Is EC satisfying enough to forgive?

No changes, no apologies and NO CONCLUSION for a trilogy = nothing to forgive, and the whole ME3 drama is quite forgettable.

But I have to admit, seeing Tali hesitate to place Shepards name on the War Hero list made my eyes water.
Went from bad to average. Which just sounds like a ME4 setup to me...

I never intended to play again because of the extended cut's release, but did take the time to watch the updated endings online. Having already progressed through my ME3 stages of grief a long time ago, I was actually pretty indifferent- so chalk that up as satisfaction for me. Honestly the changes to the EMS nonsense has me thinking about a second play through way more than the extended cut does.
I can say with certainty though that I will be wary of future BioWare projects from the key members of the Mass Effect 3 team.

I agree with you, but every fiber of my being hopes that it doesn't happen.

had not the backlash been we d still be left with these endings made from pure horse CRAP.
Also do not forget:
they LIED again. they changed the endings!!!!!!
but they did not change them again in our suggestions, (suggestions that were ultimately better than their vision, unable to complete the story after Drew left) but they DID keep their artistic vision.
So i am happy as i MAY replay ME again but NEVER again i am going to preorder , i ll PROPABL:Y buy used.
Bioware was the only one company i bought their games on day 1 , did not wait at all for a price drop, wanted to give them my money, i actually convinced other people to play ME, but not anymore.
i am not harsh at all.
Thney changed the endings, again, they lied again , they changed them to their needs.

Truth is many people were going to hate the ending because it couldn't give the exact things we wanted.
That being said, I still think we're looking at a ME 4 with the *potential* of Shepard playing a part depending on the ending. I could be wrong, but I'm okay either way, though I'd love more

Satisfy a small minority of fans, that no matter what you do, they won't be satisfied? You can't reason with them.
I know people seem to think the majority didn't like the way things ended iniitally back in March, but the truth is that not everyone was vocal about the ending. Some people didn't even come out and say how they felt, so we will never know.
Fortunately, for some who didn't like it initially, some of their opinions have changed now.
As for the EA stock drop coinciding with the ending debate? Unless the fans bought EA stock, it's pure nonsense.
Cause BPs share price went through the roof after the oil spill. Bad press does affect stocks but yes it wasn't the only thing.
That's the point though most vocal people were against it. I can't remember the exact numbers but only 50% of people actually completed ME2. They were likely the people who put the time in to complete the game and having alot of them against it is bad for business.

Said longer, from now on - in gaming terms- the names Bioware, Casey Hudson, et al. will, for me, forever be synonymous with "Personal Judas."

Pre-order another BW title without double checking it first? After all the drama, EC isn't going to make me do that.
Refusing a BW product even after hearing it's really well done? Well why should I do that anyways.
So in a sense forgiveness doesn't matter that much.
What EC matters is that EC did not fix the ME universe for me to see it as worthy to expand, so probably I won't care for future ME3 DLCs or future ME games.

They even had the heart to change the ending message from "BUY MORE DLC NOW!!!" to an appreciative thank you for supporting us message.
Buzz Aldrin and the kid are still there, Starbinger is still there, and there are some things that still don't make sense but I'm glad to say that Mass Effect ended on a less then perfect note (unlike 3 months ago's wtf just happened)

They failed to fix the actual problem the ending had, as such the EC is average at best. My only hope for satisfying stories in RPG's is looking to other companies. Bioware has lost the charm I found in them when I first played DA:O. Hope the people that did enjoy the endings have fun with future titles and their love for the universe is rekindled. All I got out of it was disappointment and a slap to the face basically saying that the company is essentially indifferent to me as a consumer.

I know there are still some people who yell that they hate the ending, but I think they were expecting the ending where Shepard rides off into the sunset with his/her chosen love interest. I don't hate that idea, but isn't it kind of implied if your EMS was high enough that Shepard survived? You know, after most likely years of rehabbing from the numerous injuries he suffered and maybe getting a new set of bones (as the ones in his body are most likely now a series of splinters that vaguely resemble bones if you were to reassemble them) or a wheelchair. Seriously, look me in the post and tell me he wasn't most likely crippled from that impact.

lol, no. People want ending to have narrative coherence, you know? They want good writing, not Deus Ex Machina. They do not want last minute choice to override the previous 70 hours of gameplay. They want Mass Effect to be Mass Effect, not cheap Matrix parody. They want to be respected by company they give money for product. And yes, they want to have multiple endings which include Shepard riding into the sunset. Just as the option for him to die or to be crippled. That is what people want.
