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. 

Fans of the Harry Potter series had to wait almost 12 years and pay $245 to read.

In fact, almost any book trilogy will end up still being at least $105 and at least three years to read.

Poor point.

I recall Harry Potter having a satisfying ending. How many trilogies end up like 1st - good ending, 2nd - good ending, 3rd - tragic ending

Also how many book trilogies allow you to create your own character and live vicariously through them the whole series?

Cormac McCarthy's border trilogy

1st - bittersweet ending, 2nd - sad ending, 3rd - sad ending, more sad than the 2nd.

Exactly, the overlying tone of the series was sad. Therefore, the ending made sense. If the overlying tone of your series is triumph then you can't suddenly make it tragic in the last part.

Whoa, clam down... it could be worse... George Lucas could have written the script and we'd all be stuck on Naboo with the Gunguns at the end.

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

If you're talking about the leaked script, it had destroying, enslaving, and becomming one with the reapers listed.  Those don't sound like slight variations to me.  Not sure about the strategy guide, but I will admit that is at least a good point.

Don't give Bioware any more ideas...

and complete triumph is not the overlying tone....and really everyone surviving the "sucide mission" was a cop out. People complained that eveyone could survive, defeating the concept.

Like the musicians in the Titanic, I want to be there when my perfect ending sinks in a sea of sorrow.

[f1ndmenow]

Bioware created these forums to listen to fans and now they must comply for we are all the consumer. I feel guilty

I'm still stuck on the ending of the epilogue.

No wonder we keep seeing images of kids fascinated with spacecraft—in the demo, and the latest trailer.

duh...

At least we wouldn't starve to death on Naboo. Or spend the last fleeting moments of life after our victory alone on a barren rock. Judging by the end of Episode One Naboo can throw a pretty good party.

Trust me, they are slight variations of the same thing: shepard and the normandy (and the crew) gets screwed. That doesn't change, and thats why people are pissed about it.

[JJDrakken]

Well, I now see no reason to even own the game. Between forced to have Origins(Even Hard Copy), Day 1 DLC about Promethians, & now F.U. Ending no matter what.

I'll pass.

So give us a chance to save the Normandy from being taken away....... There is no choice. The Normandy goes bye bye. Gone. Out of reach. Even if Shepard survives the battle she/he will be alone if they romanced any LI. It's bs.

I may be wrong, is that not what happens in this? There are three endings, Paragon, Renegade and Synergy. Paragon involves destroying the Reapers, Renegade involves rewriting the Reapers and Synergy becomes merging with synthetic life. This is the same thing, or is there something I missed along the way?

66 pages in 1 day ....this matters to customers.

Yeah, but..... maybe 100 unique commenters. At most. Even if half the posters in this thread decided to not buy the game, which is highly unlikely, it would only be a loss of a few thousand dollars for Bioware. None of this matters. The game is done. EA will get our money. Bioware will move on to something else. End of story.

[hitorihanzo]

I said the same thing as ussbones6. IF this is indeed true, then ME3 will be the last BioWare game that I purchase. I have defended them tooth and nail for years, both on these forums and on the SWTOR board. I know that I'm only one customer, and my piddly $60 doesn't matter too much, but I've had it with self-indulgent "writers", ruining my gaming experience. The only way I can express my opinion is with my wallet.

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.

The old adage: I trip on untied shoelaces and sprain my thumb, it's tragic; you fall on a banana peel and break your neck, it's comedy.  Not saying you as in Txgoldrush the person behind the keyboard, using the general "you", lest anyone mistake my meaning.  It's funny when it happens to someone else because they're not me.  By that same, Shepard being subsumed, or dying alone, or having everyone Shepard cares for being taken from him/her is the context people approach the endings from.

The billions who are saved - yeah hooray.  They are nameless and faceless, as the once-human husks that Shepard kills in 2 games.  Shepard is an avatar for the player.  The player guides and moves this Shepard character through a facsimile of life.  You have more connection to that one character, and all the people that character interacts with.  That is the context that people complain about.

If you knew a thing about Lucas' writing, you'd know that his characters are far too wooden and boring to pass for Mass Effect characters.

The Normandy bit was added for some reason.

Doesnt matter what you choose, they relays go bye bye, thousand of people die, your LI dies, you die, and hooray, we got it all set for a new trilogy!

[SnakeSNMF]

Well, congraluations Bioware. Just like the original leak, people were pissed. This ruins Biowares' Mass Effect franchise as it is. It ruins the realism. It ruins the relationships. It ruins everything. The war with the Reapers should've been a traumatizing tenious one, but to destroy every Mass Relay, to have everybody die just last second..?
All of this baggage? What a poor execution to a glorious universe. :|

Nevermind the fact that Earth can be destoryed and Shep can die.

Then I guess the whole, "They say it's a suicide mission...prove them wrong" blurb on the back of the box was for the lulz?

"Many decisions lie ahead, none of them easy."

The Normandy had to go. I am fine with that now. Most likely will find it perfect when I visualize it and find out why in the actual game.
