Okay, the people in denial that think this is a troll, please explain how exactly actual SCREENSHOTS of relays exploding can be faked? Please, please explain, I'm dieing to know what crap logic you can say to swim in denial a little bit longer.


For starters?  There's no source on these pictures.  No one can determine where those came from.

Calm down.  I actually think the leaked endings are real, but the screenshots can be explained very easily.  Perhaps they don't represent every ending.  Perhaps in the green and blue shots, they're not actually being destroyed.

From one relay, somewhere.  Not necessarily every one in the galaxy.  Look, I think it's true, too, but the screenshot proves nothing.

Don't forget "it's the journey, not the destination." So we should just sit back and enjoy the beautifully crafted afternoon drive. The fact that the car will soon go racing off a cliff and land into a giant pile of sh*t shouldn't' bother you because the journey was so pleasant....

(Again, I'm still skeptical of the whole leak and hopeful that Bioware is smarter than this)


It's multiple sources, and there's evidence of the ending in picture form.


All is lost. Abandon ship.

Also did you know: It's now possible to die 3 times throughout the course of the trilogy.

Cheap. Cheap

The screenshot of the man and child is from the after-credits cinematic. It's not Shepard. The child asks the old man to "tell him about the Shepard again."

Thus establishing the possibility that the entire trilogy was just a story being told to a child.


That picture?  Was already confirmed as a fake.  Someone found two wallpaper images that look remarkably similar to that piece, enough so that I don't think that picture comes from ME3 at all.


tell me more!

I don't have the pictures, but both the epilogue and the wallpaper had the same things: "Snow", the big planet and the small moon (looked the same size), "snowy" trees with some "dead". Difference is the lighting (wallpaper is "day", picture of the epilogue is "night"), the angle, and the added "Grandfather and Kid" walking through the "snowy" meadow at night. 

Reason for the quotation? Not sure if snow or something else.

I'll post it again.

Why don't you judge the ending when you have played the game?
It could make (more) sense if you play it.

Yeah, you havent even read the endings. GTFO.


Oh please, Ye of Great Knowledge and Authority, if my flippant commentary was so offensive to your sensibilities PM me what you have of the endings so that I may look upon thine works and despair.

Just because there are similar images online doesn't mean the ending screenshot is a fake.

Just because the ending screenshot randomly appeared on imgur with no source doesn't mean is real.

Sorry, playing Devil's Advocate. My honest opinion? Wait for the game.

I am ESTATIC at the possiblity that Bioware may end  the  triology on a  meaningful downnote.  Having the balls to do that would win MAJOR points with me.   TWO WORDS:  STORY INTEGRITY.  I am pre-ordering a second copy of the game to give to a friend!

Here is something for future referencing concerning Bioware credibility, based on the promises made about the game compared with what we know now.

gamerant.com/mass-effect-3-different-every-player-dyce-124489/

Specifically:
While fans are likely as disappointed that this game will be the end of Commander Shepard
as they are eager to see it come to fruition, the closing of the
trilogy brings more opportunities for the series’ writers. Executive
Director Casey Hudson explained to GameInformer that even though Mass Effect 2 was able to carry over hundreds of decisions from the first game, the third will have much more impact.As a result, the list of possible conclusions is longer than ever. For fans who felt that Mass Effect 2 made past decisions extra troubling, you’ll want to get ready for even more repeat playthroughs:

“Yeah, and I’d say much more so, because we have the
ability to build the endings out in a way that we don’t have to worry
about eventually tying them back together somewhere. This story arc is
coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot
more different. At this point we’re taking into account so many
decisions that you’ve made as a player and reflecting a lot of that
stuff. It’s not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where
you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B,
or C.“It’s more like there are some really obvious things that are
different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about
who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way
down to individual characters. That becomes the state of where you left
your galaxy. The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in
them.”


Reading that kind of gives me the impression there will be a wide variety of endings, from the scale of awesome good to ****** poor.  A reasonable consumer might read that and think that's what he's saying.  But a lawyer would read it and say, no he wasn't lying.  Specifically:
-"...because we have the ability to build the endings out..." - Having the ability to do something and actually doing it are completely unrelated, so no fib here.
-"That means the endings can be a lot more different." - Notice he says the endings CAN be a lot more different, not ARE a lot more different.  Not technically lying.
-"At this point we’re taking into account so many decisions..." - Thinking about something for a second and then disgarding it is technically taking it into account.
-"The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them." - The reaches of "sophistication and variety" to be defined by us, where we consider relatively minor differences to be sophisticated and of variety.

I think more the point is why people are angry is the fact that there is not one clear win situation for everyone. It's more of a... lose/lose situation

And the really important part here is that they always said Shepard's story would be DONE.

Until the DLC comes out.

Game Informer: With Mass Effect 2, you had a lot of well-done downloadable content that really tied in to the story and helped build toward the next game. With Mass Effect 3 being an end of the story arc, is your approach to DLC more multiplayer focused or more side stories? How do you see it fitting into the game?

Casey Hudson: There’s some multiplayer stuff, but we’re also planning some DLC on the single-player side, because it did really good in Mass Effect 2. There’s a reason why we can add stories to what’s there. The adventure-type DLC will happen in the time frame of Mass Effect 3, within your Mass Effect 3 storyline. It’s similar to how with Mass Effect 2, if you had a saved game from anywhere inside the game, you could go on to the DLC. We have a pretty neat concept for how it’s going to work.



I don't see them saying anywhere that Shepard would be in the DLC, post ME3 ending?

The "we have a pretty neat concept for how this is going to work" implies that they have to get around something (i.e. the ending). If it's during the main campaign then there's no need to come up with any extra explanations.

Who said anything about EXTRA explanations. The neat concept could be the simple explanation that it's during.

Or he just likes to talk to much and tried sounding more grandiose than it's due. Humans do that a lot.

I'm glad you're happy.  But why deny others the same satisfaction with the conclusion simply because they want something different?  Besides, a blah ending doesn't necessarily equal story integrity, anymore than taking a black and white picture makes it high art.

Another point to the people in denial, twice now a thread has been locked because the "The endings are already being discussed in this thread." and then got linked to here.

Topic 1, topic 2

That's confirming the spoilers in all but exact words.

Who says that not having a happy end wouldn't make a good end or wouldn't satisfy you?

Just wait until you have the game and played it to the end and than you can say the ending wasn't good or satisfying.

Theres not even a bittersweet ending really, unless Shepard dying alone and all of his friends and loved ones having to create an incestuous colony while starving in the middle of nowhere counts as "Bittersweet".

I didn't expect a completely happy ending, nor did I want one.
In turn, I didn't want to screwed over incredibly hard and have no real choice in the turn of events.

Yes, but they are also referencing how they did it in Mass Effect 2 and how this one is similar.
