...and I wondered what happened to all those execs who worked at Coca-cola when they changed the recipe to "New Coke".

Good to see you found work in the game industry.

Honestly i'm in two minds about this and I don't think i'm alone.
On one hand it is good that bioware are sticking to their so called artistic vision, and the fact they bothered to do this at all, let alone for free, shows they are at least listening to fans concerns (though judging the strength of feeling over the endings they probably didnt have much choice).

On the other hand however I doubt this will be enough to placate fans (myself included) who thought the endings were terrible. If they only attempt to expand or clarify the original endings people will still be unsatisfied because at the end of the day they still have 16 endings that are essentially the same (unless they change the cinematics or offer DAMN good epilogues to each seperate ending) and I honestly don't think any amount of explaining will fix them into anything that gives the mass effect series even half of the ending it deserves. Still, We dont even know what will be in this extended cut so lets wait and see. after all, anythings possible

I'm out.
I could take the bad ending,sure,you can't hate someone for bad writing.
But I'm done with these PR statements that just boil down to "F**k you,were awesome".
I'll save my money for Valve from now on.

Quoted with great praise. Is the guy who runs this "artistic vision preservation society" under Bioware employ or EA i wonder.  

EA customer relations, I guess. Just one other PR-initiate, putting his new "communications-skills" to the test.

[IBPROFEN]

Shouldn't that OP statement started off "with all due respect"? it seems implied to me anyway.

Will the size of my extended cut depend on my war assets? Does anything depend on my war assets? Or was it cynical artificial content expansion? Thought so. You can release your extended cut straight to youtube.

Hello Bioware team.

I hope you have a greater plans associated with these closures and clarifications... Such as continuation DLCs (Indoctrination attempt or something...Anything).

You MUST understand that people will never be content with one generic ending. You cannot just squeeze everything back to a single path. It's insulting for us. We all thought Sheppard's story (OUR STORY), what we did, would have a determinant effect on it's outcome.

You must, at least BRANCH OUT the ending in several different outcomes with some form of epilogue regarding surviving NPCs, galactic nations and "our" love interest. Does endings can all be bitter sweet to some extend, but color coding? Seriously?

You have driven us to passion with this story because we felt that it made sense and that, for once, we had some degree of control over the outcome of our journey... Not only did you deprive us from it, you literally crushed our moral and time investment with an outcome that makes the reapers look like saviors. This killed all replay value for me...

I am disappointed. I feel cheated... But there is still hope!

Have a nice day!

I feel I should apologize to Bioware for my previous post in this thread. I may have overreacted a bit (and to be honest the condescending tone of the origional post from Bioware did not help any).

I have been with Bioware since the days of Baldur's Gate. So I am willing to give them another shot and see how this ending "Clarification" plays out and then decide if they are still worth my time and money.

Good luck Bioware. Please don't F*** this up.

Stupid Ending + Increased Clarity = Increasingly Stupid Ending

As long as Shep lives I'm happy.

In other words, "We're not fixing the fact that we promised many endings and gave you 3 identical endings, we're just going to put up a power-point filling in some of the gaps we left when we were rushing for the street date."

I'm done with bioware, and I'm not touching any product with any member of the ME3 team.

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.[/list]

Space magic wins, mediocrity wins. Enjoy.

RIP ME3.

"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"

How can anyone who despises the ending in its current form be possibly satisfied with this anouncement?? 
Sometimes I really don't get people...

The logic has to be that they will clairify the plotholes or lack thereof as they see it. Maybe it all does make sense and hold togther once they explain it.

No, it won't. The only plot holes they are going to fix are the ones that are created by missing cinematic content in the ending (most noteably the Joker/Normandi escape-from-earth-and-crashland-on-a-jungle-planet thing). 
Best case? They will also have new ending cinematics that actually differ from each other. Absolut best case? Joker will even be so nice as to pick up Shepard on his way to jungle planet.
But if anyone thinks that this expansion will fix a noticable amount of plot holes than they are kidding themselves...

