I think you've missed the point. They basically took all of the choices that defined your Shepard over the course of 3 games- and made them invalid with the ending. They touted as a sselling point that that is what this game is about- the game has always been about personal choice in telling "your story" but in the…

That's just it though with "a developer that gives you 99% enjoyment out of their games is probably one you want to keep getting games from" - enjoyment isn't a definable calculated number- it's not set in stone. They ruined the whole game trilogy for me, and I see little reason why I should play one of their games…

You have completely and totally missed my point. I suppose, it's because I feel I owe them nothing- I'm just not a "fan" of Bioware- or any company, I'm a fan of games.

Yes they can. That's basically what I feel. The part of the adventure was knowing it would lead to an end result based on my choices- THAT'S why it was fun. My choices didn't matter.

Because it basically invalidated your choices over the course of those 2 previous games. Choice mattered- then they invalidated it.

Yes. I enjoyed those games. It was (as they said) a planned trilogy of a structured story where your choices made a difference in the final outcome. They didn't deliver. The ending was lazy, gave no closure- and half of it didn't make sense.

That's fine- if they want to sell people garbage they can. They just won't be able to sell it to them a second time. I'm never giving Bioware a cent again.

Well, it is better than Mass Effect 3's ending.

No seriously- finish it. Then you'll get it.

I had this opinion before I finished the game. I expected characters to die etc, including Shepard.

I thought this too. I was fine with a dark ending, and for the most part thought Shepard was going to die.

Maybe we'll get a real Mass Effect 3 ending?

Sold to retail stores is not the same as games sold. They are not the same. Samsung with their Note cell phone shipped 2 million units- that is not the same as sold. They are not the same. And seriously; "Are you fucking retarded? Because I think you are" strawman comment?

You're wrong. Shipped does not equal sales. That's physical copies sent to distributors- store etc are "shipped." They aren't "sold" meaning someone went out and bought it to play.

Yeah- I don't even know where to begin for myself, and my experience with the game. I played 1-3, same save all the way through. Just to learn my personal choices (which they touted since the very beginning) don't matter. At all.

I without hesitation bought the DLC on opening day.... just to have Origin (I'm a PC guy) crash when I hit "submit payment" which in turn crashed my game. I should have known (other than the fact it was EA) when in the FAQ for Origin, there's the question "what happens to my games if EA goes out of business?" The…

Yes. I liked all 3 mass effect games- even though they were different in their experiences, going from a more traditional RPG to a action adventure shooter. I was fine with that. It's that the very end is terrible, not because it's "sad" but because it's lazy. I've invested years, and 100+ hours into this and…

Shipped means how many physical disc's were made- it's not "sales."

Before I finished this game- I would have totally agreed with you.

Oh man- talk about ruining my day.
