No kidding.

I mean, I hated the last 5 minutes of the game, but some people took it to an extreme.

No, I don't - because I haven't experienced a family member dying yet. I haven't had to deal with such a massive disappointment or heart break before. Not all people are like you, experienced what you experienced, or even have the same way of dealing with stress. I never expected Bioware to do this, I've played their games since BG and there was always a happy ending option. I assumed that even if you had to work your butt off hard as hell, there WOULD be a happy option. Hell. one of the options they put in could have been happy, or all of them, if Shepard could have a slim possibility of living in them and the normandy didn't land on some random island. Closure would be nice, too. As it is, I've spent years being emotionally invested in their longest series to date and then they slap you in the face and say, no, you don't deserve to know what happened, your crew deserves to land on some random ass end planet and probably die, and by the way, you have no chance of living even if you did everything right if you don't want to destroy all synthetic life, including someone you possibly care a great deal about and wasting another possibly close friend's life.

lol oh my

this thread needs to get moved to the story forums, this is pointless being here.

I doubt it will though. Bioware already moved an ending thread from the Story forum to the Gameplay section.

The ending left me feeling empty. I had 6 Shepards to import to ME3. Beat the game once, and I think it'll take a while before I import another one.

Everything went downhill after the laser hit Shepard. And the bedtime story in the end?

If I were the writer, I wouldn't destroy all the Reapers. I would make the Alliance win the Battle of Earth, but the Reapers would still be a threat to the galaxy (setting up possibilities for games set in the future of ME3).

[Ainyan42]

I think the worst part of this is I've spent the past several weeks playing nothing but Mass Effect - with the occasional foray into WoW for a scheduled raid. I expected to be playing Mass Effect some more once I finished with ME3, but now... now I just stare at my computer and wonder how I can open any of the games on it. None of them bring me the emotional satisfaction that Mass Effect did - but I can't stomach the idea of playing Mass Effect knowing that everything I do is pointless. It's not just ME that has been ruined for me right now - it's gaming in general.

 Am I the only one that is actually having trouble going to sleep. I haven't slept since I finished the game because my mind keeps thinking back to the ending. The only thing keeping me from selling the game is the hope that there is a fix for this nightmare. I would even take BioWare jumping out and saying "Gotcha!"

When it ended I turned off my xbox, gently set down my controller, went into my bedroom and got under the covers and then cried. I honestly felt like there had been a death in the family. My boyfriend thought I was crazy for acting the way i did but I didn't spend five years of my life falling in love with these characters to have it end like this.

Is it so bad to want the "cliche" happy ending for my Shepard?

I find that hope is a constant factor in the mass effect universe. Against all odds. "There is always a better way", but in this excuse for a ending. There is only ONE way, kill yourself and decide what happens shortly after.

The hardest part of the endings are the fact that people like me, who has put in countless hours playing the first two games. Now have to deal with a ending that makes it all pointless.

The story was so good, one of the best. To end it on such a pathetic note shames us. The fans. I regret every hour I wasted of my life playing ME1 and 2. Even tho they were near perfect games. Why? Simply because its conclusion was thrown together with no regard for the fans.

I wont take the "Its art" excuse either. It was pure lazyness. I dont know who dropped the ball I understand it can be hard on people to write for such high quality. But if you can't do it. Dont half ass it. The ending has no possiblity of hope.

I even tried to shoot the small ghost child just to be sure. But no. Pick your color of apple. Suck it up. Move on. We got your money.

I respect you still Bioware Staff. You do great work. Please. Do great work again. Dont leave us in the wind. We are not unreasonable.

[Acrylium]

It's not like I would hate the game. It's a lot of fun and I appreciate the hard work BioWare has invested for getting it as it is. It's realy gerat until short before the end. But the end is not only poor writing, it's not worthy nor satisfiying. Despite what the developers say, it's just not this brilliant. It's poor.

All i wanted from endings was

Renegade
1. You didn't prepare enough and everybody dies, The Reapers win
2. You sacrifice your alien allies fleets to save humanity and defeat the Reapers

Paragon
1. You didn't prepare enough and have to sacrifice yourself and the human fleets to save the rest of the galaxy.
2. You rally the entire galaxy against the Reapers and destroy them becoming a galactic hero.

