Just another example of something unfinished in this game. There are tons of things like this. Game was rushed.

I would disagree, if anything I would probably say Synthesis is the worst option out of the three, but that is just my opinion lol.
They are just options depending on how much you did in the game, I look at the fact that they give you the Destruction ending first regardless of what you do up to that point seems to me that it is more likely the default ending they were going for.
And you need 4000+ EMS to get the Shepard lives clip IIRC, so I don't see why it would be any more of an easter egg than the Synthesis ending is if we are going by EMS scores.
Maybe Bioware shouldn't have had a few people spend like 9 months getting Kinect functionality sorted instead of actual game content, lol.

What a waste of flesh.
She really should say nothing at all. The fact that she is included in a video game is pretty bad on it's own.

Of course she's defending it, she's in it. That being said, it's dumb of her to defend it especially since she hasn't even seen it yet.

Would tell her to go fuck herself, but she seems to be doing that already. Or about to.

Wow. Getting tired of IGN attacks. Do they want readers?
Still interesting though that the paragon colored ending is the bad ending. I always found that throughout the three games most renegade options were the most logical ones, but ymmv. Although personally I think they didn't mean it as paragon/renegade color coding, but that they just used the colors so that the user could connect the cutscene with the correct path.

that scene was so terrible that I just denied her, and never saw her again. at least they didn't force her into anything.
What a joke.

Can IGN be banned now?
The Paragon ending being labelled "BadA" says nothing about the Renegade ending being good. Quite the contrary, actually.
Considering she is in the game and works for a game site that would be reviewing said game, and hasn't even finished it, she should shut her mouth about any of it.
I consider my cats to have a more valid opinions that her on the subject, at least they have seen the ending.

Cool wedding photos as done by Instagram. From that angle it looks like the groom is eating her face.

The one thing to keep in mind about her is she doesn't necessarily always represent IGN. She's a contractor; that's how she does stuff for G4 and things. She's freelance, she doesn't work for IGN full time. Like the whole her in ME3 thing - they probably had nothing to do with it. I almost feel bad for them over that specific issue.

It's easy to forget when she does it over her IGN blog.
I didn't mean to say it was, I meant that oftentimes paragon seemed like the wrong move.
Someone give that man a medal!
Why should you? They contract her, as you say yourself. It's not like they catch freelancers like you would catch a cold.
I love how the gaming media was absolutely silent about her being there. I mean, I know they probably just think it's bad form to bad mouth a colleague, but it's like no one sees anything wrong with her being in the game. What? Mass Effect featured in their April's fools joke as well? Yeah, there's nothing sketchy going on in there at all.
Gonna log in there just to upvote it, lol.

I still think Control is the 'best' ending. If Starchild tells the truth then you are now in control of the reapers meaning you can help repair the relays (because I assume you have reaper knowledge and all that) and can help the galaxy and then, when everything is all nice, go back to dark space and make the reapers kill each other. It might not be the most moral (what with taking control of a sentient race) but it's better than green where you rewrite the entire galaxies DNA with out them knowing or having a say in it. Also, the reapers were gonna kill you all anyway.

Emily Wong drove her space car into a Reaper.
If only she knew there were bigger fish to fry.

They cannot afford to call people out. You don't shit where you eat.
Then why is she grinning at me next to an IGN Prime ad? Whether she likes it or not, she's the face of numerous information outlets. More casual Xbox gamers may describe her as the "Xbox girl" though she probably doesn't even get a 1099 from Microsoft.
For me, she's an Internet personality that led to her getting a cameo in a game she enjoys playing. She's also poor at delivering lines in-character.
It's never stopped anyone from writing about something they don't know.
lol Jessica chobot commenting on games, like me commenting on proper procedure to breach a terrorist strong hold.
To be fair to Jessica (oh yeah white knight mode), you can be pretty sure she's gotten massive amounts of hate the last few months by people who hardly ever played the game either.
God I wished people just stopped labeling most of us that are upset about the ending to be "entitled". I think the majority of people (included me) are just voicing our opinion about a crappy conclusion to a great series and not trying to force Bioware to change it. At worst, just incites anger on the fanbase that is paying your salary.
Jeff Gerstmann has definitely commented that he found the whole thing kind of sleazy.
I think the entitled quote is more directed towards people that do demand it changed "retake mass effect" and all that, as if it was ever theirs.

As someone else put into perspective, it's hard to believe BioWare had the time to write, model, texture, animate, record, mix and program in a throw away, forgettable character based on a game journalist for IGN, but were unable to design and model a 3D face for Tali.
BioWare's priority management was evidently up the shit, but come on. There's no way the above happened without EA/BioWare's marketing decision getting it's chubby, greasy fingers deep in the game's design.

I can hope
Wow, the comments are a bloodbath. I really does amaze me that ANYONE at Bioware thought it was a good idea to bring Chobot on. Her character is pointless (Jilani and Wong were already established) and her "acting" is the worst in the series. Chobot is the Star Wars Kinect of the ME universe.

Diana Allers is pretty much my least favorite character ever in a video game. The voice acting is bad, and not even a bad that you can appreciate in an ironic or charming way. Her character model just reminds me of that Snooky girl, and she always sounded bored out of her mind.
Heck, I would have loved to had Jilani come on the ship, because at least I could respect her a little at the end of her arc in ME3.

On a brighter note, the track that plays during the ending is phenomenally powerful.

Love it.
We know that, but a good majority of the gaming media has seemingly correlated entitlement to anyone who didn't enjoy the ending at all. It's all they report on and it's insulting.
It really is.
Everytime I've been accused of simply wanting a happy ending, I try to make a childish point of them being fooled by this music.
What a piece of trash. I love how she hasn't even beaten the game but has the nerve to call out the fanbase. What the fuck happened to not biting the hand that feeds you? Maybe she should go whore herself out more by licking other inanimate objects and get into a different industry.
