I pre-ordered the N7 collectors edition of Mass Effect 3 and wasn't impressed with the bonuses included. The Day One "From Ashes" DLC should not have been cut since it brings into the canon of Mass Effect more background info on the Protheans, the book that came as a bonus for pre-ordering the N7 collectors edition, "The Art of Mass Effect 3" even suggested that Javik would've been in the actual game, pages 14 and 15 titled "Allies: The Prothean."

The book even talks about TIM and the final boss fight stating on page 20:

One of the plans on the drawing board was to have the Illusive Man turn into a Reaper creature for the final battle. Eventually, this plan was scrapped, since we wanted to give players the satisfaction of fighting a character they know rather than a random creature.

That's a much better explanation of why the plan to make TIM a final boss battle was scrapped than the explanation given in the app, but why didn't the writers write into ME 3 that TIM would've became a Reaper creature so the TIM as a Reaper would NOT be a "random creature"?

Now reading about this app and reading what was included in this app that you need to pay $2.99 to an unrelated third-party person who doesn't even work for BioWare really angers me, it totally angers me that the ending for Mass Effect 3 was apparently intentional and planned, completely angers me that apparently for the ending, the phrase "Lots of speculation for Everyone!" was actually written in the planning documents for the ending, needing to fight TIM as a final boss creature would've been awesome for me, totally angers me that this app has concept art that is only part of this app, actual interviews with BioWare people who worked on Mass Effect, why was this not done for the N7 Collectors Edition of Mass Effect 3?!?!

This really shows that the ball was dropped badly with Mass Effect 3.

Sad sad sad.

I have all three Mass Effect games and am very saddened and angered at how the ending of the trilogy turned out and I'm not too hopeful with the "clarification" DLC BioWare announced for ME 3.

Because it's a documentary made by a documentarian, not a BioWare product. Do you know how independant documentary works? Admittedly this is a new medium but the theory is the same. 

Let's say someone was making a behind the scenes documentary about a film-maker. They're an independant documentary team. You buy the dvd of the movie made by the film-maker who was the subject of the documentary and you expect to be entitled to the entirely seperate creative work made by an entirely seperate creative team. This is not reasonable.

I do know how an independent documentary works, I'm wondering why BioWare couldn't have done this themselves for the N7 Collectors Edition of Mass Effect 3 and why it needed to take a separate third-party to do an independent documentary on the development of Mass Effect 3.

I'm also not happy that the final conversation between Anderson and Shepard was cut for the final game, I heard the full conversation on Tumblr and was angered that the conversation was cut and there was more to the conversation but wasn't used for the final game.

I still just can't understand how they managed to screw up so damn badly. I mean, you really had to work at it to make Mass Effect suck. To make the whole damn trilogy seem competely pointless...This is the first time I've ever seen a company nuke themselves like this.

Honestly, how could none of the other employees say "Hey, I think the whole "Speculations from everyone" isn't a really good idea, as well as having Joker flee in the middle of battle. It might confuse/annoy a few folks."

I believe people said that to the wonderful writers who wrote the ending, but they just didn't care.

Hurrm, making an ending that made sense would probably ruin all the artistic integrity I suppose.
