Which is why, in order to pay for it, it must be continuation, not new endings, which would be so STUPID if they added just endings, which some of these people actually want.

[Moonshadow_Dark]

Don't want to pay for endings, should have just let it go.

[Sundance31us]

People have a right to be paid for the work they do, so I don't have a problem paying for a DLC.

[Lanxerer]

An Ending DLC should be free since that's part of the story.... but to be honest i think i'll end paying for it if needed, that would be very depressing but i think i'll be not able to resist

I'm going to have to agree with what a lot of other people have said. I should not have to pay for a proper ending that ought to have been in the game from the beginning. Not only would it be wrong from a philosophical standpoint, but it would also encourage bad business practices. It would encourage other game developers to churn out products 80% complete, and then expect people to pay if they wanted to see the finales.

However...

If the DLC comes with a plethora of new endings, new content and cinematics, maybe an extra hour of things to do after the Reaper threat is over, then yes, I would consider spending money on it. But it would almost assuredly have to be DLC with worth-while content taking place -after- the main plot ends, otherwise I'm not interested.

[blaidfiste]

I'd pay for 1-2 hours of additional content which includes a more satisfying end to the series.

[Shinji Ex]

I'd rather see just decent DLC for a change for a Mass Effect game in general

From Ashes $10 for a character?

I tend to agree with this train of thought.  I already paid cash money on the barrel for a good game with a good ending - and I got ripped off.  The polls show the truth.  I should not have to pay for a decent ending - they knew off of jump street that the planned ending they had was last minute desperation to just get out of the door and let the fire burn out on its own.  Well, the fire is bigger than they thought.  However, I am not paying for their mistake.  They are - out of pocket.  I cannot encourage them to produce sub-par and then bill me all over again to do it right.

A better deal might be  somehting like a middle ground.  Put in agreeable endings, like we have respectfully requested in many other threads, as well as some kind of DLC - a package deal of sorts.  I'd gladly look forward to that, and there might even be replayablility as well.

I think a good strategy would be for Bioware to release a free endings DLC along with optional paid DLC. A LOT of us would want to play additional DLCs if the endings provide sufficient closure and are varied enough to provide sufficient payoff for our choices. Right now, I couldn't give a crap about retaking Omega or whatever.

[Sebbe1337o]

If it's good and gives ME the ending it deserves, it will be worth every penny.

[Irx]

Boycotting anything requires too much willpower.
So far I haven't bought a single DA2 dlc since I dislike it too much, chances are I'll be ready to resist this one as well.

It would be better to wait for a go ahead for the new project.Let us first get a confirmation about the new ending dlc then we can discuss about whether it is free or not. Right now it is more important that the new ending dlc project starts.

[DaJe]

A paid new ending DLC would be beyond pathetic and a testament to the state of mainstream gaming. Thanks to kids who don't know how to value their money people like the EA CEO come through with their DLC rip-off ideals.

[GamerFreak 259]

then why demand for a different ending if you don't wanna pay

[Thatguyky]

Your loss, I'd pay for it.

[Iyerbeth]

I hate the ending, but don't think it was malicious intent to milk us for more DLC, so would buy it if it was made available. What happens after that specifically depends on what content is released though.

1: They release a free DLC new ending - my trust in Bioware would be sufficiently restored that I'd give them another chance in future.

2: They release a paid for DLC new decent ending - my trust that Bioware listens to fans would be sufficient that I would still buy future games, albeit more carefully.

3: They release a paid for DLC new, also bad, ending - my trust that Bioware listens to fans would be shattered and I'd likely never buy another Bioware game unless it came extremely highly recomended after at least a month, and not at full price.

4: They release a paid for DLC which also comes with a free new good ending - I'm not sure how I'd feel about this. Honestly it'd depend on the value of the content provided in the DLC itself I think. Wouldn't be happy, but if the ending was now a sufficient conclusion I might fall somewhere between 2 and 3.

5: They leave the ending as is - I'm done with Bioware games, as this dissapointment was so huge, and it'd be apparent they don't care enough about fans to not just rush the ending where we've reached the point we don't really have any options left but to just suck it up.

[Farbautisonn]

I look at this debacle as the latest fiasco in a line of many.

DA2 came and they said they were "listening".
Deception came and they said they were "listening".
Now ME3 comes along and they say they are "listening".

Really... they must assume Im dumber than snot.

I might pay... if the DLC was well and truely epicly great. I mean PS:T-esqe great. Otherwise I dont see the point. I really do not see the point of supporting bioware after this either. Im tired of being spoonfed halftruths and outright lies. Im tired of being promised one thing and given another. Im tired of bugs and logic/lore inconsistencies that constantly yank me from suspension of disbelief.

So. Will I buy another Bioware title? Not likely. I do not want to support this kind of businesspractice.

[VelvetStraitjacket]

I would gladly pay, eat your heart out.

100% agree.

When I hear "fix" the endings.. I cringe.. 

Continue from the end - SINCE SHEP IS STILL VERY OBVIOUSLY BREATHING.

Why do people insist on ignoring the fact BW quite obviously left Shepard alive..

If he was ever on the Citadel, and the "Starchild" segment 'wasn't' a vision, then he survived re-entry into Earths atmosphere after the Explosion/Destruction of the Citadel, and is lying in a pile of Citadel x London rubble... 100% impossible - he didn't have his breather suit on (as it got 'blown off' remember lol.) so he was frakked if this was the case.  

The other option, and is the only possible explanation for that final scene - is that he never left earth, and he is 'Awakening' - and the only explanation that is in line with anything in the ME universe is Indoctrination.

Someone please, try and debunk this. Please. :bandit:

I have no principles when it comes to ME. I'd pay through the nose for ending DLC.

sadly so would I.

[SynheKatze]

I wouldn't pay for some remade cinematics that used the original endings as a base. I'd pay if we had to, for example, retreat with a half dead commander, and then plan an assault to the Citadel/Crucible.

Also, some kind of final dialogue with Harbinger would be pretty nice.

[G00N3R7883]

For any other game, I'd totally agree with the thread title. If it was a paid for DLC, it would set a very dangerous precedent for other games to follow. I honestly believe that the DLC concept has gone too far as it is. But we're not just talking about any game here, we're talking about literally my favourite series ever. I can't deny that for Mass Effect, I'd make an exception.

If Bioware/EA wanted to release it for free as a gesture of goodwill to the community, perhaps they could get around Microsofts "every DLC must have a purchase price" crap by either a) calling it a patch / title update / whatever they're calling bug fixes these days or package it with the first DLC they were going to release anyway, for the same price.

If people like you guys didn't support practices like this, we may have had decent endings to begin with.

IDIOTIC BUYERS DAM I HATE THEM.

[Contalion]

yeah....see.....would it be cool if they offered it for free? yes. BUT......Are they more likely to actually MAKE THE DLC if people are willing to pay for it? yes. So yes, I am willing to pay for it. If everyone insists it be free, what motivation do they breally have to make it? Half of the people who are insisting it be free are the same people who have already been ranting about how they will never give bioware another dime anyway. So yes, Bioware....if you make it...I WILL buy it.
