Not sure if anyone has posted about this or not but I saw on the demand a better ending facebook page where someone suggested hitting the unlike button the official mass effect page. What do you all think about this, is that a good idea or would seem like us all throwing a fit?


Well I didn't think about it, but if you do, then you don't get their updates anymore and won't know if they make a comment on the situation.

I think this is what continues to make this so bizarre and uniquely stunning for people, myself included. ME3, like ME2 and ME before it, was FANTASTIC until the final 10 minutes. It's simply inconceivable that the same people who handled the Krogan and Turians, Mordin, the Geth conflict and Legion, Thane, the LI dialogue, and the like, for the rest of the game, put together what we had handed to us at the very end. How do you come THAT close to making perhaps the greatest trilogy of games ever and then fail at the last second. It's just so confusing. Had ME3 been horrible the whole ride through, it would have been a disaster, yes, but it would have been one that we could understand. "Oh BioWare just isn't who they used to be" ... "Oh look, another DA2" ... "Oh see, add multiplayer and this is what you get" and so on.

But they had all of those tired complaints (of which I was fully prepared to levy against them) PUT TO BED by the time they had me tearing up like a child at Mordin's death scene. I was fully prepared to admit I was wrong, to say that the masters were still the masters. And then they fumbled at the goal line... and I think, perhaps, that hurts in an entirely different way. A way I wasn't expecting, nor have I ever experienced anything quite like.


Exactly how I feel, word by word.

It is so ridiculous that I'm starting to believe they ended the game this way so that people would just focus on hating the endings, praising the rest of the game and then release proper endings, getting rid of all possible complaints at once.

I just don't want to believe that this will be the way we send off the trilogy. And why should it be? At this age of games where DLC is such a common thing. If almost all your players hate the ending, the most profitable thing you can do is to give them a new one. Because we know that they want to sell DLC, I'm sure they want to continue the franchise in one form or another and I just can't see how they can pull people back into the Mass Effect universe with all this hatred for the endings.

Ok I just had to do a bit of looking around in the crucible and I had something interesting happen, if you take too much time deciding I got a "The Crucible has been destroyed" Screen, whats up with that??

Edit: Btw I mean after talking to the god kid/jesus/ai thing (that was a joke)

 

Wait... what?  


I'm not kidding...I went and was looking at pylons (that 1M1 thing and why it was reversed (really its just a model that they created one side and flipped to make the other and used the same texture to save time but I digress) I walked over to the "destroy" section but instead of turning left turned right walked all the way down, then walked back trying to get to center and that happened.

these kind of things need lots of people to work. unless there's a post that has lots of followers planning to do something like this it'll just be 10-15 people unliking mass effect page. need lots of people to actually have an effect.

edit: also, like what soske aizen said we look like we hate the whole game. the only problem i have with the game is the ending, other than that i loved it.

That's true, don't think the people who are suggesting that really thought about that aspect of it. I think I am going to get on there to point this out to them, if the devs respond we are going to want to know as fast as we can.

On another note someone on the facebook page just posted a great article from a game site that puts into words very well why the ending was bad: www.gamasutra.com/blogs/MihaiCosma/20120311/165438/Why_Mass_Effect_3s_ending_failed_to_deliver.php

There has been a trope found that perfectly describes the ME3 ending.

The longer Bioware stays silent the more damning this is

It's not about bittersweet issues. It's about the endings don't make any sense from Joker tried to jump away from the blast..... the blast that has speed faster than light while he was fighting the reaper right beside the crucible. It's more like sad excusing endings b.c the one responsible for the ending suddenly doesn't know what he's writing about :S

1) Instead of Joker try to fly away from blast to some mysterious place, change that to he didn't notice the blast is coming out from Mass Relay and that corner him to land on earth. Keep the destruction of the mass relays, it's fine.


*For blue and green, Joker doesn't realize the danger imminent to the ships and didn't use the jump to run away to a mysterious world instantly right after the Battle of the Reaper? The energy obviously travels faster than light, and this guy somehow knows to run away when they are all busy fighting the reapers? pfff com'on... Blue blasts ability can only control the reaper and the destruct of mass relay because of overload energy, which massrelay can respond to. The green as well,... but it's like turning everyone to have illusive man's eyes lol

*The red would make sense with the endings we have where Joker and Survivors stuck on a random planet, EDI in the ship detected the danger of the beam that would harm any computers, engines, robot....etc warn Joker and try to run away.

2) Add more after story conclusions of each individual races that were saved and what happen to the Character that survive (and also tell which one really die). We all know the one that survive are all stuck on earth lol.

* you know, regardless of what I do, Joker, Kaidan, and Liara came out of the ship.... what about the rest? Presumably dead? Really! With my 6341 EMR? Com'on!!!

Worst ending ever. I can hardly believe Bioware agreed to this. The endings are so bad if they released new ones as DLC I would gladly pay.

Wait, with the Shepard beeing on Earth later.

Couldn't it be that everything beyond the beam hitting you was a vision of WHAT could happen in the worst case, and actually there is another way to doing it in a DLC. Just saying.

Shepard couldn't survive the fall from the Citadel. But he could survive the trauma and disorientation caused by a reaper beam...So...aren't chances high we get a DLC?


If thats the case it's very cheap not ending the story in the actual game and forcing any fan to buy a DLC (or maybe expansion) to finish the story, it's even worse than disc locked content!!

You must buy DLC in order to get the best ending. That would be a travesty.:mellow:


Yea... Would probaly end up as the worst DLC scandal ever xD


it already happend with ff 13-2

Emotional blackmail, eh?

Note to self: Set aside 5 years to devise similar clever plots like this in own life.

[edit]

Ohnoes! ME is my own life. Damn..

Regarding gameplay, I actually thought it was very good though most of the powerful weapons have been reduced in power. But regarding the story the game was really good until you meet the catalyst. The ending pretty much crushed the game and buried it. ME1 had an amazing story this would have been equal to or better if not for the ending.

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't explain who the catalyst is. What caused him to build the reapers. What happened in the million years since the reapers were created. The charm of the series was that you kept wondering why the reapers were created, who created them and what happened to the creators to build them. The reasons for why the reapers kill organics makes sense but you don't explain the story of the creators.
And after 3 games you still can't explain the keepers of the citadel or show us the mysteries of the citadel.
I have to say you did a good job closing all the story loops that were started in the previous games but not the back history before that.

The funniest thing about people accusing us of wanting a 'Disney' ending is that it is fundamentally not possible.

If if we got a Shepard gets to live and have LI and most of crew, and keep mass relays...the reapers probably killed more than half the population of Earth, and more than 75% of the infrastructure. Doesn't even include colony worlds or worlds belonging to other races.

The thought of trying to recover from that level of destruction is, frankly, staggering...a century or more in the making....


And that would be the sacrifice, the bitter-sweet part of the perfect ending, rather than having the whole of Galactic civlization set back thousands of years, and the colonies that couldn't possibly support themselves fading into oblivion in the deaths of millions of people more.

What I just rememberd... did I understood that right?

That catalysator kid created the Reapers, to wipe out advanced lifeforms every 50k years, so they don't get wiped out by the synthetic life they created?

Uhhh... m'kay?

So... a non-standard Game Over?

Was it the first or NG+ playthrough?
