Although i believe they would have saved themselves a world of pain by having this as the original ending, i still really appreciate the effort they put into this patch.
The ending was good this way with enough variables.
The extended dialogue in the end, worked for me as well, although i still wonder why the reaper god took the shape of the kid.
Well done, Bioware!

Extended Cut finally put the Mass Effect trilogy where it was destined to be: among the must play games and must see sci-fi-s of all time. Bioware, I very much appreciate the work you did with this DLC, thank you and well done!

Not bad. Not bad at all!
I was actually very pleased by the ending. Especially the Control ending, which I thought was not only the coolest thing I had seen in a long time, but the coolest sounding ending. Whoever did the music/audio for that scene gets a pat on the back. The writing was sound. While it doesn't explain everything, the endings do explain enough to close off Shepard's story and leave ro to move onto the next (Garrus game next please).
I was very critical of how BioWare wrote the ending. If I had to grade the previous endings, I would have skipped "F", and given it a Skull and Crossbones instead. The Extended Cut? A solid C+. Some things still don't make sense, but overall I was very pleased. So, good job!

Yes!! I enjoyed it... and this is coming from someone who really hated the original endings... Well done guys. Thanks for the ride. If couldvre changed anything it wouldve been for the entire crew (ME1, 2 & 3) to be standing in front of the memorial.

They backed it up when they said they're listening to the fans. They've said they're listening on DA3 as well. So, DA3...pre-order canc...er placed.

You need a break from the forums son.
Go do something that makes you happy, your negativity won't bring any enhancements to your life.

thanks for the hard work in correcting the problems with the original ending.
The
problems are still there. I do not understand how everyone's so willing
to accept the plotholes now. I think it was a good addition to the
previous endings, don't get me wrong, but it still doesn't make anything
sound right.
Because everyone wanted something different from the game? It's that simple and that complicated.
I personally wonder why no one questioned any of the previous plot holes in the series, but I remember the above and move on.
Personally I'd hate to be writing for a game as you're really writing a dozen or so stories.
What
exactly do you mean with 'something different'? I am not complaining
about the lack of happy endings or that I don't like the way they tried
to put it to an end, here. I am complaining about the lack of sense
behind Starchild's solution. Bioware could have done better, if they
changed their perspective about that so-called 'artistic integrity'.

So you are saying that I cant voice my opinion on the EC unless I think Bioware did a "great" job and "son" hmm that seems rather condescending considering you dont even know my age. Attack my opinions all you want don't try personal attacks however because in itself that breeds negativity

No... he's saying that this forum is a swamp of negativity. You can practically smell it when coming here. When I'm here for a long period of time, I end up being a negative nancy and start to bash anything that comes my way. I can find complaints in almost everything... this is how much the bloody forum influences you.
Keep on hating the ending, keep on hating ME3, but the more you look onto something with hate, the less you'll appreciate what is good.

He says he's a construct. By the way he deduces things (and especially what he tells you about his creators), you, the player, are expected to make the decision that his programming is bugged. They made the Catalyst for something specific, and they lost control.

This is a thread for voicing positive thoughts, there are threads for voicing negative thoughts elsewhere. You'd get further by replying to those instead of this one.

Because we want something different we'll all see different problems and/or accept things others won't. As I said, it's that simple and that complicated. As for artistic integrity, as a writer/filmmaker I may see that a little differently then you do so that's not something I'll debate too much

Great job!
The only downside was the lack of "I love you" line for certain LIs. If this line would've been in the game, I'd have said "Perfect job!"

Wow you really been drinking the Bioware/EA coolaid haven't you. Before the EC I don't remember anyone saying of we just need more of a bad ending. that was just something PR made up to cover the stink
I will not be buying another game from them.
Why not just be more discerning before choosing to purchase a game from them? I mean, if they happen to make a game in the future that would be your favorite of all time, by not purchasing it aren't you really only hurting yourself? I guarantee you EA will not feel the sting of the lack of your 60 bucks. Just do some research, read some reviews, maybe rent it first and then if it lives up to your standards you can feel good about buying it.
I didn't feel lied to or mistreated, just entertained with what I felt was the best video game trilogy of all time, so to each his own.
Then....
Fly! You fool!
Seriously. You hate BioWare and EA, and thus, you're just being destructive by being here. Those who liked/loved the EC are happy and content. Why do you and your ilk hang around here? To preach your woes in hopes to turn the BSN into a **** smelling hate bag again?

okay on a positive note then...Even though I am still disappointed in the ending of the trilogy I would have to say that overall you did an outstanding job over the course of the first two games and I would say a good job with about 95 percent of the third game

I think many fans have stayed silent throughout the whole debacle, myself being one. I was too gutted, to have anything worthy to contribute. In a game so character driven, it was upsetting to not feel a genuine sense of closure after three games and many, many hours game play. The EC goes a long way to rectifying this for me.
So, for my first post I'd just like to say this:
Thank you, Bioware, for making the attempt to put things right and thank you fellow gamers for making your voices heard when I couldn't find my own.

Great post OP!
Would also like to say - to BioWare:
As one who was a bit vocal about my dissatisfaction with the original endings I wanted to say Thank you. Thank you for the extended cut, added dialogue and the epilogue scenes. I now feel a proper sense of closure for one of the most amazing game trilogies I have ever played.
I'm a happy fangirl once again.

Agreed, OP. The reworked endings aren't perfect, but at least they are palatable. At least they are no longer palette-shifted copies of the same thing... As conclusions to the ME franchise, the endings are still disappointing, but at least they aren't damning anymore. I'm not 100% happy, but I can at least live with things the way they are now. Thanks, BW.

I can't wait to play it now. I haven't played ME3 since I reached the ending because I thought it was a stupid ending and didn't want to go thru it again. Now I want to see what they did.

I just finished to go through the EC with the four saves I had. These saves had very different ME1/2/3 playthroughs.
The only thing I can say, well done Bioware! These new endings are not perfect, there are still some plotholes and unanswered questions, but does not matter. Why, because instead of the original ones which gave me rage this new versions gave me closure. Good, emotional closure, so my journies with Shepards I played countless hours during the recent years are in full circle now.
Well done, Bioware.
Now please make an awesome action/rpg in the Mass Effect universe and everything will be forgiven
WELL DONE BIOWARE!!!
Some ME3 SP DLC and an awesome action/rpg in the Mass Effect universe and everything will be forgiven:D

I liked the old endings, and I can tell you they're so much more satisfying to play now.
