Garrus30, which part of the topic should I be looking at?

dunno, I'm not even sure that Jarrett meant the leaked ending or sth. else 
my head... 

He meant the leaked live-action trailer .. not the endings , I see people grasping at straws right now , just like I was some hours ago !

Jarrett was talking about a new commercial that was previously leaked. It had nothing to do with the game ending.

Do commercials have 'beta tester's, though? (really, I'm asking.)

Apparentlly they do.

Ha, the marketing quotes thread got locked.

Well actually he's just saying 'tester', not 'beta tester'. I must have made the latter up.

Spent too much time here, over the past two days.

According to Jarret Lee - BW 's Edmonton, Canada rep:

Now, BioWare's Jarret Lee has revealed these might be the last big details about its story that we'll see until its release.

According to a thread on NeoGAF, the developer confirmed on the BioWare forums that the story of Mass Effect 3 won't receive plenty of details, in order to keep spoilers from appearing on the web and ruining the first experience of gamers.

"I've seen the stuff in store for you guys in Mass Effect 3," Lee said. "Be excited, be very excited. Also, other than the attack on Earth, I think we'll try harder this time not to spoil things for you. By the time the game ships you'll be mad about the lack of story info.

Man, Bioware has some really unreliable testers.

1) Bioware does not want people ask for more Shepard Mass Effect games. This is why they do not allow a happy ending.

They could just have Shepard die no matter what, in all endings, but have the galaxy (and relay network) survive. Then, fans get a bittersweet ending (after all, the player character is dead), fans get a happy ending (after all, galactic civilization survived the reaper threat without losing the relays, and everyone can build for the future), Bioware gets rid of Shepard, and EA gets a viable intergalactic civilization in which to have Bioware set a ME MMO.

Everyone wins with this outcome, yet they wouldn't do this. <_<

It was quite enjoyable to read.

And so they instead have people asking for a better ending. Oh the irony.

Not smart I know.

Lee, Edmonton, Canada BW rep further added: "Thing is what makes Mass Effect awesome is the story - it's packed with major and minor plot points. Selling it as awesome only by talking about basic game features can be difficult - but we may see a move towards that this time. It seems though that if we don't say enough about story, people jump to negative conclusions quickly. At any time, we'll keep a lid on stuff."

That, and we've already been aware since ME1 that this would be the last entry in Shepard's story. They don't need to completely broadside us with these sorts of endings to get that point across, as most have already made their peace with that fact.

No its just like Halo 3 Bungie got tired of Master Chief and wanted to work on something else so they stranded him out in space. MS probably told them if they killed off master chief they won't get any bonuses, so they didn't show his death.

But at least he and Cortana were together. If Halo ended like ME3, the Chief would die on the Ark while Cortana is stuck on the Forward Unto Dawn with the Arbiter.

When did he say that ?

RP talk for "If only you knew what waits for you at the end, you wouldn't buy it." ?

Alright, this has probably been asked a hundred times, but I can't find the answer anywhere - is there really a confirmation that there is no post-mission DLC?

[Bebbe777]

Seems I only want to play this game once, while I played ME1 and ME2 multiple times because the endings are DIFFERENT.

It's this a joke cause it's really funny.

[Ihatebadgames]

Is it just me or does the end of ME3 look like the end of DA 2 in the making no sense whatsoever dept?

[Jaron Oberyn]

They're closing threads now. Wow. I'm still bummed out about this. To spend this much time in this series, 5 years, to have it end like this? With no other alternates? Really? Cme on bioware, either come out and say there is a somewhat happy ending, or make one via dlc, this is such a letdown. The biggest since da2. You built up all of these characters and investments just to separate them and have them stranded!? That's not good writing, that's just intentionally angering the fans!

Yeah it is really funny because these endings have about as much variety as Mass Effect 1 and 2 did. 
ME1: Kill council or dont
ME2: Save Collector Base or Dont.
ME3: Shpard Dies or doesn't/ galaxy lives or doesn't

Wait... OYG!!!  There's more ending variety in ME3 than in ME 1 or 2.  SHOCK!!!

Do you know why there was less variety in the first 2? Because they were building up to the third ME  , genius.

Oh but they want to change the setting and discourage fans from thinking of the old setting. Create a setting where it would be impossible for Shepard to take part in another game even if fans cry for it. They cut the cord... instead of untying the knot so to speak.

ME2: The whole team survives/Most of the team survives/Half of the team survives/Some of the team survives/A few of the team survives and Shepard reunites with the Normandy and it's crew/No one survives and Shepard dies.
