It would be amazing to see Shepard settle down with his LI. But that's closure, not clarity, so nope.

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35441380]I wasn't even responding to anything that is literally what you guys are like right now I mean jesus one of the major complaints was "We don't understand what's going on! The endings don't make sense! There's no closure!" and now they're saying they're fixing that WHAT DO YOU WANT MAKE UP YOUR MINDS GODDAMN[/QUOTE] They didn't say they're fixing it, they said they're explaining it. No one wants it to be explained because it's full of plot holes and goes against the themes of the series.
Oooooh, threads are starting to get END OF LINED on BSN. Shit just got real.
I'm just glad they're doing [I]something[/I], sure, it isn't what we wanted, but anything is better than the current ending.
[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;35441478]I'm just glad they're doing anything at all, sure, it isn't what we wanted, but anything is better than the current ending.[/QUOTE] Well, that's what we're hoping anyway. As has been said elsewhere, if this somehow goes [I]wrong[/I]...the resulting firestorm is going to make the past month look like a box of kittens.
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35441368]Question: Who made the game? How can they NOT be right?[/QUOTE] That is... completely wrong. Just because they made it doesn't mean it's not shit.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;35441442]They didn't say they're fixing it, they said they're explaining it. No one wants it to be explained because it's full of plot holes and goes against the themes of the series.[/QUOTE] Doesn't explanation generally plug plotholes? If correctly done
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35441368]Question: Who made the game? How can they NOT be right?[/QUOTE] [I]because it's a shit ending[/I] They're spouting all of this DevianTart "it's mah vision" bullshit when at the end of the day [I]they just plain fucked up.[/I] Say what you will about people who want the ending changed, we have [I]reasons[/I] why it doesn't work. We want it changed for a reason. They're just plugging their ears and talking about how proud they are of themselves for releasing such an artistic and controversial game, without bothering to address any of the complaints being raised by tens of thousands of people.

The endings don't make sense! There's no closure!" and now they're saying they're fixing that WHAT DO YOU WANT MAKE UP YOUR MINDS GODDAMN[/QUOTE] You obviously have no idea why people were upset about the ending in the first place. No one wants clarification for an ending that was terrible. The problem wasn't just that it was vague. It was completely unfitting, forced, and contradictory to everything Mass Effect is about.
[quote]BioWare will expanding on the ending to Mass Effect 3 by creating additional cinematics and [b]epilogue scenes[/b] to the existing ending sequences.[/quote] Are the current endings awful? Yes. But at least this means I can finish up ME3 one last time, find out what happened to my friends, my squad and my allies, and then never pick up another "Mass" title ever again.
[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;35441508]That is... completely wrong. Just because they made it doesn't mean it's not shit.[/QUOTE] Whatever they say to be right is right, it's their fucking universe, they MADE it.
I just want some sort of epilogue showing what happens to all the races, maybe show them rebuilding and stuff, I don't know. I'm really expecting much from Bioware now. [quote=Darth_GW7]Whatever they say to be right is right, it's their fucking universe, they MADE it. [/quote] It's their universe, hence whatever they say happened is [I]canon[/I], still doesn't mean it isn't terrible.

There's no closure!" and now they're saying they're fixing that WHAT DO YOU WANT MAKE UP YOUR MINDS GODDAMN[/QUOTE] The more people thought about the endings, the more they realized that "clarification" would just clarify how bad the endings. It's like asking for the manager because your steak is still frozen in places, and he comes over, measures it temperature, and says, "Yep, sure is!"
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35441527]Whatever they say to be right is right, it's their fucking universe, they MADE it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, which is why it's so amazing that they managed to completely contradict a lot of things they made up themselves. They made an ending that makes absolutely no sense in the context of their OWN UNIVERSE THAT THEY MADE UP. How does one fuck up that badly?

As has been said elsewhere, if this somehow goes [I]wrong[/I]...the resulting firestorm is going to make the past month look like a box of kittens.[/QUOTE] They REALLY need to look at what the community is saying. It's been a month of some of the angriest nerd rage I've ever seen. And a month on the internet is a long fucking time. I don't think Bioware quite understands the position they're in, or the fact that the Indoctrination Theory has given tem a second chance. If they fuck up it'll be one of the biggest outcries on the internet, which while impressive on it's own is not a reputation you want.
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35441527]Whatever they say to be right is right, it's their fucking universe, they MADE it.[/QUOTE] Are you entirely sure what it is you're talking about right now . . .?
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35441527]Whatever they say to be right is right, it's their fucking universe, they MADE it.[/QUOTE] Bullshit. Pure bullshit. When you build a universe, as Bioware did, you create a set of rules in order to ensure logical narrative cohesion. This is why the massive Codex goes into so much detail about the rules of the Mass Effect universe relative to our own, and why everything works in a justifiable, scientific manner. Breaking, changing or adding one of these rules is extremely difficult to pull off but no matter what, it HAS to be explained in a way that fits the existing logic of the universe. If this is not done, then you just created a gigantic plot hole and destroyed part of the integrity of your universe. This is EXACTLY what Bioware did with the ending.

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35441527]Whatever they say to be right is right, it's their fucking universe, they MADE it.[/QUOTE] They can write what they want. Doesn't make it good.

It's not totally solid, but it really is the biggest "Here's a free pass to redeem yourselves" that I've seen in a while.

Edit: Also "ARTISTIC INTEGRITY" and "ARTISTIC VISION"
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;35441613]But BioWare won't use it. They are too full of themselves.[/QUOTE] You don't know that, it could go both ways.

[QUOTE=Greeneyes;35441578]They can write what they want. Doesn't make it good.[/QUOTE] "good" is 100% subjective, point being whatever they say will be right/canon, whatever the fuck you want to call it, you're just gonna have to deal with it
