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.



I wouldn't mind paying for a DLC ending, the game overall was fantastic. But I honestly don't think bioware cares one bit about how people feel....they're all about the money, and they've already got that now.

Just look at this forum, thousands of players are writing their disappointment and rage already, and no response whatsoever except "We're happy about the ending."

Maybe, they could just add an ending, like requested, only make it almost impossible to achieve.
That would not really take the direction they have wanted to take off track, it would be more of an easter egg, as a nod for the fans.

Honestly is it just me or did those endings feel rushed even the rendering for some parts of it?
I mean they pushed the game back but it felt so rushed like they ran out of steam at the end the start of the game felt somewhat well thought out and the rest did too but at the same time it kind of feels like they focused so much on combat that they forgot to work on the story and some of the animations......Meh I'm going back to ME1/2 and pretend 3 didnt happen....gonna treat this like I do with crapfest movies......

If your going to leve Shep straded to die then let the crew or at least the LI be with him/her and a decent cut scene, something??????

We are litraly left with nothing after all the hours and time put into this game and the attachment to the charachters and story?

Not to mention the entire ME3 story seems dissconnected from the previous 2

This is aweful

Sure, they could, the question is, why should they? They (BW) is happy with it, the critics love the game, sales will be sufficient... the only negative opinion about the game comes from a few 100 people here on the forums. That did not change DA2 and it will not change ME3... call me a pessimist, but that's how it is.

There will be DLC, sure... and maybe, just maybe, if BW thinks it's somehow needed, we may get a narrated epilogue or something like that (think Genesis, or the ending of DAO), but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Actually, almost a thousand! But not even close of the 4.000.000 gamers that will buy ME3.

I just deleted the game from my hard drive. I was about 1/2 way, couldn't get into it at all knowing it's just a giant waste of time, a slow walk to a funeral for everyone.

Slow walk to a funeral for everyone?  Really?  How so?  Earth gets saved.  FTL still exists, which means the turians and quarians could easily find a place in the Local Cluster to settle and grow food.  

Worried about (what I still believe to be a glitch) the party members going to the Normandy?  Well Tali and Garrus would have to have some food on the Normandy, and it's possible the life support still works on it.  It's also easy to headcanon that they have the stuff to *grow* new food, in case they crash and can't be found for awhile.  It's called being prepared.  I could see Tali and Garrus using the Normandy to grow their own food under more controlled conditions, and falling in love.  D'aawwww.

And then a couple years later, they get a beacon working to send out a distress signal.  Months later, Shepard appears and they are teh saved!

(Grandpa and little boy never happened.)

It's funny though, Mass Effect 3 is all about the war to save the galaxy/universe, yet the end was so anticlimactic that we basically have to fight our own war to get the happy and conclusive ending we deserve.

I'm actually counting on this (capitalist thingey). If they want money, and they want, as every sane company in the world which wants to earn money, they should make a "good ending" DLC (at least). And make us pay for it. And a lot of people would do that (me included). Minor tweaks (a lot of people suggested some improvementes on this forum) shouldn't be hard to implement. M.

Seriously?  

Waah waah.  :crying:.  I'm going to stop playing because I want to live forever with Liara waah waah waah.
Come on guys, what about SAVING THE ENTIRE GALAXY FROM DEATH hmm?  I guess most of your Shepards are whiney wimps who give up just because you can't get a happy ever after.  My shepard will gladly march forward to her death knowing that the reaper threat will be eliminated.

It's because not only did it have a depressing ending, but it basically just ends. It doesn't show what happens to the crew, or the other races, or what's up with the state of the galaxy. It just stops.

The ending lacks closure, Shepard can die, but why does the Normandy crew have to be stranded?

You do realize it's not really about having blue kids with your chosen LI, it's about Bioware games being marketed as "choose your own story" adventures and us then being railroaded into a linear ending that doesn't really reflect our decisions, except in the most general sense?

It's like the took a page from the Witcher series, only forgot you can't change your storytelling methods in the last 15 minutes of your grand final epic.

It starts with a D and ends with a C. And there's an L somewhere there too.

It's not that, what it is there is no purpose in playing ME3. It ends in a crap ending where everyone and everything is either blown up or radiated into nothing.  Mass Effect 2 I played about 6 times (I forget exactly) hoping to get the best possible ending. In this game there is no doing that.

It takes a cetain amount of concentration and effort to defeat the various enemies enountered, I just can't get my enthusiasm up for it, there is nothing to fight for.

Yeah, I -really- hope Bioware/EA takes a page out of Bethesda's book in regards to Fallout 3's ending. What's critical here is that Bioware doesn't take this as a personal attack and then clam up, refusing to change anything because all this criticism has hurt their collective pride(s?). Bethesda, in response to Fallout 3's jarring and very unsatisfying ending, shrugged and said: Ok. They didn't like it. Let's give them something they do like. And it worked. Everybody won. AND they made money off it. And most importantly, I didn't mind paying them to do it, because it was a very well done dlc expansion and a fitting ending. Please, please, please, Bioware: do the same here.


Exactly! They need to Broken Steel it! Like you said, the fans will be happy and EA/Bioware will make lots of money off of this. Bioware has listened to their fans before (Ex. Garrus romance, Tali romance, etc.) so hopefully they'll do it again! They can end Shep's story without Shep dying or getting stranded/lost/crappy existence/whatever! I will pay lots of money to get a Broken Steel-type DLC. Maybe it doesn't have to be as extensive but enough for fans like me that don't like the endings. And for people that like the endings, they don't have to buy the DLC.

I am not even half way through the game...and I honestly I don't want to finish it. At least not for a while. I am dreading the ending....I am trying to avoid it for as long as I can.

You do chose your own story. You an chose who is loyal to you, whether the gehophage will be cured, who lives or dies, whether the quarians get their homeworld back, etc. etc. The game does have a decent amount of choice. The normandy gets the same fate, sure, but other things change.

I shall reserve my final judgement until second [or third (+)] playthrough, but from what I can see on this forum, the game is buggy and a lot (really, a lot, you can't seriously argue about that, just browse the forums) people are very dissatisfied about the endings. Again, I've said this before. This isn't a book or a movie, but a RPG game where players should be allowed a myriad of endings. I'm not seing these (oly bad, a little less bad and horrible with a lot of opened questions; if this is an end of a trilogy, opened ends and unaswered questions aren't the way to go... to put it simply)... M.
