Ah yes, the miracle patch prayer.

Sorry folks, we're stuck with our crap endings. If we get other options, they're going to charge us for them-- and even that is highly unlikely.

Please shoot this idea down if you think its wrong but the idea of a Day One patch with new / different endings sort of makes sense:
- Bioware and EA knew there were many leaks
- They must have expected Space Edition owners to leak everything

So a Day One patch allows you to offer different ending(s) without having to charge via DLC (which a lot of people would be unhappy about) and those with the Space Edition couldn't complain they didn't have the full version of the game (despite having a free copy).

And how do you think the 100,000's of people without internet access are going to feel about that ?

I'd imagine they'd be rather p***ed off, and you couldn't really blame them. I'm not suggesting it was a good idea, just that it sort of made sense

EA Will get even more hell

The thing is, people that I have seen that actually played the game are mostly content with what happened. Could all of the in-betweeners really justify the ending? From people that have played said everything between the beginning and before the ending is the mass effect bliss that we all love. Maybe from our perspective this is a franchise holocaust but, could actually going through the game change our views?

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

of course they could have, if there was no remotly happy one (sorry, but even in films that are presented as "art" with endings that wretch your gut, there are lots of people (not the critics...those wanna be's love such endings - not that i am totally oposed, if they fully fit the scenario, which is not the case here, as sheppard is portrayed as the hero who can avert almost anything bad or at least stop it from going from "this is bad" to "this is the end of all (collectors, as he could not save everyone, same with the geth, there were some deaths, too"))

so yeah, they could have known (maybe the do...day one patch anyone? or the leaks are fake?...hope dies tomorrow i guess...well not for me, i am from europe (germany....yeah, i am EVIL

Content indeed, but I want my "some will be extremely happy", which so far are the trolls.

Hmmn, no.  Because alot of people wanted a reasonably happy ending. I'm not talking rainbows and ponies, but something reasonable.( Something along the lines of the ending to the first series of FMA.)

Maybe, maybe. I will still get the game though. Halo Reach screwed up some Halo canon, I still got that. Maybe I'm a sucker but, I feel the game is a pretty nice pick up just for the gameplay itself. I had a lot of fun with the Multiplayer demo.

[Baronesa]

Putting this here as well.

This is what I was expecting, and speaking only for myself.

Perhaps, people should start talking about what they were expecting.

I wanted or was expecting at least 1 ending (the perfect and damn hard to get) where:
Galaxy wide:
All fleets are destroyed below 1/3 to 1/2 of their original size.
Home planets and colonies on various stages of destruction
Citadel and Mass Relays still in place (keeping galactic civilization still going)
- How many are saved or how severe the destruction is, depending on the way you played (collect the points!)

Squad/Normandy/Past Crew
I was expecting deaths, no matter what. We got Wrex and Mordin... and I would have expected a few more Virmire scenarios.
Treat this as the suicide mission, your actions greatly increase the chances of most of them surviving.
LI and Shepard get to be together in the end

Uncertainty: With the weakened stage of the galaxy, I could see someone raising the alarms that now the Terminus system could try something against Citadel Space. (This would also open the door for interesting post-war DLC that I would love to see...)

Rainbows and ponies right? -.- The only "Happy" thing is that in the midst of all the destruction, you were able to pull your team through and keep them alive (if some SHOULD be injured, mind you) and you end up with LI.

Now... that was what I was expecting for the most perfect possible ending, the one you should work hard to get.

Other endings? In all the others I was expecting for Shepard/most of the crew to die... simply you didn't prepared enough, you made sacrifices... maybe even some planets fully wiped out? yes. I could see the current endings on this category, a Pyrrhic victory. You destroy/control/merge and stop the current threat (and in destroy(merge the future, at least FROM the Reapers) but at the cost of Galactic Civilization.

And finally... even if you did all the critical plot missions but you didn't cared to raise your war assets, I was expecting for an ending with the Reapers wiping out EVERYTHING. Simply put, you were not prepared and the Galaxy payed the price. In fact I would really love to see an ending like this as one of the possible ones.


So, basically: Best Possible ending (hard to get), Worst possible Ending (Reapers win). Middle of the road endings (current ones fit here perfectly)

[AlexMBrennan]

Yes, War Assets. Because we really need mechanised krogan infantry to fight an armada of Reaper superdreadnoughts outnumbering our fleets 10:1

Jesus this thread still do people really think that shepherd deserves a happy ending how many lives did shepherd end in his quest to stop the reapers. Also war on a scale this large happy ending is impossible everything is gonna be changed the people the way of life everything. And regarding people wanting shepherd to end with his LI and think that's just an expected ending needs to sit down and talk to a military widow. I literally ha e no issue with the Normandy being stranded crew members dead shepherd stranded or dead. If the million year old cycle is broken nothing else matters

This.

I think it's what most people were expecting, myself included.  Bioware could've made sure that the ending where you can save your crew and most of the galaxy from destruction is damn hard to accomplish, but also include the possibility that Reapers wipe out everything, and of course many shades of gray in between those two options.

Instead, all we got was the shades of gray (if the leaks are correct, and they seem to be spot on).

I didn't know we were playing MOH (the reboot), COD or something else which screams "army" and "realistic/authentic scenarios".

Remember when BioWare kept saying the suicide mission was REALLY hard and it took about a month for people to figure out how to save everyone + crew? So much for a "suicide mission".

It's a fictional story. No way does it require a realistic outcome especially when players were supposed to make their own choices. What's the point of us all having our own individual Shepard's if we all ultimately end up in the exact same pile of **** anyway.

I'm just going to smash everyone's opinion together to answer this.

You have your endings, we don't. Mass Effect is a video game series, not life. If we want a life lesson, we'll turn off our consoles and watch the news. Mass Effect is not "realistic" - physics are thrown out the window and things in the game are almost breaking the border of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Mass Effect is not your standard shooter game - its known for being a RPG. 

We knew we would defeat the Reapers. Its obvious. And we, we knew that we would save Earth. It's predictable. In ME1, it was a war (smaller though) and we still had a happy ending. So why the hell can't we have a happy ending in ME3? Seriously, added a happy ending in there but make people work for it. Then more people are happy. 

[kingsims]

Can we get confirmation that in the ending your 2 squadmates teleport to Normandy thing is a game bug? Because mass effect doesn't have replicators or transporter technology. Unless the Normandy got upgraded with star fleet technology?
