Well, there is other gaming companies I think.

Don't want to spend muy money with them anymore, and their DLC, they can sit on it...

JPR out!

Fredo Bioware, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels trade shows. I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother go to conventions, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

*turns around and walks away*

Well, to be honest, it's not 100% the way I wanted it, but atleast they have the most important part of it: The closure. The endings wasn't that ****ty, the only real problem I had, was no closure, and plot holes. So clarification on the plot holes, and closure to Shepard and squadmates, that is all I wanted. So this better be good Bioware, and if it is, my faith has been restored! Also its free! Good on you!

Are there going to be more/different endings or ending DLCs in the future?
No. BioWare strongly believes in the team's artistic vision for the end of this arc of the Mass Effect franchise. The extended cut DLC will expand on the existing endings, but no further ending DLC is planned.


Meanwhile in reality...

I had that planet as my desktop background at one point a while ago. Imagine my utter dissappoint, after going through that manure pile of an ending, I saw it as the very last thing in my favorite trilogy of all time.

My god...the horror. The lazyness...


Have to admit, the woman in the stock photo is damn gorgeous.

Sigh...I guess since it's free I'll download it and load up an endgame save but I highly doubt that any "clarification content" will fix the ending. Unless this DLC really wows me, which I doubt, it'll probably be the last Bioware product I obtain, including future ME3 DLC (what's the point when the galaxy explodes?).

That's just my take on it. I'm sure others will give future products the benefit of the doubt but I really don't like the fact that, unless major revelations are made in this DLC that show us why the galaxy is not screwed six ways till Sunday, they nuked the Mass Effect universe because it's dramatic and "artistic". You don't just...EXPLODE a galaxy like that, unless you're torching the series, and you can't explain it or do it proper justice in a cutscene. If they wanted to nuke the galaxy make it happen at the beginning of Mass Effect 4, where you could spend the game showing the effects and consequences of it and how the galaxy got around such a catastrophic event, not at the end of Mass Effect 3 where the most you can do is make a cutscene that says, "and then people did this and this this many years in the future to fix stuff. We can't really show you it or let you explore it but that's what happened".

Let me have my gotdang victory; let me have my happiness and cake and cheering crowds across the galaxy. Nuke the galaxy in Mass Effect 4 so you don't have to take into account all the choices from the first trilogy, I don't care; just don't do it at the end of ME3 where you make me feel like everything I did was pointless.

Whatever I guess.<_<

Really, -really-? This is -exactly- what people are not asking for. If you're going to listen to your fans, do it right. Don't try and explain your ending, we've already done that, it's crap. It's bad, bad writing. Don't explain it. acting as though there's a hidden meaning or deep message to be found at all is insulting. There are numerous examples as to why your ending fails on every conceivable level.

It's not that we "don't get it". We do, that's the problem, we get that it's crap.

Alas, I am done with you, Bioware.

Until I get a refund I'll settle for being glad EA is wasting money and developer time on DLC no one will buy

Bioware: Sit down class. We've added cutscenes and a datapad to educate you on what you couldn't comprehend of our glorious ending.

I find it kind of insulting that they feel the need to hold our hands through a flawed ending.

You can glorify and explain away a chicken mcnugget but you know it is still breaded chicken paste.

Alright thats it, they are giving us a FREE dlc that will extrapolate on the endings and you guys are STILL whining? That's it, all the talk of the retake movement being entitled brats is completely true at this point! You guys are just whining for the sake of whining. Go be miserable elsewhere, I am sick and tired of listening to it your constant disgust with everything that isn't perfect in your screwed up minds.


With that said, I thank you very much Bioware, I certainly did not expect this to be free, you have gone above and beyond my expectations, especially as someone who really enjoyed the current endings but felt they could have used a bit more work. Sorry for the reactions here, thankfully, not all of the fans of the game are radicals who hate everything that isn't 100% perfect in their minds.

That said, haters gonna hate.



