Also once again to me this isn't just about getting a video game ending changed. The product that Bioware is backing is a total lie and a huge middle finger to the fans that have been there since the beginning. There are numerous quotes of Bioware employees saying the exact opposite of what the ending turned out to be. Video game players feel betrayed and they should be. If we want our industry to grow and be taken seriously we have to stop letting companies get away with terrible writing and BS.
i love anime and i know all about the Evangelion ending but the core difference is that the ending in the series was perfectly acceptable to ppl who are very into philosophy. its widely accepted that the original ending is about whats going on in Shinjis subconscious and the OVA shows a different take on the ending but they never came out and said the original ending was wrong. i have no problem with bioware adding to the ending and story in DLC , but for me they need to stand behind the ending they released.
I just don't want to see Bioware come out and say that the original ending was bad or wrong and then give us a new one. Add to it and give different angles on it by all means in DLC just don't change the original. Thats all i'm saying
@Lemegeton: fans are a huge reason for rewrites...do you even know what you're talking about? or are you just making stuff up to make your argument seem more valid.
just an FYI. it's not working.
show me 1 case where the ending of any game, movie or other media content was changed AFTER ITS RELEASE because fans threw a tantrum. Fan inspired re-writes usually happen as a result of private screenings and focus groups and the feedback from things like that.
Whether the ending is good or bad is irrelvant, Bioware should stand behind the product they released.
are you telling me its acceptable to give the consumer this kind of power over the content. if you seriously believe that then its you who are talking out of your ass.
Bioware do not re-write the ending of Mass Effect 3 . you will seriously hurt the industry and destory the integrity of video game writing. if you give in to these fuckbags no writer worth a damn will want to work in videogames anymore. Grow a goddamn spine. If you want to ADD to the ending in DLC then go right ahead but if you alter the original ending then you are sending this industry down a very bad road.
The road of every storytelling medium in the world? People, please educate yourself. Whatever you think of rewriting ME3's ending, please be at least aware that rewrites have happened before, countless times.
dont fucking put words in my mouth. Where exactly did i even begin to claim that ALL re-writes and re-writes in general are BAD. I said nothing of the fucking sort. Re-writes happen all the time , for legitimate reasons. Fans throwing a fucking tantrum on the internet and demanding you change the ending is NOT one of them.
why would any writer with an ounce of integrity spend the time to write a videogame story if the developer will just change it because some of the fans are not happy with it.

Reviews needs to be impartial, with only a hint of opinions. And if the opinions are shown within the reviews, they must not reflect on the final score.
in a perfect world yes, but reviewers are not robots. You can't expect reviewers to keep their feelings and opinions out of a review, its impossible not to as human beings. A review IS an opinion and if someone feels a game is a big letdown then by all means give it a 3. and for the record IGN are not the only ones to have slated NG3
