Hard to believe they still "hold the line" while everyone saying it's a failure.
I'm wondering what they're listening those days.
Maybe they really need to exhibit what kind of feedback they got.
We really are showing we don't like the ridiculous three lights with only one meaning, are we?

I'll ask THIS again:

Aren't ending VARIATIONS still possible? Based on decisions and EWS?

Say certain cutscenes etc. only fire if you did X, thus affecting the epilogue you'll get?

That means that whatever was already there remains intact, clarifications are added and ending variables are included.

Everybody wins?


This'd make sense, live up to the hype, promises and advertising that was put out by the game leads, would please most of the Retake movement and would be totally non-artistic, so won't happen.


Well, it's perfectly within the limits of this DLC. So I have hope.

 I believe Bioware made an effort but it isnt good enough and if I was Bioware I would hold off on future products, dont believe they will have the support or customers they had prior to March 6th.


I saw this quote before...  well not this quote, some quotes very similar. 

It was back when Dragon Age 2 came out.  And those people that made the quote now have the Mass Effect 3 logo in their profile.  And are complaining now most likely.

Thats the thing with a lot of these vocal "fans".  You will shout all day, but you really aren't going to take your custom elsewhere.  If you were, you would have done it by now.  Bioware make games that are better than what other people make.  If you take the ending of ME3 away most people complaining would call it game of the year.

If you people really want to make a stance, you should just go.  Leave BSN, stop buying Bioware products, do not download Bioware DLC even if it's free and just go.  But you aren't prepared to do that.  And buy you i mean the whole retake group, not the person i'm quoting. 


Well said. I have a friend that hated the ending and he's not going to buy any more bioware games. Of this I'm sure because once Square Enix screwed up a game, he dropped them as well.

That is hilarious Bioware listening almost as good as Russian government. Listening but not giving a damn about what they heard. I think will not give another cent to Bioware and that will be a part of my artistic integrity, alright.

Though we remain committed and are proud of the artistic choices we made in the main game, we are aware that there are some fans who would like more closure to Mass Effect 3. The goal of the DLC is not to provide a new ending to the game, rather to offer fans additional context and answers to the end of Commander Shepard's story.


Thanks to Bioware for responding to some of our concerns.  Unfortunately, I cannot agree that the artistic choices that were made in Mass Effect 3 enrich the ME universe in a manner that allows me to continue to enjoy it.  I hope other fans are satisfied with the DLC, and I hope that new fans continue to enjoy it.  Thanks for all of the good times, Bioware.  It was a lot of fun, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

No, but it also doesn't mean you should instantly **** down it's neck either.

that is what I take issue with. 


Yeah this should not be done. What they did was a kind jesture, we should wait and see what this will bring. Also now you are letting the gaming journalists your advocated were lieing about you the fuel to prove otherwise. You are painting a damning picture of the "movement" and pushing the stigma of gamers.

This is also after I read the blog from Forbes, which has been herald by being true the entire time. Now that his opinion is different from your you do the exact same thing, that shows that you are falling into the entitlement range.



I am confused by what you are trying to say...

For one, I contribute to a website as a writer, so technically I am a "gaming journalist" in the loose sense of the word. You are right, I am painting a damning picture of the movement right now. But for the past month I have been open to what they are intneding to do.

the problem I see, however, is that they keep knee-jerking over things like this and it doesn't look good. So it is less of perpetuating a myth, and more of pointing out the fallacy of this opinion.

So if I am falling into that trap, I am not intending to that is for sure.  But at the same time, I am just losing my patience with this whole ordeal because, despite myself staying as neutral as possible, this is starting to get ridiculous. 


I am not trying to call you out, since I did not know you were a gaming journalist. I was using the basic brush of IGN, Gamespot, Kotatu, etc. I am sorry for the confusion on this. 

I am also in the same boat for this now, trying to see both sides of the coin, while I may not be the best cause I can be opinionated in RL. To me I do not think you are falling into a trap, emotions wrile us up and we can respond not in the best of manner.


Oh no, its fine. Don't worry about that. I am just...just starting to lose patience I guess.

As I say, that would be stupid as it would be pointless. Think about it, what would be the point. The galaxy can only end up in ruins so it wouldn't have any significance. If it was an important part of the story, it would have been told already. If it wasnt all that important, it wouldn't matter as the outcome of the series is always cast in red,blue or green stone and thus it isn't really worth telling.


I never said it was smart. Now let me ask you, forget whether the endings are good or bad, what's the point of having any DLC if this is the last game of Shepard's story?


Thats because you are smart and the idea of pre-ending DLC being heralded as another story of The Shepard isn't smart. Hence my original question. 

What was the point of having grandfather say there is one more Shepard story if this was supposedly the end of the story and there isn't going to be any post-ending DLC??

Thats ignoring  the fact he's dead in almost every ending as well .It makes no sense.

Well put. So am I.

Though I am very happy to hear that it is free. BioWare has redeemed themselves a little by me.

