Again, incorrect. The leak came from that user long before the Sony Asia site. The initial thread about the leak here already over 70 pages of discussion before the Sony Asia listing was posted.

If you're going to use the correct information then you would know that it was Sony Hong Kong not Sony Asia and the 1st amount of Rebellion information was from that Sony Hong Kong leak.


Dude, I was following the entire leak as it was happening. You are wrong.

If Bioware is taking time to make EC you should be appreciative of the fact they are putting proper efforts on free product and you should be more patient, too.

No.  I think they should have got it right in the first place, seeing as the game and it's predecessors cost a significant amount of my time and money.  I would have probably just shrugged my shoulders and agreed to disagree if it had been just me.  But 1,000s of people seem to agree.  I am especially upset a) because the ending is one of the three worst endings I have ever seen in a video game but especially because B) much of what was 'promised' for the game simply doesn't exist, either at all or in a manner as previously described.

Unless the EC DLC is extraordinarily good, then their best is no longer good enough for me.  They had my support, almost unquestioningly.  The ending for ME3 lost it.  I suspect I will be buying video games from other developers in future.

The people being excessive would be the ones would sent death threats and personal insults to Bioware about the ending.  Bioware isn't doing the EC based on principal especially when its their decision based on how they did create the whole ME Universe.  Most of the fans did enjoy the ending and you can tell that by how many people that aren't complaining.  You should try to be a game designer or a computer animator because you'll find out how difficult their jobs are.


That is a horribly baseless assumption. You have no idea how many people like/disliked the game. Just because the majority of people say nothing, it does not mean they like it. For all you know the majority may have thought 'wow that was crap' then moved on, without storming the internet to say what they thought. Essentially my point is that a voiceless mass gives no nothing, no data or facts to make the sort of comment I've bolded.

 If thats the case then you must have a small collection of games based on how nothing is perfect and I highly doubt that actually 1,000 of people wihout being in a bandwagon would feel the same.  Btw we did get what was promised to us, but you missed the most important thing and that is Bioware decides waht will have to ME not us.

There will always be people looking at the negatives and most of the "fans" won't like the EC based on what they thought of the ending.  Btw you shouldn't say that you won't be buying Bioware games based on your attittude and how nothing is perfect.

Of course its baseless, you don't know every individuals opinion about the game do you?

There is no official poll of everyone who bought the game saying X amount enjoyed it is there?

Sales do not equal enjoyment, plenty of people have bought a game and then disliked it. the same goes for ME3, people will continue to buy it and some will not like it.

By the way, saying the majority liked it because of what you've seen on youtube and forums is ridiculous, yes, because youtube and forums are a good place to gain an accurate measure of how many people liked the game. 

If you are going to say X amount of people liked the game, make sure you have accurate numbers and facts, not observations from youtube and 'various forums'

Since Bioware stuck to their ending and they will only expand on it few people have their hopes up on it doing anything awesome. That makes it hard to understand what is taking them so long to make.
Its not an easy job to create new content especially when we're talking about computer animation.

It is not easy I know, but they've taken now close to 3 months and they (aparently) aren't working on gameplay, engine, MP since those are done; they are working solely on game content. Compare what you got with the whole game like 20 missions or more in 18 months work. Just cutscenes and dialogue??? Either they are slacking, surprising us with new gameplay, or devoting  much of their resources to something else like DLC or another game like DA3 or whatever they plan next. But 2 months on cutscenes ... hard to believe, what's it gonna be "Gone with the wind" space opera ending version :P

At any rate I think Bioware's efforts on EC seam excesive, I understand them sticking to their ending on principle and not seting up the precedent of a meaningfull change, but even them by now understand the ending actually sucked on a technical writing style basis, very little to argue in its favour other than "I liked it" which a few people do. Given that, EC will at most appease a good chunk of those of us who were highly disapointed by the ending but they are not going to make us happy. So why does apparently involve so much work?? I just don't understand it.

Most of the fans did enjoy the ending and you can tell that by how many people that aren't complaining.  You should try to be a game designer or a computer animator because you'll find out how difficult their jobs are.


