One of the images shown is something that looks like a badge, that says "Forever Normandy" with an image of the Normandy in the center.

Sequel movie to the events of ME3?


I'm pretty sure it takes place between ME2 and ME3.


Ah. Good. I was about to get all kinds of upset all over again. I don't want an animated movie explaining things, I want a real, proper ending.

Update: Yeah, it's a prequel movie about James Vega and the events that he experienced pre-ME3.

Last +1, hopefully some response will come out soon


Game isn't even out in Japan yet, they get it on the 15th. Expect a response in a week or two, minimum and even then I don't expect it'll be a very uplifting response.

There is something I don't understand though. ME3 gives practically everything, squadmates interacting with each other, a very human Shepard, amazing cutscenes, resolving conflicts like the Genophage and Quarian-Geth mess, fighting on Earth, better N7 missions that feel more like ME1's missions, our choices matter during the game but in the end they take it all away. Why do that? Why make such a great game only to ruin it with the ending?

I don't understand how someone ever thought it was a good idea. Did they not foresee what would happen? Did they think everyone was going to like it? I hope the rage that is going on in here changes BioWare's mind because if it does not I can see them losing a large chunk of their fans. DA2 was a big black eye but I guess BioWare wanted a second and much bigger black eye.

Thanks for the link!  People need to join up! This is the only way we as a whole can tell Bioware to give us what we want!

hey guys, I've been seriously itching to post, finally passed the 24 hour lobby after i joined BSN and registered ME3, been lurking here and its been the only thing thats made me feel better about this mess. loved the ME universe since ME1 and just wanted to show my support for a more fitting and respectful end to such an amazing series.

that said here is the most insidious thing about how it all ended for me. the fact that nothing i did through the whole trilogy seemed to matter, really gave me a palpable negative reaction followed by complete and utter disbelief and incomprehension of how this was even possible. then i started to feel stupid, stupid for reacting so strongly to the ending of a game, stupid for having invested so much time into the series, stupid for having invested emotionally in the universe and its characters at all. i paid time, money and emotions. to. feel. stupid. for. it.

that said i really cannot blame the dev team, they are extraordinary people who have crafted such an amazing story, universe and characters. i really feel for them because as bad as we all feel about this I'm sure they feel just as bad if not worse. the whole fiasco really reeks of creative control being taken from the creative people involved at the last moment in a mad rush to get something, anything out the door and selling. the game was 1% from being appropriately completed and thats a tragedy to me.

I can see your point. But then the Dev team should take these forums to the powers that be and say " Hey you made us rush it. So now we are going to loose money, if you don't allow us to fix it!

At least it's being made by Production I.G... though they hven't made anything I've really liked since the Ghost in the Shell TV series.

for all the great posts that have been in this forum thread, i wish everything that we have discussed be true or somewhat true because the way that this has ended thus far is a travesty to everyone that played this trilogy from day one of the first game!!!

Welcome to the forum, and we do have to respect that Bioware did make a fantastic game. The only flaw is the ending, I think.

 I'm another first time poster coming out of the wood work. At least the mass disappointment is bringing us all together. 

I finished the game last night and and my first feeling was complete dissatisfaction. Which is a shame because I thought everything leading up to the last hour was amazing. It seemed to me that bioware was actually going to pull this off. Then the harbinger beam hits and everything stopped making sense. At first I thought it had to be another dream sequence (which I see is a running theory) because of how weird and distorted everything was. I didn't even really pay attention to the ghost god kid because he was just talking in circular nonsensical gibberish. I thought once I got passed him I would get to the real ending. And then that didn't happen. I thought since I was playing unspoiled I must have made a wrong decision somewhere, and then it turns out all the endings are basically the same. None of the decisions I've made really mattered at all. Once I realized that I just got sad, and confused again. There was no rage just emptyness. Up to that point the game was so engaging, all the inside jokes and character cut scenes were just what the last episode in a trilogy ordered. The soundtrack was chill inducing, Jennifer Hale's voice acting was amazing, and then it just stopped being Mass Effect. I'd rather my Shepard just hit a giant kill Reapers button on the Citadel and collapsed next to Anderson's body (after leaving the extended dialogue in of course). Seriously this was the most flagrant use of deus ex machina I've ever scene. The finales of BSG and Lost combined don't have anything on that ghost kid. 

