Get over it meatbags. It probably make a lot more sense to you when you actually play the game.

Bring it on, it wraps up the series well and really gives it that ending feel unlike Gears 3 where I felt like it was to friendly flower ending for it to be over.

Honestly I havent seen one person who wanted something like that to happen. If anything most people are fine with bittersweet endings, and saw them coming a mile away. The problem for most is that all these endings are plain old bitter, with no sweet edge to help them go down easily.

 For the record, the space edition folk probably haven't worked out what the "best" ending even is yet, they have had time for one, maybe two playthroughs at this point.  I seriously doubt that they definitivwly know the happiest ending, or for that matter, what all the endings are.

And even if it somehow IS true, mayhaps this was why the ultimate ending was supposed to involve becomming one with the reapers, in which case you guys have yourselves to thank for this, IF it is even true.  For now, I would calm the **** down.

I would pay for Happy Ending DLC. No joke.


I would, too, except this ending should be a part of the core game.

I have read leaked information on Mass Effect 3 endings and if it is accurate, canceling my pre-order and then ending Mass Effect, officially, after Mass Effect 2 ended, and then coming up with my own idea about the war against the Reapers would be a much better decision than purchasing Mass Effect 3 for BioWare to have something so ridiculous or unfulfilling or annoying as what I've seen. "Here, you've played for 40-50+ hours, and you've stuck it out through Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, have an ending you won't possibly enjoy!" No thanks.

When I finished Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 (several times each) I didn't think, "what a waste of time!" but I think I will think exactly, "what a waste of time!" when I finish Mass Effect 3 based on the endings I've heard of.

If there's no ending worth reaching, the game isn't worth playing. I might cancel my pre-order and wait until the game is released, and all the endings are revealed, to decide whether or not it's worth playing. I really don't believe I'll be purchasing Mass Effect 3 again after all the endings are revealed though.

Oh god, not even more Christ figure nonsense. I don't want to be Jesus, I want to be the baddest marine ever. I don't want folks to remember me as some folk hero, I'd rather they say "That man was damn good at killing Reapers."


Shepard stopped Soverign, killed off the Collectors after coming back to life, and is the only person in the galaxy with enough connections to be the leader of a joint alliance to defeat the reapers. He also is the head of what saves Earth.

He is going to be a ****ing hero. Saved the galaxy and humanity. 

How can he not be seen as a hero. And as we all know heroes are needed. What better to start up the reconstruction of Earth than a story about a man who gave everything and everyone he knew to give the galaxy another chance?

Even if this is how things end, I think it's important to remember that "bad" endings can be pretty damn powerful -- but by merely reading the synopsis, the only thing we get out of it is how terrible the implications are with none of the actual emotional execution.

Some of the best stories out there have utterly depressing endings, but they'd just sound pathetic if you were to just "read the synopsis" about what happens as opposed to actually experience their execution.

I still want to know what the **** the Normandy is doing next to a Mass Relay on Pluto.

I GET the whole Shepard has to die or sacrifice himself to a POINT. But why did they have to maroon his friends/crew/LI on some random planet because they're next a mass relay they should be NOWHERE NEAR?

Well, there is the whole "ending the extinction cycle" thing, but its grand scheme is just overshadowed by things that players are more personally attached to.

"Can you tell me another story about Shepard before bed?"

I think that if they sound pathetic, they are pathetic. But I detest tragedy with a passion.

That's not why peopel are upset. Peopel are upset because no matter what the Normandy and the LI are taken away and put on an unkwoen planet and will never be with SHepard, even if she/he survives. That's the issue. It always happens.

Nope. All endings are accounted for in the files and in the strategy guide.

They'll all reunite in Mass Effect 4. It doesn't really matter. It just sets the stage for the next one.

The hilarious thing is they just put Shepard with the Normandy, this wouldn't be happening.

Or have the Normandy crash on Earth. At least give us the chance to imagine an eventual reunion.

But no. Headcanon must also be crushed.


Why?  Why would Bioware want this?.....

I laughed so hard at this 'cause it will probably be true.  Somehow this makes everything okay.

Dude, I agree with most of what you're writing here, but could you please stop being so condescending?  People are upset, let them be upset.

They have definitely said that ME 3 is the end of shepards story, if they do another game in the ME univers it will probably be a MMO.

Too bad the people starving to death on those homeplanets aren't going to agree with you.  I'm sure the colony people who are now stranded are going to be estastic too.

Seriously the best ending and the true Paragon ending is Control.  I don't see how anyone can argue differently.

Except the strategy guide states there is a "perfect" ending.

Novem, the guy who supposedly has the strategy guide, said there's 7 endings and an ending where it's "lollipops and sunshine" (kinda-sorta). So... does that mean Novem is wrong?

Even if you choose control the me relays will be unusable,

Indeed, but that seems like it's going to happen regardless of what ending we achieve. Having the option to work towards not only that, but also potential salvation for the characters we've grown to love over the years isn't really that much to ask for, now is it? Just saying, having that option would do a world of good - even if it's almost impossible to achieve.
