Bioware's said they're done with the ending, therefore there will be no more ending.


I trust bioware's word about as much as I trust my penis with a cannibal.


Analogies and pattern recognition.  This guy's great at both.

Aren't you already reunited with your LI at some point over the game?

post ending in the high EMS destroy scenario I meant

Oh.  That would never happen, because even in high EMS destroy, Bioware thinks that Shepard is dead.  You're free to take whatever path you wish, but Bioware isn't going to support living Shepards.

and that is why, indeed, I am going to buy their next game used

of course they will try really hard to tell me that it is all up to interpretation ad I am free to choose my own ending in my mind but unless a canon statement about his survival is made I am not going to give them another ¢

oh and bioware never stated his fate one way or another

I think it's obvious what the majority wants, but no, it probably won't be.

I think its possible that it will be ending content. But I am not holding my breath. I like Mass Effect, so I'll buy it. What annoys me is people thinking its citadel DLC. It's not. People don't seem to get the idea that those files found are areas used in both Leviathan and Omega.

Nothing wrong with that (unless EA finds a way to either eliminate or monetize the used game market.  So long as you're not into multiplayer, you should be fine.).

Indeed.  But there's a story behind the 'breath scene' that isn't mine to tell.  The end result of it is that the writing and design departments are going to treat Shepard as having died at the end of ME3.

the official statement is that it is up to us, and that kind of BS means the next game is gonna be used buy for me (mp is an abomination) or I will just stick to bethesda, 343i and rocksteady

No, and it will be underwhelming and a bit tedious like the others, and probably charge too much for what is there.

Exactly. It's up to you, but they won't be giving you anything to support it.

I found MP to be quite fun, actually. It's a feature I really enjoyed, and I think abomination is overstating it. It's not as if an MP mode is totally out of order on a third-person shooter. Personally, I would never buy any game used, no matter how I felt about it or the studio. Pawn shops bother me.

well gamestop is not a pawnshop

anyways, the problem with MP is that it sucked resources from SP, I play only SP games and the thought resources were diverted for this irks me, worse now EA brags that ALL their projects need map to be green lit

I dunno. Fortunately they don't have Gamestops in Western Canada, or at least not here. Either way, giving criminals a way to monetize games that they steal doesn't appeal to me.

I don't really think that the resources thing really mattered. What is it that people complain about in ME3? Autodialogue, 'fetch quests', and of course the ending. The departments that worked on those don't really have much in the way of connection to the MP game. If you want to talk resources as in money, that won't fly either. The MP came from a different budget, cost very little and was seen as a moneymaker, not as a project in and of itself. The people making the game felt (rightly, in my opinion) that ME3 was, as pure combat, more fun than Gears of War 3. Horde mode was fairly successful, so why not try and leverage that?

You can say that there were some design mistakes in ME3, but I don't think that it's correct to pin it on multiplayer.

I wish it was ending related, as they are still in a woeful need of a fix. However, that being said... I doubt it will be. That would mean they would have to admit they were wrong, which is something they shall not do.

Pity, if they DID fix the endings so that it wasn't just a Deus Ex ripoff, I'd be willing to buy all the SP DLCs. As it is, not happening.

[***SPOILER ALERT***]I would want something that would add to the ending like the leviathan DLC did. One way they could do that is have an optional obtainable that could be gained by reaching the beam without getting blown to hell by harbinger's death beam (yes, I know that's impossible now but they could code it that way). we could do it if we had certain war assets like the geth prime platoon or the elcor warriors or all the war assets that we waste the game trying to get could by us time until at least shepard and his/her team make it to the beam.

I know most of you guys are thinking of mostly single player, but one thing I hope they have in multiplayer between next expansion or the last are customizable kits for multiplayer that allow us to play as nearly all playable races that are available (Geth wouldn't be biotics of any kind, volus wouldn't make good soldiers and I don't see krogan doing much infiltrating) or every playable species in every class.

Approximately 30% of people are going to be super pissed and rant on the forums for months after the dlc is released about how they expected this and that.

It's not going to happen. Ever. You aren't getting an ending DLC. I answered "no, but I want it to", because I do want it to. But I'm rational - it's not gonna happen. It amazes me that some people still think Bioware has this grand master plan like they are super-geniuses and there will be a big reveal...

The studio that made the mp was in charge of making many of the side quests in ME2. Instead of side quests in ME3, we got fetch quests and mp. I feel that at least that can safely be pinned on EA's microtransaction moneymaker.

EDIT: Wait..."criminals a way to monetize games that they steal"? Huh? I'm confused. What does Gamestop have to do with crime?

I've done some research into this majority phenomenon, and at least as far as the BSN is concerned, there have been roughly about 9000 new posts in the last week in the Mass Effect 3 story forum. This game sold over 4 million copies. So, I'd say BSN is the vast minority. Kind of debunks that whole "BSN is the majority of the fanbase" thing some have been saying. Or the vocal ones are the only ones who they listen to.


It doesn't debunk anything. The BSN is a fairly large sample size of players. I'd wager a lot of others share our dislike of the ending.


At the very least people on BSN are likely a very representative sample of players who will buy DLC.  The guy that bought Mass Effect 3 either because it was on sale or saw how high it got rated probably has no idea what DLC has already come out never mind what Bioware is getting ready to release and on top of that that they probably have little if any interest in buying said DLC.  People who make their way over to forums related to Mass Effect are the type of players that are prime candidates to purchase DLC and at this point with the majority of copies sold the focus is now on upselling players with DLC.  

The problem though, as has been since it was released, a lot of players are not satisfied with the ending and are stuck with a weird combination of hope that a better version of the endings will be released and a lack of motivation to buy further DLC if the status quo continues.   

To answer the thread though, my logical side dictates that they won't release anything that messes with the ending and that they'll hype up something thats ultimately a shoot em up side mission.  My emotinal side though thinks back to Mike Gamble's tweet and that Bioware has denied stuff before that came to fruition and that this will be the ending fans have been waiting for.  

Gun to my head had to guess.  It will be a non-ending related DLC.

The majority of fans aren't just going to get over it.  And if they keep ignoring them, their company is going to go in the ****ter and I'll be one of the people saying I told them so.  EAs falling stock prices are a result of their own hubrice and greed.

Uh huh. They said no new endings. They aren't changing the endings. They aren't adding to the endings.

However, who is to say we've seen what BioWare interprets as the endings? Perhaps ME3 is only half-done, and the ending they are talking about is yet to be seen? Until they say, "The only way to end the game is by picking Control, Synthesis, or Destroy", there's still hope.

And please, point me to the article/interview/tweet that says that, if I've missed it. Even if it's worded differently. I'm serious, I'd love to just know difinitively and be done with it. But as far as I've seen, they have not said anything close to this.

Then you've got this; "If you knew what was in store, your reaction would be different."  Also hopeful. Anywho...

As opposed to just having him be irrelevant? They need him to actually be canonically dead?

That must be some story.

If you mean that the studio that did the N7 missions for ME2 did the N7 missions for ME3, I don't see much difference.

 Sadly no. And it's Bioware's hubris and pride that's to blame. Which I find simultaneously hilarious and heart-wrenching, considering they really have nothing to be prideful over as of late. In my opinion at least.
