Oi!

You talkin' **** 'bout mai waifu?


I'm just kidding it's all good.


Who, me?  :innocent:

Wouldn't dream of talkin' smack about Tali...  But hey, it got a Krogan on his feet.  :lol:


Tali: I'm standing right here.   I can't believe that worked.
Garrus:  Nothing like a military pep talk

Oh the memories...:crying:

I can't understand this, I really can't. I've worked the endings over and over in my head, trying to find some way to make sense of it. I really can't. Everything leading up to the last 10 minutes or so was great, brilliant stuff. I accidentally saw some spoiler stuff pre-release, but figured that there would be a way out in the end. I thought a game that prided itself on being a choice/consequence experience would take into account how I played the game, the fact that I united two enemy races not once, but twice, truly united the galaxy.

And what do I get after doing every stupid "fetch me this" side mission and playing a multiplayer where finding good teammates is harder than getting Garrus to blush? I get Deus Ex in space-opera paint, minus a positive outcome and introspective dialog. A series I've adored for around five years was destroyed in 10 minutes.

My only wish now is that somehow there's an uber-secret ending where you can tell that little ghost kid on a power trip to go to hell.

Exactly. The romance subplot in ME3 was definitely my favorite of all the ME games, and it was amazing. Also, the characters have more natural movements and facial expressions, so it made it so much better and cuter. It was well written, and the goodbyes right before the final battle made me cry...:crying:
My mom and I were crying together (yes, I played ME3 with my mom sitting on the couch behind me...the beauty of being on spring break from college)


Me too, especislly with Garrus. I absolutely lost control.

Haha, this is not helping... I'm feeling really bad with the endings, I'm sabotaging myself with sad music and now I'm reading, and re-reading, again, and again TamiBx's post.

I need something to brighten myself. Some humor maybe.

To show unification it would be awesome if everyone had the same image in there sig, just saying that would look awesome scrolling down the page.

The most logical/hopefull explaination so far is the Hallucination/Indocrtination theory. I was and still am extremely upset with Bioware.

I was crying through that... the voice acting, it was amazing, it felt as though all of my emotions were being passed directly through my Shepard.  

When I chose my ending, I was literally sobbing and apologizing to Legion and Edi and everyone who was getting screwed with my decision to destroy the reapers.

Oh yes, by all means, loved the game. Loved it all the way up to that ending with three choices which didn't really affect much.

Hopefully it was all just a dream Shepard was having... from loss of blood near the end. They'll wake up with a bunch of other options available or something....

It's all a hallucination. Best was to explain it and feel a bit better about it, for me at least.

What should have happened:

Catalyst: You, Shepard, will not survive regardless of the choice you make.
Shepard: Okay, how about this, I'll give you my gun and you can shoot the console over there. Meanwhile, I'll go back to Earth with my Turian-lover and all our friends, and we'll watch the Citadel explode-red from there. Sound good? Great. See ya!
Catalyst: I told you she wouldn't fall for it.
Harbinger: We are so ****ed.


I would pay $30+ for a renegade interrupt during the "choices" explanation where Shepard just screams "F*** YOU!" and blows the hell out of a control panel, deactivating all the reapers and saving the galaxy. But then again, I think I'd probably want a little bit more.


Paragon would be: Shhhhhh I finally chased you down. now go burn in the fire like the dream kept telling me!


Yes! I can see Shepard going, "Isn't this the part where you burst into flames?" <_<

The last line from Shepard about being in heaven and having his back.... Still makes me teary just thinking about it.

Please excuse me if this post is on the dramatic side.

I beat ME3 last night. This morning, I opened my closet, and stood there for a moment looking at my $40 N7 button up shirt. I then put it on. I then took out the SR2 Normandy picture I received with my N7 Collector's Edition, and put it in a frame that now sets next to my computer. I did these things because despite my feelings towards the end, I still love Mass Effect. I love it more than any story I have experienced in most other mediums. Back in 2007, Mass Effect was the reason my 15 year old self got his first job in order to buy an Xbox so I could play it when it came out. I have adored and followed this trilogy since before day 1.

I join you all because we all love this game so much. It is why we have argued so passionately about why we need better endings. We all hold this game to our hearts, and we feel it deserves to have a proper ending. We fight because we care.

Bioware, I have never lost faith in you. ME3 has been the greatest game I have ever played. We desire these better endings. We may say that we deserve it for the countless hours we have devoted to it, but the story deserves it as well, and so do you as a company. You deserve to be lauded, and have praises directed at you for this trilogy. These three things cry out for an ending it should have.

- A Mass Effect fan till the end.

Thank you for reading.

QFT. Never have I looked upon robots in a video game with such guilt. Though I imagine both EDI and the Geth would understand the need for their sacrifice, I regretted that it came to that.

I'm gonna go on a personal note here, so please bear with me:

I try to make the galaxy a better place for everyone, where people of all species/beliefs/background can co-exist peacefully and persue happiness together. As you probably have guessed I play Paragon. (Mostly)

I have been on a long, long quest to right the many, many wrongs in the galaxy. I ended a centuries old war by uniting the Geth and the Quarians. Stopped mass genocide by curing the Genophage, defeated racial supremacists by destroying Cerberus, just to mention a few things did in this game alone... There were many times where I could have taken the easy way out but I didn't, I'm not like that. I made many-a-sacrifice to ensure the benefit of all.

This has led to a massive build-up right up until the end of Mass Effect 3, I've worked so hard and fought so diligently to make the galaxy a place for everyone, only to be told in the last  ten minutes of the game that such pursuits are useless. All of the hard work and emotional investment  created over the past three games was left unrewarded. (some would even say punished.) The galaxy I envisioned, one where people co-exist in harmony was a lie, taken away by a deus ex machina plot device inserted in the last moments of the game.

As I watched the credits roll, I felt nothing but emptiness.

Maybe I invest myself too much in these things, but I just can't help falling in love with such a great set of characters in such an awesomely crafted univserse.

All I can say is: The ball is in your court BioWare, I anxiously await your response to the feedback left by me and my fellow players...

Lol! Thank you.

I didn't needed to watch the video, I laughed with the most liked comment.

Same here. I was trying to get myself to play the MP to take my mind off things, but I can't bring myself to play any game, let alone ME3 right now. Yes, I am a shameless gamer chick that invested way too much emotion into a game, and I don't care.

What makes this all the more painful was that up until the God-Kid, this was by far my favorite game of all time. It even beat out Baldur's Gate II, the game that single-handedly got me into RPGs. Now...maybe I should go back to playing BG when I feel up to playing games again. At least I know that one had an ending that makes sense.

**** man, Garrus was the absolute definition of a bro in ME3. The target practice on the citadel was brilliant, and that final goodbye was heart wrenching. When Harbinger hit, I was so worried about him and Liara. But of course, deus ex machina messed everything up, and I don't really know what happened to them. I saw Liara step off the ship though, not that it made any sense.

She was pretty much resigning herself to her death, but still reassured him that even if she didn't make it she would always be watching down at him so he would never be alone.  After all, there is no Shepard without Vakarian. :'{

Quoted for truth. I felt the same way. And the promise to meet Garrus at the bar in heaven for a drink... Just thinking about that still makes me cry...
