BioWare to talk about the ending of Mass Effect 3 soon

I have yet to play Mass Effect 3, but I talked to fellow NR member Narvin Seegoolam about what he thought about the ending (review coming soon). He loved the ending, but he can understand the negative reactions to it by the video game community. Since I haven’t even touched the game yet, I’m left wondering how bad the ending can actually be. Is it the case of the audience wanting a typical cookie-cutter ending? I don’t know, but what I do know is that BioWare has been listening.

The ending is so controversial that BioWare will be discussing it with the fans.

Here’s what Chris Priestly had to say on the official forum:

“We appreciate everyone’s feedback about Mass Effect 3 and want you to know that we are listening. Active discussions about the ending are more than welcome here, and the team will be reviewing it for feedback and responding when we can. Please note, we want to give people time to experience the game so while we can’t get into specifics right now, we will be able to address some of your questions once more people have had time to complete the game.

“We understand there is a lot of debate on the Mass Effect 3 ending and we will be more than happy to engage in healthy discussions once more people get to experience the game. We are listening to all of your feedback.”

At least the ending’s not as overdone and convoluted as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
