Never has a video game ending so soured my perception of an entire series. I never thought such a thing could be possible, but Bioware managed to ruin my favorite game series, which I've put hundreds of hours into, in five short minutes. While the final assault on Earth was a bit lackluster, I was still enjoying the game right until the moment Shepard met the Catalyst. I'm pretty devastated, and I feel betrayed. I'm adding my voice to the chorus here in the slim hope that Bioware will somehow manage to salvage this abomination.


I think the final assault on Earth was done quite well, actually. I enjoyed that scene a lot.

Finally got a stylish new banner for this cause :P

I would still like an explanation from Bioware about the stranding of the Normandy. It makes less sense than when everyone flew off in the shuttle in ME2.

exactly. like i said, the last .0017% of the series ruined the entire 100%

its like having  full tray of brownies. man are these brownies good. then the person who made the brownies tells you at the last minute that they added a bit of poop to these brownies.....these brownies are no longer good brownies....

I just finished the game myself and, like most of you, am very disappointed in the ending scenarios. When I reached the point where I had to make one of three decisions, I had to get up and walk away to give myself time to think how I can get the ending I want. Sadly, I played all three endings hoping that one would give me the closure to the series I was hoping for. Alas, that did not happen. 
It is frustrating, disappointing, and most of all, sad that no matter what you do, no matter the choices you've made over the course of 3 games and over 100 hours of gameplay, you are reduced to essentially 1 ending that clearly no one is satisfied with. Ultimately, I feel empty and empathize with every fan who feels their choices meant nothing in the hour in which they should have meant the most. 
I am fine with having an ending in which Shepard dies. In fact, I suspected that it would be one do the options. That's ok, but it shouldn't be the only option. Why not show an ending where Shepard and his LI are happily ever after? Why not show an ending where Shepard fails and the cycle continues? Why not show Shepard sacrificing himself to save all life, but not destroy the Mass Relays? Why can't there be a final showdown with Harbinger? My point is, there are numerous options that could have been used. Why just one? It was our choices that led us to the end. It should have been our choice on how it ends. 
The "stock" endings don't make sense anyway. Why was Joker piloting the Normandy away from Earth anyway? How did the crew end up on the ship when they were charging the citadel teleporter with me? If the Mass Relays are destroyed, then how is that better than the Reapers destroying organic life? It just doesn't make sense. 
Would DLC fix the ending? Probably, but we shouldn't need DLC to make our choices mean something, to give us the closure and ending we want. Will it be perfect for all? No, but it will be better than a meaningless, confusing, and empty ending we've all been forced into. No fan of the series should ever have to pay to feel their choices meant something and to have a satisfying ending. However, EA knows we will all pay for it because this is as much our story as it is theirs. And we, the fans of this incredible universe, characters, and story, we will make one more choice, the most important choice of the series. We choose to reject this one "stock" ending. We deserve better for Shepard, his friends, and ourselves. 


seconded.

Thats actually a good summation of how absurd the endings made the rest of the game.  All the running around trying to get people together to save the galaxy comes to a screeching halt when the kid-vi shows up to tell you you've basically been wasting your time and you can only do these 3 things.


RIGHT? I mean, what was the point of building your multi-species fleet when you never see them fight? What was the point of curing the genophage or making peace between the geth and the quarians (or not, in both cases)? You never take back Earth. Basically, it's like, "oh, we're not actually writing an ending for the game you played. Have this one from Deus Ex!" 


Absolutely. And their marketing campaign was all about taking Earth back. I'm pretty sure everybody expected a final grand battle for Earth. Maybe see glimpses of Palaven freed, new settlements on the Quarian homeworld.. A Krogan baby.. SOMETHING!

After the ending, I feel that I wasted my time being a fan of Mass Effect, Shepard die, all my N7 things that I got feels that they should be destroyed too... my goodness, How Bioware can pull this on us, this is not fair at all, You are forcing the player thats us, our Shepard to sacrifice to save the galaxy....then whats point of uniting entire galaxy, including friendly and powerful alliance the geth. It feels so bad....Bioware you just evil, hurting people

Well they ran out of original endings so they had to borrow from somewhere else.  So they used Deus Ex with a little bit of DA2 thrown in to add to the insanity of the the kid's forced choices which were essentially like walking down a road but choosing to walk on the left, middle or right.  You'll still get to the same destination, just maybe the view will be a bit different.

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

It's the ending we deserve.
But not the ending we need right now.




That was a joke.





Damn it, I just want my blue babies. And this is coming from someone who actually likes bad endings.


I told Kaidan I'd come back to him. What a joke.


I told Garrus there was no Shepard without Vakarian. :/ There's so much hope in all the conversations; my main shep talking about babies with Garrus, and my other two sheps, one talking about little blue babies and one promising to build a home on a planet the ending gurantees his LI will likely never see again... I didn't even do those later two (though I know what is said) because I can't convince myself to play them through ME3 only to leave their LI and all their promises in the dirt. You'd think Shep would have more willpower than to say oh, so I get to pick a color? that's cool. I know my main shep would've told the AI to GTFO and taken her chances against the reapers had it been a choice, she had full assets.

I don't even know what to write (besides what everyone else has stated)...
So many hours spend and everything is ruined in the last few minutes. There really is no point in doing all the "hard work", you might as well just made a speedthrough and it wouldn't make a goddamn difference. And the game was really doing amazingly, why ruined it that way?. I never thought i would be so disapointed with an ending since AC:Revelations, but i think BioWare actually beat Ubisoft in worst ending ever. Son i am dissapoint. So much fail.

I found something to cheer me up.

Despite the fusion between organic and synthetic life forms, Joker still walks like crap.

Decided to one last check of a bunch of gaming sites I get all my news from and I am glad that I did, gamerant just posted theirs. In the review the writer states multiple times that the ending was very unsastifying and that Bioware really dropped the ball on this one. They say that it gives no satisfactory conclusion to otherwise amazing series. Anybody interested in the full article can go here: gamerant.com/mass-effect-3-reviews-robk-137729/

I got another question...if we get the option to control the reapers, why can't we tell the Catalyst to bugger off and just take control of the reapers in the Sol system. That way, we don't destroy the relays, and use the reapers in the Sol system to take out the rest in the galaxy.....?

(I guess like the reprogrammed Geth?)

To take control of the Reapers you have to blast all the relays. You can't assume direct control of a particular set of reapers, it's all or nothing.

Here guys, I summed up the end of the game in 8 seconds!

 

I was okay with the ending at first (i'd just do NG+ and get the best ending), but I thought it was bugged (no slides or anything?). This was my reaction when I found out not only was it not bugged, it was pretty much the ONLY ending.

Probably :ph34r:

Or maybe he was lying all this time, and Chakwas was his accomplice.

That's how he got EDI. Bastard, giving pity to everyone.
