I will probably watch the EC on youtube when someone posts it....

i have given up on SP ever since I finished it...its bad enough my saves were already messed up with the love interests not being loaded properly...unless I take my ME1 game thats in progress all the way through I wont do ME 1,2,3 ever again. Only if I am really bored and decided to get the insanity achievements needed to get all the achievements for the game will i play SP in ME again. (ME 1 i might need to play again because I still need like 4 achievements)

Doing an insanity playthrough now then i wont touch it, still need finish skyrim and doing DLCs for games that already completed

dude why? its free dlc your not paying a dime for it

at least download it that way you have a legit reason to give an opinion on it

watching it on youtube imo is pointless and dosent really give you the right to critisize since you didnt play it yourself

You can't play anything with the EC, you just get to watch additional slide shows or cinematics.  That's what BioWare, thus far, has indicated for the DLC.

So unless they've since said otherwise, their original press release said there will be no additional gameplay.

So what exactly are people going to "play" for themselves?

I haven't even started the game yet. I was originally waiting for the import bug to be fixed (the patch only partially addressed the problem), during which time the issue with the ending came up. By this point I said to myself "Self, I've waited this long already, may as well hold off until 'summer' for the *EC". I have other games I can play until then.

Edit: *Also hoping that the issues with the Lazarus Project get worked out by then.

It'll be their own Shep in the conversations rather than someone else's.

I've pretty much given up on the whole entire ME trilogy ( and gaming in general ) until the EC comes out, then I will give ME3 one more try. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself if I don't like the EC.

[Wolf]

Pretty much.

[RocketManSR2]

I trust BioWare enough with the EC to finish up my femShep in ME2 yesterday, ready for import. My NG+ for my sentinel Sheploo is on hold until I see what is in the EC.

[MonkeyLungs]

I've given up on Mass Effect I think. I sold my collector's edition of ME2 to Amazon for 7.50 and my copy of ME3 for like 15 just to remove them from my game collection. I sold DA2 a long time ago ... I don't like the new ****.

That isn't to say that I didn't like ME2 or even ME3 for that matter, it's just that the ending of ME3 killed the series for me.

That also isn't to say that I don't like Bioware games. I still have DA:O and ME1. I just don't think the sequels are even nearly as good as the original titles. ME1 and DA:O are classics and deserve a spot in my permanent collection. I wish I wouold have rented ME3.

In a totally bizarro admission I find the multiplayer of ME3 to be it's most redeeming quality. I didn't even think I would ever play the multiplayer either so that was a stunning realization for me.

But the point is, you still don't get to play anything.  Selecting a dialogue choice during a cinematic conversation between Shepard and the GlowingChild isn't the same as actually being able to take control of the character again and playing through further levels of combat.

Not to mention, I'm sure there will be Youtube clips of every single option of dialogue available and its outcome.  Unless you believe BioWare will actually make the dialogue options so variable that the ending people get truly will be dependent on their decisions throughout the series, rather than just expanding on what picking Synthesis, Control, or Destroy results in.

[Nefla]

I have (and I never played multiplayer) and I finally got TW2 to take my mind off it

[prsquared]

I think I'll just watch the EC on youtube.

I am a slow player too and i love to have every single side mission, possible war asset collected. besides, dont know about others, but after every side mission (n7 one, not eavesdrop cause those are not really sidemissions) i tend to run around ship because every npc - squadmate has something new to say each time.  
and ofcourse after almost every priority mission i do the ship routine and go back to citadel to hear some new npc-s chatter and see if there are some new eavesdrops to hear. 

it took me about 55 hours both time i played to finish it. 

in comparison, it took me maybe 70 hours to finish me 2 with all dlc-s and 60-65 for me 1. 

Sounds like you play like me, and my playtimes would be the same as yours. That's reassuring then. Not too short, I wasn't sure if people were just burning through the game or it was genuinely a lot shorter.

I learnt my lesson anyway, I'll be mad busy with internships when the EC comes out, so I'm staying off these forums after release.

Yup, I have given up on SP and it's been so long since I played MP that my readiness is likely back down to 50%. I played it with my femgineer on SP but I have no interest in playing with my other Sheps of the other classes until I see what EC does.

Let me put it to you this way, I loved the other two games. I played ME1 about 15-18 times and ME2 at least a dozen and it was a title I had planned to come back to for nostalgic value like I do the Fallout games from time to time but I traded in my ME1 and 2 the other day. I have no interest playing them again knowing where it leads to which is pretty strong given my lack of faith that EC really fixes much but I hope I'm wrong. I took no pleasure in selling those games. It made me kind of sad really given the absolute joy that playing them was and indeed ME3 is... until the last 10 minutes. I'm still blown away at how epically bad and nonsensical the ending is for ME3 that it inspired me to sell 2 of my all time favorites that I had intended to play again for old times sake. It's still shocking and disheartening to be honest. Yeah, "It's just a game" but I, like so many fans, invested a lot of themselves into it. It meant something... now it doesn't. Pity. It had such potential.

I don't use an online connection with my Xbox, which means no extended cut DLC for me, so... I'm not going to stop playing to wait for something I can't have, obviously. I'll stop my own Shepards' playthroughs before the end and watch the EC on youtube when it comes out.

 I have not played SP since the first week of launch because of the terrible ending and playing a come were ur choices dont matter when that used to be a major part just seems pointless. I have only played MP since then and am starting to get bored of it. Why did Bioware have to mess up the ending so bad. Whyd the promise closure and 16 different endings when theres only like 1 ending but three diferent colors.

Yup.  No touching SP til EC comes out.

EC is in fact the only reason I haven't uninstalled the game.

This.

[Navasha]

I played 3 of my playthroughs and will put the other 3-4 playthroughs on hold until the EC. Diablo is keeping me occupied quite thoroughly until then.

[Blastback]

I'm not bothering with Mass Effect at all right now. The endings killed my enthusiasm enough that I'm having a hard time motivating myself to play the previous games even. It just feels pointless.
