I am confused at every ones agitation over the ending of ME3. Yes we were able to control the outcome of the first 2 games to a certain extent, but not entirely. It is stated in the beginning of the game that there is no way of knowing what could happen if the Crucible is used. The reward of no longer fearing a reaper invasion was enough to decide to use the Crucible, even though using it could have just as easily wiped out all life in the galaxy as it could have stopped the reapers. I am disappointed that even if Shepard lives he can not see his friends again, but he stopped the reapers which is the whole purpose of the game. You all seem to expect to be able to have what ever ending you want regardless of the designers and creators ideas. Why should they change their IP just to appease you? These games are all the product of their creativity and design process. Why should you that sit around and play the game deride them for their ideas and decisions. It only makes any that whine about the ending seem like self-righteous brats that feel entitled to something for nothing. Yet regardless of how great the rest of the game was and how great the other 2 were, all you can do is whine and complain about the last 5 min of a game. I feel sorry for the gaming industry if this is the type of customer they will have to continue pandering too. If game designers and publishers are constantly fearing offending one group or another they will try to hard to produce a game that appeases everyone and pleases no one.
That's a bit of generalisation you do there. Personally, from the PR and marketing stuff, i was awaiting a relatively different game. I just don't think everything is as perfect as you do. I don't like the ending, but i find the gameplay and storytelling kind of so-so. I loved my first playthrough, but when i did it again the fight just were so repetitive that i hardly wanted to keep going. Also, how they'll break the action to show one of the old characters die was, i thought, kind of cheap, since they pretty much use the same formula for every encounters. Again, it's just
my opinion, not that of everyone on this thread.
Also, i find it odd that you think those who didn't like that endings are self-righteous brats if they use their good old article 19 of the Human's right charts : freedom of speech.
I will admit i've seen some people act immaturily about it, but that's a small minority of the well thinking people of this community, who are mostly just
asking BioWare peacefully for some DLCs.
In the end though, i see no harm done in game designers actually working hard to do a good game, instead of rehashed lazyness that sells nowadays.