[animadpig]

Bioware can consider me as a dead customer. No more game from Bioware/EA for me. Goodbye, the good old Bioware.

move on guys... it is the best they can do...

[Darth Sicarius]

Artistic integrity? Isn't that what broke musicians cling to? I'm sure the almighty EA masters won't care about artistic integrity when DLC sales for this game and overall sales of Dragon Age III are well below expectations because the majority of the once loyal fan base have been driven off by poor decisions, rushed games and nonsensical writing. Sadly, we are witnessing the demise of Bioware as a reputable developer. The worst part of this is that they are letting this happen.

[edwardhazelden]

I'm actually quiet excited to see what Bioware can come up with in terms of closure, I mean they could have results from our decisions and choices from the mass effect series such as letting a crew mate live through the battle or die, or why joker fled the battlefield Bioware's got one hell of a job to do but I know they will be able to do it.

Trust in Bioware.

yes, as long shepard lives... i'm fine with it..

Well...not sure I agree with their choice - but I have no control over them, or their shareholders. Had I won the Mega Millions, I'd buy up every share I could and "entice" them to change the end. Alas, I have the same amount of money pre-MM, so that ain't happening. I can only hope the BioW_EA_R releases something that at least presents a coherent end of their flagship RPG series. I thought this "Universe" had potential to rival that of Star Wars, Star Trek; I was even looking forward to a motion picture or CGI film (to enjoy all the voice actors on the big screen)....but I think they essential neutered the IP; claim otherwise all they want, but the fan-base is not happy. The ending is not "art" - other than the color choices - it's a disjointed way to conclude a great run. Now...back to "Uncharted".

[BogdanV]

I really wonder how they'll manage to squeeze an epilogue with half the crew stranded on planet Lost and the relays going nova.

Or you know, that ****ing huge Citadel falling to pieces on Earth making the dinosaur extinction seem like a cakewalk.

Or the Quarians and Turians left to starve to death, stranded in Sol while the entire Geth race gets slaughtered by Starbrat.

<sigh> Oh, lest I forget : do add more "synthetic DNA" please; I can't get enough of it.


There you have it. You drove our morale into the ground. You blew what little calm and politeness there was in us.


You know, I was there, during Westwood's final years, all the way up to C&C4. That game too was supposed to bring closure to an epic story. That game too drove the franchise into the ground.
Funny how those responsible for C&C4 are now under the BioWare brand...

Alas, I've been through this before... my sincere regards to all the great devs, both past and present, that made this company shine. You've been a great source of inspiration for me and I'll remember you for all the great moments there were !

Good luck out there.

[CommanderWilliams]

Yeah, it's free because no one buy it if it wasn't.
I expect alot more than slide shows it it won't be out for another two months at best.

This is really all I wanted. I don't need a new ending, I just want to know what the hell is going on.

I really liked how the Rachni were integrated into the final battle. All those soldiers swarming over the Reapers really gave me a sense that my decisions mattered, you know? I mean, you guys said a while ago that they'd play a big role in the final battle, and man, you totally delivered. The new DLC isn't going to, say, remove that and reduce the Rachni decision to a simple hundred points of war assets, is it?

Oh my gosh, I know! Wasn't that the best scene ever!!

I have absolute faith that this Extended Cut will be able to explain away the fact that every system with a Mass Relay was destroyed in the ending. I am sure they will not include any of the home planets; Earth, Tuchunka, Palaven, Thessia, Illium, Omega, etc., in the extended cut, because they are all gone now. And I am sure they will not include any military vessels, like the Destiny Ascension, in the Extended Cut, because they should pretty much be wiped out now as well. And I am 100% positive this Extended Cut will not have our favorite characters finding each other on backwater planets, because they have no way to travel the galaxy to get to each other anymore.
I am positive we will get a Giligan's Island redo with the remaining crew of the amazing prescient Normaandy making it work on whereever they managed to crash in whatever solar system that planet's in. (Which by the way, they would have had to leave the solar system with the mass relay they bounced into, and then head out into that star cluster to....) FUBAR
Yeah, I am waiting with baited breath....
