The trailer for Mass Effect 3 got everyone so hyped, so pumped up that Bioware had their work cut out for them to live up to the that hype. This was the same case with Dead Island. Couple that with the fact that they made so many promises about the game's ending which they did not fulfill. This does not excuse the shoddy writing that the players received from such a story driven game. However, it does make a lot of sense that people would be disappointed<br /><br />http://www.videodetective.com/games/mass-effect-3/797964<br /><br />This trailer was far too well done.Scott Harrigannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-27898463546746251992012-03-18T18:47:09.708+00:002012-03-18T18:47:09.708+00:00While Lost's ending sucked, I actually think B...While Lost's ending sucked, I actually think BSG's ending was rather good. It was the season leading up to that ending that screwed the pooch, probably due to the writer's strike, but given that I thought the actual final episodes were actually quite strong and did what they had to do. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I thought Babylon 5's ending wasn't that good, but then, I thought Babylon 5 as a whole wasn't very good, so...<br /><br />Oh, and as a stalwart defender of The Matrix Reloaded, I'll stand up to defend the Architect scene, which is actually one of the more thematically complex and intellectually engaging setups-for-a-finale in genre fiction in recent years. There are aspects of the execution that don't work, but the ideas at play are actually really interesting and make that movie into something more than a "kill the badguy and save the girl" plotline. <br /><br />The cracks are seriously starting to show by The Matrix Revolutions, but it bothers me that the sequels attempted something a lot more ambitious and smart than the usual genre blockbusters and tend to get punished by fans for it, while an entertaining but basically hollow movie like John Carter is getting talked up like some kind of future classic.Pranksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00676528953675160889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-77495172931191412262012-03-18T06:25:00.068+00:002012-03-18T06:25:00.068+00:00so basically it's the Video game equivalent to...so basically it's the Video game equivalent to how the DARK TOWER series ended. it's been literally years since I've read the final book in that series and I STILL want nothing more than to have Stephen king strung up by his genitals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-19389481025197211892012-03-18T00:33:04.677+00:002012-03-18T00:33:04.677+00:00Yresh: I don't know why Lost and BSG didn'...Yresh: I don't know why Lost and BSG didn't think of that before.

But according to this (http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/324/index/10089946) there's still hope. <br />I know some people would fuss about having to pay more for DLCs; I would too, but that won't stop me from being the first in the line to spill my precious money to buy whatever content that would present me a better and sensible ending I, let alone the series, deserve.Yreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132275111184533155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-50348260748345788462012-03-17T12:48:22.686+00:002012-03-17T12:48:22.686+00:00Thanks, Adam.
