Out of Pod Experience

They just pretty much said how much they changed the endings to destroy everything. Indoctrination was an idea, but laziness prevailed and they massacred it to hell.
To make sure you dont see your teammates die, we will magically teleport them to Normandy, that will be using the relay to run away from the fight for no apparent reason whatsoever.

Its amazing because you really had to TRY to ruin mass effect. At worst, people were expecting a tragic ending, or a generic good ending. This was like, effort. Phantom menace style effort.

You really did.

Let's consider 6 unique endings with small clips added/removed due to previous and current game choises.

With those, and then an epilogue you're looking at an additional 4 minutes of unique high end cinematics and a series of artwork stills plus text.

What's that add up to in dev costs? Barely six figures? A quarter mil being generous. They made how many millions on release day and plan on fleecing a fanbase that is so pissed I doubt they but into it anywhere near their projections.

To go on a bit of a tangent on that last point, I'm never much for the whole flash in a pan eBoycott, but if there was ever an appropiate time for one this would be it.

They got lazy and said "frak it, we got their money. phone it in and call it a day"

Let's try to think outside the box for a moment, many of us have been caught up in the reality and many imagned solutions.

Here is game X.
Game X has advertised xx different endings based on your game decisions.
Game X makes one ending in different colors.

What grade crak do you have to be smoking to think this is the way to finish a 6 year epic trilogy?

**** bioware. **** EA. I'm on a boycott of one. Feel free to join me.
Not only that. I'll be going out of my way to obtain their games in ways that do not involve me paying them money, and I'll pledge to insure that anyone I know that might play their games obtain them in the same way I do.

Have fun with my cash bioware. It's the last.
And to those there that gave a damn and tried their best, I'm sorry, but just like is possible in any busines, the guys in the suit shafted your life's work just to trim the budget a bit (into their pockets. that's exactly what management/ executive bonuses are made of).

Top-Down development always culminates to this. True art and creativity mix with business goals like oil and water. All the most successful and ******** managers always forget to respect that. Don't let the management pollute the innovation and vision.

The whole thing is kinda funny. I mean we knew EA would turn Bioware into a husk of what it was. But no one expected such a "if there is a worst time to do this, this would be it" move out of their management.

If what I expect will happen happens, it is what they call "SH****NG THE MONEY BED". They loaded, took aim and shot themselves in the foot.

"hey, let's just totally screw over the fan base and tell them "you didn't need to know" and "it's edgy and cool and it's too bad you don't get it"

^^You can't spin that. You ****** up bioware, big time.

It's like trying to spin crapping your pants.
"you guys just don't understand it, crapping your pants is cool. it makes you think"

Well, the fleet fight shows us they can destroy a reaper, it takes a lot of fire but they can take one down....then you look at them fire. its a complete FFA, who is calling targets, primary and so on, nope, just shoot and let god sort it out.

On the crucible issue, they activate it so they dont have to hunt every reaper ship and ground unit in the galaxy for next few hundred years. Still, pointless to comment on crap they did, pure disaster.

Our hero, our protector....our dark knight.

Oh yeah, I remember that its been awhile since I've been willing to play the game, but even so, you'd think some engineers and geth would go "Hmm maybe if we researched a weapon that would work against that weakness we could take them down one by one?" I still find it pretty ridiculous.

I believe it when I see it.

Welcome to the club. They did manage to really put in a effort to completely destroy ME universe.
And i was under impression that CCP screws things up, but Bioware really went to the next level.

Heh, i did score 36h on my first (and only) play, explored every nook and cranny in the universe. Still didn't find 2 ship models for my room, maybe they are in NG+.
Dialogs are a sign of Mac Walters writing potential...meaning, crappy.
Shooting range is awesome, you can test weapons and customizations before you go to the mission, and save yourself the time cursing stupid rifle that doesn't do crap.

Why cant you play ME1?

There is another ship model to be found down the stairs at Engineering, where Jack used to sit around in ME2.

Also, I found plenty in the shops on the Citadel.

I too like to search every nook and cranny for Weapons, Upgrades and Data Pads.

There is indeed more than plenty Ammo to be found.

Also, I started an Adept yesterday. Much to my dismay (sort of) I can use Sniper and Assault Rifles and Shotguns...

There are a lot more models in the stores as well as the ones you find around the ship, you can also find your Hamster (if you had one in ME2) at the lowest section of engineering. It runs past as you enter the area.
