I dunno :/
It could be or it could be a hint to a new ending?
So we can't get the ending we want after all?

Well, I'm posting here just to add another voice of dissapointment. This could be the best game out of whole ME serie. But after that crappy ending (and this is the nicest thing I can say about it!) - I would prefer ME3 would have never been developed at all.
I have many thoughts about that "choices" and "explanation" at the end of game - but after I have censored myself to be nice here - I have nothing more to say :/
Summarizing - end of ME3 is my personal biggest dissapointment of last decade.

"We are aware of people's concerns and feedback!"
Yes, that's really good to know. But it doesn't answer the question of "can we have a response?"

I'll throw my hat in the ring and add one more post to the disappointment that is the ending. I too have lost a lot of interest in a replay and the series as a whole. They can save their time now and stop wasting time on DLC I won't even want. Why play a game knowing how crappy it will end? I see no point in playing past the Cerberus base. And apparently Bioware agrees since they dumped me back to that point after the credits were done rolling.

They're "aware", I see. Hard not to be. This is pretty much the main topic here after all...
Let's hope it's not all just empty words.

saw that too, just because they're aware of something doesn't mean they're going to do anything. I mean I'm aware that the suns going to explode but honestly I don't care nor am I going to try and fix itMatt_gekko88 wrote...

It can happen. But Im more concerned with getting our message out more. These endings are appalling, oh wait...the ENDING is appaling. Bioware must heed us, we are it's fans, it's life blood, we are what ensures it can go on to the next gaming cycle and now, now we are all ready to walk away from it. Heed this warning Bioware, don't pull a council move!

Actually, the ghost kid said himself that the relays would blow up. And we know, through the in-game codex and the DLC 'The Arrival', that a mass relay exploding takes out all terrestrial planets in a solar system.
The relays were destroyed, but you're assuming they blew up in the same way as what happens when you collide a large asteroid with one. No one knew what the physical consequences of what the crucible/catalyst would have on the relays, since such a thing has never been done before, so I don't see how that particular detail could be in the codex (beyond hypotheses). In any case, we know it's not the same effect; Earth is still there if you destroy the relays.
They violated their own canon, if that were the case. If you look in the codex in game, it specifically says 'destruction of a mass relay is infeasible' it goes on further to say 'a ruptured relay unleashes enough energy to ruin any terrestrial world in the relay's solar system'.
Furthermore, we don't see Earth AFTER the relay explodes, we see it before.
Really? I thought if you had a high enough EMS Shepard lives and is on Earth after they are destroyed.
In any case, you're taking what is said in the codex too literally - like I said the relays have never been destroyed in this way before so the effects of this event are completely unknown. Obviously scientists in the ME universe have opinions on the subject, and they were right about what would happen when you collide an asteroid with one, but this isn't the same thing. They don't have any data to actually know what would happen if the relays are destroyed via the crucible/catalyst, because it's completely untested - it's never been done before - so nothing is being violated. Plus scientists in the ME universe barely understand relay technology.

The ending(s) have made me wish the series was never developed. At least then I wouldn't be feeling this depressed.

People,
Kotaku is very bias in their articles, like a friend of mine over Femshep said:
Shinji2787:
[Kotaku] its like taking your news from fox
Even though it has some valid points, it dismisses our valid points.
Ignore them, just the same way I ignore Penny Arcade.

Wait, WHAT?
Yeah, is... is that a dig at us?
I almost want to say it's a subtle hint that something is being planned past the current ending. But that's probably just the last remanants of the hopeless optimist in me.

Copying this from another ending topic the moderators closed, because im just lazy like that.
Well, I saw those endings and... I felt that it destroyed so much of what the game stood for, I just could'nt believe it.
I just made my own theory, to be sure to have closure for everything: Everyone dies.
That shot from harbinger vaporized you and Anderson. Harby then went for the crew of the Normandy (see how determined and focused he looks like when you "regain consciousness"). Remember, moments before they show a long cinematic where Turians, Krogans and Asaris just get annihilated by the beam. That also explains why you suddenly see your friends hanging on a beautiful planet : got vaporized too. Just like TIM sees a beautiful earth just before dying, everyone sees something beautiful in their death. Also, TIM was actually transformed into a husk during his attempt. What you see in the Citadel is just his remaining consciousness which was already indoctrinated, hence his darker, blight-like appearance.
The conduct, and all the way to the Catalyst, it's just getting from Hell to Heaven. Start out in the red, have a tenous walk to the yellow, then you get lifted to the blue/white light.
Also, there are many paths that lead to the central chamber, but only Shepard's path is the right one. What you see in the end is just basically your consciousness being absorbed by the Catalyst. That's why it's so odd that Anderson, getting "in the beam after you" is in fact on the same path as you, just farther up front. I guess he had less deaths on his hands, or something like that, so he didn't have to take such a long walk. I had more ideas but they kinda got lost while i slept.
But, all in all, the Reaper's won, everyone's dead.
Beside, i think the little boy AI is added by Grandpa to get his grandson's interest... That's why it feels so Space Magic: it is. It's a fairy tale of a long lost human tale. In the end, the Stargazer's we see aren't even humans, they're some other specie. The humans got reaped.
The endings where so bad, that i prefer having my LI and all my friends dead with me, then having them get out of the Normandy super-happy about Shep's death.
This all might seem convoluted, but it's a theory i rather have. At least it gives closure.

I thought that was my job... ah, well you can fill in for me, I'm off to Kotaku to educate the dirty, ignorant masses that make up the comments section (and the article writers).
Hold the line men! Hold the line.

I might have been able to live with the ending had it actually made any sense. But the entire appeal of these games is that I can play through multiple times and get a different ending every time. I somewhat agree with the Kotaku article in that, yes, I understand that my choices matter as they play out as the game progresses, but I just want some freaking closure. I'm also perfectly fine with Shepard dying in some endings, as I'm sure most people are, however there should also be the endings where Shepard gets to go to the bar with Jacob, or build that house with Tali, or have some blue kids with Liara. That's what my Shepard was working toward.
The game is already gut-wrenching enough having to watch Thane fight Kai-Leng knowing he will lose, or watching Mordin go up the elevator knowing he has no escape or sitting next to Anderson in his dying moments. Nobody was expecting a perfect, peaches 'n' cream ending, but most of us believe that our Shepard's deserved a little slice of happiness. And I don't want any bull about how Shepard would be happy knowing he saved everyone, because there is no single ending to this game that you save anything. As far as I'm concerned, without the mass relays or the citadel, the galaxy is effed.
And no, we cannot demand anything from Bioware, this is their creative vision and nobody has any right to take that away. However, we were promised that our decisions would make a difference in the end and they didn't. If the writers want to have their favorite ending one way, that's fine, but at least put in enough endings to make it feel llike our choices really did something. If we were always meant to go with the writer's favorite path, they wouldn't have let you bring Wrex through to Mass Effect 2 and you would have to romance Ashley every time. Why let us choose something different than the writers' picks every step along the way except for the final one?
Anyways, I'm upset. I would never normally go to a forum for not liking a game but this is on a different level. 99.99% of the series is perfect until the last 5 minutes where the team was seemingly stricken with loss of long term memory and reasoning? What the hell happened? Rant over.
