Amazon offering Refunds For Players Dissatisfied With Mass Effect 3 Ending

[QUOTE="HaloPimp978"]

:lol: this is getting ridiculous. Yes the ending was terrible but to send the whole game back because you weren't satisfied with the ending just seems so ridiculous.

Not to justify the self-entitled ragers, but the entire game is a big step back from ME2, its not just the fact that the ending was bad.

[QUOTE="Lionheart08"]

Wait...I thought when people get riled up about stuff like this in DLC the defacto argument is "VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET!" Isn't that what these guys are doing now?

Not really. In a roundabout way, sure, it means Amazon might not reorder as many new copies as they otherwise might've, but for the most part it's just Amazon making a few extra bucks from restocking fees. And like Cherokee said, it's like demanding a refund because you thought the movie/show/concert/whatever sucked.

There's a difference between someone being dissapointed by something and buying something because of misleading marketting. Not that I'm condoning the asinine lawsuit. If people want to return the game though, so what?

lol at all the ME3 ending hoopla.

I've followed all of it day one, but I don't post about it...it's just hilarious. :P

FTC filing about ME3s ending, Charity events raised by ME3's bad ending, Bioware thinking about making a new ending...and you can return the game if you don't like the ending. LOL.

UnknownSniper65

to be fair the ending was pretty bad :P

I'm sure it is...the situation is just comical as it's so blown out of proportion. :P

[QUOTE="danish-death"][QUOTE="IAmNot_fun"]I found the rest of the game so good to just refund because of the ending. Besides, it isn't even the worst video game ending of all time. Not even this gen.IAmNot_fun

I feel torn about ME3. The last chapter was horrible, but up until that point it was overall better than the previous games. Still, I cannot be bothered to replay them all knowing what it will all end with.

It's amazing to see how easily you can ruin a trilogy.

Seriously the rest of the game is good. Sure the ending sucks, but no reason to expect to get a refund. An update with a good ending sure, but a refund...no.

Amazon is always good for customer service. So it doesn't surprise me that they would give a refund. They'll just turn around and send the game off to their used vendor anyway.

I've never done this before, but now...

I personally never liked anything about the mass effect series, but how bad can an ending be?

[...] but how bad can an ending be?da_illest101

Yes, that's quite apparent, the entitlement people have today is just so inspiring.

SolidTy

my opinion on the ending was "eh...i got 31 enjoyable hours out of ME3, 10 mins sure as hell won't take anything away from that"

mass effect to me was about the journey and just intereacting with the world and your crew...and overall i have done that for well over 100 hours and i've enjoyed every bit of it...like i said, 10 mins at the end is'nt going to sour my experince with this great trilogy

SPOILERS!!!

also...Deus Ex HR is another game with a crappy ending...it's just 4 video clips of jensen talking (although the things he said were pretty impactful IMO) but that didn't ruin my experince with the game at all and HR is one of my favorite games this gen

i remember the outcry for the FFX ending because Tidus didn't end up with the girl and live a happyily ever after life...the ending was amaizng and completely what needed to happen...Square had BALLS to do that and then fans had to whine, piss and moan about it and then we got the abomination that is FFX-2 and completely null and voids FFX's ending....thanks whiners, great job

Not Amazons fault the games ending was crap...

Lmao I havent played ME3 yet but is it really this bad?Chrome-

The ending is incredibly disappointing...the rest of the game isn't. The ending just seems so tacked on and ridiculous that it ruins the end of the experience.

[QUOTE="turtlethetaffer"]

This seems to be getting way too out of hand. Alot of games have bad endings, get over it.

AncientDozer

Short answer? No.

Long answer? Why should people roll over and die. That's how we end up with mediocrity.

Mediocrity? Most things in life can or using WILL end up in medicority. Acting like little **** because something didn't go there way is probably the saddest thing ive ever seen. I can only imagine how these peopel will deal with life when **** doesn't go well for them.

That's another problem here is the sweeping generalizations, contempt, and pretentious attitudes that seem to be carried.

How about I assume you simply like giving up or never really invest any time, thought, or emotion into anything. Maybe you half-arse. Maybe you settle for whatever comes down the pipe. Do others have to? I don't think so, not if the other party is ready and willing.

