The ending made me feel empty and depressed (if you don't think depression is a strong emotion, then you've never really experienced it fully), and based on the theme of hope that ran through the series, the evocation of depression was the most *in*appropriate way to finish something that had otherwise been wonderful.


Exactly what I felt.. :(

My future relationship with the company depends on their reaction.

They release a free good ending DLC, and I'll be willing to put this entire unpleasaness behind us.

The release it as a paid DLC, and I'll be willing to do buisness, but no more pre-ordering, no more Collectors Editions and I wait until I hear if it's good or not before I buy anything.

They don't release anything that fixes the ending, and they are no longer welcome in my wallet.


Add me to this list. Couldn't have said it better.

I felt like we as fans have become the reapers, and now we are their salvation to destruction.

I was more satisfied by the ending of the Shenmue series...and that didn't even have an end.

I wonder if Bioware is planning an Angst Weenie DLC? I'd buy it, and endure all name callings. Hell, I'd rather have sunshine and rainbows and pretty ponies than - you're bombed back to the Stone Age, abandon all hope, and revel in artistic misery.

The ending in this game was horrible. It made me regret buying the game. I'd have been happy imagining up ME3 the rest of my days over what Bioware pulled. They created a universe that they claimed they loved then screwed it over.

I hate what Bioware did. It was the LAST game company I respected at all.

These endings were the worst you could imagine. Disappointing, abysmal. In the end your choices don't matter because all you do is affect what you bring INTO the battle. But not how anything turns out.

This Shoehorned POS ending makes me as a fan of Bioware who's literally dumped over 200 bucks on their games depressed. What happened to good endings?! Why would you want to screw over fans who stayed with you so long?

You worked so hard on the game? Why couldn't you have given good endings!? Don't you remember how Mass Effect Ended? How about Mass Effect 2? But this Starchild Crap after this 'Reaper Beyond your Comprehension'? There is NOTHING beyond understanding "We're harvesting you so you don't destroy yourselves."

To those of you who wrote the ending to Mass Effect 3, You failed your fans. You failed the universe you made. And I am ashamed I bought this game and had faith in you.

Your odds of surviving should have been determined by the personal bonds you forged. Rather earth survived should have been decided by the fleet you gathered. Rather on not you beat the reapers should have been decided in some epic finale between Harbinger and Shepard.

But NOOOO, the ONLY endings you give are ones were Shepard dies and effectively screws everyone over. Or Shepard Lives and screws everyone over and betrays his allies. (If you were good.)

I liked the Paragon/Renegade thing because it wasn't just Good/Evil. But in the end you even failed at that because in the end Shepard wasn't a Hero. Shep just obeyed the Starchild Delusion that freaking deigned to screw over the universe in the first place. In the end all that Bravado, all that effort and heart of Shepard ended with the series dying in a whimper and a sigh.

I will never trust a Bioware game again until I review the end of it's stories. I am sorry I bought Mass Effect 3, I'm sorry I raved about Bioware to my friend. I'm sorry I introduced my Big Sister to the game.

Gotta love the writers who end the story with, "And the final confrontation was at hand." "And then the universe blew up and no one was happy. The end! Thanks for the money suckers, glad to take you for a ride instead of on one!"

Thanks Traitors, because of you I'm not sure I'll even keep my SWTOR account.

I dont even need a happy ending, I mean it would be nice, dont get me wrong.  If you do every thing perfect you can get a perfect ending, but once again before the LOL DISNEY crowd shows up, the problem runs deeper than that.  The endings we have are illogical, dont really fit with the prior 99.99% of the mass effect universe, and dont really reward your actions because all three are incredibly similar.  Weak weak weak, bioware is dead to me.

I think we can all agree that Bioware shouldn't be slaves to every gamers demands. They don't want to create the cliche ending of Shepard just narrowly avoiding the giant explosion where he blows up the Mayor of the Reapers thus saving the galaxy and lives happily ever after with his love interest on Earth? Fine, we can live with that. But come on, they need to meet us halfway. I don't want to speak for others in this regard, but these endings are the most unfulfilling ones of any game I have ever played. I'm not sure what else can be said that hasn't already in 600+ pages, so just place me in the "great game, bummer ending" camp.


I am sorry but I'll take that cliche ending please. For three games Comander Shepard constantly proved himself to be bad**** while galaxy never believed in him, but still he perservered and overcame obstacle after obstacle, only for in the end to get massively bone in the end. Even if he lived he was separated from all the people he cared about.

I want the dang galactic hero standing victorious ending!

Man, this forum s***storm nearly rivals the one back when Blizz tried to pull the RealID-Forum shenanigans. Hopefully this gets Bioware to do something about the endings.

