The hidden ending is Shepard inhaling after you choose 'Destroy'.

I will not.  Sacrifice.  The Geth.

And you won't. All synthetics die, the Citadel explodes, the relays are destroyed... and then Shepard wakes up in London because it was a FAKE ending. It isn't over yet.

Demand a real ending! Hold the Line.

 got the credits theme going loud and clear, SIR!!

Started my third playthrough. Feel even more depressed after second one. But I still keep telling myself there's gonna be a happy/different ending if I play this game some more. Gotta donate to them kids, maybe that'll cheer me up.

[Lozark]

I've never held a line before.

You know what I like about those articles? After the war will be over, after we win or lose, we will remember who was our ally and who was our foe.

IGN is just losing its audience right now.

Yep all these sites bashing us? Never reading anything from them again. You can't trust sites that are getting paid off by the game companies.

Paying off websites for good reviews everyone already knew about, but now they've added PR services as well.

I'm dulling my grief by watching Babylon 5. Proof that sometimes the audience's faith is rewarded and the conclusion to a 5 year story can be fitting. Given all the similarities and references to B5 in Mass Effect, I thought they might draw on the ending for inspiration. Yes, there were prices paid, the hero dies in the end, millions lost, there are negative consequences for what was accomplished - but you feel hopeful, like it was worth it in the end.  Guess I was wrong.

Please, please, let me rage against these two articles from kotaku...

Self serving arrogant pompous.....

This is good.

It shows they're getting more desperate in their attacks against us.

Like it or not, we've already stated that regardless of the endings, the donations go to a good cause.

If he has to hate on us for donating to sick kids, that is desperate. He's really a poor excuse for a human being.

Which will also, in the end, discredit him.

Some developer quotes from pre-release

"There are many different endings. We wouldn’t do it any other way. How
could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard and
then be forced into a bespoke ending that everyone gets? But I can’t say
any more than that…"

"Whether you're happy or angry at the ending, know this: it is an
ending. BioWare will not do a "Lost" and leave fans with more questions
than answers after finishing the game."

"I honestly think the player base is going to be really happy with the
way we've done it. You had a part in it. Every decision you've made will
impact how things go. The player's also the architect of what happens."

and of course:


Hold the line!

Dont know if anyone saw this Gamespot article
http://www.gamespot....ending-6366066/


my response:
Subjectively, it is a piece of art.
Objectively, it a product that is flawed. All you have to do is read what bioware said about the ending before it came out. They describe it as being pretty much exactly in line with what people are demanding for now. They didnt deliver. If I asked Monet to commission a painting and it ended up looking like crap, Id demand he fix it.

I was just about to post this article, and even something similar to the point you made.  

As an design student, most of our training teaches us that, yes, while we are still artists creating work, we are designers with clients.  They tell us what they expect, we agree, and get working.  If our work does not meet our client's expectations, we can't sit there and complain when they tell us to change things.  We either fix it, and get paid in full, or back out, and lose half of that money.  That said, the video game world works differently, but the way this article goes on about talking about art and what it is... just rubs me the wrong way.

Gotta be up in 4 hours.  I should go.  Hold the line!

Time to watch some hockey highlights and get some shut eye.

So talking to my friend tonight who just beat ME3? He was going through what a lot us had. He went quite for a bit then sent me this over messenger.

Friend : Okay, so I've written a new ending for Mass Effect 3. One I think is better.

Me: nods

Friend: So here's how it goes. First, the Catalyst explains Shep's choices. Then, Shepard turns around and shoot the Catalyst in the face. Since the Catalyst is a hologram, it doens't accomplish much.

Friend: The Catalyst stares at him for a second before saying, "What did you hope would would accomplish?" To which Shep replies, "A gun's cold report is the only thing that reminds me I'm alive." Then the kid stares at him for a second more before saying, "Perhaps you sustained brain damage in that last battle. Let me consult medical logs."

While the Catlyst's back is turned, Shepard runs up to the beam, takes out his space hamster (which he carried for good luck) and throws it in, performing the synthesis between machine and hamster-life across the galaxy.

We all become one with boo? Squeek?

"Protecting artistic and creative work" What the hell?

If someone makes a horrible sculpture I'm going to tell him that it looks like crap, why lie to him? to not hurt him? so he can live with an illusion of his abilities?

American Idol.... tons, tons of people who can't sing and they don't know it because someone told them that their voices are beatiful when they are not. When they go to the show, they end up embarrased, angry and terribly sad. Why? Because they were living a lie.

So, I'm not going to remain hidden and let this universe (which we all love) burn to ashes just because I have to protect the "Artistic vision" of someone who doesn't have one.

Just read the Kotaku article titled "Charitable Donations Don’t Give You The Right To Demand Changes To Mass Effect 3"

And honestly, I think I'm done with Kotaku. Instead of being happy that all this money is being raised, he just attacks us all..
Most other websites I have read have been on our side - but with good reason and they have actually addressed both sides of the coin. They have pointed out what Bioware promised and then failed to deliver.. Nope.. Not Kotaku.
I don't think anyone has full out demanded Bioware do anything. We've all made a stand and asked that Bioware deliver what they originally promised us.

But what's that line.. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story?

wtg Kotaku... wtg

Off the subject, but in another thread I read that SWTOR is doing a free weekend starting Thursday... Is someone trying to take attention from this whole thing?

Oh well we don't let these kinds of things keep us from holding the line.

Many of us, SW:TOR players are cancelling our subscriptions because of the way Bioware is handling this ME3 thing. This is just a PR stunt to bring more players to the game, but it's doomed to fail, since long before ME3 release, SW:TOR was already suffering badly. Just another nail on Bioware's coffin...

SHM so that's what it's coming to huh?

Normally I don't wish failure on anyone, but  it's very sad when you ignore the real issues by hiding behind a marketing stunt hoping people will think of you in a new light. I hope people don't take the bait and tell these guys in no way shape or form can they can't be lured to the van with free candy.

Dont they know the truth will set them free of all this?

I'm seeing more negative posts that I would like lately. Stay hopeful and friendly, and don't insult anyone or rage!

Well, BioWare can't ignore 27 k Dollars we collected for good deeds, can they?

Don't forget they have retailers droping the price for a game thats not 2 weeks out of launch. I would say they are in desprate damage control mode now.

Ya.... something tell me the people who make the calls for ending use that amount of cash as "around town money".

Thou I am thrilled people are doing so much good for the sake of a simple task it just.
