Bioware Fixes Mass Effect 3 Endings. Fans Still Pissed.

This week Bioware amended the endings to the ending of the Mass Effect trilogy; despite this, thousands of fans remain angry and depressed.

Earlier this year when Bioware released Mass Effect 3, thousands of fans became outraged over the three, brusque, nearly identical endings to what was a one-hundred+ hour trilogy that made players feel like they were actually living a hero's life. Players stated that the endings left them with negative feelings, such as "a need for more closure" and "a sense of meaninglessness" and "a crushing sadness that left me crying in dark corners." 

Mass Effect player John Boringson explains, "I've played and replayed Mass Effects one and two multiple times so that I [Commander Shepard] could have the best ending for me, my friends, and the galaxy. Bioware told us that the decisions we made would affect how it all ends. But all I got was the realization that my life is s***."


Thousands of explanations similar to Mr. Boringson's flooded the Internet for weeks after the game's release. Most of the messages were more concise than Boringson's, stating things like, "f*** Bioware," and "hope everyone at Bioware dies," and "nothing ever mattered..." Mass Effect fan Bob Losermun even went as far as to take the issue to the United States government. In his letter he wrote, "Please, government, make Bioware fix the Mass Effect 3 endings. If they don't fix it, I will die." 


The new endings are now out and can be downloaded and played in the game, or viewed on the Internet. Every plot hole has been filled. There's plenty of "closure." And, in the Stage Zero opinion, although they maintain Bioware's tradition of okay writing, the new endings are good. The. New. Endings. Are. Good. AND PEOPLE ARE CRYING ABOUT THEM. Wow.