Amazon is willing, it seems, so all right then. EA and Bioware have accepted terms so why fuss? Do you just want to sit there and be all 'disgusted' and 'elitist'?

When life doesn't give them what they want, maybe they'll do something about it instead of sobbing in a cubicle, who knows. Life is full of mystery and wonder. Some people take it by the balls, other people are more subtle. And others simply lay down and die like sickly animals waiting to be culled by wolves or whatever.

As a business and a company they are now viewed as pushovers. Im talking about Bioware. Instead of sticking to there guns with that terrible ending they are basically giving in because people truly can't accept the sh!tty ending that was ME3. It will make me laugh tho when it will be announced as PAID dlc :lol:

Sidenote, The way your talking makes it sound like your young, so Ill just say this: stuff like a video games aren't worth fighting and crying for. Not to this level. It's scary what people consider what is "worth fighting for".

Anything you care about is worth fighting for (family, friends, career, hobbies), and i'm most definitely not young. People who sit around and take dissapointment and shrug it off annoy me as apathy gets you nowhere.

In a way this fan protest is a testament to the quality of the Mass Effect universe and its story, background and characters. To see fans riled up over a bad ending (which is common in the videogame industry) just shows how emotionally invested in the complex universe and how much the fans care about the Mass Effect universe that they want to see it done justice to in a form of an excellent ending.

Think of it like how people got emotionally invested in Star Wars, and was outraged with the treatment that Lucas gave to the series by making Phantom Menace.

gamers are starting to get to spoiled they have to realize that the world doesn't revolve around them and just because you didn't like a part of something you can't return it to get your money backelbert_b_23

The games industry does in fact revolve around gamers...

Hint: If they don't buy games, why make them?

This is just pathetic. The ending isn't that bad, honestly the only thing it lacked was a bit of explanation afterwards of what happened to the galaxy, but over all it was fine. People keep complaining about how the choices dont have much effect on the end are thinking about the whole picture.

May Contain Spoilers:

The whole game of Mass Effect 3 is the ending. Your choices burn alliances or build alliances, save some people or kill some people. The ending is purely getting rid of the reapers that cannot be fought by traditinal means. Look at all the effort that it takes just to take down 1 reaper, now do that for hundreds and hundreds of reapers. Yes the Mass Relays get destroyed, but think, your choices effect the fate of the Krogan, space travel or not doesn't matter, the fact that after the reapers are gone they can either die out or be able to repopulate based on your choices. All these choices do matter, Bioware just isn't guiding you in the last cutscene, it's what our imaginations are for. My shepherd cured the genophage, so that means I saved the Krogan Race and know that they will prosper. I saved earth so Humans will still prosper and so on.

Sure it wasn't the worlds greatest ending, but I don't remember people trying to Return Halo 2 or raise petitions or whatever because of it's awful cliffhanger ending.

Also look at all the community talk about the ending (the good not negative) People coming up with Indoctration Theories and debating it, people coming up with there own ideas on the ending. I think thats what Bioware wanted, but the rabies rabid fanbase got their underwear all twisted up instead.

Wow. Mass Effect fans suck.

Watch this theory video on ME3's ending. My opinion of the ending changed drastically after watching this:

I might have been a little harsh, even on Dozer, which i didn't mean too

but this, a video game ending, isn't something that is worth fighting for to the point of calling the FTC.

Sooo ME3 its like the most hated ending of all time? i could see worst.

Lmao.

BioWare really painted a target on themselves and screamed "PLEASE NUKE US" with all the ME3 controversies :lol:

Too bad I haven't had the time to play ME3 yet.

Considering how you have absolutely no influence on how the story unfolds when watching a movie i don't see how they're comparable.

People also don't tend to lie about the content of a movie pre-release, and movies have no real interaction with the viewer. ME was a game of choices that were promised to mean something, but really boiled down to meaning nothing...

I still say this would be made a lot easier if they'd just support modding and didn't make promises that they couldn't keep.

And I don't mean to 'tinfoilhat' this, but it does almost seem like it was done on purpose to try to coax more money out of 'us', I mean.. Jevik wasn't a throw away character like that muscle head was(can't even remember his name), and they put him out as a cash grab.
