And I bet not even what we did at the "end" will have any influence on what happenes in that DLC
[QUOTE=Gripen2;35234517]So they wont change the ending, only continue it.[/QUOTE] yup.. which is basically what they were planning on doing from the start with the whole "continue Shepards story with downloadable content" showing up after you beat the game.. i don't see why anyone thinks anything has changed, that Bioware co-founders post was just PR/damage control.
It's freaking incredible how they can screw up so badly.
Haven't played the game, but can someone tell me how the ending is so bad?
Anyone wanna coop on multiplayer? My Origin name is Eskillz. I had a real blast with my turian sentinel last game. [thumb]http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd488/Eskilll/daim.jpg[/thumb]
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;35234729]Haven't played the game, but can someone tell me how the ending is so bad?[/QUOTE] Read a random page out of the last 200 and you'll get the gist of it.
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;35234729]Haven't played the game, but can someone tell me how the ending is so bad?[/QUOTE] Go watch it on youtube.
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;35234729]Haven't played the game, but can someone tell me how the ending is so bad?[/QUOTE] The choices you made throughout the trilogy don't matter The endings are all the same, just coloured differently They don't make sense They are vague as shit They don't provide closure And more minor stuff
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;35234729]Haven't played the game, but can someone tell me how the ending is so bad?[/QUOTE] I'll give the gist of it. [sp]The ending, despite giving you a choice of 2/3 endings, is a MacGuffin and Deus Ex Machina at the same time, ignoring most to all the choices you've made, and ruining the Mass Effect universe at a cultural level due to everything unique to Mass Effect being evil, dead or destroyed. It also comes out of nowhere, with no explanation other than "Because I said so", and the final choice between the 2/3 itself means nothing because all the endings are essentially the same, aside from color.[/sp] No one was expecting a rosy-red ending, but nobody expected everything you ever fought for to mean nothing and ruin everything at the end.
So, do I just tell EA Support that even though I completed the challenge [I]several[/I] times I've yet to receive my reward? I always have the issue of tech support just completely ignoring me and treating me like I'm retarded.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;35233817]No actually, I paid full attention, this is still the same character that a few moments ago tells you he Can BARELY STAND UP OR SITDOWN. But you're telling me he somehow musters up enough to fight a trained cybernetic Cerberus Assassin?[/QUOTE] well he was trying to save the salarian ambassador and maybe had a drell adrenalin rush thing [editline]21st March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Gripen2;35234517]So they wont change the ending, only continue it.[/QUOTE] cool i want to be able to control the reapers, maybe against the rachni? reapers vs rachni maybe they will make up for that ending!
Ugh, these servers are so unstable, kicking me out of games, unable to purchase packs, it's getting more common and it's pissing me off.

I'm just glad they're doing something about the ending at all.
Indoctrination theorists are almost as bad as truthers. I can't believe they can say, "You just don't want to believe it because that would mean Bioware fooled you." with a straight face.
Anyone else not getting their hopes up for the extended ending content? It could fill in all the plot holes nicely, and in my perfect world, it would be free. Or they could end up charging us for exactly what we expected to be there in the first place. We should tweet them asking "do you intend to charge for the new ending content?" If they ignore us, we will know shit's up. If the respond with a straight "yes" we should thank them for being honest. Honesty is a rare thing from companies these days.

I only found that after the operation goliath event.
I'm not saying I'm right, or you being wrong, but [video=youtube;ythY_GkEBck]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythY_GkEBck&feature=youtu.be"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythY_GkEBck[/video] Inderesting... Also I can't edit Coalesced.bin to get more war assets, it just doesn't seem to work. I tried to get Wrex to 5000 StartingStrength and it didn't work out :( [editline]21st March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Mingebox;35235864]Indoctrination theorists are almost as bad as truthers.

But bioware being lazy as shit is also a valid theory. We'll see the coming months, won't we?
What do you get if you got a ME1 save and the changes and what's included? SPOILERS please.
I expected a renegade interrupt during Garrus's citadel bro scene to push him in. Or at least the option to jump in.
Goddamn the controls annoy me sometimes. I'm trying to flee in a direction parallel to the cover I'm suddenly magnetized to. Eventually my character decides to jump over the cover right into the enemies that are about to swarm me. And it doesn't stop there, he continues to sprint toward the enemies because running makes you go in the direction your character is face, and not the direction your mouse is facing.

Before we get started download [url=http://blog.gib.me/2012/02/16/mass-effect-3-coalesced-bin-tool/]this[/url] and [url=http://benchmark3d.com/mass-effect-3-save-game-editor]this.[/url] 1. Unpack it and drag everything from the bin and saveedit folders into Mass Effect 3/Binaries/Win32. 2. Go to Mass effect 3/BIOgame/CookedPCConsole and locate "Coalesced.bin" 3. Drag "Coalesced.bin" onto "Gibbed.MassEffect3.Coalesce.exe". You'll see a CMD window for a splitsecond. 4. This will have created a "Coalesced" folder inside you CookedPCConsole folder. 5. Locate "09_bioui.json" and open it (preferable with Notepad++) 6. From line 1350 onward you'll see a metric fuckload of warassets. 7. Pen down the assets you want to change (you'll need the ID provided at the very start of the line). 8. Now open the "Gibbed.MassEffect3.SaveEdit.exe" and load the save in which you want to edit the War assets. (located in Documents/BioWare/Mass Effect 3/Save/[your character] 9. Under "[B]3.Squad[/B] -> Player" you'll find "GAWAssets". Open it with the tripledot button. 10. You'll see a huge list of numbers. Search for the numbers you penned down at 7. and change the "Strength" to whatever you want. 11. Once you're done, save it and enjoy your extra Warassets.
[QUOTE=Cone;35234142]M4 Part II was tons more memorable, though. I don't really hum the credits theme the same way I do M4.[/QUOTE] you know what would have been good if there was a more happy ending-ish m4 part 1, it just seems quite tranquill, like something big has ended [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B0wxjnmwOg[/media]
i read somewhere that [sp]jack was a cerberus sleeper agent???[/sp] if so, how come it never came up in my playthrough
