Mass Effect 3 DLC Review - Chaos Hour

Ultimately this DLC does two things. One is that it gives the spoiled, unappreciative fans what they ask for, a new ending. And at the same time it’s a superfluous, superficial upgrade, completely unnecessary and almost, as far as I feel, given to them to try and shut them up in the easiest way possible, because the ending shouldn’t be changed. -

I pity those who waste their time reading such insufferable garbage.

Care to maybe expand your vague complaint there :)?

"spoiled, unappreciative fans "

You're part of the madness that considers gamers "entitled" and "unappreciative". This argument is beyond madness. If something is below satisfactory level then god damnit complain about it or it will be the same way next time.

Gamers have the right to moan all they want, just like you'd moan if your lawnmower was better at chopping off heads than grass.

[NegativeCreepWA]

The ending fine to begin with. People always complain about the endings of epic sci-fi's. I find it better when they leave wondering what happened.

[Chaosmedia]

A lawnmower which was better at chopping off heads would be useful in certain situations.

You never know!

While I agree fans had a right to be upset, and that creatively, the ending was in poor taste and rushed, I do believe how the masses handled it was immature in their criticism. However, the same can be said for those who unquestioningly supported Bioware and attacked the disgruntled fans using words like 'entitled' incorrectly.

[SageHonor]

Fans can criticize whatever they want although there were alot of fans that shouldve been more mature about it. BioWare can ultimately do what they want even though they couldve handled ME3 and the way they responded to the fans alot better.

However the media/journalist are the worse offenders and this article is another example why people dont take them seriously anymore.

This is just another journalist instigating the conflict and stroking the flamebait. Nothing to see here. Don't waste your time.

[Warj]

Well put.

[InTheLab]

So you're not entitled to criticize something you've paid $60 for? Yeah...the author can eat one...hell...maybe even two.

Mass effect 3 was great until the last ten minutes or so when the entire franchise has been building up this granduer of choices the maing focus of the mass effect games choice was thrown out the window you want to descide the fate of the galaxy choose red blue or green in fact they said that it wouldn'ent be that way, fans were just had their hopes up to high, the extended cut dlc does it justice alot are saying if this were were the original ending all this commotion would never have happend,although i felt it lacked two things one your galactic readiness still lacks importance and their wasn't really any individual character screens you know stuff like garrus becoming a general or Liara working with the prothean to uncover more prothean articfacts and other people but i suppose im just asking too much i mean i was kind of happy with the reject ending in which i would have preffered that The Normandy crew escapes and sleeping into the next cycle and when they wake the the offspring of Sheperherd and his or her love interest or if you were homosexual im sure an alternative would be present such as adoption or an escapee from the their cycle and as they go into the new cycle the new shepherd is trained by uncle garrus, taught by liara and basiclly has a child- teenager - adult stage this way Bioware can introduce new races for the new cycle perhaps have the Yagh, basiclly he is raised by sheperds team they then try to convine the current cycle to turn towards the next reaper harvest in which they do all sorts of missions as sheperds gets his own crew and a new Normandyor different ship that is naturally superior to the Normandy this using all the technology gained from their war with the reapers, so lots of tech, this also allows for a better exploration method by making each planet like a dungeon for example skyrim your have the roads the mass effect 4 equivelint is space you travel from planet to planet and find information a town perhaps or doing actual side quests not overhearing someone then going to scan a planet then fly back this quest system of course should be better then the one in mass effec 3, This is just a dream but the setting for this sounds cool to me.

I registered just so I can tell the author how full of shit he is. spoiled brat's ok how much more of a dumbass do you have to be? Should some of the fan's handled it better IE not threatened or attacked the developer's yes those were idiot's should the developer's have handled it better yes but I feel they did as best as they could. What shouldn't of happened was dumbass journalist's like you,this site,ign,etc. Your the brat's crying and decrying the view's of those you disagree with trying to paint them as spoiled,entitled and such. I had my eyes opened to the maturity level of Journalists after this because most of you are nothing but spoiled little cry babies who lie,and try to paint others in as negative a light as you can fools without any sense of ethic's or honor! I pity your families knowing how much a cowardly,lying,bully they have to claim relation to. While I use to rely on this site now I won't I'll find my news elsewhere with author's and journalists like this one who need's this damn site.
