So, how bad is it?

"Requiem for a Dream" in space or less horrible than that?

(Would explain Clint Mansell on the composer team though.)


I'd say worse than Requiem for a Dream, because the ending *worked* for that movie. These feel a bit shoehorned.

We get it. We're emos. You can stop posting the same statement over and over.

If you are unsure, yes. Just wait for the reviews to come in and decide whether or not you want it then.

I'd be willing to bet that the final % of players who will be dissatisfied with the endings we currently know of being the only endings will be much higher than 50%. They may not all be filled with Rage about it.. or Extremely angry about it. But if you count those that find the endings  dissappointing  or are otherwise unappy in with those that are varying degrees of Angry and upset about them.. you'll get well over 50% in the end.. I'd almost bet on it.


No doubt. The majority of people defending the endings here are Biodrones. Mainstream-wise, there are very few Biodrones that will defend this action; sure, some people will enjoy the death in the ending, but the truth of the matter is that less than 30% of the total population will like these endings.


There is a reason why most Hollywood movies have 'up' endings. Most people don't like down endings. The late 70's were filled with grimdark movies, and what was the breakaway hit? Star Wars IV: A New Hope -- a story about an idealistic young man who rises up to knock back the Empire and save a princess and her galactic rebellion. That's quite the fairy tale. And people loved it.

I'm going to laugh if all these leaked scripts turn out to be a troll. Seriously you people make decisions of how the game is based on leaked scripts? Come on bioware have changed a few thing but we will see. Unless anyone have the video footage of the endings ill consider this another troll thread.


It's not leaked scripts. That was last year, dude. The endings people are talking about were originally based on early access playthroughs (eg - space editions), and as of last night the entire internet has access to the game files because a russian version hit bittorrent.

Since then, ending cinematics have been hitting youtube. They leave VERY little room for misinterpretation.

no there not. you want selfishnes look at activision and cod

yearly release with same dlc and no improvments and they charge a nasty price for it

bioware has done nothing like that and you know it


He said nothing about being selfish; he just said they were catering to a specific group, and he's right. The endings have a common, depressing theme. That's catering to a subsection, albeit a small one.



:sigh: the endings make sense mainly because of what the story is.

do you expect earth being destroyed  or the events in me3 a good thing?


so we should just ruin a specific emotional part of a story for a happy go lucky ending of rainbows and butterflys and live happily ever after right?

how the hell does that make any sense at all?

i swear some of you posters say you can write fan fictions but you have no idea on how to tell a story do you?

Just playing devil's advocate, look at Titanic.

Though Avatar made more than 2.5x that, and it had a happy ending.

Obviously, I agree with you ;)

I suppose in a way BW got butchered by their own system, testers, and the Space Edition. In turn causing them loss of bucks and interest in many who were doing play through of Mass Effect 1 & 2. And in the end BW is paying through the nose for its own silliness as a result. Wonder exactly what the conversations are at BW and EA about now. Spin, baby, spin!

What is it with Biodrones and butterflies? Seriously, it's like their parents were all murdered by them.

I would prefer an ending where everyone dies together as a team, making a final stand over this. So I'm pretty sure there are no butterflies in that.

Have you read much of what people are actually asking for? Personally, I don't want a "happy go lucky" ending. I just want an ending where Shepard and the people he is closest to are not torn away from each other forever. Out of 7 endings, none of them allow for that. There's not one ending where Shepard and his LI can stay together. Not one where the Normandy doesn't get marooned without him. All I want is an 8th ending (that leaves all the precious dark endings alone) which has Shepard *together* with the people who matter most in his life at the end. I want one 'Together' ending, not some lame 'Rainbow' ending.

Choice between watching the quarians or geth annihilated, if you can't broker peace? Just for starters...

Oh, there's also the "thing" that happens regardless of what you choose: (MASSIVE SPOILER VID WARNING)

Unit, I get the feeling you and I see eye to eye on this whole situation.

Not trying to come off as creepy, I just keep up on the many threads regarding the spoilers, and notice that you have the same attitude toward things.

Gotta agree with you and the poster who mentioned Hollywood. "Up" endings are much more pleasing to most than dark ones. Particularly when they wrap up a series which, to this point, has been relatively upbeat in tone. I realize that the war would come, and be devestating, but I didn't get a doom and gloom vibe from 1 or 2.

By now, I'm resigned to the endings. We can hope fore some sort of patch or DLC all day, but I plan to just enjoy the game as it is and not worry too much. I recommend the spoiler group for anyone who feels the same. The crowd over there is of a decidedly tamer sort than over here.

No offense intended to the moderates. ^_^

Yeah like Titanic was going to have an ending other than "the ship sinks and 1,500 Irish die". Though Leonardo di Caprio's character died, so at least that's a checkmark towards the "happy ending" column.

But at least we got to see Kate Winslet's boobs, not to mention one of the most hilariously memorable death scenes in cinema, so it's all good.
