Yup, that's actually been my Facebook pic for a bit now.

Nothing like writing 3 brilliant games only to end with a mix of the Matrix and Terminator Salvation...

Mordacain · 04-03-2012, 11:46 AM

Well, I think I've fully signed on to the player indoctrination theory at this point. For anyone that hasn't really given it alot of thought, this is a very well-edited video outlying the major evidence in favor of it:

***SPOILERS IN THE VIDEO***

Sorry if that's been posted already in the thread, I scanned through the whole thing but it would be easy to miss.

Now off to complete my perfect Paragon run through through ME 1 and start up 2.

BTW, for anyone playing on PC, there are some excellent high-res texture packs (fan-made) available now that are really prettying up the game for me. ME 1 essentially is on-par graphically with 3 with the new textures loaded.

BioWare Announces Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut
BioWare today announces Mass Effect™ 3: Extended Cut, a downloadable content pack that will expand upon the events at the end of the critically acclaimed Action RPG. Through additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut will give fans seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes. Coming this summer, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut will be available for download on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC for no extra charge.

"We are all incredibly proud of Mass Effect 3 and the work done by Casey Hudson and team," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder of BioWare and General Manager of EA's BioWare Label. "Since launch, we have had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are responding. With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team's artistic vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass Effect universe."

Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series added, "We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player."

And unsurprisingly the guys on the Bioware boards are trying to see the downside to this. Mass Effect must have one of the most frustrating fanbases.

Yea. I really hoping the Indoctrination theory pans out. I think there will be a collective "oh...." moment from everyone if the extended cut just makes it more apparent that was what transpired...

There's no pleasing Bioware fans.

No gay relationships? GOD BIOWARE YOU'RE SO HOMOPHOBIC I'M CANCELLING MY PREORDER
Gay relationships? GOD BIOWARE WHY'D YOU MAKE MY SHEPARD GAY I'M CANCELLING MY PREORDER
Multiplayer? GOD BIOWARE YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE KEEP PLAYING
Microtransactions so you don't have to grind multiplayer? GOD BIOWARE YOU'RE SELLING OUT
Confusing downer ending to a galactic war that's already left billions dead? GOD BIOWARE WHY'RE YOU SUCH DOWNERS
Shoehorn a happy ending in? GOD BIOWARE YOU'RE ONLY DOING THIS 'CAUSE WE COMPLAINED
Don't reveal Tali's face when you romance her in ME2? GOD BIOWARE YOU'RE SUCH COCKTEASES
Reveal Tali's face in ME3? DON'T LIKE THIS FACE, MAN BIOWARE YOU SURE SUCK
Get one of the first men in space to deliver a Carl Sagan-esque closing line to the game? ENDING SUCKS I WANT MY MONEY BACK

I'm Commander Shepard, and these are the least grateful fans on the Citadel.

I don't think anything can redeem Bioware to their hardcore fan base, they dug themselves a pretty deep ditch

I wasn't foaming at the mouth mad at how they did the ending, but I'm probably not going to buy another one of their games.

pink freud · 04-05-2012, 02:06 PM

I have to say, the ending doesn't bother me as much as most people. It was just Deus Ex HR part 2.

It bothered me at first, but that was before I really stopped to think about it. After reading several of the ME team's (admittedly minimal) comments regarding it I'm pretty well convinced what we see should not be taken at face value; the extended scenes seem to corroborate that as the description seems just make what you play through clearer.

C2Aye · 04-06-2012, 03:46 PM

This is a pretty good read, looking at the ending of ME3 from a literary standpoint.

All That Matters is the Ending, Part 2: Mass Effect 3 « The Writer's Block

I'm also open to the idea of the extended ending and I'm glad that it's free. It could turn out either way, but at least something was attempted and if they could answer a lot of the questions that the ending introduced as to the fate of squad characters, I could probably make my peace with the ending.

I respected the hell out of them no matter what, they made an incredible series with an astoundingly detailed universe.

They also get slightly different abilities. Salarian Infiltrator is kickass. AOE Energy Drain with a semi-auto sniper rifle equiped is lulz.

You also see it if you choose her as your other half. She leaves a picture by your bedside and you can visit the picture to reveal a small cut-scene which shows her without her mask
