I think it loses its power after a while because it plays during the multicolor space magic scenes. It ruins the gravity after you watch them all a few times.

Damn hateradio. How are you always on here!? ... and you say you aren't indoctrinated.
Wow, EA made it to the final round against Bank of America for the worst company in America. I definitely don't agree with that, but this is the internet.

This isn't over Mass Effect is it? I realize there's always been a hate for EA, but over BoA? Give me a break.

BoA is WAY worse than EA. EA didn't help cause a housing market crisis/crash.
It's not that at all.
Yep. Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned. BoA has some of the most anti-consumer practices out there and make EA look like saints in comparison.
I'm just so baffled EA can even be considered to be in the same tier as BoA. It's like a bunch of kids are deciding this.

The cognitive dissonance I experienced when Joker walked off the Normandy and Faunts started to play was insane. The music makes it feel awesome but it is also completely terrible and I don't understand how this is happening.
I didn't even know who was playing her, and I turned her down when she asked aboard the Normandy. Her voice acting was so bad, I didn't want to risk hearing it again.
What advantages were there to having her on board?
Welcome to the internet. Not everyone is from America.
It's just a poll. What's really baffling are the people freaking out about the idea of EA taking it when the honest truth is neither company will honestly give a shit about it.
That's not how it works. Yes, you COULD do that. But if you want to go faster you need to keep expending fuel.
It isn't? It sure isn't obvious if it's supposed to be bad.
Red kills an entire sentient race I just devoted hours to saving.
Green removes choice from EVERYTHING IN THE GALAXY and turns them into weird who knows what the fucks.
Blue is unethical, but it only screws with my enemies. Seems good to me.
Actually no, not to derail the thread but if I wasn't on Neogaf or Reddit, the BoA thing would have been quite unknown to me. Yes, I would have known that the housing market collapse, but not the specifics.
Really, that's how you're going to twist it? My response is more of a comment on how people see these companies rather than if they will actually be affected.
One man having so much power just doesn't sit right with me. The game depicted the Reapers as practically invincible and here Shepard is, commanding their fleet. I was thinking more in the lines that absolute power will eventually corrupt a person.
I was LTTP because I was on holiday when the game fell on my mat, and because of that I neglected all the furore in the early weeks, afraid of getting spoilered. Now reading back, I see that Hudson did say:
That means that, whether the ending was indoctrination or not, i.e. whether it was cut out or not, at least the telltale signs for indoctrination were not coincidental.

Wow, that's just.. wow.

Why is Paypal or Apple are considered bad companies ? I always though they had great public image ?
I was just making a remark based on the responses I saw from that thread. Didn't mean to twist anything that you said.
I think the the fact that Apple basically uses slave labour to make their devices is the reason they would be on this list.
Fair enough. I don't come to the gaming side to get outraged about things that actually matter, I'm going to go ahead and drop anything I said.

Every once in a while (I think twice total), she'll ask you for an interview up in your room. It's basically the same reporter stuff from ME1/ME2, but just with that lady from IGN instead. I believe it can raise your reputation, as well as add some points to your EMS, depending on what you say about certain groups/situations.

Then why Google ? I can't understand this list... It just looks like a " major us company " list. Anyway, I'll go in the dedicated topic
Thanks. Sounds like I didn't miss anything major.
Not to derail this further, but I think the entire "had a role in contributing to a global recession" factor doesn't really put things in BoA's favor either.
Sure, I don't disagree with that at all, I simply disagree with the notion that it's clearly the 'bad' choice, they're all bad, I chose to sacrifice myself rather than everyone else.

I think that's a sensible position. Of the three choices, you picked the one that only affects you and the reapers (plus gets rid of the relays, same as the other endings).
So sad that there isn't a best option. Just ones where we can argue which is least shitty.
Google has been under some scrutiny because of how much personal information they actually keep on you, based on previous search results, and how this information is used to display advertisements to you. I also believe that they pay next to no tax in the US, which is not exactly a 'good' thing either.
Paypal has a monopoly, their claims process in unfriendly/inconsistent and they will freeze/remove funds at a whim. Getting money back after having an issue is usually a long and arduous process.

Use of GAF is not equated to indoctrination, luckily.
That's what you think.
Wow, that was really fast. I guess she should think before writing some kind of bullshit post. :|

What a coward.
Wise though, for someone who (correct me if I'm wrong) gets by on being a pretty face that plays video games. Alienating the fan base is a bad move.

It probably got that far because of ME3 ending backlash which is pretty stupid as there are worst/more evil companies on that list.

Can someone get the cache?
It got that far because it's 'tournament' driven by an online poll. Not worth spending much thought on.
Doesn't surprise me that it's being spread around like it's news though.
Just finished the game. Like most people I hated the ending. But I have to say, that the climactic parts, where you're alone up in space with Earth and the accompanying destruction going on in the background, was really well done. Really did a great job of making you feel like the hero of your own epic adventure. Too bad the ending was 'wtf'.
Though, to be quite honest, I found the entire Crucible/Catalyst idea to be vague and silly from the beginning but went along with it. The kid is just plain annoying, though.

The game has writing, models, textures, animations and recording for dozens of forgettable characters, the IGN reporter being just another one. The Tali thing smacks of Bioware changing their minds about revealing her face late in development, it's a stretch to link these two things together.

It doesn't have 3D scanned faces or custom made bodies and outfits for most of those throwaway characters.

Is her post even worth getting upset over? Just ignore that kind of junk.

I think that's part of the reason some people are pissed. Right up to the last 5 minutes or so, Mass Effect 3 felt like the best in the series to me. I was loving it...and then the end. yikes.
