Honestly wondering how many gamers are just trying to cope they paid full price for a crap game with worse endings than Mass Effect 3?

I would argue, based on this description at least, it is far from that.

Mass effect 3s ending in it’s original form was not only a poor sendoff for the heroes, not only undid most of the mythology in the process, but indeed became the complete antithesis of some of the core themes of the series with it’s replacement of diversity and collaboration with homogeneity.

This ending while utterly mediocre and unfulfilling…seems at the very least kinda on brand actually.

mass effect 3 also managed to avoid having explicit antisemitism in any of their three choices

You’d think that’d be an incredibly low bar but here we are

Dagoth Ur’s opinion on the game

cw: misogyny against turbo-terf and calling someone using feminine pronouns a femboy

I’ve seen him read some chud rants where he goes off about argonians instead of black/hispanic people, but I also saw one with an Anarchist Ur who was going off about cops :shrug-outta-hecks:

this whole thing has been giving me real Ghostbusters (2016) marketing vibes, like the publisher leaned into it

I’m actually kind of amazed at how good the game turned out to be. Hear me out. This studio made shovelware for 20 years. This game, while mid, is on another scale. The studio must have been radically re-organized just for Hogwart’s Legacy, but it’s still brand new so of course it was all out of their depth.

I wonder why they didn’t just approach a real company with the IP. Is it because Rowling like her deal with WB? Is it because of creative control? Is it because WB went for the rights to make the games? I dunno. But hell Ubisoft would have probably done a better job at making an Ubisoft clone.

WB has made a lot of open world games based on licenses. Besides this game they did the Arkham and LOTR.

Hogwarts was made by avalanche software. Arkham was made by rocksteady.
