ppl has been saying that bringing javik into thessia triggers many unique dialogue.

can we talk about something else other than how bad the ending now?
i thought the scene that lead to the ending was brilliant. starting from the moment when Harbinger sudden descent, n everyone desperately rush to the beam. i was like holysh!t!!  .then the music as u walk to the "space magic color" was totally complement how i feel at that scene, mindfucuk.  definitely not something i was expecting. oh yeah, now reading all the comments regarding the ending. i'm starting to feel depressed.  i hope there's an epilogue dlc or something. i dun care if it cost money at this point, no matter how wrong i feel if they do this. |

QUOTE(radkliler @ Mar 14 2012, 09:11 PM) So yeah, Harbinger. i heard there'll be a dlc for that...We have him taunting our asses throughout Mass Effect 2, and all he did during ME3 was shoot at us with lasers, for the final 2 minutes of gameplay, WITHOUT A SINGLE F*CKING LINE OF DIALOGUE UTTERED. F*cking Blunder of the Year game. Thanks for ruining Mass Effect Bioware! Up yours.  yes i'm serious... man...i really need that epilogue dlc... i can accept this ending, but i must know how the society accept/deal with those mass relays gone!!!!!  (getting pissed off here) |

^you can, but you'll miss all the things that the game all the more dramatic.
you said the ending make u sad, there's plenty of that in the middle of ME3. i really suggest ppl who want to get into ME to start with the first one. the story in ME1 is vastly superior, especially the final arc set pieces. This post has been edited by ray148: Mar 17 2012, 12:17 AM |

QUOTE(prasys @ Mar 17 2012, 12:41 AM) I just finished ME3. The ending is not that bad (its not worst/sucky) ending. i'm also one of those who don't mind it either, but can i understand why fans would be upset.-the ending pretty much comes out of nowhere. kinda like Evangelion ending, but at least gainax is learning (evidence with the remake & TTGL). -it pretty much make everything you did in the game moot. -doomed the entire civilization in the galaxy. -no closure on the characters whatsoever -- n this one made me upset.  |

QUOTE(ZRong223 @ Mar 17 2012, 10:58 PM) Besides I'm certain that the indoctrination theory is false. false or not, the evidence & logic behind that theory is sound.i think it was intentionally planted by bioware. but i doubt they would go that route though. either way, i just want an extended ending. that's all. |

^this is what i think about the whole theory;
i think the indoctrination route is what Bioware intended to go with in the beginning, but for whatever reason dropped the idea. that's why you still see the clue that points out about the kid since the beginning of the game. |

i don't really agree on changing the ending though, coz the damage is done. there are more harm than good if they do change it.
what Bioware should do now is release an extended/epilogue ending. showing what happen to everyone before & after the ending n how the galactic society moves on. they should also try to enforce the ending (creator will always rebelled thing) with better explanation. |

QUOTE(l337hunter @ Mar 20 2012, 07:56 PM) Just take a look into those things like Razer gears, merchandises, etc. Endorsed by EA/Bioware the merchandise thing is done in other games as well. the difference is, EA puts in extra digital contents on it. Exclusive uber-cool weapon with even more "upgrades" if you redeem the same code. Not to mention they are actually giving people choices to pay real currency to fund in-game weapons and upgrades. Consumers who literally pay to play have actually a wider arc of advantage not to mention headstart with minimal effort to those that don't. n getting weapons in this game depends on chance/luck. so yes u can use real money but you are not buying weapons, just more try--i know ppl who spent $20 but only got usual weapons. n again, balance in MP is not really an issue. it's a Co-op play, not competitive. n the real advantage with ppl who placed 1st is how many EXP you got. money is not really much difference. |

QUOTE(l337hunter @ Mar 20 2012, 08:23 PM) I find it kinda hard to believe it is even considered valid "extra contents" as ME3 isn't even considered or marketed as an MMO but sure as hell feels like one or at least trying hard to. Paying real cash for ever little mico-transactions for one. so your problem with it is that ppl who play more will more or less has the same advantage as ppl who pay more?My point isn't about balance or whatnot but rather people who pay more can easily achieve more via buying for all those virtual perks. Also luck is disregarded as people who spend more the chances are much higher that sooner or later they pretty much going to own all those weapons, upgrades perks regardless of probability. Basically what I want to illustrate is that people who want to more easily fight off the reapers just need to pay to acquire more in-game upgrades (e.g. bonus stats, weapons) compared to those that actually spend countless hours playing to earn them. Thus literally my point: Pay to Win. that's a fair trade IMO. |

i love this part:
QUOTE Imagine Frodo, dangling the One Ring, over the fiery chasm of Mt. Doom. He turns, and says, “The Ring is Mine!” and slips the One Ring onto his finger. Suddenly he’s whisked into a universe contained inside the One Ring, an entire world trapped in the essence of the ring. He meets the Keeper of the Ring, an ethereal spirit who has dwelled within the ring since its creation and now Frodo must make the ultimate sacrifice. He has to become the ring, in order to destroy it. How many people in the theater, watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy, would have stood up and said: “What the fu*k is this shit?” |

i agree how the conversations tree in ME3 are less varied from it's predecessor.
however, the consequences of your choices are more elaborate this time--betraying the krogan for example was gut wrenching. so i dun see that how less choice this time around affect much. then again there's the ending which is a whole another story. |

QUOTE(Enclave Recruit @ Mar 28 2012, 12:53 PM) Just watch the fan made endings and be done with it. An "ending DLC" will provide more justifications for other company's to follow suit in the future. too late. Bethesda did it first with Fallout 3 Broken Steel, Ubisoft did it with PoP Epilogue, Square-Enix did it with FFXIII-2, Capcom did it with Asura's Wrath, etc.at least this ME3 ending is something that fans actually want...or rather, need to move on from bioware.

QUOTE(Cyrus2k @ Mar 31 2012, 02:31 PM) IMHO, current ending is good enough, why purposely release another ending just to cater the fans/players? I believe we should respect the developers/writers decision for the endings except the ending was a decision made by casey hudson & mac walters without consulting other writing staff. this was reflected on patrick weekes (another writer who wrote Tuchanka scenario & Mordin's character) post on penny-arcade forum (which was removed entirely upon his request later on). as for the plotholes/problems with the ending, you should read this excellent article. it sums up exactly about why ppl hated the ending. http://jmstevenson.wordpress.com/2012/03/2...-mass-effect-3/ |
