    You know. Or a moron.

    It was badass and all but crashing a shuttle into a reaper...probably didn't hurt the reaper.

    So that's what happened to her... although, to be fair pretty much every supporting character gets something of a bum deal this game.

    Well I posted a ton of terrible fan art a few pages ago and would post more, but I'm on strike until Orca uploads it.

    Oh no. I'm sure people are going to bitch about the next ending too.

    Which is going to be hilarious, especially if it turns out how I think it will turn out.

    You guys are crazy. That ending had a zillion times more closure than this one.

    Also I'm one of the ones that thought that ending was great.

    We talking about Dark Tower? Yeah, besides the main character, the extended cast at least got some closure.

    Yeah especially since going back and fixing shit made Blade Runner so terrible. Oh wait.

    Artistic integrity is moot if the art is shit to begin with, as is the case here.

    Blade Runner was that weird game where the protagonist turned out to be a robot pedophile, right?

    I'm pretty sure that was how the Lets Play went.

    Honestly, Bioware easily made the right decision here.

    At the end of the day, choosing between critics and fans is a no-brainer. As evidenced by the overwhelming majority of critics who stood by the ending and criticized anyone who expressed disappointment as "entitled" while completely misrepresenting their arguments, they'll eat up whatever Bioware puts out there next anyways, because Bioware as a rule makes good games.

    Meanwhile, if you side with the critics and piss off the fan, you lose hundreds of thousands, or potentially millions of dollars in profit while creating a highly extensive, in-depth network of individuals who would like nothing more than to see you brought to ruin for your perceived transgressions against their favorite series.

    No-brainer.

    I don't understand this whole 'entitlement' thing.

    Since when is criticizing a product a bad thing?
    Since when is demanding better of a product a bad thing?
    If words don't get the results consumers demand of their products, then speaking with their wallets will.
    That's how responsible consumers should behave.

    Why is this a bad thing?

    My Salarian Infiltrator carries only the Widow I which leaves him with just +11%, and does pretty well despite the 5 second cooldown on Energy Drain and 6 seconds on Cloak. I'm going to try out the Mantis X and see if that makes him more effective (wish I got the Valiant instead of the Crusader, ah well).

    That is exactly the loadout I now use, and the Mantis X does not shoot through schools, shields, walls, other enemies, and planets. Stick with the Widow.

    If their DLC is post-game content that smooths over the endings warts, I can live with that.

    (I bet they contradict the ending a little)

    Ben Kuchera is certainly not the only dude who writes about video games who has come off as snide during this whole thing

    See also: N, IG

    the problem with ben kuchera's response is that he's arguing in bad faith when pretending to be the impartial arbiter of Good Videogame Writing, when it's clear to anyone with half of a brain that he doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't know good storywriting from abel

    Especially since video game storytelling is kind of my wheelhouse, it's insulting to hear from a guy whose favorite videogame stories are FF7 and Alan Wake, two of the most generic, lowest common denominator "good videogame stories" in existence (especially when the second is literally Twin Peaks: The Videogame), how much more knowledgeable about good videogame writing he is and how you're all so dumb for hating it, you sad ending haters

    Well said.
