Without the theory we would only have ME3's shitty ending. I'm all for straws lulz

There is a possibility that "content initiatives" will help solve some of the issues people have with the ending.

Be interesting to see what will happen if the ending problems people have get fixed with paid for DLC.

A post I liked.

TBH Deus Ex and Skyrim were half expected. Mass Effect is getting criticism because they almost created one of the greatest story driven game series in history. If they had nailed this ending then every time a mediocre game comes out we'd tell the authors to look at Mass Effect to see how to do it right.

We all expected Deus Ex to flop. I don't know of a single community member who thought that was going to be anything other than childhood memory destruction. Then it comes out as a good game. Our expectations were low and were exceeded dramatically.

TES always has crap plot lines. It is wandering around going "ooooh, where does this door go!" that makes TES great.

Mass Effect is held to a higher standard in story telling because it set a higher standard. If it was mediocre nobody would care about the ending. Annoyingly ME3 sets extraordinary standards and then it feels like the ending was from a different game.

They have made a very good game, don't get me wrong. If you only care loosely about the story line then ME3 is an excellent game. They almost made the example though. Something that people would talk about like FF7 or Torment. It was harder to fail than succeed going into that last 10 minutes but they pulled off the remarkable.

I had been wondering about the indoctrinated idea, particularly after choosing the "red" ending and its unique content.

I love the multiplayer on this game other than people seem to like kicking out my Vanguards and Adepts after I get the high score in a game. >>

Guess I'll put this here. It's an odd tie-in.

Ultros is cool though.

I had no idea Liara's VA also did Lightning's dub in FFXIII; who was my favorite dub voice of that game.

Glad I stuck with her as my LI.

I received an N7 Valiant in my multiplayer commendation pack. What did everyone else get? Just be sure to check the multiplayer store before Tuesday.

I missed the silver run last weekend, sadly. The victory pack gave me a geth pulse rifle though.

I got a new version of one of my pistols. The one that's basically a modified version of the basic pistol, don't remember the name.

Looks like Alienware has a give away for an exclusive sniper rifle it seems. Requires signing up for Alienware Arena though whatever that is. Thought I would post this in case any of the PC players were curious:

Whelp, I acquired the game for the PC through various means, enjoyed 99% of the main game as it was FANTASTIC.

Then I got to the ending,

Naah, it's fine. It happens.
Personally, I liked the ending. I didn't like how I was railroaded into decisions, and I wasn't a fan of the lack of closure for my crew overall, but it was still a fun game. Maybe it helped that I considered ME3 the actual "end" and not just the ending of ME3 to be "the end."

I finally beat it, and am mad. Not "give me my money back" mad; people complaining like that need to pull the sticks from their assholes and realize that 10 terrible minutes in an otherwise amazing 40 hour game is not a betrayal of their trust. But I do feel that this did not resolve the plot in a satisfactory manner, especially as far as it relates to your partners in crime.

Spoiler: click to toggle


So yeah. I'm mad. I wanted the Reapers addressed in the ending, but the personal, emotional aspect of it was far more important to me. I needed at least an epilogue to feel good about what happened, and I didn't get it. I initially wanted to replay all three games to see what I could do different, but this has basically made me put down the games for good at this point. I'll play whatever DLC epilogue Bioware releases for it in the hopes it'll improve my opinion, but right now I just don't even want to look at the game any more. Overall, yes, I loved the 40 hours I spent with it. But the final ten minutes made me not want to come back again.

I was impressed that not killing

I have to ask, what was Kasumi's quest because I got to meet everyone from my past games but hers, and I have no idea where she appeared.
