This game is a dlc setup

The main story in this game finished, what did not get fleshed out was minor side things they had going on behind the main quest.

Lol. The more I read your countless posts in every thread, the more I feel you don't even like the original MET. All you do is spew nothing but how bad MET is in your eyes. 

Your whole stance on defending MEA is that MET had all the same faults so why are people not enjoying MET. 

You got called out by someone who said you had an agenda and the more you post the more I'm starting to agree with them.  

Why not try to defend MEA on it's merits that you think it has rather than trying to bring down the MET to the same level as MEA which is never gonna happen. 

As to DLC, you will probably find people won't be buying them as much as those who bought the game. Plenty on here bought the game and didn't and still don't like what they bought, so getting more money from them is going to be a hard sell. 

Don't be surprised if only a couple come out or even just one. 

I read that as a way that they could forgo the expense having to animate an extra five races in the new engine for this game, and still have them show up later. 

I really don't get all the fuss. People complained after ME3 that the writers clearly got most of the way through the series without knowing for sure where it was going, and that ME2's plot was rendered completely meaningless by ME3.

Now they're actually trying to worldbuild, foreshadow and set up, and people still complain? Eeesh...    

The forums are generally full of whiny babies, it's normal. 

Main Story complete with some unsolve story and clue for next one. It's common thing on Movie, TV series and yes Game too.

Isn't everything in here understood to be an opinion unless someone specifically says it's a fact..

Does it need you to come in to this thread to mention this? Are you assuming everyone here is thick and cannot see the difference between an opinion and a fact? Who exactly are you helping out by stating the obvious or do you have nothing really to say?

And? Just because someone says its a fact doesn't mean it is on a forum talking about a game. 

If someone says the game is shit or the game is great, then it's assumed that it's an opinion as most people on here have the intelligence to know it's an opinion. 

Your one liners make you sound like you have nothing to really say and just feel the need to post. In my opinion...
 

I'm glad they left some things open and I look forward to DLC's and sequels. The in-game story was wrapped up well enough to my satisfaction that I don't feel like I've been deprived of anything or sold short.

Das just me tho.

I wasn't that impressed by the main story, but I actually thought they did a decent job of wrapping up the immediate A plot, while still leaving enough B plots for DLC (which is inevitable, so I'd rather see something that ties back to the main game rather than Pinnacle Station-type material) and enough of the over-arching stuff to set up a possible sequel.

Here's my take on it: Yes ME:A is a DLC and sequel set up (because DUH!), but the reason (I think) why some people (including myself) are irked about how it went down is really simple; It doesn't feel good, it feels unresolved, it feels like an empty ending.

Compare that with a book I just finished yesterday, 'The Spirit Thief'. At the end of that book there were unresolved things, hints about things I'll (hopefully) learn about in sequel books, but the story that the book was telling felt complete at the end. I was satisfied. Yes, of course I was curious about the loose threads, which were left loose on purpose. I attribute that to giving me just enough to make me excited to learn and find out about the mystery, unlike ME:A where I felt like I was given very little, too little, and where a few things felt like they were brought up and then...dropped.

I think it's a fine line to walk between making a story (which ME:A is suppose to be) feel complete and contained while leaving the reader/player excited and wanting more and having it feel cut off prematurely, as if something is missing (like The Order 1886 did, ended when the real game should have started). To me, ME:A failed at doing this, and that's why it feels like BW or EA did this on purpose to sell DLC to 'complete' the game or sell the sequel in order to complete the story.

In ME 1 and 2, the only thing that was really left unresolved was the Reaper threat (as far as I can remember). Too much feels unresolved in ME:A.

You know, considering Alec's work on AI, I wouldn't mind an interactive VI similar to Princess Allura's father in the new Voltron series, or Dr. Lanning in I, Robot, something like a final journal to leave behind to his kids that he made out of regret when the expedition was first underway. Of course, he'd have to do this with the expectation that he might die before he had a chance to say all of these things in person.
