Oh, FFS. I've never seen such whining by the dudebro set.
What an awful post. This has nothing to do with that dreadful meme, nor is it "whining".

Damn. I've never played these games and yet, there's such a gripe for a video game ending.
I gotta understand this. Why isn't there some youtube video hat explains the whole thing?
I've been there long enough to know that this happened in the beginning/middle of OT1, it became a mess later.Well if whining is breaking every part of the ending and lore down to analyze it and discuss why the ending pisses all over their own established lore, then yeah we've done a lot of whining.
It's more like a support group because every day or two we get more people who just finished entering and going WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!?!??!.
Read the thread title again. Over the top, you say?I didn't say that people weren't whining, just that the righteous indignation and feeling the need to protect Bioware's artistic vision/honor/whatever is getting a bit over the top.
I will fight you.
I'm all for the maximum number of hyperboles but this is just silly.
Yes, the ending is bad, yes it's doesn't make any sense and goes against everything ME is about. But it doesn't "ruin" a series. Every single moment from ME1-ME2 and ME3 are still great.
Let's be serious here.
Actually it is. It is about 95% ending, and is at about 23,000 posts.
What an awful post.
tell me a great moment that in the end,had any impact?
curing the genophage for example?
Oh, FFS. I've never seen such whining by the dudebro set.
Gaming media sure does have a lot of contempt for their audience.
It pretty much is.
Man, some people are really touchy about this. Sorry you didn't get what you wanted.
It's funny the people that fart out these types of posts 9 times out of 10 haven't played the game.HOLY SHIT
did this ending kill everyone's dog or something? It's making me want to play a Mass Effect game...
...nah fuck that.
Seriously, there is nothing 'dudebro' about this, both the controversy and Mass Effect in general. It's not a dudebro game.Have you seen the Bioware forums?
There is so much talk about this pair, and that pair, that pretty much disqualify them from being called dudebros.
The only romance for a dudebro is a bromance, brah.
I don't know. I've only played the first game, but reading about the ending doesn't make me want to bother with the rest of the series. Then again, the writing in first game alone doesn't make me want to bother with the rest of the series.I'm all for the maximum number of hyperboles but this is just silly.

It's a good thing. $80k for charity is wonderful.

Is nobody else upset that, largely because of the hostility of the gaming media that a charity is effectively saying no thanks to tends of thousands of dollars in donations?
Bioware doesn't have to do anything. They put out a piece of shit, the vast majority of people hate it. A lot of people want and have asked them to fix it. A very small minority have decided to vent their displeasure by giving money to a cause related to something they are interested in.
But that Charity has apparently gotten so much hate from people who think Bioware's Artistic integrity is some untouchable thing that they are saying fuck it, we're out. I ask again, is it the fans who are entitled here?
At what point do some of you settle down for a bit and wait to see what Bioware actually does? It takes a bit of time to do these things, and they said they're going to do something about it. There'll likely be some sort of explanation at the very least or DLC at the very most. Chill out, breathe a little, and wait and see.
That said, I suppose I can't complain about people needing to chill out if them not chilling out means charity gets money. So, I suppose, whatever. Have fun
dudebro entitled whiners

This is pretty awesome. No matter what insults people and journalists have thrown at them, the fan base has at least show it's willing to throw money to a great cause to make themselves heard. It's really hard to criticize this without looking like a dick but it'll be interesting to see people try.
Mass Effect is a "dudebro" game?

Game journalism has always been quite odd and a joke. But lately it's been getting worse, I'm not sure why -- maybe they feel they aren't being heard as much, so they have to keep up the absurdity?Holy fuck why is that Destructoid article so awful? Gaming journalism is such a fucking joke. Why is it so hard to find websites that cover an event like this without looking like they are corporate shills who are afraid of making their masters angry?
Good thing I got my info about the ME3 ending from GAF.

Well, people can't donate to the charity anymore, at least through RetakeME3 drive as, Child's Play is no longer taking donations from it. Due to hate mail form people thinking that Child's Play supported or was affiliated with the movement, which simply isn't the case.
MGS4 doesn't need fixing though. The ending was perfect to me. Let me qualify that by saying I have only played all the way through MGS4 and have played bits and pieces of the other games. Sort of like the majority of the people asking what's the problem with the ME3 ending.Someone start a cause to "fix" MGS2 and 4.
I'll donate.
and of course the money going to charity is a good thing. There are not good things happening because of this though.

Is it ok to hate the ending and still think that the reaction to it is completely ridiculous? Cause that is pretty much what I think. I mean it is wonderful that people are donating to charity, but this whole 'Take Back Mass Effect 3' idea is so ridiculous to me. And Marauder Shields is the worst thing ever.
Marauder Shields is fucking awesome and is the true hero of the series. Also I think the reaction is very ridiculous, but that's not a bad thing. It's lead to $80000 to charity.Is it ok to hate the ending and still think that the reaction to it is completely ridiculous? Cause that is pretty much what I think.
