Everything Wrong With Mass Effect

The endings don't need to be "fixed." The endings are what they are and they are going to stay that way. There's literally nothing Bioware could do at this point that will please the fanbase if they did change the endings.

And having gone through my share of ME1 playthroughs, I'd be happy if Bioware released a high-res texture pack. I don't want to have to screw around with game files, and I have a system that shows every flaw in the textures. Probably could do the same for ME2 and ME3. But again, the likelihood of any of that happening, much less something that (in your view) "fixes" the game mechanics themselves will never happen because it simply will not profit Bioware or EA.

Your vision of a "correct" Mass Effect series likely does not gel with my vision of what I'd like to see in the Mass Effect series, and Bioware and EA do not exist to please you.

However, your opinion doesn't include listening to those customers who do want to keep the old endings and stay true to the original.  You want the old endings expunged and you want ME:A to ONLY go ahead based on one ending of the Trilogy (and I'm betting that you would be less than happy if they happened to canonize one of the endings you don't like in the process)... and therein is the problem here.  It's why we're all still fighting an online "war" over this.

Bioware listening to ALL customers includes listening to those customers who happen to disagree with you... and they are out there in large numbers.  There is a way everyone can get somewhat of what they want here... and that is with an expansion ending DLC to the old Trilogy as part of a remaster.  So the original game doesn't get redone... the graphics get improved, the sound quality gets improved, some of the real bugs still lingering around are fixed, and most importantly, it gets released on the newest console systems.  Ignoring the EC once installed becomes an option (so one doesn't have to uninstall it to go back to the very original endings) and a DLC pack (even if it's a freebie) adds on a Bioware version of MEHEM and even a couple of other ending scenarios.  ME:A moves forward from where this ME:A story left off.  No canon ending to MET... no one loses out by having their favored ending "expunged" in the process of pacifying you malcontents that can't let go and move on.

Bioware, right now, is pretty crippled towards getting a prime "A" team together... They assigned ME:A to a young team who may have become eventually great talents... and they were promptly trounced on by the fans, the game metabombed and facial animations memed to death.  Now that division is being downsized... Is it because EA are firing people or that there are just so many people really just now so discouraged they want out and Bioware can't keep enough of the staff to keep the studio running at full speed?  I don't see a bunch of the industry's brightest clamouring to jump aboard Bioware's ship right now while the perception seems to be that it's a sinking one.

I made a post similar to the situation with BioWare bsn.boards.net/thread/1895/rip-bioware

And it was EA who screwed up BioWare in the first place if why they have all these problems today, and me personally I think EA are sabotaging BioWare on purpose like get did with other companies they've bought.

Oh yeah... it's very logical to spend a bunch of money buying out a lucrative company only to sabotage the assets you paid for in the first place (sarcasm - because that doesn't make sense at all).  Absorbing the company makes sense even dissolving the company makes sense... sabotaging the good name of its assets makes no sense.  In Canada... a lot of businesses are sucked under through being taken over by American conglomerates.  Their assets, however, are generally absorbed into the larger company.  The chafe is discarded.  Given the Mass Effect 2 is listed among the greatest games of all time makes that IP a valuable asset.  EA would not go out of its way to destroy the good name of that asset.

It's the fan who have been destroying that good name... Would you want to work for a company where you know other employees have even received death threats from fans?... didn't think so.

Now your sentence structure isn't even making sense.

No, I honestly was not understanding what it was you were saying.  We agree... "fans" who make death threats are certainly not fans... IMO, neither really are fans who go overboard with their criticisms and fail to try to base them on legitimate defects or "pad" their complaints with requests they know are completely unreasonable or who fail to consider that the company is trying to please a wider, more diverse group who have different likes and dislikes.  IMO, everyone should be willing to compromise a bit every now and then.  There's reasonable and constructive criticism and then there's overboard reactionism for the sake of sensationalism and creating tensions.  A lot of the time, ME "fans" tend to lean towards the latter while claiming the former.

As far as I've noticed they cater more to LGBT/"SJW" ( the whole SJW is so lame) than anything else. And BTW the whole "blaming fans for criticism" is just another copout of not accepting responsibility and another thing that the company should realize that it's the fans that pay money for their games so they have every right to criticize their games.

But it was never my intent to insult just to observe or you just want to fight over nothing.

I have absolutely no idea why you're bringing sexuality into this discussion.  When I'm talking about diverse groups... I'm talking about people who have some different tastes in games.  Nothing more.

An over-the-top criticism is still an over-the-top criticism... and complaining vehemently about the endings of a game that is five years old and still demanding rewrites to those endings IS over-the-top... regardless of sexuality and even minus death threats.  It's indicative of being "stuck" in an obsession and unable to move forward from that.  It's indicative of an unwillingness to allow the company to move forward.  It's vindictive... and it is a certain group of "fans" that keep spearheading that sort of behavior on sites like this one... starting new threads daily, attacking players who post that they like the games... and on and on and on.  Then, to top it all off, whenever anyone calls them on that behavior they sink to new lows... bringing in slanderous terms like SJW into the discussion... ensuring that no reasonable discussion can be had on the matter.

People have a right to legitimately criticize... sure... BUT what occurs here on this site and on much of the internet regarding Bioware games much of the time is well beyond reasonable and legitimate criticism.  It's vindictive.  Demanding a complete revoicing of a game 5 years old is unreasonable; and still demanding a rewrite of the ending IS also unreasonable.  Metabombing a game because of another game 5 years old IS also unreasonable behavior.  Picking a new game apart on every little detail while forgiving the same sort of flaws in other games IS also unreasonable behavior.  Picking that new game apart for years before it was even release is also unreasonable behavior.

They should realize that it's not about them they could either play hard or go home, and if BioWare fixed these problems and listen to criticism they wouldn't end up in this situation that they're in the first place. The problem is EA that is forcing them to meet deadlines which is stupid and that's why the ending is poorly written, and the founders left the company after the debacle in 2012. (That's not a good sign) I wish they didn't sold their company to EA.

Hey everyone has differences of opinion.
