While we can all discuss the quality of the endings it DID provide closure. Even as a big Mass Effect fan I am glad they didn't change the endings, but rather expanded and provided some much needed closure. The core problem was not the endings but the lack of closure and Bioware did address this issue. In the end I am happy that Bioware took the time to make this content.
Gotta love the headline... Alex likes to troll indeed. The infamous hate for the Mass Effect 3 ending went viral. Some of the reactions (law-suit included) were just plain stupid...
However, I feel that at its core the critic was justified. The ending lacked any context and prober conclusion for an amazing trilogy. Mass Effect’s real strength was it’s characters and story, and how the player chose to interact within that premise. Granted most of the decisions were mere illusions the story still managed to engage and seduce great many players. I was one of those.
To make it abundantly clear to all: The problem was how it ended and not the ending. Nothing really changed no matter which ending you got. No context as to how your last decision (or any decisions you made) impacted the universe you come to love.
I am really happy Bioware decided to extend the endings...not change them. That they even decided that same-cut-scene-ending in the first place astonishes me more than anything else.
- It was sad to see the overblown reactions to the Mass Effect 3 ending. - It is sad to see the ignorant comments coming from both game-journalists and gamers alike.
Yes, I do enjoy a nice cold beer or a glass of whiskey. My friends and I go to a bar once or twice a week, not to get drunk (it happens) but to watch a soccer game or just talk.
