BioWare Announces Post-Ending DLC for Mass Effect 3 [Updated!] Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NEXT | |
Well, better then I expected? | |
As someone else said, best of both worlds. People who liked the ending, get more information on something they already enjoyed. People who disliked the ending hopefully get more closure and will hopefully have less head exploding problems with what was presented. People who really hate the endings however...will probably never be happy. | |
JUST LET ME ANNIHILATE HARBINGER PLEASE. I DONT CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. i wanna add him to my reaper bone count necklace... that and, maybe fix up some of the plotholes. ill be fine if i know that the species can travel back home wihtout the relays and if i know how joker n crew ended up where they were. thats all. | |
Well all I can do at this point is copy everyone else and say "Hey, at least it's free." Captchas: until tonight. That makes me worry. | |
I'm willing to give Bioware a chance with this. I'm not going to judge it before hand and will try to avoid all spoilers regarding it so I can go in to it with a open mind. I was only disappointed with the endings rather than outraged like many other ME fans, so this post ending DLC has every chance of making things ok in my books. If there is anyway to get Harbinger more involved then I hope they do it, he was the biggest omission in ME3 for me. | |
mother ******* http://twitter.com/#!/GambleMike/status/187946105097564160 I really wish they would stop teasing... | |
This is going to be terrible now every decent franchise that is not 100% awesome will have a group of "fans" shouting that the developers should change it. So this is the end of days with thread after thread of people shouting they should have made a better game and hundreds of "retake" whatever all over the place. | |
It appears that once again the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Hope you fans are happy with yourselves for being the noisiest wheel of the industry. Not like there are any other more important things that need to be addressed....... | |
Aren't YOU an optimistic one? There are going to be even MORE threads about the ending when this comes out. I can only wonder how the nutjobs on the social forums will react to it. | |
Hey, Bioware, bit of advice. If you really want people to stop wanting your head on a pike, make it so that Tali actually has an in game face model and not a freaking photoshop in the epilouge. Just throwing that out there. I have mixed feelings about this overall. I'm happy that this is free but I'm a little worried that they're still going with the starchild destroy control synthasis bull. You really can't explain this kind of stuff away, but I will reserve judgement until it comes out. | |
Yes, free and optional is the way to go. | |
Given the circumstances, this is probably the best thing Bioware could have realistically done. If it was DLC you had to pay for, people would be even more pissed. The fact that it's free is definitely a show of good faith on Bioware's part. Because we have to wait till summer though, I do hope it's something a little bit more than just a bunch of text walls like Dragon Age Origins. I would like fully rendered cutscenes, but I think that might be asking a bit much. Maybe it will be a motion comic like Mass Effect Genesis? Also I have to agree, I hope I get one more romance scene with Garrus. I wanna see human/turian babies! | |
This is good. They listen to the fans but stay behind the product they delivered. I think it's the compromise everyone was waiting for. | |
Now we get the ending dlc hate wave which will fight the "it was free" people, the people liked the ending dlc and the people who liked the original ending or didn't want change. The age of blood has ended, the age of fire is just begining. The all-new Chevy Sonic needs to learn that brand recognition is good up to a point. Once you cross that point I go from "ok I know that car" to "right, if I am to buy car anytime soon it will not be a chevy". | |
Lol. Nice try, BioWare, but this means your shit ending will still exist. Or I read wrong. xD | |
I just want my X-rated scene with Garrus. Is that too much to ask? | |

I used to acknowledge what Bob said, but after a few recent episodes of him mindlessly brushing off our concerns and saying some offensive things towards the fans when he hasn't even placed anytime in researching about the ME3 ending, nor playing it himself.. all credibility flies out the window for him. So if he gets mad, I will simply quote him. I shall quote him and briefly say, "Perhaps it would be best if you took the time to see why the fuss was there in the first place buddy. Jim actually did research, and he actually understands from our point of view. You can too..." Because really, someone with his reputation simply not doing any research and yet bashing the fans is downright wrong. It all comes down to me not caring really, but feeling disappointed if Bob gets mad and still not doing any research or giving valid examples for being so upset. OT: .. Free? I don't trust Bioware as much as I used to, but it was considerate of them to make it free. Hopefully it ether clears up the ending with a much better, more sensible ending or let's us have more choices in how to deal with the reapers which actually leads to a good ending without some minor cutscene. All well, we'll just have to see. | |
I suppose this is as close to satisfying everybody as they can get. Artistic integrity crowd have nothing to complain about, and the ending sucks crowd at least get something for their efforts. | |
Hear hear! I make multimedia movies for a living (I approach it artistically), and I can tell you up about 90% of the time my original idea is stomped/rejected/mauled/transformed into something else, and I have to make edits I'm artistically opposed to for the sake of what others want. But since I want to keep a roof over my head, I play ball. As for this Director's Cut, I'm neither happy nor sad about it until I play the DLC to completion. Could be brilliant. Could be a trainwreck. I don't see the point getting worked up either way until I have it in my paws. Now what I AM angry about is that after a month on shelves, I STILL can't import the faces of my Shepards that I used in ME1 & 2. Where was the rage over THAT, people!? I'm not playing ME3 again until I can use the faces as I created them in 2007. | |
Out of curiosity, have you played ME3? I feel like this was a special case; third game in a trilogy which set itself up so people would get extremely invested, great writing up until the last 10 minutes, etc. Kind of the perfect storm.
