[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;35444494]They're not making an entirely new ending, they're just extending the existing ones.[/QUOTE] Oh, maybe if they made a new ending people would fuck off. Extending it will most likely be just as bad as it was before.
[QUOTE=killover;35444443]Holy fuck guys what do you want from them? They give a you a new ending and you're all (most) still complaining?[/QUOTE]Yeah, because its the same shitty ending just with a little bit of extra crap stuck on. Read the thread.
Am I the only one who read "Extended Cut" and thought it was a rerelease or something?
I didn't really mind the ending but the 0 closure you get pissed me off.
I'm so fucking mad at bioware doing the thing I asked them to do two weeks ago.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;35444939]I'm so fucking mad at bioware doing the thing I asked them to do two weeks ago.[/QUOTE]As I recall, people asked for them to make a new ending that isn't shitty, not stick with the same shitty ending with a little extra crap stuck on.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35445058]As I recall, people asked for them to make a new ending that isn't shitty, not stick with the same shitty ending with a little extra crap stuck on.[/QUOTE] hey hey wait till it comes out to rag on it you cant say its crap till you actually see it
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;35445086]hey hey wait till it comes out to rag on it you cant say its crap till you actually see it[/QUOTE]I think we can based off of their statements. I'd say that is a fair course of action.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35445058]As I recall, people asked for them to make a new ending that isn't shitty, not stick with the same shitty ending with a little extra crap stuck on.[/QUOTE] lol shaddup you havent even seen it. [editline]5th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35445110]I think we can based off of their statements. I'd say that is a fair course of action.[/QUOTE] and id say a fair course of action would be to wait and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh see it before you complain about it
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;35445116]lol shaddup you havent even seen it.[/QUOTE]As I just said, I think we can judge based on their own statements about the ending. What did you base your assumption off of? So you can shut up.
i mean iirc the main complaint about the original ending was that there wasnt any difference between the endings and so logically adding additional content, even if it's just story information, would add a more meaningful difference between them but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe they have to throw a blowjob into the package too is what i guess youre saying?

they're not gonna change the ending anytime soon, i've already had a long chat about the ending in the other thread with some other dudes and pretty much unless they make some text-based ending screens they're not gonna satisfy everyone.
yeah I'm pretty sure that actually the player choices have tons of impact in the parts of the game that lead up to the ending like which characters die, etc but if the causes of the final endings were more obtuse and obscure then people would complain about that instead. The final ending of the original Deus Ex is the result of decisions you make in the last 5 minutes of the game which exist completely irrespective of decisions you made throughout the game leading up to it but that doesn't decrease the value of the decisions you made before it and no one ever complained about that (maybe because gamers were less entitled in the halcyon days of 2001)
but the original ending of Deus Ex was also thematically more sensible. mass Effect 3's ending is kind of a strange curve ball.

Will it have anything to do with the indoctrination theory?
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35445332]http://www.gamefront.com/mass-effect-3-ending-hatred-5-reasons-the-fans-are-right/[/QUOTE] also maybe they won't explain the endings "a little more" maybe they'll explain them "a lot more" and provide solid explanations for those inconsistencies in the process. maybe you should forgo your judgment until you actually have a chance to critically evaluate it in a meaningful way like a reasonable human being maybe you should just chill for a sec and stop acting like they owe you whatever it is that you're demanding from them and defer the fact that they are the people making the video game and are going to end up paying money out the ass in an attempt to fix your specific complaints (but apparently not in the exact way you asked them to so fuck them I guess?)

And followed the tone and themes of the story. lol no ur rigth entitled babby gamers lol
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;35445378]Or maybe it's because those endings made sense.

It feels a bit strange that we have to wait half a year to see the very end of a game.
lol you already saw the very end of the game. but everyone spoke out and now bioware has to work on something again.

I'd like to see them try.

[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;35441272]I think Microsoft allows one free DLC and/or update per game (this is the reason that Valve couldn't make Steam for the 360). As for EA, this helps to cull a PR nightmare for them. They just got The Consumerist's "Golden Poo" for being the worst company of the last year.[/QUOTE] This is not true, there's no limit as far as I know, I'm pretty sure it's just discouraged just like valve used to heavily discourage free content on steam (see garry's comments on how steam encouraged him to make gmod10 cost money). I had like 3 free downloads on guitar hero 3 from xbl.

[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35441105]That's cool, bioware doesn't care. It's a free update so they don't lose anything if you don't get it.[/QUOTE] I was more remarking at the situation and the PR disaster's irreconcilability than caring whether or not the ending came. It's just sad that they managed to disenfranchise so many fans from what could have been a fantastic universe with multiple games regarding the different races, but probably ruined that chance by wrecking faith in what was otherwise a great series in the making.
It don't matter how much they extend the ending. The fact they imply some old grandfather is telling his grandson perverted-homosexual-space war relationships for hours has forever haunt me.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35446243]oh look it's the hurr durr entitled argument, haven't heard that one before what about the blatant false advertising[/QUOTE] promising quality with regards to something subjective like a movie or an album or a cutscene in a video game and then failing to meet that quality isn't false advertising. when the day comes that people can regularly get away with suing the creators of artistic endeavors because they personally didn't enjoy it is the day that art is dead.
Still not going to buy it.
