WHAT AM I READING
Don't. He is referring to Bioware's initial plans for the ending via the app, not fan speculation.

Well action only does dialog right? So no matter what you need to walk towards the ending.
You should be reading his tag

It's because he's right and you're entitled.
You can't spell ignominiousness without IGN.

Oh yeah, well I'm going to start a petition.
Are you aware of his, say, ideological background? It's not his smugness that bothers me, it's how wrong he is about everything.

No, I don't follow IGN. Only heard about this guy during the whole debacle.

Yeah. It's off-topic, so I won't mention it again, but I think 99.9% of GAF would vehemently disagree with his positions.

Most definitely. Every once in a while, you'll find a hardcore nerd gamer who subscribed to the Tea Party mindset.
That's why I said that. Why don't people have a personal twitter for their unfiltered bullshit and a more presentable one for conducting business and such?

What the fuck. I just finished the game and I don't even really understand if my ending was positive or not. I'm just sorry that I've been missing out on this thread till now, seems far more interesting the Revenge of Shit Mountain in SPACE!

That has to be a coincidence. If I remember right that guy was some guy who extorting the whole town. Even if it wasn't a coincidence it wouldn't have been as an insult to him.

I'm pretty sure everyone who does a playthrough of ME3 will think something along these lines the first time they see the ending. An ending that jarringly bad deserves some sort of special achievement reward because it managed to take away discussion from the rest of ME3 which as it turned out was a pretty sweet game.

So Im listening to the pcgamer podcast about the whole controversy. So many errors in what theyre talking about with the ending and theyre still misconstruing the criticism and leaning totally on the happy ending argument. So frustrating. Cmon Gary, youre a screenwriter.
Of course, theyre using the petition as their strawman to argue against.
You know Im seeing a commonality between all these journalist. They all fucked up the Rannoch mission.
Edit: okay, props for them for actually calling out all the journalists calling everyone entitled.

Quite. His write-up was no better. I like Gary, but it doesn't make him right.

The thing with Gary is that once he's made up his mind about something, there's no point in arguing with him.
Like anything involving Apple, for example.

I was thinking where have I heard this name before.
I accidentally blew him up.
That's the only thing I think about when I see that name.
I actually stopped playing that game though.

One of the things that kill me is that I really don't want to play through this game again. After that ending, I don't think I'll be buying any dlc either. Oh btw, I finished ME2 five times. ME2 one of the best games this generation.

Shit, my Shepard developed a real drinking problem during ME2. Every fucking time he was at Omega, he'd get drunk. Every time he visited Kasumi, he'd get drunk. Every time he was at the bar in Ilium, he'd get wasted and the matriarch would try to seduce him. Every time he visited the Dark Star Lounge, yep, you guessed it. He even downed a bottle of krogan Rincol. He got so drunk that Miranda refused to give him dat ass.
And then she's barely around in ME3. Time to get wasted at Purgatory, Shepard.
So I just finished it.
What. The ACTUAL. FUCK.
How the fuck did Liara, who was in my Squad when we all got near-vaporized, get into the Normandy? Why the FUCK was Joker in FTL space? If Liara, Joker, and Javik (WTF?) were the only ones who stepped out of the ship, implying they make a new race? Even if true, why the hell were the people in the post-credits cutscene HUMAN? They'd be Asari, as that's how Asari repopulation works...
Jesus fucking christ, that was awful.

Unfortunately the cargo hold or wherever was crushed instantly when the Normandy crashed. Oh well.
on my second play through with my paragon import from ME3 and I'm pissed....apparently tali died in ME2 only I had literally know aknowledgement of this and consequently i couldn't save both the geth and the quarians! which i couldn't do on my first play through because I was renegading that shit 
so the the quarians are dead for the second time that sucks so bad.

By the way, someone here mentioned fighting Collectors would be pretty cool for MP, and I agree. And apparently, not all the Collectors appear to have been destroyed, too...
This is the Codex entry for the "Miracle at Palaven", which you get after completing the first quarian mission, apparently. I only read it for the first time yesterday.
I suppose they could mean Seeker swarms with that, but I guess it means that there are still some Collectors alive. Probably.

If anything, the ending is cynical, not us. I loved the game, and the series whole-heartedly up until the very last few moments. If I'm cynical, the ending has made me that way.
Like that 40-minute analysis vid posted the other day noted, Bioware, with ME3's ending has turned most of us from
this Fry
into this Fry
In regards to the future of the series (and the company itself).

I am starting to think we should be legally allowed to choose someone to nip down to Edmonton and slap whatever git is running their twitter feed :-
It is no longer "cute" or "mysterious" it is now just getting damn annoying.

I was reading on another forum that there was different ending planned written by Drew Kapyshan (spelling?) that had something to do with dark matter? It was apperantly hinted at during the quarian campaign in ME 2.
Also for those of you that read that thred when ME 3's story leaked I remember bioware saying they were changing the story because of the leak. Does anyome remember if those spoilers were a different story?

They're just going to put in the content that they should have the first time. We already know that they recorded Joker's lines about coming in to pick everyone up.
Most of the spoilers in the very first leak, the one that got us hit by the C&D order, was either exactly the same or extremely similar to what we got. I remember telling people who wanted to know in PMs how ridiculous it was, but I happened to forget all about it until I finished and saw the endings. It made me remember my initial reaction to the leak which was basically "Shepard can become a reaper? Is this shit serious?"
