The Battle for Earth started out so promising as well:

Seeing Shepard's fleet jump in and the ensuing fight gave me chills.

I've been playing MP lately more than anything. I got about half way through SP on Insanity and haven't touched it in a while. I'll see what they announce about the endings at PAX.

Ha I'm pretty much exactly the same.

I had just finished Tuchanka on Insanity for my second playthrough and just stopped. No multiplayer for me though.

I'm really anxious about what the announcement at PAX will be but at least I'll finally know if keeping updated and caring about the game will be worth it or not.

Here we go.

Looks like they're just basically putting epilogue stuff in it. Ugh. I just wanted that fourth "Screw you kid, we're going to see who wins right here and now." ending.

You mean epilogue.

But yeah... I'm not sure how they would address all your choices... Ugh.

Also, will I have to replay the long final mission? When I finished my EMS was over 5k but now it's probably around 4. Will that totally change it for me (ala that one second if you have 5k?)

Ugh

I knew they wouldn't retcon the ending. But they should have. Ah well.

They keep hiding behind their "artistic vision" even though the ending completly destroys the narrative coherence of the entire series.

Bleh. If the ending keeps god child they don't see what's wrong with it.

At least they are doing something. Worst ending for a game/game series that otherwise was just outstanding ever. You know when even the strongest Bioapologists like me think it outright stinks that it does indeed stink.

At least it's free

Still keeps the majority of the awful ending in there. Solves very little of the criticism.

Well it's better than nothing. The twitter girl for Bioware (Jessica) has been giving tweeting a lot of promising things at least.

ex: http://oi43.tinypic.com/2q8trvs.jpg

I'll wait to see what they say at the panel before deciding. (Still wish they'd just remove the starchild though...)

They don't understand. I didn't need a happy ending with all my squadmates living happily ever after.

I know why they aren't changing the ending, since that would take an insane amount of work to fix it in a patch, but it doesn't mean I have to be satisfied with some clarification DLC. That's not addressing the main issues with the ending, that's just trying to justify it some more.

I mean, at least its free but still. Bleh.

Actually I think they do understand by now why people hate the ending and I think they'll try to do everything they can to appease as many of the complaints they had as possible. (The bleak outlook at the end being one of them.)

I never expected them to completely remove the ending but so far my two greatest fears have been alleviated.
1: That they're doing nothing
2:They're doing something but for 1600 Microsoft points.

At least Bioware is semi-acknowledging the deficiencies in the story and ending of ME3.

When us StarCraft 2 fans who bickered about the story for WoL we were quite literally met with deaf ears.

One fan even went as far as writing up and posting a massive essay on all the major, and quite obvious, plot holes, contradictions, contrived scenarios, and retcons. It also became one of the largest threads on the Blizz forums.

Clarification and filling out the ending would be enough for me. Because as it stands, it's still just confusing as hell.

I'd prefer a final boss that isn't dodging reaper cannon attacks and hitting a button.

Kai Leng wasn't bad and on insanity it's actually pretty challenging (energy drain FTW).

Is it even possible to beat him on Thessia, or does the game not allow that?

So I've heard that the panel isn't going to be addressing the Ending DLC beyond what was in the press release and FAQ. (Please don't hurt the kitten!)

Lots of info from the twitter people once again though. Someone compiled them here but it's kind of crappy formatting and hard to read.http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/to...index/11092464

What I managed to glean from the tweets that the added content is going to be much more than just a few cinematics. There will likely be additional combat sequences and dialogue choices related to your EMS and the voice actors will be involved.

Another good move to make the DLC free though. I'm almost positive that it wouldn't be if people were raving about the game.
