Almost Seven years but still gives me goosebumps

[LightHOwUSE]

Over 120 thousand high quality replicas, over 200 powerfull music tracks, over 100 harismatic characters (c) Mass effect Trilogy. This masterpiece is the best of the best. Always on my mind and forever in my heart <3

I just scratched my ear and that decision had just as much consequence as the ones you mentioned in terms of the ending and overall story arc. None of those important decisions were reflected later on in a way that had any lasting impact in terms of gameplay or story. That is a overwhelmingly serious problem because it means those decisions do not matter. I really need to keep stressing though I am most mad that I DID listen to the devs and I was lied to regarding the way things turned out.

@JoeisProductions No everyone was alive after suicide mission in ME2.

[starcraftkris]

I'm not looking for entirely distinct endings though that might be interesting. One ending would be fine if choices made during the game affected it even in a minor way that mattered. I'm also asking that it not ruin the series story arc with plot holes. These are clear qualities of the ME2 ending. Side note: The current endings are not very dramatic. They are mostly horribly executed exposition. Also and again this is the most important thing, no one lied to me about how ME2 was going to end.

[starcraftkris]

It does suck the story was leaked. Ultimately though regardless of what happened it is Bioware's responsibility to release a quality product. If they truly thought the original ending was that awesome I doubt they would have changed it regardless of the leak.

[starcraftkris]

For all of you telling us to stop complaining about the ending (and the non effort to fix it correctly) I would just ask you to name one classic movie where the ending is as ridiculous as the one in ME3.

[UNDERWALLY]

The endings is brilliant. What the hell is wrong with everyone. I'm sure you all wanted a typical cliche ending (Like yoru beloved Halo or COD shit games), but Bioware is Genious. Delivered the most fantastic meta-ending in videogames history.

[LordSesshaku]

What im saying, is that compared with the story that we saw during ME1 and 2, the ending on ME3 was a huge letdown. That's my opinion on it, I don't think Bioware is "evil". I just think they were lazy and tried to make it a lot faster than they should have. The rest of the game was awesome, and the ending was just too...out of context, i didn't liked it at all. Too forced and limited with a lot of plotholes. The fixing just proves that, there were a lot of plotholes Bioware needed to fix,

[starcraftkris]

The majority are not satisfied. A poll on the bioware forums means nothing. The only people voting there are ones who continue to play. I'm glad they enjoy it but I know like a lot of true fans know that we were lied to and deserve better.

Quoting rock band Three Days Grace "This shit is overrated"

[SERIUSBF]

Lol at everyone jumping on the bandwagon saying the ending is shit, that's why there is multiple endings to begin with, you obviously didn't do everything needed to get the best one from the lot.

[starcraftkris]

If you havn't played it you cant understand why the "fix" isn't going to be enough. Yes, it's that bad.

[starcraftkris]

My advice: Stop trying to sound like you know what you're talking about. You said yourself you have not played the game. If you have something substantive to add to the discussion feel free. Calling me a child is getting old. The last hours are the most important part and are absolutely critical to the story. This is true of most story driven entertainment. If you cannot understand such a basic concept than I cannot help you.

Also, are you not aware that the original ending was leaked so they were forced to change it which EA rushed them in doing? And you think they lied to you? Grow up. And that, btw, is what I meant by 'what other people think of you'. I suggest you get over yourself and walk away now because, like I said before, I'm not letting this turn into another argument.

[jacknelson]

a lot of people bitch about the lack of choice, but c'mon. its the last game of the series, why do you need that much choice?

[starcraftkris]

Who is we? You're the only one who feels that way. Everyone here knows you are wrong. All you have done is troll. If you don't want to be called a troll then do what you just quoted. Add something, discuss something. I was called a child even though I made intelligent arguments. You get called a troll and what do you do? You keep trolling. Ya ok.

[someone]

Speak for yourself when you say "everybody" The whole game felt rushed and was nothing in comparison to mass effect 1 and 2. If I had my way I would make them start the entire game again from scratch.

[starcraftkris]

I will speak up until Bioware admits they are wrong and you admit you are a troll since you havn't played the game. I'd gladly have a serious discussion with you once you actually make a comment about the game. Unfortunately you havn't played it so you have nothing to talk about and just continue to troll.

U did an incredible job bioware good job :)
