This MIGHT show the normandy crew being rescued!


maybe the germans like bad endings.

Well, they did chose Hitler.


Oh, by the maker. Let me reach through the screen and throttle you.
Also, history fail.


Know anything about German parliamentary history?

Hitler might have intimidated the Reichstag by forcing them to pass the Enabling Act, but it was the German people who elected enough ****s to the Reichstag that Hitler could become Chancellor under Hindenberg in the first place. 


Sure, he had support. Less than a third of all voters. And I stress voters, and not the entire country.
Also, it was him bribing Papen that made him chancellor.
So, first, don't lecture me about history, second, don't be a patronizing little **** and third, if you truly wish to discuss WWII, by all means, send me a message. If it makes you feel better.

So how badly does Bioware hurt their reputation, as well as their fan base going forward after everyone plays this game and goes through these endings?


You forget that there will be people who will like the endings offered. The fans of BioWare's previous games might be disappointed, though. You are assuming that everyone will be upset by the lack of choices. 


Whether or not you like it , it's still pretty much nonsense.

Regardless. I have been pleased with the writing and plot events in ME thus far. Due this, I have no reason to believe that ME3 will be any different.

Losing some of what you've fought so hard to save, allows you to truly appreciate what is left standing. That is drama; that is tragedy; the right mix makes for one whopper of a story.

+1

The WW2 history lessons for people with superficial knowledge should stop RIGHT f*ing NOW!

edit: regarding Santorum/Republicans. I was certainly not referring soley to those two factors.
Just take a closer look at what your current president has been doing since he got elected into office. Especially at what he did on New year's eve.

I don't care if they want to kill Shepard, quickly or slowly. I do care, however, that they want Shepard to die alone?! If the world is ending don't you want to be surrounded by your friends, family, lover? That's all I ask for. I want to be with my love interest, whether it's in death or stranded on some planet. Would that really have been so hard? Crash the Normandy? Ok, but Shepard better be there with the rest of the crew. Ugh. I know I shouldn't hold onto a tiny sliver of hope that somehow, some random decision I make changes things...

Sure, but it seems we don't get an aftermath grand picture to properly identify what is actually left standing.

Please, you really don't wanna do this, as I'm actually studying history and I'm very inclined to respond to your very undifferenciated statement. But this is really not the place to discuss such a topic, so don't ignite it any further. I beg of you... ;)


Since the guy at the top of the quote tree didn't state his source so i can google translate it, it could have been from an old WW2 pamphlet which had very good predicting skills except for the endings.

They also like the ME3 endings.

Theres a difference between drama and melodrama, tragedy and wangst. I'd class Mass Effect 3's endings as the latter of each. 

There might only be one solution to all of this:

Agreed I wouldn't want to die alone. If I'm stranded, I would like to at least be with my LI saying "Well babe, Bioware screwed us, but at least we are together.":D

I apologize for being patronizing. But, still, if the ****s did as pathetically in the polls as they did in the 1920s, they would not have been able to get themselves into the position where they could marginalize and negotiate with stakeholders like von Papen and push for power.

However, it's not necessarily the Germans' fault, per se. The Weimar Constitution made the country politically unstable because it fragmented the Reichstag by allowing minority parties seats there, regardless of their share of the vote, and forcing parties into coalitions that continously fell apart, requiring new elections every time it happened. The ****s took advantage of this fragmentary environment to play politics and gain power. But without enough votes, they can't do so, and so it's partially the German people's fault.

But again, it was the Great Depression. Hitler promised them he and his party would make Germany great again. Who could resist that talk?

I'm really hoping I'm dead wrong over the endings - maybe a 0.0001% chance of that happening. To me at least, and this perhaps doesn't agree with anyone else, but the presented ending are flat out lazy writing, dumb lazy effort then going to cut scenes and even more ridiculous cut scenes saying we don't give a damn BUT here's Joker with his computer girlfriend and OH BTW we dump them somewhere we don't even know ourselves.

I completely agree.  Hitler was a very bad person, and a 
tyrant (though no more bigotted than anyone else of his time).  However, comparing him to something just plain evil such as Bioware, is indeed immature, and not the proper way to show that he wasn't a good person.

That justifies the inclusion of a grimdark ending. But it doesn't justify the *exclusion* of an alternative, still dark ending where Shep and his LI/crew aren't forced to separate for all time.
