Yeah, OP, because rewarding crap with more of your money is a good idea.


Again, some of us liked the game. Just because you think it's crap doesn't mean it's crap.

Cos EC means relays arent destroyed oh wait....

Seriously who cares the ends dumb I got over it. I played some multiplayer and I enjoyed it. I have no interest in the extended maintains artist integ ending. I'd rather have a nice side story.

So you'd rather pay them more money for DLC than have them try to amend the ending for free? Even though you hate the ending. Talk about mixed messages.

Why would anyone give more money to something they were disappointed with? I can understand liking the end and then wanting paid DLC but given you've stated you disliked the ending doesn't it render such DLC pointless? Why reward them for having let you down?

Agreed.

And the sarcasm of "is a good idea" is so tired, that I actually groaned as I read it.

If you are going to crucifie the ec before it comes out and assume the endings are just going to forever suck and that no dlc will ever be worth anything ever than why bother even coming here to the forums instead of the other parts of the forum, all you'll get are disappointing fan reactions and enraging posters who aren't as sad as you.

I see a lot of people talking about Omega DLC, but I havn't seen any other than pure speculation as to whether or not it is actually going to be made?

Fine, you can go ahead and buy it if you like, but it makes no sense to me to see people who openly admit that the ending was bad jumping at the chance to pay money for DLC.

If the product wasn't up to your expectations, you don't reward the company by continuing to sink money into the product. This is something the OP openly admits. Just because he's "over it" doesn't change the fact that he clearly found the initial product sub-standard.

And when the company rewards you by releasing their next big title as a substandard game with even more of the stuff you find substandard, you'll all wonder why they did it.

Clearly EC is more than just added exposition by the Catalyst, or the other VAs wouldn't be recording voice work. Logic, people.

This is my hope too. And I'll reserve my judgement on any further material from the game until after I've seen it. Maybe they'll fix it, but if they don't, I won't be spending any more of my money on it.

I also won't be pre-ordering anything else from BioWare.

I'm really hoping you're right, I've just lost my faith in Bioware.

Either way, until this is resolved in a satisfactory manner, I'm not interested in the Omega or any other DLC.

Who cares about Omega.. I mean what importance does it have to the story? So we help Aria get omega back, just sounds like waves of fighting enemies to me, even if they make it I have no interest in it.

OH NOES! IT'S DELAYING THE FUTURE OMEGA RETAKEN DLC, OH GOD NO!!!!!

Seriously? Who gives a flying ****. It's a freaking side-story/mission centered around a side-character that has absolutely no meaning when taken in the context of how the whole story ends.

If you can't bear to wait for more Carrie Anne to get off to go watch the Matrix, the EC is pivotal for a huge amount of fans and directly influences whether DLC such as this is even relevant.

Again, none of you know anything about the extended cut.

Nothing. Not one thing.

All you know is that the current endings are not changing.

You don't know if the extended cut will explain those endings to perfection. You don't know if it'll be terrible. You don't know if there will be gameplay. You don't know if it'll be just cinematics or a giant Powerpoint slideshow. You don't know if it'll be the most awesome thing ever.

The fact remains: YOU DON'T FREAKING KNOW.

So please, keep making yourselves look like complete idiots. It's really giving me a good laugh throughout the day.



Well we do know a few things, like it won't contain any gameplay, and that it is going to expand on the endings. if it keeps the start child then it has to be indoctrination otherwise my points still remain valid in that the star childs existence means that the whole main story of mass effect 1 does not exist in mass effect 3. And for everyones sake please read the offiical FAQ regarding the EC otherwise you make yourself look like a troll. Here i'll make it easy for you.

http://social.biowar.../index/11028404 

An official press release went out today announcing how we re-prioritizing the Mass Effect 3 post release content schedule to provide a more fleshed out experience for our fans. For many of you the "Extended Cut" will help answer some questions and give closure to this chapter of the Mass Effect story. Oh and it's at no cost to you - the fan.

