Dead on with your analysis - this ending would be downright silly at best and sadastic at worst.

I'll remember YOU BW - never good or nostalgic just bitter at your claim BW to let me have choices. YOU (BW) failed me when it really counted most. And my wallet will NEVER open for you again.

I just bought ME1 on steam last week in anticipation of my CE order next tuesday. And to think i was all "Wow! A space epic trilogy 5 years in the making!"

Right now, i dun even know what to do with my ME 1 anymore...:crying:


Play it and love it, then buy ME2 and do the same.

Regardless of what happens, those two were amazing games.


Believe it or not, even at this point, I still think that ME3 would be a blast to play thru. But once the ending starts rolling....bah:pinched:

What an brilliant ending. What did you expect if you were fighting against some ancient menace that has been around for more than 37 millions of years and erradicate the entire galatic civilization or rather, reunite civilization to make them into reapers?



You mean like how Shepard stopped Sovereign and a geth invasion? Or how Shepard took on Harbinger and the Collectors?

In Dragon Age's case it was four months after sales dropped that an EA rep came out and said, "We dun goofed." in PR speak.


Melfina I assume you're talking about DA2?

The first indication we will have that sales aren't meeting their hopes, which is a pattern I noticed on DA2, is how rapidly they start offering extra paid-for content for free.  First they'll throw in From Ashes, then when that doesn't work some extra DLC crap, then what that doesn't work they'll throw in other games (maybe ME, ME2, or even DA/DA2 LOL), then when that doesn't work they'll be forced to cut the price.  The thing to watch is how fast the feebee's start coming.  No doubt with this amount of hubris they'll wait a few months before admitting that something isn't going according to projections so don't expect it right away, but when it happens it's not going to be pretty.

They were bragging a lot about how pre-orders are ahead of ME2 pre-orders, but pre-orders are just pent up demand from loyal fans.  You know what other product had a huge amount of pre-orders the manufacturer confused with a steady sales demand?  The Smart car; once the pre-orders had all been shipped the sales dried up.  Yes I know a game isn't a car but the point is pre-orders aren't always reflective of how the majority of your sales will do.

There are multiple endings are many, many variables that determine how successful the galaxy is against the Reapers. That, is, choice. Just because Shepard can't live "happily ever after" that doesn't mean the series is now void of choice.

He's not a ****ing god.

This.


There are several variables yes. Do you want a blue, red, or green ending?


How about try rushing the finale and getting the crap kicked out of you where not only you die, but SO DOES YOUR CREW.

Nevermind the fact that choices efffect the endgame was well.

Look at TW2's ending...your choices affect the ENDGAME more than the ENDING. There is also an ENGAME in ME3.

Even having consquences shown from your actions make this game have FAR better choice and consquence than any Bioware game, even DAO, who uses lazy ending cards.

Bioware is far from the WRPG Gods of chocie and consquence.


TW2? As in Two Worlds? Heck, I didn't even get that far. Lost interest half-way through the first one. Mayhaps I try it again.

We're saying it becasue that's the only choice many of us actually care about -- Shepard & crew alive together in just one ending. JUST ONE!

Well I guess it's canon that Shepard isn't so selfish that he'd put his needs above the rest of of the galaxy's.

Personally I'd accept such an ending (Shepard lives with crew) if it meant screwing over the galaxy and letting trillions die. Keeps with the theme Bioware apparently wants to have.

Really, buddy, you can't think of ONE scenario in which Shepard getting stranded WITH his crew--which is all a lot of people are asking for--isn't a selfish act?

Well that's not what I said.

I can think of billions of silly scenarios. Some of which would probably cater to you. The thing is based on the context of "the final choice" they all require self sacrifice from Shepard. The only way to avoid that is to be selfish.

Clearly Bioware is [suddenly] trying to tell you you can't always play hero and you can't have you're cake and eat it too.


you can think of billions of scenarios? you must have a brain the size of argentina

Yeah, some one played the game somewhere and some "claim" they saw the vids. BS! If you actually saw the vids YOU would have had them posted on Utube. No vids YOU are full of crap! And don't give me some one - yet no one posting here - somehow has all the answers - BS! Next, leaked script - yeah right - BW lost this scrip and followed it to the letter knowing full well it was on the internet. Yeah, right - have I got one for YOU. BS!

Come on man, I've seen aliens of every sort on uTube claimed as real. Images of Jesus on everything from toast to clouds on UTube. And everything else in between - I don't use UTube as anything but humorous.


Hahahahaha....

Seriously, do you know how you sound to others? Denying ridiculous amounts of video evidence?

What, someone threw this together in an afternoon?


UA, I agree that Youtube can also be used for serious videos. Look at all the massacre vids by tirany around the planet. Sometimes YT is the only way to let the truth out there.

