User blog comment:Jill-Valentine=A-Boss/ME3 ending really that big of a deal?/@comment-4237253-20120611161620/@comment-4950455-20120613214433

I think there still would have been a problem, because as noted elsewhere in this blog, "fan"doms have this tendency to complain as much as possible as often as possible (and frankly, the ending wouldn't be good no matter how much it was advertised). But from both a personal standpoint and an "objective" one, yes, the many false claims about the game went a long way towards making things worse.
