[QUOTE=IMoo;35127515]So for the people talking about the [sp]Destroy ending, is that like him waking up after destroying their hold on him or is it like him falling down and somehow living[/sp]
[editline]13th March 2012[/editline]
I would assume he moves.[/QUOTE]
But the base orbits the same star in both games?
[QUOTE=Delta616;35127355]Outstanding DLC with an proper explanation on why the ending was like that will fix it. And I expect no less after the questionable actions that Bioware pulled off as the ending.[/QUOTE]
You really think they'll [sp]explain circuit skin by green space explosions and who the little boy is without going into even more crazy nonsensical shit? Really? I think you have a bit too much faith in Bioware. Apart from that, there's a lot of shit in the base game that is not the ending that's not gonna be fixed, like the pile of contrived shit that the galactic score system is or EDIs and legions writing and arcs, huge plotholes regarding the war itself and the citadel/council/alliance and supposed moral choices that imply gameplay changes, forcing you to make a choice based on mechanical benefit instead of moral.[/sp]

Bioware has yet to let me down on the Mass Effect franchise in the long run and I doubt they will anytime soon. You can bitch and complain all you want, meanwhile I will still continue to play and enjoy the game, and keep a positive attitude and faith that they will answer all our questions. Care to elaborate the "plot holes" you are referring to?
[QUOTE=Delta616;35127531]Seriously! Bioware is not stupid, they would not run their flagship game into the ground, but at the same time they are forced to be greedy thanks to EA.

Hey! Spoilers tags![/QUOTE]
Well don't quote it then!
[QUOTE=Spool;35127512]I wonder why Miranda has to [sp]place a tracking beacon on Kai Leng to get the location for the Cerberus base, when it's pretty obvious she knows it, being there in person with IM at the start of ME2 and stuff.
Also, Shepard never thinks to ask Miranda for the location? What the crap.[/sp]
Whoop's, spoiler tags.[/QUOTE]
Never tought about it that way.
[QUOTE=Spool;35127545]But the base orbits the same star in both games?[/QUOTE]
Isn't there something about the star behind him changing colour at the end of ME2 if you were paragon or renegade? There might also be something about it in Retribution, I can't remember.
The whole [sp]indoctrination theory hangs on the assumption that it was meant this way. It's a neat theory and I hope Bioware runs with it, but I personally believe they just ran out of time or something and cobbled together whatever assets they had for the ending originally and stuck them in an order that would make sense at least superficially. It just seems like there'd be more to it, even without an epilogue or anything. The missing Joker attacking Harbinger part and the extra Anderson dialogue, for example. [/sp]
[QUOTE=Jackald;35127620]Perhaps the [sp]kid is harbinger. Shepard is the only person with the sheer will to be able to fully resist Harbinger's indoctrination.[/sp][/QUOTE]
I was considering that, or [sp]Perhaps the kid is real, and his death had a large emotional impact on Shepard.[/sp]

Yeah, it really feels that way. I'm hoping that they had a better idea for the ending, but they ran out of time and had to put some shit together instead, and will later add the ending they originally wanted.
I hope that's the case.

1920 x 1200 original quality. Give it some time to process.[/QUOTE]
Was that suppose to be funny? That is 30 seconds i'll never get back.

Insane quality, awesome.
But the video ain't too good.
Delta, you really think this is all EAs fault and Bioware is perfect? You're just a fanboy, Bioware fucked up, you can't deny that.
[QUOTE=The DooD;35124999]I just had a genius idea. My friend still hasn't completed Mass Effect 3. I'm going to film his face through the final 20 minutes of the game and upload it to youtube.
It's going to be like 2 girls 1 cup reactions times a billion.[/QUOTE]
Going to have to postpone this unfortunately. My friend cannot decide between [sp]Sabotaging the cure or Curing the Genophage[/sp]. It seems to me like both options are pretty good, I'm finding it hard to understand how it could take him so long to choose. I'm concerned what his choice is going to be [sp]between saving the Quarians and Geth, unless he just saves both[/sp]
[QUOTE=Numidium;35127837]Delta, you really think this is all EAs fault and Bioware is perfect? You're just a fanboy, Bioware fucked up, you can't deny that.[/QUOTE]
Excuse me, but I never said Bioware is perfect, and I never said it was EA's fault. Don't put words in my mouth. Bioware had to adapt to EA's business model, just like all the of EA's subsidiaries. Calling me a fanboy because I still have faith for Bioware and the future of Mass Effect 3? Pathetic.
List of things I think Bioware has done wrong.
1. Dragon Age 2.
2. Ending the base game of Mass Effect 3 the way they did.
3. Charging the players who did not invest in the collectors or Digital Deluxe edition of the game for the "From Ashes DLC" (EA's marketing department is responsible for that)
4. Several minor problems with SWTOR.

Oh god please stop shitting on people's opinions and try and force your own on them.
I trust bioware, I think they got this covered and it's all gonna turn out fine. I quite like the indoctrination theory. Opinions. Get over them.
Apparently, the retake Mass Effect 3 movement has made nearly 7,5k for childrens charity in under 24 hours.

I just made it really quick to procrastinate from studying Stats.
I'll be studying now.
and stop arguing.
i just want to hear back from bioware about this situation
come on bioware don't fail me now
[QUOTE=Jackald;35127867]Yeah but the problem is [sp] none of that matters at all. The endings invalidate those choices[/sp][/QUOTE]
This is the worst thing. I want to tell him that but we have a strict no spoilers policy, and that's the biggest one of all [sp]...since it spoils the entire series[/sp]

If only...
One thing I can't wrap my head around is the fact that the [sp]destroy[/sp] ending features a very short scene with [sp]Shepard inhaling and apparently lying in rubble for some reason. When, If I'm correct, the whole damn citadel exploded.[/sp]

Pretty much everyone else, too. At least, I think.
Yall fanboys don't realize that DLC now doesn't even matter if it's about how great Bioware is, right? Even if they explain the ending, they still released an unfinished game at that point, and you might say that finding that unacceptable is a matter of opinion, I myself don't think games should be released unfinished, but that's your precious little opinion for you. Maybe you're okay with buying unfinished products, maybe you're okay with this ending, I don't understand either of those positions, but if you feel like sucking up Bioware's until they release 4 new endings as 10$ DLC, be my guest.

Ok thanks. I understand what you are saying. But I would Personally prefer a late ending that made sense than one that was nonsensical and provided No closure, regardless of the implications to bioware.

Maybe if you weren't such an ass about other people's opinions, and called us "Fanboys" we would respect your opinion.

Okay why do you have to be such an ass to begin with? We know your stance, I agree with it, no need to force it down everyone's throat.
I'm not going to buy a DLC that changes the ending unless it adds considerable content, anyway. It's been a few days I've completed the game, I still feel like shit, but I can't deny the indoctrination theory is pretty well funded and hilarious too.
Even if they worked with that theory, they'd still look like idiots because the community came up with it first and they'd admit they didn't sell the complete game. Plus, I don't know if they could charge for a DLC if that's the case, because anyone who bought the game are entitled to the ending.

I completely agree with you. They're releasing a game, which has actively been marketed as finishing an entire series with a very climactic ending, only to have the ending only be effectively half done. Not even really ready.
It's competely wrong. I'll only buy any DLC if it's related to the ending. Then im completely done with bioware. The fact that they've forced you to pay them to finish the entire series the way you want to is unacceptable to me.