But you've been in this thread for the whole day. I ate, I slept, I showered, I went out, I came back... and you're still with the same broken record about these videos being "evidence"? The only evidence they show is that the game has binks on it.

When I say upload a video or it didn't happen, I mean full captured playthrough games:

Like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqNkp83eI3c

or this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IyUKR2au84

or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i4wSIooFiM

Uploading extracted bink videos really proves nothing. It is no evidence. And reloading before the end and changing only the final decision is like playing TW2 only on Roche's path and saying that all endings lead to Iorveth dismissal.




Wait...you can solo MP?

The only thing I can do is keep it and hold out hope that the guy who said there is a happy ending, no one has just gotten it yet (from a few pages back), is right.

Thanks great people who made all this happen.

There'll be a happy ending, a couple months from now, in the form of a DLC.


People are already mad enough at the endings now but if we have to pay more for a better ending still is just....

I'm already paying for a CE so I hope this "better ending DLC" is freakin' free...

Otherwise, as Sten would say,

No.



I'll watch the "better" ending for free on YT.

Yeah, I mean, hell they sold pre-orders but that was based partially on the success of Origins. When sales dropped off faster than a heard of lemmings over a cliff following the actual release of the game they realized not all ways well with their creative decisions. Now they have to work that much harder for DA3. They have to win back those they lost, they cannot depend on pre-orders anymore. By attempting to broaden their fanbase they alienated a lot of what they had already built. It's fine, as someone said, to want to encourage everyone to enjoy gaming and to involve them in it. Thing is you don't want to do it with one game. In the end you try too much to be a Jack of All Trades, master of none.

This. No way I would pay for something that should already be included in a $60 game.

I had two close gamer friends that I was going to push to pick up the game so we could all enjoy it together and team up in MP. Now I will warn them off instead. I was forever grateful to the guy who warned me about DA2...my chance to return the favor.

While the endings will effect people differently (I personally like that ME1's portrayal of the Reapers as a nigh unbeatable force is prove accurate ), one has to consider that the writers have to perfectly balance the ending to accommodate both closure for Shepard and the starting ground for a new story set in the future. This cannot possibly happen with extremely varying finales. Quoting myself from another thread:

The relays being gone sets an interesting ground for a game/trilogy set far into the future, where civilisations establish new ways to travel vast distances in space. At this point Shepard is a mythical figure or simply forgotten, the existence of past relays and/or alien species is also a myth, and the different races will have to re-aqcuaint themselves. This will also allow the developers to use imported saved data from ME3 but nothing too major so as to hold their creativity back.

Humans meet Turians for seemingly the first time? Races creating independent AIs? Salvaging buried Reaper tech to incorporate? A species trying to upload the whole of itself into an immortal machine? You as the player know how these things ended in the past, yet in-game characters can only speculate, much like we do in real life today. This is great setting for the future of the IP, but it requires a very specific ME ending so that the universe can be re-invented.

Is it clear where the whole "stranded Normandy" situation takes place? Is it before Shepard returns to Earth for the final battle?


As explained by a player who has beaten it... MASSIVE SPOILERS

*snip*


Hrm, skimmed parts of the Prima guide for the game today and whilst they don't go into anything post "The Decision", they do point out the required 'readiness' points for each choice.

As much as I'd like to believe there is at least one ending where Shepard and the crew/squad can stay together, as I saw nothing about repercussions for the epilogue in the guide, I'm inclined to believe that the Normandy ends up stranded regardless..

Heck the easiest hard choice is blowing the earth relay like ME2 killing Reapers and earth. Or using a massive meteor of the size that wiped out the dinosaurs. That way the rest of the relays are all intact and the humans and aliens can live a normal life with human eventually repopulating earth in the future. Simple. And very effective! No idiotic contrived ending like BW forced on us all.

Agreed, so hard. If they ever do come out with a 'better' ending it had better be free for everyone, otherwise I'm just going to do the same as you and watch it for free and form my own headcanon surrounding it. I can also guarantee that if the vast majority of the people who play the game get this pissed about the endings, assuming we aren't just the vocal minority, trying to make people PAY for a good ending would only further the rift they've created.

So they throw the whole trilogy under the bus for the sake of the next game in the franchise, and that's supposed to be okay?

At this point Shepard is a mythical figure or simply forgotten, the existence of past relays and/or alien species is also a myth, and the different races will have to re-aqcuaint themselves. This will also allow the developers to use imported saved data from ME3 but nothing too major so as to hold their creativity back.

Humans meet Turians for seemingly the first time? Races creating independent AIs? Salvaging buried Reaper tech to incorporate? A species trying to upload the whole of itself into an immortal machine? You as the player know how these things ended in the past, yet in-game characters can only speculate, much like we do in real life today. This is great setting for the future of the IP, but it requires a very specific ME ending so that the universe can be re-invented.


So they throw the whole trilogy under the bus for the sake of the next game in the franchise, and that's supposed to be okay?
