Interview that answers a lot of questions. (With a Healthy dose of BS)
Interview that answers a lot of questions. (With a Healthy dose of BS)
"I don't want to be on the Internet next week."
So picking up my 360 this weekend so I can drown myself in Halo Reach and Fable 3 and maybe even some League Of Legends if the servers are fixed.
Because next week is going to be such bullshit.

Personally, I don't care if they don't change the Endings, I would just like to know how everything happened, and what happened after that.
Also, why wait a week before release to announce the date? They could have used this for a new selling point if they actually advertised it...

If they can't please fans with this, it will be their own undoing. If the extended cut provides what they promised fans (not ages before release, but what they said when they KNEW the game was final and being printed) then you can't ask much more then that.
The fact the statements they made were so far off what fans got, well, thats why they were mostly angry, IMHO and fair enough, so they shoudl be.

So, in the video that Papershadow linked, they say that you have to have a save that takes place before a certain part of the game. Looks like I'm starting over...
Weren't they still in story meetings a month ago.
Whatever. The damage is done. It's a comedy of errors at this point. Seriously, what genius decides to drop this in a week filled with several notable releases (Spider-Man, Spec Ops, Dawnguard, Jet Set Radio reboot)?

As a member of the ending-hating fanbase, I'm happy to know this is coming out, cautiously optimistic about the whole thing.
I'm also going to LOVE seeing the flames. It's going to be a fun day indeed.

Cannot say that I am the least bit excited about this. They gave us a half assed ending and I'm pretty much expecting the same quality from this extended cut. I feel like this will just be similar to sprinkling glitter on a turd.
But to be fair, I suppose I should wait and see before judging.

Ill download it for the hell of it but after the shit show that was ME3 i have sworn off ever buying another EA product "Even dead space". They said they were listing to fans but clearly they didnt since what most fans wanted was everything after elusive mans base scraped. I really wish EA would just fucking die but i know that will never happen with madden and fifa keeping them alive.
That's great, Bioware. Now how about you bring the Datapad to Android devices, so I don't have to play your broken ass co-op in order to get the best ending, hmm?
Dumb question: can I just boot up a game I finished to see this, or do I have to replay from a specific point in the game?
About two minutes into that interview it's pretty clear they still either A)Have no clue why so many people hated the ending (plot holes, deus ex machina, choices don't matter, etc.), or B)They still don't give a shit and "Fuck y'all" who don't like.
I had to stop halfway thru, as listening to Jessica Merizan kiss their asses while they pat each other on the back was just too much.

I don't know why bioware thought it was a good idea to finish off a trilogy on a giant cliffhanger.
Mass Relays destroyed but solar systems still intact?
Everyone in the Sol system during the final battle is now stuck in the Sol system?
Took Liara and Javik with me into the final fight, get hit by Harbinger, Javik is on the Normandy with Joker and Garrus, wtf? So is Liara dead?
And having Casey Hudson lie during interviews didn't help any.
What I did enjoy about the whole fiasco though were the ME3 price drops, snagged a copy for $25 new. Also game publications(ign) running to ME3's rescue and carelessly calling all the angry customers entitled, whiners, spoiled, crybabies, etc.
What a fucking show that was in the comment section.

Well, I guess I'll take a break from the internet as well. Got plenty of games to play for the week, and I may just go outside for once.
But seriously the whole reason for the Reapers, and the reveal of the God-child at the end was laughable.
I could have come up with a better damn reason when I was fucking 10.
Shit.
Damn.
Fuck...really bioware? Fucking really?

Tiny bit spoilery!
As someone who liked the ending, I'm very interested to see whether or not this supports the indoctrination theory. On the other had though, this is going to launch another hundred articles across the internet about the ending, and that's something no one wants.

And on the 26th sun of six, JIMMIES shall be RUSSLED across the internet. Across the bioware social network and across /v/, across IGN's comment sections and across Game FAQ's forums, the fans shall be russled.

And IGN shall come to Bioware/EA's rescue.

There was more things I took issue with in this game than just the ending. Character interactions, in some cases lack there of, and how the romances worked. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of fun things about the game and I loved the jokes, but they had so much stuff that they simply decided to downsize portions of the game and make certain things non important. It was just a let down when all was said and done.
It's rather amazing how mad people can get over the end of a video game. First world problems and all that...
If the disc doesn't literally have an extended cut across the disc then I'm filling a complaint with the BBB.
They should have never done this. They should have just moved on and let everyone forget about it. What they are going to do is piss off the people who liked the ending, piss off the people who didn't like the ending even more with a stupider, more clusterfuck ending than the original.
holy shit after finishing the game last month, i can't wait for this :D
but yeah i'll be out on the net so i could finish this withut any spoilers :P

hmm.. Almost a full month before they said it'd be out.
Welp, guess we'll see how this goes... I'm expecting the apocalypse.

Even if EA/Bioware grafted the ending of Portal 2 to the Extended Cut Mass Effect 3 will still probably suck.
God, I so want this to be just 2 extra scenes added to that black and white montage, but at 1.9 gigs just to piss people off more.
So several months worth of interest on our $60 for an unfinished game too right?
Oh? No? Thats funny, I cant help but think if the roles were reversed (I provide a service for EA that they dont feel was worth thier cash) they would come after me to the fullest extent.

NO I'D ALMOST GOTTEN OVER THIS. Ugh. Well, maybe it'll fix the terrible ending. Oh wait, expanded? So we're keeping the completely out of tone, mind-fuck of an ending? *Pterodactyl noise*
If you add something on top of an original base with holes in it, aren't you risking collapse? Seems like it would be a better idea to just -plug up the holes instead-.
It's shitstorm 2.0! I don't know about you, but I'll have my popcorn warm and ready.
This is not a BioWare problem, that would imply BioWare exists as the entity it was prior to EA hollowing it out like a pumpkin and cramming it's mighty hand up BioWare's ass like a pumpkin puppet (it's late).
This is all part of EA's cycle of developer cannibalism. You can't fix it, you can't change it, and expanding upon it is tantamount to asking for a second helping of head trauma. I don't know what looks worse from my end; that EA is trying to get people's hopes up again, or people actually allowing EA to get their hopes up again.

:SPOILERS BE HERE!:
Problem wasn't that the ending was "sad", it was that the last fifteen minutes were as filled with nonsensical video edits, characters being places that were physically impossible to reach, and plot holes of Phantom Menace proportions.
I jumped through so many hoops to have the Geth and Quarians work together, and they are fighting tooth and nail for the chance to live on the same rock together literally -right outside that little Deus ex Machina's window-, and he/the writers still give us the same "Yo dawg, I hear you don't wanna get killed by synthetics, so I made some synthetics to kill you every 50,00 years so you don't get killed by synthetics" bullcrap.
That's why we're a little pissy about the ending.
