Because RPGs based around choice really benefit from boss battles. That's why the Human Revolution boss fights were well-received by the gaming community.
That has nothing to do with why the Human Revolution bosses were bad. They were bad because they were developed third-party and turned out incongruous and imbalanced. There's no reason at all that "choice-based" gameplay (kinda debatable anyway since your choices turned out not to fucking matter in this case) should necessarily preclude boss encounters.

I don't think this game needed a boss, but I would've appreciated one anyway. It's a convention I enjoy. That's a preference.

if you don't take what you've learned and apply it to a penultimate challenge which combines all the things you've mastered then why are you even playing a game?

to have vaguely sexual scenes of stiff alien love?

snoozeville

anecdote: I was watching a movie with a friend yesterday and I noticed he had the ME3 game box.
Me: you've been playing mass effect 3?
Him: yeah
Me: I heard a lot of nerds have been raging over the ending
Him: well this game literally couldn't be worse than mass effect 2 so I don't care

there you have it, ME3 > ME2

The ending to Mass Effect has been compared to Dickens, Bach, and DaVinci in terms of demanding respect. I should play it before they change it to see what sort of brilliant masterpiece all of my choices lead up to.

Lots of apologists, who think its art and the culmination of the artist's true vision. From the "art is subjective, every child's drawing is beautiful" school.

Demanding change is a bit silly, but not because the work demands respect.

Yahtzee finally got around to reviewing it, but his review was kind of boring IMO.  It's like he knew everyone already hated it or was dissapointed in it, so he couldn't get as excited about trashing it Sad

The ending is bad, deal with it. Demanding a new one is ridiculous and Bioware ACEPTING and doing it is even more.

Thy finally stated that next patch will fix face import. Apparently they are on the certification process. Let's hope it doesn't take too long.

Hahah, read that. There is a (rather concealed) forum post that served as the coments section, quite conveniently.

We'd love to hear what you have to say.  Just, y'know, not me personally.  Because I'd rather put a bullet in my head than listen to one of you nerds.

When I commented they would be selling better endings as DLC I had intended that as a joke. Now I'm out of material.

I find this all hilarious.

Mass Effect is dumb guys. It's a dumb thing. It was always a dumb thing. Let's all forget about it and go swimming. Just... spread your arms out and float on top of the pool in the sunshine. It's fine its good its alright.
