Mass Effect 3's ingenious ending doesn't need an extended cut

Mass Effect 3's ending never had a chance to truly click with the gaming community. The Extended Cut downloadable content might take away from the meaning of the game's original ending.

Really? How can the IT supporters be so happy with Mass Effect 3 because that is the ending they think they got? You are happy you were given a game that didn't have an ending? The theory basically states everything after the beam is a dream. In which case the ending never happens. In which case you have to wait for a fourth game to end the trilogy(huh?) or dlc to end the game. I mean that isn't ingenious. That isn't clever. That isn't revolutionary. That is a jerk move.

I mean if that is the case you have to hope they apologize for sending out an incomplete game and offer the "real ending" dlc for free. However as has been shown they will never apologize, they won't give out free meaningful dlc, and you figure they are smart enough to not come out and say, "Yeah IT is correct, we purposely made an incomplete game to charge you for the rest later because we are that awesome a company."

IT is gutted. Got into a brief spat with some guy on BSN today still trying to say IT was real, deluding himself into believing Harbinger spoke to Shepard when he gurgled out some generic reaper noise at the beam.

IT is religion-tier to some people. Unfortunately, as their "evidence" keeps getting chopped down, their initial sexy conspiracy just looks like sad desperation.

My goodness. They have to make another one now that is post ME3 to wash the bitter taste out. I thought they would have made a cliffhanger ending in which u could take it as a defeat or a possible future. Then they could decide if they wanted another game. Now they have to so that everyone can appreciate Me for what it is.

... no. Just... no.

ME3's ending was NOT ingenious. On some levels, it may have potentially been clever, but it was NOT ingenious.

Man, people are still defending Bioware on this? How deluded can they be?

FrightfulActions5119d ago

Did you read the article? I was going to post something similar to this the moment I saw the title. But after reading it, I think he just words it wrong. I think what he means to say is that it had the potential to be ingenious, had the Indoctrination Theory been used.

Hicken5119d ago

Even so, there would still be the utter lack of dedication shown in the various endings. I mean, a handful of second-long clips, and different colored laser beams is all you got. While a lot of people were okay with it for whatever reasons, a lot of people were NOT okay, and their reasons are well known.

That a series that was supposedly all about choices shows all your choices to be ultimately futile is a slap in the face to many. Besides, while the Indoctrination Theory may be what makes the most sense at this point, it's not even the ORIGINAL ending(which was leaked before release). Yet Bioware treats the current ending as if IT is the original, and even made fun of people for having problems with it.

Honestly, I give the fans more credit for the Indoctrination Theory than I give to Bioware.

FrightfulActions5119d ago

I agree with you completely, I'm in no means defending Bioware or their 'artistic integrity' bs, I'm just saying the article isn't as pro-corporation anti-fans as the title would lead you to believe.

anast572d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine572d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast572d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman572d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
