It seems like it and your choice affects what color the relays turn when they go bye bye.

The green looks prettty, so I'm leaning towards 'Merge'.

I declare this line of reasoning to be the best way to solve the problem of how to pick from ME3's various brands of suck.

Way ahead of you. By the way. Pretty much that exact epilogue is in the leaked script so... Start drinking.

Not all stories require a happy ending. Not all stories are even better with them. Not all games are meant to make you feel good about them. 

As games grow out of it's adolescense and start attempting to tackle more mature and human subject matter, this will become more prevalent. I find it odd that people don't harshly criticize a novel or a movie for having a bittersweet or even grim ending, sometimes are even lauded for it, yet video games are help under heavy scrutiny for it.

Well Bioware, thanks for screwing me over.

The most annoying thing is that there might as well be only 1 ending. Slight differences mean nothing.

They may have more meaning to the grander storyline, but this is nothing new. The endings in ME1 were just slight differences which meant nothing. Same with ME2. This is an interactive novel, where your actions do effect the games story. Nobody said that they would make for a wildly different experience.

But in those games the differences were suppose to have an impact on the real end. No one said it would be a bad game, but it's looking like it.

Most books don't take five years and a $150 dollars to read. I need to feel like I've succeeded at the end of this half-decade long endeavor.

Because it involves punishing the people who play it, basically.

I think it's because we put ourselves in the game, so when the game has a "bad" ending it makes us feel like we failed in whatever the mission was, while in movies and books we are just observers watching others make mistakes. Sooo in short it's because we take it way to personally.

This reminds me of a far older story.
When Pandora was given the fabled box, she was urged not to open it. But open it she did, and just as the wave of spoilers released by Xbox live, scripts, and distraught former employees has brought this community from gleeful anticipation to anger time and time again, the negative emotions of hatred, fear, envy, greed, and more swept across the world.

But that was not the end of the story. Hope remained, buried under it all.

The hope in this instance would be that the fired employee has openly stated that he's not "completely sure about how the endings were resolved".
The hope that those who have finished the game and posted, have only done so by making various choices at the bitter end, and thus may have quite probably missed another track or two.
The hope that the scripts all contradict each other at multiple levels.
The hope of the unknown strategy guide holder, claiming a "butterfly and rainbows ending"
And finally, the hope that Bioware intends to make a franchise from this series. It is far harder to gain new fans then preserve old ones, and Bioware cannot be accused of lacking buisness savvy, despite its many other complaints leveled towards it.

This is why, against all odds, I hope. You may choose to do as you wish, but can you honestly say that it is not better to hope and fall short, then resign yourself before the death toll is rung?
I chose to hope

Yes, that's all very well, but there are plenty of stories with happy endings that are considered great works of literature.  Conversely, a depressing ending doesn't automatically equal "art," any more than shooting a film in black and white does.  In a game as ostensibly choice-based and open-ended as Mass Effect, a happy ending, or even a bittersweet ending where the squadmates you've worked with for three games aren't completely screwed, would have been perfectly acceptable.

I may be wrong, and please if you could provide the evidence against it, but I never recall them ever saying that your choices led up to a major impact on the end of the trilogy, just that your choices matter. They do, in both what variation of the six endings you get as well as, what's more important, the many variations of story that change during the course of the game based on your actions in the first two. 

[Bat32391]

Nice to know Bioware screwed up on this one well whatever I stillf have Skyrim so I'll be fine.

[txgoldrush]

Ever thought that maybe, the ending is quite hopeful, even if Shep is seperated from his team and that they are marooned? Or that Shep may be near Earth if he survives?

Oh wait, forget about context, lets complain.
