The result from my ending was that I saw a scene with Joker and Liara (love interest). Garrus and Ashley were with me, so I guess that, after everything we went through, they died stupidly in a Reaper laser. And no mention of the others.

So, after all we did in all the games, I don't know if Liara is really pregnant and what will happen to her; if my comrades survived; if just those two survived in the Normandy, and why. And that is just a detail about how bad those endings are. Again, no telling of the story after that. Not a clue.

If the ending wasn't rushed, it certainly was sloppy.

And I just hope they don't come out saying that they had planned a DLC that will explain it all. Just "$9.99". Things like that can't come after the game, in a DLC. It's like buying a car and knowing later that I have to pay more for the tires.


You didn't hook Joker and EDI up?

As I understand it any choice that has EDI survive the crash (Blue or Green) Joker and 2 squadmates (I think LI and the "best friend") are suppose to be seen.

I don't mind a bleak ending. Give me a bleak ending.

But also give me an option for a happy, nice ending. You can leave the bleak one in the game, I have no problem with it. But let me pick a nice, happy, fulfilling ending.

 My cousin came over and asked what I'd been up to this week. Poor girl didn't know the can of worms she was opening. I then went on a 20 minute long rant about the ending. I thought I had reached some sort of acceptance with the ending by pretending it doesn't exist but apparently not. 
She then preceded to complain about some sort of panda bear expansion for WOW. I told her if I had been given a 4th panda option I would have taken it. To mangle a Spaced quote, "The star child makes the ewokes look like *bleeping* shaft." 


lol I spent the afternoon with my mom Sunday and I pretty much just talked about ME3 and how sad I was.  I was laughing about it so she wasn't worried.  I'm 39 years old married mom of 3 and it makes me feel silly.

I can't shake how depressing this makes me.


I know right? I was talking to my non-gamer sister about how hurt I felt. I was actually surprised that she listened to me and tried making me feel better. I don't feel bad that I'm a grown woman who is mad at the ending of a video game. Not while seeing all of you guys feeling the same way.


I'm a 27 yr old married man, with a 3 yr old son. Gaming is one of the few hobbies my wife knows I love and supports me in all my geekiness.
When this ending hit me in the gut, she spent the entire day saying I looked depressed and was worried.
I told her what happened in game, he response "Thats just ******** stupid! So I spent all that time keeping the little one out of your hair for nothing? Those jerks need to pay!... btw now you're done.. take out the garbage"

BioWare should be proud.

Let me say that again.

BioWare should be proud. They created a game, a cast of characters, a universe that has elicited a massive response from the community. They should have come back to work and started giving hi-fives and partying for the first day. For five years we all enjoyed the entire Mass Effect universe, finding little details in replays and codex summaries that drew us in even further.

But now they need to sit down, and look at what they've done, either inadvertently or on purpose. The ending of ME3 was so counter to the core belief of Shepard that it just doesn't make sense. For 99.95% of all three games, gamers were hypnotized, needing to finish that next mission, trying to figure out when their LI got back into the fight, discovering another painful fact about their friends.

We are not here to harass them, nor to demand. This is their game, their vision, and they struggled and slaved to produce these games. All I want, is an ending that is fit for Shepard. They might say the current ones do, and explain how so. If that is the way they are to keep it, I would like that explanation. If it is not, please, just give us a straight answer to there is something on the horizon for us.

Just remember people. You are here because BioWare made such a good game, and we believe it's such a shame to have gone out that way. In with a kick, though with a scream, and out without even a whimper, that is the tale of Shepard. I'll just hope they respond to us sooner rather than later.

Hold the line people.

Godspeed, Commander Shepard. Maybe you find a more fitting end to one as heroic as you.

You know, i read your sig carefully, and i feel thats EXACTLY want they had in mind. The endings we saw were what they had in mind as the definitive ending to Shep. I would love to be wrong, but ive seen too many people theorizing on these endings to NOT see what he means when he says " Itll be different for everyone". 
It kindof was, no?


Well if he meant being different in to the point that we won't understand or be open to interpretation, then yeah, they got it. But this is not what any ME fan would have interpreted from what he said before beating the game. We are all familiar with the way ME works, and how different each Shepard can be. So one could internpret either way I suppose, but we both know that they could have done better and given unique and memorable choices for us that would create those unforgetable and great moments that the rest of the series demostrated. 


I think they used relatively vague phrasings that ended making a false impression on the majority of the fanbase.
I mean, you look at it : many choices UNTIL THE END. You did have many choices , in the ways of who and who dies. You do have lots of choices up until the final moment, where its, to us, all the same. But i think they were going the "deep" way  make it ambigous. You don't have to have many choices to interpret the ending in your own way. I think that what um, they thought...

