Mass Effect: Thread

[BTGBullseye]

The game itself is extremely good. Beats out ME2, and I would say is on-par with ME1.

Confirmed 'better ending' screenshot.

I saw one guy complaining about the ending, and he used this image.

 

 

 

 

Made me laugh.

 

On another topic, I saw a few posts back someone (I think it was BTG) saying that ME3 beats ME2 and is par with ME1... I think ME3 is quite epic, and there are a few sequences that are truly amazing, but if you ask me, ME2 (with all DLCs installed) takes the crown in the trilogy. Then ME3, followed closely by ME1.

 

EDIT: the guys over at Alienware Arena are giving away for free codes to redeem an M-90 Indra Sniper Rifle for Mass Effect 3. Get yours while it's hot!

The internet just got more awesome. A bunch of disgruntled fans dissatisfied with the ending are doing something differnt, sending Bioware cupcakes. Vanilla cupcakes in blue, red, and green, marked A, B, and C. I KNOW YOU FEEL THIS. Forbes even covered it. IF I HAVE TO TEAR YOU APART PASTRIES, I WILL.

If this is what you get for a bad ending then I'm gonna start making games. I know what Wrex would say what to do with the cupcakes...

[Arby]

On an unrelated note, favorite Wrex line? I still love, "If we all die in here Shepard, I'm gonna kill you."

[Martin]

"They're fools! You should eat them!"

[BTGBullseye]

There are just too many good Wrex lines... I can't pick one!

[Pinkie Pie]

"Sterile white. Protheans sure build things, homey."

[Husker]

"I still don't get a window like Liara but I suppose I don't kiss as well"

[Pinkie Pie]

So I gave in and played Mass Effect 3, anyway regardless of face importation. Like, 10 minutes ago.

 

That ending.

 

I'm not disappointed...but I wouldn't call it the greatest ending ever either...

 

I'll add more or something once I get my thoughts processed...I'm still confused...

 

I will say though, Mass Effect 3 is probably my favorite game ever, regardless of the ending. I've never been more invested, and felt more sad when people die, or happy when good things happen, than this game. It is amazing. Except the last 10 minutes which I'm still wrapping my head around.

I'll just leave this here.

So a Reaper travelled back to this decade, got its parents to fall in love so it wouldn't cease to exist, then started singing in its Reaper langauge at their high school dance, the cousin of the guy who invented dubstep overheard it, called said cousin, and said he had found that new "sound" he was looking for. And that's where dubstep comes from.

[Pinkie Pie]

I knew it. I always said dubstep was the work of the devil. Now I just replace devil with devil(s)

 

So, to better make sense of the ending I've chosen to follow the Indoctrination Theory. Also, this is a game spoiler

That does makes more sense IMO, its not because of the major fuck-ups at the end, its the way they keep pointing their own fuck-ups and rubbing it in your face.

 

But even if the indoctrination theory is correct, Bioware didnt finish the story like they had promised and if they release it as a DLC its gonna be one of the biggest dick moves on the gaming industry so far. So yeah, i cant see a happy ending to this

[Alyxx Thorne]

Eh, people are making way too big of a deal out of this.

[Pinkie Pie]

I agree, but when you compare the indoctrination theory to taking the ending at face value, the theory actually makes the actual ending WORSE because it shows why all this stuff happened at these times. You'll understand when you play it.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I sure hope BioWare plan to explain the ending at some point. But I do like the mystery, and I love how much stir it has caused. XD
