I'm just going to post this here for posterity, because I know this is exactly what's going to happen, and I want it on record.
When BioWare finally does issue a statement about all this, the only thing they will address is that it's not a happy ending. They will go on and on about "It's war, and people die," and "A story like this wasn't going to have a happy ending," and paint everybody complaining about this as just whiners who wanted their Shepard and favorite bed partner to get together and be happy at the end.
They will ignore the bad plot holes, the tortured logic, the hideous writing, and just address it on a level of "Well, you didn't like the ending because it wasn't the one you hoped for, but there was no way we could please everybody, so sorry."
Mark my words, it's what's coming.
I fully expect that to happen, however, it would be a complete lie. They could have reasonably please everyone in some way by simply tying the ending to your galactic readiness status.
-Above a certain number: Everyone takes heavy casulties but the reapers are destroyed. Shepard and his/her squad lives.
-Below a certain number: The forces in the battle are completely decimated with potentially some species being wiped out. Reapers are still defeated but Shepard and his/her entire squad die.
-In between those two: Some middle ground between the above two.
IMO, this would have given MOST of the fanbase at least a bit of what they wanted (except for those who wanted specific LI endings, but any reasonable person wasn't looking for that anyway). So if they preach that then I'm sure A LOT of people will be calling BS.
In the end though, you're probably right about what they'll say. Shame.
LI ending would of been grate but I never expected it I did however expect this or something like it and if they put something like this in I will be happy
What I don't understand is when they say: Not everybody will be happy with the endings.
Why not? I mean this is the last game with shepard so they can let the whole story end however they please. Of course it's not possible to make every single person happy but they could have at least made enough endings (very happy ones, cryptic ones, bad ones) so that everyone can choose what suits him/her best. (That's the basic Idea of an interactive game: to make decisions that influence the outcome not to reduce everything to three paths.
Maybe we shouldn't have stopped the reapers at all. More luck in the next cycle.
Well, truely "happy" endings would be unrealistic. I know we're talking about a game where space magic (eezo) helps ships move at FTL speeds, but there still has to be some grounding to the endings. The entire game is an all out war with the Reapers. Species are expected to be taking losses.
I think everyone in this thread understands that. There can still be a "happy" ending, but it's also going to have to include death. Maybe not the death of any major characters (except those who died prior to the end mission), but it WAS a war after all.
Instead of trying to tie the ending into out EMS/Galactic readiness, which increasing was the entire point of the game, we basically get "Reapers are out of the way somehow, but good luck getting across the galaxy after this. Also, Normandy randomly somewhere else with the people who were with you not a half hour ago. Also, remember that last time a mass relay was destroyed? Yeah, ignore that."

Worst thing is I cant make myself play anything right now, which is always the case after a good game, but this ending made it worse.
