Just go with that. It's the least mind-fúckish option, in my opinion. Although the DLC will clarify everything...hopefully.

promethius42 · 25-05-2012 4:26pm

Hope so, I will be most disappointed if they only slightly change it because the game itself deserved a far better ending.

Hey, maybe you need to take a step back here.

You are responding with insults rather than argument to defend your opinion and it kind of damages your "I am not getting emotional" stance.

Chill out.

What's left to defend? Continued support isn't without cost and it's that's something I'd like to see so I give them money on occasion.

It's simple regardless of how much you want to dress it up.

Are you done now?

Hooray for Vorcha! I'm still waiting for my Volus biotic god though- imagine him somersaulting over cover.

promethius42 · 28-05-2012 11:52am

I seen somebody had modded the volus in on the pc version.

Only showed up in origin now, started download; 133MB excluding the patch that was out a bit earlier today.

Eggy Baby! · 29-05-2012 9:30pm

Bleh bad thing about this is that the new characters and stuff are bundled into the old equipment packs whereas in Resurgence they gave you a single free pack when you downloaded it so the new stuff was automatically available.

You say that but just finished a game with one of the Cerberus lash guys, i really like firebase goddess.

Gunmonkey · 30-05-2012 9:25am

Was thinking earlier in the week "Hope Bioware give us a flamethrower in the MP at some stage, would be fun".....then check the Vorchas abilities....Flamer

Also, new Package Delivery objective is a nice change, feel damn exposed as you walk back to the point though.

I've downloaded 6 Veteran Packs and a Premium Spectre Pack and have received zero of the DLCs content. Plus I downloaded like a dozen minipacks. The only thing I've seen are the maps the DLC adds.

Plus I've seen a few Cerberus and Quarian guys (and one Vorcha) and the Quarian guys are hateful because they keep steamrolling with the Arc grenade

I do, have both the Phoenix characters, and both the vorcha.

Gunmonkey · 06-06-2012 7:06pm

Picked up a Male Quarian Engineer, seems like he is gonna see some use after all

Hope I actually get my Commendation pack this time

Varik · 07-06-2012 6:44am

How many operations have there been at this stage.

Haven't played since promoting all my classes so i'll to grind but anyone playing at the weekend give me a shout.

noodler · 07-06-2012 8:17pm

Downloaded the latest patch there and then the latest DLC.

Now when I get to the title screen it just says "checking downloadable content" forever!

Kirby · 07-06-2012 8:25pm

Clear your cache and re dowload em.

I have gotten that alot since the new patch ( ps3 player here) after a quick google search the solution ( on ps3 atleast ) is to start the game first and then sign in.

Gunmonkey · 09-06-2012 4:25pm

Did a few games with the Vorcha Sentinel, amn is he fun. Spent the whole time running round melee-ing everything in sight

Pity the connection to most games was so horrible, had spots where my character jumped all round the map for about 30 seconds. Had less rubber-banding when I played on dial-up 10 years ago :mad:

:EDIT: Also, the person on Reddit who slipped the details of the Rebellion MP pack a few weeks before it was leaked by Sony has thrown up details of the next pack called Mass Effect: Earth Pack.

http://kotaku.com/5917131/strikingly-accurate-tipster-resurfaces-with-info-on-mass-effect-3s-multiplayer-dlc-extension

The fighting is fiercest when it's your home at stake! Mass Effect 3™: Earth adds mods, gear, and new maps for Rio, Vancouver, and London. It features 3 new weapons: Piranha assault shotgun, Acolyte pistol, and Typhoon light machine gun. Six new human N7 classes are also available: Destroyer, Paladin, Demolisher, Slayer, Shadow, and Fury!

Also has a tiny bit about the Extended DLC Bioware is working on to clarify the games ending, doesnt really give any details though.

An expanded ending for Mass Effect 3. Additional scenes and an extended epilogue reveal the impact of Shepard's choices on the future of the galaxy.

Conor125 · 11-06-2012 6:32pm

So whats the news on the dlc..?

Gunmonkey · 21-06-2012 11:29am

Next weekend event is starting tomorrow, Operation Savage.

http://blog.bioware.com/2012/06/20/operation-savage/

Allied Goal: Eliminate 7,000,000 trooper-level enemies: Cerberus Assault Trooper, Husks, Cannibals, Geth Troopers
Squad Goal: Extraction on any difficulty with the squad using a mix of Krogan, Vorcha, or Batarian classes
Special Circumstance: None

Squad Goal Success: Squad awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack

Fairly easy tbh, kill tons of easy mobs and then a single extraction with a set team.

