And they're also giving it to us for free. I can't see how this is possibly a bad thing.

Oh good, for a moment there I thought they were calling us stupid.

Find and read all pre-release press releases and interviews by Casey Hudson then rethink that statement. I'll even start you off.

Just read the bullet point about no new ending/choices for the extended cut DLC. If that idea holds, then everyone who is currently unhappy with the ending (me being one of them) will likely still be dissatisfied this summer when the extended cut DLC is released. Bioware may never be able to live this down.

I'm now waiting till a good game gets released.... I'm thinking Wasteland 2! http://www.kickstart...ile/wasteland-2

Bioware already got my money for ME3, but I traded it in. Some one will buy it used, and that will be one less NEW game sold to make EA/Bioware money. I don't even care about this new ending. Not anymore. Bioware has treated real fans of the series like **** up to this point. The snide comments and lies have been enough. I am done with Bioware. I know I am just one person, but I don't care. No more money from me. Bioware as I knew them is dead.

Get the memo folks

Please somebody tell me there will be a livestream, this is going to be scary and funny at the same time lol

Pretty sure it has already been said that there will not be any livestreaming however in this day and age everyone there with a cell phone will be recording it and I totally expect those videos to be on youtube no latter than that night.

If anyone was honestly expecting them to completely scrap and rewrite the ending, you were asking to be disappointed.

Oh I understood the ending perfectly. I can even make educated guesses as to how the Normandy ended up where it is. Understanding the ending doesn't make it any less nonsensical though. If anyone failed to understand the ending it was Bioware themselves. They wrote an ending that didn't match with the previous games or even what occurs in the same game. It's like when Harbinger hit Shepard with the beam, Shepard jumped into an alternate reality where he never made all the choices he made and thus had no reason to question Starchild.

Or, that Shepard is a clone. I expect the clariication to be an additional scene where we see that Shepard dies and is replaced by a stupid clone. CloneShep if you will. It makes sense.

[InMyOwnImage]

Does "cinematics" mean FMV's? Or does it mean, like the in-game conversation deals?

Regardless, add a Harbinger controlled TIM, and I might be interested. He could help clarify some things. *shakes fist*

[Chernaya]

I'm not saying anything yet. I haven't seen it so I don't know and can't judge. I never expected them to change their entire ending, even though I did not like it. I'm just amazed that they listened enough to do this. It's a pretty rare thing, I know only a few game alterations/add ons made because of fan demand. I'm glad they were listening at least somewhat. I mean... as much as I would love it, I can't say that them changing the entire ending is a believable idea if that was the intended ending all along.

Then you're overanalyzing (which seems to be a common thing).  Just because we didn't understand their ending doesn't make us stupid.  Nor does giving us this "Extended Cut" mean they think we're stupid either.

How does it in ANY way say they think we're idiots if we go: "Bioware, we didn't understand what you gave us."

And they go: "Ok, here's an explanation of what we gave you."

HOW, I ask, HOW does this in ANY way say "Our fans are retards!"

What they envisioned was stupid as Hell.

[TLK Spires]

the ONLY positive i've derived from that was that it's free of charge, as it goddamn should be. what truly matters is the content. there's only one real way they can make the current embarrassment of a non-ending, and i'm waiting to see if they do.

[Scoob]

They ignored everything we put forth. Continuing to hold the line.

Are you guys really complaining about free stuff?

Think about this for a second.... Please, I need you guys to do it, I can't even believe what I am seeing. They are giving us FREE content, and you guys are actually complaining.

It's a smart move on their part, they offer us free DLC with very little content that doesn't actually improve anything but because they give it for free anyone that is still unhappy about it look like whiners. They don't lose much money in production and they make it look like they made it from the good in their heart.

Smart yes. But is it "free companion ticket for your next Titanic voyage" smart?

Then there's still a problem with effort, isn't there?

Well, if that's your take, that's your take.  I'd say wait until the Extended Cut comes out and then make a judgment.

But it doesn't matter, because the Extended is obviously not conforming to everyone's wishes, so folks are already lambasting it before it's even out.

I got all excited and emotional a couple of minutes ago, but I'm not breaking formation from the line until we see what's up.

Also, "offer available until April 12"? What the hell does that mean? If anybody buys the game after that date, they have to pay for closure DLC? Seriously?

continue reading: "until April 12 2014"

Same principle. The notion is completely LOL.

I don't have the link handy, but they did explain it's just a legal notice that EA attaches to any free DLC. The DLC will remain free forever, even after 2014. It's just something the legal department has to write.

****

-UPDATE-
Okay, I found the link. This DLC will REMAIN FREE FOREVER:

Mass Effect is the first RPG-type game I ever played. My experience has completely soured due to the lame ending and the feeble attempt to extend the lameness.

Back to Counterstrike, Ghost Recon, Far Cry, Battlefield, Crysis...etc.

Bye RPG's!

If they had given us what they had promised in the first place, there would be nothing to complain about and that free stuff wouldn't be necessary.
Now people are complaining because adding content to a broken ending will not change the fact that it is still broken.

If the engine of my car is broken, either I fix it or I buy a new car, but I will not apply a new layer of paint or add new wheel rims because that will not change the fact that my car is useless.

Yep, it's STILL not a new ending, it's just additional "clarification" to the three s#!%y ones we have now.

Which is still disappointing that the StarChild still exists, the Mass Relays still explode, the Geth & EDI still die in the Destroy option, you still "force" every sentient being to become half-synthetic, Shepard still more or less dies in the Synthesis ending, and Shepard may or may not Control the Reapers as the new Catalyst.
Sadly, I expected them to take the cheap way out, a full retcon of the ending would eat up more resources than what EA was willing to part with and would take far too long fix completely.

[clos]

Yeah. I'm done with Biofail.

I'll support the Hold the Line movement but personally, I just don't care anymore. I'll download the free content, check it out but as things stand right now I don't have any faith in Bioware/EA and their so called artistic integrity.

Good for anyone who wants to support them but for me? I'm not spending any more than bargain bin pricing.

[Spectre Impersonator]

This announcement sucks. If this is really all they do to fix the endings then farewell Bioware and EA. You came really close but ultimately can't be trusted.

[ShadowSoldier89]

So I think I figured out Biowares plan here, but I can only describe it in an analogy

they are going to get a few giant cranes, then raise both halves of the titanic from the bottom of the sea. Then they are going to weld those two halves back together, then try and see if it will float again.
