Just right click in origin on game and than "repair"

The 13.8GB appear for short time, than it,s 10GB


The 2 DVDs on the boxed version contain 14GB roughly, the extra of which is localization data for other languages. It just determines that you're using english and doesn't install nonessential languages until needed.

I've mentioned this before, but I've done a search through the game files and there's no hidden ending, no extra movies, and only a few unused dialogue clips (nothing related to the Catalyst child.)

On a semi-related note, this thread moves too fast for my comments to be relevant by the time I've posted. :|

Ok lets not take this Mac Walters bashing any farther. We're basing this on a "A guy I know in Bioware said" rumor and as of yet we have no reliable way of telling what went on with the ending. Keep it civil guys, if you feel he's being patronizing on twitter then don't respond to him. If they deliver an ending that makes sense I don't really care if a Celestial Tree Sloth came up with it.



Actually one of the other writes wrote a Tweet saying that it was Walters who wrote the ending, 3-4 days ago.

I saw some of the Tweets, and am cautiously willing to give Bioware the benefit of the doubt. I just hope they realize the longer they wait the worse this will get, and the less forgiving.

All this "spoiler free" talk generates hope, but at the same time could be a time-buying tactic. I just want some way for a real ending with a final boss fight and Shepard reuniting with LI and crew.


All the "spoiler-free" talk just makes me angry. It insinuates that they had something up their sleeves to begin with, thus they knew they were giving us an incomplete product. Then on top of that, they used false advertising (promising our choices mattered) to get us to buy that incomplete product. That is just ****ing dirty business sense right there. And if their ace in the hole turns out to be DLC we have to pay for... well, that'll just be the nail in the coffin.


You know, all this has made me wonder about the nuclear option. If their interviews can be taken to be advertising, I wonder if it can be argued in a court of law if they are guilty of false advertising.

At this point, with all the negative publicity Mass Effect 3 is getting quite literally EVERYWHERE, I believe it's only a matter of time until something is done. Barely over a week since release, and stocks have dropped, game prices have dropped, and everything short of riots have occurred.
Any Bioware/EA statement saying we're just going to have to deal with it is the equivalent of the Council denying Reaper existence. They're going to get royally screwed in the long run.

Am I the only one who gets some satisfaction watching their stock prices get lower and lower?

Well, I am no financee, but what I see is a normal fluctuation:
finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=EA

PS: reached $40k !


The volume over the past 5 days and the dip (filter that page by 5 days and it's most evident).  You can see the day the game came out, and then the subtle plummet back to 'normal'

I was just starting to get motivated to continue me ME3 playthrough. Then I realize there's a hockey game starting soon.

Sorry Montreal, you're going down.

BSN 40k: Hold the line!
In the grim darkness of the present endings, there are only color choices.... On the bright side, should have a lot of kids who got dealt a crap hand able to be a little happier.

This.
If we're going to start raging and insulting, we're not going to be taken seriously. Keep it civil.

When in doubt, remember: Paragon choices.

Same haha.. That and the Red October "They won't detect us unless we start singing the Soviet National Anthem" cracked me up so hard.


That was pretty funny all the little puns made to the series and others her funny as hell.


Personally I loved the Starwars reference in Jacobs mission. "First shuttle away!" "Huzzah!"

meh.. was watching B5 last night, and realized, B5 = ME3.. The shadows = The reapers, Sinclair = Shapard, alliance = alliance, Earth first = cerberus, Centurans = Krogan, etc.. The likeness is just amazing..

Yep.  Right down to the paraphrase of the "Now get the hell out of our galaxy!" line.  sigh...

at this point I don't think I even care any more.  What can Bioware possibly offer now that makes up for the fact that I wasted all those hours, paying full price for a half-assed product, the 5 minutes of staring at the screen going "WTF?" after, and all the bull---- and coy tweets and ... ugh.  Stop impressing yourself with your own cleverness, IT FAILED.  ALL YOU DID WAS RUIN PEOPLE'S EVENINGS WHEN THEY FINISHED THE GAME, and left us all with a bad taste in our mouths, and now you're continuing to act like it was the best idea ever by DRAGGING IT OUT MORE?

I'm about ready to forget the whole thing, and really just want to cancel my swtor account and uninstall every Bioware game I own.  Just be done with it.  This is so **** stupid.

It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling I have to say.  Not to mention it gives teeth to the warning that screwing over a beloved series is bad buisness.

I have to say that EA have had it coming for ages, but I would hate for Bioware to go under because to be honest, the ending was the only bad thing about this game, the rest of it was perfect. Plus look back at their record of games and you will see that they have all been great (except maybe DA2). It's just a shame that Bioware either ran out of time for the ending or wanted to keep out the ending spoilers. Hopefully they can heal their reputation slightly with a fantastic ending DLC.

If that bit about Mac Walters is true, I think I just found a new subject for my hatred other than Matt Ward.

If its true, I hope Bioware learned its lesson to never trust his writing ability again with a project of this scope. Stick him in a back room to file paperwork or something, with very little light and alot of rats for company


What about him? 


He's the one who wrote the ending as well as that train-ride of a DLC (Arrival).

Hey, ld1449, no personal attacks remember? Even if you don't see your post as an attack someone in charge could so it's always safe to err on the side of caution, no?

Checking in. Any real progress made yet?

Hasn't Shepard at least earned the possibility of such an ending?


Absolutely, and so have we after passionately sticking with this series. I'm more inclined to go with the 'stall them, and this will all blow over. They'll get over it' theory.


It does seem the more likely...but then I move back to the anger/depression cycle.

At least for now I can listen to "I Was Lost Without You" from the soundtrack and feel depressed and at the same time happy about how the scenes with Kaidan played out. So fantastically well written.

Also thinking of Mordin's sacrifice, and how well written that was. It actually made me cry a bit when he said his last line.


I still cant undestand the "no spoiler" thing. Are they meaning that for the Japan release, or it's for some dlc to come and explain everything?
God, I'm still hoping for my Shepard to settle down with Kaidan at Vancouver.
I'm holding the line guys!
