Mass Effect 3

[Chaotix]

Hmm. afew more hours, still kinda hoping they were stringing us on and they actually are going to use indoctrination.

No matter what, I think the ending will still be vague enough that it's open to interpretation.

Personally I love the indoctrination theory, it fits perfectly (in my mind). If the extended ending they put out isn't quite satisfactory and doesn't disprove it, I'm still gonna go ahead and say the ending is just a dream sequence.

OK just finished playing it.
The most important difference I found was that the starchild is now modeled after Casey Hudson and you get an option to push him off the Citadel. He lands on top of Harbinger (who looks kind of like Mac Walters). Then they both explode.

On a more serious note -

The new refusal ending....
I really really hate these guys now. It's like they're saying so you're too uptight to accept the piece of art we gave you. Well you fail. We'll wait till another player comes along who can accept our

Edit2:
JFR it isn't out for PC yet, I watched this on youtube.

Refusal ending: ....Go f*ck yourselves bioware. You are joining my new pirate to spite list.

I cant only hope the other endings are worth waiting but if this is any indication it's not going to be.

I borrowed the game from a friend of mine and played it for about 2 hours then got bored because it was somehow seriously missing the whole RPG thing the previous 2 games had..

Ashley looks kinda hawt with teh long hair tho :3 xD

I saw the refusal ending and holy that was stupid.

I mean, I get it. Shepard didnt want everyone to have to be synthetics, but if all they did was add one, Im definitly not getting ME3 until its for really cheap. And even then I dont really want to because I lost all my previous Mass Effect savegames. Over 200 hours lost in one hard drive failure. Yay.

For those wondering all of the endings are now on youtube. Just search "Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut" and then the ending you want to see. Destroy, Synthesis, Control, and Refuse.

I was somehow expecting more.

TBH I don't have an issue with what they've done. I really wasn't expecting much, and destroy ends on a rather hopeful note, specially with high enough EMS.

But what really makes me angry, is that the whole Refusal ending is one big to all the people who said the starchild was out of tune with the story. It's like BW (specifically Casey Hudson and Mac Walters) are literally telling us that sure you got the right to be mad, but you know what, we don't give a damn.
The sheer amount of arrogance leaves me amazed.

I mean they were not being forced to do anything, they could've eaisly left it out like they ignored so many other things, but to put it in in it's current form is an affront.

I'm in agreement. I was just somehow expecting a bit more exposition. There's a hell of a lot less implied and much more shown which is great. They also caved a bit in the bleakness of the ending which I understand but don't really agree with.

I sorta liked the idea that in order to build a civilization free of Reaper influence and the cycle, the one you currently had would need to be destroyed. But it is a rather harsh ending and I understand why they changed relays from being destroyed to "damaged but repairable." The change to the normandy's fate was also expected.

For those hoping for a full re-write though, this is gonna be a huge disappointment. I'm bracing for the next wave of internet backlash.

Well it's more so "end it our way or not at all" because who in their right mind is going to pick Refuse? That's an even darker ending than what the original ending implied. If language rules here we much more relaxed i'd have a few names to call the bioware writers - but i suppose i'll have to settle for pretentious, after seeing Refuse. Goodness, what a laugh.

So... Destroy ending makes even more sense now we know the kid is really just a dick. Also, everybody note how the Normandy is no longer crippled (you don't see it and she takes off at the end) and the relays are now just damaged

It's like someone's having a nervous twitch over there - they can't quite admit they screwed up, even though they want to.
