Quote:Mass Effect 3's ending apparently could be labeled as false advertising, according to Better Business Bureau Communications Director Marjore Stephens.

Full Story: BioWare Technically 'Falsely Advertised' Mass Effect 3

idk, to my understanding, there are things that occur within all three things that completely change the outcome of the game. What about the fact that characters will die based on your choices, and are forever gone? is that not in a sense "Completely changing the experience and outcome"? I honestly don't see where Bioware did any false advertising even on a technical basis.

But it doesn't completely change the outcome because the same outcome happens regardless of whether your characters are alive or dead.

Don't you *choose* which ending you get? Because that right there is Bioware and EA's defense...

The majority of characters that die are never mentioned in the game's endings. Additionally, the sacrifices these characters made were pretty much made moot as a result of the ending.

Stephens has a point, one of the bigger issues of ME3's ending is that it didn't deliver what Bioware advertised. There are certainly other issues with the ending...but that's another discussion.

Without going into spoilers, that choice is pretty much an illusion. Deus Ex: Human Revolution suffered from the same problem.
