Throwing in my support for hating the endings. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed with a work of fiction before in my life.

This makes the ending of the Matrix trilogy look good.

This makes the carvings in the bathroom stall look good.


"Mike was here" I understand. Simple,  No plot holes.

The next Shadow Broker is currently taking over the office, give it time and everything should return to normal.


that being said... they most likely dont know what to say.

Probably true. They're also probably waiting to see what the rest of the world says after they beat it.

lol here in the UK, majority of my friends think it was depressing as hell (Origin screwed up - we got in on the 6th )

Waiting on the rest of the world sounds good, actually. They're probably getting data on how many people have beat it, then waiting for that before they collate opinions. I don't know if we'll get any response at that point, however. I'm hopeful that we'll at least get an interview a year down the line where some gaming site asks the question. Post mortems are sadly rare.

I expect the attitude to continue, personally. And we might even get a new perjorative out of it. Like 'nuking the fridge', but for endings.

Or Santa Claus takes the puppy out of the box for you then snaps its neck and hands it to you.

I have never been depressed after beating a video game unitl now.  Apparrently there are also scenes where Tali and Miranda can die.  I can't bring myself to watch the youtube videos.

[mulder1199]

actually if you want to be more accurate, it's as if santa gave you a puppy to have fun with for 35 hours or so, then killed it...

i've quite enjoyed what i've gone through so far....but i dunno if i'll make it through a second playthrough with the bad endings

[DifferentD17]

It would seem Bioware didn't think of the endings all the way through, and in the epilogue stated: "the details were lost." Lol The details are why we play the game.

yea you have to make paragon decisions or choose them instead. Like between tali and the geth.. if you choose the geth over her she commits suicide.. But if you go paragon its all gravy and they get along. Which the endings doesnt make sense to do paragon since they are all ****** anyways. Contradicting every decision in the game. the ending overrides every ******* one of them

[nitefyre410]

Well I just beat the game a few minutes ago and while its great and the was... good. The endings could have been a lot better. What is off about this is that the endings seem like a purposely Diablos Ex Machine because of several things... fan complaints and from what I have read trying to get people the play Multiplayer and convoluted Galactic Readiness System. These endings feel like forced "Downer Endings" and that is never good.

The music was nice though.

Lol more like 100 hours or so for all three games, but only when you're awake.

Yeah, that's closer to the mark. I absolutely loved the game right up to the last 10 minutes or so (after the Illusive Man bit), and now I just feel depressed. I had 4 more playthroughs lined up, but as it stands I don't think I can bring myself to play them. *sigh* What I don't get is that we've had control over what happens for pretty much the whole series - ok, so Shepard will always defeat Saren and Soveriegn but there's different ways to do that, but ME2 you really had total control over what happened, who lived or died, what happened to the base - and then for the very end of the series we get that control taken away and it's like "Hey, you know all those choices you made for 3 games? Well none of them actually matter because this is what happens regardless of all that". 

And yes, Tali can die. I accidentally killed her off in my playthrough and didn't have a handy save to go back and change it...

Its as if they had a big pile labeled "Depressing S**T" - and it all got shoveled on ME3.  Now I don't mind the possible deaths -  I CAN AVOID THEM!  But the endings are the worst I've seen from any franchise by far.  I seriously doubt I will replay any of them now.  What's the point afterall?

Didn't they change writers or something for 3?

I'm glad to see I'm not alone coming on here.  All the way up until the end I kept thinking "this game is awesome, so many engaging moments, so many twists and turns, I can't wait to play it through again."

The ending crushed that entirely for me.  Honestly, I have no desire to fire up the game again tomorrow, and it'll likely be at least a couple months until I do.

Look, I get what BioWare was trying to do with the ending.  I truly do.  But I have enough heavy stuff going on in my life.  I play video games as a diversion to that.  One of the things that appealed to me so much about the ME stories (and Shepard in particular) was that he/she was one of those classical literature protagonists.  Always came out on top, despite overwhelming odds.  Stood for certain a certain set of ideals.  I've sunk a lot of time of my life spanning years into the trilogy. And I played with my character a certain way all the way through, with the hope that it would all make a difference.  That the universe could be 'saved'. That there would be a cliche, warm fuzzy, Star Wars Return of the Jedi ewoks lets have a party at the end.

All I wanted was a goddamn happy ending.

I know, I know.  The universe "was" saved.  But in an intellectual way.  But not life in the ME universe as I knew it and explored it and became attached to it.  And not any of the characters which I spent time becoming attached to.  It wasn't satisfying.  I came away just wholly disappointed.

I'm not even mad.  I'm not threatening a boycott, or throwing a hissy fit online, or logging onto metacritic.  I'm just upset, and sad.  That's not how a video game is supposed to make me feel.  Firing up games like ME is supposed to be my diversion away from those feelings.  Maybe that makes me narrow, or "entitled" or whatever, but I'm just an average PC gamer, don't really complain about a whole lot, enjoy my games, and if that's the feeling BioWare was looking to evoke in me with their product...

Amen. There's all this buildup for the characters, all these plot-threads being wrapped up, but then these endings just leave everything unresolved, and basically ruins everything Shepard worked so hard to accomplish- uniting the galaxy. 

These endings just really put a downer on my day. I'd be willing to buy DLC for better endings, but it's sort of a shame that Bioware would make these kinds of endings the only ones for the main game. I'm just really dissapointed.

They really must've wanted ME3 to be in the discount bin in a year... lol

Heres your collectors edition bonus from ME3 from bioware ><

all because of an ending? thats stupid on so many levels


if people actually take the game back do to not marrying there li's then im sorry that says alot about people

lets be honest here. the only reason people hate the endings is because of the li deal and imo i think thats kind of retarded on many levels

I am being honest. My Shepard doesn't even have a romance.

It ends with an incident of friendly fire for no reason whatsoever. The ending is stupid. It's completely thematically inappropriate and random.

When I got ME 1 and ME 2, I was itching to play them all the time. I'd think about playing while at work, just watching that clock, chomping at the bit to get home and fire up the Xbox. I got home yesterday. Did some cleaning up. Went to the gym. I finally got around to playing some ME 3. But I also shut it off and went to bed at a decent hour.

The game is really good. And I should be super-excited to being playing it. But I'm not. I can't. I haven't seen the endings for myself, but I dread getting to them. I don't want to see my Shepard and all his friends and loved ones get this pathetic send-off. It's not fair for all the time and love I've poured into this series. All the choices. All the playthroughs. It's not fair, Bioware. You can call that a ridiculous statement if you like. But it isn't fair to me. To all of us.

So depressed.
