Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC – A Second Chance to Save A Failed Ending
They are intended to give players a better insight as to what happens after the epic conclusion to an epic game and an epic series. The original endings sorely disappointed gamers and fans around the world because of their briefness and also lack of closure, failing to provide players with a satisfactory ending and leaving gamers clueless as to what happened to their relationships that they’d built up over 3 whole games!
Do the new endings do the Mass Effect fanbase service or do they just still fall short?
To start off, the whole entirely of the final section needs to be played again to get the most out of this extra DLC. That means trawling through London again and talking to all the characters again, battling through all the battles, yet again.
One plus of this DLC is that we finally know what happens to the majority of Shepards team mates as he and them team get hit by the Harbinger’s beam! Excellent.
Finally, when you reach the crucible, the dialogue between Shepard and the Catalyst has been majorly improved which allows you to prod further into the origins of the reapers and other specifics. Afterwards you’ll be presented with the options the player is still to make their usual choice, including a fourth decision which is to refuse to do anything. This new ending is the briefest and actually is the coolest choice to make, cause Shepard is the sort of guy who does things his way and in a sense provides the most clear cut of endings.
With the other three endings, the developers have expaned on what was originally there and you can see they have tried to provide a better insight as to how the war finishes depending on your final decision. You finally via screenshots and hear dialogue which explains what happens…wait…hear? Great…well are the endings much better? Well, they are better and do provide a better insight and you’ll be very happy to know what this time, your decisions do count so you’ll be informed on how your decisions affected other races and most importantly your friends.
These endings are well worth checking out if you’ve not already done so as you’ll finally see that your actions did have some consequences. They aren’t as well made as they could have or should have been but they’ve served their purpose and for that I am grateful!
Available now on PC and Xbox 360.
Available for PS3 from 4th July 2012.

Smooth-Tutorial I honestly didn't like this game when i first played it so i don't think i will buy this it didn't bring me new content of what i wanted.
It's a free DLC to make up for the appalling ending...

I am happy with the new endings because I can now reply the Mass Effect series and feel good about it. Now that all the things you do mean something.

It was okay. They certainly explained the things that didn't make sense in the original ending (Why joker was driving away from the fight, why people you where with in the final run magically appeared with him, etc.)
But they still have a chance to make gaming history if they just listen to the fans and give us the indoctrination theory.
Overall it's better :)
