There are many who are upset about the endings, but isn't it in EA and BW's best interest to fix this?

If people can't stand the endings, it kills the replay value. Putting hours into a game, especially in this case, gives the player the expectation of an emotional payoff. When there isn't one, there is little to no desire to try again for an even better outcome. Our play time is an investement to save what we love, the galaxy as it is, and for some of us with Shepard still in it.

If everyone is feeling destroyed by the ending, how can they hope to sell any DLC? Why should I have any desire to go to Omega and fight off Cerberus if it makes no difference in the end? Sure I love Aria... but is it enough for me to keep playing? I'm not sure.
(I don't actually know if there is an Omega DLC,  but it makes sense.)

What I'm getting at is if EA/BW patch the endings, giving people the actual choice to finish Shepard's story the way they want, which is what the game has always been about, they will sell MORE DLC. People will have hope again and will buy more DLC in the coming year. If they don't fix the endings, their DLC will fail because no one will be willing to invest the time into three guaranteed hollow endings.

In the end, fixing the endings means more money for EA and BW in the long run, and isn't that what they want?

EDIT: Please note i am referring to them selling more pre-me3 ending DLC.

no,

DLC will be all PRE ending stuff. just more stuff to help with the finaly readyness.

How would that sell, if the entire series meant nothing, why would pre-mass effect 3 ending DLC?

[k8ee]

^ Exactly

Why play any pre-mass effect 3 ending DLC if it's all for nothing?

[Tamcia]

I don't care about prior ending DLC since I know it won't mean anything - it will still be a terrible ending so I won't torture myself like that.

[HKR148]

I won't buy any DLC if this is the end it will be according to the dev. Only reason why I've bought ME 1 and ME 2's DLC was because I believed they mattered.

[Luxuis_]

I already see a "Take Omega DLC" and I don't know if I will buy.

PS: The cost of defeating the Reaper was to high

If they want to make any money off the pre-me3 ending DLC, they need to fix the endings to make people want to play again. It just makes sense.

Which they didn't, sucks for us I guess. So my kind-hearted shepard saves David from a life of Cerberus torment or leaves him to be exploited by Cerberus by a renagade shepard, now......none of it even matters.

How do you see it? It's only even possible with one ending, and even then it would be ridiculous.

[Direwolf1618]

I think a retake Omega DLC is a given, I, and it seems a fair bit of people on the forums, will not be buying it unless they do something about the endings. I can't even bring myself to play the multiplayer much less another play through.

[k8ee]

Exaclty, why bother with the effort to take back Omega as there is no emotionally payoff, no reward, only the knowledge that Shepard and everyone's hope for the future is in vain.

All DLC with Pre-priority: Earth/ Priority: Cerberus Headquarters Mission.

Take Omega back before the ending, not after.

[k8ee]

but why bother if we're all screwed anyway?

you right, but the only thing they need to change is the "destroying of the Mass Relay"

[k8ee]

the three endings should have been one paragon way to destroy the reapers, one renegade option to destroy the reapers, and one where you don't have a high enough rep to kill the reapers and save earth. Then, if your war assets are high enough Shep should have lived... but this is beside the point.

I don't care how they fix it. But if there is no replay value, then the pre-me3 ending DLC will fail. UNLESS it somehow creates a new pre-me3 mission that changes the final ending entirely.

I'm curious if a video game developer has ever had this happen where the majority of the fan base hated the ending so they patched in a more acceptable one either through a free patch or a DLC. That would give us some kind of hope.
I ca't see story DLC selling all that well unless they address this. I'm sure Multiplayer DLC will sell perfectly fine however.

They Kill the replay Value of the game :

Save the Geth , Save the Quarians , Make Peace between the 2

Cure genophage , Lie to the Krogans

Ok , only here we have what , 3 plays to see all the outcomes right ? Wrong , the end is always the same no matter what you do , so why , why someone is goig to buy a DLC to retake Omega or anything if dont change nothing , yes great you retake Omega with Aria , for what ? Replay value and decisions is what make the Mass Effects series Great , you can paly Ma2 and save everyone , kill everyone , kill half , is your choice , what choice do we have in ME 3 , what color you like more ? So why someone is going to spend money on somenthing that dont change nothing ? I sure as hell dont.

OBS : Sorry for my english

I won't be buying any DLC until those endings are fixed. No ending DLC= no DLC period for me.

Ah wow..duh. Yes I totally forgot about Fallout 3's endings because my mind has accepted Broken Steel as the ending. So there is hope. Good to hear. Thank you sir/madam.

[Alamar2078]

I have to agree with pretty much everyone in this thread ... basically you'd be silly to buy gas for a broke-down car. In this case why buy DLC when you can't really change the endings [and for me I personally can't stand any of the endings I've seen]

You know what's sad about this is that everyone loses. The endings have burned gamers so badly that even if they offer Omega DLC and claim that it will actually change the ending, how many people will take that risk? I bet a lot of people would sit around the BSN waiting to hear if it's worth while.

ME3 was the most amazing game I ever played, and I so wanted to play it again until the last few minutes broke my heart, destroyed my resolve and crushed any hope I ever had. Please BW, give me an ending DLC so that I can download other DLC and enjoy mass effect for months to come.
