Mass Effect 3 Ending (Spoilers Obviously)

[Iv000]

OMG it was so shoking to see the spoiler pic man, but thank god i did not buy the darn game, im gonna buy ys i think is gonna be more fun and it only cost 15 bucks, so yea no more bioware stuff after da2 and now this is better stay away from bioware.

You are missing the point.

The game itself is amazing. The locations, gameplay, dialogue, everything is great. Even the MP is great.

The only thing that bugs the fans is the ending and things like Tali's face etc.

 

Personally, I'm hoping for free DLC that continues the ending (The "It was all a hallucination" theory is possible, and makes sense) or remakes it.

That probably won't happen, so I'm ready to give a few more dollars for a better ending.

 

If no better ending DLC is made, then I will ignore Bioware for some time.

(It's not that I don't like the ending, it's more the thing that the ending isn't explained at all (And basically, the only choice you do is "Choose your favorite color"). What happened to my crew? Why did the Normandy try to escape? What happened to the fleets, are they all stranded in the Sol system? etc )

Yep, basically there are plotholes so big you could pilot a Deathstar through them.

If anyone is willing to pay for a DLC ending you are a plague on the gaming industry.

 

If it is not a free DLC I seriously hope no one buys it. If companies can get away with this you think they won't take every chance they can to milk you?

[Halororor]

All I take from that is that they're not changing the ending but expanding on it to address user concerns like plotholes, etc.

Oh boo hoo. Someone call 911 because

(Seriously though, who cares about what I and others buy. It's our money and our opinion. If I love a series, then I may as well pay a few extra bucks and be "milked" so I can see the ending the series deserves.)

we're still getting scammed LOL. i dont know if ill buy it ME3 will still be tainted to me

[HellsMaster]

A certain game company should look for advice at CDPR on how to give DLC's.

 

Also, I agree. Anyone who buys the DLC will be a mindless drone. IMO.

As co-founder and GM of BioWare, I’m very proud of the ME3 team; I personally believe Mass Effect 3 is the best work we’ve yet created. So, it’s incredibly painful to receive feedback from our core fans that the game’s endings were not up to their expectations. Our first instinct is to defend our work and point to the high ratings offered by critics – but out of respect to our fans, we need to accept the criticism and feedback with humility.

 

I believe passionately that games are an art form, and that the power of our medium flows from our audience, who are deeply involved in how the story unfolds, and who have the uncontested right to provide constructive criticism. At the same time, I also believe in and support the artistic choices made by the development team. The team and I have been thinking hard about how to best address the comments on ME3’s endings from players, while still maintaining the artistic integrity of the game.

 

Mass Effect 3 concludes a trilogy with so much player control and ownership of the story that it was hard for us to predict the range of emotions players would feel when they finished playing through it. The journey you undertake in Mass Effect provokes an intense range of highly personal emotions in the player; even so, the passionate reaction of some of our most loyal players to the current endings in Mass Effect 3 is something that has genuinely surprised us. This is an issue we care about deeply, and we will respond to it in a fair and timely way. We’re already working hard to do that.

 

To that end, since the game launched, the team has been poring over everything they can find about reactions to the game – industry press, forums, Facebook, and Twitter, just to name a few. The Mass Effect team, like other teams across the BioWare Label within EA, consists of passionate people who work hard for the love of creating experiences that excite and delight our fans. I’m honored to work with them because they have the courage and strength to respond to constructive feedback.

 

Building on their research, Exec Producer Casey Hudson and the team are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help answer the questions, providing more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey. You’ll hear more on this in April. We’re working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we’ve received. This is in addition to our existing plan to continue providing new Mass Effect content and new full games, so rest assured that your journey in the Mass Effect universe can, and will, continue.

 

The reaction to the release of Mass Effect 3 has been unprecedented. On one hand, some of our loyal fans are passionately expressing their displeasure about how their game concluded; we care about this feedback, and we’re planning to directly address it. However, most folks appear to agree that the game as a whole is exceptional, with more than 75 critics giving it a perfect review score and a review average in the mid-90s. Net, I’m proud of the team, but we can and must always strive to do better.

 

Some of the criticism that has been delivered in the heat of passion by our most ardent fans, even if founded on valid principles, such as seeking more clarity to questions or looking for more closure, for example – has unfortunately become destructive rather than constructive. We listen and will respond to constructive criticism, but much as we will not tolerate individual attacks on our team members, we will not support or respond to destructive commentary.

 

If you are a Mass Effect fan and have input for the team – we respect your opinion and want to hear it. We’re committed to address your constructive feedback as best we can. In return, I’d ask that you help us do that by supporting what I truly believe is the best game BioWare has yet crafted. I urge you to do your own research: play the game, finish it and tell us what you think. Tell your friends if you feel it’s a good game as a whole. Trust that we are doing our damndest, as always, to address your feedback. As artists, we care about our fans deeply and we appreciate your support.

 

Thank you for your feedback – we are listening.
