They won't straight up confirm it in those words, but they did vaguely suggest this, yes.
We shall find out for sure tomorrow.
Interesting, eh guess I'll throw in a few multiplayer matches just in case tonight.

Femshep chose Kaiden over space racist.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
I basically only had 3 squad mates in my play through so it was actually far worse in that respect. Not to mention how each character in the last one had their own unique, fun, episodic story that added a lot more detail.
Post of the thread.
Yes.

As someone who wasn't offended by the ending of ME3 and was actually annoyed that Bioware seemingly caved to the pressure to expand upon the ending, I'm pretty excited about this DLC now. I can't wait to see some wonky montage of everyone getting along from my perfect paragon playthrough, and a nice scrolling wall of text explaining what my squadmates are doing on paradise planet. And most importantly, now Bioware has the opportunity to show Tali's face beautifully rendered and animated in 3D. I hope that's what they've been working on these past couple of months.
Really? ME2 had all them daddy issues and ME1 was a snore-fest but EDI alone made ME3 the absolute worst for me. I played 100% of the allowed time with Garrus and Liara, and they actually got some pretty good lines in the game, so at least that was pretty good.
Like an hour or more of play time, jeez. Shouldn't there be a new thread in the gaming section since this is current news?
Yeah i brought EDI in my last run thinking she would do a bunch of jokes like when she's outside of missions, but no.
There was one part that was funny, and it was bringing her on the first Rannoch mission with Tali when she said "You'll be the first one to know if i decide to overthrow the humans." after Tali asked if she planned to do the same thing as the Geths.
I'm actually replaying the whole damn thing (lost my save). The gunplay is pretty nice on easy. The difficulty was never a factor in the ending so I'm just breezing through till the DLC drops.

I'm starting to feel a bit tingly.
I hope it's one of those endings where they show a quick clip of the character doing something mundane, and then the video pauses and text pops up explaining what happened to the character. All set to the theme of "Growing Pains".
I think I also enjoyed ME 2's squadmates more on the whole, but I liked EDI =[
or maybe it's that I like Tricia Helfer. Hmm...

I can live with this. It's not perfect, but it's a decent ending.
BioWare, well done. You suck a little less now.

Same here.
New Red ending: Nice, happy, complete ending.
New Blue ending: Bioware going TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL based on a joke sketch someone created not too long ago.
New Green ending: The creepy ending where everyone is assimilated. Resistance is futile.
New Rejection ending: Sad, depressing, but sticks to your pinciple (while giving middle finger to space brat) and maybe more realistic?

So they used their artistic integrity to insinuate that people who reject the ending deserve to be depressed?
NICE
How to enrage your audience? Oh, I don't know... calling them 'wrong' by implication?
I'm sure they didn't realize this until I just pointed this out.
(no really, I don't think they did. And there was no way to avoid it, since the ending is what it is anyway)

lmao, got the reject ending by complete accident. Not bad, I didn't think they would actually do that.

I'm pretty sure you're interpreting this in the absolute worst way possible.

I was just trolling for a moment there.
then again, over in the 'extended cut' topic:
btw: this thread is impossible to find manually. I looked in 'gaming' only to realize it was in community, and then I still couldn't find it. I know why Evilore did it and all, but finding a specific thread requires google now.

You have to go to DLC to install it. But it's still listed as "Unreleased".

So are we talking EC here? I want to spoilz.
New endings aren't much but a polished turd. But we were never promised anything else so that's fine I suppose.
The synthesis ending is still offensively retarded, but the inherent premise is so ridiculously dumb that there is no way of correcting that.
Keeping the destruction of the relays in the endings, and then instantly be like "lol jk we can repair them" is probably what irks me the most about this. It seems so completely fucking pointless to have ever brought the destruction up in the first place if it is without any consequences to the galaxy. Like, at all.
The new rejection ending is cool, but it seems inexcusable to not have had it in the game originally.
EMS is still complete snake oil, which I think is ultimately the biggest failure of ME3, seeing as how it originally seemed like a really cool system for keeping track of all your important decisions throughout the trilogy.
TL;DR: New endings are bad, but not what-fuck-did-I-just-watch-hair-ripping-out-infuriatingly bad as the original endings.
Did you honestly not expect that?

Yeah, the retcon of the Relays is the biggest "oops, we fucked up" concession ever.
I loved how they fixed the part where Joker looks back when he's escaping the shockwave though. Now he doesn't look behind his shoulder because they realized he's not driving a car. lol
The new "Refusal" ending is such a hilarious fuck you to anyone who doesn't like any of the endings though.

Oh I expected it. I just found it hilarious, especially since it's the same across all three except for the voiceover and the glowing eyes.
I agree with everything you said, especially your TL;DR. The extended cut ending just fixes a few plot holes and a big loose end, but it doesn't solve the main problem people had with the endings: the sudden thematic shift and the starkid. I'm glad that added the refusal option, but it's only a nonstandard game over. If they had your EMS affect the outcome of the refusal, then this would have been a lot better and would have made those useless points mean something.
Oops, we forgot a major plot point of the DLC that we released that lead directly into the third game.
I still laugh out loud when thinking about that. It's like whoever created the scene forgot he was working on a sci fi story.

Yep. It's the funniest part of the original ending, after I watched that video that pointed out how stupid it was for him to do that. lol
Not to mention the START OF MASS EFFECT 3 WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSEDLY IN BIG SHIT FOR- oh fuck it. They realized they fucked up and they fixed it.
You know, I wonder how the press will contort themselves to defend the new ending in terms of the Relay retcon. "The relays weren't destroyed in the original ending. You were just TOO ENTITLED to notice it."
