Is EC satisfying enough to forgive?

I especially appreciated that they removed the "Buy moar DLC" dialogue. That part had me in stitches.
So I say forgive, but never forget. This may happen again.

Let's not even go into the stupidity of having a magic wave of color somehow make everyone in the universe some synthetic organic hybrid. If you ignore all sense, reason and physics, it sounds great, but for those of us who require more to suspend disbelief it fails hard.
Already deleted ME and Origin, and I can't say I'll ever reinstall after seeing the videos. I'm sure the emotional note will be enough for some. I just wish it was enough for me. Unfortunately Bioware has decided to craft works that are not in line with my expectations in writing, so I will no longer be supporting them.

Where's Gamestop? I need a Gamestop where they accept the 3 ME games.
I wonder what is the trade in value of ME3? 10$? Less?

Also, replacing that distasteful DLC message at the end with a heartfelt thanks was definitely a good move on their part...
All and all, excited for any future single player DLC released in the future. Bioware has regained my faith.

Basically the three endings are unchanged save for a few quickly rendered cutscenes and animations to semi-close the blatant & nonsensical plot points. The only "new" ending is basically Shepard standing back and giving up in a "passive-aggresive" resistance.
Don't care anymore. Goodbye, BioWare.

In any case: the EC was decent enough. I still have issues with the game, but it made me willing to replay the game. That is what I asked from EC, and that is all it had to accomplish. So, kudos to Bioware for that.
Does it mean I will blindly buy the next Bioware game on pre-order? No. That, I will not. But, I might buy it, if it is good enough. I will no longer refuse to buy any game from Bioware or EA on principle.
So, there you have it.

So as long as they put out quality games again, I'll buy them. Just not at release. I'm not going to be someone who is like "You screwed up Mass Effect, so in retribution, I shall never buy any games from you ever again, no matter how awesome they might be! Mwahaha! That'll teach you!"
But the trust is gone, and the EC did not fix that.

They are even good endings by a normal, forgettable game, standards. But not under ME quality standards.
I think IT had more potential but oh well.

For the record, games are never traded back in for over a third of their retail price. Which would have left you at about 25, anyhow, immedeately post-release. A Triple-A game like ME3 tends to saturate the market quickly, which leads to a lot of people buying the game, and selling it again. So, 10 dollar is quite normal for a game in this stage. (Especially considering the extra bots of CE are near-worthless post-release, and only worth soemthing to a colector...who would have bought the game in retail, not second-hand)

No. I am still going to treat Bioware like any other gaming company. Prior to this, I pre-ordered most of their games. Now, they will have to come out first and I will wait for reviews from people/companies that I trust before buying their product, like any other game. It's what I *should have done* with ME3. Although, let's be honest, there was no way anyone who played ME1 and ME2 wasn't going to buy ME3, no matter what the reviews said.

I'm probably here. I certainly wont be buying anymore ME games without some reviews first. I think what chaps my hide is Bioware's attitude about the ending and the whole artistic integrity nonsense. If they had said...The fans obviously hate our ending and we will do what we can to fix it," then I could have accepted this EC. But it seems to me that they did this kicking and screaming.

Synthesis reminds me of one of the endings to War Wind.
Control is definitely the most chilling ending.