Here is a mini FAQ to help you understand what the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut is and isn't:

What can fans expect from the Extended Cut DLC?
For fans who want more closure in Mass Effect 3, the DLC will offer extended scenes that provide additional context and deeper insight to the conclusion of Commander Shepard's journey.


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.


What is BioWare adding to the ending with the Extended Cut DLC?
BioWare will expanding on the ending to Mass Effect 3 by creating additional cinematics and epilogue scenes to the existing ending sequences. The goal of these new scenes is to provide additional clarity and closure to Mass Effect 3.


When will the Extended Cut DLC be available?
Currently the Extended Cut DLC is planned for this summer, no specific date has been announced at this point.


Why are you releasing the Extended Cut DLC?
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.


So there you have it. Are we proud of the game we made and the team that made it? Hell yes. Are we going to change the ending of the game? No. Do we appreciate the passion and listen to the feedback delivered to us by our fans? Very much so and we are responding.

Be good to each other and Summer is coming...

As the ending stands retaking Omega will be as pointless as the other 2.9 games. EC can fix that and thus will not make retake Omega pointless.

The apparent line between the two factions of fans seems to have become a 'wall' of sorts. I don't care about the Omega DLC, haven't really thought about it, nor particularily interested in what it might present in regards to content of the ME universe overall.

Although I do not "hate" the endings, I am greatly disappointed in them to the extent I no longer play any of the ME games. I am not sure how quickly I'll download the EC DLC when it is released either. What does it matter? Retaking Omega will be a side mission with probably some addtitional EMS, but in the overall artistic scheme will equate to nothing substantial in the final outcome as it stands, from what I have read anyway. I would rather see the EC DLC come out first.

Right now I am enjoying Witcher2, Two Worlds 2 and went with Lord of the Rings MMO instead of my planned excursion into SWOTR.

I'll not totally abandon Bioware, but I will be very wary of any future DLC or game releases bearing their's and EA's mark on the package.

All the best,
Ken

You know the extended ends just going to be star brat explaining more and some pointless new colour explosion. This has taken time away from planned dlc which was clearly going to be omega. I wanna go Funky dancing and pull me some asari


I hope you are right about extended starbrat.... And that my shepard gets a chance to work that verbal warfare magic.... Even if it doesn't change anything... It was just so depressing seeing shepard hang there looking so insecure and unable to speak up.. Just a few epic words before blowing up the reapers would have made things a lot better.

Maybe a few tweaks to the retake earth mission to make it seem more like the epic invasion it was said to be "D-day propaganda" style....

Maybe some allied krogan turians and others fighting reaper forces and when it's startign to look bad some geth orbital drops right on top of the enemy.... and if there arn't any geth around maybe some other people... like they handled thane and the salarian councilor.

And if the geth arn't around Kirahe gets a second chance to do something and die doing it... Or maybe that salarian spectre that you could recruit when your recruited the hanar forces and Kasumi. I really missed seeing my warassets in action during that mission. Some of it was hinted but it was far too vague and it certainly didn't include enough of your recruited warassets.

But the major thing was the end conversation with the Catalyst... It just didn't make sense Posted Image

I wouldn't mind a retake Omega DLC or Illium but then again I hope there is a good reason for Shepard to go there... Considering all that's at stake what you fidn on Omega or Illium would have to be pretty important. Not that shepard isn't flying around picking up biotic implants for assari C-sec officers and all kidns of stuff like that.
I didn't mind picking up stuff lost behind enemylines mind you... After all that's what the normandy is good for after all. It can't land a full scale invation force and it cant kill reaper dreadnaughts on it's own but it can save people and recover vital supplies weapons and other stuff that will help the overall war effort.. So it made sense.

As if a "Retake Omega" DLC would matter with the endings in their current state.

That's the way of things here. Plus you can look back on this whole thread and see other Retakers with the same attitude. But you guys would never gang up on a person with a differing viewpoint, right?
