Y'know, it takes very little for some people to get up and post about something on the forums.

Generally it's easier to voice opinions about something disappointing rather than something that made you happy. But even in that light, generally speaking, most people will just be upset and not really do anything about it beyond the common "wow, that sucked." reply.

This many people in this little time should show you there's a significant problem. Even the outliers who like to pretend they're okay with the endings, that's a bit presumptuous, because I'm sure plenty of you are happy enough, you at least have to recognize that if this was such an acceptable ending to this trilogy, this thread could not sustain itself.

I just really hope Bioware gives us a better ending in some way. :(

I've played ME and ME2 multiple times, so I could have different characters with different stories reach the end of ME3...and then I reach the end of ME3...I am disgusted by this. Seriously Bioware this is what you give your loyal fans?

Am I the only one who thinks that the boy on the citadel at the end completely invalidated game 1. I mean why couldnt he just reactivate it and let his reaper buddies in if he is the citadel

I think control reapers is best one. Shep dies, but at least all we done are not for nothing.Hope Reap-shep will drive them somewhere beyond galaxy borders and dump in some star.

I just replayed the very end of the game, and sat through all of the credits, but I didn't see any cutscene showing that Shepard is alive. Does anyone know if I did something wrong to make him die? Or if there's anything else to suggest that he lived?

Unfortunately Bioware is probably going to wait until the game is out in every country before they finally talk about the ending, if they even talk about it. This is such a letdown.

It really is kind of silly how they've been trying to spin the Destroy ending as a happy ending.

I mean, I guess it's happy relative to the alternative, but it's pretty damn somber for a "happy" ending.


I honestly don't know how any of the devs could say, with a straight face, that there are happy/perfect/good endings. They were obviously discussing the choice only....not the outcome of them. Totally beating around the bush in my opinion. I heard there was an actual happy ending (one with Shep living and I think something about their LI/crew) but they removed it. I have no idea if this was true or not....but I just can't believe they would do something that stupid. I don't understand it. But like others have mentioned, I am hoping that if that is true, they still have that ending and will release it after all of this backlash...especially in the coming days and weeks.

Exactly!! I have 10-12 playthroughs, with various choices and to know that they're all practically going to end the same way....its insane. Its also sorta heartbreaking because I've invested so much time, and emotion into the series. Finishing this game once or twice is going to be hard enough....I don't think I could replay it more than that unless I just stop before the end of the game. Or fix it with headcanon. Like maybe my Shep had a clone of herself for all of the events of ME3 or at least the one making the choice at the very end.....it would certainly explain why my Shep from ME3 looks nothing like the one from ME2!! Yes I am looking at you CC! <_<

Now i thought the endings were the worst part. The whole game was an emotional roller coaster, that was one of the best i have seen implimented in a game to date. But what the endings lacked was Closure. From what i hear and have played after i beat it tonight, i was left with way to many questions. A good ending leaves no questions. All i wanted was to blow up on the citidel holding the hand of the one person that kept shepard going the entire game, for me it was Liara. Thats all. If i died with her i wouldn't of cared what the hell happened afterwards. But i didn't and she became stranded on an planet. Then boom nothing. Thats all i wanted, i knew this war wasn't going to be easy near the end, i knew i would lose my squadmates. But to not have a self sacrafice with your LI is just crazy! I know Liara wouldn't of had it any other way!!!!!!!

BIOWARE YOU MUST PROVIDE CLOSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

More and more people beat the game and express how unhappy they are with the ending, so let's just hope Bioware does something about this problem soon.

As much as i would never tell a writer to rewrite their story in any book or moive. This ending defiantly needs to be changed, im expecting a happy or content ending to be released and with this much backlash from the fans we have a good chance at getting it. I wouldn't even call the ending an ending, there was no closure, we have no idea what happened to our LI or our crew. No codex to tell us what happened afterwards. Just nothing. EDE and joker romance? nope no closure on that either. What happened to the fleet after victory? nope no closure to that either. This is just madness, i was so emotionally stressed after the ending i did nothing but stare at the menu for 20mins....

It's really depressing, and after we all put so much time and money into this series just to have an ending that isn't really an ending is just horrible. I really hope Bioware is kind enough to give us a happy ending so we can all stop being so stressed out about wasting time and money on a series with a depressing ending.

Funny note... The Destroy IMO supposed to be the "good" ending.. But as i stated before in other threads.. Remember ME2 arrival.. That Relay destroyed the entire system.. Destory ending.. what does it do.. Self-destructs the Relays.. remember what happens to relays that blow up... hmm doesnt seem like a happy ending. Shepard survives barely if you have 5000 ems.. But remember... Relays destroy entire systems.. how does he survive a supernova?"Image IPB

Just putting that out there. Contradicting what evidence they have out there

They only messed up the ending in my opinion. For a game that is so well thought out, the ending is surprsingly choatic.

I would settle for content, or even gritty. Shep lives, but the relays are gone and all the universe begins to pick its way out of the rubble. this IS war, and people and loved ones die, Usually however, the endings to war are not quite so final, and humanity is given small reason to hope, but reason none the less.. We dont have that here. We have: twenty minutes of menu after watching shep die in all except one ending ( for which ending your forced to play multi player. Expletive deleted BW ).

That's the thing isn't it. I think a lot of people could accept a depressing ending...if it provided closure, the finality that the penultimate episode in a trilogy should evoke, especially one that was billed to be giving us an end to Shepard's story. It doesn't do that. It provides no closure whatsoever. And on top of it being a downer ending, expecting us to buy it is ludicrious.

Exactly. I mean it can't be that hard to give us some closure. Just show us an epilogue showing what the crew ends up doing, and if Shepard survives, then why not give us our happy ending? For the fans that want it. I mean there is no reason for them to upset everyone unless they're doing this so they can make more content to sell and make money.

Yea its crazy. If only bioware understood all fan bases and gave options for all. Not just some Straight foward **** *** death. Personally there should have been 6 endings.. 1 Pure Paragon ending. 3 neutral or Sacrifice endings, Renegade/bad*** ending, and You failed completely ending( not enough EMS or Story).

Mass Effect 3 would have IMO doubled if not tripled the BEST IN THE WORLD reviews from people. Not including the massive ammount of profit from hitting every fans story... man they would have rocked the RPG/Story genre for months. But they took the low road and decided on what happens instead of following what they used to and let the player decide effectively.

I don't know what made them think making the endings linear and depressing was a good idea.

Tbh, this fanbase isn't exactly the embodiment of loyalty. More the embodiment of entitlement.

Anyway, they didn't make these endings for the fans, that's 100% evident. Not for those emotionally invested in the setting and the characters. They made them in spite of the fans. It almost looks like a deliberate FU to the fanbase.

You know, i don't mind the ending so much on it's own... What I really mind is the reason for all of this is the bull**** basis of "Organics and Synthetics can't live in harmony hurr durr". It's been touted out in every single piece of science fiction except for Star Wars and it's based on the ridiculous principle that somehow a new form of sapient life that has no biological imperatives will attempt to destroy everything else simply for not being "perfect" or "efficient".

It's bull****, plain and simple and it bothers me that they set up this whole thing about challenging preconceived notions from the very first game with the Rachni then the Geth and finally you broke all these fantastically hardened rivalries and yet somehow you couldn't convince this galactic force that things can change? It just makes no sense.
