    It's honestly not that bad until about 15mins before the end, when things take a bit of a nosedive. Not quite the 50-storey faceplant onto concrete nosedive that it was before the extended cut, but its still far from perfect. Although at this point it seems people just make up how they think it should have ended in their head and it's about as valid as Bioware's ending.

    Someone linked me this blog post by a video game developer, titled " Art and Appreciation". The whole ReTake thing stirred up a lot of discussion about the nature of art in the commercial sector, and this post seems like a response to some of it. Link here.

    tl;dr -

    ...We often use art and the authority of the artist (or the author, or the director, etc.) as an abstract shield to justify choices we make contrary to the desires of an audience. We make a choice, an audience complains, and sometimes -- all too often -- we say, "Sorry, but art." This is unproductive deflection. This is an absurd, conversation-ending non-argument. It is presented as a wall that no criticism can breach. How is the critic intended to respond?...

    If they want to keep selling their "art", then they better start listening.

    Probably with that's a reatard arguement, propogated by retards for retards, which only works on retards.

    It's not like art can't be terrible.

    If Mass Effect 3 was art I'm not sure if I would want to frame it and hang it on a wall.

    Actually I really wouldn't.

    Rumours were true then.

    Why would anyone ever bother with that, considering it's going to be absolutely pointless...

    What really bugs me about ME3 is the replay thing. Bioware wants you to replay the campaign with your ME3 character, so you can unlock weapons up to level 10, etc etc etc. So, there are six classes, no big deal, get a playthrough with a new one. Except they make you play the same damn class as your original ME3 character! I don't understand their rationale at all; why make you do up to twelve playthroughs?

    Save editor. If you're not on PC though you're shit out of luck.

    My issue with replays is that there's strictly no point to it. To me. I never held ME (2, 3) combat in high regards so I couldn't care less if I'm playing a soldier or an adept through the simplified conversations, atrocious plot and hilariously bad ending, the motivation for that is just not there. This also makes story DLCs useless. This is the opposite of ME2 which I didn't like too much mechanically, but there was always the option to make some different decisions, try new squad mates and have a slightly different ending and hopefully (lolno) a character for a customized ME3 experience.

    so the dlc will put you on the Batarian homeworld at some point?

    vOv though, given the rest of the game plot. doing whatever to the leviathan won't alter the red/green/blue ending thing. Maybe a different slide in the slideshow at the end.

    Shouldn't be. That leviathan (leviathan of Dis) was actually a reaper who indoctrinated the Batarian High Command allowing an easy initial invasion. If you do Bring Down the Sky DLC in ME1 and let the Batarian go he explains this on the Citadel in ME3.

    Don't worry I'm sure Dragon Age 3 will be amazing. Just like DA2, ME3 and SWTOR!

    LOL Bioware, look what you've become.

    Last game slightly connected to bioware i have purchased was bg2. Not going to change in future i think. Shrugs, not that it makes me sad, with barely any time for games just saved me a bit of money.

    Mistake tbh. They did plenty of good games between then and what they have become.

    Neverwinter Nights
    KOTOR
    Jade Empire
    Mass Effect
    Dragon Age


    Not looking their newest stuff is fair, but it's not like they did nothing good since BG2....

    oh right. Hmm. Just on the pic of whatever it is floating on the ocean, there's an orangey mark that kind of looks like a Batarian symbol or something.

    The general buzz is:

      Spoiler:
    The leviathan is a reaper gone rogue, who was destroyed for attempting to break the cycle


    just a buzz, it's not confirmed afaik.

    I kinda want to care, but I just really don't.
