No I don't think that it makes sense or not, as I haven played it yet so I'll judge first it when I play it myself thanks ;)

I bet the people who got spoiled (especially here) from the ending are probably the majority who probably don't like the ending. :ph34r:


I was referring more to your awful phrasing, but, cool, go ahead, ignore the data, and play however you want expecting whatever you want.

And, yeah, the people who got the ending spoiled for them generally don't like it, if that's what you're trying to suggest. Again, I can't really tell what you mean.

Wait. So the kid being the Guardian is just more pretentious artsy bull****? Wow just wow.


Yep. The ending and indeed the kid from start to finish, is trying to force the players motivation into something.

It might work well for others, but I think most adult gamers already can create their own reasons for motivation. They don't need to have something dangled in their face telling them why they fight or whats at stake. They already know - and they certainly didn't need it for the last two games.


You have to remember that Mass effect 3 is the best place to start the trilogy, or so I'm told.

In a way, it is. You haven't spent hours with the first two games preparing for it.


Well,I have!
And Iam not so disappointed!
It's a good way to end it and to start &creating a new trilogy or bring it to another level!
Remember!This is Shepard's story!

Why couldn't they just go out the way they came with a voice over with Udina, Hackett, and Anderson giving us a wrap up. No reason to introduce the first "child" and letting him ruin everything.

Cool. I'm glad you only cared about what happens to your Shepard and not the rest of the crew the game has been conditioning the rest of us, for 3 games now, to care about. I'm glad your ignorance allows you to enjoy the game. It must be nice.

Here is one for laughs, Over at the ME3 Facebook page they asked what people are doing before ME3 hits and what type of ending they want to see.

And amid all the hopes and dreams of blue children, Shep Tali loving ending with wedding and kissing the brides face
ME3 has this comment "This positivity is incredible and encouraging! Thank you all so much for the love! We are glad to have such great and dedicated fans!"

I sh!t you not so much for the hopes and dreams of fairy tale endings!


Most people are not big BioWare fans. They will play the game, think it's really good, and move on. They don't scrutinize things like we do here. 

It's hard to say what the public response to the game will be.

I never watched that before, but judging from the way you phrased it, the ending is ****** as well i take it?

Speaking of anime, i would rather they stole from cowboy bebop. Not an ideal one, but at least shepard can go sacrifice himself knowing that his crew is safe and sound...


I agree, Cowboy Bebop would have been better.  Divergence Eve is, in a nutshell, about absurdly proportioned girls in skimpy clothing using robots to fight giant monsters that occasionally come out of mankinds hyperspace gates.  The only real difference is that the heroine's heroic sacrifice blew up all the interdimensional gates and rewound time three years, rather then the cool effects we get here. 

Sadly, I think that outcome, cop out that it is, might hae been better....

yeah... pretty lame. Just posting this link again so it doesn't get buried.




With the edition of the Grandpa and the kid they should have just started ME1 with "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away"...the games didn't need a framework anyway. Anyway have to agree the kid/citadel is cringe worthy.

I'm laughing at the reply's by Icinix and omfBAMF about what I saw over at the ME3 Facebook.

I thought is all funny and sad, those poor fans are going to be heartbroken, but hey maybe that's why these boards have not been shutdown yet, everyone is over at the facebook page basking in all the positivity of the soon to be broken hearted and angery,

Oh the epic sh!t storm that is brewing ohh I can't wait.

this is re-enforces Hollywood's number one rule - child actors do NOT make good dramatic actors. I'm not sure how many people hear would remember Babylon 5, but when Sherridan finally faced the personification of the Shadows (the serie's big bad who were actually quite simliar to the Reapers), it shapeshifted between various different characters from the series (living and dead, friends and foes) while monologuing about their motivations - that was awesome and approperiate. This, this was just some kid you didn't know and saw at the start of the game for like 2 minutes, who cares about that kid! people care about the characters we spent the last 2 games (4 years) learning about. Throwing that kid in there at the end is just lazy, what has that kid done to justify such a significant role in the climax of the story, aside from die 2 minutes after he was introduced.


It's sounds like, though, that Shepard's relationship to this kid, or the idea of him, is developed through several scenes throughout the game. That's not lazy. It could be the same kind of real character development they've done with the squad characters we already know and love.

That doesn't make me like what seems to be the unavoidable fate of the Normandy, but it makes that particular theme with the kid pretty solid. (The epilogue VA may not have been the best, tho... :?) And it doesn't make me like the idea that Shepard will never see his LI or crew again. I can't say enough how much I want him to face the end of his story with the people who've lived that story with him at his side. That's a major sticking point for me, I'm afraid.

But, the tie between the kid playing with the spaceship at the beginning and asking about 'visiting the stars' at the end, for example, is nice. I like that quite a bit, actually. When I eventually get the game (I can't bring myself to drop $60 for it if the Normandy's fate is really as bad as its rumored to be), I'll be curious to see how that plays out.

Ouch.

Lap it up ME3 Facebook page - once you shatter their hopes and dreams they'll be sucking their positivity right back off the page.


Honestly, I really don't see the point of all these last minute interviews about "CHOICES!!!", blog posts about "JOURNEY!!!" etc. Aside from adding more fuel to the incoming fire maybe?


Its a shame because the journey and the choices do matter through the game. The journey is awesome. The choices will destroy races or save them. The choices you make will determine so much through the game - it just all means nothing at the end.

The reason you say its the Journey and not the Destination is becuase of the person you become, or the knowledge you gain by the time you reach the end. You look back and go this is where I became this, or learnt this. Then you carry on with that new persona or knowledge.

BUT- If the choices you make and the journey you take is nullified by all leading to a single destination no matter what you do and has no bearing on anything at the end - then the journey was for nothing.

Hence the confusion. We know that there's a lot of choices and consequences in the game itself, judging from the leak. So why not just give it a little further boost and apply that to the ending as well? As someone has already mentioned, DA:O did this really well....
