BioWare ended up giving them away to a local youth centre, because they didn't feel right eating delicious protest cakes.įans also raised $80,000 for the Child's Play charity, and they would've raised more if the directors of Child's Play hadn't asked them to stop because they didn't want to be a tool to draw attention to a cause. They came in three colours, to match the three colour-coded endings of the game, but they all tasted exactly the same. On the scale of customer dissatisfaction, this one reached 402 on the cupcake scale, or at least that's how many were sent to BioWare's office in protest. 2% of players really didn't mind it that much, according to this poll from the BioWare forums. And I will have opinions to share.īy the way, when I say that 'the fans had issues with the original ending' I don't mean to imply that all of them did. Twice over in fact first with the original ending and then a second time with the reworked Extended Cut DLC installed. So for once I actually am going to be finishing something. When a game's a story driven as this, that last 1% of plot can make all the difference, just ask a 'Lost' or 'Battlestar Galactica' fan. I don't usually like to call what I write for this site 'reviews' even though they can get a bit conclusiony down at the bottom, because most of the time I haven't finished the games I'm talking about and for some games that really matters. Everyone else playing after release was able to check YouTube afterwards to learn that all endings are the crap outcome. My theory is that they were thrown off by the fact that you needed to play multiplayer to boost your War Assets for the best ending, and assumed that they must have gotten a crap outcome. Though I remember that reviewers at the time didn't really take issue with the game's ending, which is kind of bizarre considering how many of the fans did. The game was so thoroughly torn apart back in 2012 that there's absolutely nothing new I can bring to the table. I've already talked about Mass Effect 3's gameplay, but now that it's three years later and emotions have calmed down I'm going to revisit the controversial conclusions to the Mass Effect Trilogy and finally answer the question "Is there actually anything left to say about this bloody ending that hasn't been said a thousand times before?" THIS IS PART 3, YOU CAN FIND PART 1 HERE.
