Any ready meal that claims to have pepper or be spicy is about as mouthwatering as the cardboard box it came in. :(

Chances are the box is the more nutritious of the 2 anyways. :wacko:

In the angry nerds' defense, the end of the game was pretty terrible.

THIS, I have heard this so much with regards to these situations.

Eh, I'm not sure what people wanted ME to finish, Space Jesus and whatnot :wacko: but for the decisions that my character took across the games, I did like it.
Plus, no ending would have made people happy I guess, the journey to the end was the most memorable thing, IMO.

That said, I thought that making a fundraiser to force Bioware to make another ending is...well, I won't say it, but who will decide what the ending will be? Angry, outraged fans? BSN freaks? Common people? If we're going to have a shitty ending at least I'd want the game writer to come up with it because it's his work, not the collective thinking of several rabid people.

Not any longer. I kinda quit the weed game when I moved to a country which will give the death penalty for possession. Hence why I spend most of my weekends in Malaysia. Shhh...

My problem wasn't so much with the ending, I actually kind one of them. My problem was the mechanism in which they chose to deliver the endings, it was very deus ex machina, no pun intended. That and the fact that there was very little closure in the end, would go into more detail, but I don't want to spoil it for the people who haven't played it. The poor sods. :wacko:

That said, I gotta say something. I don't recall a game developer getting so much amounts of hatred in all of my gaming history. To me, ME was an enjoyable franchise with fun moments, interesting story and whatnot. Game of the generation? Absolutely not, but I will remember it fondly in the following years, but it seems to me that either you like the game, or you get absorbed in a spiral of hatred, insane outrage and extreme weirdness for a Quarian. :wacko:

Okay then.

Spoiler warning:

Halo 3 had a similar ending with the "Wake up, John" thing and everyone was OOOOHH AAAGEHAHHAHEH OMG ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME BEST GAME EVUR, and maybe it's because I'm not too fond of Halo or something. The "Shepard lives" seconds after the ending strongly suggest that a new DLC (yes, yes :P) will expand the endstory about finding Shepard. I'd like that, but then again, Bioware/EA are kinda burned in the gaming community for DLC. Even if it's post-release support, it will be taken as "should have been on the disk already" situation :P

Good, you're neutral. That's some rare thing to see. :wacko: I'm okay with people not liking Mass Effect at all, but I seriously stopped being concerned and now I laugh at people who devote so much energy at hating the ME machine. And I mean, a whole shitload of hate energy.

Yeah, EA/Bioware are kind of notorious for their DLC shenanigans.

As far as the endings go I don't think people should be allow to complain about the actual endings, that is 100% a creative choice that only Bioware can really decide on. No amount of endings can satisfy everyone.

Mass Effect spoilers:

Spoiler warning:

My problem is with this: Once the end of the game is all said and done, there is very little information (none at all, really) about what the fuck happens to all of the other races in the galaxy, are the fleets stuck hovering around earth? Does everyone die in the resulting mass relay explosions like in ME2: Arrival? Or are they just in a giant galactic tea party? What the fuck.

Spoiler warning:

IIRC, mass relays were a bridge to instantly move to other space systems, they seemed to create a black hole (that Joker was trying to get away from) but he seems to have landed in another land. I'm guessing that nobody really died, but they're now stuck in whatever system they were while the mass relays exploded, a user in NeoGAF posted that there's a Codex entry that says that ships can actually travel light years in matter of days. So if the planets are somewhat close, they can get back to them with week-long journeys, but the problem comes with the far away planets, those might take a longer trip to get back. Maybe they would end as the Migrant Fleet of the Quarians, or find a new planet to establish. If Joker survived, I'm pretty sure some ships escaped the explosions of the mass relays, that's my take on it.

No one can topple Capcom's throne.

I should? I hate it and Miracle Whip.

I haven't heard anything about DmC in a while, if only they would scrap it.

I'd get the RE5 DLC (Lost in Nightmares proved that they know how to do a survival horror again, they just don't care anymore :wacko: ) but Capcom hasn't made a sale for it on XBL yet. That's right, three years and not a discount on that DLC. :wacko: I can't imagine them doing a discount on those SSF4 costumes either. :P

That's how Capcom does things :wacko:.

I can't decide if that's more ridiculous than Activision price slashes during Steam sales.

15% off on MW2.

My sides, they're moving on their own.

Lol Modern Warfare 2 lol

Spoiler warning:

Maybe, but if you follow the events of events of Arrival, the destruction of the mass relays leads to the destruction of the entire nebula, as evidence of the fact that once you destroy the relay you can't get back to the Viper nebula. Obviously that's not the case in ME3 since joker had to of crash landed somewhere, I'm assuming he landed somewhere on earth since everyone got out of the Normandy and didn't choke to death instantly in a foreign atmosphere.

What I'm guessing is that it has very much to do with the way they destroyed the mass relays, since one of the characters in the game (I forget who) theorizes that resulting explosion of destroying a mass relay might be a defense mechanism implemented by the Reapers to give advance civilizations an ultimatum: Wait to be harvested and fight it out, or destroy the relay and destroy the entire nebula.

What a sale!

Spec Ops with a friend in local co-op is one hell of a blast though. :lol

I started back reading and then immediately stopped due to ending talk, I'm only 5 hours in you bastards. :fist:

Both companies are fucking vultures when it comes to DLC, charging for various little things, costumes, weapons, etc. AND putting DLC on the disc. Okay guys, GG. :toss:

And yes, fried mayonnaise balls are supposed to be your favorite food, and you're over weight. Or at least that's what I've been lead to believe about the middle of the country. :wacko:

Spoiler warning:

Yeah, I had forgotten that about the Batarian colonists, maybe their colony was way too close to the mass relay and couldn't escape the black hole effect created by the destruction? Good question. :P Then again, the mass relay in Arrival was destroyed using artificial means by exploding it, maybe Shepard's way to destroy it was different and thus, didn't cause the destruction of the nebula, like imploding? At least that's what I'm figuring out.

Spoiler warning:

That's exactly what I was getting at about the destruction of the mass relay, I just forgot to mention it. :wacko:

I kind of liked the synthesis ending, lack of closure aside. And the "destroy reapers" ending obviously opens the door for my space jesus to live so that's definitely plus. :P What I don't agree on is the lack of a boss battle of sorts, the original concept for the end-game Illusive Man was much more bad ass than "LOOK AT ME MY NECK IS BLUE".

Conversations entirely in spoilers FTW. :wacko:

Click for ME3 spoilers :awesome:

Steve has man tits.
