Multiplayer

I've been playing a LOT of Mass Effect multiplayer these last couple of weeks. It's surprisingly addictive. I'm still pretty terrible at it (though my quarian engineer is capable of taking the top spot points wise every once in a while), but it is fun

Aw, most of the people I've played with seem pretty decent. I've only been abandoned once, during a gold mission (I lasted all of twenty seconds after that). The only thing I've noticed that people do that bothers me is try to kick lower level players from silver and gold missions. I think that's kind of rude, so I refuse to do it. If they want to leave on their own accord that's fine, but I'm not going to kick them because they happen to be a lower level (especially as levels don't mean much. I have an N7 rating of 135, and I still suck).

I have a geth infiltrator (he's a bold red and named Roberto). His skills aren't the best, but I love him all the same.

Well, I think a free expansion clarifying the ending is probably the best they could do under the circumstances. Anything more elaborate would have to be paid for, and while I don't agree that the writers' 'vision' is sacrosanct I can't blame them for not wanting to undermine it. As long as they address a few concerns (for example if there was mass starvation due to the collapse of the Mass Relays) I think I'll be able to live with it.

Eh, I like Bioware and The Sims too much to boycott EA. I was actually seriously considering getting Star Wars: The Old Republic. Principles are hard.

Never played on gold. One time I tried silver I got my ass handed back to me so quickly, my ass got whiplash :/ Anyway, seems like everyone play Geth now! Unfair, I wanted to be Geth.

When I saw the ending for the first time, I was willing to PAY to get any clarification but after weeks of lies, horrible PR, reading articles how a tiny minority of entitled children wants unicorns and puppies, and, the worst, after thinking about it, I decided that no, EA is not getting away with this. Again. The ending was attrocious, no way Bioware wanted it that way - it was written by one person but no one knows who, a lot of fingers point at Casey Hudson who is no writer as we know. On top of that, the original ending from the leaked script was totally different and didn't involve StarKids but dark matter but they changed it at the last moment. AND, and that's very important to me, WHY WHY WHY no final boss battle? I wanted to kick Harbringer's ass so badly, you've no idea. I'd ASSume direct control of his genocidal ass. /badpun
