None of them are super small or taken down, and both look pretty legit. In fact, one looks insanely legit.

The first url redirects to a 404, so either it's broken or taken down, and the smaller one could be given any context and people would jump to conclusions.

That cold be the planet Reach for all we know.


I'm not getting the 404, I'm getting the image.

And yes, he's does a 180.

classy. I must ask, is it worth ruining your relationship with Bioware/EA for the fifteen minutes of fame it gives you?

As of now, no. Probably never. It seems they are stuck on that planet forever. Sorry :(


Well not all of them, Tali and Garrus won't last long without food.

Honestly, dude, I gave you the proof and you ignored it. Not surprising from someone with your username, grammar skills, and use of GTFO repeatedly. Keep living in your fantasy world, I don't care.


No, i never ignored them. One of the supossed screenshots has been taken down and the other one is SUPER SMALL (suspicious isnt it?) and OBVIOUSLY fake.

I mean, c'mon, man.

I read up above some where that the people have the game already and saw these endings. Now, out side of only 23 hours( it took me much longer to make sure everything went smooth to make sure the Normandy survived the suicide run and make sure everyone was loyal) it makes sense they got some **** endings.

Also it isn't unheard of that companies add things in for cracked versions of a game. If those games are not legal copies, they might have coding that only allows cracked games to get those ending no matter.

Like with the Batman games, if you have an illegal copy Batman can't glide and in the Sims 3 the skeletons are stable and break often.

Just my thoughts.


23 hours doesn't seem long enough, sounds like a half hearted run through and the result was appropriate
was just reading through a review today that states this game is longer than the first 2....so i'm guessing the time you spend playing may give you a slightly better ending, hoping at least

You would think given that its a 23 hr play through. Plus what about the multi-player war assets? Since its not launched how would get them?

Well, yes, but he did extract the files and they seem to be the only endings.  But he's been wrong before, with the whole "MP is required" thing.  I may be getting them mixed up, but XIo is the one with the actual game; Tank is just a tester who was fired.  I'm not saying you're definitely wrong but it does seem as though these are the endings.  I'm not hugely disappointed but it's not the greatest news I could have heard either.


So who exactly extracted the files?

I've been reading Xio's early responses in the spoiler discussion group, where he seems like he's very careful about the NDA.  Did he later do a total 180 and start going against the NDA?  Or is this someone else we're talking about?

Xio did.  And yes, he did start going against the NDA later on.  I've heard that other people extracted the files from the PC version but I have no idea if that's true.

If it has been leaked, it's possible. It's about editting the .exe, and it's perfectly doable. It's been done in just a few days on Unreal Engine games.


It hasnt been leaked. The screenshots are fake, and one of them isn't there to begin with. Youre either lying or just want to whine because you can.

THE GAME HASNT BEEN LEAKED PEOPLE. THEY ARE LYING AND 99.9% OF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING DOESN'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE COMPLAINING IN THE FIRST PLACE!.


You realize people have had the space edition, right? Or did that little tidbit fly past your head?

Which is strange, as you should be a primary candidate for Newton's law of universal gravitation, if you know what I mean.

At least they have each other. If one dies, the other can eat the flesh.

Lovely. I am.

Nevermind, fixed. Where are my full-sized images of these things, though? I would like a screencap of Shepard space Jesus, to top it off.

I never understood the Kaidan thing. Sure, I stchooped him but that's because he was there. I was glad he was such a jerk in ME2. Made sex with Garrus guilt-free.

Oh, an apology letter? Let me read it to Garrus while we laugh.


Yes, yes indeed XD


Seriously, the male humans in the game couldn't have been more boring. Though I did dig Joker, just, his bones...poor guy.


I would have romanced Joker in a second if I had the chance.  At least he has a good sense of humor, Kaidan was cute, but a stick in the mud.  Aside from Garrus, the other LIs weren't appealing in the slightest to me.

But yeah, we're going to need more munchies. The ones I have aren't going to last much longer if the thread keeps on going at this rate.


My apoligies, gonna order some pizza then...what does everyone want?

Barbeque for me, with extra sauce. :D


I should prolly order extra, no doubt the moderators and watching this thread...

Agreed. They must be hungry too.

I personally don't care about the ending that much. I care more about the process to get to the ending.

Although, I hope the ending to be more varied, including one bad ending where everyone is screwed and the reaper kills us all, In terms of the current options, I dont see that much of a problem.

All Relays destroyed? We should go along our own path instead of relying on what is essentially a lure of the reapers.

All civilizations going back to dark age? Well, that beats being melted into milk-shake alive by twisted super AIs, and that certainly beats who knows how many species the Reapers has destroyed in the past.

Shepherd died? There has to be sacrifices, after all, we are dealing with an overwhelming enemy that has never failed before.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm probably alone on this, but I think the ending makes sense. After setting the Reapers up as being vastly more powerful than all other races combined, any kind of happy end would have been completely ridiculous. So, props to Bioware for taking their own lore seriously and not coming up with some silly deus ex machina.
It's not so impressive though that there is only one ending. There should have been at least a 'you lose'-type ending where the Reapers win and the cycle of destruction continues.


The thing is, the Reapers really weren't set up as some unstoppable threat. Consider:

Sovereign got its own stupid ass killed. Furthermore, it couldn't directly assault the Citadel itself to begin the new cycle because the Citadel fleet posed a significant threat to it. It needed the Geth and Saren, because it couldn't just sweep one Council fleet aside on its own. The Fifth fleet destroyed Sovereign, even after having an all-out slugfest with the Geth, despite the Alliance being the weakest in numbers and technology among the major players in Council space. Heck, why even waste its time with the Geth? Just have Saren walk into the Council chambers one fine afternoon, cap the Council and activate the Citadel relay -- no need to worry about the beacons, Cipher, Mu relay, Ilos or the Geth feint at all, because apparently Saren didn't even need the Prothean command program or knowledge of what the Protheans did and how, at all considering Saren didn't even make an attempt to contact Vigil.

That's before the Council races get their hands on the "super-advanced Geth ship" and reverse engineer it to advance their own military technology god only knows how far. Like, for example, the three plot-critical Normandy upgrades, one of which is explicitly stated to be from reverse-engineered from Reaper tech and the other two heavily implied to be as well -- that came from Turian and Quarian sources and not just Alliance or Cerberus. And the Alliance got their hands on the SR-2, reverse engineered it and got access to that tech, too. Just in case we want to pick nits about who has access to what tech, when and how.

Harbinger was just smart enough to be genre savvy, but not genre savvy enough to seal the deal by, say...self-destructing the Collector ship while Shepard was aboard and just writing it off as an acceptible loss.

It's firmly established by Vigil the Reapers' primary strengths are surprise and subterfuge. Well, those two elements are pretty well out the window. Outside that, all the Reapers really have going for them is strength in numbers, because they're obviously not remotely as smart or powerful as they're made out to be.

And, how is the Crucible and Guardian in any way not a deus ex machina? Pulling from Wikipedia here out of sheer laziness, a deus ex machina "is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object." That's...pretty much the exact definition of deus ex machina, to the letter.

I messed up my numbers. It was a 403 forbidden error, but I managed to get it to work. The image is there. I don't have context for it by any means, but it's there.

About the bink files.

Did they do all the endings first and then go through them? Since bink files today... don't have sound by themselves? (not to mention, even the ME2 ones are very small)

But the screenshots are fake. Why would a guy share a screenshot of the ending in super small size? Why not in full size? Because it's manufactured in photoshop of course and his skills arent that good.

How can they when it hasn't been cracked?
