A tweet seems to suggest they are only going to clarify/add on, NOT change the endings.

Bioware has apparently learnt NOTHING from the disaster of DA2 then or are even listening to us.

It's like they're saying "Okay, you don't like starchild, let me tell you WHY you should like starchild."


Everyone has been put-off tonight by that tweet. But really, its just a tweet. That's how I'm looking at it anyways.

Just to throw in my two cents, destroying organic life in order to "save" it is stupid. It just is.
Joker also shouldn't be fleeing, that makes no sense in any way.
My biggest problem is the destruction of the Mass Effect Relays. That darned kid lied to me when he only said one ending choice would destroy the Mass Effect Relays. Why would the 'synthesis' ending make all the Mass Effect Relays explode? I thought the whole point of synthesis was that you're combining organic and synthetic life and not destroy anything?


THe control option shouldn't destroy the relays either. You'd think you would just send out a signal. Cerebrus was very close to controlling the Reapers w/o thinking to destroy the relays.

Well, if that ends up being the approach they take, it will sure be interesting to find out how one clarifies nonsense. I can use that at work!

I believe it would be this tweet: http://i40.tinypic.com/3484qv8.png

But it's not really an official statement, so I wouldn't put too much stock into it.

Something else I noticed that might support the indoctrination theory-- we all know he kid disappears in the beginning without a sound. Strangely enough, when they're evacuating people, no one even tries to help him into a shuttle, like they don't even see him there.

Or maybe I'm just grasping at straws and hoping the theory is true.

Not an official statement huh? Clarify and add closure. Could be awesome, possibly.

No Sir/Ma'am I haven't finished the contracts for our client yet - but through the innovative use of Space Magic the client will now give us money without the need for contracts.

This post will be buried soon. This is still such a hot-button issue. I only just beat the game though.

I'll just throw me voice in the choir of us who loved this game SO much only to see it collapse on itself at the pivotal ending. I don't like the ending. None of them make sense, give closure, or affirm any of my previously pain-staking choices about how I'd help shape this galaxy I've come to love.

So many promises that are impossible to keep, so many beloved friends I've personally doomed by my actions in the ending, so many hopes and dreams crushed, and so much misery brought about.

The ending of the game was not what my Shepard would have done. He would have resisted the demand to conform to only three options. He would have done what he has always done; defied everyone that told him he couldn't do things the way he would want. We got no option for that, no chance to use logic, no option to question and investigate, no resolution to our play style.

I don't know what happened, but in the final moments of the game MY Shepard disappeared and some strange new Shepard I was unfamiliar with showed up and made choices I didn't agree with.

And maybe that'd be fine for ONE ending, but it's insulting to play every game to 100%, buy every DLC, do every mission, get every achievement, buy every tie-in comic and downloadable game, and carefully make my paragon choices, only to get the same bloody ending that any nitwit could get if he rushed through everything and played as a full-on satanic renegade. The same ending at the end. The OPTION to have a meaningful ending was denied to us, and the sad things is, the entire franchise has thrived on giving players those options.

ME3 is one of my favorite games of all time. If it weren't for the ending, it WOULD be my favorite game of all time. It's not, though. It can't even surpass ME1 and ME2. It all boils down to the finale of the game, the last lingering moments the game gives us.

Rather than finishing the game with my friends by my side and fighting for them, I instead have all that I love stripped away from me and replaced with a series of brand new faces I've never seen before, care nothing about, and serve only to muddle and confuse what had been a very clever, epic narrative.

I'm disappointed. Very disappointed. The galaxy is far worse off, and it saddens me to know that no matter what, my Shepard became an active participant in giving nearly the entire galactic civilization a death sentence and crushing their dreams of fighting for and reclaiming their homeworlds and their people's futures. It's not sad, or bittersweet... it's just hollow and empty and frustrating and insulting.

Which, again, is so much worse considering everything up to those final 10 minutes was such a joyous, perfected, emotional experience.

You could be right but the cynic in me says it was done that way to keep the focus on the boy and keep the visual connection between him and Shepard.

We made the third largest Israeli WRITTEN newspaper!

It's a one page story in the weekend extra, but it's still a great articlt.
basicly they say that the ME universe is awsome and complex, and that 2.9 of the games are great, and that the fans are outraged about the end of the third game.

Can't post a link because its printed sorry... you will just have to take my word for it

Well it could just mean that they're not changing the whole ending as some people have requested. Maybe they're just adding new options to the existing ending?

Hello good people :-)

The question is, what is the "addititional content" they are talking about on their twitter account? It could mean anything from a 3 second scene showing the Normandy taking the squadmates on board (more likely) to whole new additional endings (less likely).

Any hints or clues in the last 100 pages? :-D

Apologies if linked to before, but I thought this was just an amazing treatise on what's really problematic about the ME3 ending:

http://jmstevenson.w...-mass-effect-3/

Highly recommended.
