Ouch, Bioware... Dragon Age 2, and now this?
Because it's that bad. It's an ending that fails on every possible level and contradicts every statement made about it (hence the FTC complaint). Then just to pile on the insult you have the "Game over insert coins to continue" bit right at the end.

Not so sure. If you look at the figures the sales are all in day 1/2 then drop off rapidly. This was before the ending debacle really took hold if you mean it goes back to DA2 and Day1DLC, that could certainly have had some impact. I don't think EA are going to be as willing to give them blank cheques after this.

After the 2nd day sales dropped by pretty much half each day after. It's not going to be Skyrim and that was Biowares best shot to get the big numbers. For comparrison Skyrim sold 3.4 million in Two days. Mass Effect 3 was also hugely expensive to both make and to advertise. Biowares reputation is in tatters right now and they have no solid IP to fall back on. FYI - ME1 One platform 500k ME2 Two platforms 1 million ME3 Three platforms 1.8 million Not really seeing that much of an improvement and once you factor in costs , looks even worse.

Casey Hudson: "This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we're taking into account so many decisions that you've made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It's not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C." "It's more like there are some really obvious things that are different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters. That becomes the state of where you left your galaxy. The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them." Someone has registered a complaint with the FTC.

As many have said about "The Truth" and that entire thing...I'll believe it when I see it. Also, Bio would be better to release it sooner than later...cause if it's later they'll still have people get it...all 3 out of 3.5 million who are still paying attention... (probably a slight exaggeration, but it gets the point across...at least better then Bio's current ending). As many have said about "The Truth" and that entire thing...I'll believe it when I see it.

It means they sold a game to a group of people knowing full well they never had the "real" version.

The ending reminded me of those really old arcade machine that would say "You win Game over" "Please insert coin to continue" putting a DLC message at the end was very tacky. I'd stick with ME2 overall as well. Lots of highpoints in ME3 but lots of low points too. ME2 is a more even ride.I miss rolling a lot more than I thought I would though.

Some but I don't know if it's because they really feel that way or because it's part of the job description of a "biodrone". The endings just don't seem to fit the events that were portrayed just before, which leads me to think they were tacked on time saver type endings or replacements for what was intended to be the real endings. I don't get ME3 at all the begining shows off every weakness possible and the endings are just bad on every level. But for the most part the middle is quality. I don't think Bioware are good at "editing" or project management going from the last two games. You could have removed chunks of ME3 in the middle and as long as the ending was well done you would have none of this backlash.
