You missed out the R in Bioware. First line of the paragraph starting 'Potential'. I was trying to think of a funny comment about it but couldn't come up with any.

| I can't believe people are saying this needs to be good to save the series/bioware's reputation. The Mass Effect trilogy are three of the best games ever released spanning over 100 hours of gameplay (if you rushed it and only played through each once) almost every bit of it top notch. So yeah, the ending sucked but to swear off buying any more Mass Effect/Bioware titles because of the end cut-scene I find pretty ridiculous! But hey, it's your choice... |

What ever people think of the ending you have to give credit to bioware for doing this. I have mixed opinions about the ending but bioware didn't have to change anything.
Sadly no matter what they've done with this DLC people will still complain they don't like it. |

| @9, really? The FAQ for the extended cut specifically says this DLC does NOT change the ending. So, sounds like the anti-ending crowd didn't get what they wanted given that nearly all the complaints involving the ending would require a serious rewrite to fix. Also, ungrateful? Really? You say that as though BioWare handed us all copies of ME3 for free so we have no right to complain about the product. We are consumers, and we bought their product. If we have problems with their product, we have every RIGHT to complain about it. I am sick and tired of the anti anti-ending crowd calling people whiners and entitled kids when they are exercising their rights as consumers. |

| @30: The game wasn't broken now was it? You could still play it right? Okay then you have NOTHING to complain about. You put your time into the game and obviously was having fun enough to go to the end. The reason I call all of you entitled is you think this game has to cater to YOU because you bought it. No because Bioware made it the way it was. Obviously everyone is going to have differing opinions about the ending, that's fine but the fact that you all whined and cried about it to make Bioware give you this extended cut and then CONTINUE to whine and cry about it makes you entitled. Seriously if you want to exercise your right as a consumer do it on more important things like say fast food for instance... |

@3 You didn't actually thing you'd be playing more did you? In pretty much all of the endings ***SPOILER ALERT...MAYBE*** Shepard died. You controlled Shepard in all 3 games (except for Joker briefly), so how did you think you'd be playing anything else?
After playing through the game a couple of times, I could care less about the ending now. I think about it and realize, that was their choice and I was fine with it. But I guess more fleshed out endings will suffice since it's free. |

This is what you promised us before launch (endings where our choices matter and won't be just ending A, B, or C). You should have delivered this at launch, not 3 months later. |

This game should of had multiple endings to begin with. There's a good number of people who wanted the fairtale/sunset ending, and then also the depressing/sad ending which we did somewhat get. All we really did get were 3 endings that were actually all the same with very minor differences.
However, I'll gladly download this though, as I love the ME trilogy despite the ME3 ending. Plus, IT'S FREE! So really if this 'closure' DLC turns out to be suckish, no harm would have been done really. |

I'm glad they're extending it, because I'll be straight up: The ending sucked ass.
Then again, I always expected the ending to be disappointing, they often are for how much they're anticipated, so it didn't really surprise me - although it was somewhat worse than I expected.
All that mattered in the end, for me at least, was that Bioware had given me one of the best damn stories in a video-game series up until that point, and well over 100 hours of enjoyable gameplay.
Frankly, I'd say that's a win anyday of the week, regardless of my feelings on the ending. |

though as a consumer i have the right to bring my complaints to the offending individual so they have a chance to fix it. that way they can still make money off me in the future. that is the consumer/customer relationship. obviously they waited to release other story dlc because a lot of customers refused to buy it before the ending was fixed. that was there business decision. mine however is not to buy any more of there products (EA) till they change how they treat customers. i dont mind spending money on a product. i just dont want to fell like all i am is a check to the corporate overlord. |

This whole debacle has left me embarrassed for the gaming community. For years I've seen "Are Video Games Art?" and "Has a Video Game Made You Cry?" stories. Try petitioning an author or a director to change their vision. Tell them that they owe it to you because you are a ticket-buying consumer.
"I'm not entitled. You just owe me."
These folks will still rage on after this DLC comes out. 12 people, max, will have the character to understand that Bioware tried to give something back to the fans. Most will curse them and EA only complain louder.
This is sad. I am ashamed. |

I don't expect this to fix the actual issues with the ending. For the record, the main problem was not that our choices didn't matter or that it was too sad, even those are legitimate gripes. No, the main problem with the ending is that the story's narrative coherence rapidly crumbles before disintegrating completely. Clarification and more closure is not going to fix that.
Also, FatalFlaw, the fact that the rising action of the game (the Tuchanka and Rannoch arcs) were excellent does not make the ending complaints any less justified. The fact that BioWare demonstrated a mastery of their medium in those parts of the game, yet completely bungled the ending is quite puzzling. |

