The extended/director’s cut ending was released free of charge to anybody who bought the game.

For some reason, I can’t get it to work, but I can get the others to work for me.

The problem with the original endings for Me3, they intended on making people buy the additional DLC for better endings. They made promises, gave something that was contradicting what they promised, and were going to make their fans buy what they were suppose to give them.

That is why they had to do something. Trust me, if not for the threat of losing their License, they would have ignored the fans. The fans wish they had any say.

The way you guys described that Playstation All-Stars game made it sound like a cross between Super Smash Brothers and Thrill Kill.

I’m not sure gamers are necessarily impossible to please, but rather because it’s so easy to get your opinion out there, you will always have SOMEONE complaining or wanting more because there will always be folks who are looking for just one thing and will whine if they don’t get it.

so, y’know. You can’t please everyone, but you’ll always hear from everyone you didn’t please.

I don’t think you will need to worry about other games being changed in the way ME3 was in the future. one of the reasons people were so upset and angry about it was because Bioware promised multiple varying endings that reflect on how you played; and well they didn’t deliver on that, but from what I have seen and heard about(mostly from Angry Joe) they did fix those problems. So as long as game companies don’t promise good or differentiating endings they won’t feel the need to change them if fans don’t like them, or at the very least they can’t have people filling FTC complaints about it.

Also I looked into King from Tekken while listening to this and can confirm that they, The original King(Tekken 1), the Second King(Tekken 2-present) and Armor King, are indeed NOT Jaguar/Human Hybrids, but just wrestlers wearing masks. I was a little disappointed to find this out.

Dead Space 3 needing 5Mil. to survive is complete BS, they are simply being greedy. They likely be reusing stuff from the past games like the engine and voice actors, so there is no way in hell that it costs that much. At least Capcom is just predicting RE6 will make 7Mil. and honestly I wouldn’t doubt it seeing as it is a big franchise and that RE5 made over 5 million dollars.

How? I’ve seen many fans rationally talk out the criticism they have towards the endings, the document I gave a link to is proof that they’re at least somewhat willing to constructively explain their issues with the ending(s). It seems almost insulting to both sides to say that there is nobody willing to rationally talk about the issue.

I remember when Gearbox got savaged on the review scores for Duke Nukem forever, and their excuse was that reviewers just didn’t understand that it was supposed to be old school.

It never occured to them that old school shooters allowed you to carry more than one gun, and didn’t try to be clever above their means.

trying to talk to fans about the whole issue is like trying to talk rationality to the annoying pony fans. No one wins in the end