Look at this thread, just this one, tell me who is the vocal minority HERE... :P

And as someone else pointed out, speaking for those who chose or don't bother to speak is unpolite to say the least. The polls on this site show 92% of those who voted didn't like the ending, sure those aren't "scientific" statistics and have an error, but don't go expecting the error will magically bring those figures to 92% loved the ending, that is just not realistic and plain daydreaming. Even Bioware though never publicly, has admited that the ending wasn't good in announcing EC.

you make no sense what so ever, no one, not even bioware can say how many people liked the game dude. when you talk about that stuff you need hard statistics to back it up right? otherwise you can't just claim something like that. If you know for sure the majority liked the game where are the numbers to back up that claim? where is the evidence?

Why do you think DA2 and ME3 felt so incomplete?

If Bioware is taking time to make EC you should be appreciative of the fact they are putting proper efforts on free product and you should be more patient, too.

It's the law that investment and results are in direct proportion. The longer it takes, more complete it is going to be. Why you are even trying to put pressure on Bioware is beyond me. You wanted a better ending, and it will only get better if you exercise some sensible patience on the matter.


It remains to be seen whether they are taking the time to do the "Extended Cut" right or not. For all intents and purposes they could be rushing it again. I do not believe player wishes factor that much in the timeline of things. Whatever the head honchos think is best what will happen for better or worse. And well we've already seen many of their fabulous ideas.


It doesn't really matter now when it's released. For many people the Extended Cut is already too late. Lots of people have sold their copies or tucked their copy away on the bottom shelf for good. If the Extended Cut had been ready to release in April then the majority of the player base may have been able to partake in it. But now that it likely won't be released until late July or August... that's just way too long to leave people hanging. Most people have moved on. Sure diehards like myself will wait, but other folks? Nah. At best maybe 500K will download the Extended Cut. I doubt more then 300K are still actively playing multiplayer and then maybe another 200K diehard singleplayer folks are waiting for the EC. It's a travesty regardless as some folks will no doubt never experience the proper ending now.

Which brings up the next issue. While I know many people decided to take Bioware's Announcement completely literal in that it's just an epilogue with narrated scenes... something like that would not take 3+ months of development. It's going to be a 1-2 hour playable game DLC just like every other Singleplayer DLC Bioware has made for the Mass Effect games. Only this DLC includes the "real" ending. Which is the issue Bioware is trying to avoid. See even if the Extended Cut is absolutely amazing; once people realize the Extended Cut includes the actual ending there's going to be a lot of flak thrown at Bioware. For starters anyone who actually buys into the Blue/Green Pills stuff probably isn't going to be pleased they choose poorly. Then you're also going to have others simply mad that the game wasn't released with the ending. And this time more then just disgruntled fans will chime in. Likely some Review Sites will be grilling Bioware for this as well. Though some of them I think may have been tipped off by Bioware hence the currently exaggerated scores.


No matter what Bioware does with the Extended Cut they lose. It was a real stupid idea to do anything like this. And I can only hope Bioware/EA learns from this and never does it again. Otherwise I don't imagine many people will continue to buy their games.

The easiest thing is to insult people and the next easiest thing is to be ignorant, which is what you're currently doing.  It seems like you aren't willing to hear the facts just like how games aren't designed around a select group of people and everyone has their own tastes.  Btw I would to see you run a video game company to find out how hard it is to develope a game with the hours of coding and animating involved.

Yeah... I for one would rather they took their time and got all the voice talent they need to do it right, instead of cutting characters from the epilogue via suicides or whatever just to meet an artificial deadline.

1) please quote where i have insulted you.
2) you did not answer my question, you accused me of using ad hominems.
3) you misunderstand... Yes you could argue that the silent majority like the game, me saying they don't is an example of how i can simply assume the majoriy dislike the game based on the fact that they are silent, it was just an example. I dont know how the majority feels and neither do you or anyone else for that matter.

4) I will keep this as simple as possible... without statistics, numbers, evidence. No one can claim to know how the majority felt about the game. To claim such a thing without statistics, numbers and evidence is pure conjecture and opinion. it is in no way fact
