Kind of a final say in this matter:

It seems like the right choice on their part.

It may not be new endings, but it will do what we wanted them to do in the first place. Explain the endings. If it still does not do this then I see problems in the future.

Point is kind of moot in my case. The endings already fall outside my personal preferences so... well explained or not, it doesn't really matter.

BW WILL lose some sales. How big or small of a dent it's going to be is still high up in the air.

I'm getting much more fun out of playing Skyrim again than playing through ME3.

Don't know what to say about this...

Somehow though...I get the feeling RetakeME3 isn't going to be satisfied...

*sigh* I just wished BW could work out that giant Garrus-reference stick out of their asses and admit that they did wrong. Hell, I think they could even be accused of false marketing with those endings, compared to their promises.

Keep calm and move along.

EA and BioWare's lawyers would eat anyone alive who attempted that :P

They certainly aren't. Some are jumping ship.

Maybe a few, but the guy who organized this whole thing seems to be holding it together well enough.

I asume "jumping ship" means something similar to bailing out?

It was one of the images that came up in google. So I used it. It could also mean those who did are in the "water" till they find something else.

Found a really good article detailing exactly why the ending was so bad. It may appear a moot point now, but it's still a good read:

http://jmstevenson.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/all-that-matters-is-the-ending-part-2-mass-effect-3/

Apparently the ME3 team at Bioware looked at this, so who knows?
