Actually, Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII-2 is doing exactly that.

No, they're probably making a third game.

Well i haven't read any of the leaked script. Why you ask? Can't find any of it, so in the off chance some one has it PM a copy or something or a link.

With that said, I am not worried about the endings. Some people say there is only 6 others say there is a way to get a 7th. As with the other ME's I will have 2 or 3 play through' s with my imports and 1 or 2 from a fresh new Shep. We are all going to to DLC's and lets face it if the all the endings are crap then we all with voice this and they will give us a DLC with better endings.

Weather in death or by living my Shep's saves the galaxy as a whole then all of my Shep's and his/her crews have done there jobs. Life goes on both in the ME universe and in the real universe

I just hope there is at least 50 + hours of game play in the base game with some where around 60 to 70 total hours with all the DLC's

If this is my/our last Hur-Ra in the ME then lets go out with a bang instead of the wimpper that I keep reading here!

Really?  I didn't read any spoilers either, but all these speculations and talks about the suppose endings are really starting to get to me.  It's almost....depressing 

I want to go out guns a blazing, not be sent a drift with no one beside me!   

[marstor05]

thing is i understand the endings in a way... i just dont understand why you would finish a game series like this with no obvious happy ending, or no way to achieve one.

or is that the point?

So, Bioware's games are like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel.

Except your choices all lead to you falling into a pit and breaking your legs.

A pit of vipers.

But hey! You saved some people outside of the pit, who promptly don't help you!

I still say we can just rebuild all the tech we lost. Will it take time? Yes, but I think that the universe is far from boned. (Assuming that these endings are the real ones.)

"There a risks involved in how you get there or how you completely not get

you’ll see the outcome and there are huge risks to all of those decisions. It’s
not cut and dry."
"There are many different endings," he added. "We wouldn’t do it any other
way. How could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard and

more than that…"

Based on all the discussion it would seem he was able to overcome the problem of not being able to give everyone the same ending.

What does this mean? Do we get variations in the ending? Is there an ending where everyone reunites? I'm not going to be able to go through all endings next week because I'm going to want to do every side mission or get every resource because I'll be scared to not be prepared when the final battle comes......Does it even matter if all endings are tragic though?

That's a personal-analysis sort of question with a personal-analysis kind of answer.

But there's no way in hell they altered the endings from one week ago. Game went gold earlier this month.

didnt one of the writers leave?

Drew left.

I wouldn't blame him.

Drew left after ME1 and Mac Walters took over the game writing for ME2 and ME3. ME2 & ME3 also have a different art director.

so if there is no true ending - and someone is quoted as suggesting you hang on to your game saves - does this mean that ME3 is going to be followed by something which might actually sort this mess out?

If it is that's a blatant exploitation to get more money.  You can't sell someone a "finished" game and then a few months later say "lol just kidding, you get the real ending to this $60 game if you give us $20 more."

Haha, so what do they plan to do? Mass Effect: Stone Age? ****, that's what a lot of colonies will be reduced to. If they do try and sell the fix to this mess then we'll know that Bioware is truly dead.

Okay, I'm okay with the "ultimate sacrifice". Just give my Shepard and his crew a chance to die together. I don't know, throwing the Normandy against the ultimate reaper or something... I don't care how. Just let me see them telling Shepard, looking at his eyes: "It was an honour to fight at your side Commander!", or the opposite, Shepard telling everyone through the "intercom" that it was an honour to have them by his side. Them Joker throws the Normandy at whatever... This would be bittersweet. The other endings are just bitter, with no sweet.

MyShep: "I intend to kick their asses and live to tell"
Joker: "I'm glad you're in command here, not that suicidal freak!"

(J/K I'd be ok with that too)

These are all just variations on "the galaxy is ****ed and most major characters are doomed no matter what."

I'm actually not seeing anything along the lines of "the galaxy is ****ed," so far. Just that all the heroes die. Sound pretty *** **** heroic to me.

Hell, that much isn't even true.

Just because it's pretty damn implausible that the Normandy crew survived doesn't mean that wasn't what happened. And I'm not just spouting headcanon crap over here. The post-credits epilogue scene between the old man and his grandson is on the damn world the Normandy crashed onto. It's crystal-frelling-clear even just through reading it that the implication is they're descendants of the Normandy team.

Now, say what you will regarding Garrus and Tali's odds, of course.

Not only that, but nothing I have seen indicates that the world the Normandy crashes on is even deserted.  That's just something that seems to have become a meme here as things spiral out of control, like a game of Telephone.

Well, I've seen a picture of the world. No, I won't re-upload it -- I didn't upload it in the first place and it's long since been taken down. I won't get involved in legal issues like that, no sir. But I saw it with my own two eyes, and... it looks pretty deserted, I'd say.

I mean, you never know. But...

I guess... there are lots of places on Earth that would make the planet seem deserted if you crash landed there.  But it's possible it's deserted.  To me, that's the worst part of the ending, if it's true; everything else I can live with.  I suppose you could say the crew knew the stakes, but... it seems wrong somehow that it's the only scenario available.

I am getting a bad DA2 feeling now. They started putting up damage control posts, and now have installed the anti flame shield. Man what happened to Bioware?

EA happened 

so EA would want to murder a franchise that makes them money? i doubt that

That is indeed the implication. I believe the 'Destroy' endings feature the destruction of much more technology than just the Relays, though, so it's a matter of being blasted back into the eras of Jump Zero or getting shot all the way back to a more present-day sort of scenario.

Depending on how much I'm OK with the endings once I see them with mine own two eyes and all that, if I continue to replay the trilogy going forward Kaidan's talks about Jump Zero are going to prove all the more interesting to me, I guess.

[Sowtaaw]

So the mass relays are screwed no matter what?

[The Unfallen]

I mean...SERIOUSLY BIOWARE!? Great, now I get to sit and listen to a bunch of Master Chief fanboys drone on and on about how Master Chief is the greatest and how nobody, not even Shepard could defeat him because he DIED. Its going to be just like Halo Reach all over a-****ing-gain, listen to a bunch of MCtards drone on about how Master Chief is superior to mine and their personalized Shepards and Noble Sixes which is "them" in the virtual world, and a new round of Video Game companies promoting self-pity and hatred...

Gotta love 'em. (Sarcasm)

Not just this thread. Had some heavy fighting in the DLC thread as well. But yeah we can talk and argue as much as we want, just as long as we aren't fighting or threatening people, forum member or otherwise.

pretty much this.  ive got my problems with the DLC and such, but hopefully ive come off as at least civil.  there is a difference between venting frustration and being a jerk. 

back on topic though, as long as the endings make sense, and they are actually different and not just a rehash of the same thing, ill be ok with there being a 'not so happy ending'.

but thats just me.  some of my favorite works are:

pay it forward
24
prison break

none of which end on a positive note.

He might be talking about a patch or dlc to change the endings, but the only ones in game at least in the leaked game are the ones we already know about.

And then you go to the Citadel and choose, right? 

So what about Mass Effect 1 and 2 then?
