I dont know how many people might have already posted this but the spokesman says there will not be any paid dlc altering the ending rather an additional add-on that will resolve and add closure


I saw the tweet, yeah. Anything less than a new ending is unacceptable to me. Asimov himself couldn't tie up all these loose ends and fix plot holes this enormous.

Good. I think the ending is clever, and just requires clarification and maybe some closure. I'm glad they aren't changing it because a bunch of people cried and whined really loudly.

If they don't give a new ending. And try to justify this star child crap. I genuinely hope that EA and Bioware go bust. I don't think a company that has so blatantly misled its consumers deserves to survive. I will never buy another game from them.

Fine with me EA.... oh, as long as you don't mind ME3 going down in history as both an analogy and meme for breaking pre-release promises, crapping on 5 years of lore and trashing the potential of the most promising Sci-Fi IP in years?.

Go right ahead. But don't come whining when you don't have any fanbase support for the franchise anymore.

Personally i disagree. If a ending requires clarification it's a crappy ending, not clever.

Just my virtual 2 cents. Image IPB

I just don't understand why they'd end it this way.
Really, I mean they're companies that go for profit, why can't they see people would still buy the game even if it went to, say...Mass Effect 7.

It has the potential to be bigger than Star Wars, the ME universe is closer to home than the Star Wars Galaxy.

I can't comprehend why they ended it in the way they did.
Surely, some Bioware employees must be really pissed off with their developers on how they ended it.

Don't they have kids too, who have played the game and asked them WHY?

Of course they are not changing the ending, that's just stupid. They are just going to clarify things.
Fans... you know what the word "fan" is short for, right?
Unlike other trilogies I can't wait for the next Mass Effect game :P *here's hoping for "how Shepard became N7"*

You're glad some people might not be getting DLC which won't affect you?

Isn't that about as selfish as people wanting the ending changed? 

Also, I think it's more than just a bunch of people.

You could pretty safely say it's a large enough part of the player base to warrant attention, if not a majority.

I don´t necessarily think this spells doom and gloom. The article states there will be no PAID DLC to change the endings - which is nothing new. We've already been told the endings won't be changed, and in any case IT doesn't require an ending CHANGE, just an ending continuation. Also, this isn't the most official of EA/BioWare statements, hidden as it is in the corner of a newspaper that the vast majority of people will never read.

If anything, this could be interpreted as positive confirmation that the IT-confirmation ending DLC will be free.

Apologies for any of this that has been said already. And yes, I do speak Spanish. I'm in Spain at the moment as it happens.

Prequels.... Would it not suck though, knowing that say 10 years after that prequel, the galaxy is just going to be FUBAR because of what happened to the Mass relays?

Ive got all 4 ME novels, And since the ME3 ending, I'm reading them knowing how the galaxy practically ends, it really puts you off.

Playing a prequel with a HUGE spoiler.

Why do you reckon KOTOR games were like thousands of years apart?

Anyways ending of ME3 was fine. You people are hilarious.

My guess is that any prequel would be based around the First Contact War. I can't see Bioware going back as far as the Prothean extinction because it would essentially be the same thing all over again. A FCW game could be treated like Halo Reach.

well, different or new endings is something according to your understanding.

If they planned indoctrination or dream ending since the beginning, this means they actually 'explain' current ending with the actual ending we wanted.

Word games...

I used to get really irate when people said things like this. 

Now I just laugh when people try and act superior because they thought it was fine.

You know, you call us hilarious, but at least we can back up out reasons with valid points and constructive criticism.

So go on, mr. High and mighty,

How about you give us some of the reasons you thought the ending was 'fine'?

That's what I thought because how else do you plan/sell DLC for a 3rd game in a trilogy that wraps up everything. Some sidestory during that time? Lame. Of course they would leave the ending vague and "unsatifying". People just need to calm down. First of all, it's all about the journey, not the end and second... *news flash* video games are a business.

And a space opera kinda needs humans.

Unles they retcon it too by recreating Atlantis, of course.

I like how it was EA's declaration and not Bioware's. That gives more support to the idea that BW is suffering under EA's reign.

The fact that it was the Latin America rep which BW doesn't have doesn't change the fact that he didn't quote BW but stated EA's stance.

But what would you expect from a company that started with several Apple folks. (I know from many experiences that Apple likes to take the choice away from consumers. It's a lot easier to manage customer support when the customer can't do anything you can't predict.)

I remember when EA had three options in their logo. A cube, a sphere and a tetrahedron. There was more difference in those three things than ME3's three endings.

Mass Effect : Atlantis?
Will the first game serie be known as Mass Effect : SG1 N7?

Honestly if Bioware doesnt add new endings for it then they are set to lose alot of money when they make their next game and no one buys it. Seriously do they think that 90+% of their fans are going to keep paying them money when they give us stuff like those endings?

That said, i will wait for an actual statement from Bioware before believing anything about it. Especially from a source that i cant read at all.

No, the end is just as important as the journey. That saying is cliched.

You are highly mistaken if you think that most the people who bought ME3 i.e. the money makers for Bioware/EA, care about all the whole "change the ending thing". Don't mistake the internet " vocal minority" for the majority of buyers.

60,000 for the RetakeME3 movement, 50k+ on the Bioware poll, plus someone posted a pretty good link on here a while back stating statistics that actually disproved your theory of us being a vocal minority, we're actually a majority, I'll do some searching and find the link for you.

Also, you didn't answer my previous post.
