I played last night till almost 4:00 AM and have not yet gone back to the game. It's very hard to get psyched up to play knowing it's all for nothing in the end. I'm seriously thinking of just deleting it, and chocking it up to experience, never to buy another Bioware game again.

Yeah, I think the game is great, but I can't even do 3 missions, MP or SP, without quitting because I remember what it leads to. Instead of joy like I used to have in ME1 and 2, I feel emptiness in all of the games now.

Gotta let Bioware know how we feel by continuing to comment and voting on this.

I've seen better endings from my own crap, which still got flushed to the sewers. Good endings! Good endings! Good endings! We want them now!

What really makes this awful for me is something a lot of people has mentioned. That everything just feel pointless....I can't bring myself to start another save, despite the fact that the game is incredible overall. The endings just make me feel empty concerning the whole series, like what's the point. It hits even harder when I see people writing the same thing here. It's not just an ending, they in many cases destroyed people's love for the ME Universe. I'm not really angry about the endings....just a sense of loss for what could have been my favorite series of all time and that this will be my last Bioware game.

For what it's worth bioware, you managed to do everything I had hope for this last game, except those few minutes that destroyed all the good feelings I had while exploring this wonderful Universe.

It seems that everyone who is heartbroken about this ending isn't bashing Bioware, they just want a proper conclusion.

This is actually infuriating and very sad:
http://gamerant.com/...er-dyce-124489/

Am I the only one who alo noticed that the three modes you were given in the demo (Story/Action/Whatever) are suddenly down to 2 and that the choices on tha dialogue wheel have been halved?

Is the reason for both last minute tweaking or a last minute hatchet job to hit the launch date?

People, it is officially confirmed there is 16 endings. Depending on your galactic readiness and whether you destroyed the collector base there are many endings.

http://www.ign.com/w...ffect-3/Endings

Note that many of the endings with low readiness ratings have earth and all other advanced civilizations destroyed, and shepard and anderson always die. However, when u have 5000 readiness and destroy reapers for the perfect ending, shepard lives, earth is saved, and the galaxy survives the destruction of the relays. As for the normandy being stranded, they actually are not doomed either if you think about it. According to some codex entries, the relays allow instant travel between systems. Without the relays travel between systems can take anywhere between 2 - 6 years. Don't you know Edi and Tali could possibly rebuild the normandy. Plus when shepard lives and the old man says "ok 1 more story" you get the message continue the legend of shepard with DLC. This obviously implies that DLC will take place after the endings. It may take shepard and earth a long time to rebuild earth, and rebuild starships that but the techs can still make ships with mass effect engine cores no problem. Then it would take 2 or 5 years to travel to a new system. Plus its very possible that the normandy crashed somewhere in the milky way galaxy and shepard could reunite with them within months after a rebuilding a ship.

The bottom line is, if shepard and earth survive, there is framework for technology to be rebuilt and reuniting with the normandy becomes possible in DLC. However, without the relays they wont be able to travel as far as they used to.

Wouldn't surprise me, with EA behind it... a shame, the game is superb, could have been the best in the series.

Concearning the dialog options: There have been a few instances where it was pretty obvious that something had been cut. Bioware games have a certain dialoge flow, so you can tell where there should have been an extra option.

Don't give us hope please.....

It will be all the more devestating when it turns out incorrect.


Oh how i wish it would be true....

Well if we can't have happy endings, neither can Bioware. A large chunk of their fans will leave and they could go bankrupt.

yeah, I agree with the majority of the people here. Bioware?? You made us wait for how long?? For What? To see a fancy ending where everybody dies, including shep. You force us into making the choice between the geth, and the quarians, Choose the quarians and a new species gets eliminated: A species that has been under attack by the quarians for 300 years, and is still able to extend a modicum of trust. Choose the Geth and Tali does a swan dive off a cliff. Thats pretty unrealistic and despicable. Then, you use this kid who gets killed throughout the game for no other purpose than to keep people emotionally attached.. Really low blow Bioware. I'm a vietnam Vet. And frankly some kids died. Same with the Iraqi and Afghani wars. and those vets are much younger and buy your games as well.. Obviously none of you have any idea about what happens to someone who has to go through war.

You changed your dev team and it shows. you took direction out of the hands of the lady that headed up the ME2 team, and put it in the hands of a puerile idiot who couldnt write his way out of a paper bag.

And then you give us an ending with absolutely no hope in it at all.. What?? The door on the wreck of the Normandy opens up and we're supposed to have hope?? Give me a break. The Normandy's gone, Jokers Gone ( pilots are almost always the first to die in a crash ), OH and that nice little shock wave that travels around the world disintegrating everyone is a REAL smooth move. Shep in half a second succeeded in doing what it would have taken the reapers a much longer time to accomplish. So the earth is gone too ( except for maybe a few micro organisms and some small furry cockroach hiding underground).

So the earth is dead, shep is dead, garus, tali, liara, everyone is dead. You leave no options for DLC's. You pull a Peter Molyneau to extend the game beyond the ending and roll back the clock to before the final countdown. Who in hell is gonna want to keep playing the game after THAT??

You guys really need to close your doors now, and go back to cutting the hair off your barbie dolls. You have succeeded in pissing off, the entire bloody world. Congratulations. THATS a first for a game company. Laugh all the way to the bank if you want too, but youve betrayed the trust of an awful lot of people, so you wont be laughing on your next game.

It could also mean that Shepard's legend will be continued through downloadable content that takes place before the ending. I hope not, and I hope Bioware gives us missions that take place after the game.

Not to rain on your parade or anything but doesn't EDI die in the destroy ending?

Also I'm pretty sure ME technology dies with the relays.

By the way, can anyone explain what critical effect on the end will have decision in ME2 to keep Collector's base intact? Article states that 8 endings are only awilable if you saved the base, while 8 others will occure if base was destroyed.. What's the difference?

"Just beat the game, and I've never been this disappointed in a game before. I finished ME 1+2 7 times each and this ending ruined it for me. I just have no interest in finishing my other saves now."


I feel the same way with my 5 other saves.

Really bad / poor ending given the time and effort put in on the players side and BW side, unbelievable

We're trying to get Bioware to fix the ending with this poll. Hopefully with enough people, it'll work.

I think the thing everyone needs to remember is that they can fix this and it would not be difficult. The only thing involved here is the ending, everything else is fine story wise as far as I'm concerned.
