"Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut will be free, coming this summer"

Oh boy, I sure am excited for ten Powerpoint epilogue slides and for the so much needed explanation of that so incredibly deep and thoughtful ending. I'm glad that Bioware's artistic integrity remains uncompromised.

All anyone should have to say on the matter... however, I'll elaborate a bit.

Mass Effect was built up as an epic story, where choices were carried over not only between parts of the games, but through the games themselves. To end the game with what essentially amounts to 6 cookie cutter builds, with 3 different colors representing the choices, is unacceptable.

Not even touching the topic of Day-One DLC and the other bullshit EA has been pulling.
But you're right, I'm just a hater.

steam need to make HL3 free when it out...:D

I don't think the haters need to "suck it", their hate was justified 3 times over. The only reason they did anything about iw was because people were going to baw about it until they eventually take action.

Free until 2014.

The DLC will be dedicated to that silent hero called Marauder Shields. Let his sacrifice never be forgoten

Inb4 a set of screenshots "explaining" what happened.

They were not listening to the fans. Fans didnt want this end. Making DLC with extended content to the same end, which most fans hate, isnt listening to the fans, it is listening to the PR.

Well, I personally hope they actually aimed for, or are now aiming to incorporate the Indoctrination Theory of ME3's ending. Because, simply put, that theory actually holds too much water, and is too well supported by actual games series canon, to be ignored. The foliage next to the conduit that wasn't there, the odd behavior of the child, the foreshadowing of indoctrination effects throughout the whole series, the simple fact that the maximum threshold for EMS supports that the destroy/shep lives ending is best...

And I really, really have trouble believing that the ME2/3 writing staff, after doing such great jobs with the last two games, could have bungled the ending so badly without expecting the backlash they did.

But if they don't actually address core problems with the ending, if the whole BS with the Catalyst isn't fixed, then no matter what they do, even if they expand or explain what happened, then they'll fail. You can paint gold on a turd, but it'll still be a turd.
