I really don't think you guys get it.
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.
It is actually quite simple from a download point of view. As for the money, what do you think they took in from all the ME3 games that were sold?
If you use the indoctrination theory (feasible and realistic idea with merit) then in 2 versions Shepard is dead and you continue the mission as Anderson and either your squad mates you took or two of the military fighters we saw in London like that British sniper (forgot his name). this new squad gose up to the Citadel and activates the Crucible thing and destroys the Reapers.
If Shepard lived then he/she can finish the mission either alone, with Anderson, or your squad. In this version you might actually have various choices on how to stop the Reapers.
A paragon choice would be to destroy them.
A renegade choice would be to control them.
(funny how in the game you don’t even get a paragon or renegade choice unlike the previous games)
From there you go into the actual ending of the game where you get an epilogue ending the story perhaps a bit like how Dragon Age Origins ended where Shepard talks to all the surviving friends and crew before meeting up with their love interest to end the story properly.
It is really that simple and reasonable. But nope, we get some filler stuff that will try and explain the craptacular ending of the game. They wont even try and do something like what I came up with in minutes, from a dialog with someone about a week ago.
The resolution with TIM could be easily (and should be) handled by a download story. Would he be trying to rebuild Cerberus somehow? Could you get him to repent somehow or just go renegade and kill him?
Oh and take what we get? Seriously? Games cost to much these days to waste on some insulting joke of an end that we got with ME3. Plot holes aside, it fails to come close to the ending of ME1 or ME2 and this is the end of the trilogy. You don’t end a epic story with unresolved questions and with a huge cliffhanger ending leaving the player to wonder what happened.
That would be like if Return of the Jedi ended right when Luke is getting electrocuted by the Emperor as Vader thought about what to do and then suddenly we get random scenes showing the Death Star blowing up and Han and Lea on Bespin with Chewie holding Vader’s helmet. Then months later Lucas release a final cut version that adds some extra content and an epilogue of sorts to “explain” what the hell happened. Wonder how many Star Wars fans would have “taken what they got” with that. This is no different.
