[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

your not very smart are you tc?

If you had done any research thats what the basic 3 endings all the same have done they negated any choices you made throughout all 3 games because you do not get the ending you want you get a stock ending with minor differences.
Its the same thing fable 2 and 3 did throughout the game you had choices the ending usually 2 or 3 of them made those choices invalid since the ending really depended upon that last choice you made.

You're a Mass Effect fan, so you missing the3 point would be clear that this fix does not change anything and further just **** up the series, and the fan still does not get what they want. You guys and your whining was completely invalid.

They're not making a new ending.. They are simply adding to the current ending so it gives it closure. Which is exactly what people wanted in the first place.

You're late to the party. We already know it's not a new ending, it's the fans whining about wanting one and making the game even more limited in the "Choice" category.

They have their work cut out for them then. Cause everything points to right now that the Quarians and Turians are going to die a slow and horrible death. Not to mention the complete and utter BS introduction of Casper the stupid genocidal space ghost that came from the vent.

If you read that article linked it specifically says "BioWare strongly believes in the team's artistic vision for the end of this arc of the Mass Effect franchise. The extended cut DLC will expand on the existing endings, but no further ending DLC is planned. It's not being limited to one ending.. I don't expect much out of the DLC but it probably will add some closure to all 3 endings like stated.

Anyway, the lack choice wasn't the only reason fans hated the ending.

True.. The plotholes.. The damage is already done.. Maybe they'll some how add some minor details in there to explain how the alien races escaped the Sol system.

A single new endings... You normally speak/write english?

But besides the point, I think everyone knew that Bioware wasn't just going to up and change the ending. What they are doing is offering a compromise. Expand the ending to show what wasn't so that the main complaint of the endings not showing the effects of the decisions is addressed.

You normally speak/write english... You normally speak/write IN English?

I can speak English all I want, thank you very much. I can even write English. Its a language, all I need to do is write stuff down in English to write English. itss actually gramatically fine.

But its difficult to have a single new endings.

[QUOTE="Another48hours"]That's the thing though, fans are making the series meaningless.foxhound_fox
What? By wanting several vastly different endings for each of the possible branches they could have taken? Why couldn't there be an ending where the krogan died out and the rachni come back to dominate the galaxy? This doesn't make any sense. A game that offers "choice" and branching "choice paths" should have numerous possible outcomes.

Because there's no plot point in the game that could validate the krogan dying out, and because the rachni queen, if saved, doesn't want to 'dominate' the galaxy, being one of the few of her kind that's still alive.

A lot of sublots get tied up before the actual ending though: the Quarians can get their homeworld back or get decimated, the genophage can finally be cured (or not), etc. It would've been nice to have an epilogue that makes mention of this in the final moments of the game, but you still get the gist of how these particular subplots are concluded.

The ending itself was underwhelming, but that's another matter.

To Write English has to mean to write the word English, if Write English meant to just write letter in English it would be invalid. Because you can write the word English in other languages, therefore you are incorrect in your theory, as you must write in English not Write English.

No... None of that is correct. I'm going to write Mr. Jones. That can mean either to write to Mr Jones or to write the word Mr. Jones. Same premise. You can write other names in other languages as well. Its all right. Stop grasping at straws.

I am afraid webster does not agree. In real life, you would tell someone to "Write Mr.Jones In English." Not "Write English Mr. Jones." or "Write Mr.Jones" because the latter two you could write Mr.Jones in spanish.

It makes no sense to say Write English. Going for 5.

I hate that people complain about the choices you make in the games don't effect the endings, the big choices I make in ME3 are their own reward, I wouldn't have come this far if I didn't care for the characters, their universe, the problems between the various alien races, and I'm satisfied with how the story played out for the path I chose. I do think the ending could have been better thought out though, but I'm over that now. Anyhow, TC, from what I heard they're extending the endings and explaining them further to give gamers more satisfaction from them, I don't think they're changing the outcome of the ending choices at all.

Exactly, other fanboys of other games would complain if their third and last game of a trilogy came out with a WTF ending, that made no sense and contradicts everything you have done in the last three games.

Or maybe they could still point out, that all this uproar and attention that is Mass Effect 3 getting because of its endings, is simply over the top and ianppropriate in comparison to other games.

