The internet hates me. I said some things about resolution and how it's not as important as people are making it out to be. I should have seen this coming. I really can't be paying attention to this—we need to plan out the console launches.

I think they're pre-empting the fact that some people wanna play open world games like this to cause destruction—making it a mini-game means that stuff is separate from what actually happens in the game. There's still some degree of tone dissonance, but it's not as bad as it could be.

We (boyfriend and I) are gamers, and while we don't have kids, we do have cats. We've somehow managed to get the three loudest, most vocal cats in the universe and put them together in our apartment.

I happily call myself a gamer (despite that most people look down on you for it, but oh well, I'm not interested in judgmental people like that anyway.) and I've been into games for 24 years, between my ex and my current partner (both of whom are also gamers^^) I'm the parent of 5 kids.

The numbers in the games aren't meant to show the succession of the historical period but the progression of the "real" world in game, each game happened successively to desmond/unnamed protagonist in 4. Desmond was confirmed as deceased in Black Flag which means the game came after AC3 thus naming it AC4 makes sense.

Do you have the source code proving you correct, or is that an assumption based on your perception? There's more than a few things at hand here, like how do you define "ending" is the path to it not integral to it? At the end of the day, this is the score: Writers made an amazing ending to a pretty decent trilogy.…

This isn't just critique, though. The guy is petitioning to have someone else's work changed because he didn't like it.

The Keepers used to open the Citadel relay when a certain signal was sent throughout the station. After the Reapers fucked everyone's shit during the Prothean's cycle, the surviving scientists who made it to the Citadel from Ilos learned about the signal and modified it so the Keepers wouldn't recognize it. When the…

Sounds like Life.

I agree with many of your points however, I will argue that the keepers were implied to have failed due to (and my memory gets a bit fuzzy here) evolving to only care about keeping the citadel running. They literally forgot they were supposed to help summon the reapers.

I asked you to elaborate because, in your original post, you offered nothing in terms of support or detailed examples for your thesis. This is much better, and can actually be discussed.

Fair enough, I suppose it is all a matter of perspective when you get right down to it. I may be making this more negative in my own head than it is. I guess I'm still a little defensive about the whole thing. Even 2 years later I still have a lot of strong emotions about ME3. I guess that should be a good thing.…

I suppose I can see your point, I just don't like how this was done. Regardless of weather or not its better it shouldn't be considered anything more than an attempt to make better something that the person in question was dissatisfied with. There are things about this I do really like, such as Shepard taking control…

Agreed, and just because your actions throughout the games influence the ending shouldn't (and doesn't) mean that you should be given an "ending editor" to select an ending that makes you the most pleased —why are you partaking in someone else's game if you're not willing to let them guide you through it? Afterall,…

But they did matter, just not for the ending.

Maybe its just me, but I think that fan-fiction is a waste of time. Instead of using somebody else's work why don't you come up with something on your own? Because you are right, critiquing something in this manner is not good criticism. Because at the end of the day its not for the artist to consider, its for…

I don't mind if you dislike something I like. I mean, I exist on the internet. I encounter people who trash things I like constantly. However, I still choose to explain why I think they're wrong for calling it garbage. This particular example just comes off as a guy who can't write his own story so has to use existing…

There is in depth criticism and then there is taking their work and writing it again for them. You seem to miss the point of Critique. At least the good kind. You neither complain about it nor do it again for them. You explain why it doesn't work and let the artist learn from the experience. This isn't Critique its…

I'm right there with you man. This guy could have wrote his own 400 page story but instead piggy backs off of somebody else's work and insults them in the process. It also infuriates those of us who liked how ME3 turned out and still to this day don't get all the hate surrounding it. The whole entitlement argument,…