If you have one of that set team, have a vorcha sentinel only so option of other on team are limited adn those that haven't them have a harder time.

The Extended Cut will release on June 26th on Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3 in North America and July 4th for PlayStation 3 in Europe.

Doesn't really matter since it will be on Youtube within hours but I've kinda gone past the point of caring to be honest. Will check out my ending (full paragon, destroy, Shepard dies) and that's it.

Clover · 22-06-2012 7:58pm

Playstation players get shafted again ? ffs is it so hard to release it at the same time across all platforms :mad:

It is very unusual, especially with free DLC.

Its out the same day as Dawnguard oh dear...

"The Extended Cut requires roughly 1.9 gigabytes of storage."

That is very large...quite unusual.

Zero-Cool · 22-06-2012 8:20pm

It's Sony Europe at fault. Free or not, Sony Europe are the last to release any DLC out of any region and any console. And to make it works, it's always the most expensive (when there is a charge on the DLC)

Kiith · 22-06-2012 9:43pm

Well, i guess i'll start another playthrough this weekend. Was waiting till they announced a release date, and figured we'd be waiting for a while.

Josey Wales · 22-06-2012 11:40pm

It is a pity we have to play through from the beginning of the Cerberus Base attack. I'd rather just have the option to watch the extended ending.

noodler · 22-06-2012 11:59pm

Its weird...Extended Cut just gives depth to the ending rather than changing it...so does this mean there is no ME3 single-player DLC? (Bar From Ashes?)

I think that is a surprise considering how much they put out for ME and ME2.

If they confirm the ending as it was originally interpreted then it doesn't leave them anywhere to go (imo) for single-player DLC.

Just put the difficulty on Narrative and you'll beat it in 40 mins

They could very easily do "flashback DLC" with most of the characters besides sheppard. Considering they have playable Krogan, Salarian, hell.. even Vorcha and batarians now in ME3MP, i would guess they'll do that rather than bring my poor old femshep back for some random mission that has nothing to do with anything anymore

Still, i'm looking forward to the extended cut, it's free and they've clearly put some effort into it.

I read a while ago that the development of this extended ending has pushed back story DLC. I would assume that means it is still coming just later than originally planned.

Hmm, I never really thought about non-Shepard single-player DLC.

Now that we mention it though:

I'd love to see the developments on the Batarian homeworld as the Reapers pour in and how they react, the sense of confusion before they are annihilated.

I can't think of too many other ones from the ME3 timeline though.

I have to get a lend of my brother's 360 at soems stage to play ME1!

I wonder if that means the DLC wasn't done by launch and they are still working on it or does it mean they simply don't want to release (already completed) DLC at the same time as extended cut.

Reloading at the Cereberus base and having to do the ninja boss fight again doesn't appeal to me!

Eggy Baby! · 25-06-2012 6:16pm

I logged in yesterday to find my Galactic Readiness at 64%. Spent most of today bringing it up to 100%. I now have 6500 war assets so I'll get the most complete Shepard/Destroy ending, and hopefully the Extended Cut will explain the scene at the end with Shepard reawakening.

Zero-Cool · 25-06-2012 6:17pm

Didn't even think of the galactic readiness, There's no way I'm grinding MP to get it to 100% again!!

Ah man, I totally forgot about that. I guess I will have to start playing the ME3 iPhone app again to get it back to 100%.

Just checked my Galactic Readiness rating, it is done to 50%.

Josey Wales · 25-06-2012 8:58pm

I just read on Kotaku that the Galactic Readiness rating has been reduced. You now need ~3100 in assets rather than ~4000.

degrassinoel · 25-06-2012 10:15pm

and the extended cut as posted on twitter by Jessica Merizan from bioware, is 2am PST which should mean that it's available for download on origin, xbl and psn by noon tomorrow, 26th june 2012

Zero-Cool · 25-06-2012 10:59pm

Just loaded up my game and saw I have my readiness at 88%, sweet! Total effective strength at 6000. Should be plenty.

I just played a few games of bronze to get the GR back up. It wasn't nearly as boring as it sounds!

Zero-Cool · 26-06-2012 12:27am

Ah no it shouldn't be. I forgot that if you sign out of PSN before loading the game, it doesn't decrease. Have a few new games so would prefer to play them then force a few games of MP to see an ending to a game I already cleared. I am looking forward to seeing whats different though.