^ I just wanted to get some more exposure in a giant thread for a simple and preferred endings.

I am 24, I have a job and a real life, yet I am an passionate gamer and I love games that have a deep story...and this game makes me cry.

So here I am having over 200 hours played on ME1 and over 300h on ME2...
I started playing ME3 going through the story with woowzers all the time, seeing how characters from the first and second game getting back telling their stories again and giving the right input in to wining the war against the Reapers... and when I got to the main Cerberus base I realized how fu.cked up things are... since i knew the spoilers... now I am on Earth knowing that whatever I do it all narrows to a very sad ending, whatever I would headcanon, it doesn't matter for me because I know that the game is going to give me the real ending which I don't want to happen.
I live in hope that after beating the game, having all the war assets I can get and the galactic readiness at 100% and I destroyed the Reapers...I will start a new game and it will give me an ending I want.
Shepard survives, Normandy and the crew survives, all races survive and the mass relays exist while Earth is sacrificed... because I never had an connection to it in the game. It was a meaningless planet for me in this universe.

Sad day really

I gave two ****s about earth. I did however care about Palavan, Thessia and Rannoch.

So because I got more emotionally invested in the characters from the series than my grandmother I need to get a life?

OK.

[Arawr]

I was really looking forward to a hero's ending, personally. And adopted Turian war orphans for Garrus and femshep.

Why didn't they just do it this way?... The 2nd paragon, the 1st paragon and the 1 renegade were things I actually had thought my three Shepards would be able to do.

Ah nice. Bioware's finest at work. Trying to limit the exposure of the fix the ending threads.. Just like when they ignore swtor bugs and everything. Lovely.

Yess...Hell, I'll still make it happen in my headcanon.

As someone mentioned before, ME1 and ME2 gave the players so much hope. I think that is...or was one of my favorite aspects of the ME series. It knew how to have a balance of the dark and hopeful parts of the story. For ME3, we all know it was completely dark, depressing and bitter. And what the Grandpa is suppose to give me hope? Heck no. I could care less about some random dude that I know nothing about. I don't even know where the guy is!

What on earth is this thread still doing here? I assumed it would have been moved the story and campaign discussion forum when the new sections were added.

Nope. In fact, another big ending thread was moved from story and campaign to gameplay.

Makes so much sense, huh?

[dragonator89]

I'm surprised to see not a single Bioware response to these topics. Probably too busy counting their money.
Bioware if you have any respect for your loyal fans give us the happy endings that Shepard deserves. By the way, the mass effect series is nothing without the mass relays, so with each ending you screwed us over twice by killing Shepard then destroying the mass relays.
Here's an idea, try to remember all the possible endings for Dragon Age: Origins, not all endings end with the protagonist dying and there is even a huge celebration at the end, How hard is that.

Conspiracy theorists say this was done on purpose.  Can't say I disagree at this point.

I have enough of how sucky real life can be.  My husband is in a warzone and there are days I don't hear from him.  I worry daily that I never will again.  Last few years I have lost both grandmas, my uncle and my dad fell through the ice and almost died. I am totally powerless to do anything about it.  

Simple thing is real life sucks sometimes.  I read books, play games, watch movies to escape for a bit from my worries.  I want the good guys to win.  There maybe hardships along the way, sacrifices to be made, but if I do everything right I get a glimmer of a happy ending.  Mordan, Legion, Thane and Miranda dying was heartbreaking enough for me; and I wasn't even a huge fan of Miranda.  Some of the choices I made where hard.  I sat back and though about them for over 10 minutes before making a choice.  Everything was made meaningless with the end.  It's no longer a series I can play.  Happy ending wouldnt be everyone living....would be if I did everything right I would have a chance to ride off into the sunset with those who survived.

Happy endings are not a bad thing.  Hope is not a bad thing.

This is kind of random, but why did the that Sims 3 expansion hint to Shepard surviving? Surely they were aware that Shepard wouldn't since Bioware claims these endings were planned from the beginning. Kind of silly and random, but just a thought that made me laugh.

Not on these threads, per se, but they are responding to a few people that disliked the ending via Twitter (if you tweet @masseffect). So politely tweeting them, in addition to the concerns here, would probably not be amiss.
