Raithe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hm, and apparently: The save files have specific tags that specify what kind of ending you have achieved for importing and are labeled as the following: ? Blaze of Glory ? Not Finished ? Live to Fight Another Day Although I have yet to actually confirm that elsewhere... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

GhostofAnakin Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 So I finally finished my first play through last night, and .... yeah. I see now what all the uproar about the ending is about. What makes it worse is the fact BioWare made statements months before release about closure and how there would be no unanswered questions, and they come up with an ending that doesn't provide closure and a million questions. Not to mention the fact your choices throughout the series had zero impact on the endings, or even on which endings were available to you. The thing that boggles my mind the most is, when a game/story is left on a vague note, it's usually so the story can be continued at a later date. But with what happened, it's almost impossible (without a lot of retconning) for any continuation of the story since the mass relays are destroyed! The entire premise for the series (ie. traveling to various systems thanks to the Mass Relay network) is gone. So how would they continue that? Horrible way to end a series. 1 "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 This is an amusing take on things from the Bioware boards We are experiencing the same problem Shepard is experiencing in real time. The same confusion and doubt and frustration. They WANT us to go over it again and again in our heads, examine the facts and figure out the truth, because that is what Shepard has to do. We must realize its a dream before we can wake up from it, otherwise we're trapped in it. If the game had just picked right back up after the decision then we wouldn't feel any of this, it would just be a ****ty "gotcha!" moment and nobody would even really remember it in the logn run. By giving us this interactive, real time experience of the ending before the real ending comes, they are making it far more memorable. Thats exactly what Casey said he wanted.

Raithe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 That is a certain.. possibility. It would make an interesting attempt. But it would also be a very dangerous thing to try.

zero_or_more Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (Might as well use my account...) Seems strange that a series which put so much effort into importing old saves would completely ignore all these settings in the endgame. I mean that was the selling point, to 'shape the universe with your actions' or what, that's why they labeled it an RPG. Was there ever any other game to invalidate your gaming experience with such a move? So with that said it's the same game that had a 0-day dlc-on-disk, unlockable by editing a single line, no? So it must be some dlc ploy or something. Which is sad, imo... and for them 'the ends justify the means' I guess - and they will miss the point. Words to avoid...

Nepenthe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) The DLC does include the Eden Prime level and the Normandy cutscenes, so it's not all on disc. http://masseffect.wi...ng_DLC_Revealed!

Can't say I find it very believable, but if it turns out to be true, they have some major brass balls. OTOH if it's just some troll, he has to be one of the most advanced ones ever.

Calax Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I laughed at the youtube somebody did of all the six endings possible synched up so it's obvious that 90% of the ending is just one giant pallet swap.

GhostofAnakin Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If you think about it, BioWare did a better job way back in KOTOR with regards to making an ending that depended on how you choose to play throughout the game than they did all these years later with ME3. One ending has Jedi saving the day, the other has Sith ruling the galaxy, both depending on your actions. Say what you will about the actual quality of the writing to get to that point, but the basic premise, at least, ended up giving you closure for your character. ME3, the endings did no such thing. If this is a PR stunt gone wrong, then they better hurry up and fix it. If not, then they really need to fire whoever came up with the ending, and fire anyone who gave the green light to the writer of the ending.

Guest Slinky Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 http://social.biowar...index/9999272/1 And even in November the gameplay team was still experimenting with an endgame sequence where players would suddenly lose control of Shepard's movement and fall under full reaper control. (This sequence was dropped because the gaemplay mechanic proved too troublesome to implement alongside dialogue choices Indoctrination theorists are going to love that one.

Tale Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 It doesn't sound like they rushed the ending, as I initially assumed. But given all the iterations they went through, it seems like they just never could settle on how to end it. Like in one, Garrus and Liara die outright. Another says "sense of hope," which I don't think is anything like where we ended up. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

And both of them should be told "It's not your fault, I never should have hired you in the first place".
