Bioware DID commit false advertising.

Belive it or not there have been pettier claims of the same charge.


Yeah, this'll make those evil corporations think twice before making video games for all to enjoy! j/k

This does seem like a slippery slope thing though. First Bioware, then it will be Bethesda for bugs, then Sega for implying their next Sonic game is anything other than rotten goblin feces, then pretty soon Nintendo will get sued because Mario's jump feels too loose.

Everything I've read points to the ME3 ending being as bad as it's made out to be, so I honestly sympathize with how the fans are reacting. You really have to have invested years of your life into something to understand where they're coming from; this happened to me and LOST.

The indoctrination theory is interesting but it's likely just fans grasping at straws, hoping for something better. I actually think that a lot of the stuff pointed out by the theory is very suspicious, and part of me does think that there's something to it. But then I don't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed.

The Bioware fanbase can be pretty bad sometimes, but I still think the Sonic fanbase is worse.

The vast majority of ME fans aren't all that bad, though.

I haven't even finished ME1, but I heard that the ME3 ending doesn't give you any kind "this is what garrus did and this is what happened to tali" kind of thing. Which makes all the choices you make throughout the series, which have been cool and impactful up until then.... meaningless.


That'd suck!

Why you so upset broski?

They can talk about it. Hell, I still talk about how Lost's ending sucked. However, most normal people would accept that it was a crappy ending and just sit with their disappointment.

However, Mass Effect fans are evidently doing whatever they can to get an intended ending changed because they can't accept that the ending to their game franchise was terrible. All of the dumb crap like donating so they can get a new ending, lawsuits, written letters, etc to try and get Bioware to change the ending is, well, ridiculous.

It's a phase. Tons of time drained into an ultimately trivial story will do that to a fanbase. But they have every right to complain for the time being, and who knows? They may succeed in getting Bioware to do something about it. Initiation never hurt.

Now, if this same kind of behavior is going on six months from now, when Bioware has been adamant about not changing the story? Then I'm all on your side of things.

I have accepted it. I'm hoping Bioware will accept how disappointed the fanbase is and give us a better one. They're already frantically working on DLC anyway. Do right by their fans.

The mass effect story was never the best thing in the world, so I don't really understand all this disappointment.

I guess when you can bang someone in the game you get strangely tied to them in real life.

Eh, not gonna fight you or anything, but as I've said, ME3's ending is the single most disappointing thing I've ever experienced as a gamer. It's the only series I've ever played where the saga actually ends (still haven't played MGS4), and unlike MGS, Mass Effect was all about the trilogy from the very beginning. It was known to be a trilogy with everyone knowing that the third game would end it, so anticipation was huge among fans. After 4+ years and hundreds of gameplay hours invested into the series, I just felt so empty when it ended. So yeah, I'd pay Bioware some decent coin to correct that feeling.
