My only major gripe with the ending was the lack of closure. If this "extended cut" adds such, I'll be happy. If not... eh. I didn't have a massive problem with the events of the ending.

I am happy.

vary happy this is all i wanted for the ending.

I liked all the fan fiction stuff and a few of you should write your own novels and i hope to see them in the future.

I think the most of us will be happy and I think most of the retake movement will see this as a step in the right direction.

So... instead of actual new DLC missions or squadmates or new stories they are going to be forced to spend all their time to further explain (to those of us who are creativly-challenged) how we already know the game ended?

Thanks complainers.


you are welcome.
now brush your teeth and go to your room.


Hey! I just brushed my teeth um... yesterday?

Ok, going to brush.

So are we going to have at least a couple of months of people complaining about the EE DLC before it's released then? Not content to see that you're actions are prompting BW to act, so you now don't have the patience to wait til it's available, or any information comes out about it, because at the moment we know NOTHING about the EE DLC?

Even if they did completely change the endings for those that call any attempt of clarification to be more crud on top of other crud, who's to say that the new ending will escape your critical glare, or indeed that you'll agree with how the new ending is presented. And what if, shock horror, other people who are currently against the ending as it stands, look at the new content (given that we know NOTHING at the moment about what it is) and think that the EE stuff removes any concerns and issues for them, but you still want more changes?

This.

It isn't our, nor Bioware's fault that you have a sad/unhappy life.


Basically this.


When you're trolling and insulting people on the forums, you shouldn't start judging other peoples' lives.

Seriously, keep it civil all of you. No need for this childish behaviour.


I love these responses.  People are only being childish when they sling their pro ending insults, yet the people that write these type of responses ignore the 100's of arrogant, aggresive and insulting anti ending responses that always flood these types of threads.

Get over yourself and grow a pair, mate.


I wasn't referring to ''pro ending'' members only. It was meant for everyone posting on this thread -- that includes both groups. I don't like the endings, but I can still be civil in expressing my oppinions.

We don't know any details yet. Don't go **** storming when all you've seen in a few lines. Wait 'till PAX. If nothing comes up then... well:

They said that they will clarify but not change the ending.

Any acceptable ending would necessarily have to cut at least starchild; since this would constitute a change it follows that the clarified ending will not be acceptable.

Even if they did completely change the endings for those that call any attempt of clarification to be more crud on top of other crud, who's to say that the new ending will escape your critical glare, or indeed that you'll agree with how the new ending is presented

They have already said that they will not change the ending. This means that the clarified ending is certain to fail to meet people's wishes, as opposed to very likely to fail to meet people's wishes.

nd what if, shock horror, other people who are currently against the ending as it stands, look at the new content (given that we know NOTHING at the moment about what it is) and think that the EE stuff removes any concerns and issues for them, but you still want more changes?

OK, you're just missing the point now. Bioware Has Already Stated That The DLC Will Not Change The Ending.

With this, I'm saying goodbye to Bioware...not that they will care OR anyone should care. They proved that they didn't listen. Farewell!

“Since launch, we have had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are responding. With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team’s artistic vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass Effect universe.”

Unless those answers include a "yes, the IT is correct," then it sounds like BioWare did not get why the ending is so hated. "Maintaining the team's artistic vision" sounds a whole lot like, "We're keeping the starchild and the totally illogical reason for the Reapers' existence."

“We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player.”

I admit I haven't read every thread on these forums, but I don't recall reading many posts that were upset with the ending because they didn't get enough context or clarity. (Unless he means we'll get greater clarity and context by saying "yeah, the IT is correct," which I doubt is what he means) I seem to recall a whole lot of posts saying the ending we have makes ZERO sense, and no amount of context and clarifying short of something along the lines of the IT will make it better.

*Sigh* I will of course, still hold out a tiny hope that this extended ending will make things better, but I seriously, SERIOUSLY, doubt it. Sadly, if BioWare thinks the ending we have now is a great way to end the trilogy, then I am going to be more cautious about future BioWare games. I'll wait to see what others have to say about say, Dragon Age 3, before I decide to buy it.

They are giving you free content because you cried about it.

And you are crying about it.