The ending kind of sucked wanted happy ending story, wanted him alive with his friend I don`t

really care about his Li if they get marry and have kid good for them. It just sucked how they

put the story, hope they fix it. ME3 after playing both games month ago was disappointment, I was

told it was great role playing game. ME2 got me hooked *laugh* then i started playing ME1 see

how it began but ME3 ending killed me to be honest. I picked him controlling the reapers thought it

would save the mass relays but guess not...

I personally spread the word around my local Game Shop (They sell table top games not Video games) about the endings and everyone I told called me a liar. "BioWare wouldn't do that. Quit trying to troll us", I wish I was.


I blogged about the endings, and the people who follow me on Twitter thought I was exaggerating -- that it couldn't possibly be that bad. And then there was the usual scorn from people who loathe Disney endings. But look, an ending doesn't have to be Disney to be logical, compelling, and most of all, make sense with existing canon. What they did was a 180 from the ongoing storyline -- and the lack of cogent design in the finale was absolutely astounding.


It's incredible to me that in a game where many of your closest friends do die, in which trillions of innocent people you're trying to protect are murdered throughout, in which untold amounts of damage are dealt to all major planets in the galaxy, us wanting a moderately "happy" end for Shepard and his LI is too "Disney". No, it's just being perfectly reasonable. Bioware knew we were attached to these characters, and we DESERVE the ending we've all wanted since 2007.

Honestly, after this if they don't bring out the a DLC with a fricken better ending I will NEVER buy another Bioware game again, I feel cheated and that my time has been wasted and i want to throw my Collectors Edition in there faces. worst thing is i would usually play though on my other m1+2 profiles and finish the game but honestly, IM NOT GETTING THEM KILLED or THEIR friends trapped on some weird arse planet. Bioware said that we would want to play thou it a few times... right, well the answer for me is NO, i can't.

Fix the ending Bioware and your fan base might forget what you tried to do to their shepard

Your avatar is very similar to how my face actually was when I was fighting the banshee and brute horde on the missle stage. And then again at THAT part.

You know, that part was amazing. My thought process in that was pretty much this:

"Ha ha, very funny Bioware, I've seen this trick before. I start to get overrun then my reinforcements roll in like a pack of stone cold, pipe-hitting mofos and...uh...holy mother of god that's a lot of brutes. It's ok, I got this, brutes are nothing. I just spam charge until...

Regarding the synthetic vs. organic argument presented by the Catalyst, which is the basis of reasoning for the harvesting apparently... it makes no sense at all for the reapers to *help* the geth *against* organics. Regardless of the nature of the reapers, this alone makes the Catalyst's reasoning hypocritical because it presents its 'unknowable reasoning' while working to tip the balance itself.

I felt Harbinger needed a critical role (in place of the Catalyst ghost ideally) but he was nearly entirely ignored.

I actually agree with this. For me, the happy ending would be Shep surviving somehow, with LI, and one good friend. I'd be okay with random crew members dying. I understand war comes at a cost, but does it have to be stupid, too?

I mean, really, do any of believe that the Normandy would load up ten minutes after Shep went comms dark and flee the battle? REALLY? And don't even get me started about the characters who died in the ground blitz at the beam, then were teleported to the crashed Normandy somehow. That doesn't make a lick of sense.

Maybe they're just doing this to prolong the feeling of "shepard is dead".

Like...in most games if you think the protagonist dies, the feeling of potential loss is gone in all of 10 seconds because you know he ain't really dead (like in ME1 for example...you kill saren and the place collapses but...you know he aint dead..)

With this though, for at least 2/3 of the potential endings, you are damn sure the protagonist is dead.

Now, if they were to release some free dlc called "epilogue" or something, then all these emotions you feel will be justified...but in a good way. I mean...for a while there you actually truly think shepards dead, unlike every other game ever.

Even with the two endings where there's no way he can survive, it is still somewhat ambiguous: in one shepard dissolves but he is still "alive" somehow, controlling the reapers. In one he jumps into the light, but as with the third ending, there's no proof he died. I mean, you'd THINK he'd be dead because either way he's on the citadel...which just blew up, but then he was in the third ending too but he can survive in that one so....

Maybe bioware just wants us to all truly believe he's dead for the sake of the story, just to come out with an epilogue piece where the ending we all wanted comes, closure and all.  They have said multiple times how important it is to keep your ME3 saves...so.

Maybe they are making us all very emotional on purpose.  Maybe they know what they're doing and we should trust them.

Guys, I am a little confused. Was there a part in the ending where you see Shepard's face buried in rubble and he takes a breath?

Destruction ending if you have enough war assets.

It really seems to me like we are unanimous on the fact that everything was fine until the catalyst, those are the 3 minutes of the game that ruin the epicness of this conclusion to an epic journey. Hell, even Shepard having a drink in heaven with Garrus would have been a more epic conclusion! Hey, god-VIs, so why not bars in heaven?

Sounds like they didn't have the time to finish the game because they were too busy focusing on marketing their product and found a quick solution to fix everything..

I had close to 7000 points and I don't remember this?
Is there a video of it?
