So now that the Better Business Bureau has said the Mass Effect 3 controversy does constitute false advertising, think people will shut the fuck up about "entitlement?"
...Probably not.

Ha. People quit bitching? Surely you jest KK.

I don't jet. And don't call me Shirley.

Wow.

Hmm?

I didn't expect that to win.

To be fair, the BBB isn't really a significant win. Since they have no real authority, all they can do is drop EA's rating.

I do think it kind of solidifies the complaint, but action from the FTC would be more a win.

I feel ya there. I think it's a bit bullshit to have to unlock the new classes. So far, I've only unlocked the Justicar.

I haven't played for a while now. Don't know if I'll go back.

I just got into the multiplayer yesterday and I am actually pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoy it.

Don't get me wrong, if you play with people that communicate, and know what they're doing, you're good to go. I hate getting stuck with assholes who are high levels, but always run off on their own and then get raped by Brutes, Banshees, or Phantoms and then bitch at you for not rushing in and reviving them because they don't want to use their medi-gel.

According to Bioware, Sony has just started to work with them to get the weekend challenges to become available for PS3 owners of the game.

EGM thinks the original reason why Sony refused might have been related to how Bioware uploads data to PSN servers and didn't want to allow anyone to access PSN without their permission.

Finally beat it. I made my final choice by accident by walking up to the big beam of light. I thought you had to walk up to it and then make your choice.

I don't know about Gold.

If anyone ever wants to tackle gold, holla.

New operation this weekend btw.

My action figures finally shipped.

Also, new free DLC was released this week. 2 more maps, and a few new weapons and classes.

I'm picking up my Tali and Miranda today CS. Getting Garrus and Legion next week as well as a Garrus for the girlfriend. Homeworlds #2 also came out yesterday if you're interested.

Apparently this is going to be a launch title on the Wii U.

UK's Advertising Standards Authority clears EA and Bioware from false advertising charges for the UK region in regards to Mass Effect 3 and the issue of your choices do not really influence the game's final ending.

The multi-colored endings are good enough to be considered as keeping the promise EA and Bioware stated the series would fulfill with player choices.

Extended Cut hits Tuesday!

Should be interesting.

1.9 GB of info. According to Bioware, you need to play from the Cerberus base onward to get the full effect of the ending. Well, looks like I'm starting over from scratch then!

Can't you just replay the checkpoint?

If you had a save there, I'd imagine so. The again, isn't that where the end of the game starts anyways?

Yeah sure. You got a save, you should be able to restart at the last checkpoint or mission.

Well then, I guess I know what I'm playing Tuesday night after work.

Also, I need to get by the comic shop and pick up my Liara Bishoujo.

I downloaded this and was about to start playing it and then I realized I can just watch them on youtube.

It seems like Control is the best ending whereas Destroy doesn't make sense. Humans are just going to rebuild the relays by themselves? They have that knowledge now? Jeez, you merely put the final touches on one Prothean superweapon that has taken a bunch of civilizations eons to complete and now you have the balls to try and re-create the relays? How exactly?

Sythesis is ...weird? I dunno, it's a neat alternate option to have but it's just...freaky. Seeing them with lit up green eyes is off-putting and makes it seem like they're soulless zombies for the rest of eternity. But EVI gets upset at the end so there's obviously something there. It just seems like there's this underlying message there of synthetics destroying your soul/humanity.

And I guess this is the new 4th ending if you refuse all of those endings:

Roxer, every species reverse engineered all their technology from the mass relays/citadel, it's not entirely impossible that they could be rebuilt by humans and the other species

Eh. Destroy made the most sense still. Figured they would have put the extra effort into it and had Shepard walking around since he was still alive at the end.

That's still only if you're at 100 percent paragon anyways right? I figured they would change that.

No. Battle readiness needs to be over 5000. Anything less, you're dead.

Next DLC packed leaked as a potential Easter Egg from the Extended Cut DLC.

A data file was found by someone digging what the Extended Cut pack contained and found out to be a potentially new mission concerning the Leviathan mentioned in both Mass Effect 1 & 3.

Not many adding their two cents on the EC. What did yall think?

I say they took one of the worst endings I have ever seen (from a story this well done anyway) and made it into a bleh WWE storyline ending that never gave us the true payoff they built it up to be. So basically from a 1 to a 3.5. At least the slideshow had different scenes for my Paragon and Renegade Shepps.

Other than that, I mostly agree with Tommy Gunn.

Thoughts?
