Mass Effect 3 patch released this week

too little, too late.  me3 killed the magic and my meu series became the lemmings of 2012 and committed suicide by jumping of my shelf into the bin.  :(

Wow.  People still crying about the ME ending.  It's been quite a while now.... please shut up.  The old ending was sub-par, certainly not bad enough to ruin an amazing trilogy.  The new ending was fine.  No complaints.  But even if I had complaints I WOULD THINK AFTER THIS LONG I'D HAVE GOTTEN OVER THEM.  Self-entitled crybabies. 

Here's an idea - how about releasing less downscaled versions of the textures for PC ME3 players as opposed to the low resolution console textures we're currently stuck with? These assets do exist - BioWare simply haven't released them.Further, why are PC players still being treated terribly by BioWare in this regard? No hotkeys for the Journal or Squad screens, no controller support, broken keyboard support in menus, no graphical options and the list goes on.

BioWare/EA make significantly more profit per PC sale than they do from each console sale, yet they still treat their PC customers with complete contempt. This is a worrying trend (Darksiders II is another recent example), with a few studios thankfully doing the right thing and setting an example to be followed (Gearbox, Square Enix, Rocksteady)

Until this game hits Steam minus EA crapware, I don't care.

Thanks Laura

When did Casey Hudson go from Project Lead style positions (you know, actual game development) to Executive Producer?  LOLWUT?  Granted, if he is continuing on as an "executive producer" that means he would have very little to do with any decision making for Mass Effect going forward.  Which would be fantastic, since Mac Walters and Casey butchered the end of 3.

Wait, didn't we defeat the reapers.. ain't we done ?

Is this patch going to fix the ending, or umm the newer crappy extended ending?

I want a totally different ending.

Bit late for a patch I purged this trash from my system months ago, even the multiplayer got stale after a while and that was the almost the only thing they did right.

After looking at the fixes, it still doesn't look like they addressed the problem of achievement counters getting periodically reset.  WTF?

Am I the only one who's appalled that this is the 4TH PATCH FOR A GAME THAT HAS BEEN OUT FOR JUST OVER 9 MONTHS???  Back in the bad-old days of "ship then patch," us users would crucify publishers for releasing software this buggy; based on the response from the BioWare forums, it's all sunshine and rainbows that they fixed a few more of the issues (but not all of them, apparently!).  Has it just become acceptable that we're buying flawed software, and to be thankful when the company releases a patch to correct issues that SHOULD HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED DURING DE-BUG AND BETA TESTING???  ME3 is the buggiest console game I have ever played, and one of the buggiest games I've ever played, and I'm someone who actually bought and played Diakatana!

The new mass effect game is gonna be called Mass Effect Garrus, where you play as Garrus the bounty hunter. If you got SPOILERS the everyone dies ending, then as soon as you load your savegame from 3, you get a GAME OVER screen.

Just kidding, they have got to stop it with the whole game-importing thing, I mean sooner or later they're gonna have a giant tangled ball of plots where plotholes are impossible to avoid. We'll see what they do.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea for someone else to take over for Mr. Hudson.

This train-wreck just can't stop....

The problem with ME3 it's not "just the end," the entire story in the third game is forced and full of plot holes and things that make no sense, the ending it's just the tip of the iceberg. To properly fix the ending, they'd have to re-do large parts of the main story that affect the ending, including but not limited to take into account some very big plot holes that should have highly affected the story but didn't, entirely re-doing the crucible and how it is treated throughout the whole game so it doesn't turn out to be some cheap deux ex machinima at the end, properly taking care of the Cerberus situation (I agreed with everything TIM said in ME2 AND ME3 and ended the ME2 on good terms with him, they never even bothered to explain why I'm suddenly their enemy in ME3), etc...

In other words, it's never going to happen. The ME series is ruined, and there is no going back. *shrugs*

So... ME3 wasn't completely tested out when it was released in March? It becomes more and more obvious everyday that ME3 was rushed.

All this hate for Mass Effect is childish which spills over like a kicked vomit bucket when ever ME news is posted. They made 3 fantastic games and people just rubbish the entire series due to 15 minutes at the end.

Lets judge them by the first 100+ hours of gameplay and not the final 15 minutes, huh?.

Is this game still not fixed?

ME4?

They are still trying to fix this steaming pile of garbage?

Hopefully they'll have this merged in into the trilogy box set

they wont let this game die, will they?

Well apparently (from the BW forums) this was really important to some people.

I wouldn't have thought that people still care about ME3 at this point in the year.

I want steam to sell EA games again.

Mass Effect is the best game ever!