This is another insult to fans. So after all this we'll only get cinematics and epilogue? No gameplay at all? This shouldn't be called a DLC, this is a freaking patch and Bioware/EA is calling DLC to score some points with angry fans by making it free. I hope at least EA doesn't screw up the indoctrination theory because if turns out the endings were real, the plotholes will still be there.

Lastly i like to thank bioware for making such an awesome game, for listening to the opinion of the fans, and will be eagerly awaiting this summer's dlc

Damn. Free DLC? I wonder how EA let this one slide? They must be upset after that worst-company-poll thing.

I don't understand why they won't give the option for other endings though, considering it would remove a lot of the hate towards bioware/ea. I mean I just can't see a reason for not doing it? I suppose "artistic integrity" is their reason, but come on.


I COULD be clutching at straws here...

But they only said that the endings we have won't be CHANGED.

This still leaves the option for additional ending variables, no? As in...not entirely new endings but differing cutscenes, epilogues etc.?


"BioWare will expanding on the ending to Mass Effect 3 by creating additional cinematics and epilogue scenes to the existing ending sequences"

Yeah, but at the moment I fail to see how this will fix the endings.

I'm one of those guys who hated DA2. But I bought ME3 only because it was made by an entirely different team than that of DA2. Had it been the same team you can be sure I wouldn't have purchased it.

Won't repeat my mistake.

Taking bets: all that will be in this "extended ending" was that cut dialog from NPCs like Kirrahe during the final battle.

Buddy, you got me wrong! I'm 100% right there, with you. People who complain about plot holes are too dumb to understand they are FEATURES! I mean, how dense can you get? People wanting consistensy and good writing. Pffft!


As I thought.

You demonstrated my point perfectly, given your unability to comprehend neither minimally what I said. I'm not perplexed at al about the rest given this.

I said that just because this "ending" is not an ending at all, giving what you call "plot-holes" is a good thing. And since I understand perfectly that you cannot grasp why I will give you an hint: momentum. If you end a story fully and you want to start another with the same background then you have to start from beginning and the momentum of before will be lost.

Think about it, I'm sure you can grasp it if you want.


Translation: If you want to sell DLC for the next year or two for the game, you cannot give it a proper ending, otherwise how would you sell DLC and make more money?



If you like to see it that way. But as is said: the Devil is never as bad as depicted.

Let me ask you this: let's pretend you are Bioware. You began a series many years ago and didn't know how it would have gone. You projected it to be a trilogy. Then in the meantime you have what is Mass Effect now, a product that sells a lot and it is liked by million of people. By and by you understood that what you created etc. has made a profound impact and has grown to a proportion you didn't believe possible (and not only about the money, but also for creativity purposes, experimentations etc.), would you let it die just because you projected at beginning that it could have been a good trilogy and nothing more?

And let's suppose that you don't want to end it this way and instead you have a lot of ideas more. Just because people want it to "end" you let it really die instead of using the momentum created by the story? Would you just give an "ending" that all people want that could REALLY destroy the franchise forever (because you have to create another setting anew, without the momentum and it can totally fail, destroying everything) or you use that momentum to continue the saga that you so love?

Think about it and ask sincerely, without playing the "angry customer card or EA is the devil's one".

All in all, this is just horrible. The Mass Effect series will be forever remembered as biggest nose dive in history of gaming. And Bioware is letting it happen, all because of "artistic integrity"
The ending is utter garbage, it's and asspull with no roots in the Mass Effect lore, and this is what they're willing to destroy their reputation to protect? The writers should be ashamed of themself, they've ruined what could have been the best game series ever, and turned it into a joke.
And it doesn't even look like they understand why ppl are upset.
"We're listening" TO WHOM!? Surely not the majority of the fans who are unhappy with the ending, that much is crystal clear from your statement.
My last ray of hope flickered out and died when I read it, as I'm sure it did for alot of others aswell.
This is NOT what the majority of us wants.
We said:  Your ending is horrible!
Your reply:  Ok, here's more of it!
Dear lord

Dragon Age: Origins had a really satisfying ending. Bioware should talk to the studio that made that game and figure out what they did.

Thank you Bioware. I for one am extremely happy that you chose to provide further substance to the ending(s) without giving in to all the unbelievable entitlement and whining circulating over the internet.
ME3 is a great game above all, with only minor issues, that provides the trilogy with a good albeit surprising ending.
I was, am and will be a Bioware fan and supporter for a very long time.

Yeah we don't want just closure. We also want endings with more variety where our choices mattered. At least one happy one. I spent 80 bucks. This better be good Bioware or you're all dead to me and many others too.

Why can't we have a DLC where the crucible gets rid of the Reaper's shields, and the outcome would be determined on the number of War Assets we acquired?

Simple, but effective.

Son, I hate to break it to you. There's no IT, there's no speculation. It's just bad writing. I really hope you enjoy the "extended cut" of what is already known. Hold the line.
