I wonder if Joe played the Citadel DLC, there was a load of good stuff to review in that last DLC…

Meh… The endings are better BY A MILE than what it was before this DLC, but I just want to point out that the promise of “everything matters from previous games and no A,B,C endings” was false and I am still left with an unsatisfied feeling… I just hope that in the next ME there will be A LOT of Shepard references and everyone will speak his name in honor…

The extended Ending was really good. Like I said, I don’t dislike heroes dying in games. Sometimes that’s what makes the story really touching, interesting and special.

However, I also would have liked a different body ‘structure’ for that Catalyst AI. And it would have been nice to have the war assets affect the ending more.

And the Renegade ‘bullet the god child’ option really is a bite in the butt… That should have been improved.

But all in all its nice and satisfying. I can play ME3 now without fearing the last 10 minutes of the game. I can replay it without bursting out in anger of the end. And I am glad that Bioware took time and efforts to give the fans a better conclusion to everything.

The new ending was most definitely an improvement on what we first had. though in my mind it was too short for a proper, much anticipated ending to dare i say one of the greatest game trilogies iv’e ever played.

I’m pretty disappointed in how they went against their own lore with blowing up the jump gates. To me it was like the story was in a different studios hands.

Also the assets yes, the assets from halfway through the game i was hyping myself up thinking wow the Rachni and their queen tearing up rows of reaper battalions alongside the Blue sun, Blood pack and Eclipse merc teams. Only to find out all that work to get all the help i needed had no meaningful representation in the end game…….

Also sorry for a late response to the subject, i’m new here and just wanted to voice my opinion on the matter

I’m not sure if this is related, but I thought it was odd when Shepard gets transported through the beam into the Citadel and passes out, and Anderson is calling out to her, when she wakes up suddenly there’s an odd sound kind of like a Reaper.
I just finished my second play through with the extended cut an hour ago and I couldn’t remember if that was there before.

But as for the extended cut, I didn’t feel the intense disappointment from the first playthrough, but idk, maybe I’ve just accepted it by now. I did love the extra interaction with your LI if you brought them with you to the beam and the glimpses into the Normandy and your crew while you’re on the Citadel

I had to go through it twice though, I accidentally pissed off the starchild the first time… haha

BOYCOTT ELECTRONIC ARTS (EA)

I am very surprised by your accepting of this extended cut Joe, I am also surprised you put ME3 in both your top controversies and your best games of 2012 videos (obviously best surprised me). One would think, because of a large number of followers you have now, that you could be paid off by some companies to give better ratings for particular games. I myself am not pointing fingers, but that is the impression people are starting to have from you. I hope this is not the case.

So Joe, what do you think about the Leviathan DLC? I tried it myself and it seems to answer so much more than I expected. I think that if they put that in the game, it would have made it a little better, but even those Extended Cut endings could have still been better; however, thank goodness they fixed some vital points of lore and plot holes.

I hate that the destroy option still takes out EDI and the geth (who I worked like a dog to get to have peace with the quarians). Like you said in 10 Reasons Why We Hate the Mass Effect Ending, “Why the f*ck not a happy ending?”

I understand that Bioware was being pushed by the evil corporate pricks at EA who have no respect for art… but, they still made a big mistake. If you ask me, the ending of Mass Effect 3 should have been the first part of the game they completed. They should have BEGUN by making a really amazing ending to the franchise, then built the rest of the game to lead up to that amazing conclusion. Their #1 priority should have been to give Mass Effect and the fans the well thought out and complex endings they deserve, and that they promised.
