Also, it doesn't sound like they're changing the ending, just adding some stuff to explain it, which is all they needed to do.

Yeah just think of all the movies that were ruined by "Director's Cuts" that added in cut content from the original.
Look, this has literally happened with every form of media other than video games. And it's free! Don't even have to buy the Blu-Ray to get the alternate ending or buy the sequel in which the author reveals that the main character never died at all! We don't even know if they're changing it or not. Honestly, a simple rewrite to fix the bad writing in the original could make people happy while still preserving the "artistic integrity" of the writers if that's what you're hung up on. And let's set something straight: people didn't dislike the ending just because of fan butthurt (although there is a ton of that, I'll admit). A large part of it is that from a literary perspective, it's pretty awful. -- http://img.imgcake.com/AitchDeeTee/panicdancegifta.gif http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif ...

Yeah there was a much smaller outcry over Fallout 3's ending, but Bethesda just went with it and changed things and took advantage of it for the postgame DLC.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that it's free. I've got pretty extreme feelings on that subject. If they were charging for it I would have been upset that except me to pay more money so they can fix their crummy ending and would never have bought it in a millions years, but because it's free I think they're pretty cool dudes. There's no in between.

Short cutscene showing the consequences of what you just did, narration, credits The difference is that DX's endings were all based on the characters you'd collaborated with, or opposed, the whole game. ME3's are 'make a random, meaningless choice. The universe is still ****ed, because Mass Relays explode with the force of supernovas. Whoops!'. That's the really annoying point: Regardless of choice made, those explosions mean the galaxy is now a lifeless husk. -- Twostuck, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/62168402 ...

Haven't played Deus Ex, but did the ending choices at least tie into the game's narrative from a thematic standpoint?
Because ME3's didn't. In fact they blatantly went against certain plot elements and foreshadowing from earlier in the story. -- You have no time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball. http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: HeroDelTiempo17 | #036 This is not true in the least. I have a feeling that this extended cut will just give a Zelda-esque "and here's what happened to the rest of the universe," which is just as contrived and lazy as the epilogue that's already in the game. -- ICON: When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set Bidoof on fire. ...

This isn't an argument regarding the quality of the game's ending - that's irrelevant - but saying that the ending doesn't touch on any of the themes (the value of synthetic life, humanity's ability to determine their own destiny, Shepard's struggle with free will, etc) of the series is incorrect.
