Mass Effect 3 Ending Fighter Goes To The FTC

A fan who wants to see the ending of Mass Effect 3 changed has taken his complaint to the Federal Trade Commission, the agency created to protect consumers.

His argument is that Bioware did not deliver on the promise of its game saying, "after reading through the list of promises about the ending of the game they made in their advertising campaign and PR interviews, it was clear that the product we got did not live up to any of those claims."

He continues by inviting others to file complaints against Electronic Arts with the FTC if they share his sentiments.

OH FFS!! :laugh: This is taking it too far :/

It works pretty great if you ask me

It's not as much of an issue in single player campaign but quickly becomes a pain in MP. Trying to revive a team member? Your character is more likely to start hugging a wall, repeatedly (happens a lot since most ppl die next to cover/wall). Trying to run away from an enemy heavy? Your character decides that you are trying to get into a cover instead.

That Banshee is one tough b*tch

Hate her

There's two of them to fight while defending the bomb in the monestry

Lots of sprinting away to sinpe them with the Widow and using squadmates warp/frag grenades when you're playing as an Infiltrator

I can't see why some people consider the "Destroy" choice to be the most appropriate. Remember "Arrival"? Destroy a relay, it destroys the entire system. And all the home worlds contain a mass relay. So even if you destroy the repears, you destroy the home worlds (what you were fighting for) and some of their colonies as well. Whatever survivors that are left on remote planets are usual in hostile environments that depend on supplies from aforementioned worlds. Considering that, they'd be dead within a few months or years. It would be a Pyrrhic victory.

Unless the Catalyst and Crucible are able to destroy the Mass Relays without destroying the systems (which is possible).

Thats the worst part.

I can handle Brutes easily, with Nova at full, but that Banshee is just too much

Cerberus Network was different, that gave you access to DLC for free for single player, the online pass gives you access to multiplayer(that's already on the disc) to expand the single player

When EA shuts down the ME2 Cerberus network, that DLC will still be there, just not for free, when EA shuts down the online servers, that's it, unless they release a patch and when

has EA EVER done that in the history of ALL EA games?

PS: Sorry, but EA hasn't earned any points with me, only lost.

I was merely referring to how they attempted to cut down on used copies. They didn't need to shoe-horn the multiplayer in there to create the online pass. Cerberus Network was one of the first examples of the "online pass": redeem the code, log in to EA servers, and get free DLC (that would cost $10 without the code).

The multiplayer was in there because OMFG every has to have a multiplayer function at this point, amirite?

Mass Relays are destroyed in all endings.

Internets is awesome... cue the newest of many hilarious memes of Mass Effect - Marauder Shields :laugh:

I saw Jack yesterday! I had just a huge smile on my face, she was my favorite and it was good to see her.

The small stuff is frustrating though. Why can't I press the "J" key to bring up my journal, for example? I know it's a console port, but how long would it of taken to at least try to do a few things for the pc?

So apprenlty because I missed the Eden Prime thing I wasn't high enough to get the ****ing ending I wanted after playing full paragon and keeping everyone alive throughout the entire series(minus the one that had to die in ME1 and Moradin cause I'm Paragon) I only bothered to play MP till I had 66% readiness thinking that it would be enough since I was sitting around 6.9k assets. But that became clearly wrong as I made my way to the beam at the end. Yeah this ending has caused me to no longer buy Bioware games on day 1. The ending to 1 and 2 I loved this one I wished the game just ended after the Cerebus HQ. i still don't know anything about the Illusive man and I shouldn't have to read the stupid comic to learn about it. 3 games of playing Paragon but I guess that wasn't enough to get the Illusive Man killing himself choice. The only renegade choices I know I made was killing Fei Ling and something on the Rachni mission)(let the queen live) I still don't know where those renegade points came from. I was going to go ahead and play through all 3 games again but idk if I want to at this point. I honestly thought I could put the ending aside like I did in Deus Ex but nope, don't even care about the three choices its the getting there part I hate. And if Liara and Javik(people I took on final mission) are the only ones to step off the ship at the end does that mean everyone else died? Also why am I starting back on my ship after that? What the hell is the point, I'm not gonna build the legend with DLC I built it in 1 and 2 and finished it in 3. Also my screens color was really messed up am I suppose to think Shepard lived at the end? I couldn't see what moved in the wreckage.

O and **** banshees.

Its like a 3 hour movie.

First hour was released in 2007

Second in 2010

Third in 2012

Its like every single scene of the movie is a masterpiece. Excellently done, performed and presented. Only in last 5 minutes, they screwed up for whatever reasons.

The last five minutes are out of the blue. With little, very little to no connection with the first 175 minutes.

*sigh*

I completed the game yesterday afternoon. I felt too that the ending was disconnected from the universe and it raised many eyebrows and questions, especially since I did not play the first two games, I may be missing a few pieces of the puzzle.

It had a very 'completion of trilogy' cliche-esque feel to it, I just wish we had more information on what happened to the rest of the characters.

Still, it did not alter my opinion of the game: I enjoyed every minute of Mass Effect 3 and I look forward to continue playing it,

On the contrary, you're not missing out on anything... because the first two had no impact on the ending. Which is one the biggest complaints people have currently.

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
