There must be more endings. Like if you keep the collector base, something must come out of it or if you have a lot of support/resources? I don't remember. (Then thing you get when you complete side quests). etc

The ME 3 ending is WORSE then Fallout 3's (pre DLC)

ME 3 was a great game, had me playing till late in the night. The game made me stop and think about my desision many times over though out the campaign vs the Reapers.. but the final "choice" was crud pure and simple crud.

This.
I liked the first parts of the game, it was mostly the ending that made me think that ME3 is only mediocre.
Atleast there's multiplayer.

Yes, because Fallout 3 was a dystopia and there it fits the sad mood of the entire game when hero dies at end, but ME...?

If we look, all the members of ME2 that die in ME3 (if you let them die in ME3), like Mordin or Thane or Legion, had better endings then Shepard in the end!!!

I’ve been struggling all night since the release to work around the fail to import my character face from 2. With issues figuring out how to do it, I started looking for any mods to help me out, and accidentally stumbled on this thread (no clue how, not important – some google search hit on something in here).

Now I’m not sure I can be bothered. I loved the story in 1 and 2. Maybe I was in the minority that adored the second Mass Effect, found the experience to be awesome.

I don’t know that I want to play a game where the ending, no matter what I do, is abjectly miserable. Come on.

It’s an RPG. Some of us put a lot of effort into our characters, and we live that character’s story. I love miserable, unhappy movies, and I can even deal with really sad games if they’re stand-alone.

But three games, struggling hard to get the best possible ending – only to be screwed out of it? I don’t care what I have to do, if I have to play the game for a year to gather all the materials needed or weasel my way into a good ending for my Shep, I would have done it. She’s been through enough hell. She deserved to be with her lover. She deserved the comfort of her friends.

Why can’t she just be stranded with them instead? That would have changed everything. I don’t care about technology and crap – them stranded on a deserted island together would have been bittersweet, separated from the rest of the universe, but stranded separately?

What. The. Hell.

I’m not sure I’m going to play this crap now.

Same problem here. I finished ME 1 twice, ME 2  two or three times. And in ME 3 I only saw how it ended for my wife and I just don't see the reason to 'take back earth'. That is one of the worst game ending in video games.

I would even say this IS the worst game ending in the history of video games.

I'm amazed that Bioware hasn't issued an official response to the almost universal hatred of the ending. I mean, come on Bioware, just take a look at this thread!

Mass Effect 3's ending was like a slap in the face. No wonder Drew Karpyshyn jumped ship.

Can't say much that hasn't already been said by a few thousand people.

It just seems as if they really reached to try and be unique and creative, and overthought and convoluted pretty much everything that the already great story had established.

If it weren't for DA2 I'd say Bioware was just trolling us, and doing a damn fine job of it. Almost as if they made 99% of the game so good just to laugh at us...laugh at ME....when it ended on a quick and careless note and crushed my miniscule sense of worth by killing me and destroying the universe as I knew and loved it.

The whole game feels like you're clawing your way through a wall, and just when you see the other side an 8-year old space jesus thing knocks the wall down on your face. Makes me wish I woulda killed the one kid at the beginning of the game myself. Maybe it would have saved us from all this.

On another note....who's ready for that mass effect movie still? Base it around the reaper-controlling space god-kid. Good stuff.

Hmm if the Reapers built the mass relays wouldn't they have used FTL before that? Perhaps the dead Reapers have data/tech regarding more advanced FTL. Just an idea for future dlc etc. Rescue the Normandy and keep galactic society connected. The End.

I agree, it's like Bioware didn't even try with the endings. They just copy-pasted Deus Ex's endings and called it a day.

Yeah, same here. Finished game yesterday, sobbed a little in a few topics already.

Nah, this is just sad. More I think of it, more screwed I feel. Oh well, seems like my gamer-heart needed a little breaking. So pointless. Especially whole child's thing. His arc should've ended on Earth. But yeah, then he invades our sleep and finally Catalyst assumes his shape. I longed to see Saren or Virmire Victim and that would be great opportunity to involve someone else... Anderson's death, TIM's fate also feel odd. I still believe it's the best video game trilogy ever, but... It's bitter, it really is.

The real problem is that most of the game is amazingly well done and finely polished, so when we see evidence of brutal laziness (the endings, but Tali's face photo is a perfect example) it's just that much more glaring.

