I'll post it when I get home, can't get to Facebook from work. 

Ok, no worries, no hurry, I'm interested in it as an academic curiosity more than anythingelse, since I feel the problems with the ending run deep within the collective concept of a narrative, as well as on game specific level.

you know the longer time goes by the thing I am beginning to hate about the ending the most (and mind you I hate every aspect of the ending) is the Normandy scene at the end. 1) it has the plothole of how the squadmates on the ground got on the Normandy 2) it basically has Joker both committing Treason and being a coward by fleeing the battle (all the while abandoning Shepard (thanks for returning the favor Joker) 3) everyone who gets out of the Normandy is smiling (once again Earth and Shepard says thank you)

Agreed. My squad mates with me in London in the final batte were Liara and Ashley and it makes utterly no sense how or why they would suddenly end up on the Normany and why that Normandy would be running away. Its out of character for Joker, the squad mates...everyone. No matter I try and get my mind around it, I just can't. Theres no way they could get onto that ship so quickly and no reason they would even want to.

At least if the squad mates were still in London at the end my mind could connect the dots when Shep woke up in the rubble. I could imagine her being found and re-united with her crew. It would make sense and be more satisfying.

Its been weeks since the end of ME3 and it *still* really really bothers me. This is NOT a replayable game which is a shame seeing as the bulk of it was incredibly amazing

Garrus (my LI) and Javik were my squadmates. Them getting out of the Normandy along with Joker flying away were some of the most bothersome things for me as well...

I had one of my friends go "I heard rumors that the endings sucked, but its getting great reviews so it can't be that bad!" I just shook my head

Hello squad, I hope everyone is in fine spirits this day, not long to go now, maybe, just maybe we will get what we seek, it's looking a little hopeful, I for one am a little hopeful, I need to be, without hope I think I might have...well, I have hope, lets leave it at that, here is someone else with hope I found it a very enjoyable read.

And now back to my golf, moneypenny was insistant that I cheated in the last round, though she did have a smile on her face while saying it.

Old = original thread stalkers/posters.

We seem to come in waves. As newer unhappy players join this thread, the ones that came before them seem to gain some sort of patience and start waiting. But it is still good to see some of the peeps around who used to post and stalk with me nearly 2000 pages ago...

That being said, Phoenix, cane? really? kinky...but I don't swing that way.

Ironically some of us DO have a cane...*Sighs*

I have been mostly stalking. And I did use a cane too, on bad days some years ago. Glad to not having to use it nowadays.

I've nearly done a 2nd play through but I just cant bring myself to even start the London run which is depressing me on top of the no job thing and my neighbour across the street wanting to evict me cos we park a van outside our house cos it spoils his view of...the side of my house and the dual carriageway next to it.....sigh.facepalm.

Some people have nothing better to do in life than complain.

[Teleraine]

I wouldnt mind if it was a valid complaint like Retake  but Its seriously hard sometimes to not just side with the reapers.

You just have to make sure the cane you use actually reflects your personality

So April, what do you guys think is going to happen?

Pondering on what will happen is as pointless as teaching a Vorcha abstinence education.

Just go play another video game for a while and check in from time to time. Currently I'm playing Amalur while waiting for Diablo III.

On that thought...Witcher 2 is releasing an enhanced (ie Fixed with more content) game April 17th. Now if they wanted to release an Enhanced edition of ME3 as a DLC with fixed ending and a lot of additional content, I would buy that. But that is also a bit borderline since it could be seen as encouraging companies to release functional skeletons of the game and charge us for the primary organs.

I wonder what Grahme Greene would think if he realised his character was a coward and a traitor..

Indeed. Finding the right cane is very important.

I take my hat off to you for trying a 2nd playthrough as I can't bring myself to even try another playthrough.  Like a lot of ppl in this thread I've been playing Journey and wow what an amazing game.

[BlackDevil06]

I'm about to cross No-Man's-Land on my 2nd playthrough now. Seeing the spacebattle and groundbattle again showed how poorly integrated the War asset system are. Instead of making lots of different war assets, there should've been fewer, but better integrated. For example there is an Armali Sniper Unit you can recover. Why not make a cutscene where Alliance soldiers are being overrun, then the snipers take them out. Or show how Aralakh company led by Grunt enganges the enemy in a fierce battle. The Geth Prime platoon could also be shown in a cutscene. Or soldiers that have to hold an important positition close to being overrun when they get help from the Salarian STG led by Major Kirrahe. He comes to the soldier in charge and saying "Salarian STG here to hold the line."

And during the space battle why not show how the SSV Leipzig cutting through one Reaper, seeing as it was one of the first Alliance ships to test to successfully test the Thanix Cannon. And also the Destiny Ascension. I'm thining of a scene like in Episode 4 A new Hope wjhere Han comes in at the end to save Luke. A Reaper could be about to take out an important ship when the Destiny Ascension arrives and tears through it.

There are countless other scenes with the former squadmates like Samara and so on. This battle would've been probably the most epic in gaming history. And the War Assets would've really mattered.
