So we can't get the ending we want after all?

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.

I'm not sure we can do that.
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?

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

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...

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%?
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
