Mass Effect 3 thoughts.
Still have not finished the game because:
Mass Effect actually got me out of my art/writing slump. (Zaff gifted me the first game and Silver gifted me the second game. The third game, I actually bought myself.)
I was in middle of playing ME3 (act 2-ish where I got Kaidan's arse back onto Normandy-- literally, lol'd at Shep staring at his butt. :D)
Then I checked the Kaidan fan thread. People were pissed about the endings.
IRL friends were already pissed.
More people just about freaking everywhere were pissed.
I read the spoilers.
And suddenly, I no longer wanted to play ME3 anymore. Even had a nervous/emotional breakdown over it.
How the fuck did Bioware go from doing something so awesome in ME3 to give it such SHITTY ENDINGS. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK, GUYS?
I even canceled SWTOR subscription and took a week off of vacation from work so I could focus on ME3. I was told that I could simply headcannon the ending out of existence but ...
It seems that everything I've done is for nothing. Not a good feeling to leave me with. I am freaking out so badly over it and crying (as if losing Thane and Mordin wasn't bad enough already!) because that means my canon ship Shenko is pretty much OVER.
Also, what pisses me off is that I heard that they basically used Deus Ex:HR's ending for that. REALLY, BIOWARE? Are you serious? (I know some of the devs were actually playing the game at the same time they were working on ME3...)
I am so fucking sick and tired of companies destroying my canon ships just because they can for emotional value. I am so fucking sick of having my emotions used against me in such a destructive way that I don't want to even leave my bed. I am so fucking sick of EVERYONE NEEDING BAD ENDINGS TO BE EDGY AND COOL.
Fuck that shit. I actually have dropped book series when they started down that path because you know what? Real life fucking sucks, I don't need more depressing shit dumped on me when I'm still having ISSUES with myself. I just have to smile and pretend everything is okay when NOTHING IS OKAY WITH ME, EVER. I can't fucking nail down why I'm having these issues to start with, just that fucking goddamnit fuck fuck fuck fuck.
I really don't think I'll give my money to Bioware again just so I can have them abuse me like this again. Just. Fucking. No. I don't like being emotionally abused.