It was like a world class marathon runner who had paced themselves perfectly the whole race, and was about to cross the finish line in first place only to trip over their own feet and face plant a foot away from the finish line.

So someone posted this in another thread? Maybe it was posted here but I kinda of like this interpretation of the endings. It doesn't take away the sting of the what we got but it's nice to see it from another perspective. Plus I feel like if they were truly this way, a DLC to wrap up the endings would flow more naturally from this perspective.



“Please indulge us crazies for a moment. The following is a partial list of reasons we believe the ending is a hallucination. I promise if you read it, it will make more sense than you think…


-The endgame scenario is Indoctrination/Manipulation from the Reapers (Harbinger) trying to force you into choosing to let the Reapers live. Shepard is not awake during the final scenes.
-Choosing Control - You can not control them, they control you. Shepard says as much to the Illusive Man moments earlier.
-Choosing Synthesis - Allows everyone in the galaxy to be manipulated by Reaper code, like they have done to the Geth multiple times now.
-Choosing Destroy - Breaks the hold the reapers have on Shepard’s mind.
-Choosing to destroy all synthetic life option is more Renegade in appearence. Controlling the Reapers is more Paragon in appearence. The Illusive Man’s choice should not be Paragon colors, just as Anderson’s choice should not be Renegade. The reapers are saying that Destroy is the worst, Control is worse, and Synthesis is the best. They want you to fail.
-Stating that all sythetic life will be destroyed will give you pause; destroying the Geth can force you to a different conclusion. This choice exists for the illusion of choice; the other choices are ment to sound better.
-In Synthesis and Control, the various energies cause Shepard to turn black and start to appear VERY husk-like. This does not happen in Destroy because Destroy is the only option in which Shepard is not falling under Reaper control.
-Shepard wakes up after Destroy, because the Reaper’s hold is diminished. Shepard does not awake in the other 2 “endings” because you are fully indoctrinated by the choices you made to allow the Reapers to win. “Assuming Control!”
-How would the reapers (or anything really) know to use the image of the child unless they were inside Shepard’s head?
-The child does not actually exist. He is an attempt to indoctrinate Shepard. Nobody but Shepard ever sees or interacts with the child.
-When Anderson calls for Shepard at the beginning of the game, when Shepard is talking to the child, Shepard turns back and the child is gone. Shepard has been “snapped out of it”.
-When Shepard turns towards Anderson after being “snapped out of it”, a growl is heard. In the third novel, when Greyson resisted the reapers they would make a growling noise once they realized they didn’t have him under complete control.
-During Shepard’s final dream with the child, chatter can be heard over the radio about nobody making it to the beam. Shepard is still in London.
-When Shepard catches the child in the final dream, they are both engulfed in flame. Going with the child (the reapers) means Shepard’s destruction.
-Shepard has spent alot of time around Reapers. Soveriegn, various Reaper artifacts, the Human Reaper, 2 Reaper destroyers, the Artifact from “The Arrival.” Its foolish to assume there is not some level of indoctrination.
-When Shepard wakes up at the end of Destroy, he/she is waking up in London, after being hit with the laser."

Goddamn that is sad and she's not even Shepard to me.

Edit: Totally blew taking out quote pyramid, I was referring to female Shepard and Anderson a few pages back. I'd love to hear the male version too.

Completely agree with you about that Shepard and Anderson audio. Holy moly, that was heartbreaking. Made me tear up in waterfalls.

Ugh. Why??!

I agree with this entire post.

- The fact that players were so caught off-guard made things worse.

I don't know about the hallucination/indoctrination theory. Seems like twisting facts to fit theories. The standard player isn't going to pick up on half of that. I feel like if that was truly the ending Bioware intended, that they would've been a bit more explicit about it.
