Mass Effect 3

[Overdriven]

...

Well if the writers are saying we don't have all the facts yet (in terms of people that dislike the ending...aka 15000 people at least simply on the forums poll), then it all just doesn't fit right. The community manager also has said it's a hallucination on twitter. And she'll have been bloody briefed on this already.

Tbh releasing some DLC, which MANY people have already said they'd be willing to pay out their arse for would extend the cash cow even further. It's one of the most successful video game franchises ever made. Do you really think they would just stop? Sure they said it would be a trilogy...but that doesn't mean fuck all when it comes to games. Besides I wouldn't at all be surprised if they witheld the ending simply to screw over people who pirated the game ect. Particularly as the ME script has been leaked several times in the past.

Regardless this view has gotten a ton of discussion. 50 pages in less than 12 hours:

It is clutching at straws...but I'd rather hold out for a better ending than the one they gave us. They leave Shepard breathing in the bloody rubble for god's sake!

Hardest. Day. Ever. Seriously, if you people knew all the stuff we are planning...you'd, we'll - hold onto your copy of me3 forever.

That was tweeted from the producer of Mass Effect franchise on the EU release day (after NA had already been complaining about the endings for a while).

Don't understand why they didn't end it here. Very emotional scene is ruined with the god kid scene. They could have ended with him setting off the crucibal and dying and it would still have been 100x better. Then whether organics succeed or not after the crucibal does it's thing would be down to your readiness rating/other choices. With some final cinematics and a bit of script it would have finished it nicely:

Problem is not just with Mass Effect 3, but with every game EA vomits lately. Dragon Age 2 was in my opinion horrible at best, story dull and you spent the entire game going through the same zones (be it the city or some "random" cave that looked just like the previous one).
SWTOR was a disaster and was pushed out by EA way way WAY too early to catch Christmas sales. The amount of gamebreaking bugs that game had at release (and even more than 2 months after release) is saddening. The game needed atleast 6 more months of work.

I don't know how much is Bioware's fault and how much EA's, but one thing is sure:
EA is just one big greed machine and they are not even trying to cover that image up anymore. I just hope more people slap them in the face and pirate their games.

Just finished it. The end was not good at all. Would be nice to see some more of what happened. The game was still a very nice experience considering I've never played Mass Effect before

He is also quoted to saying that Bioware would not do a "Lost" ending where you're left with more questions than answers so right off the bat he's full of shit.

When he speaks to that little boy in the end "It's getting late but okay, one more story"

This game sounds like a big deal.

You become "gods of rpgs" by releasing a game with a completely shit ending and make everyone pay for the "real" ending months later?

[Overdriven]

Depends how they do it. I'll bet they do pay, seeing as they must know a lot of people would be willing to. But there are also suggestions that they kept the ending back till the game has been fully released (doesn't release in Asia till 15th), partly due to the fact the storyline was previously leaked (several times) and it'll be a free dl. Particularly as all the devs/writers are insisting they can't say anything until it's reached full release.