I don't think they wanted to be unique, they just needed an excuse to ensure that most of our choices were irrelevant for ME4. Now that everythings gone to hell, the game can take place several thousand years later, and they don't have to deal with any of our choices. That's fine, even understandable to a degree.

Just give us a damn epilogue, showing Shep reuniting with the crew. And someone explain how all the damn Turians and Quarians aren't going to die.

But none of this is new, just felt like I needed to post and add my voice.

They could have just had a "canon" version if they really wanted to do that and left it open ended ending based on what we had done in the game with cinematics to match... now I don't want ME4 and have no interest in it at all.

Woudn't expect a formal responce from the team anytime soon. It's been two days since the game went live, most non hardcore gamers haven't finished it yet.

If Bioware deems it necessary to come out with any response, which I doubt, it's going to be weeks from now.

I pre-ordered the game since (hell i cant even remember), and i still remember foaming at the mouth thinking bout playing it. I grab it, load it, throw in my saves from ME2, which i saved all the way from ME1, back like 3 computers ago. Hell i still have the save games on my old 256mb flash drive.

I begin to play ME3 and fall in love with it all over again. Even though i start off *fresh* yet again, and my squadmates from ME2 (who i have to admit, i have became very attached too) have all went their seperate ways. I continue playing and meet up with them again along the way, and for every mission the game just gets more and more bad ass. Things as epic as the Threasher Maw kicking the reapers butt, to the friendly bottle shooting between shep and garrus. Almost every single mission had the feeling of weight. Weight that made me continue to look forward to what i thought would be a epic ending.

I fixed the Genophage, fixed tensions between Krogan and Turians, fixed tensions between geth and quarian, saved the rachni queen, and damn if i didnt feel epic. Rolled into the sol system with a fleet of epic scale and began what i knew was the final mission. Saw the cinematic and thought "Hell yes, this is gonna be one hell of a fight!"

*and* that is where the game completly friggin derailed for me.

I land on Earth and see the state it was in (like i expected it would be) and continue the final push. I go to the comms officer and began saying goodbye to all my companions that ive fell in love with along the way. All the while im beginning to feel the unnerving sense of dread. (I figured that was the awesome story writing building me to a cool *hero* climax. Boy was i wrong) But i trudge on. Then i get to the big pillar of light and begin my decent into what would be the final confrontation. But wait i get hit by a giant friggin laser beam....OK...cutscene...wait WTF....Im Commander Friggin Shepard and i got hit by a giant laser beam....i should have zigged, instead of zagged? WTF? Now for the next 5 mins i *slow* walk to my new destination trying to get to Anderson (Who somehow, someway got to the pillar too? O...K.... Where the hell is my team?). I get to my destination and play through...

Which leads me to my derailment. What in the holy hell were you people thinking with these endings. Its like you put all this effort into the last installment, all these upgrades to combat, and making everything seem more fluid, to just shrug your arms and say "Meh" to the ending. The only difference between the cutscenes is COLOR for god sakes. Red, Blue, and Neon friggin green. Awesome. I spend all these hours on ME1, and ME2 just to friggin die in 3 ridiculous ways. All those choices...for what? To see the epic normandy crash land on some jungle planet with a obvious bird infestation?

I could go on and on...like the massive fleet you rolled in with. It would have been more epic to get some more facetime with the fleet and what was happening. Specially when the crucible warped in, but no. It just gets there. No cool fleet manuevers, no nothing...just talking to a glowing kid that has the "keys" to the Galaxy. *sigh*

Overall im so disappointed i cant think straight. Hell right after i beat the game i reloaded my last save right next to the super beam and went though all that slow walking crap again just to see if it changed. Two more friggin times. Low and behold....No pass Go...no collect 200 dollars. Im just boned...along with the Galaxy.

Nice to see all those choices of making my Shepard into the good biotic charging badass he was getting reduced to a different colored explosion, and the galaxy getting screwed in the process. Ridiculous.

But i understand this all my opinion, and to be honest i dont really care what people think of this. I really wrote this to release some tension anyway. Release some tension on a game that i thought was gonna be one hell of a ride. Instead the ride stopped just on top of the loop to loop and now everyone is dead because they fell off. Woo Friggin Hoo.

So so sad. :crying:

I've been lurking around since this thread started, there was more than often really good feedback for the developers to analize. I wish I had collected it back than. Chewing trough it now would take half eternity. or at least someone, who has a free day or two on his hand.
