In trying to fill the Mass Effect 3 Ending-shaped hole in my life, I’m playing Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom (which, so far, seems to be making more promises than fulfilling them… I get into any given section and, WHAM, plot exposition cut scene… just let me wail on some baddies, guys, I promise I’ll pay attention at the beginning and ending of levels) and, of course, Bride of Pin-Bot.
So… what are you playing?
I’m playing a 4X game called Endless Space.
Got BoP today — no nostalgia value for me, but it’s a great table. I’m now a proud member of the Billionaires Club.
I only rarely played pinball in arcades, and I didn’t invest any time into learning a table. It’s an interesting experience taking 10 minutes to read through all the goals and modes etc and to really feel like I know what to do next instead of just shooting for random ramps.
They’ve announced the new ME3 single-played DLC.

Chris Priestly asked if this would fix the ending, he responded:
I answered this. There will be no more new endings. I used the “quotes”
as we consider the Extended Cut the ending, the finale, the stop
whatever you want to call it of the ending of Mass Effect 3. We do not
plan to make new endings, give more closure to the endings, adding or
subtracting to or from the endings, etc. We are done with the endings.
That said, we are working on some very cool downloadable story based
single player content. In these DLCs there will certainly be elements
that will effect the end of the game. As Mike Gamble already said,
depending on what you do in Leviathan there will be new dialog with the
Catalyst at the end of the game. These sorts of elements are definitely
possible for future DLC as well.
And for all those stating “Well if you don’t X I am not going to buy
another game/DLC/etc from BioWare again”. I’m sorry you feel thht way,
but I understand it. That is your ability as a consumer. If a company
(us, a burger joint, a shoe store, etc) does not live up to your
expectations, you go elsewhere. I get it and I do the same thing. I do
not fault anyone for feeling this way. Hopefully, the DLC we come up
with or a future BioWare title will make you want to give us another
try.
However, if you don’t like it, feel free to leave. I’m sorry we have
disappointed you and as I said, we’ll try to make better content or
games in the future that you will hopefully enjoy. No one if forced to
be here. You don’t like it, feel free to take your business elsewhere
and stop trying to ruin the funn and enjoyment for those people who do
enjoy ME3 and the DLC.
Done now.
Hell, I just mentioned it in terms of filling the ME3 hole in your life.
My thoughts on the fanbase reaction to the ending and to other things like the face import have already been hashed out.
