we'll just see how well they conclude or "wrap up" the series. They can 
definitely  work off what they've done now but it definitely needs more everything, not fine the just way it is. Another message after the stupid stargazer with a paragraph saying "the alliance lived happily ever after" but you can find out later by purchasing DLC!

If anything I believe any new ending will be a little more clarification with the Catalyst and then a little bit of extra stuff post last breath, and there's no reason really, why the last breath scenario cannot be used in the Control/Synthesis scenarios as well, especially if dream/indoctrination/sleep deprivation is taken to it's logical conclusion.

The thing is whatever they do, I think we can all agree that they need to leave the Mass Effect universe at the beginning of something new, not just the closing of Shepard's story. We'd all like the ME franchise to continue in some fashion, so you can't just answer every question - you have to leave something moving forward in new directions and open to interpretation.

Changing the ending will take too much time, Bioware can't be bothered to do that.

meh, honestly i'd rather not have them change the ending, but I DO believe they need to expand on it. There's nothing that's been OFFICIALLY confirmed I guess, but ultimately, if the indoctrination theory is true (which seems very likely) well...it's more like we have only 95% of the game

What happend to different endings?? Mass effect doesn´t have to have only one ending.
There should be like four or five, DIFFERENT from each other. Complimented with dialog, doesn´t even have to be CGI, in game graphics, some dialog, and text explaning what happens.
Not this half assed, " oh ****, were out of time... Uhhhh.. Yeah, a god child is controlling the reapers..." The scary part... Is that they actually think the ending is great, and were surprised by the rage from fans. If would have seen that storyboard, or the script. Well..

Well ball is and has been in their court. If they stick with their nihilistic crap that doesn't belong in video games, then they won't get any money from me for DLC. The series doesn't deserve to be left out to dry in order to create "speculation." Speculation is for game 1 and 2, not the end of a trilogy.

Which is a shame because I have bought everything until this point.

Thank god. Bioware actually has some backbone. Now I can buy future ME3 DLC knowing it won't be based on horrible fan ideas and pressure. The artists can create without being inhibited by the schlock on these forums.

The way you people reacted you deserved nothing, and thankfully that's what you got. Being unreasonable, petulant children didn't get you your way. Now what will you do?


Simple--won't buy their crap any more.

What takes your post from "troll" all the way to "clueless" is your comment about artists. There is no "art" in the ending. It's a thrown-together-at-the-last-minute mess. It was written in November with just enough time to do voice-over and animation in time for the January deadline to send it off for console certification.

The demand for a new ending has been a demand for art--real art. We've been asking for BioWare to craft an ending that reflected their ability and matched the rest of the game.

You want to know who the petulant children are? Look in a mirror. Those of you who act like any criticism levelled at BioWare is just mean, who act like we're not consumers of a product, and that our dissatisfaction has no legitimacy. Grow up. This is business, and success in business involves satisfying customer demand. When you put a blanket over your head and settle in with a flashlight and a webcam to cry "Leave Britney BioWare alone!" you can't expect to be taken seriously, and when you act like the simple fact that we are critical of this half-assed ending means that we're Philistines who do not deserve a good ending, well... that just makes you look like a cloaca.

Ugh, quit deflecting.  I'm not saying you don't have a right to complain, I'm saying you shouldn't expect to have creative control of the ending of someone else's story.  Only a child who thinks the world revolves around him would attempt something like that.  You paid $60 to play THEIR game, not to get a seat at the writers table and have producer credits.

The ending was fine and you would only deserve acknowledgement if you were constructive in your criticism.  The people against the ending were far from constructive, so you actually deserve less than what you got.  Sorry, maybe next time you want something you'll ask for it like an adult.

Yeah, I won't buy 'clarification' slideshow DLC. I'll watch it on Youtube. I would have bought new endings.

People screw up "different" with "clarification" or "continuation" all the time around here.

Actually, 90% of the criticism has been constructive.  Most Retakers are asking for narrative coherence, not a fanfic ending.  Way to troll by calling us "children."  Are you 12?

I really hope someone is listening when I say this:

Since completion of the ending, I have only turned on Mass Effect 3 for the limited purpose of weekend multiplayer events, but if the ending is not vastly improved, not merely explained, I am entirely done with Mass Effect and Bioware.

They should take particular heed of this because, even with the Day 1 DLC Disaster, I had every intention of purchasing each DLC as it came out.

We aren't demanding creative control. All we are demanding that they deliver on what they promised. Because those promises are some of the reasons lots of people purchased this game. Also we didn't pay 60 dollars to play their game, we payed 80 euros to pay OUR game... it became ours when we bought it, and we bought it under false advertising. We have legitimite complaints and you are the one trying to deflect that. For some reason you feel the urge to defend a company that completely dropped the ball.

The ending can hardly be described as fine. Also hundreds and thousands of people are being constructive, people are making theories, sending in suggestions, making videos of ideas for how the end could be either re-done or saved. If that isn't contructive i don't know what is.

Actually, 90% of the criticism was review bombing and moronic threats on these forums.  A few people actually put some thought into their opinions and now you all try to claim it?  Hilarious.  

Respect to the very few people who were civil in their criticism but the vast majority of you got the apathy you deserve.  Learn how to conduct yourself if you want to be taken seriously.

I find it amusing when one of the more obvious trolls on these forums gets self-righteous in their defense of Bioware.  I know they made some good games, but that level of loyalty is really quite impressive.

Sending in theories is attempting to write the ending; the LAST thing I want is to see the horrible theories on these forums end up in the game.  And no, you paid $60 to PLAY THEIR GAME.  They own the franchise, they own the story and they own every character you love.  You own the disk and they own every last pixel of content.  If you don't understand that then you're not capable of being constructive.

The ending is fine; I've been through several stories that have had some open-ended questions in the end and it's never ruined them.  Some people don't like that kind of thing but it's all opinion.

You act like the ensures quality.  Ridiculous.

Nothing ensures quality, but humoring fan ideas and caving to fan pressure over the direction of creative decisions is a sure way to guarantee that all future content will be horrible. 

There's a reason that nobodies beating down your door to help them write a story, you're not talented. 

Deserved nothing? Dude we paid $60 bucks for "16 different endings". Integrity means delivering on what you promised.

Development goals aren't promises.  What you got was a fantastic game.  The horrible, unproductive way you reacted means you didn't even deserve the minimal acknowledgement Bioware gave your complaints.  Learn to conduct yourself better if you want to be treated like someone who has an opinion worth hearing.

You would do well to heed your own advice. Certainly one thing we see here is that, after the smoke clears, BioWare will have exactly the customer base it deserves.

Gigamantits -

bra, it's okay, we know you're a mindless drone who rides the BioWare policy line like freakin' Secretariat. You've been on these forums trolling Retakers since day one, and mods let you go because you're on their jock like it was the last lifeboat on the Titanic.

"90% of the criticism was review bombing and moronic threats"... uh, lmfao. Do you even think before you post, or do you just type with your elbows and hope it makes sense?