Right now I'm laughing at the people who sold ME3 and are forced to rebuy it just to see this ending (I never sell my games because of shit like this).
Ok I'm never one to question an ending of a story if it makes sense and closes the story well. I don't know whether this was a good decision or not on Bioware's behalf considering I haven't bought the game yet (I refuse to pay 60 dollars for any game). But I have high hopes that it will make the SAD ending make more sense in context to what has happened in the previous games. |

@63: Um, what? I think YOU need to stop a second and reread what you are replying to. Where in my post did I say "Because I didn't like the ending, I deserve to get my money back"? I said, since I DID pay money for this game, I have a right to voice my OPINION on the game and to try and let the developers know what I think of their game. In the case of ME3, MANY of us gave an opinion that the ending did not make any sense when you take into account everything else we've learned throughout all three games. (If you want to know what all these problems are and the evidence for why the ending makes no sense there are plenty of threads at the BioWare Social Network you could view, I have no desire to turn this article into a thread on that debate)
Now, because of so many people voicing dissatisfaction with the ending, this made BioWare feel like they had to do something. No one FORCED BioWare to do anything, THEY decided that it would be best for them to do something. And THAT is how the market works. A company makes a product. Consumers buy that product. Consumers then voice their complaints and praises for that product. Then the company does one of two things. A) Tries to address complaints about their product. B) Ignores the complaints about the product and hopes that either the people who had problems feel that the problem(s) is/are small enough to be overlooked, or that the people who had problems are such a small portion of their customers that they don't take any real hit to their consumer base. |

Ok here we go.
The origional ending that they had planned had something to do with dark energy, personnally I don't know what dark energy is but it is whar caused the F'ed up sun in ME2's recruit Tali mission (you learn this from Reegar in Tali's loyalty misson if he lived).
But thius ending was leaked, and Bioware didnt want to go with that ending because it had been 'spoilt', but EA didnt want to delay the game, so they cut the dark energy ending, and quickly wrote/programmed what we recieved all the while writing this extended ending and planning on releasing in a couple of months after launch.
Granted that time frame passed but they are finally delivering, so no it wasnt people 'bitching' that caused them to release this, but yes there was something 'wrong' with the ending but Bioware knew.
Would you have rather waited to see the full ending straight away? If yes, blame EA, if no then you have nothing to complain about. |

| As for what is going to be the next game in the franchise, I have no idea but I'm hoping for a RTS like halo wars, there are enough factions to easily pull it off, EA will probably want them to churn out mass effect 4 where you play as Shepards corpse. |

Without a doubt. And a cert!! Most people will still complain about the ending. I think, because of so many choices over the 3 games. Everyone has there different version of the way this EPIC! Triogly should have ended.
Anyway rant over, cant wait to see what direaction Bioware are heading in. Goodtimes...
To be continued... |

| I played every single Mass Effect. Put over easily 300 hrs and I loved the ending. Yea I understand why people complained, but people went to far. Mass Effect 3 is a brilliant game. If you listened to their interview. They said that they took a creative approach and it is hard to please everyone. I honestly didn't think they needed to extend the ending but I'm not going to complain. It's more Mass Effect! I really do think the indoctrination theory is true. Epically after listening to the interview. Hopefully we will find out Tuesday. |

All choices in mass effect had repercussions. The choice you make st the end, possibly the biggest choice in the game affected who was in final scenes and colours. Little disappointing.
Think that was the main downside. What was the point in selecting an ending for you to not see a little more of the aftermath unless they were saving it for paid dlc but decided to cave to people whining?
I wouldn't be bothered if they hadn't done this but am happy others whining has led to extended ending and hope that it will be less disappointing than original cut. |

The behind the scenes pictures they have on the official site have me very interested. (surviving crew on the Normandy looking at the memorial plaque, most likely at Shepard's name, Tali (or a Quarian) on Rannoch, the cutscene showing why Joker left Earth before the ending etc)
Also the fact that you have to start at the Cerberus Base Assault instead of the return to the Citadel along with the voice of Male Shep tweeting that he is doing more voice overs make me look forward to this greatly. |

