The fanbase are throwing Bioware a [B]massive[/B] bone here though, the [sp]indoc[/sp] theory explains [I]everything[/I] and would heal BW's reputation and fix their game - unless they had planned that theory all along which judging by the official twitter is quite a possibility.
[QUOTE=Ghost101;35221067]I didn't want to [sp]kill the Geth off, especially not after allying them and the Quarians. But I didn't trust the Reapers and wanted them gone. It felt like I was completing the mission I'd been given all the way back in ME1 when I blew it all up. [/sp][/QUOTE] Which is why it sucks, it forced you to do something totally against Shepard's paragon character, to get rid of the reapers for good. Just didn't make any sense.
[QUOTE=superdeluxe;35220994]So you just commit [sp]mass genocide?[/sp][/QUOTE] That's if the kid is even telling the truth. Plus, I just made [sp]TIM commit suicide while convincing him that Control is the wrong way to handle it, and I convinced Saren to kill himself in ME1 when he wanted Synthesis.[/sp] [editline]20th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=superdeluxe;35221139]Which is why it sucks, it forced you to do something totally against Shepard's paragon character, to get rid of the reapers for good.

You do it on Rannoch when you [sp]Sacrifice those quarian crew members to save Koris, so he can in turn lead the civilian fleet and it will sustain less casualties. And that was Paragon.[/sp]

They should have added a cutscene if the Reapers catch you while scanning, something dramatic showing everyone dying. Instead of just CRITICAL MISSION FAILURE.

I hate it when good devs go bad.

BioWare's generated such a loyal and forgiving fanbase, they're getting an opportunity no other developer would have ever gotten (except maybe Valve), but I don't think they understand just what that means, which is pretty sad.

Mass Effect 3 Classes Overview: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI6C7LDrUWk[/url]
I figured this would be the best place to ask this. Now, I haven't finished Mass Effect 2 yet or started on Mass Effect 3. Maybe because of that I don't understand this, but does anyone else see this huge debacle about the ending is just a lot of stupid nerd rage? People are actually raising money to get the ending changed, people are saying they are done with the franchise/Bioware as a whole because of the ending, and are even requesting refunds under the plea of "false advertising." And the false advertising thing is about saying, "You promised us a good game and it wasn't," even though they all enjoyed the game apart from the ending (and what makes less sense is that a "good game" is subjective). It just seems a little immature and a jerkoff move really. It's as if the game/franchise as a whole doesn't mean anything to these people. All that effort, money, and time put into making the gameplay fun and everything and people are demanding money back and yelling at these people for a bad ending?
So, Dragon Age 2 expansion got canceled for "other opportunities". Not getting my hopes up, but I wish it has something to do with the ME3 outrage.
Taking the ending to the FTC is terrible. The ending was not that bad...

They did say the endings would be the exact opposite of what they were though.
[QUOTE=superdeluxe;35221465]There is a difference [sp]You are killing a entire civilization, rather than just sacrificing some ships to save the race kind of situation [/sp][/QUOTE] Yeah, which is where I was hoping some resistance from Shepard would come in instead of just choosing one of these three "solutions".
[QUOTE=Spool;35221509]So, Dragon Age 2 expansion got canceled for "other opportunities". Not getting my hopes up, but I wish it has something to do with the ME3 outrage.[/QUOTE] Eh. DAII DLC was okay-ish and actually improved on original game a fair bit, so hopefully we'll get similar quality here (barring the "okay-ish" ofc).
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;35221493]It's as if the game/franchise as a whole doesn't mean anything to these people.[/QUOTE] Actually it's the complete opposite. They're doing all this because they don't want to see a franchise that they love end like this.
hey guys the ending wasn't very good

[/QUOTE] Its not nerdrage honestly, I showed my wife, who could care less about games, all the lies about the endings from Mike Gamble, Walter and Hudson, then showed her the endings, and she was like 'wtf, so they basically lied'. Yeah.
So I gotta wonder, Who thought giving the phantoms a hand-pistol that nearly hits all the damn time, has long range and kills within 3 shots was a good idea? This is nearly as bad as a group of banshees, so many times I have died because of a single phantom shot.

The more I re-watch the endings, the more I hope they're going to be re-done. I mean, even if all the narrative and logical inconsistencies post-[sp]Harbinger blast[/sp] are ignored, the actual endings are just...jesus. [sp]Everyone's fucked regardless, and in the 'best' ending, you're alive, at the cost of both genocide, and killing your best friend's love. I mean fuck.[/sp] I know, I know this has been done to death. I'm more curious than anything as to how BioWare managed to fuck up such a critical part of the game this badly.

So, uh, why can't we get facepaint for Turians, it is kinda weird that there isn't an option for it, considering it's really important.
Kaidan would tap that sexy Shepard [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/523781927440971994/A077D7D6B8EA4003BCEBD98F9CC555D2AA12957E/[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Zeos;35222192]So, uh, why can't we get facepaint for Turians, it is kinda weird that there isn't an option for it, considering it's really important.[/QUOTE] That's what I was thinking when I saw there was only an option for skin tone. Since barefaced Turians are considered untrustworthy by other Turians, considering how Turians like Saren and the Purgatory Warden were both barefaced.
[QUOTE=Zeos;35222192]So, uh, why can't we get facepaint for Turians, it is kinda weird that there isn't an option for it, considering it's really important.[/QUOTE] Yeah, they really do need an option for it, especially considering Turians without facepaint are considered not trustworthy [b] fucking ninja'd damn you blooperrrrrr[/b]
Oh and, I know it's been posted before, but if you still want to get the Idra, there are a ton of keys left. [url]http://www.alienwarearena.com/giveaway/mass-effect-3-giveaway[/url]
