I love video games and so do most of my friends. So I have heard nothing but hype for the recently released Mass Effect 3, the conclusion to what is now heralded as "gaming's first true epic." Contrary to popular belief, I was not excited. I had never enjoyed the first game and so felt no reason to play the second or prepare for the third. And suddenly, as the launch date loomed, more and more problems arose - from launch day DLC which cost an extra $20 and contained some important story elements, to leaked pieces which looked nowhere near finished.
And now that the game is out and has been conquered by many gamers, everyone is disappointed. The endings, of which there were several (all equally disappointing to the public), are believed by many to be dream sequences of a sort (known as "indoctrination", beware of spoilers). Now there are movements to change the ending, and groups are reaching out to the company, Bioware, to respond to their disappointment.
Check out the article here which explains the flooding of the forums and the brief company response, as well as the "Retake Mass Effect" movement and their raising money for the Child's Play charity.
