I would like to point out the fact that we were singing the praises of io9 earlier.

So, with these endings, is this still the:
Most Important Science Fiction Universe of Our Generation?

How is all the character development through the entire three games pointless? Even going by these endings, that is the dumbest thing I ever heard.

Lets see, the theme of ME3 is victory through sacrifice as stated by developers.

Shepard being broken from his crew to save the universe would be that sacrifice. That means he has to let all the characters he befriended for three games go, either through his death or the seperation of the crew.

That would I don't know, make a lot of sense.

Think about it, life is about the journey NOT the destination...why? because the only proven destination is death.



very nice point my friend!

As much as I like Bioware and the Mass Effect series, I won't be returning to this site. So many of you are so pessimistic, it's downright stupid. "Oh no, I read a rumor on the internet. Why Bioware? Why? I'm canceling my preorder." 
:lol:


basically it what it is, a pissing on something they have no context over......

...meanwhile the silent majority will love this game.

Jesus, guys... lighten up a bit. This is a video game, and not even a particularly artsy one.  It's not supposed to remind us all of our impending mortality

Nevermind the whole point of that relationship is journey not destination.

Actually...it's pretty heavily hinted that the grandfather and little boy in the end are living in a colony created by the Normandy survivors (and who still have no FTL capability). So yeah. Inbreeding.


This is what annoys me the most. That Bioware is not just telling you that Shepard will never see his/her LI again, but that this LI goes on to have lots of kids with the rest of the crew. How screwed up is that?

Basically, it doesn't matter if you romanced the VS or Liara in ME1, because THEY will end up together in the end. It just feels like a totally unnecessary cruelty from Bioware's side.

Do you guys think that it's possible that the only Mass Relay to be destroyed is the one placed in the system that the Normandy is in at the time of the conclusion?

I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say this but this is all I want. In fact, I wouldn't mind an ending where they all went out with a bang together. The fact that they have been separated for what seems like no reason is why I'm pissed right now.

I'd much prefer it if everyone died at the end. I generally like what we have now, (hell, I don't even really mind the Normandy anymore) my biggest problem is that it causes me no end to squick thinking of how much inbreeding would occur. If all endings have Normandy Gilligan's Islanded, then I want the imminent MMO to have a mission that has the PC travel to Rakata Prime an uncharted garden world populated by horribly mutated mongoloids whose bones shatter at anything stronger than a slight breeze. PC then proceeds to execute them Hellgate London style.

Make it happen, BioWare!

Okay, so this basically made everything better... for the moment.

You know you love it. I'd pay for this to happen.

To be honest, I think I will set things up so that the following happens:

1. I romance the VS (or Liara)

2. My galactic readiness isn't very high.  This gives me a bit of freedom in my dealings with the galaxy.

3. I take my LI on the last mission; they die.

4. Shepard dies.

This seems to me to make the most dramatic sense.  And saves us from having to imagine our LI propogating a new generation.

or maybe thats the point.....to save the galaxy, Shep has to seperate from the people he loves.......

Hey, if they didn't matter, we would not have this issue, its simple logic. The fact that we do care about the characters may make the ending better.

Or they'll just slowly starve to death because they can't metabolize anything that grows on their new home.

 Sorry but I disagree with this. I spent time to make sure I ddin't have to sacrifice to get victory, not including Virmire. So why should I not have a non doom and gloom ending, if I put my time into the game to get an ending where I can reap the fruits of my labor? Other have done the same, so why should these people not have one ending that rewards them for this? If your telling me people that have done this shouldn't get that one ending no matter what, then I say you full of sh&*.

oh so shepard has to kill himself to save the galaxy . I am not buying it . If he or she was a real hero and the so called one man or woman who can protect the galaxy . As stated in ME 1 then they would be able to kick the reapers 's ass and save the day like a normal hero would do . Oh but no we have some stupid BSG bull crap ending .

So basically all you misery lovers aren't willing to support only one semi-nice ending. Despite the fact that you get 6 other endings that all suck, we can't have one (that will not effect your story at all) ending where Shepard gets to be marginally happy.

HIlarious, I always support the option of a **** ending and variations of it, but we're not allowed a happy ending?

As others have said this isn't some Shakespeare epic. It's a science fantasy game. It resembles things like Star Wars and Star Trek. Were you also angry when at the end of the Star Trek movie 6, the crew flew off into the sunset together? Or when Luke and all his friends were partying on Endor? I mean obviously in a video game where you choose what happens no one is allowed to choose to be happy.

For the last time, this is not life, this is a game. I don't play games to get a dose of realism, I play them to escape from it. 


Damn straight, if I wanted to be depressed I would watch a free doc on Darfur on PBS. Not pay $60 for a game that will only make me angry and depressed.

Yeah, Bioware should have made Reapers a total joke.

They shouldn't advance gaming as an art form.

No, no.
This should be a story with standards of children cartoons.

Hero get's to live happily ever after with his/hers true love.

Yay!







I'm sorry, but Bioware is not gonna do that nor it should.
Besides, you have many other games that do that, pick those.

I don't really get how you got from "One ending where you don't separate from the LI" to "Reapers are a total joke."
