im so tired of all this "****** on them" going on around the BSN. it was bad....it has gotten worse...now it is non-sense. Im cool with being upset with the endings....I dislike the "Retake movement" and how they have been going about things though. This crap is getting so silly. GIVE US WHAT WE WANT OR ELSE mentality is CRAP. Happy ending or bust for you!! CRAP! freakin bile spewing all up around here.
I throw in the towel. If i could fling poo i would. ****** on you ingrates that are unwilling to be patient. Stuff takes time...a olive branch has been offered...rather than say.."we will see/reserve the right to accept until seeing what it is you are offering"...you say "GO TO HELL!"
Game over man!!
retake my sanity.
see my movement (BM baby!!).

Bah, you never accept the first offer in a negotiation!
This made me laugh...I wish it was a negotiation. I'm interested to see what they come up with but no epilogue or extended cutscene will be able to fix the emptiness and absence of story and dialogue in this game. I'm trying to work up the motivation to continue a different playthrough from the previous two games then the one I beat ME3 with the first time to see if one of them has more dialogue but I doubt it.
I think that for the most part what we have is what we get, but who knows...maybe they CAN make it better......

You don’t even know how Bioware are going to expand upon these endings. When we complained about the current ME3 endings, a lot of diehard fans called us a bunch of crybabies because we didn’t get the ending we wanted. Yet we still as we liked to call it, held the line. Now I believe it is time to sit back and see what Bioware have planned for this extended ending, because we’re lucky to get this. They could have easily just said "no, screw you, that’s our ending, live with it”. Sure, they might have lost a lot of fans but they’d still have enough to keep business afloat.
It's not that I didn't get the ending I wanted, it's that I got an ending that I didn't want. The ending had no connection to any of the preceeding game or the preceeding games. I don't call it "lucky" that Boiware has decided I'm not intelligent enough to understand the ending and thus need "clarification". I understand the ending, I simply think it substandard and one of the weakest examples of writing that I have ever experienced. It also fulfills none of the pre-release desriptions of the game. As for Bioware saying "no, screw you, that’s our ending, live with it”, ummm, they did just that except they also added that they had to do this "clarifiaction" due to our lack of understanding. Sorry, I'm not the one lacking anything here.

You never know, it could be expanded into like an epilogue similar to what Dragon Age: Origins did. Now DA:O essentially only had one ending (save for you living or dying, or someone else killing the Archdemon, but the big picture was that it was just one ending - the Archdemon died and the Blight ended), yet it had a massive epilogue that detailed the events of what happened after the game thanks to your character. ME3’s extended ending could have something like that, and yet while it is just basically text on a screen, I still played through DA:O loads of times just to get a different epilogue each time.
Which still leaves me with an ending that fails on nearly every level of writing standards that I expect from a company that is charging me for the right to experience that writing. If this was fanfic, I'd still be disappointed but you get what you pay for. In this instance, I payed for professional writing and got fanfic.

So can we just be calm for a few weeks and see what this expanded ending offers before jumping to conclusions? We wanted closure, now we're getting it. If you really honestly expected them to do something like the indoctrination theory, then let this be a lesson to you. Don't put faith in theories, no matter how convincing they may be.
What has waiting achieved so far? Not all of us wanted simple closure, many of us wanted an ending that was consistent with the preceeding 2.99 games, not a rabbit pulled out of a hat. We also already know what Bioware is offering in their DLC. They state it quite bluntly, just as they have always been quite blunt about never having considered changing the end. It was simply people refusing to believe that Bioware would do this to them that kept the hope of a new ending alive. Personally, I never gave the indoctrination hypothesis any creedence. It was just as full of holes and inconsistencies as what Bioware gave us.
As to what to do next, I don't see any outcome that will be to my satisfaction, so I'll simply move on and treat EA and Bioware as another Ubisoft....a company that doesn't care for my money. That's fine, I don't care for their product.

But now they have said they are not going to change the endings but add DLC clarification. So they are STILL NOT doing what the movement was for, yet now we are being unreasonable for being upset for Bioware not actually doing what we wanted in the first place.
You seem to have been listening to the star child with your circular logic BS.

I agree with most of this, but I am one that wants a happy ending through this DLC.
I feel like I need to copy and paste this in every thread, but:
People need to calm the hell down. We don't even know the details of what this DLC will be, and people already want to burn BioWare at the stake for it.

BioWare cannot be trusted, they have been lying for over an year about the endings. They keep ignoring us and giving us the same PR bull**** over and over but more importantly they treat us like we're idiots that don't know what is truly going on. No, I think that what is happening now is what has to happen. I'm tired of seeing game companies abusing gamers because they think we're all morons who will buy anything regardless of how crappy it is.
BioWare and EA are not going to get away with it. Either BioWare starts giving facts or they start to get ready for more of what's happening now.

