I also remember from that PR guy saying they will continue being polite in hopes that the opposition goes rabid. On the surface it looks sincere, but it looks almost designed to provoke.

[KadivyaSky]

If he's afraid of spoilers, why doesn't he just post in the spoiler's thread? That's what I'm not understanding. He could sit down with us and say to us here 'yeah, we'll fix it' or 'no, but we're having prequel DLCs' and we'd have some clue as to where to go from here.

Like many above had said, it's just another damage control PR bit, likely nudged by a lawyer somewhere. That post was nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Don't look at the man behind the curtain!

[Fame-KIllz]

Citing penny arcade as a legitimate source of coherent opinion is ridiculous also.

[merylisk]

I really do honestly think that a lot of positive reviews were from people who hadn't actually beat the game yet, or who did but assumed they got a "bad" ending because they rushed through it to finish their reviews, and that a "better" ending would be available if they took their time and played more slowly.

[acidproof2]

Some people called it. He seemed to imply the actions taken during the game where supposed to be "closure"...somehow. The Internet is a funny thing, it creates a virtually permanent record of everything you say. And what he says now is not what he said in numerous interviews.

I'm sure someone will create a thread juxtaposing the comments here from what was said before.

[edrst10]

In all honesty I don't know how to take these comments. It reads like PR spin to me. Starting by saying that they have received many positive feedback along with the ending disappointment gives the impression of a an equal split among those who experienced the game, as if there is some parity among fans. This in and of itself I find a little worrying. I know that the BSN is not reflective of all who have played the game, but it seems that for every person that liked the ending or is even ok with it here, there are 10 that are not. In my experience finishing the game, I have yet to hear from any of my friends on XBL (and there were 13 of them playing ME3 the week of release) that they liked or were ok with the ending, their reactions ranged from disappointment to anger. I also have a blog in a gaming website and the comments there reflect the sentiment here on the BSN. So starting with the illusion of parity is problematic.

We'll see if they decide to do something about it, but I have little faith in Bioware these days. And I can say categorically, that I will not buy a single ME3 dlc unless its a new ending, as is, after playing ME1 and ME2 numerous times, I doubt I can bring myself to play ME3 a single other time.

Let me just say that I don't think Bioware has to fix the ending, by principle I don't think it's their obligation. If they truly feel that the ending we got is the most fitting one for the series, I respect that. I'll just move on and be thankful that CD Projekt Red with their Witcher series is there to pick up the torch Bioware seems so eager to drop since DA2.

[Icarus86]

Well marketing are the only ones who are allowed to make the new announcements these days. We clearly aren't going to get content information so soon to the initial release. I think the worst thing would be for them to stick to their plans for releasing run-of-the-mill DLC whilst probably releasing a minuscule and lousy attempt to reconcile these issues without changing the end. For example I do not want a lousy comic strip expanding on a shoddily written anti-climax.

[Praetor Knight]

I can appreciate that the devs need to be careful with what they say, but I'm a tad confused again.

So each Priority Mission has a mini-ending that wraps up those story lines so that when we finally beat the Reapers, we then didn't get further detail of the impact of defeating the Reapers to the Galaxy, because we already got mini-endings earlier? I would have been fine seeing something silly like ME1 with epic music where we saw Shepard standing in front of red or blue themed closing image.

Well, if I'm following correctly so far (and going with the Destroy option), then why do the Geth get destroyed if we made peace between them and Quarians? And what about Quarian's cybernetic implants, do they remain unaffected? Also, so Joker loses out with EDI?

And then destroying the Mass Relays should trap many, which could then be doomed depending on where they got trapped in the Galaxy.

And then there's the issues with the Normandy in FTL and crashing and who gets out of the Normandy in that scene. Stargazer can be explained away by Liara's protected packages so I won't dwell on that part.

And lastly, I won't bother with the strange Catalyst convo that we meander through, at this time (I still find it disappointing).

But what do I know. : (

"Buy more crappy DLC plz!"

She means that the DISCUSSION about the endings is not over (from devs), not that the endings are not over (as in post/in-between endings DLC)

They say getting Bioware to change the endings is a suicide mission.

Aw hell I'm in.

[CenturyCrow]

A series of endings, a series of even more confusing ending, or really, just a series of DLC?

And here I thought Origin was hardest part to swallow.

How about some straight, easy to understand answers about the existing ending?

