no one crawled towards me. all I had on my run through was the radio chatter saying everyone was dead. I walked (sloooowwwllly limped) around forever trying to find my squad mates but of course found nothing so I  just gave up and went to the beam. Is he supposed to crawl towards you? Is it a glitch that I didn't get something like that?

I thought Tali and Garrus were going to show up outta nowhere and pop TIM in the face with a rifle round, patch Anderson up with medi-gel, activate the Citadel and blow the excrement out of all the Reapers in a glorious fireball.
How wrong was I....


Actually, ending the game at Anderson and Shep sitting there, looking out at earth, would have been a waaay better ending.

You know that meme..'still better love story that twilight'?

New meme: 'Still better ending than ME3'
Someone make it so :P



Agree. i knew about the sucky endings so the whole time they were sitting there I was like "please just let it glitch out and end here. Please. Please"  In my mind, thats where it ends. That's how shep should have gone out if there is now way around that he/she dies. It was way better than what was given.

I don't know anything about the twilight endings though. Never could get into the books. Tried to go see the 1st movie and the line "hold on tight spider monkey" pretty much ruined it for me. I actually feel equally resentful towards ME3 right now haha

Have they commented on the endings yet? I think we have a 50/50 chance of getting what we want because Bioware doesn't want to add new endings probably but EA knows will pay them and EA likes money so...

Also everyone should keep voting on this poll http://social.biowar...06/polls/28989/

 I'll say it again, if they have the power to go back and grab the previous BOOK and fix it. I don't see any problem with them doing the same.

The thing that terrifies me the most is that I LOVE mass effect, and to get such an unsatisfying ending...wtf are they gonna do to DA 3? Because 2 was bad enough. I just feel like the "canon" that Bioware and Casey Hudson said Over and over again was NOT present in mass effect...basically was...and giving us the 3 "choices" was just a stupid cop out to save their butts later. Sure players can get "different" endings, but they're not truly different based on the decisions each player made in their game

I loved the Mass Effect 3 game...easy 10 out of 10.

The ending was just bad.

Apparently this ending has been in the making for five years and bioware says we shouldn’t worry about the game ending suddenly and without an explanation. :mellow: guess that means no dlc. http://news.softpedi...ys-255935.shtml

Muzyka also shared his own experience with the game’s ending, saying that, “I just finished an end to end playthrough, for me the ending was the most satisfying of any game I’ve ever played… the decisions you make in this game are epic.”


Maybe this was before the end-game cinematic. The ending, prior to the destruction of the citadel, was absolutely EPIC for sure. Its just the very end that was awful.

1st of March. That article is a marketing trick. If he really thinks the ending is good that only means one thing: Bioware sucks on making Sci-Fi.

I loled. This brought about far more questions and answered pretty much none of mine - I don't give a sh*t why the reapers were attacking us. I really don't. I liked the synthesis ending but the explanation for the reaper's actions was crap and the fact that Shep can't live with enough of something and be with their LI is incredibly disappointing. Even if Shep can't live - that Normandy scene was horrible. It just spoke doom to me for my crew, people I love and protected so hard and now they will die horribly (at the very least Garrus and Tali).

I just wish we could get an official response from Bioware. The current endings are universally despised. I'm personally considering calling in and demanding my money back. I'm not satisfied with the product.

In fact, I feel like I've been cheated out of the last 6 years of Mass Effect playing.

So, Tali who needs technology and medical supplies to keep alive...gets stranded on a planet. So what, a few months to live? Awesome. Wonder what other challenges other species will have to endure on the new planet? How long they will live? Awesome. So essentially. My Shepard FAILED at saving anyone he cared about? Awesome. Even if Shepard lives, he is stranded in space with...what provisions? Huh...so even if he lives he dies a slow death? Awesome. Just Awesome. I have not even played the game today...hoping I will come here and see someone say that there is, in fact, a secret ending that makes me happy. so far, looks as though I will not finish this game...anytime soon, if ever.


That's the part that's getting to me. 

Besides, even if I accept the fact that characters I directly cared about die (which I can- I've shot Wrex more than once for the drama potential), isn't the rest of the galaxy going to have a lot of trouble surviving without technology/the mass relays? How much food is grown on the Citadel, or any of the heavily urbanized planets? There's a mention of "terminator seeds" coming into use in human colonies in the codex entry for Horizon; how many agricultural planets are going to run out of the seeds they need to be self-sustaining with the mass relays- their only way of importing these things from out of system- either down or destroyed? It's possible that some population in the first case could sustain themselves with hydroponic gardening (if they didn't die from fighting over now-limited supplies or from nutrient deficiencies that they couldn't take care of), and that there are agricultural worlds that could become self-sustaining, but that's still a terrible fate to bring on the galaxy.*

I'd just like an ending that doesn't make me say "At least the Reapers might have killed people quickly."

*OK, yes, I guess I've spent some time wondering why this set of endings bugged me when other bleak/bittersweet endings haven't. Mostly because I paid for this game, love most of it, and don't want to be pushed into avoiding any part of it.

