So... odds that they'll clarify why the Normandy was the only ship damaged by the Space Magic? Or why EDI gets out of the ship sometimes in the Red ending?

My money's on nil.

Wait, EDI can sometimes live in the red ending?

*facepalm*

Cannot wait for that clarification DLC...

What utter hogwash. Don't thank the hand that slaps you.

I am torn on the announcement actually - I mean did we win? No. Did we lose? no. Seems like a comprmise - here are the things I took from the announcement that I like actually:

1) Ending DLC is free so there is no financial risk involved.
2) Sounds like they will be beefing up the ending cinematics to make the endings more customized, which I take as more visuals of our "war assets" in action - maybe get to see a Rachni ship in the final battle by example...
3) at least we will get more dialogue on the citadel, if nothing else with Anderson and TIM...perhaps we can ask starchild how synthesis is any better than siding with Saren?
4) more clarity on exactly what happened to the crew and where they went and how the squadmates got to the Normandy will almost certainly be explained.
5) post ending epilogue slides ala DAO will at least give us closure to the NPC characters...

what I do not like about the announcement is

1) Endings still suck unfortunately, in particular synthesis which as it stand is still Space Magic.

What can still be done to make things better under the framework we got and that is realistic at this point:

1) Extend the Shepard breathes scene to make it definitive Shepard is alive and make that ending available in SP by providing the proper number of war assets in SP

2) Create a rescue the crew DLC that is available to anyone who has an alive Shepard...

They will just add cinematics to clarify and give closure

Well, IF that will be it, and IF it's final, I'll download it, but it will be the last thing I'll get from BW. And it will be a very sad day. But I can't accept an "explanation". They can be proud as much as they like. It's their right. Don't get me wrong, they do have many, many reasons to be proud of. But the endings are not among those. And they can keep their pride. I'll keep mine elsewhere.

Hey Comp... *sighs* so how are you feeling after the storm of texts and what not from earlier?

As usual a false link to protecting a fortune 500 company that would not p*ss on you if you were on fire.  Good job.

Here here, Computim. I was extremely disappointed in the endings because of the plotholes, the lack of clarity and the lack of closure. I wasn't thrilled about the AI kid either but those things were at the top of my list. Right now, I'm just going to wait and see what these endings entail. If they still damage the universe as I felt they did before, that will be the end of Mass Effect for me. If not, huzzah!
Yes, my faith in Bioware will be shaken because I will personally feel they failed to properly close out the epic story they created. This is no different then saying, "Man I don't know if I'm going to see the next Steven Spielberg film in the theaters because the last few were just awful." (Spielberg's just an example, I don't know if his last few have really been awful.)
I have also been upset with some of these past quotes I've seen from developers, such as the ABC ending. I'm not forgetting that. There has just been a lot of doom and gloom surrounding this announcement but a wise man named Eric Idle once said, "Always look on the bright side of life." One reason I refuse to give up all hope is because I remember that up until that last 10 minutes, we got a fantastic game. 
Now, I'm not saying the revised ending will be work. I don't know. I'm still skeptical after what we got. I just hope we can keep things civil and not freak out too much until we get a bit more information. After all, what do we know? We know there will be an epilogue, yes? What will be in the epilogue? Who knows? We'll see.
I just think it's ok to be skeptical but it's too early to condemn something we know very little about.

God, I feel like an idiot. Despite my best efforts, I seem to have allowed myself to get my hopes up. And I've been screwed again. My own fault, really. I should have known better.

One part of the press statement that brings me hope that IT (or similar)  may
still be on the cards is this 'An official press release went out today
announcing how we are re-prioritizing the Mass Effect 3 post release
content schedule to provide a more fleshed out experience for our fans', it seems (to me at least) that this may have
been planned all along just not for release this early (maybe originally planned as the last piece of DLC to 'conclude the story) , but due to the
fan reaction they have decided that it needs to be brought forward- my
last piece of hope is holding on by a thread !

Hey!  I posted a big long thing a couple pages back that explains it a lot better.. as for the texts, it amused most of my colleagues at work, and enamoured me with the Social Media person we have there.  Just happy I don't get charged by the incoming message lol.  I guarantee I didn't wake up expecting it, honestly I think someone at EA released it accidentally before the official announcement was supposed to come out later today or tomorrow.  It just didn't seem organized enough of a release and I think we kinda surprised them with how quickly we all came together immediately after it lol.

That would be reasonable if Bioware was in the business of giving us information. They seem not to like to tell us anything, though.

Well that news threw me for a few hours but Im pretty resolved to get the news out on this now. I suggest folks hit up forums and the like to explain exactly how bioware are failing here. Their PR machine is in full swing to shut us down, but Im not going to let them win that easy.

Off now, got two gaming forums and a gaming group to discuss this with. Clarification indeed, they really think we are idiots.

Same here, I believed in Bioware, believed in the fact that they would do right by their consumer base. I just kept believing...

Now I feel so betrayed that I'm hoping Bioware goes bankrupt. They'll see how much their so called "artistic integrity" is worth then...