But dont get me wrong, i really didnt like this ending.

I did. But I guess EDI died as all synthetics did. Too bad. I didn't see no one besides Joker and Liara (lover).

Keep the 3 endings. but for the love of Child space god, give us: An ending where Shepard and Liara have beautiful Blue asari babies together, and ending where Shepard fulfills his promise to Tali, and brings her back to her homeworld and get's her that beautiful house for them to live with. The ending where Shepard has a life with Ashley. Just give us closure, we want all possible endings. Whether they're dismal, or Happy.

We want to see Shepard sacrifice his/her life for the greater good of the galaxy and his name is forever remembered by the races.

We want to see and ending where Shepard lives and has a nice peaceful loving life with his or her love interest.

Or the bad ending where the galaxy still falls to the reapers.

Give us more than three color coded choices with virtually the same outcome.

This reminds me of the "Deception" Crisis of 2012, the whole interweb coming together to rectify problems with inconsistencies at the cost of our sanity, probably, it's like we are all a bunch of superheroes with the power teacher-like perception. Hold the line. It worked last time.

I haven't seen a break down of the ending pop up in awhile so here's one I wrote on another site. I still have trouble believing it.

Reaper ghost god child tells you it made the synthetic reapers to destroy organics because the organics will make synthetics that will destroy all organics. Then gives you 3 ways in which to end this non-logic cycle. At no point are you allowed to punch it in the face or choose to not listen to this reaper god you just met.

This wouldn't be completely horrible if the choices made any sense but unfortunately they do not. 

Blue space magic:
You watch your Shepard's body disintegrate as you ascend to some higher level of consciousness and everything you are becomes one with the giant space maguffin allowing you to control the reapers some how. How does it work? Reaper ghost god wizard did it.

Green space magic: you throw yourself into a giant beam of light which somehow releases green energy that makes every organic part robot and every robot part organic, causing the reapers to run away cause they just can't handle that. How does it work? Reaper ghost god wizard plus Shepard's magic body did it. 

Red space magic: You can shoot this one part of the giant space maguffin which will cause explosions and red energy to shoot out and kill all synthetic life everywhere including your new geth friends and probably EDI. The little annoying ghost child says this choice will reboot the cycle because organics will just build more synthetics which will than rise up, blah blah blah Battlestar Galatica.  It kills all reapers everywhere dead. For some reason Shepard chooses to shoot and then walk into the giant explosion instead of away from it. How does it work? Reaper ghost god wizard did it out of spite. 
However if you have maxed out the game red space magic is the only choice where you get to see Shepard take one single breath at the end in some random rubble, so there's that.

But don't worry too much about what choice you make because it all leads up to the same ending. 

All Mass Effect Relays everywhere are destroyed because the space magic overwhelms them. Reaper ghost god wizard is kind of a jerk like that. 

The Normandy which was involved in the massive fight for Earth is now suddenly near the Sol Mass Effect Relay and has to outrun some energy waves before it's transported to some random place in space where it crash lands on a tropical planet.  The crew of the Normandy pops out looking completely healthy and no worse for wear. Including the people you took on your final mission who got hit with the giant beam of death. So apparently Joker went back for them, left Shepard to rot and made a run for it. Thanks a lot you jerk. If you choose green space magic you get to see Joker and EDI looking pretty smug as they think about all the babies they are going to have, so that's nice for them.

The ai god child doesn't want synthetics to kill organics so he makes his own synthetics to kill the organics before the organics make synthetics that turn on them.

What is this illogical nonsense? So trillions are dead because of some computer error? Trillions dead because someone inputted a 1 or a 0 where they didn't belong or somehow got mixed up?

What makes me sad is that in the end, Kaidan won't get to take his mom off world, Jacob will likely never see his child, Garrus will never see his family again, Wrex will never get to lead his people to new prosperity, Liara will never get her children and even worse will have to mourn Shepard for a second time, and there's nothing I can do to prevent that. Good freaking thing I saved their lives.

Also, Joker will probably trip, have no way of receiving proper medical attention, and die of internal bleeding. If you want to make your series a tragedy, I have no problem with that, just don't feed me the illusion that I'm the one steering.

My last post of the night.

Hold the line.

Yeah, the game doesnt take into account who you took with you on the last mission, so you just have to assume that everyone survives... somehow.

At least a coding error would be a better explanation than the logic fallacy that we were subjected to.
