I wonder if BioWare realized they committed suicide with those endings.

I tend to think they really thought they were creating the first piece of "gaming art".  There are so many themes in that story, the problem is theme were created as a by product and I think that is the theme most of us ended up playing.  So they had no control of the story for a long time and didn't realize it.

It would be my impression that they were creating a segue into other areas of income such as  Comic books ( where the ending would work because by nature, comics are forgetable ) and multiplayer worlds where none of the ends ever happen.
This theorem is supported in the Forbes article where in Joel Tevaras is quoted as stating:
" You may  think that a game’s ascendancy is reliant on
its smaller, more hardcore community or followers. Sure, those fans are
the backbone to a game’s success and help to keep it alive when it’s no
longer commanding the headlines but at the end of the day — publishers
and developers alike — seek commercial success. Big market appeal is the
name of the game here and as much as you don’t want to accept it, this
is a business first and foremost."

Yes. Somehow... it'll happen.

Ok. So after reading the article, my ideas on the ending have become more concrete. I really think Bioware has more to this ending.

The finale hours of Mass Effect 3 thing makes it seem otherwise.

There has always been a little bit of mystery there and a little bit of interpretation, and it’s a story that people can talk about after the fact." ~Casey Hudson

I thought you said guys said it wouldn't leave us with more questions than answers!?

i swear i only had like one question answered the whole game and that was the reapers questionable "purpose"

Anyone remember that rogue AI from the first Mass Effect? The one that you let go? Shame on you.. shame on you all, you unleashed Citadel Kid > (okay I did too hahahah)

Umm I think that was EDI D:

Nah, that was the one on Luna (the Moon)

Speaking of...did anyone else spend ages listening to the Rachni Song on the moon. I loved their music....

Bravo Xelv88!!! Bravo!!!

Page 1373.  Long post.  Read it. 

Made the mistake of wandering back in here, but reading that, and how true it rings, and how likely stuck with this we all are.... i almost want to cry.  I expect within a week i'll be shutting down my swtor account, uninstalling Origin, and avoiding EA like the plague.

EA's pretty much like "Nooooooo.  They're independent!  They do what they want!" at this point hahaha.  However rEAper, I consider, an additional point of pressure to ensure Bioware is, at the very least, listening to its community.  Sadly that means I hold them both to the same standard which means I don't buy EA games until I'm happy with Bioware. (I'll still play the games I have... I'm not stupid afterall.. I paid for them)

Planning a viking funeral for my copy of ME3. This ending can only be purged by fire. And I can't stand looking at it any longer. Might record it and upload it.

No, EDI is the rogue AI on the moon.

There was a 'mini mission' on the Citadel, about a rogue terminal that was stealing people's money so that he could upload himself somewhere.

I'm curious to know the actual percentage of fans who feel as we do. It's gotta be something like 75% of all ME3 players at this point.

I think i saw somewhere that mass effect 3 sold a little under a million copies on release day. so 40k votes on the poll and 23k "likes" on facebook is quite a bit in my opinion

It's that time again folks! Let's stay civil, on topic, and don't attack people!

[Jsixgun]

How long is Bioware going to hide behind their silence? That is almost more infuriating than the ending its self. Hold That line!

Not to sound callous at all, but that latter option really doesn't bother me. I just wiped out all synthetic life in the galaxy and destroyed fast intragalactic travel for good. I don't particularly care if a few more die as long as I get to be with Tali at the end.

10000% agree. Am I selfish or what (altough i would want the quarians to live cause thats Talis people of course)

We were selfish in our choice to destroy what we helped create - EDI, Jokers Romance, The Geth. We did that because we saw a chance of living with our love. If you had no love then why would you care. The love we felt was worth the burden we knew we would have to live with for the rest of our lives.

Anyway, I've always felt a connection with the Quarians....

Maybe if they release a new ending i can live in the flotilla with them. I know they love me, especially after i helped them.

Even Admiral Xen and I have a friendship of sorts. Pity Kal'Reegar wouldn't be there.

I was going to adopt a little Quarian war orphan with Tali.....ok, now I'm getting soppy.

I was gonna adopt that Jona kid since you saw his mom gunned down via video in Tali's loyalty mission back in ME2 then were with his dad when he die on the surface of Rannoch....poor little guy

LEAVE ME ALONE I'M MAKING ART *tosses more beer cans at the TV in rage from finishing Mass Effect 3*

Damien Hirst cut a sheep in half, stuck both halves in formaldehyde and glass tanks and had people walk through it. Tracey Emin brought in a bed with used codoms and tampons in which she had slept in for about 5 days straight. Both of these were hailed as triumphs and were deferentially referred to as "Art"

Do you see where I'm going with this....

And yet, the mental images you've given me are STILL better than the ending to ME3.

I know. Not what I was actually getting at but I suppose that the result doesn't matter, it's the journey which matters. Right?

Only...what happens when the result basically makes the journey pointless.

Yeah.. if it wasn't a brand new 47" LG 3D TV I'd probably have tossed stuff at it.. thing's thinner than the remote it came with though, I'm sure it's stronger than it looks but I'm afraid to breathe on it somedays.

Glad I'm not the only loser that felt true heart break. I was beginning to question my own sanity at how attached I'd gotten to video game characters. I guess I'm still crazy but its nice to know other crazies out there all over the world who are just as off their nut as I am.

The reapers are synthetic beings sent to kill you ever 50 000 years so you don't create synthetics that will rise up and kill you. Thanks for the assist there Space Wizard kid, real helpful. 
Oh BioWare as Buffy would say: Your logic does not resemble our earth logic

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but the title of Biowares twitter is, "The war for Earth has begun, decide how it ends."
