I have absolutely no desire to touch anything Mass Effect related until that ending is fixed. Why bother?

I think that if we actually paid for a better ending, we'd be sending the wrong message as well.

If BioWare chooses to retcon the endings, I definitely wouldn't buy them. They'd have to be free DLC for me to even consider changing my stance on this intellectual property.

For me, as of 2AM last night, Mass Effect officially was over, for good.

I would be with you man if it wasn't for the fact that I already paid for the collectors edition in full before the game came out so I didn't see the point in canceling. And if there is a better ending DLC I might just buy it cause honestly I would do anything to make it so that, that Colony crap wasn't real.

I know it's wrong, but the ending makes me so sick, I would pay for actual ending DLC.
It just can't end this way.

IT CAN'T.

whoa whoa whoa what? stop playing mutiplayer?

you leave multiplayer out of this...... singleplayer DLC i can understand not buying, but the mutiplayer as is, is perfectly fine. AMAZING, i might say

the only reason the singleplayer is broken is because of the ending. MP is all gameplay, and the gameplay friggin rocks


Very tempting. The multiplayer is quite fun, and for the most part ME3 is perfect. But I'm going with no multiplayer because of this. I know, not logical. But I think it would help reinforce the idea that, for the most part, the fans are dissatisfied with the ending enough that it hurts the game as a whole.

I won't be buying any DLC unless it alters or expands upon the endings.

The rest of the game was great. But any non-ending-altering DLC will not mean anything for the game overall, so why buy it? To shoot at stuff some more? Pick up a new gun or something? If I just want to blow crap up, I'll go play CoD or play ME3 multiplayer. Not going to pay more money just for more combat or something.

Yeah, for me, I have to leave an opening for BioWare to make things right. Because if I come right out and say, "Nope, never buying anything else you ever do, and there's nothing you can do to change my mind," then what's the point of even coming out and saying it? How's BioWare supposed to react to that other than, "Well, sorry you didn't like it."

Would buying a revised ending DLC send the wrong message? Perhaps, but even in the best case scenario that BioWare does that, they've lost my trust in a critical way. I may stop my boycott if they give us the ending we should have gotten in the first place, but regardless of how this all turns out, I'm never preordering a BioWare product again, and waiting until I see feedback from the folks around here, and not professional reviewers, before they get my money.

no DLC's for me, including multiplayer. Gladly, would I purchase the 'ending DLC' if that ever becomes a reality.

Done. They did not deliver the product they said they would. They lied about the ending being the culmination of the decisions we'd made throughout the series. 

I won't support a company that would rather retain customers by lying to them than gain their loyalty by keeping promises.



Yes, it was the lyng that really got to me. The promise of a golden ending. The promise of extremely different endings. The promise of a lot of things. I even defended bioware, saying they would never do such an awful and horrible ending to hordes of people.

Well perhaps there are endings that are fitting for the end of this series, they just forgot to mention they'll be only availiable via DLC. clever scoundrels

I have stated this somewhere already. Unless the DLC is new endings, I will be purchasing nothing more from BioWare.


I'm with you.

Again, I don't think a retcon ending should be bought. It sends the wrong message. I know people want this to end better...but if BioWare was to retcon this ending, they'd need to do it in a full patch, not in a "DLC".

To retcon this they'd have to completely overwrite the endings as they are now. 

I spent my entire ME3 play through looking at the Crucible and knowing that it wasn't the way, and hoping that with the GWA rating I had...I could choose not to use it....that we could win, on our own terms.

I wasn't given that option, and now, because of that, an entire galaxy of advanced civilizations has been destroyed. Leaving nothing but spread out colony remenants that will take thousands of years to ever see each other again.

And even if they retconned this ending, patched it in for free and publicly admitted they screwed up, theres no such thing as bleach for your memory. And there won't be anything that will wash the sour taste of watching one of the best science fiction franchises of our era flushed down the toilet in a manner that would make even George Lucas go...."Dude....WTF?"

I would buy a new ending DLC--reluctantly, but I would do it. Until and unless that happens, however, no way.

Meh, I was perfectly fine with Broken Steel changing the events of the ending of that game, and as far as I'm concerned the original ending never even happened. If BioWare revises the ending of this game, I can put the original behind me for this, too.

point taken. Though after all the hard work I've put into ME3 collecting WA and such, I think I deserve not sending  galactic civilization into a darkage.

The only way I will buy the DLC would be under these conditions, more boss fights, galactic-wide battles and conclusions that actually is much more than 2 cheap-[a] general ending that everyone wants to see with proper amount of time being invested into making proper closure for all major characters.

Okay what if they released it, and a pill that made you forget all about the orginal ending, similar to the retcon pill in torchwood?>

Maybe. I'm sure BioWare is concerned with the fan reactions to the end of this series. But I'm not sure they're concerned enough with them to retcon the ending.

Though in hindsight it might be a good idea to fire whoever wrote the endings, because they've obviously got no professional understanding of how to write for a sustainable intellectual property.

To be frank and honest the fact that these endings made it past the story boards and into the finally shipped product, to me, indicates that BioWare stands behind the decision of the writers, and they consider Mass Effect now completely "done".

And to put out DLC, to even tease us with the Mass Effect galaxy beyond this point would simply have to be EA's marketing division attempting to hump the corpse of an intellectual property that has been euthenized by its own creators.

Boss fight vs HARBINGER at the top of the citadel anyone? I got no idea how he's gonna pull it off, but it would be a badass boss battle, use a remixed version of the music from fighting saren in ME1. Now that would be an epic battle sir.

I will be buying whatever DLC they are selling. In my book they have earned my dollar vote with the masterpiece that is ME3, every cent of it.  I hope there are enough others like myself to counteract this backlash to what I consider a masterpiece.  Yep, that's selfish of me.

I too, will be buying most DLC.
Sorry OP.

While I probably would have bought DLC anyways, I'll definitely buy it just to counteract the absolute vitriol coming from this forum.
