I guess for a game to qualify as having a "saddest" moment, it has to be made starting with the Playstation 1 era, right?

None of these games compare to Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the US). That game made me bawl like crazy so many times, it's not even funny.

Celes' suicide scene, Setzer's reminiscing about his past, the entire backstory of Terra/Tina, the backstory of Shadow...manly tears dammit!

What the heck is wrong with people who praise the Kinect? It is an abomination and needs to die! There are some cool features in Kinect but you can get those same things without the motion sensing crap. The voice command thing in ME3 was great, for example, but there was no need for motion sensing. If all hardcore games are better with physical, tangible controllers, what is the benefit of Kinect but to fuel a move towards the casual market?

PC gamers (usually elitists, but s...

But even then, Skyrim quality >>>>>> most other games out there. Even if Skyrim was a short, closed-world game, it would be better than Call of Duty 72.

How are they following through? They're going to just build up on the turd of an ending they had before. How does putting a cherry on top of a turd turn it into a sundae?

What the entire fan outcry has been about is that the current ending goes against what Mass Effect has been about. The number one issue is CHOICE. There should have been a number of drastically different endings, not just colour swaps. Your actions throughout the trilogy should have affected the ending i...

Yeah, I'm dumbfounded how the author can say FFX has the worst ending and says that those other games, which weren't story driven like Mass Effect had "bad" endings in comparison. When a role-playing game has a non-ending, like Mass Effect, people are going to be pissed. On the other hand, when a role playing game has an amazing ending, people are going to refer to the game as one of the best games of the series. FFX ranks number 2 in my opinion in the FF series, right after...

Gamefront and Angry Joe are actually siding with the consumers. Angry Joe himself is mad as hell at Bioware. He also adheres to the indoctrination theory for the most part.

It's probably someone who started gaming recently or was a console gamer and thus missed out on Diablo 1 and 2 (2 especially).

Bioware did say the following (in fact, some of these promises can still be seen on their Mass Effect website as taglines and slogans):
1. Multiple different endings
2. Choices matter and affect the game so the endings are tailored to your specific character
3. A sense of closure to the trilogy

Sorry, but it is not entitlement. What was promised was drastically different from what was delivered. And this is not the first time it has happened. Bioware c...

Resident Evil, perhaps. But COD is just a paintjob. It's been essentially the same game since COD4. No real improvement in tech.

Correction: it does not matter TO YOU. Big difference. To many of us, we fell in love with the Mass Effect universe. We fell in love with our squad mates. We identified with Shepard as an extension of ourselves.

Why is this news, exactly? Seems like a pissed off pro-ending guy trying to paint the entire group of people wanting to change the ending with the same brush.

This should not be approved. A random forum post by a disgruntled gamer being extrapolated to look like anyone against the ending is carrying out this ridiculous action is the epitome of hyperbole (yes, this sentence is ironic :P).

Furthermore, the thread is closed.

I don't care if it goes either way. EA does deserve a comeuppance coming its way. And that's not just for the endings.

@theWB27

No, not really. Bioware told us that the ending would:
a) coincide with our choices
b) won't be a simple choose A, B, or C ending
c) won't be unsatisfying (albeit this point is completely subjective)

@zeeshan

No, the game does not deserve a 10/10. It deserves a 9/10 for all of it except the last 15 minutes. The last 15 minutes bring it down to a 6/10 AT BEST. Why? Because the entire purpose of ME games and Bioware games in general is choice. When the ending rips that away from you and forces you down a linear path where your actions are of no consequence and you get the same cookie cutter ending regardless, then you feel cheated for investing 5 years of your time into you...

I have no idea why all these "articles" based completely on conjecture and BS get approved.

It's called OPINION. I never even choked up during Grave of the Fireflies nor Shawshank Redemption. The latter's a great movie (I ended up HATING GotFf) but personally, I didn't find it extremely emotional.

I cried in Final Fantasy 6. And that was just a bunch of crappy, pixellated sprites! I don't even recall crying during a movie or even getting choked up.

This is because people get more invested in game characters than they do with movie characters. You form bonds and friendship with other game characters. In movies, you're just following someone else's actions. Some of these actions are retarded and something you'd never have done. This decreases our affinity...

It is a huge number. For example, in the UK, 2.5 million people marched in London against the Iraq war. The population of the UK is about 30 times that. Does that mean it was only a vocal minority that was against the Iraq war? In fact, I can guarantee you, that if any government were to say that tomorrow, we are going to be poisoning the water supply, you'll only get a small percentage of the population protesting. Why? Because a lot of the people believe that their protests won't ch...

Hey, just because it has been overdone to death does not mean it wasn't funny when it first began. I laughed the first few times I read that meme online.