Then I went online and learned that I had, basically, seen the ONLY ending. My annoyance raised to a 5.
Then I began reading the press releases, etc, about artistic integrity and the customers don't matter. My annoyance level hit 10 WEEKS ago. It's not about the ending anymore. It's about Bioware's attitude towards the customer. Too artistic for my money? No problem. Lots of artists out there who want it.

True we don't know what is being put into the DLC. But we know what isn't being put in it:
New endings
Changed endings
That leaves very little to be optimistic about until they deign to give us somthing to actually look forward to.

You cannot change the ENTIRE ending to a game. You know how much money and time that would cost? It would also discount the endings of before - endings a group of people liked - while also having to keep the story jointed with the past events of the game, particularly matters involving the Crucible, the Citadel, the Illusive Man, and the whole motivation of going to Earth in the first place.
What you guys are "demanding" for is unreasonable. You should take what you get and I'm surprised Bioware is even doing this - FREE DLC that will give closure, epilogue, and more cinematic scenes to the player.
Jesus Christ this is pathetic.

I agree. I know they didn't exactly tell us what we wanted to hear, but this could still go well. We don't know what all this DLC will entail (HOPEFULLY Bioware knows just extra cinematics isn't going to cut it) so I'm willing to hold judgement and wait and see. I really am crossing my fingers Bioware gets this right, though. They MUST recognize the direness of this whole thing, that if they misstep now, it will be the point of no return.
In customer service, it's important to avoid saying "no" to a customer. This announcement essentially did that to a lot of fans: "No we are not providing new endings" "No we are not changing the things you disliked" The only positive statements we got are the usual vague platitudes about "CLarification" and "closure" This is not instilling goodwill in the fans. RIght now they need to provide something both positive and definite that people can get behind.
"We are not providing new endings but what we can provide is [something"] And that something could be any number of things "We will explain the planet the Normandy landed on" "The armada in the Sol system is not necesarilly doomed, you will see the aftermath of the battle" "The conversation wit hthe WStarchild will be extended, and you will be able to ask questions" 'Shepard can survive in certain endings and be reunited with the LI (that one would be very well received, I think)
But as it is, Bioware is not giving us any reason to be excited about this DLCD, and every reason to be suspicious of it.

This. They were very clear about this... no new endings.
If this announcement today was in anyway meant to cool the fire, and announce DLC tomorrow... guess what? The community already is starting a wallet boycott.
Foul things are in the air, and Bioware lit something on fire.

Yes, its their job to make the game and fix some of the bugs. However, its not their job to put out free DLC to make everyone happy. Their job was to make the game, which they did. Their job is to fix the bugs, which they are having a hard time doing but none the less, they are trying. When it came to the endings, they didn't have to do anything. The reason why they did was because so many of you members of the Bioware community got your panties in a knot about the ending. Yes, the ending sucked, but a game should be remembered by overall story and gameplay. The game is good, they did a good job. The ending sucked, yes, but get over it. Now they are giving free DLC just to make all the people who cried about the ending happy. Myself, if I worked for Bioware, I would've just laughed at all the complainers and left everything as it was. Beggers can't be choosers.Sesshaku wrote...
Well im sorry if im not happy with crap.
I can't be happy that bioware "cared enought to be even doing this". It's their jobs not charity. I don't clap on people who crossed the streets on green, its their duty to do so.
And I still want the diverse endings they promised, not a clarification of a failed ending that i suspect will not explain the plotholes. I will give them the right of doubt though, but i suspect that summer is going to be HOOOOOOOOOOTTTT.

I agree, to a degree.
But you also have to understand, BioWare have taken some steps so specifically say that they won't be adding anymore choices. Which means they won't be dealing with the A, B, C, ending they said we wouldn't get. They also said they won't be changing the ending (which means the ending and choices won't reflect the choices you made throughout the series).
Basically, everything they promised and broke - they aren't addressing. Yeah, it's cool they are clarifying and expanding more on the ending. It was poorly told, and it definitely needs some clarification. But how do you expect fans to not be upset at this?
Essentially, they are saying: we listened to you, we don't agree, deal with it.

I don't want to blow anyhting up. I just want my money's worth for products i purchased.
At any rate, sooner's better than later for telling us what the DLC will be. Like I pointed out in a previous post, they've told us customers a lot of "no" without telling us any "yes" Keeping us in the dark about what to look forward to is not the way to calm people down. The focus will continue to be what the DLC isn't until they tell us something about what the DLC is.

I'm not saying you want to blow BioWare...why are we even talking about this? Never mind.
You're being reasonable about all of this. There are plenty of people here who are doing the exact opposite, though.
