ME3; Story Discussion New ending content announced pg37

Jesus, the part where you can kill Mordin is pretty harrowing. Too bad there's literally no reason to do it though other than to be as evil as possible. If Sabotaging the Genophage had some real consequence beyond changing the number of war points you get it could have been a really tough decision.

Marauder Shields...

Yup, the 'shaky cam' was so annoying. Even more daft is how you've just recruited the entire galaxy, and it's you and 2 squad mates taking Earth back

Urgh. Why are critics having such a hard time realising why people hate the ending? It's not as if there isn't plenty of blog articles, videos, image macros and opinion pieces out there. It's got nothing to do with how happy/not happy the endings are!

There's a check list with Tali. Apparently if you get enough decisions right in her favour, she lives, otherwise she dies, no matter what you did on her loyalty mission.

People seem to think you need to score at least 5 points to keep her alive out of these decisions below.

-Complete Tali's loyalty mission in ME2.

-Side with her against Legion in their argument in ME2.

-Destroy the Geth in ME2.

-Stop her from being exiled in ME2.

-Save Admiral Koris in ME3.

-Complete Geth Fighter side mission in ME3.

-Choose not to upload the code in ME3.

Some choices add up to 2 points while others only count for 1. It's all very complicated.

I lost her because I sided with Legion in their argument, got her exiled due to failing a reputation check at the time of her exile, rewriting the Geth and uploading the code.

I did do her loyalty mission, save Admiral Koris and do the Geth fighter side mission but it wasn't enough points on the tally. (No pun intended lol.)

Considering the earlier sections of the game have you choosing [ Person A Dies/Person B Dies ] [ Piss off Person A/Piss off Person B ] a few times (which most people enjoyed) the happy ending argument is completely invalid. Also that person needs to spellcheck his work before submitting it.

Are people still going on about this? I'm over it now. I mean, the way I look at it this is like a relationship ending. You can spend a lot of time and emotionally invest in someone; that doesn't mean it's the end of the world if you break up at the end. You still have all the good memories from the time you spent together. Besides, there's always the chance of making up later on (Mass Effect 4).

Mass Effect 3 is the end of this particular story, though.

Why would I want to buy another game when this one was supposed to conclude this particular story? :fp:

I'd have to be brain dead to invest another £30+

A good ending is obviously preffered, but having a bad one does not necessarly ruin a series. The Lord of the Rings had a terrible ending and it's still one of my favourite books.

It's better than having no ending at all, like Shenmue or The Longest Journey series.

I did them and she lived.

They'll have EA breathing down their necks.

You must have also done something else in the list I posted above.

I think I stopped her from getting exiled.

That list Zellery posted does show that Bioware did make it so past decisions do have an impact on certain events and there are other exams of side missions from ME1 coming to play in ME3. I think they did that sort of stuff well...for the side missions and stuff. It does still annoy me that they didn't take that principle to factor in how the war with the Reapers turns out.

It's been said a million times already but after spending all that time recruiting a huge ass army, it's disappointing it didn't come down to more of an all out war against the Reapers - factoring in the decisions and species that we'd recruited. All I expected Bioware to do was to take the Suicide Mission model and take it to the next level for ME3. If they'd done that then well i'm pretty certain people would be far more happy with how the game ended.

I wonder if one piece of the future DLC will have something to do with Omega (Seeing as Cerberus run it now - Only read the first issue of the comic that came with the game)

Would have loved to have Aria as a party member.

Completed this yesterday and there is nothing I need to say that hasn't already been said.

But the community videos and ideas have been hilarious and interesting in equal measure. The cupcake idea was such a nice dickslap to BioWare, although the real issue with the ending is the lack of causality from the game prior, the lack of a true epilogue and the worst mirage of choice in the entire game. Those three in that order.

The plot itself we'd have all bought if the above three had been in place. We'd have all gone "Oh, I was expecting something different from the ending" but our conversations would have been like those of Rannoch or Tuchunka where we discussed why my Earth mission was different to yours, what effect having the Salarians on side made, if it was better to have Jack's team on support instead of assault, if, if, if.

I'd bet money that one DLC will be "retake Omega"

I sided with Legion in uploading the code and she backed me up when I was telling the Migrant fleet to stand down. I think that was because I used the Paragon option to sort out the arguement between them in 2, so they were both loyal to me and had grown to trust each other more.

FREE "Extended Cut" DLC incoming
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012- ... tended-cut

BioWare has announced the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut, a free download for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that addresses the controversial ending of the game.

It provides "additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes" to the ending, and launches this summer.

The Extended Cut is designed to give players "seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes", BioWare said.

BioWare boss Ray Muzyka commented: "We are all incredibly proud of Mass Effect 3 and the work done by Casey Hudson and team.

"Since launch, we have had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are responding. With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team's artistic vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass Effect universe."

Executive producer Casey Hudson added: "We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player."
