About that bit what you're all discussing:

I just thought it would be nice if he stayed alive because I did everything, not because I half-assed it.

Indications from the Mass Effect twitter accounts are that this might not be the end and that bioware has something extra in store for us.

For just $19.99!


In any case, I thought I'd share one frustration: some body animations in cutscenes seem really, really wrong - bugged as fuck. Best example is femshep putting her hand to her ear as in using comm - half the time the hand goes halfway through her head, it breaks immersion something fierce. Also missing objects chars are supposedly passing to each other. And ingame, sometimes the ladders don't work right and you end up standing on thin air 2 paces in front of the edge.

Sigh.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Is that DLC, additional endings, or a whole new game?

At one point during the game some Cerberus troops were hopping in a ship and running away. They take off, but i'm still getting shot from somewhere. Finally I look up and the ship had taken off, but they were floating 40 feet above the ground shooting at me.

I really need to finish this damn game so i can read all the spoilers.
I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

I hated the ending. I knew that Bioware was going to blow it, that the mystery of the Reapers would amount to something lame and that the choices you made throughout the series wouldn't change how things ended. A small part of me was really hoping otherwise.

My feelings on the ending. Hopefully they make sense, I wrote this while I was in a fit of rage:

You know you're doing something wrong when fans have raised nearly $50,000 for charity in just two days to protest the ending.
uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

It does provide plenty of reason for ME3 DLC.

Hudson already said that whatever they'll be doing further in ME at all will happen during or before ME3.

That's the stated plan anyway. We were also supposed to get 16 different endings. This might change.

I just wanted to say that as I've yet to play the game, so have not been opening any of the spoilers, this thread is thoroughly amusing me :(

I finished and I feel as sad as when I finished tCG. The story is over :wallbash:

I'm not entirely decided on what I thought of the ending yet.


... and christ, this was the most intense gaming experience I've ever had.

Great document detailing the overwhelming number of plot holes and logical fallacies in the ending.
