i just hope this doesn't teach that whining like a little kid gets you what you want

i'm glad its a extended cut not an outright change i'd be pissed if they did that
Don't be silly. Whining little kids taught me that whining like a little kid gets you want you want. I always cave when my nephew starts crying.
crying is ok but not when they go overboard you know what i mean when you just want to smack them

talking about it is fine but the whining and complaining about it isn't
Well, one person's talking is another person's whining. For example, you probably think you're talking right now, whereas it sounds like a lot of whinging to me. Eye of the beholder, my friend.

And whatever the case, of COURSE it's okay to fucking complain. We can't complain to companies now? Are we going to startle their virgin ears? What on earth are you on about?

I've said this many times now, but I think they'd have done pretty well and wouldn't have had even half of the negative feed-back if they had simply done a text-box slideshow a la Dragon Age: Origins that explains how each race as a whole was effected by your decisions and then little epilogues for each of the main squadmates from all the games that survived.
I'd generally file that under the list of 1,000,000 things that couldn't possibly have made the ending any worse. Those text crawls are sort of a "good enough" ending these days. It was fine stuff in the BG2 era. ME was always a more cinematic game, so I'd hope for and expect a more cinematic resolution. One without color filters standing in for "choice".
And I agree, cinematics would be preferable, I just can't help but think that a non-voiced montage in slow motion set to Bryan Adams' (Everything I Do) I Do it for You won't smooth things over with the fans. :p

I still like the idea that I've been kicking around of a hero's funeral for Shepard in which all the supporting cast gives a little speech about how Shepard affected their lives and the lives of their entire species. Think that could knock out two birds with one stone. Hell, even the Rachni Queen could be there to sing the funeral dirge about how Shepard freed her twice! :3

Oh fuck I should probably stick big sarcasm alerts around this so Cruxis doesn't yell at me again.
I read the whole post in anticipation for this one line. I was not disappoint.

i learned over the years that you get more by being civil not acting like a little kid who deserve to be locked in there room. even when i was charged extra i just sat back and called them and was civil about it and guess what i got stuff for free :)

That goddam Rachni Queen gets kidnapped more often than Princess Peach. I've had it with her and her whole stupid species.

There's still some debate about whether or not branding an entire demographic as "whiners" and equating them to angry children because they don't share your views qualifies as "civility". I'll get back to you with the results.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

This is exactly what I wanted. Let's hope it answers all those questions it threw out, because it felt more like lazy writing than ambiguous plot.

Seriously...and how the hell DO you get captured by the Reapers, get COMPLETELY Reaper-ized (i.e. installed with synthetic and mechanical parts...her mouth is a frickin' spotlight!) and yet you're NOT completely Indoctrinated? Honestly I seriously considered killing her even with my Paragon Shep purely because I didn't think she could be trusted anymore!

:p oh, and one of my favorite parts of the game is when Grunt comes strolling out of the cave absolutely DRENCHED in blood.

I tried to find an appropriate picture by Googling "killing art", but apparently those two words are popular in the metal scene. But then I tried "stab art"...and failed again.

I guess all the art was dead, so I couldn't find it. But that second search did lead me to this*...


*Not a fan of ponies. But also not a fan of cats.

All in all, I'd say this whole post is pretty pointless. Yep. Like art. Because it's dead.

Yes Bioware!!!! I knew you could do it! I knew you could get through to those thick skulled EA people!

Faith reignited. Unless of course it's even more convoluted with the explanation.

In the new version, the Star Child delivers his monologue in the form of a RAP.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just being cynical but reading between the lines, I get the impression that someone at Bioware, even if it's just Hudson, still thinks the ending is fine. The phrase "even more context and clarity" stongly implies that the ending is already clear and makes sense in context.

Here's an interesting Forbes article that was recently posted: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/04/05/bioware-announces-mass-effect-3-extended-cut-but-is-it-a-victory-for-fans/

Personally I am going to wait and see how the free DLC plays out. I doubt it will completely appease me, but then I can always reserve judgment on Bioware games only to give them my money when I know that they are offering a quality product with no strings attached. I am not going to be buying any ME3 DLC however. Showing them they made a mistake will hopefully lead to better decision making on their part going forward.