I don't think you get it. People still complain becuase they did not get what they where asking for. Not even close. Its like asking for something to drink and someone hands you a cheese slicer. And then gets offended when you say you didnt get what you asked for.


I have a hard time believing that a "clarification DLC" can salvage this mess of an ending.

In the current ending Bioware shows you a turd, and the fans asks "wtf is this???" and Bioware says nothing.

With the clarification DLC its more like this:
Bioware shows you a turd, and the fans asks "wtf is this???" and Bioware says "it's a turd".


But I don't care anymore. I've given up and i'm at peace with that.
Knowing that at least I won't waste any more money on Bioware.

Extended cut was one of the things I alluded to. We are working our butts off to make this amazing, gratifying, and over to you ASAP

Can you also clarify the blown up relays and how everything isn't... well.. ya know... dead? How will more Mass Effect games exist? Or were you planning on prequels (who cares) ?

The ending's still pretty terrible. There is nothing artistic about it. That said, at least BioWare's releasing this for free. Charging for it would be utterly unacceptable.

The villain of the entire trilogy is still the star child introduced in the final scene.

The conflict of the game is still derailed and replaced with some bull crap "AI is bad" nonsense, even though Shepard has AI friends, allies, and crew.

Shepard fails to save the galaxy. Shepard loses.

By forcing Shepard to choose from among 3 nonsensical reaper-approved colors, the Reapers win.

What makes you think I want this bull crap extended? By defending the existing endings, saying you're proud of them even though you have to know they are complete trash, you have lost your artistic integrity--and your artistic credibility--because you are dishonest.

I will do what I always said I would do. I will download this thing when it comes out and play through it. Then I will review the game with the "extended ending" and score it on several different sites. I will be honest. Unless the polish you put on this turd accomplishes something miraculous, I will be done with pre-orders and collector's editions from BioWare, and I'll be picking up games from this developer only if they are well reviewed by actual consumers, and then only when the ultimate edition with all the stuff included becomes available for less than $30.

So basically I need deleted and cut content to fully understand why the ending is bad and full of plot holes?
I don't think showing my two squad mates getting killed is going to explain why they are suddenly on the Normandy with Joker?
I don't think showing epilogues is going to fix the massive stink the team created by lying to everyone throughout the development of the game and saying the things we do in the game actually matter.

None of these things are being fixed so who exactly is this appeasing?

I found your "art"

social.bioware.com/forums/forum/1/topic/355/index/10951718/1

I'll also say this again, if you as the artist HAVE to tell me / "clarify" that your work is art, guess what.. its not.

Bioware needs to realize that it's not because of the lack of knowledge that we dislike the ending.

It's because it is so badly written that we hate it.

The godchild and the 10.000 plotholes are why, not because we didn't see what happened to the rest of the galaxy (Which we pretty much know because we blew up half of the galaxy).

The Starchild and BlueGreenRed are going to stay?

Well, that's not what I wanted.

This means to never buy anything from EA BioWare again.

I feel sorry for the 95% (I guess that number  of course, the figure could be higher) of Bioware employees who have to tow the company line on the endings......

Currently, Bethesda developers are in a meeting with something along the lines of this being said:
"Perkins, what's the news with EA and Bioware?"
"They f**ked up, sir."
"Alright, that's our cue gentlemen, what do we have on the table to bring in the angry Bioware fans?"
"We should have something to show off by the time they're done with their statement at PAX, sir."
"Excellent, this is the moment we knew was coming for a month now, remember everyone, put on your honest faces and halos, they won't be able to resist the offers of DLC we can give them."
"Sir, apparently several other companies are also preparing DLC and news about their games to drive the population away from Mass Effect 3, should we do something about it?"
"No Perkins, We'll all work together on this one and blow Bioware out of business in one fell swoop."
"Sir, you're a genius, no wonder we aren't in the position they're in."
"I know, right? What kind of idiot writer thinks that people would be happy with a kid apparently controlling everything, and then seeing everyone they know and love being stranded on a planet with some of your best friends doomed to starvation and the rest doomed to die from overpopulation?"
