Subject: Why arent you guys still raging over ME3's ending?

Nah we're busy raging about Halo 4.


You disgust me. Your hatred is aimed at the wrong direction.
not really at least ME3 ended in a way where they couldn't hash out a direct sequel(using shepard), in contrast halo 4's plot ends with some kind of wishy washy magic cortana pulls out of her ass to continue the story and it all smacks of terrible writing to me.

and don't just point at the books and say that explain everything because no other series i've ever seen has pulled that BS.

deej pls

I am also mad that Reach didn't follow book canon, because it's fun to complain about stuff after no one cares.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Mass Effect wasn't your life-savings, wasn't it?

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Because the other 99% of the game was still fun and still is.

I have never played a single Mass Effect game ever, for one. Also, I know that the ending(s) can't be as bad as the entirety of Halo 4.

  • 12.13.2012 10:06 PM PDT

I'm not raging because I came to terms with the fact that Bioware just doesn't want Mass Effect 3 to fit in with the rest of the series. I learned this when the Extended Cut came out and removed the consequences of Shepard's final decision, thereby taking out the only redeeming thing about the final 10 minutes of the trilogy. Complaining more won't make it any less repulsive.

Because frankly my dear, Bioware doesn't give a damn.


That's about it. I could continue spending my time -blam!-ing up a storm, but what will it accomplish? I won't feel any better, just angry all over again. Bioware isn't going back to re-fix their ending. So while I hated the ending with a passion, and still do, actively being angry about it doesn't accomplish anything.

It surely was weird and I can understand why some people would hate it, but eh, I can live with it

You do know the extended cut did show consequences of Shepard's final decision and they made it so you can refuse to do any of the options?

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

This. The extended cut was honestly exactly what should have been there in the first place. Bioware employees have openly stated that they were rushed so badly by EA and forced to keep an extremely open ending to assure more games could be made. They rectified their error, so they don't deserve hate any longer. Though if you want to get nit picky I have a whole folder of ME3 errors, but we discussed all that when it was pertinent. The game has been out for almost a year now.

No, we should stop complaining like little kids over something that happened quite awhile ago.

No flood. We should still be raging about this until bioware's next game.


Why waste your time? They wpnt change it.

Too busy enjoying Halo 4 because it is a great game.

Edit: I should stay on topic. I didn't actually find the ending too bad. I thought the destroy ending was pretty decent.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

This. And it was a while ago.

I think I worded it wrong.

This is gonna be spoilery, so if any of you actually want to experience Space Magic for yourself, sail your eyes north. In the original Space Magic, it's heavily implied that the mass relays are destroyed. We saw in Arrival that when a relay explodes, it takes out the star system it's in. By choosing to go through with it, you decided that ending the Reapers' cycle was worth sacrificing everyone in the galaxy, everybody you formed a bond with over the trilogy, every single place you visited in your journey, the very possibility of galactic civilization ever returning to the way it was. You ended it all so that the next group of species wouldn't have the Reaper threat looming on the horizon. That gave an enormous weight to your decision. In Space Magic 2, the relays and everyone in them are just fine. That big consequence that made your decision truly matter just evaporates because Bioware thought we wanted a happier ending instead of a better ending. Some people might have, but there's no way in hell that taking that away improved anything about it in my opinion. The refusal ending felt tacked on and rushed as a big middle-finger to the people who disagreed with Space Magic. It could have been truly great if it showed all your friends and allies being overcome and defeated because you were too stubborn to take the only opportunity to save the galaxy. Instead, it just fades away and we have the same scene from the original, only this time implying that Liara's black box gave the next cycle the time ours didn't. Completely detached from the emotion it could have had.

me neither. Shepard sacrificed herself / himself for the fate of the universe. Sounds legit to me.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

I was dissatisfied, but to me it certainly wasn't rage material.

Death to rank junkies.

Because the leech known as EA has taken hold of BioWare and is draining it of every last ounce of life before killing it.
