What he's basically saying is "People are talking about it, that means it's good!"

Fuck Casey Hudson, seriously.

At least the charity drive is over 27k dollars.

At least the charity drive is over 27k dollars.

I really doubt they care.

They'll most likely spew some rhetoric about how the charity is extremely appreciated but they're keeping it the way it is.

I mean, granted, the charity is extremely wonderful, regardless of the reason, but still.

Wow, really... the endings made the game QUITE forgettable for me. Almost not even going to actually finish the game on new game +'s because I hate them that much. Lol.

I never imagined only playing through ME3s story once, but here we are.
Multiplayer was very good until it erased all my weapons and races I had earned, heres hoping they fix that horrible bug and I get my precious Drell Adept back.

[Yakobro]

Quite.
But this makes me hopeful:

In before "Here's the real ending we planned all along! Buy it!".

What's funny is if they actually expect no-one to pirate it after this if they do it.

*crazy fangirl eyeglow on* Give... Meeee... *-*

For real that does give more hope. Though it'll most likely be the whole "Want a happy ending? Now you can have it for only 9,95€!"-scenario.

Maybe I'll save my donation for that one =P

My hopes are still high, but I'm fully expecting them to be crushed at any moment. I'm not gonna let another thing absolutely kill my spirits.

This was one of the funnies moments for me, it's appearently one of the easter eggs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOm9K3jyn8 "DON'T TOUCH THAT!"

I don't think this counts as a spoiler, does it?

I for one would definitely buy a new DLC that includes a better ending and wouldn't find it immoral or bad ethics at all if they released one. I'd just take it as an expansion where the story is concluded. Lots of games do that and it's a good thing. I don't know why anyone would be upset about it or think it's too low to do something like that.

They never said that the original installment concludes all story lines, just that the story would end with ME3. ME3 expansions and DLCs qualify as part of the game at least in my book.

Oh i loved that and it ended up being about shit if i recall correcorrectly haha

[Gorno]

Still disappointed in the lack of a Miranda / Liara cat fight.

I stumbled across it by accident on the playthrough I just started. I could've sworn I looked around the best I could during the first time but appearently not. That was still god damn hilarious to come across.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'll definitely buy a DLC if it compensates the endings or continues from where you left off. I want that happy ending or at least a closure. I'm just saying that it will most likely be a DLC like that rather than a free update. :3

Bioware said that they are ending the Shep story with ME3, does this mean that there could be an ME4 just not Shep as the main character? I've got a feeling that James Vaga has a future role to play in the story, i base this on him being new and introduced at the last minute.

[Draknalor186]

how many hours average does the story take?

[Hankoen]

haters gonna hate.

[Laurcus]

how many hours average does the story take?

Hard to say, but I'd guess 25-50 if you 100% it. Possibly faster if you know what to do beforehand. If you're talking just the main quest missions, fuck if I know, but I doubt it'd be longer than 15 unless you're really slow.

[Nalnik]

Quite.

I hope that they actually have something planned and are not just trying to buy time. If they have somewhere to go with it, I'd love to see it. As it stands now, the game was amazing until the last 0.33% of it.

All Mass Relays destroyed? Space travel now takes years, decades, or even centuries to reach anywhere. The combined armies of the Galaxy have to survive off the food of Earth and any remaining liveships, assuming such food is even edible/nutritious for those races. Countless millions/billions will now starve because all supply lines are destroyed. If your planet cannot support your population, say goodbye. Colonies, mining stations, space stations. Bye.

An ending where the hero dies in a sacrifice to save everyone else? Sure, I can get behind that.
Alternate endings that the only real difference is what color the light show is? Waste of time. Unite the galaxy; destroy it; it makes no difference to the ending. Still the same choices and the same results.

Compare that to ME2.
Didn't upgrade the armor on your ship? Squad mates died because of it.
Didn't improve your shielding? Characters die.
Send the wrong person to do an assignment? They died.
Your choices had consequences there. Here? Hallucinating Shepard either gasps or doesn't.

And why the hell did Joker run away like that?! Uh oh. Lost contact with Shepard. Better high tail it out of here. Ignore the battle raging around Earth, that's not important.

However, if I have to pay more for the actual ending of a game that I already paid for, I'll probably acquire the ending through.... other means.

Maybe I'll like the endings more after I wake up.

Oh yea, anyone else got excited that they might be able to drive that 6 wheeled tank again? I liked that thing and got my hopes up when hearing the final battle plan.

My top ME moment has to go to talking with sovereign.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVKKWeDCOZs
To me, the sheer fact that a reaper was that incredibly powerful and evil in Mass Effect 1 was completely lost in Mass Effect 2 and 3

That is followed closely by mordin singing in ME2
