Even if it's just pre-rendered that's still a hell of a lot of videos - the movies folder in the PC version is 3.19 gb for the entire game.

Or a lot of pre-rendered footage.

Parn do you just enjoy shitting on my hopes and dreams?

The expanded ending is actually just like a Metal Gear's, a half hour plus of incoherent rambling over a pre-recorded video that includes a lot of live action footage.

I've got an hour bus ride home before I even get to start downloading it. Then I have to redo like 90% of the game.

I love the extended endings. They fix all of the problems with the original ending, allow the player to question the Catalyst, add scenes to explain stuff like Joker being in FTL travel when the beam hits, and add a new ending.

Anyone who is still complaining about the endings after his is just a whiner now, no joke.

Anyway, it's a dread that nobody knows the name for, like those little square plastic gizmos that close your bread bags. I don't know the name for those either."

You don't have a save at/before Cerberus base?

Yet people are still complaining. I haven't gotten to London yet, but I'm interested in the new ending. Or all of them, really.

I think my last save was a new game as a femshep, but my main save was a restart and I just got to Eve.

Most of the nonsense was fixed. It's closure, at least.

Code:

LOL @ shooting Casper. I really liked the new ending, since it's the one that resonates the best with Commander "I won't let fear compromise who I am" Shepard.

Eh, before I even saw "Indoctrination Theory" I thought what was happening right after
you get hit by the Reaper beam was a dream sequence because the pile of coincidences
and absurdity was too ridiculous and lazy to be real. Apparently I gave them too much credit?

Put me in the "just a whiner" pile.

Watched the "green" ending on Youtube... I'd save calling people "whiners" for anyone dumb enough to stay FURIOUS about the ending and/or demand another one (probably implanting the indoctrination theory). It's an improvement, but to me now it's just limp rather than a profoundly awful ending. Also:

Code:

seeing everyone with glowing green eyes would make me want to choose differently from synthesis.

Refusal ending is the best ending. By far.

Yeah, I actually liked how that one worked out. And unlike the indoctrination theory it's the kind of fan conclusion that'd actually WORK to implant.

Not sure if I want to just watch them on youtube or play through my last save again... I'll probably play. Put on the turtlebeaches and crank it. Loved the music when you're making your choice.
