A lot of people were complaining about past decisions not showing and unclear stuff like what happen to the galaxy after everything blows up and how did Joker flee and grab our crew on the ground before that. That stuff should be shown.
Will give it a shot I guess, I haven't touched the game since like the week after it came out.
It's sad that such a terrible ending to a trilogy can turn you off a series, I loved playing the ME games over and over but these days I just think "meh", even the novels I picked up just before ME3 release I just can't be bothered with.
I hope something good comes out of this extended ending, I really do.

I have to freshen up on my complaints of the series storyline and the plot holes. Because honestly Bioware dropped so far into irrelevancy after this game that in the 5 or so months it has been I have forgotten mostly everything about ME's universe and plot.
They had to do something. The whole of the internet turned on them. It's been hilarious watching the damage control since the game came out. They actually seem to think people still care about this franchise.

Recent experience has taught me not to look forward to anything because you'll get your soul crushed with the disappointment so I'm expecting this to be everything the say it won't. I'll still go through the ending again though because I do like the actual game part of ME3 (though the Earth bit is probably the weakest. Gameplay wise I mean).
EDIT: Also I'm curious to see what the BSN think of it. Always a good source for meltdowns.

I will have to decide if it is worth my time to do the last mission up until end. Is that all this DLC is adding is just some more closure at the very end?

Well this will be really interesting.
I'm a ME franchise fanatic and I was utterly disappointed by ME3's ending (and partly by the whole game) ... but I'll still give it another playthrough (a 100% completion) and see this "Extended Cut". I doubt they'll fix anything. They said they won't change the ending, just "elaborate" on it. For me, there's nothing to elaborate. It's horrible and unworthy of this great franchise...
We'll see... after July 10th when I'm back from vacation.

He died so we wouldn't have to see the ending. Don't ruin his sacrifice.

Bahahaha. Ok. Bioware will never be redeemed in my book.

My brain tells me "this is going to suck just as much as the original ending, don't believe in BioWare you ignorant slut." But my heart tells me "just suck it up and get that galactic readiness back up and see it for yourself because I'm a masochist."
Since their are just "expanding" my expectations are really low. Can't wait for Bioware to show me how their ending was brilliant all along...
Half of the 1.9 GB are probably those cutscenes rendered with the in-game engine but saved as .bik files, a lot easier and cheaper to Q&A.

I've been expecting a short cinematic that was supposed to 'somehow' make up for the awful endings, so I hope it's going to be more than that.
Not really having high hopes since Bioware said they supported their ideas and weren't going to change the ending. Doubting how explaining it will suddenly make it a good, if not better ending, but I'll wait and see.

Mass Effect 3 did a good job of diverting all the rage from Deception.

So I'm going to have to replay that painful set of battles on Earth? And I'm going to have to get my Galactic Readiness back to 100% after not having touched the game in months? God. Fine. BioWare, I hope this is worth it.
Deception was always a joke, but the shock and disappointment at Mass Effect 3 made it more of a travesty. (of course Mass Effect 3 is also a joke now that the bitterness has worn off)
We don't know if you'll have to work on galactic readiness. The only thing that affected in the previous ending was you get a 5 second extended clip at the very end of the ending, that really resulted in nothing. But we don't know if you'll have to play MP for the new extended ending.

Mass Effect 3 disappointing everyone volume 2? Can't wait!
Some people actually seem to think getting readiness is a chore? But the multiplayer is very fun... hell it's MORE fun than the campaign for many people. Plus you have the multiplayer event this weekend to get special weapons. And 100% is not necessary unless you skipped a lot of quests.

I'm curious about further DLC. I think I'd rather wait a year for it all to be out, and give it an entire second run with tons of DLC like I did with part 2.
Anything that requires you to play MP for SP purposes is a chore and quite frankly should be illegal. But like I said it didn't really "require" you to play before unless you put so much weight into that meaningless 5 second clip.

You have to replay the cerberus base and the ending part. So yeah a few hours.

Cool, but I'll probably just watch on YT. Don't feel like playing through

waste of resources, no one is going to be satisfied, i wouldnt be surprised if it just made for another shit storm wave.
endings just are that they are a end to things.

But you don't have to
Yes, but your Endgame save that is made after you beat the game brings you back before the Cerberus base assault since thats the last point when the entire galaxy map is still open.
I know. I said that in your quote...
