The state you leave the galaxy in will be wildly different based on your choices. Especially the ending choice. They didn't lie.
I beg to differ. Based on the reaction - it would appear the mass of people disagree with that.
You choose the colour of explosion. Everything else is subjective - as in, the never actually show the result of anything else - how can I be sure anything else is changes/altered.
I do not care if big ben is destroyed, honestly its not a major concern to me, I can sleep knowing big ben was demolished by a red light - it is irrelevant to the mass effect saga.
To make that statement true you would have to SHOW us HOW things are different. At best they suggested that "Perhaps... Maybe... Possibly" things are different. Not good enough when the promise is that things "WILL" be different depending on choices - you cannot advertise closure and a black-and-white ending then deliver conjecture!
"You choose the colour of explosion. Everything else is subjective - as in, the never actually show the result of anything else - how can I be sure anything else is changes/altered."
Well, they never show Shepard taking a dump or eating, so I guess we can't be sure he does those things either. Bioware don't have to SHOW everything. If you know just a little bit about the universe, you know what consequences some of the endings would have. I agree that they could have shown it, but it really wouldn't make a difference to me.
"

But they will?
Again is comes down to their advertisements. The reasonable man theory is "What would a regular person think about this".
The fact that such a massive portion of the people you purchased ME3 is upset about it does suggest the ending did not reasonably match the ending we were promised with the advertisements.
"Mass Effect 3 will offer a satisfying end to the mass effect saga". It did not, no one can say it did because it was so subjective. You cannot with any satisfaction say you know what happened to anyone - even Shepard's last breath - does he live? Where is he? How did he survive?
He is the main character and you dont even know what happends to him - let alone squadmates, other main characters etc etc.
Satisfying? Hell no
"Radically different endings"? Definantly not, they are altered slightly with absolutely NO perspective of how the ending had effected the mass effect universe.
Edit:
(Thats not to say they didn't have a massive effect on the universe) It is to say that the ENDINGS we got were not massively different!
The massivly different endings were promised - not the suggestion that everything in the universe is different.
Well, Bioware is giving you guys a free dlc...........but you're still very angry, I guess to us people that just like the game we just want to know where line is drawn with you guys, because even with this annoucement, you guys are foaming at the mouth. And so far you guys seem waaaaaay too happy about this BBB issue.
A free DLC after I'm already down $99.95. To just 'expand' on the endings we got?
Well thats great, and I'm happy for it - but dont expect that it will be able to explain space magic or god child. It has me worried.
To have a game that was so well done - and it was virtually perfect. Then to have it turn to such a poor ending - I've said it before but it was like they got to work and thaught "stuff this, lets get this over with and go on holidays".
I know if they spent another 1-2 months on it they wouldn't have gone with that ending. (I hope to god-child they wouldn't have anyway)!
I asked you where is the line drawn with you guys, and what does it take to satisfy you and calm you're camp down while Bioware is putting out a DLC for you. Not about your finances or hypothesis about what bioware was doing/thinking while making the endings.
I can only speak for myself. What I want is an ENDING that
1) Makes sence (This is important for a sci-fi game to explain how things are possible, not to just throw in 'space magic' and ask us to 'deal with it'.
2)Closure. I want to know what happends to the universe, not just come up with theories as to what might of happened. Bioware's twitter is saying the God Child possibly lied to us - HOW ON EARTH ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? Nothing suggests this!!! How can I decide upon an a A B or C choice if the god-child is full of it?!? What am I actually doing when I pick B?!?
3)We were promised NO A, B or C endings! We got that anyway!
4)Give us MASSIVELY different endings - not Wild suggestions on what 'could possibly happen if you have a good imagination'.
At the end of the day I want what the advertisements said and what was promised by Hudson in the interviews.
Unfortunantly 'clarifying' the A B C ending will not provide this, but I will be flexible and be happy if it explains what happends AFTER i've destroyed the relays.
A B C ending - I will live with that
Each "Ending" being identical - I will live with that too.
But the prologue has to be expanded and different to show the choices made.
Considering the "No ABC Ending" and "Each ending being massively different" were the two MAIN selling points for me on this game - I will give them up for the sake of me loving Bioware as much as I do, and will accept a decent prologue.
Edit:
I forgot to mention; fix up the plot holes is also important. Which is going to be a task on its own. Explain the god-child to me, and how come it didn't just open the citadel or alert the Keepers in ME1 after the Protheans sabotaged the keeper's signal to the Reapers.
Despite the flexibility on the two main selling points - I still think its an uphill battle to cover the plot holes and explain 'every question' they created in the last 5 minuits.
