 Mark Meer may know something we don't regarding the original ME3 endings... IT? But to me it basically confirms that the endings were rushed. He says that he knew details that weren't layed out properly.

Wow! How amazing! Tell me, does Mark Meer also have any insight on whether or not the sky is blue?

I'm sorry, are we really still looking for confirmation that the ending was rushed and the writers involved in it had no idea what they were doing?  Are there REALLY people who need further convincing of that by this point?

Aha, ha, I don't think we needed Commander Shepard to tell us that.

It was pretty chuffing evident when I played the first time, all those months ago.

[MassEffecter132]

Ya still though. He says he'll probably be in ME4 doing the vorcha and hanar again as he did in the other games.

Mark Meer likes Control. Is he indoctrinated?

[MassEffecter132]

Atleast we know IT was not intended

Sounds like he likes the control ending.

I really like the tone and execution of the control ending(s) too, even though I don't trust the concept for various reasons.

Why wouldn't he?  He got to make some Reaper-god speeches.

It's obvious endings were rushed. Second fiscal quarter is the end of March, EA needed earnings.

And Control does seem like the least crappy these days, at least we got an epic speech out of it

[Robhuzz]

I think it was pretty obvious the ending was rushed. March is the end of the fiscal year and EA wanted to record a profit for a change. Hence the need for the EC, that in my opinion doesn't adress the biggest problems with the ending, and tries to fill plot holes and explain the catalyst with more plotholes and nonsense, but I digress.

It's nice Mark Meer sort of confirms it as it doesn't look like we can expect any honesty from the devs these days.

maybe a disgruntled writer will give us the full story one day. till then it's clear ME3 was rushed, but not to what extent.

Actually end of fiscal year in this case. EA shelled out a lot of $$$$ for SWTOR development and marketing in 2011. So they really wanted a hit to offset that. Otherwise the management was going to look bad.

Exactly right. They knew ME3 needed more time but pulled it onto March and released it regardless.

[Brovikk Rasputin]

That's not what he's saying at all.

He's simply saying that he didn't think the ending was as bad as many made it out to be, probably because he had some insider knowledge. The insider knowledge being what happens afterwards and stuff. The stuff that was spelled out for us in the EC.

Typical company management manouvers. Nothing new.

but still a damn shame. at least it wasn't as bad as the 'ending' of KOTOR 2. close, but not as bad.

The problem was even releasing Mass Effect 3 to give a good 4th quarter would not deter their low income. Basically the reports for the 2012 report at the end of the fiscal year then had EA earning revenue over all four quarters, but barely earning income; a 200% decrease in fact.

So yeah, they did spend more than they took in, but Mass Effect 3's release would do nothing to stem that tide, nor would it matter much if it made the 4th quarter look good. It's release would have little effect on the bottom line.

Actually he said  that he knew details that maybe weren't spelled out clearly enough.
He used the word spelled, which is what people do when other people can't understand ****.
And he didn't use the word "properly", but the expression "clearly enough", which is different, since the first is used for things that follow strict rules (you can do it properly or do it wrong), while the latter is used when it's a matter of personal criteria.
ME3 dvds burned my house and killed my dog=not working properly      I don't like the game=Personal criteria.
Now, you can keep on reading what you want.

1. OKay Meer obviously has a personality and talent, why couldn't he show that in his Shepard? His Shep was sooooo dry.

2. Okay someone's reaching too hard to justify their IT crap and ending hate I think. He didn't say anything near alluding to the endings rushed.

At least they released a mod to restore the KOTOR 2 content. With ME3 being nearly unmoddable the chances to see an actual new ending for ME3 are incredibly slim nonexistent.

Still, I thought the KOTOR 2 ending was far superior to ME3. KOTOR 2 simply didn't have a proper ending. ME3's ending was an abomination:whistle:

KOTOR 2 is the perfect example of a rushed game but the dev's were nice enough to leave in the game disc data of what they didnt get to make.
Now with the mod is perfect.
