So we can't get the ending we want after all?

Another user has enjoyed the game and ending, calling it the best of the three (game wise and story that is, I think):

Did you check he's not a Bioware employee ? After what happened with DA2 on metacritic you can't be too sure of these things.


He is a new user. Suspect.

Give it a rest, Bob.

I get it, you think any positive review is bought off or is made by BioWare employees. But you don't need to harp on about it.


Are you denying that a Bioware employee posted a review on metacritic without declaring that he was a Bioware employee?

It happened, it's a fact deal with it. It makes anything suspect unless proven otherwise.

Was it? Really?


The first time? No sweat. After that ...not so much

However Ashley was a fine damn marine and I loved it when she recited Tennyson, but she was so damn xenophobic...fine xenocautious it put me off a little.

Kaidan had some depth to him not as much as Ashley but he was...useful. 

My mostly paragon Shep had Kaidan stay with the bomb and tells herself she chose the mission not Kaidan, I KNOW DRAMA! So she regrets leaving Ashely and begins to see her in nightmares about Mindoir.

Man I should be a writer for Bioware...


I'm pretty convinced most of us could write more compelling stories and characters.


Please tell me this is an exaggeration... I mean... people actually think so?

Bob, there is nothing for me to 'deal' with. And nowhere did you see me attempt to deny it. I am saying you're sounding like a damned broken record, even saying a review is embargoed and paid off when something isn't even a damned review.

Yes, a person giving a quick opinion on a podcast is a 'review', nevermind the fact that the guy even mentioned that there was an embargo. You didn't even listen to that podcast I wager.

And forgive my 'damneds', please.

Edit: Others saying they could write a better story and characters:

I'm not commenting on whether the story and characters are good here. But, I don't think you realise how hard it is to write a good story and characters. So, I'd like to see you try.

There is nothing I can say here that won't get me banned.

Grimdark would work if we were expecting it, but we had no way to expect it. Some people point out its a war, ME2 was a suicide mission emphasis on suicide, yet Bioware made it not just possible but easy to make sure everyone survived it. I chose not to have everyone survive it because it was a suicide mission, but I made that choice


Grimdark would work in ME if there was a break from grimdark. The primary issue players (that I can oberserve and infer) are having with the game is there's no solace. People die (by the ship load). Betrayal (do the words political **** storm mean anything to you). Love triangles need resolutions (should they exist). Sacrifices. All this is overheaded by the Reapers. After correcting all the **** that's wrong with the galaxy, you need to take what battered and bloodied sons of ****es are left and you need to walk into the gates. And yet, after going through a giant ****storm and out the other side... ? What's left for the player to grasp onto? What's left for the player to say to themselves, "we fought the good fight / we did what was necessary to survive?" Much, if not all of the "happy feel good" is left to conjecture and/or the players' imaginations. I'm not saying I don't like the color and tone ME3 takes. However, I'm saying all things in moderation and all things with counterbalance. It's like starving hounds before the hunt. They get pissed. They want to catch whatever they're set upon and they want to devour it. In this case, there's nothing to eat. Dog starves enough, the dog turns on the handler.

In short, if you're going with a dark, desensatized "everything sucks" approach to a game, it's best to not try it with the last game in a series. Particularly when following in the footsteps of Mass Effect 2.

Dragon Age 2 they confirmed it the night before release after people had been pointing it out on youtube for days.

One of the reviews I think it was escapist even mentioned there being autoattack but chosing not to use it Image IPB

Why is vent boy the guardian?

Why is the Normandy out by the Charon Relay?

Is the VS gone half the game if they were an LI, because I've head otherwise even if they weren't

Implied emotional symbol.

Either Joker ran away after Harbinger decimated the area where Shepard was, or the attack was failing and Shepard ordered Joker to flee with the crew.

Yes they're gone regardless. Highly advisable to talk to them positively while they're away from you in between Missions, the Council Coup is halfway into the game.

I would advice people to take a deep breath and read through this thread and not ruin it with unnecessary negativity. Worked for me at least.

So Joker does run away or you tell him to flee....So either the best pilot in fleet loses his daddy bags or my shepard says something I would never make him say. Awwww man.

With regards, see my post. I would be more than happy for this sort of ending however, it needs to exist in game. Not in someone's head. And while I'd be the first to agree that leaving things open for interpretation is a fantastic medium to explore, open ended conjecture is usually best deployed when the interpreter has NO INPUT OR INVESTMENT on the situation. In this case, ME3 leaves an open door and nothing for users to attach themselves to, after spending the previous two games (and however much time was spent on those) creating those emotional attachments. With most (if not all) of the previous attachments (the main character, LI's, NPCs, etc.) gone, what's the point? I really cannot express myself any better than with the hunting dog metaphor. Starve the dog enough and it's going to turn on you.

I just heard that the leak was caused by an angry Q&A tester who got fired. If this is true the video floating around on youtube MAY just be a variation on all of the endings.

The leaks are also coming from several space edition players and people who pirated the game.

You know what I'm gonna miss the most?

The notion of one day, maybe a year or so from now, cracking open ME1 and starting over again. I really liked that idea.

Now I don't see the point. Can't save the galaxy, can't let it burn. Best I can do is decide what flavor of misery I can give everyone.

That's another thing that bothered. Why would EA let loose early copies of ME3 knowing that it would inevitably get spoiled? Regardless of what they thought about their ending, why do that?

Most people also seem to be playing with an uninmported Shep.

May be I am grasping at straws but I have to have at least some hope left.

It just leaves me surmising that either this is really how it ends and it's as awful as I now expect -- or that the day 1 patch is going to complete it.

There is now way they could have not know that people would hate the endings.
