They'll probably just reveal something like the Omega DLC.

[QUOTE=Jackald;35442593]Because I meticulously argued how the plot holes made no sense, but Darth is hellbent on pointing out how the endings are perfectly fine as they are and make perfect sense because, as he put it,

I can understand why they won't talk about it, they probably want it to be a surprise as if you never even encountered RGB ending.
If that makes sense.

There is no way in hell they're going to to able to hold to that. People will probably be yelling about it and jeering like crazy during the panel.

Fuck, dude it's like those people who only know about Cthulhu from southpark
I just had someone argue with me that the Indoctrination Theory is still totally canon.
I explained that Bioware said they weren't changing the ending or adding gameplay segments, they're just adding more cutscenes and some epilogue stuff to explain what happened to people, and as such, having Shepard go on to defeat The Reapers via some other means after waking up from the last few segments seems kind of difficult to pull off, and it would probably piss people off if the actual ending fight was just a big cutscene.
His logic?
"Yeah but the Epilogue could just be everyone dying because Shepard was indoctrinated, and it has a scene where Tali is raped by a bunch of Husks while her hands and feet are impaled on Dragon's Teeth and eaten by Harvesters."
I was literally speechless.

He was completely serious, too.

What the fuck?
The extended cut is going to have two or three new scenes added in, and a shitty epilogue that someone wrote up in five minutes.
And Bioware will act surprised that people are still pissed off. This is like watching a slow motion car crash.

And, in the process, it will make the people complaining about the endings look like a bunch of entitled brats, because Bioware did something for us that somehow didn't meet our "unreasonable" expectations.

They are basically doing as little as possible to address the complaints that still allows them to pretend they listened.

Mind, this already did happened early on when the ending started becoming more known, and almost everyone who was supporting the ending and called everyone against it "entitled" eventually changed their tune, barring some incredibly stubborn people.
It's probably just gonna be that all over again, only people would catch on more quickly. Only site I don't see changing their tune at all would be IGN, thanks to their walking ingame endorsement.
No matter how much Bioware attempts to control the PR damage by trying to warp intentions, they're only going to make the situation more dire for themselves, if they just admitted that the ending was unpopular instead of constantly denying it, claiming "artistic vision" and patting themselves on the back for something so silly then half this shit wouldn't have happened in the first place.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35441496]Well, that's what we're hoping anyway.

I doubt it. I think people will simply stop buying Bioware products, and then EA will cannibalize them, as they did with WestWood and Bullfrog.
So am I the only one suffering withdrawal now that the series is gone?
[QUOTE=mac338;35446819]So am I the only one suffering withdrawal now that the series is gone?[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't if the ending was satisfying. I would just play through it again.

Yeah. According to Wikipedia, Bioware saw a 97% drop in sales after the first month regarding Mass Effect 3. They're taking such massive hits to sales, I wouldn't be surprised if their next game is a total flop and then EA shuts them down.

I already completed ME3 three times, two of them being complete playthroughs from ME1 or 3 in a row.

Playing Multiplayer like nuts, so not really.
I have low expectations for the new ending DLC.
Summer seems far away. This whole thing seems to be put into limbo indefinitely...

Can I have that Wiki source?
I wanna share it.
Honestly, they should have instituted the effects of choice into the gameplay, and not in some epilogue they're doing now.
Let's take the Death March, for instance:
[sp]So let's say Shepard gets up after getting hit by Harbinger and picks up a pistol with ~7 rounds in it. He will need about three rounds to defend himself (two husks and a marauder), one round if he wants to shoot the Illusive Man (otherwise you NEED to talk him down, or it's game-over) and three more rounds if you want to pick Destroy.
Now, up the stakes through *gameplay.* Let's say some husks are beating on whatever squadmates you chose to bring. You effectively have four rounds to spare, so let's say two husks per squaddie. You can save them or leave them behind and complete the mission. If Wrex is alive, he and a couple of krogan will charge the line and rescue Squadmate A. If the Geth are alive, some primes will drop in and rescue Squadmate B. If Jack and her students are alive, they can hit the husks that attack Shepard from a distance. Etc. etc.
This way, you need to *prioritize* shit. Are you going to let your squadmates die to save your ammunition for the Citadel, or are you going to risk Game Over to save them? If you made a perfect-run in the game and pretty much everyone is alive, then you don't need to fire a single shot. If you were ruthless, you gotta be ruthless here to survive. It's not a perfect scenario, but it's a lot goddamn better than "limp a hundred yards and then die."[/sp]
op. beachhead intro card thingy just came up for me in mp
wow another +25% xp so exciting

Alright, so I'm about to go into the final mission but my readiness is only 50% and I don't want to play MP to boost it. Are there any tools/apps that can boost my shit?
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35442583]I'm proud of the team as well. What they've done overall is a monumental achievement and a damn good trilogy. HOWEVER, I will not respect the notion that they view what they've done as "sacred." While that may not be the word they're using, it's the implication that they're giving.
Look, a big part of why fans are upset is because of how Bioware is presenting their defense. If they said something like:
"We understand why fans are upset with how we constructed the ending of the game, and many of the frustrations are valid. Please understand that we did work hard on the ending and we did not intentionally mislead you. We would like to take this opportunity to explain the ending of the game and why we're proud of it. Hopefully this will give you a deeper understanding of why we did what we did and we can build a more constructive dialogue as to how we can make the best of this situation for everyone."
Then most people would at least be happy that Bioware is treating them with respect as well as providing (hopefully) a justifiable sense of reasoning behind the bizzare decision. Instead, all we're getting is "We're proud of what we've done, and we're not going to do whatever the hell you want."[/QUOTE]
Hudson did intentionally mislead people, and he's quoted doing it for posterity in Sci Vs Fi and Game Informer.
[QUOTE=Heigou;35446880]Playing Multiplayer like nuts, so not really.[/QUOTE]I actually really like the multiplayer, I've been playing it quite a bit.
I think I would feel more bitter about purchasing ME3 had it not shipped with it.

it's the NPD. It's public knowledge and you can probably see it at VG chartz.
