I'm not going to cancel my preorder, I'll give it a chance, play through at least once. But if all we get for endings is these depressing "screw over everyone in the galaxy" endings I'm done with Bioware. Well, I'll continue to support The Old Republic because I think it's a great game but won't get anything else from them.

I've been looking forward to Mass Effect 3 more than any game ever so I hope they aren't going to take another giant steaming sloppy crap on my lap like they did with Dragon Age 2.


Good luck to you, I hope it is good for your sake :)

Am I really the only one here who thinks the game attached to the ending is just a LITTLE more important than those last few minutes of non-interactive cutscene?

Another problem.  Apparently no technology works.  Not even FTL.  So...

The turians and quarians, once unable to synthesise dextro-amino foods, will descend upon one another in a bloody campaign of cannibalistic hunger. The now-cured krogan will overrun the planet, provoking violence upon violence until they destroy what is left of Earth's resources in (another) nuclear holocaust.

Thousands of years later, the asari, who had been laying low by shaking their arses in clubs and screwing as many things as possible, reemerge as the keepers of the planet.

Earth becomes Thessia II.

There are some who care only about the journey.
There are some who care only about the end.
And there are some that care about both.

You are entitled to your opinion. :)

Nah. It's just that this is the way Shepard's entire saga ends, so there's ~six years riding on it. The destination's more important than it would be if this game was a standalone.

Nah. But the ending is pretty damn important. Still, I think the game is going to be amazing.

Might as well make as many jokes as possible before sh*t really hits the fan.

Man screw your stupid video endings , if you guys tried to extract ME2 endings merely through Bink extraction , then all you will see is the Collector base exploding , you will see nothing about Shepard surviving or dieing , nothing about who of your crew lives or dies , nothing about the conversation with the TIM afterwards .

This is getting tedious and ridiculous , I feel sympathy for all those people who still believe in this BS!

My only problem with the so-called "perfect ending" is the singularity of the phrase.

I was hoping more for Ending S. A plural form. Situations that shift depending on what I do, or don't do.

That was the motivation. The incentive for replays.

I'll post this again because I don't want it to get lost amidst the 'patriota' noise.

This might be going on: The people who played it saved their game, and went into the final battle with whatever preparation they had. Then, they kept loading THE SAME SAVEGAME, to see how other options would go.

No wonder we only get variations on the same sort of ending.

A better point has not been raised this whole thread.


The videos have been mined.  There are no other endings. 


And yet the part that has most of the people here in hysterics (Normandy stranded in every ending), you say is rendered in-game.  Isn't it then logical that there are other ending sequences that are rendered in-game?

Seriously, do you have any self-awareness at all?


Do you have any idea what self awareness means?  Clearly not.  Obviously I know that.

You keep ignoring the fact that people have played the game already and have now been utterly vindicated by the leaks today.  Yesterday you could deny it.  Today you can't.  Tank was a tester on the game and played it for months.  He's seen every ending and everything he's said matches the videos long before they came out.  The flashbacks which are out there now, the colors associated with the endings, everything he's said and everything Xio has said.  We now have a guy in the spoiler group that has the PC prereleased and mined the vids.  Same thing.  So forgive me if I follow parsimony and believe the preponderance of evidence.


I've read parts of that SA thread (not the whole thing, it's long) and was under the impression that In It For The Tank was rather vague about a lot of things.  I thought he joked that he was going to start charging 10 dollars per question and then stopped answering questions altogether.

I guess I could take him at his word that the stranded scene occurs in every ending, but that would still be a leap of faith and can't be verfied by the mined videos.  I don't even remember seeing him claim that in the thread (if you have the link, by all means share it).  

And I don't know why you keep talking about the mined videos.  On one hand, you want to argue that the mined videos are there and corroborate Tank and there are no other endings, but you're also arguing that the supposed stranded scene is in every single ending but is rendered due to choices in game.  It seems to me that we still have no idea what the majority of ending sequences involve, because they are rendered due to choices in game.  So why are people like you pretending that you know everything, and making a whole lot of ****ty assumptions?

urgh yeah it just occured to me, all the races left on Earth from the battle opens up an opportunity for an MMO with multiple races living on earth and some light travel to other planets and space stations in SOL. 1000's of years in the future and they will have achieved quite a lot.

Not to mention the Normandy getting a beating, without any of the upgrades...

I'm really hoping too hehe. If not, I'll throw it on the pile with DA2, let out a heavy sigh then order Kingdoms of Amalur like I should have in the first place. Maybe even lock myself in a dark room and cry quietly as I mourn the loss of the Bioware I once loved.

Aren't you the guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who works with a company who has witnessed a guy play the game who claims there are more endings but didn't provide any evidence beyond his word?

Whatever the ending is I hope it's as good as ME1. I felt like I was actually part of the game. ME2 not so much. Although I did enjoy it.

Doesn't matter one way or the other to me the level of "accuracy" these leaks have.  I will buy the game, enjoy it, and thats all that matters to me.  For now, until the game arrives, it is a good enough of a distraciton and is at least a little entertaining.  And in the end, thats why most of us are interested in Mass Effect...entertainment.

If it wasn't the end to a trilogy and a labor of love five years going then yes, maybe.

I mean, I'd be pretty pissed if the end of Uncharted 3 Drake was bumped off.

Really? I hope so.

I thought the BSN was going to be happier this close to release. I thought it would be like a party atmosphere, but....

Yes continually ignore that the vids prove that the people that have claimed to play the game actually have.

This is off topic, but I'm probably the only one that misses the elevators from part one. They were long, but they made the game seemless.

Good god, yes. This was the infusion this thread needed.


You wouldn't have thought that from the SR-3's wreckage they'd be able to build an entire trailer park, Wal Mart and Waffle House, but by god they did it. Don't even ask where or how they found the 1978 Camaro Z28 with no wheels.

Turns out you can make meth out of eezo, too.

On the plus side, it gets me nice experience if I decide to change my career to a lawyer. :happy:

There are still relays, granted one way, on both the Citadel and Ilos. So the technology is there regardless. Take my time buying game and let someone else get all the add on content to see if any effect on outcome. No effect - no bucks from me BW. Plain and simple. Moreover, that would be my last BW game. Plenty more good series out there for me to spend MY money on.

Yeah, but... at that point, we might as well just all watch the ending on YouTube and save ourselves $60-80.