I wish instead of trying to please all the cry babies who didnt like the ending cut scene, Bioware should've put all that time and effort into good DLC which actually expands on the story, not something which makes me replay the same thing over and over. Just doesnt sound appealing at all just for a ending cut scene? like honestly kids?
i say it was a waste of time, and i'll probably not play this DLC.. also there was nothing wrong with the endings to any of them. all 3 of the Mass Effects were purely amazing. |

Sure Bioware is going to listen to people for the "extended" campaign DLC. I still wish they would added more for the From the Ashes DLC, like added a Prothean as a multiplayer character for the DLC purchaser. It was disappointing for the first DLC to be so short and acquire only very little assets for your campaign story.
It would still be nice to see a DLC based/revolving around Omega.
Hopefully the next multiplayer DLC maps will make up for the Firebase Jade, the map has poor cover availability and Firebase Goddesses has too much cover for the enemies, mainly Cerberus on Silver Difficultly. |

Mass Effect 3 is the epitome of "forgettable." Almost every single character that is awesome dies or is unplayable. You get stuck with a rag-tag team of squad-mates, and a good half of them are worthless and stupid. (I didn't use Tali in any game save for the first Mass Effect for the achievement. What a useless character.) Not to mention how incredibly bland the story turned out to be. Most of the best dialogue and cut-scenes came from side-missions, not campaign.
It also introduced a few lame, forgettable characters, (Vega. Oh god, Vega). And to top it all off with the whipped cream, it had such a horrible ending(s) that I don't know how BioWare possibly feels good and sleeps with themselves at night.
I don't even know if I am going to bother putting the game back in my system again for Round #2 of a serious butt-fucking.
I honest-to-god blame EA for this entire debacle. BioWare was an awesome company pre-EA, and has turned out nothing but garbage since EA showed face. |

I just started my first playthrough yesterday, have not even beat the game or better yet I've not seen the ending. The first time I see the so called "Horrible Ending" it will be with the Extended Cut DLC so I should be all good.
I'll never know what all the fuss was over when it came to the ME3 ending because I waited for the Extended Cut DLC to release. The "DLC Era" is the main reason I like to wait for GOTY's |

| i'm was disappointed with the ending not so much that shep died that is fine. but there is so much that didn't make sense why was joker and some of my crew mates in a jump to another planet what is with the creepy child and also was shep really being controlled by the reapers i mean seriously i would be fine with shep dying to be honest i think it would been cool that he awoke back on the ship and the whole thing was kinda of a mental battle of him versus sovereign and you have an epic space and earth battle and manage to break though and get into the citadel with your team only to in the end sacrifice your self because its the only way or heck it might be cool that when activate the crucible your spirit becomes an anti reaper super god or something unleashing a cleansing wave of energy and then you land on the citadel to tell everyone good bye and then you fade away. and then maybe you get a 5 years later telling what everyone's doing since that day. because I would like to see my kid that tali and my shep created. and i just really hated that the good choice was killing all mechanical beings because I like the geth and I really liked EDI(and I wanna see how her and joker's relationship pays off). that's all i'm saying. i've never been really disappointed with bioware games i did hate da:o that mine and leliane relationship wasn't talked about anymore and and the gameplay was boring but the story was really good da:2 i loved the combat and the story was okay but the leveling sucked. but booth were good in their own way. i just hope da3 can pull it off. |

God, you people are fucking children. "WAAHH. BIOWARE DOESN'T LISTEN TO MY NEEDS, THEY DON'T LISTEN TO THE FANS." The ironic thing is..once this comes out people will STILL bitch. How about growing up for a change? Realize that this entire trilogy is over 100+ hours of people's blood, sweat and tears. The folks over at Bioware have crafted a marvelous universe, filled with its own lore and mythology.
That takes work. It takes dedication. And here, all I see are people pissing all over that work. "WAHH. THIS BETTER BE GOOD, OR I'M NEVER BUYING A BIOWARE GAME AGAIN." We both know it's bullshit. So sit down, shut up, and enjoy this piece of content that we all know you fucking prats don't deserve. |

The only one I see acting like a child here, "astonwave", is you. I haven't read the entire thread, but a lot of us here are explaining ourselves quite rationally without insulting the other party.
In fact, it appears as if the only people acting like children here are the people that were ok with the original endings, as you all are throwing insults around like it somehow proves that Mass Effect 3 did indeed have a good ending.
Like other people have said, as a consumer I have a right to complain about a product that I've bought. I'm truly done with BioWare just like I've cut-off EA. I'm not going to give my money to shitty companies and that's a personal choice.
But please, show me more responses with caps lock left on and tell me how "immature" and "Cry-baby" I'm being. It really proves your point. |

