Definitive disappointment

Yeah okay. I'll wait for Digital Foundry to confirm this, thanks.
If it is anything like the Pc version, the ending video won't even be rendered in 1920x1080. :lol

Now you can experience the awful ending in 1080p On consoles

Good if true, but I'd wait for a confirmation from the studio porting it. The official, direct feed screenshots of the Wii U version have all be 720p.
Doesn't the extra DLC, which they include on disc for free in this one, kind of fixed it?
I don't know, I never touched the game nor watched the ending, but I'm interested to buy it.

I don't want to be a Debbie downer or anything, but I need direct confirmation to know that this is true. I mean, games on the PS3 and Xbox 360 "run" in 1080P.
ME3 isn't exactly a looker, but this is good news nonetheless.
I heard they were adding a secret purple ending.

The DLC was free for everyone, and it 'fixed' a good few problems. The root of Mass Effect 3's ending disappointment isn't fixable without a retcon.

Yeah, they fixed it like putting a bandaid on an amputee
New ending is still terrible.
The game as a whole had atrocious writing and a largely nonsensical plot.
I see, but my question is: Is this game worth it?
I never played any ME games, but I heard they did something to quickly explain all the backstory and the choices you had to make. Is the game bad or is the ending SO bad that it ruins the entire game to a point of reaching a buyer's remorse state?
Damn, ok I see.

That's only a question you yourself can answer after you play it.

ME3 is the best game of 2012, of course is "worth it".

The value of Mass Effect 3 is relative to player investment, and it's a long, tiresome debate depending on which parties chose to participate. Mass Effect 3 Wii U features an interactive digital comic covering the first two games to bring new players up to speed, rather than dumping them directly in the events of the end of a trilogy (which would be dumb). Ending aside, which is terrible, I'm in the camp of thinking the game is still quite fun. But my personal value of the franchise is tightly linked to having played the past two games, experiencing all events of the trilogy first hand with my own character and not through a summary comic. Personally, I think Mass Effect 3's value as a stand-alone title is far, far less than for people who have stuck with the trilogy, ending disappointment or otherwise.

A lot of people greatly exagerate about the ending. It's bad, but not game/franchise ruining bad.
I hope they're not stupid enough to sell it for 60$ when all other versions are like 40$.(At least the PC version is)
It is a polarizing game (which is technically every game discussed across online forumsI see, but my question is: Is this game worth it?

). So, if you have the money: buy it and play it for yourself.It is my favorite game of this year and my top played one too (over 120 hours...not including multiplayer) and got all achievements too...and I also played the first two ME games.
My only problems with the ending, were fixed with the DLC so in that aspect, I was more than satisfied with it.

Your mileage may vary, but I say it's game/franchise ruining bad. I lost all will to ever replay the games. I didn't get the extended ending because I didn't see the point, and I won't be getting any other DLC. The ending was just utter nonsense.

I'll buy it even if it's on par, damned Xbox died on me before finishing the trilogy.
Going to GameStop to add this to my pre-order and drop some more funds on my existing pre-order (Assassin's Creed).
I loved KOTOR and its sequel but I couldn't get into the original Mass Effect and haven't bothered to try its sequels. However, I'm a bit excited about the Wii U launch and I think I'm gonna drop for Mass Effect 3.
Still have no interest in any Nintendo developed Wii U launch games. Unless Pikmin 3 makes it.

In my case I can say the ending, bad as it was, doesn't negate the 100+ hours I spent with all three games. I was already deeply invested and thus I could shrug the ending off. For someone that hasn't played any of the games, though, I dunno. I guess it all comes down as what your expectations on the game are and how important closure is to you.
I don´t think that NP could misinterpreting that way.

It's EA. I expect From Ashes, Leviathan, and the Firefight Pack to be sold separately, alongside a full priced Wii U port. There's a reason the only DLC they're marketing as "ON THE DISK!!!" also happens to be the 100% free DLC for everyone.
They could, because it happens all the time.
I guess that depends on how seriously you take video game stories.

Why not?
i hope it performs well!
Those Mario sprites take more processing power than you think
Nintendo might be adapting to new technologies. Also, wasn't there a rumour that said a few 1st. Part titles will be 1080p?
4670? The most recent developer quotes were saying it was a derivative of the 7000 series. And I'm sure it could run 1080p30 if you tailored the settings to guarantee it.
New Super Mario Bros has turned into Madden. I wouldn't expect much from it. Honestly, from Nintendo... wait for Retro.

I thought all of the rumors have said R700? That's the HD 4000 series.
Thank you guys for the answers, I'm still considering it, I'll see if they add all the extra stuff (From Ashes, Leviathan, etc.) because this stuff would make the game worth the full price, if not I'll wait post-launch for a used version, which don't bother me that much because I'm against giving away money directly to EA if they use the lame way.

"The Wii U will be getting the mass effect possible on a console."
I think they accidentally a word.
Also, I absolutely hated the game part of the first Mass Effect and think that the sequel was leagues better. I haven't played 3 yet, but when I do it'll be on Wii U.

*fansite
*paraphrased
*no confirmation
*unproven developer track record
*no other wiiu release to be rendered at 1080p for its launch
so, what's the over/under on this being another "will support resolutions up to 1080p" moment?
i'm not gonna shit on it just yet, since the only thing the touchpad is rendering is a 2D ui and that little bit of extra gpu bite has gotta go somewhere, but tread carefully.

Amd 7, which is the Hd4000 series.
A console that for all intents and purposes is closer to this gen than supposedly next, most games were not 1080p native, they believe for this system's first batch of games will also be similar
there's also the ram issue. 1080p assets are gonna have a real hard time squeezing into a gig of shared memory.
