ME3 GAF Poll
Answer the following:
- What color did you pick? R/G/B
- How do you feel about the ending? Like/Dislike/Hate/Neutral (Indifferent)
- Please describe why you feel this way.
- Are you indoctrinated (believe in the theory)? Yes/No

What other things can I ask?
Alright, since I'm bored I'll start do the stats-age thing and create a spreadsheet.
Answer the following:
- What color did you pick? Green. Then Red, because green isnt the right choice
- How do you feel about the ending? Like/Dislike/Hate/Neutral (Indifferent)
- I feel that they left it open to interpretation, because ending it on their own merits would be too difficult. This way they can waver any responsibility and put it as, "It's what you interpreted!" but it backfired. And a change or addition needs to be considered; just like Mass Effect: Deception.
- Are you indoctrinated (believe in the theory)? Yes/No
- In general will you buy ME3 DLC? Y/N
- Would you buy a revised interactive ending DLC? Y/N (Be honest, you probably would)
- Have you played previous ME games? Y/N
- In what order have you played the games? ME1, ME2, ME3 (plus the books)
What other things can I ask?
Alright, I guess I should build a thorough poll, before accepting responses.Should probably ask which games in the series the have played and in what order.
Updated my post.
I'll list you as hating.
In general will you buy ME3 DLC? Y/N
Would you buy a revised ending DLC? Y/N (Be honest, you probably would)
Heard a great point on "artistic integrity" and how it's not that big of a deal if problems need fixing. Answer: Mass Effect: Deception
Okay

I feel betrayed, lied to, my trust has been taken away, violated, and used.

I find it somewhat ironic that Patrick praised the ending to Lost because of its focus on the characters, when the ending of Mass Effect 3 eschews basically all of the character development you had done over the past five years in favor of a wedged in artistic statement. ME2 got it right-- while the ending was the culmination of that game's story, the device used to conclude that story was firmly centered on your crew. It balanced plot with character in a way that resonated with most of their fanbase. And by its very nature it could be either triumphant or tragic. You can clear the mission with your entire team intact, returning to the Normandy like McArthur to the Philipines, or you can suffer losses, and finish your mission at the expense of the characters you've grown close to for the preceeding 40 hours. And all of that is based on your choices. It works.
There's nothing like that in ME3. All of the character development, all of your emotional attachment to the cast is suddenly superceded by this whole new conflict that you have to make a snap judgment on. It betrays not only a lack of concern for player agency, but a failure on the part of the writer to understand what his game is even about.
The funny thing is we've heard nothing about any revisions to Deception even before ME3 came out. Just a blanket statement saying "we're listening and plan to fix it."
They probably can't say anything now, but I'd make a strong wager no revision's coming out for quite some time if at all.

Haven't read it yet. I don't think any amount of theorizing can rectify the outcome of the game.- In general will you buy ME3 DLC? Y/N
I'll be first in line, like the consumer whore that I am.- Would you buy a revised interactive ending DLC? Y/N

Yea, but it's funny that people keep discussing that art should not be changed for the viewer. When that was a clear incident where, "yea it should" and nobody seemed to have a problem with it.
Also, artist integrity IS NOT valid once you start charging for your work. It is only applied to those that do it freely.
Yep, how convenient that none of the people making the artist argument say anything about Deception, which was also full of plot holes, lore inconsistencies, and character defamation, was acknowledged by Bioware as being "necessary of a fix".
Of course, Deception's errors were a lot more blatant to a lot of people than ME3's apparently are, and wasn't written by Bioware themselves, so it's a lot easier for Bioware to 'write it off'.
I guess this should be enough.

Those same people/journalists who enjoy the ending, would probably not see anything wrong with Deception either. It's ok you are ignorant to the entire thing, just don't call us entitled when we are there correcting mistakes to the products you enjoy.
Also @another point. If they do announce something pretty close to done next friday, then it's obvious they've had this planned. I can't wait to see how this will go down!
I guess this should be enough.

Plotholes, an ending that does not fit the themes or lore within the rest of the series, my choices being invalidated, and lack of closure (to a point, some speculation is fine).

Its pretty obvious it was NOT intended, but it is still my "head-canon". I'll just imagine the rest since I'm supposed to imagine what happens after the ending we got anyways.- In general will you buy ME3 DLC? Y/N

Yeah, probably. Maybe I'll post it in the spoiler thread.You know to get an accurate sample you probably need to make a new thread a lot of people have stop coming into this one. Only the people who feel really strongly about it either way would be in here at this point.

Most differences really only revolve around Wrex.Wtf!?? You can kill Wrex in ME3?! Goddam, this game has so many differences. Makes the ending even more insane.

There are too many holes in the ending, lots of things don't make sense at all. Normandy suddenly flying off and what not. The whole starchild thing I didn't like at all, the getting all emo over the kid dying thing didn't work for me either. Insufficient closure. Space magic.

That scene is badass. 1 handed holding a shotgun at shepards head, holy shit! Anyone know if you can calm him down?My favorite part is how Wrex pimp-slaps Hawke.

It's complete nonsense/gibberish. Nothing the Catalyst says makes any sense, and the sequences that follow don't make any sense either. The ending seems to exist outside the Mass Effect universe that was described by the previous 2 games and most of 3.

I would have liked more nuanced endings, dependant on all your actions in the trilogy. As it stands, ME has no replay value.