...such as? | |
Now If people rage through this one, they better have a damn good reason to do so. Bioware has listened to the complaints and spend their time, their effort, and their money trying to make you happy. How do I know? Because its free. So even if you don't like it, you shouldn't complain. Captcha: teh inter webs | |
At the very least its free. | |
"Bioware not doing exactly what I say and making the new ending exactly what I want? Never buying anything from them ever again, even though the RetakeME3 thing that I supported worked, and we are getting what we asked for." Really people? Bioware did what you asked. They are changing the ending, just like you all wanted. What the hell more do you want? | |
If they are able to turn the pile of crap we currently have into a pile of diamonds this way, I will totally buy every bit of ME3 DLC that comes out. However, until this comes out, the best I can see is that this will amount to nothing more than spraying some perfume on the pile of crap and shouting from the rooftop "IT'S MAINTAINING ARTISTIC INTEGRITY!" Either way, we'll find out soon enough I suppose. Free, though, is a good start.
They aren't changing squat. They're going to try and patch the glaring plotholes instead of just taking care of what caused the plotholes. | |
Seriously. Forget about RGB. We're gonna need CMYK to keep track of it! This is by no means a conclusive list (and it assumes the DLC is the same for RGB), but it's a start. The groups that will emerge are those who: - Love Ending / Hate DLC What did I miss? | |
Weak of them. And they now prove they are evil.... Now I can't complain about the ending :( But it's going to be nice if it's good. I've seen many explanation and suggestions about what they need to change by their fans, now I just hope they choose a good one... Not necessary a everyone-survives-rainbows-puppies-and-unicorns kind though.... | |
Well, it still doesn't seem to fix the annoying circular logic of the Catalyst, the jarring twist of the ending, none of the mechanics of the endings actually being explained, and the Mass Relays being destroyed. But it fixes the most pressing issue at least, and it does it for free, so I guess I can be grteful for that. | |
I have played and completed multiple times all mass effects and i was okay about the endings they were not good but felt they were not as bad as some people make out. But that is not my problem i feel this opens the gate to all sorts of problems lets look at the the games that had large voiced complaints in the last 10 months.Skyrim,Dragon age,fallout nv,portal 2,batman arkham city,call of duty mw 3,deus ex revoluion,gears of war 3,gta 4 etc etc these "great" games all had groups of players shouting how terrible a part of the game was and rightfully so. But normally these problems would be viewed by the developers who would and try to fix it in the next game.But now these groups will demand that the developers go back and fix the problem it will not end.If it keeps building developers are going to have move teams to fix parts of game they have already "finished" this will but less people working on newer titles while raising prices of development | |
Congratulations to all the people who pissed and moaned like entitled little bitches. You've proven that video games are not an art. You've also shown that if something is not what you want you will complain. You will bitch, piss, moan, complain and whine till you get your way. Congratulations. You're children. Entitled little kids who scream and yell till they get what they want. | |
I will forgo the urge to give you a snarky answer in the interests of letting my rage subside and will instead be candid. The most important thing to take away form the ME series is that; the grand success of what is essencially a "Choose your own adventure" game series means that we can expect to see more games that follow this pattern. Those patterns being a grand scope that incompases a universe of weird and cool aliens, interesting scifi technology that the entire series is built around, Talented voice actors giving great preformances, Lovable and complex characters like Wrex and Garrus, and the ability to maintain this quality over 3 games dispite an ending that not everyone was happy with. I fear that the public outcry to change the ending might cause some developers to second guess making their own "Choose your own adventure" game series. | |
I think bioware should get some major props for what they're doing here. I mean most companies would've pretended that the complaints didn't exists, or worse try to make the people complaining about them look like morons. But here they not only acknowledge that people are upset they're giving a free dlc to try to make them happy. I don't think I ever seen something like that before from a video game company, and that really does deserve more credit then it's getting here. | |
I see your point. My own hope is that other devs will look at all of what was said by the people who did not like the writing and realize that the ending failed specifically because they ditched the "choose your own adventure" part at the end. Not all will, obviously, but I can think of a few devs who would definitely notice that part. | |

That was utterly excellent, really made my day. Thanks for linking it buddy.
A playable epilogue? With Garrus Vakarian as the PC?
I KEEP THROWING MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING!
But Seriously, Garrus effectively is paragade Shepard, if there would be any character that'd inherit Shepard's position as the new Mass Effect PC, it'd be him.
