I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I've heard that beating the game a second time unlocks a secret ending!!!

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...
pipe-hitting mofos? Where are you? I don't think they're coming..oh F$&# they're not coming. Banshees too? FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....spam charge spam charge for the love of dear god in heaven almighty spam charge oh s&@! it's on cooldown my barriers are down buttf$^@ing baby Jesus on a pogo stick more banshees s$^@crap oh thank god navpoint run and hit it NOW...phew.

OH HELL YEAH DIE MOTHERF&@^ER DIE!"

lmao i ran so fast when i had that damn option i was like **** this boom run to missile launch. Those brutes were

pain in the ass...........

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?

Aye, you don't see his/her face, just his/her battered armor among some rubble with the N7 dog tags around his neck.

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.

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.

This would be kinda neat. I remember somebody saying that the beginning part of ME2 where Shepard died should have been at the end of ME1 for that effect.

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.

Put me down as well.

It's a certain ending.

[Ultramonkey88]

I'm not even upset that Shepard dies, what I am really upset about is the way he goes and the fact that there is no conclusion to the squadmates or the love interests story. And this whole thing about Mass Relays getting destroyed, when I destroyed one in ME2 a Star System went with it, so is most of the Galaxy dead anyway?

Destruction ending if you have enough war assets.

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

If the green bar was full, you should see it.  It's after the scene after the credits, I believe.

[GBGriffin]

It takes 8,000 if you save Anderson, 10,000 if you don't (with Readiness at 50% thats 4000/5000 )

I just don't see that happening with a studio giant like EA. They would not risk alienating a huge number of fans and causing potentially massive backfire with a gimmick like that.

Oh. Wait. <_<

But seriously, I don't think that is the case. It just violates all precedence in the trilogy, not to mention all principles of captivating storytelling.

I think though that that wasn't a smart idea there are so many people who finish the game before others and then they tell their friends about how the game is great but the ending was a turd bucket and they'll then lose some potential buyers. Even If they did bring it out now there would be quite a few people who feel betrayed by bioware and even though they brought out a epilogue dlc they wouldn't get it. In other cases people wouldn't keep track of bioware anymore and wouldn't see the dlc and they still feel as if they were betrayed even though there is an epilogue added later.
In any case it should have been added since the very beginning

Was it 7000 War Assets at 50% readiness? Because then it only counts as 3500.

How in the hell did I miss that?!

[kramerfan86]

Even ignoring the fact its been established Relays go down like super novas when destroyed, galactic society is gone. FTL travel is fine to get around a nebula but its not nearly quick enough to travel the galaxy in a reasonable time frame. So basically in all endings the galactic society you fought so hard for is gone, totally, with no hope of returning. Even in the epilogue they establish society is stuck in a pre-space age society. That to me might be the most depressing part, all the effort to unify the galaxy and its pretty much gone.

But there's this problem now. Yes, it would be cool if we got to see an epilogue in which Shepard survives, but the only possible way this could happen is if we take the destruction route. Not only does this kind of take weight away from the other options, but it means if we want anything resembling a satisfying ending, we have to destroy the Geth we fought so hard to give independence, not to mention killing EDI and breaking Joker's heart. If they wanted an option to let Shepard live, they did it horribly. Destruction is the only one where he doesn't explicitely die, and even then he's caught in a giant explosion on a self-destructing space station. This isn't even taking into account the crap God-Kid tells you about you being partly synthetic yourself (implying you very likely die as well). No, even stretching my imagination to its limits I cannot justify what Bioware did here.

No, the green bar being full is not enough. My green bar was full, so I thought, "Well great, no need for multiplayer then". How wrong I was.

Idk if they can make a better ending for the game cuz once shep passes out on the lift thing and sees that ghost kid it just gets stupid and confusing. Here we played all through 1 and 2 and it was nothing but hardcore fighting and trying to stay alive then the 3rd you finally have the reapers invading and we fought to survive and save a galaxy then at the end a ghost child apears a ghost child basically saying hes god and the citadel is his home and killing everyone is a must its just all so confusing and just doesn't make sense you can destroy all the mass relays and kill everyone the whole point of the game was to save everyone but instead you kill off almost the whole galaxy including yourself bioware what kind of drugs were you on when you made this game? I mean really..

It's completely illogical, however. If the Citadel explodes enough for there to be rubble, there is likely failure of life support. The Citadel was in space. In this mess, who is going to do search and rescue? How is Shep getting medical attention? So bascially, in this best case scenario, Shep gets to choke in vacuum a second time. SWEET!

Agreed. If you were to ask any random ME fan what they thought the theme of the trilogy was, you'd be hard pressed to have anyone say "the battle between organics and synthetics, and whether or not both can exist without conflict". As you mention, that was a real and significant subplot, but it never became anything more than that. They could as easily have said that the main theme was the battle of human dominance over galactic unity. Or the main theme was changing a cycle that could never be ended. Or the main theme was diversity overcoming conformity (current generation of citadel space vs. Prothean Empire). Or the main theme was unity beating impossible odds.

I mean, all of those examples are more accurate. When did they decide that the Quarian-Geth wars were the single most important element of the entire game? Defeating reapers and saving the galaxy was what we wanted. Be clever if you want, or just give some trite unoriginal "disney ending vs tragedy enging". But don't change the entire plot in the last 5 minutes!

Exactly.  The issue is the arbitrariness of it, and how it juxtaposes against the rest of the game.  I think they could have made a great trilogy based around the philosophical questions that form the end of the game, but that's not the trilogy they made, really.  The end doesn't fit the rest of the game in a very neat or well-flowing way.

Maybe I'm just trying to remain hopeful.

Little blue babies. Rainbows. Friendships. Hugs. High Fives. Tali unmasked in her new home. Etc.

But not the ending we need right now.




That was a joke.
