ME3 - DLC

[Sexy Devil]

That was one part of the game series that really annoyed me. The entire explanation for the motive of the bad-guys was "Just because."

or pretty much

"why not?"

It was the Midichlorians situation. They spent so long building it up as something we can't comprehend and that is just is. Then they try to explain it for some dumb reason and it falls flat on its face. Seriously, when you spend three games saying "We are beyond your comprehension" no explanation is going to be good enough.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Ah, it almost had me, but then I saw the subtitles.

Why would the subtitles make a difference?

I hope this is real. Means we can finally get a proper ending.

 

[Dreadman75]

Nonsense. We already have the story boards for the DLC, and that's not how it goes.

...Good lord those are awesome! Where did you find them? They are very well done.

If that's not an excellent way to go about a DLC for ME3 I don't know what is!

I've no idea who's doing them. Someone in the Retake ME3 community, when they're not sabotaging charities or setting the medium back by decades like the monsters they are.

Lots more of them, too.

lol drama Liara.

I choose to believe this person. For no other reason than it sounds the most likely thing.

Confirmed fake, it's a photoshop done in the Liara thread in the BSN character forums.

That GIF is so fucking awesome.

 

[Zhukov]

lol drama Liara.

That made me laugh,

I can't un-see it, as the saying goes.

Shepherd: I had a nightmare, it was incredibly unsatisfying, as though a hack writer abruptly wrote an end to my saga.

Liara: By the Goddess Shepard! Are you Alright?

Shepard: What happened?

Tali: You where hit by Harbingers weapon. Keelah, your lucky to be alive.

Shepard: I had the strangest nightmare. Everyone was killed on the way to the beam, then a guy called Marauder Shields tried to kill me, then I met Anderson and TIM in the Citadel, then the crucible didn't work, then Casper the Friendly Ghost told me he built Reapers so that he could kill organics with synthetics before organics could build synthetics that would kill them, then the Relays and the Citadel blew up then I woke up here.

Tali: Shepard....None of that makes any sense.

Shepard: I know.

I'm commander Waaghpowa, and this is my favourite quote on the escapist

That's the link to the rest of the Marauder Shields series. A pretty good read despite whatever you might think about the ending.

I could care less if this is real or not.I'm expecting DLC,don't care what it is...

 

[Seanfall]

I really hope this is real. But realize it probably isn't.

mmm...
After replaying Mass Effect 3 the only thing I can think of is that the company and writers that made the rest of the game, and paid so much attention to detail, is at least smart enough not to make mistakes that big in the last 5 minutes.

Something just didn't feel right in the ending. My guess is that Bioware has something up their sleeves.

Fingers crossed.

Well it's pretty easy to screw up the last 5 minutes of your game when your game's director decides to go on a cocaine-fueled bender and absolutely butcher the ending of the game by chopping out 80% of the pertinent information that your writers wanted to include all because a legless stripper refused to give him a lapdance because he wasn't wearing any pants at the time.

It is, but it's much harder for everyone in the team to not call them out on their bullshit before they go through beta testing and shipping.

The ending is too full of holes for nobody on Bioware to not say anything. Something's up, I can feel it.

Don't get your hopes up. There's a reason most people stay silent, and it's way simpler. They don't want to risk their jobs. It's pretty much the exact same thing in the movie industry - there are so few cases of people calling movies they've worked on crap (or otherwise tarnishing it or people related), that you could probably count the amount of them on your fingers.

Basically, if you talk shit about someone, they're not going to want to work with you. And along with the sad reality that this is the status quo in most development studios, you either stay shut, or greatly diminish your chances of having a successful career in gaming.

Edit: Oh, and that thing is so easy to fake that you might as well consider it that way on its face.

Now that I got over the general contempt for the ending I just find it hard to believe that Bioware went from 0 to 11 on the retard scale in just 5 minutes.

if bioware uses those exact lines in the dlc, i will forgive everything

bioware can't do nothing forever, something's afoot. i don't know what, when or how. but all my friends agree, something is brewing deep in the bowels of bioware...

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I, for one, think Bioware are just waiting for all this to blow over. They have the support of most of the review sites so all they have to do is bunker down until the fans get shut up by other forum users sick of hearing about their complaints.

I'll be pretty surprised if they do anything at all.

that would be the smart thing to do from a Business perspective.

I just hope that consumers alike remember that Bioware has lied to them, and called them whiny idiots.

And I will do my best to remind people in every other thread, without coming off as offensive, hopefully I wont bother people too much about it like some other more zeelous people have done.

 

[BloatedGuppy]

That would be an enormously stupid thing to do from a business perspective. Mass Effect is still a franchise. They expected to make more ME games, sell ME merchandise and DLC, maybe a MMO, etc, etc, etc.

If you accidentally poison your IP with a stupid creative decision, the smart money isn't in sitting on it and letting it die. It they think there's ANYTHING they can do to stem the tide of malcontent, they most certainly will. They just need to tread carefully in terms of HOW they do it.

 

[Grivahri]

I don't really care about another mass effect 3 game after this conclusion.

They already said that there would be an announcement in April, so we just have to wait until then.

I heard a friend saying that the DLC is about rebuilding the relays and helping aria. Sounds really stupid.

in the short term, its been a financial success, in the long term we have no clue.

you are putting all chips into having the faith that people will remember this whole shitstorm by the time Bioware pushes out another product.

I have my doubts that most people will remember or even give half a fuck about what happened regarding ME3.

I am surely going to make my best effort to remember myself and If I can remind others, hopefully I wont come off as raving madman as otherzzzz have been
