... man it's times like these I wish I had my own rousing adrenaline pumping sountrack.

I would bet you green money that behind closed doors there are a lot of concerned phone calls going around.

I've noticed that this year.. it's like the internet has finally reached a critical mass, we realize that one individual can now stand, united, with their fellow citizens of earth and affect change within a country, organization or even a global scale. People seem to finally realize it. There was the whole SOPA thing, other stuff that I've seen, I rarely am activist in anyway.. the fact I've bothered to show up here, and actually am angry enough I won't buy DLC until they show me that they're going to fix their mistakes in the product they sold me. (and just FYI for any mgmt reading this, I'd be happy to PM you my gamertag, I've probably put a couple thousand dollars personally into your coffers in the past two years alone)

Better endings will be $10 DLC.

Mark my words.

And the minute we pay for it, EA wins and we still lose by supporting this sort of marketing BS.

Free DLC to fix it would be a win for us, but if we have to pay, then we're just paying more money to people who screwed it up in the first place which is a bad thing imho.

man this is still going strong!

It gets stronger everyday. Every day, someone new posts his/her discontent. 
And there would be much more, if they didn't have that 24 hours waiting for new accounts. Most people just give up at that point.

That, and closing every Ending threads in the non spoiler section. After all, some of them can't register their game, but they still have it...

I'm just too disappointed with Bioware.

The "dream sequence" ending? Oh, no! Not that again. We've seen it in movies, games and everything. And you do all that, from ME1 on, to end like that? Seems that nothing I did was worth anything.

How the hell am I supposed to play again knowing that nothing matters? That gathering every person, making aliances, friendships, relationships, fighting to preserve what we had, was worthless?

What a shameful ending(s)!!!

Anything but getting there, maybe having a "Saren moment" with Tim, and then getting a choice, but for crying out loud, having a chance to survive and save the relays. That's what we need.

I thought we were gonna be able to choose how we organize our troops, so we could make them more useful.

And not another talk with a spirit and making a stupid choice that makes everything else useless.

I thought this was going to be the best ME. But turns out, differently from what happened before, I'm not going to start over. I see no reason to play this game again. Or ME again, by the way! It just makes no sense. Everything that I worked so hard to achieve ends in 5 stupid minutes, with a stupid talk with a stupid ghost, my character acts stupidly, my companions apparently died, and the rest will end in Iguaçu Falls, with no technology.

Man, what a waste.

Agreed.  This was a series I replayed every few months.  Now I can't imagine playing any of them again.  The ending has sapped the will from me.  Nothing I do in game matters.

But everyone will still buy the DLC. And they know that.

I'll pay for it, but it will be my last purchase from EA (not counting story DLC for ME3).

I am afraid that demanding and getting "free" DLC will lead to crappy DLC. If I have to pay $10 to get the cinematic quality of the rest of the game in 3-4 30 minute final boss-ending sequences, I will gladly pay it.

It'll take a lot, but even if we don't win, at least we fought to the very end. for the ending that Mass Effect deserves

the community coming together like this, fighting for the sake of the series and what it deserves....even if we dont win is an amazing tribute to mass effect.

even if we don't win, and the endings never change, we can still look back at this fight and remember what we fought for and all that it means. and we can look back and it will serve as a proper eulogy for the mass effect series. to look back and see that the series was murdered the way that it was, but also to see the loyal fans fight to the death could possibly be a very fitting ending for this series...

In my opinion, after my first playthrough and half way through my second, i have been thinking about the ending choices. I prefer synthesis over destroy at the end due to the fact seeing so many conflict between each races and organic life vs machine. The Catalyst was right to this point; however, i disagree with its decision about "bring order to chaos" by harvesting organic life before they reach the stage of what The Catalyst call " the conflict b/w creators and created" Destroy it will result another chaos in the future and Control it does not really solve the problem at all either. Therefore, the only best choice which our lovely Bioware gave us is "synthesis"
Just my preference.

Going with this is all just a "knocked unconscious" dream.

Red: Reapers prove Organics will eventually destroy Synths
Blue: Organics will seek to enslave Synths
Green: Organics are truly willing to co-exist

In either one you still wake up where the Red one shows you (under debris).
Red: You keep fighting
Blue: You keep fighting
Green: Reapers leave and decide to "watch" things develope

Yeah i think all three choices are understandable and reasonable, but it is just lack of some good closure for this long series ME 1 to 3 and i believe i still want to find out what will happen after synthesis and other two choices. The choices at the end are not the issue. The real problem is lack of good closure for each choice. 

nonono, I mean that if the "ending" we all played wasn't the 'real' ending. And we all will wake up under rubble (like in the Red Choice). And based on what 'choice' we made in the dreamstate the reapers will either keep fighting or leave.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, when 'we' first encountered the Dominion. They put the Defiant crew into a dreamstate to 'test' these unknown lifeforms and how they would react.

The Reapers could be doing the same thing. Shep could be seen as the "typical" organic. And they're testing to see what the organics will do. Because...this one is different.

Interesting fact... my brother, who hasn't played a video game in years, called me yesterday to ask if Mass Effect 3's ending was as bad as everyone says... he saw a bunch of comments about it on facebook and found our thread without ever playing the game... We are getting the message across to the average person! HOLD THE LINE!

You ever heard that men "hold it in" and women "vent"? Well, as a man, I have been venting a lot here lately.

[Rosery99]

No, we won't. And I don't know if Bioware will risk charging for it anymore, there risking the biggest gaming storm in recent history, perhaps in human history. This could sink them AND Ea if there not immensly capable. We've set a dangerous curve here, we are showing every disgruntled fan of every game, that they CAN stand up and fight, they CAN make an impact. If were shown to be ignored...well...there are those out there who might not react so favorably to future games from any devolper knowing there input means nothing. Including professional writers.

Hold The Line.

I agree, and I disagree. It all depends on what is actually going on behind the scenes. If this is all just a marketing ploy, then yes, EA wins. However, if this is a massive misinterpretation of how  the fans would react, and it is decided that a team needs to get together to put together new endings, we honestly can't expect them not to get paid for their work(however, it is my belief that EA should pay out of their own coffers, since we shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes). Yes, there are grey areas between these 2 extremes, but the point is still there.

I think Bioware will say that people are complaining about Shep's death. But it's not that.

First, it's the lack of choice. I think you should be able to save him, and live happily ever after with your loved ones. But even if you CHOSE to sacrifice him, you should have given it a nice ending. With a nice motive; a nice speech; a crucible related reason, like I can kill all the Reapers and preserve the relays just if I sacrifice myself. Otherwise some Reapers will survive, we'll have to kill them ourselves, and more people will die. She thinks that enough people already died, and sacrifice himself.

Anything but the bad ending we saw. And without "spirits" and "projections". Let it go normally as you have to run through the beacon. Forget about the "spiritual sequence".

I think it's just everyone getting tired of being jerked around by huge companies, and that lately its been working good for people who unite.

I also have a bad feeling that in the following years, the gaming industry will crash, or it'll change to what makes the more money and stop producing orignal, exotic games. The title's all be "Somthing 4" or " Someone The Reckoning"...

the problem is that there will still be many that will pay for it, even if they don't like the idea. The satisfaction of seeing Shepard's story come to a proper closure will drive people to do it. Like indoctrination, it will be the salvation. lol

Agreed.. developing code pays my bills.  I don't make stuff at work for free (very often).  At the very least they'll put a 'freebie' as a PR budget, but that means most likely lower quality and put together with management saying "Keep the costs low, reuse stuff where able"... not a good outcome. Finish the game properly, I'll gladly pay 800-1200msp for it depending on how much there is to do in it