[DentedHalo]

Come on Casey... admit you got it wrong... just say it... until i here that or a confirmation that the indoctrination theory is correct, no amount of DLC side missions will make this better... its not about wanting more Shepard, its about wanting an ending that reflects what my Shepard did and the Universe in which he did it... statements like that at this stage are not helping... those comments would be relevant if we were trashing the whole game or those that created it... we're not... comments like that are more about getting us to accept the endings and trust you... give us a reason to trust... you dont even need to tell us exactly what your planning... just give us something to hold on to!

[Xion66]

I enjoy the fact that everytime this whole protest the endings movements starts to feel bored or tired of waiting, some controversial statement, app, announcement, or tweet comes along and fires everyone up again.

The love interest of Tali and Garrus was introducded only in ME3. This guy doesn't even know what he is talking about. Give him money and he'll spout any old **** from his mouth. This love interest was introduced in ME3 - get it right. Love your game or **** off Casey.

You can romance them in ME2 .......

What I got from that was the entire game of ME3 WAS the ending. Your choices mattered up to the point of StarChild.

there will be more DLC but not commitment to endings. Only thibngs such as MP add Ons , Omega retake etc prior to final push.

Could be wrong, but thats what I got from it.

I think so too.

[Vandalisme]

Ide like to take this moment to thank everyone who worked on mass effect 1, 2 and 3. Thank you for bringing me the timeless mass effect 1, the conversation with sovereign was perfect, chilling and mindnumbingly awesome. Although a step away from the RPGish feeling of exploration, story wise ME2 was incredible. shared first place for best game ever with diablo 2, warcraft III and TFT. Mass effect 3 was also a great game up until the final battle with kai leng, where i felt it just went downhill from there unfortunatly. Aside from that, i am going to bury mass effect seeries now, and no i will not be playing an MMO if it ever comes out, though i am currently playing SWTOR (war hero ranked juggernaut with full BM) and probably will for a time. And i will not be purchasing the DLC for ME3, since i need to bury ME3 like all dead things must be buried

Your loving fan

Thomas

[vigna]

You know praising IGN and Penny Arcade that are lambasting the Take Back movement is also not good...... Unbelievable.
He could have picked any two reviews...why them?

[seitani]

On the positive side guys you have been loud enough to make Casey give us even some statement. Maybe they are taking some pointers from the fans here and there to give us actually a DLC we want. I will remain positive until i have legit reason to not be.

[Deviant Seraph]

Ending dlc or bust.

[Covermy6]

It was about as uplifting as a plane crash.

[Spitfiremk87]

Lets just take this with a grain of salt and keep on holding the line and pushing for a resolution.

[Fuzrum77]

This is just an attempt at damage control, and a weak and transparent one at that. This changes nothing. Once they see the fire will not die down, they will release another meaningless statement that says absolutely nothing. Probably another after that. Eventually they will have to take action to save themselves. EA won't stand for the incoming financial losses they will inevitably suffer for this debacle.

As incredibly saddening all this is, I have to admit following this major screw-up and our reaction to it has been fascinating. I think we've made history here and I'm curious as to where it will lead in the end.

One thing's for sure: this isn't going away, Bioware. Waiting it out and issuing empty statements will not work.

I just want to highlight a few things he says not like anybody will read my post but here goes anyway

He says he considers the game a collaboration between US and THEM. meaning our opinions are valid. He even goes as far as to say "your opinions are valid" Do you know what this means? This means that while he may not agree with our opinion, and i am SURE he doesn't, he recognizes it has solid reasoning behind it.

ALL OF YOU should be willing to do the same for him. At least if you actually want to be constructive and hopeful instead of bitter and mad.

He also says content is coming, THIS YEAR, and that they will be listening to fans in order to determine what to develop. which means that if the ending issue really is as big a deal as it was in the case of Fallout 3, there very well could be alternate ending DLC coming.

No he didn't promise anything, but it's still REALLY EARLY. Guys the fact that he responded at all when the game is still in the early stages of being sold is proof they take this seriously. Stop the hating! The hating is getting ridiculous. It really is.

I agree with this.

As do I. 

A curt "Thank you for listening.  No we will not purchase any DLC until we have confirmation of more endings." is sufficient.

it is to the point, it does not back us off one scrap of ground.  They will not beat us by having us give in to our own hostility. 

Conclusion : Hold the Line!!

I am confident BioWare is listening to us. I don't hate them by any means, just disappointed because they could have done so much better! But I am glad they listen to us - not many others do the same. This is why I am sure they will fix the ending(s). Mass Effect is indeed a collaboration, and I am honored and glad BioWare includes its fans so much.

[Taleroth]

I didn't say it before, but I appreciate getting a response, Mr. Hudson.

Normally I would leave it at that and not qualify it. I believe you will try to fix it. But your response did not indicate that you understand what "it" is or how it got broken.
