Uh oh.... (Mass Effect)

[classicdrogn]

Actually, I tend to hold off on buying properties that are broken into multiple parts until I can get them all and play striaght through, and know at least a couple of other people who do the same... when the original came out, it almost sold me an XBox, but I held off. ME2 came out, and I figured that yeah, much though I loathe Microsoft most likely they were going to get a big chunk of my money once the series was complete. Now...

Well, I am no longer thinking about how to fit an XBox into my gadget stack, or my budget, and I'm not subscribing to the services that manage online content either.

"I picture the Mass Effect story as a sort of eye-shape. You start off on the left at one single point and then it spreads out as it moves to the right as the various options and subplots are established, before they all come back together and meet at the far right in a single point again.

Uh huh... except that was what they specifically promised the ending wouldn't be like... even if you don't consider it a Bad End they railroad you into.

- CD, All Roads Lead to BOOM? Why can't I take one that leads AWAY from it instead?

ETA: I propose a new term for what Bioware has done: Fandom Gank. Where the creators of a property attempt a twist ending that, instead of fascinating and inciting discussion that enhances replay/rerun/etc value, alienates a large portion of their fanbase and creates negative buzz that has serious negative effects, if not killing off the property entirely for a while.
