Well, I still have hope. Just having the bink file to show the breath would make a big cliffhanger. But it's almost certain that since there is the outfit there, Shepard will stand up and something will happen.

I too still hope for this. But the relays destruction is a huge price in this war. I wonder if ingame cutscenes will provide some explonation.

Aha, so, this is an outfit for survival in-game cutscene. Battered, but not dead (else why show it?).
That's what the leakers saw in the "survival" ending? And he just stands up or something?

I recall someone saying it was weird how his head was so intact. Guess it's because you don't see their face in the scene that outfit is from.

HOLY CRAP! What could've happened to shepard for him to look like that?

I guess an almost lethal blast, but since no parts of his arms are missing...

I guess he's trying to attract krogan females that way, i heard they like battered men or even better scarred ones

1. The crucible is not a deus ex machina.
2. There not space gods but they are not to be underestimated.
3. You can't win throught conventional means.
4. Wrong, they are not space gods but extremly powerful beings.
5. Bioware isn't forcing the reapers as gods on to you're face.
6. Yeah like you said they are not space gods but you can't win by conventional means.

 Uh....wut?

Whatever.

In presenting the Reapers as they are, Bioware is falling back on a contrived "spacegods" concept.  The fact that you need a McGuffin to stop them, and doing so dooms everything you love and that you've been fighting for all along, is classic Lovecrafting spacehorror.

Hm... good call. If he's in space (or somewhere where he needs the helmet), then that would have to be there too in the cutscene. Or his face is completely ok in the demo, because it had to use the "normal Shepard" face, while the cutscene will have a "battered Shepard" face most likely?
Hard to see the cheesy smile though. And thinking of the armor, it's so black and molten, that it could pass like the other armors too.

The old man talking with the boy could happen even after a "happy" ending. Since it's in the future, it can be after almost any ending (I still can't get why it would appear after the merge).

This is far too similiar to Shining force. You stop Dark Dragon , but then find that you have to stay behind to seal it (Citadel). Although Shining force is told through a story book format from the start and it turns out that "Grandpa" is the protagonist from the story.

So it will so something like Tell me the Story of Shepard again and the camera will pan around and you will get an "old" Shepard.

People have said that it's only the old man though and not an old woman.
Would also be quite a cliche, not that the series doesn't have any.

Also, in most endings leaked, Shepard dies/stops existing as Shepard, so the old man is probably an old man in the future.

Whoever came up with the Crucible and the Guardian should be fired.

Man I don't even play a lot of mass effect. I only played through ME1 once because it was boring, ME2 twice because a friend said insanity was too hard for me (it was tedious). Even then, whoever decided the game would be structured around a stupid ass magical space deus ex machina is so ****ing retarded. Even a bystander could see what a massive screw-up the endings are.

I feel bad for anyone who actually played the games more than two times. I can imagine all that investment just getting shot out the airlock.

The camera is not panning around but fading out while moving up so that you only see the sky / stars.

Something curious to point out:

http://pastebin.com/Jgy4QPgr

In the list of cutscenes available, we have several bullets listed for "flashback scenes," which go along with what Tank said about flashbacks in the ending. But whereas Tank listed flashbacks for character "H," which confused some people, here we have a flashback instead for character "A."

It doesn't really prove anything, and it doesn't change the outcome of the endings. But perhaps it means that there is some information gap between what the people who've played the game are saying and what is actually in the final copy. Especially considering the immense amount of changing variables between different save games.

I played part 1 twice. Once on release, once just before ME2 on PS3 as a refresher. ME2 I've played a lot but only because I enjoy playing it rather than for creating any sort of perfect story flag.

I can't really understand people who have played it 30+ times , but they probably have a right to be pissed.

They are descendents of the Normandy crew and that's the planet they crash on.  I'm assuming other ships must have crashed there too because the crew probably wouldn't be enough to have a viable population but who knows.

We are so on the same page about the Reapers and the letdown of the "spacegods" path that Bioware took. 

I thought I was alone in that analysis.

Actually, I really liked how Bioware did that in ME1 and 2. The devolution in the portrayal of the Reapers as Lovecraftian space horrors into merely an advanced, omnicidal, alien race was very organic and intriguing. I very much enjoyed how as Shepard made gains against, and learned more about, the Reapers they become increasingly accessible...if not entirely relatable...villains. It really paralleled the theme and backstory of humankind venturing out into the cosmos with a sense of wonder and awe, to be disillusioned by the reality of it, as explained by Kaiden way back in the beginning of ME1. That was all really, really cool and concise, and it perfectly framed the development of the trilogy culminating in the final conflict with the Reapers.

Especially with the running thing with the ME series being a paean to science fiction altogether, and how sci-fi evolved to be less wondrous and romantic over the last few decades with more focus on science, introspection of the past and societal deconstruction.

I've played both games dozens of times, and I'm going to play ME3 dozens of time, because no matter how it ends, it's fun and I like the universe it takes place in.

So, the planet shown in the crash-landing and the old man ending is the same? No difference to suggest it's in a different place?
