    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.

    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

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

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

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    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.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    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.

    From what they've said I don't think the writers intended that - I think they just expected you to assume everybody pooled their knowledge and built new relays, which is not beyond the pale but is rather a tool order before everyone over Earth starves.


    The refusal ending would not be so bad if it was in in the beginning, adding it now makes no sense though.

    Also:

    In control one of the things "Shepard" references with those who sacrificed is apparently his own helmet, which is in the same pile of rubble as sheppard is shown covered in at the end of Destroy. Destroy is also the only one where Shepard's name isn't added to the wall, by the looks of it. So they STILL haven't explained that and the whole thing could STILL be a dream.


    BIOWARE are obviously finished as an RPG studio, having been aquired by EA expect them to be wound down in five years or less. It's a shame.

    So I couldn't keep my curiosity in check until my next chance to play the game, so I watched the endings on youtube. Bearing in mind that I'm not seeing any content from before-hand(understanding that apparently the additional stuff kicks in before cerberus mission), I'm finding it mostly reasonable. But then, I guess my expectations weren't through the roof or anything. But for the refuse ending, I absolutely lol'd. I thought it was hilarious, myself. Because, let's be honest, if we take the star kid at more or less face value, that's exactly what should happen if you decide to do that. That it serves as a middle finger to a batch of extremely vocal and irritating fans(looking at you, BSN. Good grief, their plot section had nothing but ending stuff for a solid 2 months) only served to add to my amusement.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    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.
