So, read page 205, I wouldn't even mind not knowing their origin, but they had the space kid in anyway, so you should have an investigate option. It's just stupid to think Shepard wouldn't want to question him more.
LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE - the very last line written on a sheet of notebook paper that discusses the outline for the ending of Mass Effect 3. This was taken from the iOS app "The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3" ($2.99)
"The Truth" DLC - just ignore this piece of 4chan garbage.
The panel should consist of Walters and Hudson only
I don't think they'll cancel, they'll just send their community managers instead of developers.
Keep in mind that there's also going to be a Dragon Age panel.
Seriously, they obviously don't have anything planned and they have to know it's going to be flooded by the most enraged fans. I would avoid that panel like the plague of I worked for BioWare.

Man, I go to sleep and the next day it's even worse. How is this possible.
Oh my. Best voice acting ever.

Yeah, it's amazing how worse things got in a week
This thing reminds me of that diagram of the Flux Capacitor that Doc Brown drew on toilet paper

That is fucking amazing. When people started targeting that one lady did they get locked?

I like how they handled basically every character except Morinth. Having her write some random ass emails and then seeing her pop up as a Banshee in a random ass enemy wave was a bit disrespectful. Also would have liked it if some of the characters from ME2 were at least semi in your party like Anderson at the beginning of the game.

This is beyond their comprehensive. They exsist because we allow it.

Are you retarded? It's how games are made, it's a robot voice for a reason. All dialogue starts out this way so they can plan out and not invest resources into something they are still testing with.
Talk about a dumb comment.

Guessing the first question will be a planted one about the ending, so they can "talk about it" right off the bat and then not take any more questions about it because it has already been discussed.
Please keep your anger at Bioware and relax.

So that's that then. Amazing how they could botch it so badly. But but but they had the entire trilogy planned out from the beginning! And here this guy is scribbling notes on how to end the game. lol
It depends what happens when this is all over. It seems like every day it gets a little worse as more details come out.
If they actually release a much better ending via DLC it'll probably end up being #1 on the list, because it'll be the only fan induced mass-raging that actually accomplished something.

And that actually worked in theory; the Bioware Diagram...not so much.

I've honestly have never seen anything like it.
Closest I can think of was FFXIII on the 360, but that was a console wars meltdown. I've never seen a reaction to a game's ending like this.

What's strange about this is that there is mostly mass (heh) consensus here.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of people like or are fine with the ending and they are perfectly within their rights to be so, but I'd say the vast, vast majority sees it as terrible.

I think this surpassed any video gaming benchmarks long ago. I can't remember any instance where 98% of gamers hate a video game ending.
Jesus Christ, you mad bro?
The iOS app "The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3" ($2.99 - what a bargain!)
At least the line "a lot of debate" indicates that *some* people at Bioware didn't like the ending. I would have liked to see how the last months of development must have been for the ones disagreeing with the scribbled notepad ending for a multi-million franchise.

Nope, what's done is done and nothing is going to make me forget that.
This we can agree on, but Walters definitely deserves some ridicule so I can't say I'm surprised the BSN has been partially locked down.
Geoff Keighley's Final Hours of Mass Effect 3 app. Basically, he had insider access to the development of the game, and it's an accounting of what went on.
You'd think people would pick up that it was obviously deleted very early in the process hence why it is missing everything from the VA, music, and sound effects. That said I can see why it was deleted. That random SAVE US line was just awkward.

I'm not angry with Bioware, I really enjoyed my ride with ME3 and I don't regret playing it.
Do I wish the ending was different? Absolutely. But the moments I spent with this series during this generation are some of my favorite gaming memories ever. Period.
Why would I shit on them for that?
I'm fine with criticisms of the games, but when people here start launching personal attacks at the hardworking folks at Bioware, I'm not okay with it. Have some damn respect, just because you are anonymous on the internet doesn't give you the right to act like a child.
