Welcome to the Cerberus Appreciation Station

wherein we appreciate that Cerberus is a good organization that promotes the interests of Humanity in a galaxy that doesn't like us very much

This is the Illusive Man, and he is a nice man who runs things and feeds my family

I would tell you more but unfortunately we are in the middle of very important combat missions on the Xbox 360 or PS3 or PC or whatever you are doing

If you would like to get into contact with more fantastic Cerberus operatives here is a list of everyone helping fight things

Mass Effect 3 comes out very soon

be happy

(go play the multiplayer)

    Cerberus sucks.

    That's not a spoiler, that's just objective fact.

    @Kuribo's Shoe I think it's less the press being positive about the ending and more them being negative about all the bitching about the ending

    if that makes sense

    I'm hesitant to post since T4CT ME-threads have a habit of getting locked

    If it does, I hope someone makes a new one quick

    I can't wait to see what secret thing Bioware has cooked up that they've been hinting at.

    I am just really hoping that Bioware is going to do some massive troll. Bioware trolling the fanbase is always hilarious.

    The Dark Horse solicitations released recently didn't have a listing for Homeworlds #3 but it looks like a third and fourth issue's coming. It also looks like the 'Tali at Earth' cover for the second issue's meant to be part of a bigger picture as shown here with Vega's alt-cover and the one for #3.
    bh5K6.jpg

    A thread over at the BSN-forums has the other cover for #3 as well as the two for #4. It seems spoiler-free at the moment so gaze at them while you can.

    Here's a moral quandary for you; if you donate to charity in the interest of fulfilling your own sense of unjustified entitlement, is it still charity?

    Answer: Probably, but that doesn't make it any less obnoxious.

    I don't know. I think Bioware execs are almost soiling their pants right now. I know I will be if I'm in their shoes.

    Relying on good press can only last so long. The press still need to pretend that they have some legitimacy, after all.

    According to some ancient sage that may or may not exist, some people who may or may not be Bioware/EA employees looked harried.

    Of course it is (both charity and obnoxious). I will call it vindicative.

    When I posted about this piece of news yesterday, I was a little uncomfortable about it. Now I just kinda don't care.

    I still find it odd that it's okay for BioWare to bow to fan pressure and make Tali and Garrus romance options in ME2 when the BioWare folks apparently never even thought they would be seen as potential romantic interests, but when the same fans find the ending to ME3 lazy and insulting and attempt to pressure BioWare to alter or expand that ending, those same fans are irrational and entitled.

    In more positive news, I'm pretty sure that the Mattock is going to be my one true multiplayer gun love 4 evah, since it gives me all the headshot from halfway across the map goodness of a sniper rifle with the quick reload and higher capacity of an assault rifle.

    I think a nice post script would make me happy

    something about what my squad is doing and how the various species decided to deal with the lack of mass relays

    something that shows me more of my character's impact on the galaxy and the people in it

    Entitlement would depend on the idea that a certain outcome is deserved

    I just don't think "sense of entitlement" is a good word to use in rational debate. It's really a buzzword with a negative connotation.

    When anyone deems themselves deserving of something, they have a "sense of entitlement." The problem is, there's no way to draw the line between honest entitlement and haughty entitlement.

    You don't even need anything as detailed as that. Bastion managed more closure and a far more satisfying conclusion with zero dialogue and just painted images beside the end credits.

    Hopefully the outrage doesn't reach the point where people start sending threatening letters to Bioware employees. Cause that would be creepy.

    But, damn if the ME3 ending doesn't feel like:

    entitlement is having a just claim to receive or do something

    and a sense of entitlement would be feeling that you have a just claim to receive or do something

    but no fans feeling they should have/deserve a better ending doesn't fit that description at all

    (I am no longer going to argue the definition of words in a mass effect thread but that's literally the dictionary definition of entitle so it's not a thing where the word doesn't fit)
