This is what Walters wanted from us though. He wanted LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE

Thanks for the laugh.

[hateradio]

I was hoping for Space Jesus and the Technicolor Dreamcoat in the title.

[IvanI]

So I'm readin Geoff Keighley' The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3.
Sorry if this is posted but...I'll just leave a sentence here:

"...In this case it's the trilogy that's ending and Casey Hudson doesn't want to be the guy who forgot to wrap up a plot line that fans want to see resolved."

oh man...this just hurts.

[Eggman]

Casey Hudson must have an alter ego.

[King of the Potato People]

The Illusive Man could have put up a bit more of a fight really.

[Riggs]

Safe moist as dudes.

We are cookie cutter mother fucker!

He was so careful to make sure minor plots weren't left unresolved that he forgot to check on the main fucking plot.

The Final Hours app pretty much was the revealing conclusion to all the speculation.

Unless that's a red herring for indoctrination by bioware to throw you off the trail and get you speculatin'.

I have no interest in playing this game, but I have to ask:

Is the backlash bigger than the one that occured with ME2?

not even close. ME3 backlash is HUGE

[Dresden]

It's bigger than God.

[GSR]

Yeah the squad selection was really disappointing coming off of ME2. I didn't mind to much as my team has always been Garrus and Tali. I mean, there are only... EDI, Liara and Vega that are certain right? Tali and Garrus can die in ME2 (or Tali in ME3), Ash/Kaiden can be refused access to the ship (or die protecting Udina? Not sure about this) and Javik is DLC.

Yeah, EDI/Liara/James are the only surefire squadmates (1 tech, 1 biotic, 1 combat). That said I didn't mind the ME3 crew that much, though I've never been much of a fan of Tali or Liara and James was pretty dull. Javik made up for it though. Love that guy, felt horrible when he said he was going to off himself when the war was over. Guess it doesn't matter now though, whoops.

I knew the ME2 cast was going to get shafted, but what I was really hoping for at least was that ME2 characters would be temporary squadmates for their missions, and perhaps depending on your actions you could bring some of them along to the final battle.

BUT DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE ASARI MATRIARCH WRITINGS YOU FOUND IN ME1?

Christ, yes. ME2 is still on it's 2nd OT. We're on our 2nd OT for the backlash alone.

By far. Sadly most were ok with the radical action shift that the second game took.

This is all over the internet and has made appearances on Fox News and CNN too. Not the websites...the actual channels.

hahaha oh wow



we all know quarians are humans with photoshopped fingers now, so I guess he had the last laugh.

What really? On TV? Man, I really hope I get into the PAX panel. That panel is going to be awesome.

The backlash started off bad and then it all came to a head last thursday when the ME3 forum on BSN got locked and Casey Hudson's wiki page got edited to hell and back. So yeah, a lot bigger.

[Zeitgeister]

Most people though ME2 was great. I respectfully (well, maybe not always with respect) disagree, but ultimately, I felt ME2 could be redeemed by its sequel, as did most people, eventually.

Which for 99% it did, and then some kid shows up and rainbows and shit happen.

Oh god, what the fuck am I reading? Why am I not laughing but filling with despair over the fate of the human race? Why can't I look away?! Why!?!?!?!

Glad to see this thread is still trucking on. May we reach OT3 safely.

There is no God only Vent Kid.

Actually yeah I did. I didn't want something like that to stay as busywork designed to extend a game's length. But I also didn't want those things to get in the way of the main plot. A normal studio would have fleshed both out.

What really? On TV? Man, I really hope I get into the PAX panel. That panel is going to be awesome.

Yeah I personally turned CNN on on Saturday and they were talking about it with their tech/game guy and all of the controversy this was causing. It was only like a 5 minute segment but he explained pretty clearly why so many were upset.

[Dresden]

HAHAHAHA OH WOW

Tali'vas Shitty apartment!

[Plissken]

I'm sure it's been said many times, but the ending would have been 100x better if they had just let Shepard activate the Crucible, have his talk with Anderson, die, and then just cut to the Red Space Magic ending where the Reapers are destroyed, cut to credits. No Catalyst bullshit, no Adam and Eve scene with Joker and whoever, just let Shepard sacrifice herself so the Reapers are dead, the end.

As for DLC changing the ending, I wouldn't hold my breath. Now that the game has multiplayer I see them going the CoD route, where we get 2-3 new N7/multiplayer maps every few months, with a new weapon or two thrown in for good measure.

[Eggman]

Does anyone have those BSN posts where members were acting as if this whole thing was a war? Those cracked me up.

One of the posts was kind of like "It's been 3 days and I'm exhausted. We've only been getting "thanks for the feedback" responses from Bioware. I still won't give up. Hold the line."

[heliosRAzi]

Hey do you know of any screen caps of the edited wiki? Would love to see that.

Hudson started his career as a Technical Artist, developing art solutions for video games at Bioware, on many games, including Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic. He became game director on Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire. His most recent psuedo-finished product, Mass Effect 3, had over 70 perfect 10/10 review scores - while the rest of the reviewers actually completed the game. His crowning achievement at Bioware was the utter destruction of the popular Mass Effect franchise. He is now viewed as a liar and a money-grabber by the rest of the gaming community. Promising not to make the Mass Effect trilogy end like A, B, C instead he took it upon himself to make it end like R, G, B." After almost 7 years at Bioware, Casey and his team started working on an all-new IP : Mass Effect. On GameInformer[1], he stated that after doing some licensed projects, his employer should make some brand new content for its fans. He then became the executive producer on the franchise, which became very successful. However, he decided to use space magic in the final installment in order to appeal to the wizards and witches.

Is it ok to make a webshop that sells licenced stuff in a different form? just, you know, asking..


btw:

would it really have been so hard to just add a few wires there?

[Cyborg771]

I just found something interesting (strongly from the indoctrination theory camp but w/e) when you're choosing between the three options in the catalyst the music apparently changes. The control and synthesis paths are sinister sounding but the destroy path sounds brighter and less dissident. Everything about the game is telling you that Destroy is the renegade option but music, the one non-diagetic element to the scene (since the HUD is gone at this point) is telling you the truth, that "red" is the best option.

Well I mean yea. It sucks that you have to murder all geth and edi too, but destroy is the best ending. Synthesis is akin to existential rape. You change EVERY single living thing in the galaxy into a half synthetic being, sparing the reapers despite how many genocides they've done. I doubt the Quarians would be too happy either since, in a sense, they're basically half of what their life long enemies are. Control is just...blargh.

seriously? this is ridiculous. The ending to a videogame would not be something that i would consider worthy of getting upset over. At this point it seems that people are just enjoying the memes though.

You should get upset over the ending. It's one of the most important parts of the story. If you don't end a story satisfyingly, you end up with, well, all of this.
