Hopefully the ending will now make more sense, good thing it's free. But i will still be a little skeptical about this whenever it will actually make a difference. Well i will see in the summer.

[Allofthem]

The fact that its being released this summer raises my hopes. This means that they will actually put adequate time into it, instead of it being a cheap quick-fix. That being said, Casey himself also said that the endings will feel more personalized. I have high hopes for this, I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to make the same mistake twice.

This is good news, right?

Also, "this summer" means that they'll really do somethng, not just add some text. I think EA/Bioware finally realized that they don't want the ME Setting to die like that.

Also, it is free. Kudos to EA, despite being called the worst American company (Which it isn't of course, in all seriousness...).

It's free, so my optimism meter is rising.

Still dread the feeling that Star Brat will still exist.

[Melancholic]

Sounds good to me. The next best thing to redoing the ending completely, really.

Considering it's still months until release, it's probably going to be pretty expansive. I'm really happy they're making it "personalized for each player". That hopefully means unique epilogue scenes depending on your love interest and the decisions you made throughout the series, which is exactly what I wanted.

[BeDotWe]

This kinda makes me feel even more sad. To know that this will be the definite end for Shepard and probably all the people we've learned about throughout the game.
Glad they listened to the fans and made it free though.

[Luiginius]

Mythbusters already did a take on this. Yes you can polish it, but it still is what it is.

[camcon2100]

Good God people I was with you up until here...Now what you have read is a post from EA. Wait until they release some more information before you jump down their throats...

So vent brat with his color coded ending stays? Well, OK.

Thanks, Bioware!
/sarcasm

Most people issue's with the ending were

• There complete narrative disconnect
• The failure of the entire earth level to live up to expectations
• the inseration of a random new protagonist
• lack of information presented before their shepard made his choice
• essientially being a reaper off button +plot holes galore
• introducing a new theme, in the 11th hour, that was almost counter to the themes we'd lived through in the first 2.9 games

Releasing more cut scenes doesn't change any of that. And telling us to wait a few months to see these cut scenes is just a PR tactic to quell the fire.

The negativity many treat this with is disheartening.

As bad as the ending is BioWare are addressing it, not just with clarity and closure but also PERSONALIZATION aka showing the results of your choices.

It is also FREE.

This is a much better result than I expected. Of course it doesn't address everything (thematic disconnect, bad storytelling) and remains to be seen how good it will end up being, but outright negativity is not the way to recieve this announcement.

This!

Thank the Goddess. Please let it be indoctrination theory.

You have to be kidding.  It is just added epilogues and cutscenes.  As I have said five million times before.  IT is, and always has been, absolute BS.  They aren't changing the endings.

It's amazing.  You would have thought Ray's blog post would have been enough to put IT to bed when he outright said these are the endings.  Now you have a release saying they will add some videos and epilogues (no gameplay) which should finally put this IT crap to bed and people still cling to it?  Unreal.

I also think IT isn't true, but this information in no way disproves it. BioWare is being very vague, possibly intentionally so. They say they're
not changing the endings, they're adding clarification. That's so vague
it could be anything.



For example, they could simply say that we don't understand the ending,
because we haven't seen the whole thing. The "clarification" would then
reveal that Goku stopped the Reapers while Shepard was unconscious, and
everything after that point was just a dream. They didn't directly
contradict the previous ending, and they added clarification, so
technically, they didn't lie. Even though we now have an ending where
Goku saves the day.



Obviously I'm being facetious. My point though, is that due to the vague
wording, they can change anything they feel like without actually
changing anything. This means nothing is off the table, and nothing is
any different than it was before the announcement, except we know it
will be coming in summer.

They will release some kind of happy ending crap to shut people up and thats it

I doubt this to be true since  the whole issue had nothing (or very little) to do with having a happy ending.

[Bronze65]

Why don't you all take a deep breath and relax before assuming what it is they're giving us here? This is where everyone looks like entitled whiners now. I'm sure we'll find out more, likely tomorrow.

[luzburg]

When is it avavible or is it now. cant see it on origin

still i smell disaster

[masjex]

It will be interesting to see what it is they add but personally I don't care too much about this.

I'm with Justin Clouse of The Escapist on the matter. The endings are not just bad but broken. Based on this statement from EA I can't see this extended cut changing this.

So will probably download and see what it is exactly, but the view of my Mass Effect experience is likely to remain the same: Brilliant moments forever to be marred by '...but that ending.'

[sammysoso]

Free extra content? Hell yes. Bravo BioWare, bravo

[Auterbot]

Thank you Bioware! Now I have an excuse to play all three games again!

Age has nothing to do with maturity.

There is a casual link. Just not a correlation. I, however, was quite a mature 12 year old. I'd gone through a lot by the time I'd reached 12.

[blmlozz]

Anyone else curious what happens when this "expires"? Will they start charging people for it, or what?

"OFFER EXPIRES APRIL 12, 2014"

my guess is they'll remove it from servers completly. They're still charging full-rate for 2 year old DLC for ME2, this being a money looser, I can't expect they'll let it soakup bandwidth forever. The people that want it will download it almost immediatly, any likely populate the dlc on 100s of private servers for anyone else.

Besides the fact that this is supposed to be the EOL for the series. 2 years from now the brand will be dead on some $9.99 isle at gamestop.

[ahandsomeshark]

Although personalized for each player raises my hopes, at this point there's really no more information being given that what we've all known for weeks about the clarification DLC.

I see a lot of people saying, "ALRIGHT, END OF INDOCTRINATION THEORY!"

...but is it? I mean, couldn't they do 3 "extended cuts" of whether or not you trumped Indoctrination?

Do you know what cinematics means?  They are just adding cutscenes and epilogues.  No gameplay.  No IT.  There never was any indoctrination.