That has to be one of the dumbest things (the article, not your post) I have ever read.

The Reapers turn out to be the Shivans from Freespace.
The ghost child is the Architect from Matrix:Revolutions.
And none of your choices, the things you accomplish in game matter at the end.

I now wish I had never played even the first mass effect game. So much time wasted...

Not buying another bioware game until I have researched the ending for it first. Not going to waste my money or time with them if I am not going to get a good payoff in the end.

Don't blame the entire game. You and I both know that the game and end-game was amazing up until the VERY end...

I guess I'll post here with the same message everyone else has: as much as I like the game, I hate the endings. The endings felt disconnected from the game to the point where they seem to be made by a different team altogether. There are multiple aspects about the endings that really ruin the experience for me:
- The lack of any believable solution to the Reaper problem (especially the instantaneous merge between organics and synthetics is just ridiculous).
- Bioware trolling the people that wanted a happy ending by having Shepard survive in the scenario where he/she commits galactic genocide even though they could have easily had him/her survive in the other two scenarios as well
- The complete disregard to what happens to all the civilizations Shepard wanted to save. Did they really even think about the implications of the endings?
- The whole "Normandy goes through a relay for no real reason and crashes, crew smiles happily despite not having a clue of what happened to Shepard or the Reapers" which just made no sense and felt rushed (note the complete lack of dialogue)
- The generic "and it all happened a long time ago, so who cares about the details" epilogue, as if only to emphasize that our choices really didn't matter at all

And the reason I rant about it, and I think this goes for the majority of people posting here, is because I really liked the trilogy. That makes it all the more regretting to see it all fall apart in the end. I'm hoping for additional ending DLC (there's plenty of room for some more hopeful and even darker endings), but I highly doubt Bioware actually had that in mind. Still, I'm hoping they realize how many people would like to see this.

they could at least have given us the screens to read like in DA:O . I was actually ok with my main character dying in that one (if i got that ending) because I at least was able to see something that made SENSE, plus I got to find out what happened to my teammates.

I think that the endings are dreadful.

If Bioware was trying to go for a feeling that Shepard is a legend and future generations will remember her that way--a kind of mythic hero figure, well Bioware....you failed miserably. The ending is bleak beyond words.

I liked the Reapers better when their motivation was unknowable. The explanation given by the Catalyst is so nonsenical that I won't even begin to deconstruct it. It flies in the face of the ME lore that we know. Why would a supposed god-like creature in charge of "order" like the Catalyst leave such a momentous decision as the cosmological fate of the universe in the hands of one human woman (or man if you play MShep)??? The "choice" isn't even a choice at all as Shepard, with her finite human mind, would have no way whatsoever to even begin to comprehend the consequences and implications of her decision. It's beyond the reasoning of the human mind. Shepard is not equipped to render such a decision, which--in effect--renders her decision meaningless. Compare it to asking an infant to choose the next president.

If "wise" beings like the Catalyst are running the show of Fate, Order, Chaos, and the cosmos--then it's a universe I would rather not live in.

I would have preferred an honorable death for Shepard, the complete destruction of the Normandy, and a decimated universe but with a few pockets of survivors with the assurance that the Reapers had been destroyed and that Shepard's cause to defeat them had succeeded. I would have preferred anything--any glimmer of hope--to what was given.

I feel immensely cheated. This isn't what I signed on for. If I wanted naturalism, I could have curled up with Toni Morrison or John Steinbeck. You want to make a tragic trilogy? That's fine. Tragedy with some heart I can deal with. But this depressing, gloomy monstrosity of an ending is completely off the mark.

I agree wholeheartedly with the other poster who said that if they had to do it over again, they wouldn't have even bothered to limp into the beam.

That almost makes it worse.  Five years and three games, huge ammounts of emotional and time investment in the story, the characters, etc.  And then to have it end like this? 

Someone else said something similar but I'll echo it; I want the happy ending option!  I played paragon for a reason, I protected and became friends with the squad because I enjoyed the interaction!  I don't want to see everyone and everything I love about the game f***ked over in the end, its just awful.

Your effing kidding. You are, right? Kidding? This was all a story being told by grandpa to a small kid. What the hell kind of grandfather does that? What exactly did dirty grandpa hope to accomplish by telling his grandchild about all those sex scenes?  I don't even....

I feel like they went dark just for the sake of trying to be deep. It's not deep. It's garbage. What they did was garbage. I said in another thread, I'm fine with those endings being in there, and I'm fine if they declare one the canon ending. It's their game. But to not have anything else is insulting to their fan base. They said our choices mattered, then basically laughed in our faces yelling "JK!JK!" They might as well have flown Harbinger straight at the screen, flipping us all off. In fact, that would probably have been better.

Releasing DLC with Paragon and Renegade endings with variances based on your EMS meter would soothe a lot of feelings (mine included) and make them more money. It's a win-win. But even then, I can't help but feel that they've really alienated a pretty big chunk of their fan base here.

It's funny how he says it has the best ending ever when he's the owner of Bioware. Of course he likes it, he made it. And yet, according to most players, the endings suck.