After all, Mass Effect 3 has shipped / sold "only" something like 3,5 million copies and yet, thanks to all the stunts of its fanbase and haters, such as Metacritic / Amazon review bombing, online petitions, cupcakes delivery, submission to Federal Trade Commission, charity collections - which wouldn't be a bad thing, if it wasn't for a rather selfish reasons behind them - and ton of social media campaigns, it has received more attention in most of medias, including non gaming ones such as Forbes, than most of other games that have sold 3 - 5 times more than that .

You may try to justify any of those actions, but you can't deny that Mass Effect's fanbase is extremely emotional and loud. And that in itself might be a subject to criticism for some people.

All of the current endings for Mass Effect 3 are just about the same. Lots of plot holes and inconsistencies. Don't take my word for it. Look them up on Youtube. The ending is crap, and I'm eager to see what Bioware does to make it right for fans.

Ok, the more I think about this the less sense it makes, so there's a rumor, or it's confirmed, that Bioware is making DLC for a new ending for ME3 because the fans are whining about there not being too much difference between the like 16 endings for ME3.

This doesn't make any sense, the point of Mass Effect is a series that within each game what you do in them (or the previous ones if you play them) all change what happens and it's your choice, everything is done your way the way you want it to.

Because of very dumb fanboy whining, Bioware is working on A ending (Or that's what they are saying.) to try and calm the angry fans who actually want this to happen.

So basically, ME3 fans made it so that doing crap your own way and getting different results for it COMPLETELY POINTLESS if the rumors are true they are making A new ending. Becuase now you have a scripted ending coming up that will be considered the REAL ending becuase of the fans, meaning playing thorugh ME3 and expecting a different end result will be completely pointless.

Great Job Mass Effect fans, you f*cked up your own series, you guys took what your game was about crushed it, and creamated it with idiocity. Are you guys really this damn stupid?

If you really wanted a new ending, you guys should have asked for new ENDINGS not freaking one because apparently according to sources that's all they areworking on, and that makes the entire point pointless, making it so that in the end, Mass Effect becomes the Highlander Series, and says F*ck you to what the series was about in the first place.

To think, people actually though you cared about the games you liked.-Peter Molyneux (I actually agree with this guy.)

More info on ME3 Ending:

a.wrong, not a new ending, they will try to fill the gigantic plot holes the original endings had, and it doesn't have 16 ending it has 3, red, green and blue, unless you count a picture of something "a different" ending then most games could make a lot of "different" endings. And even then they are very similar.

b. exactly, the current endings don't have anything to do with what you did in the game or previous game, just walk toward the desired colored ending.

imo finish the game because you clearly haven't and stop spreading missinformation .

There's some legitimate reasons to all the hoo-haa, fair enough people are frustrated with poor endings. I find the stupid attention grabbing initiatives far worse; be it piggy-backing Child's Play or the stupid cupcake sending; if you take a good look at the Bioware Social Network forums then you're given plenty of reason why this idiocy seems to cultivate in the fandom. That and there's nothing funnier than Mass Effect fans screaming that the series is something other than what it is, in this grasp for artistic validation.

[QUOTE="OhSnapitz"]Well it seems to me that most of the fanboys who bash ME fanboys either a) Never played the series or b) Didn't play ME3... Either way you have NO opinion in the matter. Carry on.. SciFiRPGfan


Or maybe they could still point out, that all this uproar and attention that is Mass Effect 3 getting because of its endings, is simply over the top and ianppropriate in comparison to other games.

After all, Mass Effect 3 has shipped / sold "only" something like 3,5 million copies and yet, thanks to all the stunts of its fanbase and haters, such as Metacritic / Amazon review bombing, online petitions, cupcakes delivery, submission to Federal Trade Commission, charity collections - which wouldn't be a bad thing, if it wasn't for a rather selfish reasons behind them - and ton of social media campaigns, it has received more attention in most of medias, including non gaming ones such as Forbes, than most of other games that have sold 3 - 5 times more than that .

You may try to justify any of those actions, but you can't deny that Mass Effect's fanbase is extremely emotional and loud. And that in itself might be a subject to criticism for some people.

I agree with you.. I believe they should be subject to criticism... by people that have actually experienced the game/s. That would be like me ridiculing someone about Uncharted 3, even though I never played the game.
