Never posted on the forums before so here it goes. I just feel like this is not how mass effect should end! This is not how I want to remember the franchise, it deserves so much more!

I have played ME1 around twelve times, and I have played ME2 just as much, so it goes without saying that I have invested heavily into this universe.
So, when I finally came to the end of ME3 I was just baffled that that's how they decided to end the story. It just felt completely out of place and left so many plot holes.
I just don't understand what happened!? I really felt like this was going to be the masterpeice and then the last 15min ruined it completely. Where were my choices?

I always imagned that at the end of the ME3 Commander Shepad would be broken down, that all hope would seem lost. Maybe one of your squadmates would say something like "It's over... we lost..." and that Shepard would go something like "No! I have come to far, accomplished too much for it to end like this!".
Then Shepard inspires everyone to do one last push, one last dessperate move and that's when all your important decisions that you've made along the way would come into play.
And if you've played your cards right, you would get that improbable ending where you survive against all odds.
For me that's what Mass Effect was all about. Overcoming impossible obstacles by uniting and working together, seeing beyond speices or gender and never compromising your core beliefs, be it renegade or paragon.

Anyways, after finishing the game about five days ago I'm just emotionally devastated.
But after coming here and reading how all you guys feel. Well, it makes me feel so much better knowing i'm not the only one who is confused and sad.

(ps. I had no intention of writing this much when I started :P guess I needed to get this out of my system)

Thank you all for making me feel better!
<3 from Sweden
I will hold the line!


Welcome.

Also, I agree with you 100%. Could just as well have posted that myself, nice to see more swedes upset about the ending. Feel like I'm the only one around these parts.

Hold the line!


You're not alone. Fellow swede here *points to self*

And to the one who made those awesome banners - can we have one for Sweden too, please?


This is SSV Stockholm report for duty fellow Swedes! yes we might be a small country but we will hold the line!

Hey everybody I got a quick question from my brother for you. He hasn't actually finished the game yet,he already knows that the ending is quite bad, but he's not sure if continuing to play would hurt our cause. His thinking is that EAware is still collecting data on whose playing sp and by playing he will add to their thinking that they did things right. Told him I would ask the fleet to get their opinion. What do you think?

What do you guys think? Anything that supports our cause or just empty words?


The Hopeful One says: They are going to do something about the ending
The Cynical One says: They probably broke their money counting machines and are having to do it by hand...

I want to be hopeful...but the cynic in me won't be quiet... Image IPB

who knows it had better be or people will be more pissed off than they are know

No, really, they have to do something or the doom of their company is 100%.


nah, they wont bring out MP DLC right now, for they know it most likely wont sell very well...

i could imagine they threw every DLC Plans overboard to make one ending DLC, however that will look like!

but maybe im just hoping for that...


Let us put it in their perspective: For them THIS....US... is getting out of control

*snip*

not bad not bad at all
hold that line


Sent mine as well, here it is:

"Dear Bioware,


First of all, I want to make it clear that I am so much grateful for your work!
Without you, we would not have Mass Effect.
The reason we are so upset about the endings is precisely because we love the Mass Effect series so much.
And I have to say that everything that came before the ending was awesome. I loved it all.
But the ending sours it all.
That being said, let me do what I came here to do.


I hope you are willing to listen to us.
We are not without reason in our complaints, we are not entitled.
We are unhappy, we are concerned.
The ending to the lovely Mass Effect series goes against everything that was built within it. It takes everything from us, all we've done, all we've come to love, our freedom to choose. It does not make sense, it even goes against the series' lore.
What we want is that something be done about it. Not because we simply demand it, not because we simply entitle ourselves to it, but because we love the series so very much, because it would only be fair for Mass Effect to get an ending worthy of the great story it is.
We still hold you dear, and we'd love it if you'd listen to us fans, knowing that you hold us dear as well.


Please do listen to us, and I wish you well."

I do not trust what he writes Mr.Gamble / Hudson ... have written extensively about how it had to end ME3 ... and has been the opposite.

I don't see why they had to end ME3 in the way their going about it. They have already stated that ME3 would be the end of Shepard journey and any additional games would be before or during the Shepard saga. Why not end it on a good note if this is our final goodbye to Shepard and the ME universe in this time.... IT MAKES NO SENSE, just like the ending :pinched:

Financially it would be better if they left the ending open so they could milk the crap out of the series later like Halo. That's what I expected EA to push for. I can only think that Bioware somehow didn't want that to happen and did this to protect it from that fate. But if they loved it enough to go that far, why throw the ending out the way they did.

Forgive that, needed to empty my brain.

Back in action and holding the line!

"
Bioware,

Probably, I'm more one of the fans of the game to write an email to you. However, I'd like to write this email to you so I could say to you my thoughts.

-snip- Sadness that all that I did was for nothing. And why not a happy ending? One of the reasons is all of us play video game is to be the hero and forget a little of our real world problems. Every day I see murder cases, corruption and poverty stuff here in São Paulo, Brazil. I have to be careful we I go out, because I can be Kidnapped, killed or robbed. Gaming is a way to release pression, to forget a little about your problems and achieve something happy or to know that your choices and hard work mattered. Some tears are getting out of me right now. How stupid, a 20 years old guy, at the end of his college course crying. But when something matters to you, this happens.

I'm writting this email not only because I'm anger or sad because the ending was not what I expected. I'm writting because it matters to me.
I want to thank you for your time. I know that a lot of people are writting, pariticipating right now on BSN (#retakemasseffect), facebook and twitter to get a new ending, not only a happy pink butterfly ending, but one that our choices matter and you can choose to achieve a sad/"real" ending or a happy/unreal(maybe) one. But we all are doing that because this matter to us. If the game did not mattered, nobody would be writting emails, talking about or asking. They would simply sell the copies and never play anymore. We are doing this because it matter to us. Please listen to us, and give us a better ending

I want to thank you again for your time and to say sorry about any gramatical erros. My written english is a bit rusted.

Sincerely,"

I salute you, sir. There is no shame in emotion.  The world is a crap place a lot of time and some people game to feel better not worse.  I think that is a wonderful email.

You guys realize that if 50,000+ fans each donated $20, we could easily raise over a million for Child's Play?
