When I first saw the ending.. I was so botherd and emotional burned out I couldn't sleep the whole night, cause I was thinking about the Mess I had seen.. trying to make some sense of it.. but I couldn't .. and then there came sadness.. dissappointment.. anger... the only thing that somhow made me happy was that a majority of people had the same opinion of the endings like me..

And I had never such felt such a dissappointment on a games ending bevore.. and I played a lot of games...

This echoes many peoples feelings, almost verbatim.
And as you say, at least we have each other to vent to in a similarly minded enviornment (mostly).
I know personally I'd have given up on Mass Effect all together otherwhiese by now.

I think  "the truth" was a false rumour all along.

And this is something they totally brought on themselves. Don't feel bad for standing up and telling them this isn't good enough.

exactly, the MP part was true and the only info they really had, someone made the rest up

*looks around pleadingly* Someone help me with this Rakshasa? :blink:


*squeezes in between you both and scowls at chmarr* dude she has a GF leave her be.

So who thinks the Green and Blue endings are pointless due to the fact that it goes against what Shepard has been doing through 3 games? So technically we really do only have one ending, the Red one<_<

Yep. And you have to backstab the Geth and EDI. Not out of character for Shep. AT ALL. :lol:


I thought you were asleep, but yeah all of the options given to you in the end don't make any sense for Shepard's character... :?


I agree here... Shep, the guy allways arguing, fighting and all.. doesn't oppose or even ask the child about the hooks of all choices.. he only stands there like and idiot.. answering totaly defeaten "Maybe.." .. "oh TMI was right..".. "Oh but will be destroyed.." totaly passive.. like he is defeatan anyway... totaly non-Shep like..

And btw.. in my opinion STar brat is a liar anyway... I think it only tells Shep nonsense to make him use the crucible.

I find this hilarious, BioWare saying that is pretty much them acknowlodging that the ending made no logical sense.

Hmmm...No, Shep might choose that one actually, I mean choices aren't meant to be easy after all and Shep is always there to make the hard ones.

I just hope they can survive (but that's meta-playing - Shep doesn't know what Bioware says over Twitter...).

But my Parangon Shep would choose nothing. And fire at StarBrat with a rocket lawnchair. :devil:

I mean, sure choices are hard. I love hard choices. But each of those choices violate Mass Effect's core themes.

It was always about free will. Not organics vs synthetics.

Not even a third way or a Paragon/Renegade interrupt ? This isn't Mass Effect. This is something else.

lol i personally haven't either with my 2 times through, my brother said she did though so im going by that and what i heard Bioware say about it somewhere, regardless IMO he is lieing because he doesn't want you to choose red and tries to make you falter with the geth/EDI etc dieing thing

I am really sceptical if BW will offer somthing satisfing in summer.. and I have made up my own ending  (headcanon ^^).. but if the DLC in summer will be fishy like the endings atm.. the ME franchise by BW will be dead for me and I will not spent any more money in ME Games.

*shivers* I wasn't defending the ending I was just saying that if Shepard has the choice of choosing Save the Galaxy but destroy the geth and EDI or destroy the galaxy and save the geth and EDI, well a Paragon would choose Saving the galaxy, but he/she would talk to the geth and EDI first.

Meh whatever way we spin it, the ending still sucks ass and only alternate endings will change that. Certainly not this stupid extended cut DLC.

 Yeah, that irked me too. What is the point of a love interest if the player cannot kiss and hug on demand? :wub: It seems like Mass Effect 3 became a chaos theory case of small dissapointing events leading to the kick to the gut ending (No quest management, typically tiny levels, etc cetera). Speaking of which, if g_Bassi is still here, did he/she post a link to that contest-winning commentary a few days ago? I bet I have similar gaming experiences to him/her in ME3.


Oh great, now I've got people questioning my gender too now, lol.

And no, I didn't post the entire critique. Just posted the last part, about the ending. Which is here:

social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/9512916/3200#11263726

I'm still planning on rewriting the other parts, becuase there's a lot I have to add to it now. But I'll probably put it up on a new blog once I'm done. (I have no idea how to actually set up a blog, as I've never done it.)

EDI has been shown to survive the destroy ending, but no one has yet figured out if it's a glitch or that the catalyst is lying, I'm personally going for the latter, the catalyst has every reason to lie.

I played through 3 times with red ending and never seen EDI get out, is it tied to EMS or something else?

According to the Weekes interview thing it was intentional.

In that case I can't help, as I play on Xbox. I would advise (if you haven't already and it's the same as on the Xbox) going into the extras on the main menu and then downloadable content. That is as much as I can advise.

Oh, I know it was labeled as a 4chan fake, but when you look at  recent tweets from Gamble, you just have to start wondering if perhaps there was some truth in .. ahem, "Truth".  :)

Although, all of you are right - that does not excuse them for making such an end that is completely disconnected from the rest of the series, even if they did have something planned before hand.

Everything was intentional. Keeping us all in the dark? Intentional. Colorful ending with an a, b, c choice? Intentional. Space Magic :wizard: ? Intentional...

Oh wait. Everything was art!

my thinking as well Mr. Bond, he just doesn't want you to choose the red option so he tries to make you falter with the whole "destroy all synthetics" part, nothing he says should be trusted

Unless they go for the IT. But I don't believe that they will.
