If you're wondering, 20 hours in (I've been playing it for pretty much all the time I have spare), and I can only find ONE thing that relates to anything homosexual. You have one member of the Normandy who is gay. And then he's hardly open about it.

Doubtless it'll matter, as the various axes are being ground publicly here, but this is how you find out.

Fuck spoiler tags as well.


Lt Steve Cortez left his husband during the first Reaper assault on the world that they lived. He had to leave the love of his life, to basically be slaughtered, and knew that there was nothing he could do about it. His husband was too badly wounded to be of any use to the Alliance, and wasn't in any kind of military position, so didn't get a medical evacuation.

How do you find this out? You walk into the shuttle bay, to find Cortez listening to the recording, crying. Even playing through as a male Shepard, there's no option to offer any kind of assistance that even borders on moving away from the extremely homophobic stance that the vocal fucking retards in the gaming community have.



And now you know. So once again, fuck your spoiler tags, and seriously, even before the game came out, you had the preconception that because one writer in a team wrote something "icky", that the entire story would be undermined because of it.


This is the very reason why I don't read press previews, and it's certainly a major reason why I end up paying hard earned money to play things that I wouldn't had dared to previously, just because they didn't fit in with my preference of MMO, RPG, and RTS.
It's also one of the reasons why I don't just read one source on a game that I'm thinking about buying. I wait until I can read a shitload of them, and then I'll make a choice.

You all had your choices made before the game was even fucking released.

Fuck this noise, I'm going back to ME3.

>everyone complaining we all said ME3 would be camper than a row of pink tents in Graham Norton's back yard because Hepler has made everyone a gay man and all weapons have been replaced by dildos and all spacesuits now have the arse part missing for ease of access and any/all action parts of levels are skippable by pressing "X" so you can just have more bumsex with aliens, and you coming to its rescue telling us we were all wrong

>everyone complaining Hepler hates playing games, loves gay fanfiction, and has openly admitted to trying to force more gay fanfic into games that have no real need for it as well as wanting more games to have a "skip action" button instead of a "skip speech" button, and you getting completely the wrong end of the stick


Sorry to be so blunt about this Adam, cos you're a sound guy and everything, and you gave a whole load of us access to that chat thing at work before you left, but for FUCKS sake, only ONE of the above is applicable in this thread, and you've for some fucking strange reason decided to plump for the first one.

NO-ONE HAS SAID SHIT ABOUT MASS EFFECT 3 BEING A HAVEN FOR BUMSEX, DOCKING, FELCHING, OR OTHER SUCH QUITE OBVIOUSLY IDIOTIC SHIT LIKE THAT.

WE'RE UNHAPPY THAT A WOMAN WHO HAS OPENLY SAID SHE HATES PLAYING GAMES AND LOVES WRITING HOMOSEXUAL SCI-FI SHORT STORIES IS TRYING TO USE HER JOB AS A GAMES WRITER TO FURTHER PUSH HER OWN AGENDA THAT GAMES SHOULD BE ALL STORY AND NO ACTION, AND WHERE POSSIBLE, HAVE MEN SUCKING EACH OTHERS DICKS.

Jesus fucking wept Adam, I really didn't want it to come to this, but you REALLY need to read what people are saying, and not what you want to hear.

Fuck this thread. I'm out too. No point having an adult debate with someone who is totally missing the point.

Actually, in retrospect, I'd actually buy that just for the giggles. But that still doesn't change shit.

The thing is, that all this talk about men sucking each others dicks... Yeah, that bit that I just cannot find in ME3. Every time I get back on the Normandy, I go back to speak to the shuttle guy, to see if there's anything else. Nothing. Every time. All I get is just "Shepard. Good to see you again".

No offer of dick sucking. Nothing.

Oh, and I found another same-sex thing. An Alliance soldier, after the attack on the Citadel, is asking where her Asari wife is.

You know, that race that is pretty open to what species they fuck, and regardless of what sex they are.


Also, Morinth. Lesbian. Relationship with a female human artist.

Protip: Jennifer Hepler didn't work on Mass Effect 2, and no one said fuck all about the overt lesbians.

Tell you what, I really cannot be fucked with this.

Lock my account, I'm out permanently. Homophobia, or hypocrisy, pick whichever one you'd prefer me to label the gaming community with, but I am officially done.

I literally have not seen anyone bitch about ME3 in this thread until Nubnos mentioned the bitching. :?

I just did a quick review of this entire thread, just in case I'm going mental.

Only one person mentioned ME3 other than Nubnos, and that was HGW, only to ask if she really was pushing her yaoi fanfic into it. I replied, saying that there are often threads on /v/ taking screencaps and posting links to where she's said outragous things about games, but nothing about ME3.

I even confirmed in one post to Ax that Hepler only worked on the DA games and SW:TOR.

But other than that, only Nubnos mentioned ME3.

Fable got more mentions than ME3, and even Uncharted got a mention.

Everyone else said (essentially) that Hepler was a writer, but her style is not suited to her current role.

So, what the holy fuck he's been smoking this weekend I have no fucking idea, but I'm pretty certain he needs to stop it.

Not that he's gonna be here to read this sage advice, but I can see he's already badmouthing us all on Twitter.

What a guy, eh?

Now here's another one.

I'm of the opinion she's DEFINITELY a shemale, but others state that this was not originally the plan, and that it only surfaced AFTER the whole gender swap for the US release thing happened.

The thing is, both outcomes are plausible (there was no mention of gender until she was changed in the US version), but I've always seen her as a dude.
