I think its hilarious that you use Molyneux as an example here when he was one of the first devs who said "right, I fucked up bad, have an expansion of the game with more of shit you wanted in it"

Its also worth noting that one reason the Retake people are so mad is that a significant portion of Hudson's claims of diverse endings were made after ME3 exited development and went gold, and therefore he knew for a fact that he was lying.

In which I am a deliberately obtuse jerk; for humor!

You just spent 3 paragraphs,each longer than the last, explaining that the critics are actually objecting to everything!

except for all the dev quotes and pr interviews that were after the game was gold and during it's certification process where they explicitly lied, this isn't even people complaining about stuff being pruned during the dev cycle because of tech limits. This is a company specifically bullshiting knowingly to ensure more sales it's fraud plain and simple and should be treated as such. You can argue about the scale of the fraud but that doesn't stop it being fraud.

So yes people are ENTITLED, (which by the way isn't an insult and I find the Internet community ridiculous for treating it as such) To seek some one way to tell companies doing this that they are fucking twats and need to cut that shit out right now if that means bioware gets destroyed in litigation tough shit for them but lets be honest that wont happen any way because they are owned by EA and ea will be lawyers lawyers lawyers lawyers until any complaints in legal setting die.

i should point out that the entire "Self-Entitled Shits" mostly comes from my own fault of seeing comments of this news on Tweeter, IGN, Kotaku and The Escapist.

...because actually those are just terrible places to get user feedback, so in hindsight, my bad on that one.

And yeah, this sounds bad. Although... i wouldn't be sure enough to say, but how many games stack up to the promisses and trailers? Either way, i still hold some faith that they might do right to their fanbase and things turn out nicely in the end.

Also, a bunch of the endings at the same time for those who didn't see it.

A bunch of being "all of"

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche 03-22-2012 05:23 PM

All of meaning basically the same ending run through a few filters.

^My thoughts exactly to Marc and Karesh. Why you gota be ninja'ing my thoughts guys?!

And as an added bonus to reiterate the point;

Yeah, I'd call that false advertising, when one of your lead people directly states something that turns out to be a complete lie. Hence why people are pissed, and can you really blame them?

Man I feel really bad for anyone playing the game who happens to be colorblind
"I thought I chose a different ending this time, but it looks exactly the same!"

The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk 03-22-2012 05:45 PM

Does that count as discrimination against colour blind people then? Can we add that to the pile of potential lawsuits?
