This conversation is funny because I really am sitting here, drinking a rather large cup of coffee, while I'm reading it. XD

Seriously I have no idea, I reckon my first point of nothing better to talk about is the truth though.
Also.....Hi TamiBx!
So I read on someones Tumblr that they hated the ending but for some reason thought we all were dissing the whole game based on the ending, obviously said person isn't paying much attention to the fact we all are just dissing the ENDING not the game in a whole.
Haha, hello Hezz!
Did you guys see this? *can't watch every single video on this thread*

Ok, it is set in stone they havent finished the game guys. We all know that by now.
Gamble STRESSES on Twitter that so far we have had 3 choices, not endings. They keep letting things slip and whatnot too. So we know this is not the ending of ME3. But there in lies a bigger issue, we may have the endings, but why on earth would BioWare think that what they have done is a good thing?
I really hope that this is true.. but then again if ME3 was meant to have an expansion from the beginning, why all the secrecy?
And if it IS true, I hope the next story will not be about Shep being the Advent, a semi reaper of some sort.. (4chan claimed to have a leaked script about dlc post ending, the story is like stuff made from nightmares. Evil Chris confirms it false though) sooo I guess whatever ending dlc they're going to release, I will certainly look at spoilers first. And look whether or not my Shep can be happy with her LI X)
I'll admit shamelessly now, that the rason why I played ME3 is because I want to see my femshep with kaidan again XD I'm so pathetic
-don't judge me- X)
Edit: typos n stuff. gah. posting with mobile is no fun. miss using my computer..

While I wish that were the case I think go red means then you can imagine your own ending.
the red (destroy) option is the only one where you see shepard in the rubble and one of the staff did actually say it was shepard.
some even said "who said shepards dead"
BUT to make sense of the ending the indoc theroy is the ONLY logical direction to go,
the hallusination theroy does hold merit but not water and does not make sense,
indoctoration holds merit and water and makes more sense.
some other theroys have been put out there abet some are REALLY creative and REALLY imaginative and given enough development could be part of the game.
but remember this is an EA owned company, so yes EA rushed the game BUT also had major parts removed for DLC purposes.
if this is the case then EA OWES part refunds back to people.
BUT this is alsoa lesson in development, DONT SCREW WITH GAMERS, were smart, mature and intelligent and we all KNEW it would be a matter of time before a publisher pulled this stunt and it turned out to be EA pulling it first and so blatent.
this stunt can make or break a publisher and seriously damage the reputation of the development studio and right now 1 thing has happend and the other is following very slowly and guess which came first.
2 things you never trust . a politican when they say " I have no recolection or I mispoke" and @masseffects tweets.

Where is the pile of rubble Shep is in??My play Shep got caught in the blast and thats the last I remember seeing them.
If you have a certain amount of EMS (don't ask how much I have no clue) you get a scene after the destroy option where you see Shepard's N7 armor and he/she takes half a breath and then it cuts to credits.

Not exactly.
We know from the app that was released that 'speculation' was a keyword being used, but it is worth stressing that that particular line was included in what seems to have been a brainstorming session dating from some six months before the games release.
We also know that there were something like three different endings worked out at different times - the dark energy ending (dropped when the writer was moved to work on TOR), another that was leaked and dropped and the penultimate one that they had to drop because they were having tehnical problems implementing it. The latter also tells us that they ended up doing the ending at the last minute.
Now the above *could*, and I stress COULD be used as 'evidence' to support the idea that the current 'ending' is in fact nothing more than a placeholder. I've speculated before that BW might have realised that they simply couldn't produce the ending they wanted for ME3, so decided to tack one on to buy them time to finish the 'real' ending as a DLC.
This would explain rather a lot, if this was something they did at the last minute and decided to try and turn into a PR stunt it would explain why they were caught utterly off-guard. If it was a last minute thing they probably didn't have the time to think it through, and might well have been wary of releasing a statement that basically said they had released an incompleate game because, well, people would have not taken the news well - It could also have caused serious problems with EA as the implication would have been that EA wanted the game out of the door on 6th March finished or not. The rumour's about 'The Truth' DLC could even have been a planned leak, to indicate that the ending wasn't really the ending without having to come out and say that.
This is, however, speculation and the 'evidence' for this is at best circumstancial - and we've already learnt that twitter is NOT a reliable source of information. About the only thing I've seen that could, possibly, indicate that there is a new ending on the way was a tweet from the Bioware writter who will be at PAX. He posted that he had a 'lot to talk about

