Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut ~ It's Official :O

[Flight]

I knew that, at most, they would only "expand" and "clarify" the endings. It's nice that it's free, but it won't change the fact that the endings are terrible and they haven't been handling the fallout well at all.

 

[Tono Makt]

It was always intended to be free, so no surprise here.

This'll be fun to show to all the haters and DLC-doomsayers, though.

Aye. But if the DLC is still free, then the haters and doomsayers will have a heck of a lot less to be upset about.

I hope this "new ending" ends up good. All of this crap over ME3 made me interested enough in the series to try the original. I will admit, I overlooked the series when it first came out, thinking in my naivety that it was something geared more towards people who grew up on things like Star Trek. Boy, was I wrong.

I tried it at a friends house, since he still has a copy kicking around since he refuses to part with it (for a reason I can see now), and I bought my own copy for PC as soon as I got home, because it was awesome.
I can see why everyone loves Bioware now, because I was strangely compelled by all of the characters, even by my standards. I garnered searing hatred for Saren, I went everywhere (EVERYWHERE) with Garrus and Tali, and I was still interested by all the other characters; even the ones I didn't talk to as much, and didn't take with me on missions.

My first character was a Cyrillic looking male Shepard, ruthless background, one part renegade, one part paragon, one part professional, and one part ruthless, that, as I mentioned before, always had Garrus and Tali as my squad, and romanced Liara.

After beating the game once (I'm quite excited to get ME2 & 3, now!), I made another character. A Germanic looking female Shepard, sole survivor background, two parts paragon, one part professional, one part naive. I still really love Garrus as a character, so I still kept Garrus with me, but chose Kaiden as my supporting teammate. Planning to have this character romance Garrus.

I don't know what to expect to be honest. Whether we will get jaw-dropping cinematics, a different set for each depending on what choices we made in the game?

Or maybe it will be something like this... :S

They won't change the ending. They will probably only add a few cutscenes in an attempt to mend the plotholes. They will keep the shitty endings, but explain more about the substance of the shit instead of changing it.

And even if it does manage to fill those plotholes, the current ending will be remembered.

Even with that being said, I will check it out......cause I'm a sucker.

captcha; they ate it.......the cupcakes?

Personally I think they should bring in my ending idea, where Shepherd turns to camera at the end, breaks into song, and all the characters, living or dead, dance onto stage left and right in an over the top musical number, then the curtains just close and credits.

(I've not played Mass Effect, sorry if I unwittingly guessed the ending and have spoilered everything!)

I do hope these calibrations work out alright.
A stupid ending for a bad game is one thing, but when the game is a masterpiece like Mass Effect it really bothers me...

 

[The Lunatic]

The issue is still that the ending is really awful, has an almost complete disconnection with the rest of the series, explains nothing, seems horribly contrived and even ending with an advertisement for DLC.

Can't help but expect better.

For those who enjoyed the ending, good for them. Wish I did too. But I am one of those souls who was so bitterly disappointed by the plothole riddled ending to even imagine playing Mass Effect again. I really hope the DLC is good, but I dont think I'll bother playing it, just watch the endings on You Tube. After all, I will never get to expirience the ending for the first tine again.
