Yeah - didn't quite know what to think of the ending. Not how I imagined one of my favorite series ending.

This trilogy of games is damn good. In the end though, the journey was far more rewarding than the destination.
Bioware's story, and how it twists and turns depending on the choices you make was awesome. I still havent seen all the variations for what happens when you make some choices differently. If the repercussions of your actions affected the end, as much as they affected the journey getting there, this series wouldve hit legendary status. As it stands, its still a helluva trilogy in regard to gameplay but sadly I have to file the final ten minutes behind the mental block that contains things like Rocky 5 and X-MEN Origins:Wolverine. I just pretend they never happened, and the pain just goes away. Quite amazing, actually.

I just stop the game when Anderson dies and Shepard passes out. Seems like a perfect end point. Shepard saves the earth and the galaxy, no Catalyst weirdness.
Either way, even with the wacky end, it's just an amazing journey. I think it's still going to end up being my favorite game trilogy of all time, even though they didn't stick the landing. |

I didn't realize this until late last night, but if any of you are looking to start the multiplayer, this is the weekend to do it. There's a 25% xp bonus through 7am Monday.

So basically they're adding a denouement to the end.

It pretty much kills the indoctrination theory, sounds like. We'll see what it is. I think it's a good move. Hard to criticize free dlc.

What a load of shit. Im glad I did not purchase ME3, and the other two are going into Gamestop for whatever pittance they will offer for them. Bioware will never see another dime of my money. Dragon Age 2 stung, but I thought it was an abberation. It was clearly the start of a trend. Have fun collaborating with EA to utterly destroy your most popular franchises fellas. This is not how its done.
When you advertise wildly different endings, and not getting an A, B, or C style of ending and you fail that in every way, it is your obligation to fix your mistake, not hide your shoddy, plothole ridden work behind artistic integrity. Artistic integrity my ass. Had they done what they said, this couldve been ONE of the endings. Probably the bad one, and then Casey Hudson couldve released a crappy youtube video about how in his mind, this shitty ending is canon for the end of the Shepard trilogy. We would all laugh at his dumbassery, but ultimately nobody would care because the rest of the endings wouldve been there for us to choose. All this is, is Hudson forcing HIS choice on us at the end and excluding any alternatives. Nothing more. Everything you worked for over the course of three games, ALL NEGATED. Wow. What an epic fail. As far as videogame fails are concerned, this one might even surpass E.T. for the Atari.

Anyone else play through the extended cut DLC yet? Covered some of the plot holes that existed in the original ending, although it didn't change them entirely. They also introduced a new choice for the ending, although it's pretty obviously the worst.
I wasn't an enormous fan of the original endings, although I didn't hate them as much as most people seemed to. I think that if the extended cut DLC had been the original, people wouldn't have complained nearly as much. On a side note, are any of you still playing the multiplayer? I've actually invested quite a bit of time into it over the last several weeks, and I find that it's got better replay value than you'd expect. It's fun to try out new character builds, and I've enjoyed the free DLC they've put out to expand it. Rumor is, there's another one in the works that focuses on Earth. |