Hold the Line. Amazing song by Toto. Should listen. Be happy. Get on with life. Month long whining not helping anymore. Need new focus. This is one genophage that won't be cured.

Well...I'll try to be optimistic...

If by "cinematic cut scenes" & "dialogue" they mean interactive dialogue, choice etc... that extends on what we've got atm, and incorporates the multiple varied endings I've come to expect from this exceptional series (and yes, that does mean a happy ending aswell as a bad one), then great! I've got no problem with it being cut scenes & dialogue.

However, I remain skeptical...

If it doesn't at least add some new options for how you respond to the Starchild, then it's still not fixing the whole "Why would my Shepard even listen to this little twerp?" problem.

Because it's the only way to save the galaxy and not even Renegade Shepard would doom all existence out of spite?

All and all this sounds relatively promising. A complete rewrite of the ending would have been a disaster that would leave no-one happy. Better to fix the ending that actually exists to have clear visual distinctions between choices, and hopefully an epilogue giving us some clue to what happened to all the people we influenced throughout the story.

I believe the current ending can be made good through clarification. My imagination tells me so.

What amazes me is that for something that's supposedly just extra cinematics...it'll take till this summer to come out. I realize the developers are likely still recovering but several months for a few cinematics seems excessive to me.

Hopefully, they are extensive in nature. Not even sure if I'll still care to play through the mass effect ending again by this summer.

A dumb ending is still a dumb ending. No amount of "clarification" or extra cutscenes will mask the fact that the ending(s) have serious, objective flaws. What, are they now going to expound on the whole "synthetics kill organics to save organics" claptrap? Make Shepard look like an even bigger moron for not bothering to throw the Starchild's wonky logic back in its face? Tell us why and how that "magic space elevator" works? Show us more footage of the various races trying to exist on Earth?

I feel justified knowing I didn't buy this game.

This is looking really dicey. No dialogue, no gameplay, no further choice?
Although it's better than nothing (and free), I'm far from thrilled about it.
I AM going to give it the benefit of the doubt until I hear more, though.

What is wrong with you people? Bioware has listened to your complaints, responded to them constructively and now they promise you an extended ending FREE OF CHARGE. And you're still complaining.

At least wait until you've played it before you make a judgement. If it's bad, then I'll be happy to whine with you. Bioware is trying to make this right. Now let them work in peace.

Considering the size and scope of the backlash, yes, I expected them to completely change the ending. Also, they never said in any official capacity that they would or would not scrap the existing endings. Their responses have been vague PR speak from the very beginning.


It would be an insult to all the hard work their own people put into the game to do that. 

adam32867 wrote...

i agree. whats with the people saying the ending was good because a sad ending is more realistic. if i wanted realism i would go for a walk in the park, not drop $70 on a game.

 

There are tons of people who play games for the realism or for the bitterness. Limbo is a perfect example of a popular but very sad game that is still loved by many. 

I don't think that's a valid argument to make, tbh. I think what you really mean, is that you felt the ending and feel of 3 was inconsistent to 1 and 2. Which I agree on.

Well go find those people and bring them here, I'd love to meet them.

Oh, no gurl, you did not pull that on me.

Have you missed the entire romance/character section? Have you missed the Cerberus/Renegade players? 

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!?!? [EWGHORAUEGHPOAISHJGOLISYOISRDFO;THJ


No seriously, where is the sizable fan movement suing (as in, protesting, not actual legal action) for just mere closure or clarification?

While I applaude Bioware for doing what hopefully will be the right thing, depending on how it's presented., I still don't know how they purposefully wrote themselves into a corner with their universe... all the mass relays being destroyed... well that's great, how are you going to ever do another game in the same universe now, when there's no way to get from system to system?

Here's to hoping they clear up all the plot holes and retcons they created with the final 10 minutes of the game, and the handling of some of the over arching plot, Rachni queen, the cutscenes of the battle showing the Asari flagship regardless if you actually rescued it or not way back when. etc.


According to the "Final Hours" app Geoff Keighley put out, Casey said that future games would take in place in or before the events of Mass Effect 3, but he didn't foresee them taking place afterward.

They've built an amazing IP, and I guess they now want to look at it from a completely different angle. Brave? Absolutely. Stupid? maybe, that has yet to be seen.
