[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35079699]Rarely is pissing people off a good idea, and this is a prime example of it.[/QUOTE] I was okay with the endings, I don't know how BioWare is going to continue the series now that they've fucked the plot up like that. [sp]Destroying Mass Relays? There's no way they can repair the damage done to the game plot without HURR THE REAPERS 2. Not that it's a bad thing.[/sp]
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35079678]So, a (perhaps fake) image is circulating regarding upcoming DLC for Mass Effect 3. [url=http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/876/ohboyherewego.jpg]Linked to avoid some minor spoilers[/url] Take it with a few grains of salt.[/QUOTE] Interesting. So the ending [I]may not[/I] suck so hard, but NOPELOL you probably gotta pay for it if the gameplay and story is good in this supposed DLC I'd be happy to do so though
The art book is neat. I really like this picture; [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44722719/home.jpg[/IMG] I can't explain why, there were many paintings that were more spectacular. That one just feels... familiar. Like being in a place you go to school or work after hours when there's no one there. That's what it feels like.

Yeah, saying I'm skeptical about it would be an understatement.

Wait what [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Whatsinaname;35079760]Some random guy claiming to be a Bioware employee who just happens to know all future DLC and is willing to tell us? Yeah, saying I'm skeptical about it would be an understatement.[/QUOTE] Hey, guess where I found the scripts for the endings? On /v/. And guess what - they weren't false.
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;35079663]So i'm playing through Mass Effect 1, how do I get out of the APC thing when you're roaming around the planets as I can't get into a research facility cause I dunno how to get out.[/QUOTE] Anyone?
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;35079791]Anyone?[/QUOTE] If you're playing PC, it's the "Q" button.
snipped, ninjaaaa

Gonna call bullshit for now.[/sp]
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35079797]If you're playing PC, it's the "Q" button.[/QUOTE] I'll try it now.
[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;35079775]You have successfully established emotional link with vidya gaem. Wait what [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] Hey, guess where I found the scripts for the endings? On /v/. And guess what - they weren't false.[/QUOTE] Doesn't mean that guy is telling the truth.
I'm a bit pissed off that I never got to see [sp]the Destiny Ascension fire a single time throughout all three games, despite it being in multiple battle-scenes.[/sp]
I honestly would of preferred a cliche "shepard defeats the reapers and survives, everyone celebrates", at least that would have spared the god awful writing and plot twists
[QUOTE=Takuat;35079817][sp]Unless we're playing as squadmates in the Rescue DLC I don't see how it could work. Gonna call bullshit for now.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]But aren't the squadmates (Garrus, Liara, etc.) stranded on a planet?[/sp] [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Whatsinaname;35079826]Doesn't mean that guy is telling the truth.[/QUOTE] It's still very possible. Also, I found links to romance scripts on /v/ before the game was released, and they were correct too. :v:
[QUOTE=Loen;35079839]I honestly would of preferred a cliche "shepard defeats the reapers and survives, everyone celebrates", at least that would have spared the god awful writing and plot twists[/QUOTE] It would have been way more satisfying because it would make you feel like your past accomplishments actually meant something.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35079797]If you're playing PC, it's the "Q" button.[/QUOTE] Worked, thanks babe.
[QUOTE=Loen;35079839]I honestly would of preferred a cliche "shepard defeats the reapers and survives, everyone celebrates", at least that would have spared the god awful writing and plot twists[/QUOTE] While I agree, I have to say that an ending like this wouldn't be even slightly possible. I mean, Reapers obliterate humanity/etc and have obliterated other races during previous cycles and you expect this to go "just as planned"? Come on.
[QUOTE=Loen;35079839]I honestly would of preferred a cliche "shepard defeats the reapers and survives, everyone celebrates", at least that would have spared the god awful writing and plot twists[/QUOTE] I'm starting to think that's what just about everyone wanted. Maybe not the only ending, but at least have it as an option.
So I got Dr. Michel on my ship instead of Chakwas, is there any special dialog she has? I imagine there will be some with Garrus at least. I hope. I also called it off with Miranda since Ashley is back. Way to make me feel bad Bioware, did she really need to cry?
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35079869]I'm starting to think that's what just about everyone wanted. Maybe not the only ending, but at least have it as an option.[/QUOTE] Please don't tell me you'd like it in [b]paid[/b] DLC form like the people on BioWare forums do...
[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;35079884]Please don't tell me you'd like it in [b]paid[/b] DLC form like the people on BioWare forums do...[/QUOTE] Hell no.
[QUOTE=Takuat;35079817][sp]Unless we're playing as squadmates in the Rescue DLC I don't see how it could work. Gonna call bullshit for now.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Presumably, it would just assume that Shepard survived and chose to destroy the Reapers, much like ME3 assumed you survived ME2 for the sake of an easier and less silly plot.[/sp]
It's amazing how Bioware managed to get one of the best scenes in gaming history (space battle) within 30 minutes of the worst (game ending)
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35079893]Hell no.[/QUOTE] Thank god.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35079869]I'm starting to think that's what just about everyone wanted. Maybe not the only ending, but at least have it as an option.[/QUOTE] It's not that I wanted that to BE the ending, but at least it would have made coherent sense instead of some inconclusive, inconsistent ending that does nothing but leave everything unanswered and only raise more questions.
[QUOTE=mac338;35079907]It's amazing how Bioware managed to get one of the best scenes in gaming history (space battle) within 30 minutes of the worst (game ending)[/QUOTE] If they hadn't disabled game saving in the endgame, I would have saved 1 hour, because I wouldn't have had to listen through the dialogue 3 times in a row. :|

Come on.[/QUOTE] Yeah but that's entirely beside the point of the series, and beside -my- point entirely.
[QUOTE=Loen;35079942]Yeah but that's entirely beside the point of the series, and beside -my- point entirely.[/QUOTE] You don't say. No offense.
