My ideal would be a slight alteration to the form and voice of the Catalyst and the removal of Synthesis. A wee bit more expostion, and a tweak to Shepard's previous attitude towards Control would've gone a long way to improving the ending. Throw in some squadmate opinions, give Shepard the option to more remorsefully make his choice (after all, you are irrevocably and unknowingly changing the galaxy forever) and I'd be very satisfied. As it stands, though, I can work my way around that...IN MY MIND.

. My ideal would be a removal of the Catalyst.  Change the final talk between TIM and Anderson.  Cut out the "lolzindoctrinated" and make the choice between Control that has been perfected by Cerberus, no need for a Sacrfice, or Destroy. You them have to talk down/kill whoever you sided against.

Firstly, those who thought BioWare would drastically change the ending after the EC are the truly deluded ones. It's just people genuinely not understanding the apparent purpose of the EC and the intent of BioWare. To think they'd scrap extended ending after all of the time and profitless work that went into it is absurd. But enough of that.

An attempt to "balance out" positive opinions with your negative opinions (and obviously biased ones, since your goal is for them to be negative) is petty and immature. Had you actually played the DLC with even marginally realistic expectations and then offered thoughtful, polite, and well thought-out criticism, then it'd be perfectly fine to have and voice negative opinions.

As it stands, you come off as yet another bitter sod incapable of moving on from/accepting the canon endings.

I've enjoyed all the responses to this thread... minus this one.  I was critical of this DLC and all of them to be frank because they were cash grabs IMO.  While I understand many were happy with the lastest/last DLC I wanted to see how many took it as the last straw/slap in the face by EAware.  Whether you like the tone/quality/PCness of my post is irrelevant... time to come down off your high horse pal.

That would of course require paying for it.

You have bad taste, OP.

I kinda agree with OP. Did not buy a single DLC, did not even bother playing the EC.

I enjoy my games, its not often that I bother to replay a game that I completed. But I did replay Mass Effect 1 and 2, but no amount of DLC will make me reply Mass Effect 3. Its just not worth it, knowing how it all ends regardless of what I do.

Citadel dlc is so good because it fills something the main game lacked. It has also many sins of ME3 like overused autodialogues. But thumbs up for trying getting better.

Unfortunately positives of citadel highlight ME3 flaws; it shows how important is a personal relation player-character. Many missions based mainly on shooting things could be ereased to give place more talky-intrigue ones like in this extension.

One dlc won't repair that; especially when it adds only a small content, not influencing the core.

Can you just leave? Nobody cares that you didn't buy the dlc. Nobody cares that you are mad about citadel dlc. Stop spreading negativity and just go

Rofl.  You're allowed to be critical, I care that he's mad and Bioware cares (lol) as well, they wouldn't be able to become better developers if everything spit out was positive, you need to make mistakes to become better at what you love doing.  

Constructive criticism can make a developer better, mindless hate Threads, glossed over with a irrelevant question, do not.

I'm just really focused on my airbending right now is all.

In what way is the ME3 DLC a "cash-grab" when compared to other DLC? You continue to claim the DLC is a cash-grab and state that as your reason for not purchasing it, yet you never define how it's a cash-grab.

Well, Arrival would have made more (in this case, some) sense, had Shepard not chosen to hang out in the jail for months doing absolutely nothing with the time he sacrificed those Batarians for.

You want to know why? Because Amon is hiding in the shadows like a coward. Amon, I challenge you to a duel, no task force, no chi blockers, just the two of us tonight at midnight on Avatar Aang Memorial Island. Let's cut to the chase and settle this thing, if you're man enough to face me.

I didn't buy the DLCs.

I refused Javik because it was day one DLC (dubious enough), a setting-integral character that should have been in the game from the start, and because by that point I was starting to have my doubts about ME3 (the marketing in the final fortnight really set me worrying about poor SP in favour of more MP).

I refused to even download the EC because it didn't change anything, just 'expanded' the crap already there.

Still angry over the endings, I refused Leviathan until I'd watched it on YT. Seeing as it only promoted the endings, I passed it over.

I refused to buy Omega until I was able to evaluate it in its entirety on YT, and decided it wasn't worth the high price tag. Had the core game been an enjoyable experience for me, I would have got it.

Citadel... once again it doesn't fix anything, and rather makes the problems feel more glaring. Its like being stuck on a sinking ship, but the lifeboat nearby and just out of reach decides to put up some Xmas decorations. It makes the place you want to be look all the more inviting, but you're still stuck on a sinking ship, or storyline.

I've been an avid Bioware supporter for a while. I sunk well over a couple of thousand dollars into merchandise (all Mass Effect related), and I'm sure I've lost entire months playing their games. I even still subscribe to TOR because I enjoy the stories. But I just can't get the taste of those endings out of my mouth. I find it hard to even play ME1 and 2 now.

It used to be I felt for every character in a very strong way. I cared about Mordin's moral dilemma, Tali felt like a little sister to me, Garrus was a drinking buddy, and Thane fixated me with his culture. Most of all, I cared for Jack. I think at one point I genuinely crushed on the character, and found myself wishing I could find a girl a little like that.

But now I don't feel that. They no longer strike that chord within me. The magic is gone, and now all I see is 'just a game'. Before, it was way more than just a game. It was a life-changing story to experience. I genuinely felt like a better person for having played through Shepard's story. But after the endings, that all evaporated in a blink.

The DLCs have failed to bring it back, and have made it clear Bioware aren't going to try. The magic is gone, after this. The living, breathing characters of the games have gone to being just pixels on a screen.

Are you joking?  What do you call Omega?  A DLC cash grab to me is simple... adding a piece of content to the main game that should have been there already... or is just cool looking and will get suckers to buy.  I get it that people were happy to see their fav. characters get one last send off... but for those that cared about this series and wanted true justice to prevail over how EA/HudMacson obliterated ME3's finale it was pretty aggravating and honestly patronizing as hell.
