@rhymesmatter aside from hardly being able to understand half of what you said I did get this one part. "The Reason that ppl are discontent with the ending is because they werent given the chance to ENJOY their Choices" What I am saying is that this is what happens in life. As for Katharsis it does this quiet well from what everybody is ranting and raving about the problem is that it didn't do it the way that they wanted it to. Even if it doesn't do what every wants it doesn't meant that it doesn't have Katharsis.
@rhymesmatter I understand why people are upset with the ending of the series but I explained that in a earlier comment on this page. You conception of art is very acute. It is true I haven't played the game or any of them for that matter but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it for what it has and how it tells a story. From listening to the comments and reading pages I can see that it ended in a way that wasn't bad, just not what everybody wanted. To me that is life, things don't always end up the way you want them too. @hirachio Thank you for understanding. All I have to say now is that you were apart of their story. You did shape the universe, make many important decisions, but ultimately you were still in their painting so to speak. You were still in their story, that you did very well help make and recreate time and time again. Even with that though you were in their universe, their story. That probably won't work for you so I go back to it representing life. You do everything you can but it won't always end up the way you worked toward. The way you wanted it too and that is just the way life is sometimes.
@rhymesmatter I think you don't understand. I have never played a bioware game before so I'm not a fanboy of them. I haven't seen the ending of the game or have I gone through what most gamers' have gone through and experienced the ending. What I am defending is the fact that this game and many other games are a piece of art. The initial product itself is art and DLC is exactly what it is; DLC. This content can be added if chosen by the audience. If you choose to download it then you choose to download it and do extra. DLC is not the original, it is extra. You can't take the extra and then judge the original based off of what was made after the fact. Look at Star Wars. Lucas has added and taken away from that series so much and yet the original is still great no matter how you look at it. Also look up game design and tell me what kind of schools come up. ART SCHOOLS, ART DEPARTMENTS OF SCHOOLS. Look up the different components that make up a game and they will all go back to ART SCHOOLS. If you ask developers they will tell you that what they do is because they want to do it and they love to do it. They don't do it for the money they do it and they have meaning behind almost everything they put into the game if not everything. Why do you think they have sketchbooks? Why do you think they put in extras that show off sketches and the process it took? It is art, no a collection of art put together to create one larger piece of art.
@MrSmarties I agree with you 100% I just wish other people could see that. So it didn't turn out the way some people wanted it too that doesn't mean that Bioware should change it. If anything it represents a real life situation. No matter what you do and how hard you try you just can't change something that is inevitable. You can try and push a building all you want. Your life could depend on pushing that building and you worked every muscle in your body to move it but by the end of it you just can't move that building and that is life. If anything this game shows you that you did all you could do but you just can't stop it; but does that mean the journey was for nothing? Did you not learn a lesson? Did you not grow from the experience. Video games are the ultimate form of art (kind of jumping around here) and this game series is one of the few that are a main factor in showing off what video games can really do.
@Quant1c This is a work of art. Writing a story is art, the music is art, the graphic design behind the game is art. A video game is a collection of art put together that forms something (hopefully) great. This game shouldn't be changed. I never played fallout but if they did change the ending then that is wrong and they shouldn't have changed it.
@mortis1982j keyword first hit. The service has improved since launch. I got it for free when it first launched and it was crap. I deleted my account and went about my way. After I heard that they made improvements I went back and it was significantly better.
