The more I think about it, the more I'm afraid that Biowares explanation for Shepard beeing alive on Earth will be: "Well, the fancy Space Magic Explosion trow him straight into the beam back to London!"

The question is:
Is it really a hallucination or is everyone just convincing themselves of that so they don't have to face reality?

You don't want Bioware to have given you the worst game ending they could have gone with, so you want to believe that there's more, that they didn't simply mess up.

Only time will tell. Here's hoping that it isn't the latter. :)

Doesn't seem legit, I mean pre-order dlc weapons in Multiplayer?

The only thing legit here is that there will be a MP dlc with some new Races.

The more I think about it, the less I fear this to be true.
Along with all of the other things in this thread, notice that Shep is no longer in full armor when s/he gets "ported" up to the citadel. Also note that in the ending where Shep lives, s/he IS in full armor when s/he wakes up, and that s/he isn't in a very convenient spot for "magic teleportation" - rather, s/he is amidst a bunch of rubble, and not exactly on top of it.

Also, this thread has blown my mind, and I was moderately happy with my ending.

I'm pretty sure that said if were already an owner of the pre-order weapons.

Still, it's nice to see. I will remain VERY skeptical of it, though.

If this is the truth, not saying it is, just thinking out loud here, imagine this:
By April or May I suspect many people would burnt their copies of ME3 and uninstalled it from their PC, and then the only thing that'll allow them to play ME3 again is gonna be Origin...

Origin is now also the only legal way on PC.

1)In Arrival if you die with the timer going off, Shep's mind likes to show him a random collection of images dealing with the Reapers and his friends or people he knows in a location together that there is no way they can be together.
2)Two of the options are basically the same speech that was given by a Reaper and someone that was indoc.
3)Harbringer has proven that he can project his image all the way from deep space

Right. There'd be 'some' protest there. And Bioware would risk seriously pissing off part of its fanbase, no matter what they have planned, if they keep quiet like this for much longer. They have to react in the next few days, unless they want to risk serious consequences. They've already alienated a good bunch of people and it can only get worse from here on out. They better clear this up soon.

Also, I'm not sure that sounds legit. Wishful thinking says yes, but it sounds just that little bit exaggerated, so I think it's just trolling.

Using the ending of the game as real-time player-experienced indoctrination.

Imagine if you will that in 2 months, Bioware releases a free bit of DLC (which they already have ready for release and have been planning this way all along) in which all of this is revealed. The special Shepard breathing sequence that we've seen would thus be a teaser.

This would probably go down as one of the greatest game mechanic mind-f*cks of all time, right up there with that MGS controller switch thing back in the day. It would be epic, and its in line with what Bioware have been tweeting that "If people knew what was in the pipeline, the reactions would be very different".

Juuust saying.


Agreed, it would literally go down as one of the most compelling game stories ever written.

If this really is their plan, would the reason for requiring Origin in order to play ME3 be to track the ratio of completed games so that Bioware would know when it would be the right time to do their big reveal?  Maybe Bioware planned this all from the beginning, and had to require Origin in order to keep track of how many people have finished the game so that Bioware would know when to release the actual conclusion.  And they'd know how many times each of the three choices was selected, so they would know how successful their indoctrination was.

If they pull it off, real-time player indoctrination and then surprise all of us with a new conclusion, RuffHouse798 is right; it'll go down in history as the most daring piece of interactive art ever made, taking what video games can be to a level of interactivity between player and developer that no one had thought possible.

This is a huge risk, something that only an event like ME3 would give anyone an opportunity to do, and if Bioware can pull it off...  I'll take back every piece of skepticism and criticism I've leveled at them these last couple of days, and instead I'll get up in front of my monitor and give them a standing ovation.

Yep, the numbers are thinning... Both of my friends which played mass effect, and loved it... finished me3 yesterday, they both un-installed the entire series...including deleting the saves, from their miscontent...

The problem is that they can't announce things they don't have.
I mean all we hear from Twitter is things like don't burn your copies now, but every developer would advise you too keep and play his game if you ask him...
Also I think they prefer this positive and constructive threads like this one compared to 100% rant threads so they don't stomp on it.

After reading through all of this I can't help but feel like this could infact be the biggest plot twist in a video game ever to be made, and if it's true then Bioware has gone where no one has gone before. Real life involvement mixed with a game. Too bad I chose to control the reapers, guess I was indoctrinated. :P

But what about us console players? We don't run the game through Origin :?

Yes we do :P
You log into an origin server when you start up the game.

If you have no internet connection, then you don't exist to them.

I guess.

I dunno. Point is, we log into origin on console .-.

Still could be just an "Awesome" Omega dlc or something...
They could believe that by making the game better, people would forget the ending.
The problem is, tha game is already brilliant.

God I hope I'm so wrong...

I just think all the evidence seems to indicate the game ending is gonna change with DLC and that the fact that they're changing it after the fact could be a deliberate game mechanic (I hope)

If this really was the plan, Bioware employees must be laughing their arses off right now... I imagine it must be quite fun to watch the rage. At the same time, the reaction it generated is probably completely unexpected, but hey, at least something good came out of all of this (Child Play).
