The Synergy ending, which Xio showed us last night is the "best" ending.  It's the hardest to get and Joker actually looks happy even though they crashed.  And there's more variables in play.  It also depends if you have the Human Reaper's heart or brain which is based on your Collector Base choice.  They each make some variations harder or easier.  Once you get over a certain readiness level though you can always get the Synergy end though it may be harder to attain.  Apparently most of the variation is more in the missions to collect War Assets as your decisions in this and prior games can effect what options you have there.


We know why Joker's happy, don't we? Posted Image

Congrats, you wrote one of the best contributions in this thread (in my opinion, of course), it was very interesting to read it. :)

According to Mass Effect 3's producer, Mike Gamble, the ending is "not cut and dry".
Speaking to 360 Magazine, Gamble said, "There are many ways to end Shepard’s story, right? I wouldn’t necessarily say ending Shepard’s story means one thing or the other, like life or death or whatever. It comes to a conclusion and how you get to that conclusion."
"There a risks involved in how you get there or how you completely not get there," Gamble explained. "As in the previous games, you’ll make a decision and you’ll see the outcome and there are huge risks to all of those decisions. It’s not cut and dry."
"There are many different endings," he added. "We wouldn’t do it any other way. How could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard and then be forced into a bespoke ending that everyone gets? But I can’t say any more than that…"
He won't need to. In just a few days Mass Effect 3 fans will see for themselves. The game is set to release March 6th.



SO RELAX EVERYONE PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!


Dude, we already know the endings.  People are playing the game.  There are charts on how to get the ending you want.

And now that they have to populate a planet, I'm reminded of Fry's love affair with Lucy Lui bot in Futurama and why it's dangerous.:lol:

So Joker get's to be with his li but not Shepard. What a kick in the quad Bioware.

Only in the Synergy ending.

In all other endings, EDI and the Geth are wiped out.

Its all about comments like these from Bioware staff:

"I honestly think the player base is going to be really happy with the way we've done it. You had a part in it. Every decision you've made will impact how things go. The player's also the architect of what happens. "Whether you're happy or angry at the ending, know this: it is an ending. BioWare will not do a "Lost" and leave fans with more questions than answers after finishing the game, Gamble promised."

How are we the "architects" of what happens if we can't build and end that makes us happy rather than angry?  Oh, BW.

This is why I still have a hard time believing there isn't at least one good ending.  Has Xio experimented with all ending choices with various level sof GAW and GR ratings?  What would be the point of making out the GAW/GR ratings if it only altered two variables, which only matter in ONE set of endings? (Destroy)  Also, the idea that Merge would be locked behind this mechanic makes even less sense.

Never before has ME locked out an ending through some bizarre mechanic, half of which is tied to MP.

Shepard survivng is in fact the hardest endign to get. You need 4000 ems.


Merge does seem like the best ending overall.

I think they can die in Control if your EMS score is low enough.

Not really sure. I remember them saying you could get the best ending without MP as long as you did enough sidequests and spent enough time collecting.

I think it is 4000 plus carry over status (IE previous games, what you did, etc.) or 5000 in a new game.

It was miscommunication. Xoi comfirmed to get the best aka Shepard surving destory, you need 4000 ems. Though it makes no sense how Shepard can survive destory in teh first place....

'Best' ending is subjective.

The hardest ending to obtain based on EMS level is 'Destroy - Shepard survives'

The secret is that there is no "best" ending. All of them are varying degrees of crap. <_<

Even the 4th Destroy ending is a "lipstick on a pig" type of thing.
