[Mass Effect] Operation Beachhead Next Weekend. Fun in the sun? MARK SPOILERS

I think they overplayed this a bit. ME3 does a much better job showing Shepard as human, with loads of doubt or private concern moments, and the option to have Shepard talk about retiring after this. Contrast that with ME2, where the krogan shaman appreciatively notes that Shepard loves battle while the camera zooms in on Shepard's smirk. While they work as separate games, the arc becomes confused.
WHich is the worst case, right?
Means they either didnt finish it in time even with a delay (it being the ending of a trilogy) or MORE LIKELY due to the tweet -> planned on selling(or due to outrage giving) us the ending as a DLC?
Thats shitty shit, right? I mean straight up evil to hold back the fucking ending from retail. "We always had big plans...." for your wallets.
EDIT- She was corrected as her statement that they "always had big plans ((for the ending))" is opants on head retarded.
-> Chris Priestly statement: People are reading the wrong thing into this. We have always had DLC plans for ME3. We said so long before launch. This is not news as ME and ME2 had DLCs.
So they always had DLC plans, NOT pretaining to an extra ending. Unless in like two weeks they drop an ending dlc on us with full cgi movies that took months to make.... then its dubious.
SO my post is MOOTED by prestly's correction.
The series really suffers from a lack of planning. They should have gotten their shit together in ME2. Even in ME3, it felt like some of the writers were on a completely different page from the two ending writers. At the very least, it would make some of the ME3 ending choices make more sense.
Gotten a Disciple yet?
Though that was only my first one. The rest could be lucky.
Wow. That is really something in the context of this whole drama. So they did rush out a poorly cobbled together ending with plans to fix it later? That really surprises me because the information we have suggests otherwise.
Er, the Disciple is great. It's ok damage but extremely low weight and has knockback. All of those things make it really good for various class/race combos. I'm not sure why you keep ragging on it.

They really need to like, call a meeting or something
Have some kind of unified fucking message company-wide, or don't put out any statement of any kind unless you run it past someone who knows what the fuck they're doing first
Because they are not helping people calm the eff down

Well unless the "proper" ending was going to be text only, it makes sense... idk. Can't say I even care at this point, just give me more MP content.
Asari Vanguard is a fun mechanically different take on vanguarding. been playing that instead of hte adept/engy/human vangod.
Not to mention that twitter account also has said some odd tweets to people saying the ending (spoilers now):
Are they totally going to go and retcon it with the indoctrination theory or some other "It was Shepard tripping balls" like explanation? Because they are seriously hinting at something like this recently, which has totally come out of nowhere but maybe they HAVE picked up on it as the easy way out.
I doubt it.
I think they honestly thought they were just helping the "speculation from everyone!" perspective and didn't really realize what they were feeding into.
I think their communication was that inept, yes.

So I wouldn't read too much into it. It's a harried PR rep blending a bunch of things up into 140 char responses. The first bit is about not changing the endings, since the new stuff is about "clarifying" them, which I read as "putting back the stuff we cut out when we went for a minimalist ending," and the rest is about DLC plans.
No point worrying about it until the real information comes out.
no, that would be the dumbest PR move ever in the world. They would cut Grissom Academy or Jacob's mission before they cut the ending. They'd be working on it instead of Javik.
You wouldn't think that if you were made of cereal.
"guis did any news yet"
"THEY SAID APRIL IT IS NOW APRIL WHERE IS APRIL NEWS WHAR"
"Forensic analysis of this tweet reveals Bioware was lying all along, as you can see in this diagram of a rageface."
Shadow of the valley of death.
Sweetie, Bioware is not helping shit when the underlings are tweeting shit that pretty much implies they have an ending they are holding back and have always planned ((due to extremely poor and ambiguous wording))-> and they later have to clarify it away in other tweets.
They should know at this point that the user base is a lil restless and things like that do not help.
Read the tweet Tal, bioware have started this latest round themselves
Because everyone is stupid. Seriously, I don't know how no one thought to record video of the suicide run in ME2 just so Shepard could say, "Look, even if you don't believe in the idea of a reaper threat, can't we all agree that this is fucking scary and that we should all be preparing for it right now?"
Heck, EDI gives analysis and commentary throughout the mission, so obviously there must be some sort of sensor feed going directly from the crew to the ship. And since that information is being analyzed by EDI, it must be in storage somewhere.
Shepard knew the council was sitting on their asses that entire game in denial. How in the world did "Collect evidence that Reapers are real" not become part of the mission?

On the other hand, I'd pay $$ if the DLC ending replaced Anderson with Rear Admiral Mikhailovich. There's a man who can get some answers.
"That-human reaper is a gimmick, Harbinger. Useless in a stand-up fight. This experiment diverted thousands from the indoctrination efforts. For the same price you could've had a batarian dreadnaught!"
"And we need to talk about the designers of your crucible, Commander. Prothean? Inuassanon? What are you thinking, Commander?"
Special Tasks Group. They get shit done.

Basically has a list of enemy stats on each difficulty.
That fits the ME universe. The major races were divided and petty. Without the magic of Shepherd, they all would have perished separately.
Why is STG the only competent group in the galaxy?
IT's hilarious everywhere!
Just had a game where my poor dude just clipped vertically through the map. not sure how it happened. :|

When did that happen?
I guess...
