[QUOTE=Sardonus;34935703]Reading over the ending theories and shit, the Endings sound VERY SIMILAR to [sp]Deus Ex 1[/sp] (Saying the game is a massive spoiler if you know the endings.)[/QUOTE]
except [sp]deus ex 1[/sp] had multiple endings
some of which were good and made sense
bioware took the worst ending and made it mandatory
[QUOTE=DX_V;34935658]Paying for a game that I have to make my own ending for because the base experience is that awful.
Worst case scenario seems like the nice way of putting that.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;34935648]Well they're definitely not outdated, so you can forget that one. As for there possibly being more endings...hell if I know.[/QUOTE]
All fair points. My childlike and moronic rationalization not withstanding, I'm still of the belief that the game itself will be great. That, if we play it through all the way, we can at least say that the experience was worth it. Though, that is more rationalization...
Maybe I should just finish watching the Deep Space Nine series finale, that'll take my mind off of this.

Uhh... [sp]Deus Ex 1 had all endings that buttfucked everybody.[/sp]
[sp]1.) JC denton controls the world. That's good for Denton I guess, but he does have full power of the world.[/sp]
[sp] 2.) JC destroys Area 51, eliminates the government, but plunges the world into Anarchy.[/sp]
[sp]3.) The Illumanit continue to rule over us all[/sp]

It's okay, I'll bury them soon enough. Right next to my denial about Chuck being over, this whole ME3 debacle, and my abandonment issues.

Hmm. It might have been a long time since I last played Deus Ex. I woulda been a 'wee shit
Nonetheless, I'm just saying it seems like ME3 is going for the "grimdark buttfucked endings"

that's the thing.
what's the point in having choices in a zero sum game where you always lose
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;34935545]How about we stop the Jennifer Hepler bullshit unless it's a legitimate criticism, hmm? She has NOTHING to do with the Mass Effect series.[/QUOTE]
It's not because we're saying Jennifer Hepler worked on the ME series, it's because of the fact Bioware's actually hiring people like Stanley Woo and Jennifer Hepler in the first place, or giving them positions of importance when they did just fine in a more minor role (Mac Walters and Hepler.)
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;34935889]that's the thing.

Interesting. The only way to win is not to play.
I wouldn't mind if one of the endings was a "grimdark" ending. But every one of them? Dumb.

That's really lame, Bioware.
my favorite moment in ME2, was after all the bullshit, all the struggles, the unholy Praetorian deathmatches, Shepards stride through the Normandy as everyone nods approvingly, [b]Because we did the impossible. We won.[/b]
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;34935027]I don't see what the big deal about the endings are, it's silly to go into something like the ME series expecting it to have a fuzzy happy ending.[/QUOTE]
[sp]
Because fans are attached to the franchise and the universe. BioWare in an effort to be both conclusive and edgy have exploded that pillar and allowed no room to get it back on track. Their "choice" of endings is not a choice at all, really. It's just as dumb as saying the huge deal at the end of DAO was HAHAHA I R GRORIOUS TROOR, U AM ARIVE AGAIN DIN DON BANNU.
It's like total emo, not only can you not save society (earth has to import food and is hella fucking overcrowded, basically the only colonies that can survive on their own are Eden Prime MAYBE and Mars.) It's just a blatant ripoff of Deus Ex and Star Control, with not even a nod TO THEIR OWN NARRATIVE. In addition the Normandy is fucked and so is Shepard. No one wins. Literally. They made half the endings they should have, and they expect everyone to suck it down and be their bitch. Apparently the answer is a resounding no.
You do not disrespect the people buying your product. If these were the BAD endings ONLY and the good endings were society surviving like say germany and britain at the end of WW2, people would not be apeshit right now, in fact they would probably be a fuckton of threads saying good job BW, can't wait for new ME. Right now it's pretty much the opposite. These people are writings themselves out of employment. Trust me, I've seen this happen.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Aperture fan;34935830]black bars everywhere[/QUOTE]
SCP foundation all over again. It's almost as bad as the time when [REDACTED] happened.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;34935550]Ooooohhh, it's that bad
Actually it's possibly worse, considering that the[sp] krogan will probably engage in bloody war on whatever planet they're on, completely annihilating the last remnants of society.
at least humanity survived in 40K[/sp][/QUOTE]
Looking on the bright side, [sp]There'll still be entire systems where civilization survived, since the only thing that was destroyed was rapid inter-galactic travel, not inter-stellar travel. the Exodus Nebula with Terra Nova and Eden Prime'll do just fine, for example.[/sp]
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;34935610]The game's already done. They're now just waiting for the XBox & PS3 approval process to allow the game to be sold.
[i]These are quite possibly [b]final[/b].[/i][/QUOTE]
Certification has been done for a month.
i haven't read any of the spoilers but from what i gather is that ME3 has a really grim ending
sounds good to me, i always hoped that ME would have a bad end, pretty bored with 'and they all lived happily ever after' endings

Not to mention that all these files are coming from copies of the digital deluxe edition.

[sp] The destroy ending destroys all reaper tech. Aren't mass effect drives based off of reaper tech? Also, the geth get an upgrade from the reapers so they're gone too, according to that guy on SA.[/sp]

They just single-handedly fucked their entire careers. When the game releases it's going to become the laughing stock of the video game community, possibly almost as bad as Duke Nukem Forever was.
Of course, [i]if[/i] they roll out with (only) these endings.

Well, there's a difference between an ending that's bad and an ending that can be considered disrespectful. It's possible that the bulk of the game more than makes up for the endings we're hearing about but man, Bioware is probably going to be in for some flak on this one.
[QUOTE=Hamsterjuice;34935974]sounds good to me[/QUOTE]
It wouldn't if you read/watched it and knew what you were talking about.

So I'm not the only person who thinks they're taking another page out of Star Control 2.
