I'm cautiously optimistic, I guess? But I'm not too optimistic, and certainly not euphoric.

What still angers me is that they continue to dismiss the fact that MOST of their fans have been dissatisfied with their ending, still claiming that "some" fans needed closure. And their fixation on artistic integrity. I'm beginng to hate this word. It still sounds like they are completely missing the point, at that is just getting frustrating.

Im not getting my hopes up tbh.

Unless is explains all the questions and plot holes of the ending.

Still on page 5 of this thread, noting how diverse the responses are, but I gotta say... the amount of people who think this is fake? Yikes. Even I didn't think there were that many truly deluded people here.

All three of them, yes.

When is the DLC available? I heard its out 14th April and some other sites later in the summer!? Me confused (or just incredibly stupid)

READ the article... It will be released in the summer and will be availible for free till April 14th 2014 :-P

[Occulo]

So, it seems like no one is actually reading the article.

It's made up of "additional additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes [to] give fans seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes."

Gameplay is never mentioned.

People are forgetting what we fought for.

If there are ONLY cutscenes, that means we STILL have just THREE choices (Red, Blue, Green). We still have the SAME dialogue options (none). Our choices STILL don't matter.

THAT WAS A MAJOR POINT of the fight and Bioware dicked up again by just adding more movie scenes.

For me, this was the main point.

QFE!

[Chaoswind]

at least is going to be free....

quoting the less epic dialog my Shep said to Victus

"rEAper bastards"

oh well I knew this was the deal, so I'll just download this and close an epic page in my gaming history

This doesn't change the fact that the ending is still horrible.

Pretty much. The ending will still be the big pile of crap that it is right now. How is this an improvement? I like to think BioWare did this all on purpose as some great stunt but if this is true then they really DID think this ending was good. 

It'd show BioWare story telling has fallen to record lows and exposes them for the liars they are with all the false promises made about the ending. How can anyone be happy with this?

[Ieya]

Well, fingers crossed that it's good. Slightly disappointing if it's all just pre-rendered cinematics, but as http://shannon.users...net/masseffect/ has shown it's possible to give some good sense of closure and explanation even if you don't get to do anything.

[natalZ]

They just want to try to stop all the bad reviews that keep coming from users in amazon, ign, gamespot etc.

Until summer =/

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.

There's nothing vague about it.  Cinematics has a very absolute meaning in development.  It's a non-interactive cutscene.  Epilogue has a very specific meaning in this game.  Another non-interactive cutscene.  There is no gameplay.  If there was it wouldn't be free and they would be certainly highlight that in their announcement.  

Pay attention! I'm saying the meaning of clarification is vague, not epilogue, or cutscenes, or whatever!

Gameplay is NOT a requisite for changing the endings. They could do that with 2 minutes of cutscenes. And the word clarification is vague enough that they can change anything without actually changing anything so that they're still technically right.

Read this again until you get it.

I still feel them giving us this is way more than what any other game company would do...

Can we all stop thinking EA is some kind of charity compagny ? 

The only reason they are doing this is because tens of thousands of people who complained. I don't think that ever happen for a video game. 


Bioware and EA reputation was badly damage by the ending and reputation = money. They are releasing it for free not because they care, but because they calculate that in the long term they would win more money. 


And seriously I don't understand how they will fix all the plothole, might be fun to watch. Anyway I will wait until PAX, but if this is true, ID theory is pretty much dead and I predict there's a lot of people who will be unhappy 

[RustyMcBlade]

IS THIS FOR REAL?

Can I scream like a lil girl now?

YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!

[AidanTk5]

Look.

They are going to try and fix it and it's going to be free, we'll just have to see what they make of it.
In the end they did listen and they are going to do something about it. That's what we asked wasn't it?

This, over and over again.

I know you won't stop it just because I say so, but STOP IT.

Assuming this is true, you were NEVER going to get anything OTHER than this.

Never. Ever.

No matter how much you screamed. Or whined. No matter how many cupcakes you sent.

And I'm ok with it...IF it's decent. If it provides better than "Magic beaming crewmen and basically a massive implication of a totally destroyed galaxy."

But this is the absolute best you were getting and if you think or thought anything else, you're too stupid to buy any products of any kind.

Worst fanbase ever!!!

Oh i'm sorry! I'll try to have the same opinion as you from now on.

Its called free speech buddy. You don't have to like it, but its there.

Yes, i know.  And I'm using that right too!

Yeah but you insult people in your post so its now a personal attack on all those who don't agree with you, thus it is no longer free speech. Remember, free speech is only your right until you cross the line where your speech impinges on others people's rights.

Collin Moriarty will NOT be happy

But we will be.. mwuhahahha

[stonek89]

I don't know if anything can be fixed about the ending, but I'm actually looking forward to it.

[Menalaos1971]

Through additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut will give fans seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes.

Hmmm. So they're just going to try to make the current crap Ending make sense, and provide an Epilogue. So the Ending will still always suck no matter what you did in any of the games.

[Delaney]

Aha ... Okay. So BW you really go the "clarifying" way ... With cutscenes, expanded epilogue ... And new gameplay or what? Well, I'm happy that you've generally chosed a way, but if it's the right one ... We'll see. I'm curious how you - BW and especially YOU Casey Hudson - want to make this "ending" more into a "personal" experience. Does this mean that we now get our 16 different already promised endings? Do we actually will be able to do something else than watching some cutscenes? Before giving me the clarified ending I want some more clarifying concerning your statements!
Well, you've read our critics ... Okay. The DLC will be free. Good! But have you read them ALL carefully? Because ... The fans - YOUR CUSTOMERS - actually wanted NEW endings, without spacemagic etc.
But well ... I hope you reach your goal of clarifying. I doubt it. I'm still hoping, I'm still holding the line, but ... I doubt.