Couldn't agree more. People have a right to voice their opinions on a product they paid good money for. I think we all recognise the irony of calling someone "childish" or "immature" or "entitled" because they dared voice an opinion that differs from theirs. |

| To Everyone B_tching BioWare is changing the ending, “the endings don’t change, they’re just fleshed out and they will differ depending on choices made throughout the entire Mass Effect series.” THEY DONT!! So STFU about being ungrateful, whiny, and "it's just a game" simply because you could accept a shit ending filled with hundreds of plotholes/inconsistencies. That being said even more people who were pissed before will be even more pissed after this because they keep the flawed ending and try to justify what will happen with the choices you've made. even if they change it they would have to retcon the grandpa and child if somehow shepard reunited with his crew or if they found a way to rebuild ships. |

@77 - Nah, I'll actually defend EA there (oh look, a flying pig...), as they'd already delayed the game once by about six months. Given Bioware were still dicking about in November, and basically came up with an ending in a few minutes, that part of things is on Bioware.
I'll happily slag EA off for loads of other things though. |

My problem with the ending was that we were specifically promised that we would not be given a choice between A, B, or C. And then, at the end, we were given a choice between A, B, or C with almost no difference between the three options. We were promised ALL of our choices across the entire series would matter, and in the end all the choices we made up until the last one changed nothing. 100% Paragon, 100% Renegade, 50% either way, doesn't matter. You all get the exact same ending. The only choice that matters is the last one. Oh, and whether or not you played a lot of multiplayer or did a lot of sidequests that did not contain any choices beyond ACCEPT QUEST Y/N?
To put this in perspective, deciding whether to wander across the galaxy and scan a planet for two seconds to retrieve an old turian flag that some turian soldiers are talking about in a bar is more important than whether or not you chose to let the Council live in ME1 or blew up the Collector Base in ME2.
There are a lot of games that I absolutely adored for the entire run, but then I hated the ending. With those games, all I did was shrug it off and move on, because I was not actually promised anything by the developer. That is not the case here.
To be perfectly honest, I don't actually give a shit about the content of ME3's ending itself; my problem with BioWare is that fact that they directly contradicted themselves. I'm not complaining about the fact that I didn't like their "artistic vision". I'm complaining about the fact that they lied about what they delivered. |

My only problem with the ending was the fact that it wasn't explained well enough what happened to your squadmates. Or any of the other races that were stranded on earth. There wasn't any closure. Especially for people who played previous games where you got really into the story.
I didn't really like the god-child thing, but that isn't my main problem with the ending. |

Thumbs up/down rating is confusing. Statement #80 currently has thumbs down yet #81 agreeing has thumbs up. Do people just thumb up/down randomly out of boredom or just to try and wind people up? Guessing the latter?
OT: Wonder if ending will explain why Normandy is where it is in current ending. |

@108 I noticed that as well.
I had no problems with the ending though I'll happily take some free content coming my way.
The endings were not the greatest things I have ever seen. The different colors is what felt lazy to me. I understand that when you end something that is so open ended things have to come to a basic front so that they can more easily start whatever comes next.
I hope this DLC will flesh things out some. The thing that got to me with the ending was I wanted to know what happened to everyone. |

To anyone who says people who didn't like the ending are whiners, and BioWare never should've catered to them:
Even ignoring how much the ending sucks, are you honestly trying to say it's right that BioWare broke every single promise and statement they made about the ending in all the prerelease promos and interviews? Are you saying it's okay that they basically described the exact ending we got, and said it wouldn't be like that? Paraphrasing, but the gist was "It won't be an arbitrary a/b/c ending, there'll be 16 wildly different endings all relating to the choices you've made through the three games. We can really go crazy with them since we don't have to make it tie together for a fourth game".
Never mind your opinion of the ending as it was, it's not okay for them to totally misrepresent the product like that. And the EC won't fix that, there are no new endings. |

@100,103
don't forget, much of that delay was attributed to the creation of the multiplayer mode, and i'm sure ea and their greedy online pass had a large role in this.
perhaps if they didn't try to shoehorn a cash extortion scheme into the game and spent all of the dev time on the campaign, things would have turned out different. (they could have easily done the multiplayer as a stand alone xbla/psn game after the fact) |