And given the current situation I find it hard to believe that anyone at Bioware would be so far removed from reality they'd think anything but a new ending DLC is going to go down well.
I want to be optimistic when I read these things from Bioware employees, but what else can they say? Even if they have nothing planned that will appease fans, they can't really respond any differently.
I think there is equal odds that the writers have a lot to say not because of something awesome they know we are going to love, but because they've had to be silent while we point out all of the flaws in the ending.

I agree with you fully, but "speculation" works when there is a limited amount of sources giving "hints" for people to speculate on. However, when there is a vast supply of sources giving hints (and in Jess's case, damn near down right telling us) that there is more to come, we have to accept that maybe there is more. It is less of a specuatory situation, and more of a viable and extremely possible situation.

I also thought that Id share where I am at in terms of accepting the ending and being hopeful for an improvement.
I like the concept of the Reapers as guardians of organic life free from the threat of synthetic war. The starchild suggests that his species had technology capable of doing more than wiping out advanced life - it could rend the fabric of the galaxy.
Reapers are synthetic/organic fusion - each one a nation of minds forming a single, vast consciousness. It is an intelligence beyond that of the Geth, beyond human understanding. The nuance here is that in "ascending" they have lost perspective on what makes life worthwhile (self determination, the possibility for peace and understanding).
Shepard can agree (by controlling or joining), or can take a stand for freedom at the cost of possibly allowing synthetics to do exactly what the catalyst is warning us about. This is the tech singularity discussed in a lot of hard sci fi. The endings look all the same but are different in what they recommend to the imagination. This is a kind of telling accompanied by rushed "showing" and Bioware really should have given us a better feeling of what we did.
I do think there are more than three choices. We carry the weight of our many decisions to the final battle, and we have the knowledge of the universe we've created. It's the final choice that crowns a game that might be considered an action packed epilogue.
I LIKE this part of the ending. No jokes. I think it is cool and should be kept. This is my opinion, though, I'm not forcing it on anyone else.
What I DON'T like is:
- The relays being destroyed (why ruin the universe we love?) - I can believe they won't explode like in Arrival (space magic) but it's such an awful way to leave the universe.
- Joker turning tail with my love interest and stranding them beyond my reach. It doesn't make logical sense, and it leaves you feeling empty. Why even do this?
- the inconclusive "Shepard in rubble" scene. I earned a living Shepard, I think Bioware owes me some idea of what will happen to her.
- Basically the lack of closure. Seriously, DA origins had such a great ending, we got to find out how things progressed. It wasn't always positive, either, but it gave closure.
These are my ideas on the ending. Hold the line.

not sure if posted yet, nor if it's interesting for you.
oh well.
"Though it gets very little attention from the mainstream press, the video game publisher is notorious for buying then destroying smaller companies, gouging customers on game prices and then tacking on costly (and occasionally worthless) downloadable content and generally making the whole gaming experience more expensive and less entertaining."

As many of you probably know I started playing ME1 again, now I am on Noveria and the frame rate is horrible at the moment and it sounds like the disk is being read a lot. Would it help to install the game to the HDD?
ON Topic:
If they fix the ending, we all go our separate ways, celebrate and jump back into the game right?
If they don't fix the ending, we either stop buying bioware/ea products and that's that. OR we continue to fight. How many do you reckon will fight for a better ending than this crap we got?
