Just chiming in, possibly unnecessarily at this point, to say that I was also disapointed with the ending. The end of the series was always going to be sad because when good things come to an end it is regretful - also, I fully expected Shepard to die.

It's not that the idea behind the ending is atrocious - if this was a lightweight paperback, it might do to spend an afternoon reading, be a bit non-plussed by the whole thing, move on to the next. However, this is ME, and to have such an epic story end like that is immensely unsatisfying: facing a weird shimmery being instead of the enemies that have been portrayed throughout the series; having little to no closure on what happens to all the people/worlds I have come to care about; supposing that the ME world is destroyed for no other reason than "Mystical Being" says so. And since this is ME, knowing that whatever I chose to do did not alter things in the least was a major let-down.

I suppose that what I am saying is that because I love this game and "my Shepard", because the story, the environment and the characters were so engaging it's a shame it ends like an "ok but not good" cheap novel! Now it may be stupid, and unfair to the vision of the creators, but that's the feeling finishing ME3 has left.

we need to get to 1000 pages befor 12am est lol to say it only took a week


I'm not sure we can do that.

5 hours 140 pages to go, time to get cook'n. That would be a crazy figure to throw down since this is just one of many threads on the issue.

if we got all the theards together we would be makeing its over 9000 jokes by wensday night


True, but people seem to like starting their own threads and not coming here.

P.S., does anyone know where the fleet signature images are? Links or anything?

new dlc ending: Shepard is saved by a unicorn wearing a rainbow cape which Shepard uses to resurrect Mordin and Legion. The reapers turn into kittens and everyone is happy. Bam. Screw you Kotaku

It's definitely not unnecessary. We love to hear everyone's opinion.

One thing I do want to bring up is we aren't a lot of people. Lets assume EA sells 1 million copies of ME3, then we represent (at 30,000 votes) 3% of total consumers. So remember that, even if we get to 100,000 votes that's only 10% of your customers. Why would they remake the ending for 10%?

They're probably not going to do anything, but I hope that they do. This is the worst ending I've experienced in any game (yes, even worse than games that say "A winner is you" or Fallout 3). It isn't because it's sad or that there is sacrifice. That's fine. It's that my choices beforehand didn't matter one iota.

I did too, but didn't they say that there Shepard's death was not the only option? Something like "depending on your choices, the outcome will be completely different"? Somewhere, back in the days, when everyone thought we would have the most amazing ending ever...:crying:

Well, you've got to think about the other people who don't get on forums and who don't get to voice their opinion. They could be just as angry, and there could be millions that we don't know about.

 I strongly urge anyone and everyone behind this cause to join the facebook group who hasn't already. Plans are currenty being made for a simultaneous, mass letter writing campaign to Bioware to at least hear us out.

They can choose to ignore anything on the internet but when tens of thousands of letters begin arriving on their doorstep maybe they'll begin to see how much this series truly means to us.

I managed to avoid all spoilers for the game (which was no small feat lemme tell ya) and was genuinely surprised and entertained by the title until the very end. I was worried that Shep and the LI would not be able to get back together and I was concerned at how one "ends" a trilogy when there could be so many different possibilities and still leave yourself open to explore the Intellectual Property.

More than anything by the time I reached Anakin I was feeling very Babylon 5 and looking forward to Shepard saying "Get the hell out of my galaxy" when presented with the three options. I still think this would make for the 'best' ending. One where you refute godkid's arguement and maybe godkid still throws a hissy fit and destroys the relays.

Is it too much to ask for an ending with some actual closure that doesnt completely ruin the setting? Maybe even set the stage for "100 years later..." sort of thing with a new trilogy down the road.

I've just completed the game and although I rarely ever post on BSN felt the need to after...that. To actually destroy the Mass Effect universe (for all intents and purposes) and then all the continuity/plot issues people far more eloquent than I have raised... Urgh. I just feel really, really disappointed and that is a real shame as the other 99% of the game was great IMHO.

Exactly, and if you're angry and not telling everyone on the internet like we do, you can still decide never to invest money in BioWare/EA products again.

when they want to make a new show, do they show it to milions of people?
when they elect a new president do they go to everyone and make them vote?
when they do anykind of survey they dont ask every single person now do they.


yes i do see the flaws there, im just too lazy to type a wall of text about it

Those were some good times. Now the only ending we get with Shepard alive, doesn't even explain how he made it. (+ all the other things not explained)

Look whats happening on YouTube, Tumbler and Facebook, look what a lot of critics say about the end.
It's not just the customers.

Anyone happen to have the link to the image of the similarities between ME3's ending and the antispiral (the one with Tali's photo and junk)

Friend of mine just finished the game and just told me "I don't think I've ever been this disappointed with an ending "

It's generally said that for every one customer that gives you complaint, 10 other customers have the same complaint. Just because we only have 30 000 votes, does not mean that EA/Bioware should just ignore us. Anytime this many people actually make a concerted effort to get noticed, there is clearly a problem that needs to be fixed.
