ME fans are some of the most devoted i've seen. this will not go away. and the memes are just incredible so far.
Other things that suck about the game:
Dream sequences
Squad selection
Planet scanning fetch quests
"[insert race] could really use [religious book] in these hard times, but it's lost on [insert planet]"
Now go through 5 loading screens to get it and bring it back. That's not fun.

Okay, so I wrote a wall post on the Mass Effect Facebook Page just outlining grievances and asking for a new ending; standard stuff.
The cool thing is I actually got a response:
Do you have a link to the post?

Yup. They shut down the Mass Effect universe. Without going back in time to do a prequel trilogy or jump the story 15,000 years in the future, there is nothing more they can do with the current story. There is no more "mass effect"
And no focus group on Earth would have wanted what we got. They thought they were being clever and artsy, only to really showcase what a bunch of hacks with money and ego can do to ruin nigh-universal goodwill.
...uh, oh. I'm moving back into the anger stage.

How in the world can you return a digital copy of a game?
Here ya go.
I edited that post though because it seems that the page is commenting back to most people saying similar things, so I'm assuming it's just PR saving face rather than them actually taking suggestions to fix the end.
@LegoArmo, those aren't dreams. That's hinting at indoctrination.
Unless the 360 version has such terrible textures, there's no way Vent Kid could have left his vent. Yet when Shepard looks away for two seconds, Vent Kid is no longer there.
If this game wins a GOTY I might just quit gaming. Awarding this game as GOTY only gives BioWare a reason to think they didn't make a mistake. All this complaining, campaigning, etc. to make BioWare realize how big of a mistake they made with this ending would be useless.
It would be like a real life Mass Effect.

Yeah the squad selection was really disappointing coming off of ME2. I didn't mind to much as my team has always been Garrus and Tali. I mean, there are only... EDI, Liara and Vega that are certain right? Tali and Garrus can die in ME2 (or Tali in ME3), Ash/Kaiden can be refused access to the ship (or die protecting Udina? Not sure about this) and Javik is DLC.
By focus group I guess I meant more like "design by committee" where you try to apply a democratic method to solve a problem when a pure vision would be much better off.
But people seem to be disagreeing with that point across the board so I retroactively retract it as my own wishful thinking.

EDIT: Browsing through the wall posts it seems that the page is actually commenting back to a lot of people. Not as awesome as I first thought
I sense some condescension in the response.

I think he can kill you. Don't worry if he does though, you can get the Crucible (and space kid) killed if you just wait/walk about long enough when you take the heaven elevator.

We can only hope. I wish they would just get Drew Karpyshyn back to finish it. Pay him whatever he wants.

Only thing I found strange was that there were no returning ME2 characters to add. And Vega really, really sucked.
But, honestly, this one didn't really bother me too much. I had Liara for every mission, and bounced between Garrus, EDI and Ashley. I would have filled the other slot with Wrex if possible.

Condensation?

I was thinking the same thing, it sounded more sarcastic like, "yeah whatever you say kid since we aren't going to listen to some random on the internet tell us how to do our jobs"
Garrus was in every mission for me. And the 2nd slot with Liara or EDI actually. I would overload, incinerate and slam enemies all at once.
So satisfying.

Yea he can kill you, I got distracted after I killed the Husk brothers talking to my gf about how sad I was that it was about to end and didn't even realize he popped out the first time till it was too late.

You know who I'd love to make wet? Tali.
No idea. I thought I saw someone mention Origin's accepting full refunds but it might have been a joke. I'm pretty tired after all.
It would be something I would entertain at least. I'm not sure if I can play it again anyway until the ending is fixed.

You got the best ending
How will it smell?

Ever have a cast? Multiply that fetid odor by your entire body, and never, ever take it off.
Yum.

So you can finally figure out what her sweat tastes like?
And what happened to your shocked Shep av? I know Louis CK is your original one, but I liked shocked Shep

I think he's referencing that super-creepy in depth essay some guy on a forum wrote about how Quarian perspiration would smell. He was doing like chemical analysis and stuff.
That was enough internet for me that day.

I know. Next time I will let him kill me, then I will stand up, go to my 360, turn it off and then go sit on my computer.

Haha I linked that thread to my gf who is also an mmo gamer. The reaction on her face was priceless. Especially with us playing SWTOR, we started to wonder if the people who put their companions in the dancers outfits do the same types of things.

I wouldn't mind the sweat. My horribly repulsive odor would probably dominate her sweat molecules in the air, so it's more like she's going to have to tolerate my smell.
In case anybody needs to see the depths of human desperation, here ya go.

I was surprised she had hair in her picture. I cant imagine what her hair would be like being trapped in that suit all the time, and I don't ever remember her talking about taking a shower.

Those suits have built in showers.

Bioware really sucks for not including lengthy conversations on Tali's showering procedure. It'd really engage me.

Wouldn't she just drown?

Nah, it's like some bacteria killing thingies in her suit. The same equivalent as showering.

Damn, I go to sleep and we're on OT2? And now Amazon AND Origin are offering refunds?
