The most important aspect of the Extended Cut DLC is that BioWare didn't have to make it, nor did they have to make it for free. They could have crossed their arms and refused to change anything, but they instead acknowledged some of their fans' complaints and ultimately made the ending better.

The extended cut comes, fixes the ending and kills the indocrination theory (thank you) I'm sorry for saying that but I'm not really a fan of the "and it was all a dream) idea but hooray new ending! Pros: fixed most plotholes, endig now cause real difference instead what's your favorite colour (red) joker has a reason to leave the battle, no need to play multiplayer as it lowers the war assets need for the Shepard breathing scene, closure, Normandy leaves planet, all your choices matter in the epilouge, fixed most complaints, ok I know you won't agree with this one but kills the "and it was all a dream", proves bioware cared what we thought and gave time and effort rather then telling us screw you like most would Cons: should of changed the ending choices cause those choices were still bull$@&t, Shepard dies in the synthesis still (at what point did the god child say it required a human sacrifice, how come the refusal endig can never be won even with loads or all the war assets, why does this have even needed to exist!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

IGNORE THE HATERS/FANBOYS - READ SOME PROFESSIONAL CRITIC REVIEWS. Anyway, Great DLC ! Explains the endings and makes much more sense. Great job of filling in the plot holes.

Exactly what I wanted from the DLC. Fills in many of the plot holes and makes sense of the endings. Adds a new ending where the cycle continues. The best thing is that is shows how the civilizations continue and rebuild depending on the final choice.

This ending should be in game in first place. Some of major plot holes was patched in Extended Cut. One can say now game is fully finished product. But still I have expected MOAR from Bioware and Mass Effect franchise, at least comparing this ending with jaw dropping Suicide Mission from Mass Effect 2. All things considered next time I will wait before pre-ordering EA game.

I liked it until I watched the other two main endings. There is a fourth, hidden ending, which is probably the the best of them all, as it actually makes sense, but even the hidden ending is way too short to be taken seriously. All of the main endings are EXACTLY the same, with just a slight variance in the why and how, but not enough to be significant as to explain hundreds of hours of previous gameplay. Ever since Bioware was taken over by EA, their games have played to some unknown quantity that some group of out of touch people think is what people want out ****. It's depressing.

When i heard about the extended cut DLC, i thought to myself: cool, they`re going to fix the endings! Then i read where ray muzyaka stated that the EC was little more than an explanation for what happened, and not an actual fix. And proceeded to break my copy of ME3 in half. I don`t care what bioware ''tweaked''. I don`t even care what they added. An explanation was the last thing ME3s ending needed. If my dog takes a s--t on the sidewalk, i don`t explain to the poeple who stepped in it why he did it: i clean it up. For christs sake, why didn`t they just go with the indoctrination theory? It would have at least preserved the integrity of their series, and would have won back many of its former fans. As it stands, there`s no future for the mass effect universe. The god childs continued existence ensures it. Good job casey hackson!
SummaryThe Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut is a downloadable content pack that will expand upon the events at the end of Mass Effect 3.
