I just hope this won't disappoint as well

And this is why I'm waiting for reviews.

Yeah man, wait for reviews.  Wouldn't want to waste any money on that free DLC when you can be an internet hipster and act like you're too good for free content.

I don't presume to speak for the original poster, but you clearly don't get it. This isn't some hipster BS where we think we're "too good" for free content. If someone told me I could have a free pile of horse ****, I wouldn't want that either, and there's no reason to think I'm getting anything better from this DLC. A lot of us were disappointed with this game, and the interview, for me, does nothing to assuage that feeling. The ending is unchanged and the huge download, going by what we learn in the interview, is just there to "show" us what got us to the pile of crap that is the ending. Sorry, but wasting another hour of my life to sit and watch a constipated horse grunting and straining just so I can see how the huge piles of turd got into the box isn't appealing to me, especially when I was being told I was buying a nice chocolate torte. A box of crap is still a box of crap - doesn't make a damned bit of difference what you ate to create it or how much you had to strain to get it out. 

So yeah, waiting for the reviews - and spoilers - sounds like the only plan for me. If it turns out that the EC does improve the game, I'll download it and play it. Perhaps it will make this game enjoyable for me, and make me actually want to touch a game that says ME on it, but I highly doubt it considering the ending hasn't changed. I'm not one of these pollyanna types who appreciates the journey when the destination is a roach-infested room full of fecal matter and smells like ******, nor am I the type to appreciate the "artistic" value of said room. So while people here are checking out the EC DLC, I'll be playing the Skyrim DLC, since I know it will actually be enjoyable. Maybe within a few days of the release, someone here will post something that makes me want to touch ME3 again.  I certainly hope so. It'd be nice to feel like BioWare didn't swindle me out of $60 and hundreds of hours of my life with their lies and narcissistic "we're so awesome and you just don't appreciate art!" garbage. 

Wow, this person is as bitter and as jaded as I am. 

[iAFKinMassEffect3]

I still don't see how 1.9 gigs = 10 minutes of cutscenes.
It's almost not worth it, I guess I will find out if I will want it on other playthrough later.

[Total Biscuit]

Well, not long now.

I'm really not expecting to like this anymore than the current ending, given everything in this announcement.

I'm expecting it to just be more of the awful and incredibly stupid ending, just nicely garnished with a bit of personalised minor side detailing, then a brief summary of who ended up doing what once they've trashed the universe and killed/stranded every character I actually cared about.

At least by this time next week I'll be able to just trade the series in and move on anyway, should the worst and most likely scenario come to pass.

Catalyst! Right Ahead!

This right here is why we're probably not going to see eye to eye.  The Catalyst doesn't give you the choices, he describes to you the possible functions of a weapon who's conception and construction he had no known involvement in.

There are four options. Destroy, Control, Synthesis and walk away. If you walk away you get a mission failure. Basically you run out of time and the Reapers win. Those are your only options. No matter what you do. What you're saying is that even if Shepard points out the logic flaw, these are the only options he has. And you wonder why people have an issue with that.

The Catalyst controls the reapers. It could theoretically send them back to dark space if you are allowed to convince it that the cycle has been broken. Even if some Reapers resisted the command, you could have a final Normandy vs Harbinger showdown which would be cool. If you fail to convince Catalyst, you could refuse to choose and Catalyst would determine that the only option is to continue the harvest. At that point your fleet fights and probably loses.

There are ways to do this without losing the original endings that make infinitely more sense. Even if Catalyst doesn't control the Crucible, it controls the Reapers. That puts all options on the table but only if you're allowed to pursue them, which this game doesn't. Why? That's the million dollar question. It could be bad writing, it could be poor planning, it could be a desire to start anticipation for ME4. Either way it's a bad decision and to not address that in the EC, the one issue that caused the most heat for Bioware because it was clear that they had gotten it wrong on a logic level, they ignore.

Um, what?

And ten minutes of additional, VARYING (Depending on choices etc.) cutscenes, epilogues & what not isn't tiny either. Some games boast "45 minutes HD cutscenes!"......... 

Why Tuesday, Bioware? I have the whole weekend off but Tuesday is long shift day!

Lets see... that journey sure was a goldmine. Countless movies, games etc. Popular as hell.

Oh...you are comparing the trauma Titanic survivors went through (Never mind those who died) with you not getting the ending you wanted to your Shep's journey in a game. Yeah. that's the same.<_<

Why is the same announcement thread in three different forums?

Way to fragment the discussion, folks. :-(

2 gigs sounds suspiciously large for such a short development time especially if it's only cut scenes and voicover and epilogue shots.

They said about 5 minutes of epilogue with lots of variability depending on your choices. 

If its well done, it could really please a lot of people, if they properly wrap up some of the threads. It won't make those who wanted a re-write of the ending but since most people actually loved the ending of ME1 and ME2 despite the cliches and plotholes, I think its more the emotional closure most people want.

We shall see.

It's 10 minutes (Roughly) PER PLAYTHROUGH, not 10 minutes ALL IN ALL.

I guess I'll be forced to say something after all.. Sigh. Did you not see his analogy, the TITANIC. E'hem, sit down, if you would. Sure, you had fun on the titanic, you had dinner and a show, BUT THEN EVERYONE YOU LOVED DIED. And when ever you remember, "Diner and a show" You also remember "EVERYONE YOU LOVED DYING" That, my not so friend, has spoiled anything you would have "Gained" from the journey. I have real life experience in this matter. Although my time in the military was fun, when ever I remember that, I have to remember my friend dying slowly in my amrs being able to do nothing yet being a medic. That spoiled the journey.

It isn't looking like a conversation with Harbinger is very likely either
