Pretty sure Mr. Hudson hasn't even actually played his own game. Inspiring/uplifting ending? Ha...ha...

Also, I very much hope he's not missing the point, because he seems to be.

Closure is only half of the issue here. The much bigger issue is that the ending simply doesn't fit or make sense.

He's non-commital and "proud of his team."  Typical response of corporate PR during controversies. 

No where did he state anything about post-game content when saying we would see more of Commander Shepard.  Not raining on the parade (I'm a Fleet member), just saying that he has committed to nothing that the disenfranchised can latch on to.

Just hold the line and do not purchase pre-ending DLC if you currently find yourself a dissatisfied customer.  Even if he lacks committment, because he's required to during periods such as this, you don't have to.

I wish they would realise gamers don't mind bittersweet or bad endings, see Read Dead but they do mind endings that make no logical sense and thematically betray the universe they are created for.

I also wish games reviewers had called out this ending because the movie reviewers I get reviews from sure as hell would have done, it just speaks to how cynical reviewers are of games as a storytelling medium and how scared of not appearing aloof they are.

Glad to finally see a statement from the man himself. However if our "insights" and "feedback" will determine future content in any way at all the first thing that I think most of us want to see is a better ending, one that at least makes sense at any rate.

Inspring? Uplifting? Hope? WTF!! The whole game left me wanting to stab myself in the head with a firepoker because it would have been less freaking painful than the game's story! And it was supposed to be uplifting??  You have to be ****ing kidding me. Suggestion to Casey...go read what Brent Knowles had to say. That man gets it. You clearly do not.

The Shepard in the Jungle DLC is also probably true--it doesn't fix the horrible ending.

[KainrycKarr]

This means pre-end content. It has nothing to do with post-end dlc.

Sorry folks. :/

Thanks for that mental image.

lol. God it's been a long day.

[Blind2Society]

Well he didn't specifically state that they would add to the ending. He could simply be saying there will be more content that would take place before the ending. However, the statement is welcome. And I thank you for it Mr. Hudson.

[JoeLaTurkeyII]

Bioware - just get rid of the stupid star child, the stupid explanation he provides, and the stupider lack of choice.

[DemGeth]

Oh the message at the end saying there'd be dlc was a bit confusing


So there will be dlc then?

This is ass covering and BS with undertones of please give us more money. F OFF Casey!

Alright then, DLC on its way, even a goldfish knew that Now what kind of DLC?

I kind of wish he would just say if they have ending DLC planned or not.  I would rather have my soul be crushed right now rather than wait months on end seeing if the new DLC will be the ending.

There is no implication that this is anything other than pre-endgame content featuring Shepard.

We have known this was coming since before the game was released.

[Kilshrek]

Well, this is all well and good, but can someone please tell me where he specifically says that they'll be adressing the endings with DLC of any sort?

Specifically, what we got at the end of ME 3

But we also recognize that some of our most passionate fans needed more closure, more answers, and more time to say goodbye to their stories—and these comments are equally valid. Player feedback such as this has always been an essential ingredient in the development of the series.

I am extremely proud of what this team has accomplished, from the first art concepts for the Mass Effect universe to the final moments of Mass Effect 3. But we didn't do it on our own. Over the course of the series, Mass Effect has been a shared experience between the development team and our fans—not just a shared experience in playing the games, but in designing and developing them.

An outpouring of love for Garrus and Tali led to their inclusion as love interests in Mass Effect 2. A request for deeper RPG systems led to key design changes in Mass Effect 3. Your feedback has always mattered. Mass Effect is a collaboration between developers and players, and we continue to listen. So where do we go from here? Throughout the next year, we will support Mass Effect 3 by working on new content. And we’ll keep listening, because your insights and constructive feedback will help determine what that content should be.


This is not the last you’ll hear of Commander Shepard.

This says nothing specific. It can very well mean we'll be playing as Shepard in missions before the Cerberus base assault. Still hearing from Shepard, excuse me if I'm cynical but the vague wording again doesn't fill me with any great hope.

The way i read it leave him a very large area to manouver, including doing anything shepard related.

befor after in between and for sure as hell money.

That guy should enter politic how to say a awfully lot of word whitout saying anything XD

[LadyofRivendell]

Wish it mentioned the prospect of Ending DLC specifically, but it certainly hinted at as much. Thanks Casey! Hoping it doesn't take an entire year to get the endings fixed, though, I don't think I can hold out for THAT long...

[Priss Blackburne]

Yeah just a lot of smoke and mirrors to diffuse the situation about the endings.

[Drak41n]

It doesn't say anything different from what they've been saying all along.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

wait correct me if I'm wrong but he doesn't say anything in that statement, only stuff we already knew

Also, how is the ending "inspiring and uplifting"? It depressed the hell out of me.

But the universe is free of the Reaper influence... by destroying the mass relays and stranding everyone years away from the rest of the galaxy!  Billions will die due to lack of access to resources, and friends and family will be separated forever!

The galactic community has been reduced back to the Stone Age.  I mean, what's not uplifting about that?

True. And not only that, Shepard died and his closest friends (those that were still alive), including his LI, were stranded on a remote planet. Happy ending!

[Slappy Ya Face]

So... Does this mean we're getting ending DLC, or was that a vague reference to -other- DLC? Why can't we just get a straight answer out of these people?

Back to holding the line...

Every one of you that pays for the post game nonsense only validates this kind of horse****.

I'm sure we all will.

Would a ME "Broken Steel" seem a bit cheap? Yes.

Would I eat that sh*t up in a desperate attempt to get a marginally positive ending? Yes.

Do I have shame? Not when it comes to something I've been emotionally invested for for years.
