Ending patch? Sure. Ending DLC? No - I'm not going to spend more money when Bioware just demonstrated that they can't deliver a satisfying ending.



My suspicion is they delibeatly did it to sell DLC.  But I'm a cynic.

Yeah, I have to ask what the point of DLC is if it doesn't change the outcome.

It "enhances" your gaming experience.

No seriously. That's what most DLCs do. Map packs, weapon packs, alternate outfit packs... all to enhance your gaming experience. Tired of your squadmates looking like crap? Enhance your game with this new alternate outfit pack! 


LotSB was a great DLC (except that rock falling on the second squadmate (ur LI?) while Shep dives for Liara part...oversight in the writing there). And The Arrival wasn't a bad transition towards ME3. Appearance/weapon packs tend to be promotional freebies for different bundles or stores. Hopefully, there will be at least one well-written DLC that really contributes to the story. A better ending? They should.

Well, yeah. DLCs with extra quests like LotSB, Overlord, and Arrival are great. But the typical DLCs these days are weapon packs or map packs.

I have a feeling a lot of the DLC will be for the multiplayer.

I wouldn't be surprised if they cut some endings for use as DLC. I sure as hell won't buy them though.

DLC's? From Ashes is bad enough, but do people have so little self respect that they'll pay in hopes of getting a better ending?

Tali was my LI, but I always took Thane on LotSB. Give him a chance to participate in hunting down the last person who played a role in his wife's death. Plus, when Throw was combined with Liara's Singularity, you could send entire transports of SB agents tumbling off the roof of Azure... almost looked like fireworks... *cough*

Anyway, yes. If they really want to sell DLC in bulk, they'll expand our ending options. "Walk away" would be my preferred one. I myself reject the concept, but if the singularity is inevitable, so be it. The Reapers can clean up after we've wiped ourselves out if they're so inclined, but don't protect us from the consequences of our own actions. Leave the choice up to us. Just give us something where the Normandy doesn't wind up at the ass-end of nowhere for no reason and 90% of the furor here would be gone.

And I say screw that. I wasn't interested in multiplayer to begin with. Less so, now that we know what endings we're sattled with.

From what I hear as it stands the multiplayer if you make the right choices and play well has a better ending than singleplayer.

The team gets extracted by a shuttle and rides off into the score screen.

Yes, I've seen alot of posts saying they'd buy it. I think there were some threads made about it too.

It's surprising that we don't have more videos up or more concrete information considering the number of people who have either data mined or played the Space/Early Release copies. Yes, we've all seen the horror that is the "Destroy" ending without enough EMS points, and we've watched the SyFy Channel level of acting that is the Catalyst sequence. However, we still don't have footage from endings with 4000+ EMS points nor has any information been posted as to what occurs in the new game plus if, in fact, anything *does* even occur.

Safe to say we won't get anything more until at least a day or so after the 6th, but this is going to be a hard wait, especially considering that the final verdict will decide not only if I'm going to buy this (strong chance that I won't) but if I'll ever even go anywhere near another BioWare game or even keep the ones I already own. (Sigh) Patience is not one of my virtues...



There have been a number of streams and there's at least one guy posting his early release playthrough on YouTube. It's painfull to watch those people play though.


Can you PM me the link to this dudes Youtube vids of his ME3 playthrough?

Unless things have changed from the Demo, I have first hand experience.

You guys aren't actually taking me seriously are you?

He's referring to the MP wave defence minigame, e.g. as seen in the demo

Yeah, I can't be made into a videogame b***h and pay for an ending. I could've handled a weak ending if there were better story and dialogue to help it limp along.

I have an idea for an ending dlc: ME3: Blue Box. Liara and co convince the Doctor to go back in time and stop Bioware from writing a crap ending.

No I'm not... that's how every multiplayer round ends. Well that's the best ending. The worst ending is apparently you just hear over the radio "Well we're done here." and they don't even have the decency to collect your corpses. There's also other endings up to three of the team may not make it to the end. The worst ending in my opinion is where someone is incapacitated right in front of the shuttle, and apparently you couldn't help them up or drag them on.

He could probably end the entire war by pointing his screwdriver at that kid...

And multiplayer would get daleks and cybermen, which would be awesome.
