "Indoctrination" theory that people are pushing. It's fine to not like the endings. It's bullshit that they "cookie cuttered" them and that they don't give us any indication of what happens to the galaxy afterwards (besides "life continues" in some form and Shepard becomes a legend). It's disappointing that your choices throughout the series don't affect the actual endgame much. However, getting upset because you didn't get to go down to the Volus city and sing "Yub-Yub" with all your friends at the end is silly, shallow criticism. This was never really that kind of series.

Glad to see you've finally seen the truth. Maybe now you can start working on doing something about it.
Maybe you missed Mass Effect 1, or maybe you're just living in a delusional world of selective memory (given your continual errors even on basic facts of the CURRENT game I'm not surprised you can't remember factual details of two games earlier), but last time I checked, it took a huge combined armada of multiple fleets to kill ONE Reaper, and that armada took heavy losses. But suddenly a bigger armada is going to be able to kill hundreds/thousands of them with no problem? Riiiiight. Sovereign (who wasn't even the most powerful Reaper) showed us all flat-out that trying to fight the Reapers head-to-head is doomed to failure. Full stop. Yeah, my continual errors of the game. I don't know anything about Mass Effect. The mass relays didn't explode in the same manner as they did in Arrival? Oh, well isn't that convenient? They established in Arrival what would happen if a mass relay exploded. But in ME3 that's all different now. We'll just have all the mass relays get destroyed for no apparent reason, we'll show the same shockwave ring on the galaxy map but anybody that assumes they destroyed any nearby planets like it did in Arrival is a complete idiot. Right? And then we'll stick Joker & EDI on some unknown planet in some unknown location & call it a day. Just drop it right there & roll the credits. And we'll never explain exactly why or how Joker & the Normandy were jumping through the mass relays in the first place. And then to top it all off we'll stick the members that were on your team when you got hit by the Reaper beam on the Normandy. And all of that will make perfect sense to a superior intellect like Jmacq1 while it totally confuses the shit out of everybody else on the planet. So I guess the Normandy was supposed to be at the head of the fleet but all of a sudden Joker decided to take a little trip with absolutely no explanation? And you understand that? Nobody else knows how we ended up with the Normandy jumping through the relays but I supposed it all makes perfect sense to you? Sure it makes perfect to someone like you! You see? If you're not a total idiot like Steelgrave & paid attention to the previous games you'd know that Joker has a brittle bone disease. He needs to take special medication that he can only get on the farthest edge of the Terminus Systems. This brittle bone disease acts up when he gets too close to the Turian fleet. He had a reaction & needed to drop the attack on the Citadel & make an emergency jump to a Geth station in the Perseus Veil because everybody knows Geth are the only ones that can cure brittle bones. But before he took his little trip, he swooped down to Earth, right in front of the Reaper that had just blasted Shepard, picked up EDI, Liara & the rest of the members of your team & then jumped through the mass relay. And if anybody has a problem with it we'll just say it was all just a dream. Then we'll stick a stock photo from off the internet after the credits & make up some shit about a grandfather telling his grandson a story about "the shepherd" to really confuse everybody & make it stupid as hell. But everybody will know exactly what's going on except for Steelgrave because Jmacq1 thinks Steelgrave is a complete idiot. None of the Mass Effect fans will be outraged & confused except for Steelgrave cuz he's an idiot that didn't pay attention to the 1st 2 games & has no memory whatsoever. We'll just change everything around & everybody will understand it except for poor old Steelgrave because he's a complete idiot. Ok, seriously now, if you understand the endings so perfectly clear, then explain to all of us exactly what Joker was doing. Where was he going? Why was he the only ship jumping through the relays? And how did your team members from the surface get on board the Normandy. Why wasn't the Normandy attacking the Citadel with the rest of the fleets? Nobody knows the answers to these questions but I assume you do since you're so much smarter than the rest of us & think you're in a position to insult the living shit out other people. So go ahead, enlighten us. Where was Joker going??? Mass Effect fans all over the planet want to know. You said everything makes perfect sense to you so go ahead, make sense out of it for the rest of us. Because we're all stupid as rocks compared to you. That says more about them... Quote:
You don't speak for "everyone." Ergo, your entire paragraph here is wrong. As usual. Hell the fact that you can't seem to understand that I don't like the endings either should've told me this is a pointless endeavor. The difference being I don't have any problem understanding the ending, even if I don't care for the lack of closure it brings.

Jmacq, Steelgrave, can you please not rip each other to pieces out here? I'd rather not see this thread get locked down due to a flame war.
